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

Red Sox, however, dropped
three games off the pace and
Manager Mike Higgms strategy
in starting rookie Frank Bau-
mann in the big game was be
ing sharply questioned. 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.

Former OSC Coach Dies
Los Angeles UP.) Funeral
services were pending today for
retired Occidental college track
and football Coach Joe Pipal, 75,
who for more than 30 years was
ranked as one of the nation's
outstanding mentors.
Pipal, who had been in retire
ment for nearly a decade, was
credited with devising the lat
eral pass while football coach at
Oregon State. He wrote a book,
"The Lateral Pass, Its Technique
and Strategy," which was con
sidered a standard work for foot
ball coaches.
Pipal was brought to this coun
try as a child by his parents from
Zachotin, Czechoslovakia. After
World War I he was loaned to
Czechoslovakia to serve as na
tional director of athletics.
He attended Beloit college,
University of Chicago, Yale and
Harvard universities. Among his
coaching assignments were Be
loit, Doane college, Omaha, Dick
inson, Oregon State and Occi
dental. He coached the Czechoslova
kian Olympic Games team in the

BEAVERS WIN
Portland (U.R) Defending
Champion City Beavers defeated
Willamette 5-2 last night and
Verboort eliminated Astoria
from the double - elimination
state American Baseball Con
gress playoffs with a 10-3 victory.
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
