YANKEES CUP CLEVELAND 5-2
AS RIP COLEMAN TOPS WYNN;
WHITE SOX, DODGERS BEATEN
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Casey Stengel's big gamble
paid off and so today the New
York Yankees were rolling at
an .813 pace which threatened
ih leave their three rival con
Senders in the American League
(?ace rolling in the dust.
Stengel gambled and won
Thursday night when he tossed
rookie pitcher Gary (Rip) Cole
man against Early Wynn in the
pressure-steeped opener of a
three-game series with the In
dians. Coleman, recalled recent
ly from Denver, was making
only his second start in the maj
ors but he out-pitched Wynn and
received credit for the Yankees'
5$ triumph.
As a result the Yankees
scored their 13th triumph in 16
games and dropped the second
place Chicago White Sox Hi
games off the pace. The third
place Indians fell two games
behind and the fourth-place
Boston Red Sox now are five
full gasoes out of first place.
(Face Tells On Rivals
Moreover, the Yankees' torrid
pace of the last 18 days seems to
be teliinz on all their rivals
During the same period the
White Sox are 12-5, the Indians
11-5 and the Red Sox 9-7.
Th White Sox suffered their
third loss in five games with
seventh and eighth-place teams
Thursday when they bowed to
Bob Porterfield and the Wash
ington Senators, 6-1. The Red
Sox, meanwhile, had to rebound
from a 6-1 loss to gain a split
with the Detroit Tigers in a 6-4
V nightcap victory.
j Coleman struck out four bat
o Jers and yielded seven hits in
2 $ 2-3 innings before Bob Grim
n (fcame in to snuff out Cleveland's
eighth-inning threat and breeze
through the ninth. Joe Collins,
u who entered the game with a
0 .221 average, sent te Yankees on
f) the road to victory when he
" tagged Wynn for a two-run
o homer In the second inning to
o toQch off a four-run outburst.
It was a bitter defeat for
q Wynn because it was Collins who
Jj on Aug. 2 tagged him for homers
o in the first and 10th innings of
;) a game at Yankee Stadium to
0 give the Yankees a 2-1 triumph.
O Wynn's record is 14-9 and he's
i f.'ciled three straight games to
C! win the 199th game of r: eer.

MEDFORD FIR & MAIN
Porterfield, only Washington
pitcher to beat the White Sox
this year, did It ror the third
time. Hitter Jose Valdivielso's
three hits sparked a 13 blow at
tack that sent Connie Johnson
tc his second defeat. Lone con
solation for the White Sox was
that Minnie Minoso extended his
hitting streak to 18 games
equalling the A. L.'s 1955 high.
Jackie Jensen became the
first American Leaguer to
drive in 100 runs this year when
he hit a two-run homer and two
run double to lead the Red Sox's
10-hit attack in their nightcap.
The Tigers, however, had routed
Willard Nixon in the opener to
win handily behind the eight-hit
pitching of Ned Garver, who
posted his 11th triumph.
Art Ceccarelli pitched four-
hit ball behind a 13-hit attack
as the Kansas City Athletics
routed the Baltimore Orioles,
8-2, in the other A.L. game. Vic
Power had three hits for Kansas
City.

Munger Pitches 20th
Victory As Hollywood
Trims Portland 7-4
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Hollywood's Red Munger, en
joying the best season of his 18
year career, became the Pacific
Coast League's first 20-game
winner last night with a 7-4
triumph over Portland which
kept the second place Stars ZVz
games behind Seattle.
The 36-year-old righthander
tired in the last two innings
when the Beavers reached him
for four hits and three runs.
But George Vico, George
Freese and Bill Hall sparked an
11-hit Hollywood attack to
boost Munger to his fifth
straight win. Vico hit a two-run
homer in the fourth inning off
loser Bob Hall and Freese and
Hall each banged out three hits.
Munger walked one man in
the eighth the first base on
balls he had issued in 25 2-3 in
nings. He gave up eight hits.
First 20-Game Season
The former Cardinal hurler
has lost seven. Until this year
he had never won 20 games in
any one season.
Elsewhere in the loop, Seat
tle's Lou Kretlow posted his 13th
win against one defeat with a
three-hit 6-0 win over San Fran
cisco; Oakland whitewashed San
Moore caught up with him in
New York. His record now is 64
wins and 7 defeats in 71 bouts
with 30 knockouts to his credit.
Giambra, built along the lines
of a Greek hero, has won 41 of
45 fights and 24 by knockouts.
His biggest victory was over
Joey Giardello in 1952 after
losing to the Philadelphia battler
the year before. Giambra's other
losses have been - to Johnny
Cesario in 1951 and Bobby
Dykes last year. He never has
been stopped.
