San Francisco blew a 4-0 lead in the opener and ex-Seal Leo Righetti applied the coup de grace with a sacrifice fly that drove in the tie-breaking run in the seventh and final inning for a 5-4 victory. But in the second game start ing pitcher Fracchia had a 3-1 lead going into the top of the ninth and was determined not to lose it. With one out, Harvey Zernia hit one to the infield and Frac chia raced over to cover first. He fell down as he made the play and when Umpire Cece Carlucci ruled Zernia safe, Frac chia blew his stack. Virtually Paralyzed Leaping to his feet and waving his fist, he took one step toward the ump and collapsed. He lay virtually paralyzed and had to be packed off the field on a stretcher. The club trainer re ported however, that the young righthander had suffered only a severe case of stomach cramps. Bill Bradford took over and preserved the 3-2 win for Frac- cia, although permitting a pair of singles for one run. The split enabled Seattle to in crease its lead to four games over the second place Hollywood Stars, who lost to Portland, 2-0, and to 5V2 games over third place San Diego, beaten by Oak land 5-3. Los Angeles edged Sac ramento, 4-3. In Hollywood, Beaver pitcher Bob Alexander blanked the Stars on four hits the fourth time this season he has van quished Hollywood. Wally Westlake paced Port land's attack on loser Ben Wade with three hits, including a bases-empty homer in the sixth inning.

Chicago Sox Regain American League Leadership; Williams Spurs Boston By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Torrid Ted Williams can't win the pennant for the Red Sox all by himself but he's sure giving it one whale of a try and worry ing all the other contenders half to death in the process. The 36-year-old Williams, who is averaging almost a run batted in per game since coming out of "retirement" in late May, put on one of his patented performances Tuesday night in leading the Red Sox to an 8-3 victory over the Indians and to within 3V2 games of the American league lead. Williams drove in four runs, making a total of 63 in 67 games, as he boosted his batting average to .344 with his 23rd homer and a double. Ted's two-run homer in the third inning was a line drive over the right field fence at the expense of loser Herb Score, while he smashed his two run double to left center field off ace reliever Don Mossi in the seventh. Chiefly because of Williams' lusty hitting, the Red Sox were the only club in the league's "top four" to gain ground. Chicago Takes Over First Even though the White Sox actually lost a percentage point by dividing a doubleheader with the Orioles, they took over first place by two percentage points when the Yankees lost to the Ti gers, 7-2. The White Sox ran their win ning streak to five straight games with a 6-2 victory in the opener but the Orioles ended a four-game losing streak of their own with a 10-3 triumph in the nightcap.
