I95B Herb Score Aims at Strikeout Mark; Indians Bounce Red Sox; Athletics, Nats Go 1 7 Frames Br FRED DOWN United Preit Sports Writer Herb Score, the rookie sensa tion of 1955, is taking dead aim at teammate Bob Feller's all time strikeout mark for a single season. The 22 -year -old southpaw struck out seven batters as the Cleveland Indians whipped the Boston Red Sox, 6-3, Wednesday and now has whiffed 67 rivals in 60 13 innings. At that pace the Indians have completed one-fifth of their schedule Score will wind up with 335 whiffs in 300 frames. The great Feller set the major league record of 348 strikeouts in 1946 when he pitched 371 in nings. Feller, Walter Johnson and Rube Waddell are the only modern pitchers who have whif fed 300 batters in one season and Waddell's 343-total in 1904 stood for 42 years before Feller broke it. Posts Fifth Victory Score, who struck out 245 bat ters to set a record for a rookie last season, was credited with his fifth triumph of the year Wednesday although he needed help from Don Mossi wnen ne hit a wild streak in tne eigmn inning and walked four batters. Mossi walked two more batters to help treat the Red Sox to three runs but then slammed down the lid. Score's current record is 5-3 but all the losses were by one run margins and two of them were by 1-0. And Wednesday's victory ended a string of five straight losses he suffered at the hands of the Red Sox. So, it's obvious this is one chap who never heard of a sophomore jinx or team jinx. The Indians supported their young prodigy with a 13-hit at tack that handed Frank Sullivan his first loss of the year and enabled them to remain 2V4 games behind the first-place New York Yankees. Yanks Win Again The Yankees boomed out 17 hits against four pitchers to romp over the Detroit Tigers, 13-5, and score their seventh win in eight games. Hank Bauer hit a three-run homer and Billy Martin and Gil McDougald had three hits each for the Yankees. The Chicago White Sox got How does the '56 Chevrolet com pare with Ford, Plymouth, Ram bler?

Kansas. City and Washington struggled for 17 innings before the Athletics won the American League's longest game of the sea son, 7-6, on Camilo Pascual's wild pitch. The errant pitch en abled Cletus Boyer to score from third base with the winnin run. Bob Friend and Dale Long turned in brilliant performances as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-0, and the Chicago Cubs downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, in Na tional League night games. Has Most Victories Friend became the majors' leading winner when he scored his seventh victory, limiting the Cardinals to six hits and striking out five to run his league-leading total to 49. It was Friend's first shutout and seventh com plete game. His record is 7-2. Long hit his fifth homer in as many games and drove in two runs. He now has driven in 16 runs in his last six games and has hit safely in 25 of the Pir ates' last 27. He's hitting .409 and is tied with Wally Post for the NL homer-lead with 11 each. Monte Irvin and Harry Chiti homered in the eighth inning to bring the Cubs from behind and give Vito Valentinetti his first big league win. The victory snap ped the Cubs' three-game losing streak.

Jack Kramer, regarded by many as the all-time greatest of professional tennis players, will be one of the participants when he brings his nationwide tour here next Monday night, it was learned today. The program, sponsored by the Medford Lions club, will be at Hedrick Junior High school gym, starting at 8 p.m. - Kramer is getting in shape for the national prof essional . tourn ament at Los Angeles and has consented to match his skill against others in his troupe here. He probably will play Pancho Segura in the one-set prelimin ary match. Gonxalei vs. Trabert Top billing on the star-studded program goes to Pancho Gonza les, now recognized as the great est player in the world. His Med ford foe will be Tony Trabert, who before turning professional was the world's No. 1 amateur and U. S. and Wimbledon king. Trabert has found his tour against Gonzales a rocky one but never gives up giving the champ a real run for his money. Rex Hartwig, of the Austral ian Davis Cup team, will team with Trabert against Gonzales and Segura in the doubles. Hart wig and Trabert are said to make the ideal doubles team and have been dealing the Panchos a bad time on the tour. Kramer also sent word that he will award a Benrus wrist watch to a member of the audience dur ing the program and will present one of the ball boys, from the Medford High School Tennis club, an autographed tennis rac quet. Official Added Tod Tibbutt, umpire-in-chief for the matches; said today that Warren Deakins, Medford, has been added to the list of officials for the program. Tickets are on sale at Lam port's Sporting Goods store, 226 East Main street. The Lions club will use its share of the gate re ceipts to send members to the club's national convention. Summerlin Eyes Shot At Top Men Detroit (U.R) Johnny Summerlin, young fifth-ranked heavyweight . who Wednesday night handed seventh-ranked Harold Carter his second defeat in 22 fights, today asked for a quick shot at the four men ahead of him. The 24-year-old Detroiter won a unanimous decision over Car ter, 22, Linden, N.J. Referee Lou Jallos had it 98-91, Judge Bill Appleton 96-90 and Judge Al Goodman 98-96. ' Carter Shaken Summerlin shook Carter up in the fifth and seventh rounds. A right knocked Carter back in the fifth but he recovered quick ly and went to the body on the inside. In the seventh, Summer lin had Carter hurt with two left hooks but was too tired to follow up. Summerlin tired badly in the last five rounds and the two judges gave Carter four of them, while Jallas gave the young New Jersey belter the seventh through the ninth. Summerlin said he'd like to meet Johnny Holmarf, Archie Moore, Floyd Patterson or Tom my Jackson. He said Carter re sembled Jackson's fighting style. The ideal pitch of an automo bile horn for maximum warn ing would be about 4.000 cycles per second. However, that sound would be objectionable to per sons living near the road so auto engineers compromise with a less penefrating sound.
