MINNIE COULD SPARK CHICAGO
iTO TITLE; PACES WHITE SOX
TO 2 TRIUMPHS OVER DETROIT
By FRED DOWN
United Press Spori Writer
q It took Minnie Minoso a while
to get started this year but his
blazing finish may be just what
the Chicago White Sox need to
win their first American league
pennant since 1919.
Off to a slow start and then
the victim of a tough break
when he was beaned by Bob
Grim on May 13, Minoso has sud
denly caught fire in the last two
wgeks to spark the White Sox
m the time of their greatest
need. He's been belting the ball
(t a .411 clip since Aug. 7 dur
ing which time the White Sox
have reeled off 10 victories in 13
James.
O The 32-year-old Minoso enjoy
ed his best day of the campaign
Sunday when he collected six
Gfcits in nine tries and drove in
three runs as the White Sox beat
the Detroit Tigers. 2-0 and 8-2.
The victories enabled the White
rpox to sweep their four-game se
Iries with the Tigers and move to
cwithin two percentage points of
(the first-place New York Yan
kees. Johnson Hurls Four-Hitter
g Minoso had two hits in the
first game and his sixth-inning
Corner broke a scoreless duel be
tween Bonnie Johnson and
southpaw Billy Hoeft. Johnson,
recallecfirom Toronto on July 1,
hurled a four-hitter to notch his
(j,xth triumph, second shutout
and reduce his ERA to 1.97.
In the nightcap, Minoso drove
in two runs with a triple and
three singles as the White Sox
celebrated Dick Donovan's re
turn to the firing line with a

One-Two to Angels
By DON THACKERY
United Press Sports Writer
The Hollywood Stars delivered
a solid one-two to their cross
town rival Los Angeles Angels
last night and the blows stagger
ed Pacific Coast league leading
Seattle more than 1,000 miles
away.
The second place Stars clouted
the Cherubs 2-1 in the first game
and then 2-1 again in the second
one. In the meanwhile Seattle
suffered double ignominy at the
hands of the Portland Beavers
who solidified their first div
ision purchase.
Streak Snapped
Portland topped the loop boss
es 9-4 and then 4-0 with the sec
ond Beaver victory snapping a
12-win streak for Seattle's Lou
Kretlow and cutting Seattle's
league lead to three games.
San Francisco's Seals treated
home town fans to" a pair of
come-from-behind victories, beat
ing Oakland 5-2 and 5-3. San
Diego shut out Sacramento 2-0
and then the Sacs spotted the
Pads three runs, but scored in
the bottom of the ninth for a 4-3
decision.
Red Munger notched his 19th
win in the first game, which he
won with a home run, his first
in two years with the Stars.
Then Joe Trimble was returned

short game.
Bill Werle scattered ten Seat
tle hits in winning the opener
in the Northland. He got slug
ging help from Wally Westlake

Dave Melton hit a three-game
home run in the bottom of the
eighth with the score tied to
give San Francisco the first
game victory over Charlie Bea
mon.. The Seals, got only five

In the second game Oakland
took a three - run lead in the
fourth and the Seals erased it
with five big tallies in the fifth.
Reno Cheso and Mike Baxes each
had two-run doubles.
Ed Erautt pitched a three-hit
shutout for San Diego over Sac
ramento, besting Marino Pieret
ti's five-hit effort in the open
er. The winning run in the second

National Am
Charlotte, N.C U.R) The
glamor gals of golf tee off with
no preliminaries today in the
55th Women's National Amateur
tournament and the sizzling set
of opening matches could mean
sudden death for more than one
favorite.
Without a qualifying test and
taking pot luck in a blind draw,
three former champions found
themselves under pressure from
the first tee. Two others can sit
it out for this day only with
byes.
A field of 104 began the first
matches over the Myers Park
Country club course, a roller
coaster test with narrow fair
ways that would put a premium
on staying on the track.
Eighteen hole matches were
played today, another 18 are set
Tuesday; the field will be cut to
the quarter-finals with two
rounds on Wednesday, the semi
finals will be played at 18 holes
Friday and the finals over 36
holes on Saturday.

Lou Donelan
Grabs Main
Auto Race
Lou Donelan took the lead
from Bob Jenkins on the final
turn Saturday night to cop the
main event in hardtop auto races
at the Jackson County speed
way. It was a close finish for the
front four cars. Neil Woolridge
was third and Cecil James was
fourth only about three car
lengths behind Donelan.
Semi-main honors were tak
en by Crock Hunter with Rusty
Phillips second and J. C. Skaggs
third.
James won the A trophy dash
and his points along with those
in the main enabled him to surge
into second place in the track
standings. White Dage was sec
ond in the dash and Donelan
third. Donelan had fast time in
the trials with 20:23 seconds.
Elmer Sisemore claimed the B
trophy and Harvey Trefry was
second.
Jenkins took the first heat of
the night, followed by Hunter.
Sisemore and Dage were one
two in the second heat. Monte
Hall picked up points to go into
the track lead Saturday. He
won the third heat and Cliff
McGilvery was next. Mel Harp
er was victor in the fourth heat.
Donelan placed second.
The track program suffered
a delay when it came time to
turn on lights, it was found that
17 bulbs were out, apparently
shot out by youngsters. Time was
required after that to rustle up
some light globes. But the races
were over by 11 p.m.' even with
the delay.
Ted Sletten rolled over the
rail and an embankment for the
only big spill of the night. He
was back for later racing. Jen
kins car froze on him after he
crossed the finish in the main
and caused a pile up.
Hall now has 180 counters
and James is right behind with
179. Other highs are Donelan
170, Wayne Lemley (previous
leader), 163, Roy Deutschman
and Dage each 147, Woolridge
143. Lou Kurz 134, Bud Hurt
128, Jenkins 121, Sisemore 94
and Bob Wilcox 84.
