Newspaper Page Text0 TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, August 12, 1955 o o G O O Indians Sweep Tiger Series, detain Two Point AIL Lead By FRED DOWN o United Pres Sport Writer The New York Yankees big winter deal finally was paying off today but a couple of little cnes made by the Cleveland In dians and Chicago White Sox may prove more important in O deciding the American League O pennant race. The Yankees were convinced O they hadC'wori" the pennant when they obtained Bob Turley and Don Larsen from Baltimore G in that massive, 16-player trans action last Nov. 18 and the big G pitchers suddenly have stepped in to save Manager Casey Stelgel's buckling staff. They've accounted for five of the Yan ecs last six victories and show Qa combined 17-11 mark for G5 the year. But a pair of $15,000 deals Cleveland's acquisition of out fielder Hoot Evers and Chicago's of pitcher Connie Johnson are paying off, too, and could mean the flag for either the Indians G r White Sox. The 34-year old Evers de- livered a three-run homer Thurs- O day to give the Indians a 3-1 Qvictory over the Detroit Tigers. D The blow enabled the Indians to sweep their three-game series with the Tigers and to retain their two percentage point hold G on first place. Evers' homer, his second for 0 Cleveland in the month he s been with the team, came in the sixth inning off southpaw O Eilly Hoeft and paved the way G) for Early Wynn to win his 14th game of the year and 198th of his career. Wynn, who struck out seven and allowed eight hits, needs only two more triumphs to join teammate Bob Feller as the only active 200- .game winners. Feller has won Johnson, a 32-year old right hander recalled from Toronto n the International League little Oaver a month ago, scored his fifth triumph since July 4 as the e White Sox crushed the Kansas City Athletics, 14-1. Johnson, the team's biggest winner since Pjhe joined the White Sox, has been the keycman in making Clip for the loss of ailing 13-game winfitr Dick Donoven. His earned run average is a elitter- O ing 2.20 and he's pitched four w complete games. (aim Rivera sparked the White Sox' 16-hit attack with two Qtriples and a double, driving in five runs and scoring four him Qself. Minnie Minoso collected a triple, double and two singles and Walt Dropo homered for Chicago. Turley, whose failures against first-division teams were a keen disappointment to Manager Casey Stengel, came through with his second straight strong performance in beating the Red Sox, 5-3, Thursday. Turley struck out six batters before giving way to relief pitcher Tommy Byrne in the ninth. It was Tur ley's 13th win and followed Lar sen's fourth victory a 13-in-ning, 3-2 verdict over the Red Sox on Wednesday. Two Thousand Hits For Williams The sole consolation for the Red Sox was Ted Williams' at tainment of the 2,000-hit level with a first-inning single. The Standings AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.

Ihe $90,000 bonus pitcher yielded four runs in less than two inn ings in his major league starting debut. In the heat of the American League race, brilliant achieve ments by Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs and Willard Schmidt of the St. Louis Cardi nals went almost unnoticed. Banks tied Vern Stephens' maior league mark for shortstop by belting his 39th homer of the season as the Cubs bowed in 11 innings to the Cincinnati Red legs, 6-5, and Schmidt, a 22-year old rookie brought up on July 12, pitched a one-hitter as the St. Louis Cardinals drubbed the Milwaukee Braves 7-1 and 4-0. As a result, the Brooklyn Dodgers' lead over the Braves soared to 16 games and their "magic number" for pennant clinching dropped to 26.

Unknown Among Three In Tie After 18 Holes At Shanter's World Tourney Chicago flJ.PJ Mike Krak, the son of an immigrant Czech oslovakian steel worker who has made only $970 in 18 tourna ments this year, was on the road today toward a SI 06,000 payoff which could make him golf's leading money winner for 1955. Krak, a 27-year-old unattached pro from Louisville, rattled Tam O'Shanter Thursday for a 66 to tie with two far better known "names," Bob Rosburg and Gene Littler, for first place after 18 holes of the $157,200 "world"' tourney. Littler, 25, the National Ama teur champion in 1954, was fifth leading money winner this year with $15,657.76, and Rosburg, 29, the National Amateur, has picked up $15,014.76 to rank sixth in earnings. But heading into the second round of the game's richest event, they were no better than Krak, who was deprived of a chance to play the final rounds of the British Open this year by a two stroke penalty for a lost ball on the seventh hole of the second round. Had Hot Putleri Thursday all three players had hot putters as Krak twice dropped birdie putts of three feet and another of seven. He also chipped only five inches from the pin to birdie another hole. Roseburg had seven putts ranging from 30 inches to 15 feet to get birdies. Littler, who had birdies on three of the four par five holes, canned birdie putts of four, five, six, eight and twelve feet. Their hot runs, though, left them only one stroke ahead of Fred. Hawkins, Chicago, and Bo Wininger, Oklahoma City, Okla with 67's and Iwo up on An tonio Cerda, Argentina; Henry Ransom, Chicago, and Jay He bert, Woodmere, L.I., with 68 s. Eight players were deadlocked at 69 too. A total of 41 of the 105 pros contesting for the top award in the tournament equalled or broke the par of 72, a perform ance rated by sponsors as the best first day scoring in the 15 year history of the event Salt Lake City: Middleweight Milo Savage from Salt Lake City.
