Kretlow Chalks Up
Ninth Win For Suds;
Pads, Beavers Split
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
One-time ' Eonus Baby" Lou
Kretlow kept up his sensational
drive to return to the majors
last night as he hurled Seattle
to a 9-4 win over Sacramento
for his ninth Pacific Coast
League victory without defeat.
In a rain-spattered contest in
Seattle, the Rainiers backed the
32-year-old righthander with a
13-hit attack against John Briggs
(10-11) and Rex Jones to length
en their league lead to 3'i
games over second place Sai
Diego.
Kretlow gave up nine nns,
struck out five and walked five
in going the distance.
Ketlow, who received S35.000
for signing with Detroit in 1946,
came to Seattle from Baltimore
only last month after bouncing
around in the American League
for the past six years.
Four Shutouts
His first four wins with the
Rainiers were shutouts.
San Diego closed out its series
with Portland by dividing a
doubleheader and capturing the
series, 4-3. The Beavers took the
first game, 3-1, on Ed Burt
schy'i five-hitter and the Pads
roared back to take the nightcap.
11-3.
San Francisco and Hollywood
also split a twin bill, the Seals
winning the opener, 3-1, and the
Stars copping the nightcap, 7-0,
behind Red Munger's six hit
pitching.

United Preit Sports Writer
Two swashbuckling Chicago
White Sox, who walked into the
Yankees' own back yard and
took first place away from them
in a no-quit battle, vowed today
that this time they're going to
hang onto it for a while.
Twice before within the last
six weeks the Windy City whiz
bangs grabbed the top spot in
the American League on June
13, when they held it exactly
one day; and on July 22, when
they lasted only two days.
But, now. buoyed by confi
dence after Thursday's 3-2 thrill
er in which Billy Pierce fanned
pinch-hitter Jerry Coleman of
the Yanks with the bases loaded
and two out in the ninth inning,
the Sox feel it will be different.
"That was a mighty big one,"
beamed Sox skipper Marty Mar
ion. "And it's still a mighty
tough race. But this time we're
on top."
Actually, the Sox lead by only
two percentage points over the
Yankees and by only one game
over the defending champion
Cleveland Indians, who bounced
Boston Thursday, 6-4. And
fourth-place Boston is only three
games behind, with fifth-place
Detroit just 5Vz games away.
A Dramatic Game
The White Sox' big triumph at
Yankee Stadium came in one of
the most dramatic games of the
current season a game worthy
of being a turning-point in the
pennant race, if that's what it
eventually proves to be.
For eight innings lanky Con
nie Johnson, called up from the
minors earlier this month, shut
out New York on four hits.
Meanwhile, the Sox notched an
unearned run off Bob Turley
in the first inning on a walk,
Billy Hunter's error, and Jim
Rivera's single and two more
earned tallies in the third on
Minine Minoso's single and Walt
Dropo's 14th homer of the year.
The Yankees almost scored in
the sixth when Yogi Berra hit
a fly to deep right field with
Andy Carey on third base. But
Riviera's brilliant throw nailed
Carey at the plate.
The Yankees suddenly kayoed
Johnson in the ninth when, in
order with none out, Berra sin
gled, Mickey Mantle homered,
and Bobby Adams erred on Bill
Skowron's grounder. Marion
went for his best in the clutch
Pierce. After, a fly out, the
Yankees loaded the bases on a
walk, a ground out, an inten
tional walk. But then Pierce
struck out war-hero Coleman on
a 2-2 pitch to end the game.
For Cleveland, stout relief
pitching by Don Mossi and Ray
Narelski saved Early Wynn's
13th victory. Mossi fanned Ted
Williams with two on in the
eighth; Narleski fanned Faye
Thorneberry with two out in
the ninth. Al Rosen hit his 16th
homer for Cleveland.
Detroit continued its drive on
first place by beating Baltimore,
7-5. Rookie Frank Lary gained
his 10th victory, with relief help,
and bonus baby Reno Bertoia
blasted a three-run double in the
first inning to lead his support.
Kansas City and Washington
were not scheduled in the Ameri
can League.
In the National, the Brooklyn
Dodgers retained their 12i
game lead by beating Cincinnati,
10-2, as unbeaten rookie Roger
Craig fanned 11 batters and Roy
Campanella hit two home runs.
Craig has won three games dur
ing his 11-day major league ca
reer. This was a five-hitter.
Second-place Milwaukee down
ed Philadelphia, 4-2, as Bob Buhl
pitched an eight-hitter and Ed
Mathews whacked his 25th
homer; the third-place New York
Giant's Ruben Gomez
Suffers Muscle Spasm
Milwaukee (U.R) New York
Giants pitcher Ruben Gomez
suffered a "muscle spasm" while
pitching against the Chicago
Cubs Thursday but Manager Leo
Durocher said the right hander
