Nixon Beats Yankees,
Dodgers Break Losing
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
They're calling Willard Nixon
the New York Yankees' No. 1
nemesis today but they'd be
more accurate if they called the
Boston Red Sox' 27-year-old
right-hander, "Mr. Clutch" and
let it go at that.
For the big sinker-bailer is
shaping up as the key pitcher of
the torrid American League race
because of his uncanny ability to
beat the other first division
5 teams. Nixon's fine 12-5 overall
record is enhanced by the fact
that he has a composite showing
of 10-3 against the other four
contenders and owns 10 of the
23 wins the Red Sox have scored
against the Yankees, Chicago
White Sox and Detroit Tigers.
Nixon turned in a neat six
hitter to beat the Yankees, 4-1,
before a crowd of 61,673 at Yan-
kee Stadium Tuesday night. It
marked the fourth time in five
tries this year that he beat the
Yankees and gave him a brilliant
two-year record of eight victories
and two losses against them.
The "Yankee Killer"
It's no surprise that Nixon has
earned a reputation as a "Yan
liee killer" but that's only part
of the story. He's also beaten the
first-place White Sox and fifth-
place Tigers three times each. In
the last 14 days he's beaten the
White Sox twice and the Tigers
once in addition to Tuesday
night's triumps over the Yan
kees. '
New York's loss, combined
with victories by the White Sox
and Indians, dropped the Yan
kees into third place only a half
game ahead of the Red Sox. The
Red Sox trail the White Sox by
a game-and-a-half and Cleveland
by one game.
Billy Pierce pitched a two
hitter as the White Sox snapped
a four game losing streak and
held onto first place with a 4-1
victory over the Kansas City
Athletics. Pierce, who won his
eighth game, had a one-hitter
until the ninth when Bill Wilson
homered. The White Sox
wrapped it up with a three-run
second-inning rally in which
Pierce singled home a run and
Minnie Minoso delivered a two
run triple.
Singles In
Tarn Match
Chicago OJ.R) Eight
singles matches between top Am
erican and foreign golf stars
were on tap for Tarn O'Shant
er's "International Cup Match"
today with the home team hold
ing a 2Vi to 1V4 edge after four
team battles.
In the opening four scraps,
with two man teams playing al
ternate shots, the Americans
came up with two victories and
a half, while British Open cham
pion Peter Thomson of Austra
lia and teammate Angel Guitier-
rez of Spain turned in the only
foreign victory, 3 and 2 over
PGA champion Doug Ford, Ut-
ica, N.Y., and Leo Biagetti, Will
oughby, Ohio.

as Jay Hebert, Woodmere, L.I.,
and Bo Wininger, Oklahoma
City, Okla., came from behind to

a reaction to recent tragic acci
dents with the announcement by
the Mexican government that it
has suspended the sixth annual
Pan-American road race sched

In the first "five runnings of
the Pan-American race, from the
southern border of Mexico to

spectators were killed in acci
dents and many more injured.
The suspension order from the
office of President Adolfo Ruiz
Cortinez said that all racing
automobiles would be barred
from federal highways "until
regulations give ample assurance
of safety for specators."
Mexico's action follows the

But the lowly Oakland Oaks
came to the rescue by hanging
2-1 and 5-4 defeats on San Diego
that dropped the defending
champions into third place, a
half-game behind Hollywood.
Perched higher in the stand
ings than ever before this season,
the Stars trailed front-running
Seattle by 3 2 games. The Rai
niers pulled one out of the fire
with a two-run rally in the ninth
inning to beat San Francisco 2-1.
Sacramento squeezed past Los
Angeles 2-1 as Marino Pieretti,
with ninth inning help from
Roger Osenbaugh, tossed a neat
three-hitter.

settled it in the first inning by
putting together five hits, a walk
and two errors for seven runs.
In the second game, another
redhead, Portland's Red Adams,
bested Roger Bowman in a tight
duel. Adams gave up seven hits
to Bowman's four. Bowman let
Ed Mickelson tag him for a
double in the second inning
which, along with a wild pitch
and Don Eggert's sacrifice fly,
resulted in the winning run.
Oakland's George Metkovich

inning first game in Emeryville
when he lined a single to center
scoring Al Van Alstyne in the
eighth inning. Chris Van Cuyk
pitched a four-hitter to beat
John Carmichael who gave up
six hits, one a homer by Joe

the nightcap, breaking a 4-4 tie
