Herring Ems Drop 5-4 Game To Chiefs By UNITED PRESS An intential walk that back fired shaved the Northwest league lead of the Eugene Emer alds to but one game over second-place Lewiston last night. Wild Pilch Wenatchee took the Emeralds 5-4 with a ninth-inning run which crossed when hurler Frank Chase was trying to walk Phil Marvier intentionally. His sec ond pitch sailed over Catcher Cliff Dapper's head and Bob Dur etto scored easily from third. Duretto had put the chiefs back in the ball game with a two run homer in the seventh to bring it to 4-4. Tri-City found the eighth in ning profitable harvesting three runs for a 4-3 decision over Yak ima. Singles by Rick Herrera, Danny Holden and Milt Martin and a double by Tom Perez did the damage. The Braves got their other marker in the sixth on Don Pries' triple and a sacrifice fly by Danny Holden. Salem Drubbed Spokane also used an eighth inning rally to take Salem 6-2. Bill Sheets singled, Bob Cerrat to walked, Eddie Murphy bang ed a one-run single, Johnny Bel lone walked and Nap Gully came through with a two-run single during the big frame.

Ph. 2-5207 4 to 3 first baseman, merited his posi tion in the cleanup spot by belt ing a two-run home run in the eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie and give the Seals the game. Seattle rallied in the bottom of the' ninth and got one of the runs back but it wasn't enough. Jim Walsh pitched the win with an eight-hitter while the Seals jumped on ex-San Francis can Elmer Singleton for nine hits and hung the defeat on him. Alexander Loser Joe Trimble pitched Holly wood's win to raise his record to six victories and one defeat. Bob Alexander was the loser. Portland got nine hits off Trimble but he scattered them well and was tight enough in the clutches to leave 11 Beaver runners adrift on the bases. Hollywood could muster only seven hits off Alexander and his relief, Bob Hall, but made them count for the victory. Tonight the teams resume a full schedule with doubleheaders slated in Oakland and Portland. Oak Hitter Leads PCL San Francisco (U.R) Vet eran George Metkovich of Oak land took over the Pacific Coast hitting leadership during the past week as he boosted his average nine points to .333, ac cording to statistics released to day and including Sunday's games. Metkovich has 137 hits in 411 times at bat and included in the production were 13 homers. He has knocked in 63 runs. Steve Bilko of Los Angeles leads in hits with 150, and in home runs with 30. The runs-batted-in leader, with 113, is Earl Rapp of San Diego. Lou Kretlow of Seattle con tinued to dominate the pitching averages with a perfect 11-0 record. Bob Garber, Hollywood, has most wins, 17, against 10 defeats; and he also leads in strikeouts with 147, and innings pitched with 232. Casey Says Cubs Hand By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer A dejected Casey Stengel hint ed today that this is the weak est Yankee club he has ever managed but he insisted it's still strong enough to beat all the other contenders. "I've never seen such poor hitting in all the time I've been here," Stengel said. "The team average is around .250 and the pitching ain't nothing to rave about, either. But bad as every thing is, I still figure we can beat 'em all if we start to play ball." Stengel's remarks came as the Yankees, only three percentage points behind the first place White Sox, were about to launch a crucial three-game series with the fourth-place Red Sox, who are only IV2 games off the pace themselves. Marty Marion's pace -setting White Sox, looking for their first victory in the last five games, also swing back into action to night against the Athletics after enjoying the same day of rest all American League clubs did Monday. Herb Score Faces Detroit The defending champion In dians, who are only a half-game out of first place and still have a big stake in the pennant race themselves, will be trying to snap a three-game losing streak when they send their rookie southpaw fireballer, Herb Score, against fifth-place Detroit to night. Stengel's statement, concern ing his floundering Yankees' pennant chances, put him in the same boat with Marion, Indian Manager Al Lopez and Red Sox Skipper Mike Higgins, all of whom have picked their own clubs to win, also. "I said we'd win before the season started," Marion declar ed Monday, "and I see no reason Archie Moore Cuts Heavy Road Work North Adams, Mass. '(U.R) Having lost 10 pounds in one week, challenger Archie Moore has decided to cut out road work and calisthenics temporarily in his training for his title bout with heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano. Moore, however, will continue sparring daily. He now weighs 190 pounds and expects to weigh 185 when he enters the Yankee Stadium ring to face Marciano on Sept. 20. Yankees Can Win; Newcombe 2nd Loss to change my prediction now. We had our troubles the past week but I think we'll get straight ened out now." Lopez said he was particu larly optimistic now that his In dians were off the road and back home at friendly Municipal Sta dium again while Higgins insist- Camp White Drops 2 RVL To Ashland ROGUE VAIXEY LEAGUE STANDINGS W.
