TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, May 16. 1955 ! MedfordSwTribune Bob Keegan Pitches White Sox to 5 to 1 Victory Over Solons By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Bob Keegan, who was headed for the minors only a week ago, today has the Chicago White Sox back into the thick of the American league race. A sore arm case of most of last year when he didn't win a game until Aug. 31, the 35-year- old Keegan reeled off his sec ond straight triumph Tuesday night when he beat the Wash ington Senators, 5-1, with a nine- hitter. He hasn't yielded an earn ed run in 21 2-3 innings this season and the two victories equal his entire 1955 total. The victory was the fifth straight for the White Sox and moved them to within a game and a half of the Cleveland In dians and New York Yankees who were rained out Tuesday night. On May 9, the White Sox had plummetted to sixth place with a 6-8 record and Manager Marty Marion was considering sending Keegan to the minors The next day, however, Kee gan pitched 8 2-3 scoreless in nings in relief to gain a 2-1 de cision over the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox went on to sweep a three-game series with the De troit Tigers and back came Kee gan Tuesday night with anoth er splendid performance. Scoreless String Snapped Keegan had pitched 19 1-3 con secutive scoreless innings when the Senators got an unearned run with the aid of an error by centerfielder Jim Rivera. He ; was backed by a 14-hit attack that included three hits each by I Bob Nieman and Nelson Fox ' and which dealt Chuck Stobbs his second loss of the year. The Baltimore Orioles pound ed out 14 hits to beat the Kan sas City Athletics, 9-5, and the Detroit Tigers snapped a three game losing streak with a 6-3 decision over the Boston Red Sox in other American league games. Jim Wilson received credit for his fourth victory although it was George Zuverink, relieving for the 15th time this season, who kept the Athletics in check after they cut Baltimore's mar gin to four runs in the seventh. The Tigers routed nemesis Willard Nixon with eight hits and five runs in four innings to drop the Red Sox back to the ,500-mark.

Dodgers Gain Ground In the National league, the Brooklyn Dodgers rolled to their fifth consecutive triumph with a 7-5 verdict over the St, Louis Cardinals. Gil Hodges and PeeWee Reese walloped homers for the Dodgers, who now are only one game out of first place Rookie shortstop Don Biasing ame was the goat, his two er rors preceding Reese's three-run, game-clinching round-tripper. Stu Miller, obtained in the big five-player deal with the Cardinals last Friday, snapped the Philadelphia Phillies' 10- game losing streak with a 3-1 triumph over the Milwaukee Braves.

Ey DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels are about as subtle as an H-bomb about their intention cf keeping the Pacific Coast league lead. Tuesday night the mighty monsters from Southern Calif ornia exploded their big bats against challenging bacramento and blew the Sacs a full two games out of the lead with a 15-1 defeat. Seattle also used the big bat and moved up into a tie with Sacramento by thumping Holly wood 10-4. Portland unleashed a 14-hit attack against Vancouver and won 8-2 while a pair of homers by bonus babies gave San Fran cisco a 5-1 win over San Diego. Gene Mauch was the big gun for the Angels, clouting two home runs and driving in six tallies in the romp over the pesky Solons. The Angels clout ed a total of 17 hits while Dave Hillman was holding the Sacra mentans to five. Flood Gates Open Roger Osenbaugh was the los er, going out ot the contest in the fourth when the Angels threw open the flood gates for seven runs and a 12-0 lead. Portland, led by Bob Borkow- ski, hammered Vancouver for 14 hits. Borkowski had three doubles and two singles in five trips as the Beavers gave Ernie Funk 'his. seventh loss without win for the season. , - Royce Lint was the winner, but needed help from Ray Shore who came on in the seventh and pitched out of a hole to keep the Mounties at bay the rest of the way. Marty Keough and Haywood Sullivan, both signed to big bon uses by the Boston Red Sox, clouted long home runs to help R. W. Smith gain his fourth vic tory for San Francisco. Keough's blast came in the third inning with nobody on and he was at second base in the fifth when Sullivan hit ' a 415 foot blast over the left center field fence. Pete Mesa was the loser as each team got seven hits. Shallock Staggers Art Shallock went the dis tance to pitch Seattle to the win over Holly wooc. but was stag- .
