TWELVE MEDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE

Robinson, Post Spur Redleg
Triumph; Cubs Top Pirates;
Race Tight in National Loop
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Cincinnati Redlegs may
not pick up all the marbles in
the National League's five-team
scramble but it's a cinch they've
got the "rookie of the year" in
20-year-old Frank Robinson.
A mere .263 hitter with Colum
bia in the Sally League last sea
son, the powerful left-fielder is
banging big league pitching at a
.299 clip and Tuesday night
walloped his 11th homer as the
Redleas romped over Philadel
phia Philjies. 9-4. At his current
pace. Robinson will challenge
Wally Berger's 26-year old mark
of 38 homers by a rookie.
With Wally Post driving in
four runs with his 12th and 13th
homers and Robinson collecting
two hits for the third time in
four games, the Redlegs made it
seven victories in 10 contests.
In the process they helped throw
the NL race into a knot as tight
as Jack Benny's purse strings.
The Pittsburgh Pirates bowed
to the Chicago Cubs. 7-3. but
remained atop the circuit with
a .585 percentage. The Redlegs
follow with .581 and the St.
Louis Cardinal?, who beat the
New York Giants, 3-1, are next
at .578.
The Brooklyn Dodgers further
tightened matters when they
whipped the Milwaukee Braves,
6-1, dropping the Tribe into
fourth place a game off the
pace. The world champions are
fifth With a 22-19 record but in
easy striking distance of the
lead, only two games behind the
Pirates.
The Pirates suffered their sec
ond straight defeat when the
Cubs kayoed Bob Friend with a
five-run rally in the third in
ning. Warren Hacker limited the
Pirates to seven hits and had a
shutout until the ninth when
Frank Thomas belted his 10th
homer with two aboard. The
loss ended Friend's six-game
winning streak and the win was
the Cubs' fourth in five 'games.
Willard Schmidt held the
punchless Giants to five hits in
scoring his third victory and
first since May 8 for the Cardi
nals. Wally Moon's two -run
triple in the sixth inning and
Ken Boyer's 14th homer of the
year accounted for St. Louis'
runs.
Towering Roger Craig hurled
a two-hitter to win his fifth
game and give the Dodgers their
second straight decision over the
Braves. Southpaw Warren Spahn
was lifted when the Dodgers
scored two runs in the second in
ning and lost his fifth game.
Randy Jackson and Junior Gil
liam had three hits each to lead
Brooklyn's attack.
Tigers Pad Streak
In the American League, the
onrushing Detroit Tigers
achieved the longest winning
streak of the season when they
outslugged the Boston Red Sox.
14-H. for their seventh straight
triumph. Ray Boone knocked in
five runs with two singles, a
double and a homer and Frank
House homered and drove in
three runs to lead Detroit's 17-
Milo Savage
Fights Boyd
Chicago (UP.) Milo Sav
age was a 7-5 underdog for his
middleweight television fight
with Bobby Boyd tonight, but he
predicted today the odds would
be wrong "if Boyd'll just stand
toe to toe with me and not run."
The pair meet in the Chicago
stadium in a revenge scrap for
Boyd, who now has won eight
straight fights since he was last
beaten, by Savage, April 18,
1955.
"I don't think Boyd is of cham
pionship caliber." Savage snap
ped. "Gene Fullmer and Holly
Mims are far superior to him.
Boyd runs too much."
Savage's ranting perhaps was
intended to anger his foe, for
both Fullmer and Mims were
victims during Boyd's winning
streak, and he has offered to
tangle with Fullmer again and
beat him to "prove" he is more
entitled to a chance at Ray Rob
inson's championship than Fullmer.
hit assault.
The Kansas City Athletics
handed the first-place New
York Yankees their fourth
straight loss, 7-4, with the aid
of three unearned runs. The
Yankees committed five errors.
Mickey Mantle hit his 21st homer
of the year for the Yankees.
The Cleveland Indians moved
into second place 3'2 games be
hind the Yanks when Bob Lem
on's eight-hitter gave them an
8-3 victory over the Baltimore
Orioles. Chico Carrasquel had
three hits and rookie Earl Aver
ill a homer to lead Cleveland.
Chuck Stobbs' four-hit pitch
ing enabled the Washington Sen
ators to beat the Chicago White
Sox, 3-1, and drop them into
third place. Stobbs fanned seven
and walked only two in squaring
his season's record at 4-4.

Portlanders Subdue

By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The Los Angeles Angels may
have most of the delegates to
win the Pacific Coast league
pennant election,, but Seattle
and Sacramento are not con
ceding a thing.
The Solons spotted the Angels
four runs last night and then
came back to beat them 7-6. Seat
tle also gave away four to the
San Francisco Seals but wound
up with a 5-4 decision in 11
innings.
Portland kept the first divis
ion a closed corporation for a
while by turning back San Diego
5-3 and Hollywood dumped Van
couver 6-5 in a cellar series
game.
Two of the winning pitchers
in the games did enough damage
at the plate to help their cause
along.
Wade Homers
Ben Wade, pitching in relief
for Hollywood, smacked a tie
breaking solo home run, his third
of the season, in the eighth- to
insure his winning the game.
The Stars outhit the Mounties
14-13.
And Bill Werle, who went the
route for Portland, brought his
team from behind with a homer
that made the score 3-3 in the
seventh.
Then the Beavers got the idea
and whacked John Carmichael
around for two more runs and

the ball game.
Earl Harrist was the winner
against the potent Los Angeles
squad, but he needed a stellar
relief stint from Milo Candini.
Candini pitched the final two
innings and blanked the Angels
on one hit while-fanning two
batters in each of the frames.
Harry Perkowski was the los
er. Slow Starter
San Francisco scored four
times in the first inning against
Seattle and the road looked
rocky for veteran Howie Judson.
However Judson gave up only
two hits in the next ten frames
and came out on top when Joe
Taylor belted one over the left
field fence in the top of the
11th to break a 4-4 tie.
The Suds had knotted the
score in the seventh by scoring
four runs of their own on six
hits and driving starter Bill
Henry to the showers. Bill Slack
came on in that frame and gave
up only two hits. But one of
them was Taylor's game-winner.

Moore Stops Pompey
In 10th To Keep Hold

London (U.R) Ancient Ar
chie Moore, more annoyed by a
"very rude" referee than any
efforts put forth by Yolande
Pompey, may tackle Canadian
heavyweight champion James J.
Parker next in a possible tune
up for a heavyweight title fight.
Moore, somewhat weakened
by the loss of 37 pounds to make
the light-heavyweight limit, suc
cessfully defended his 175-pound
crown Tuesday night by flooring
Pompey three times in the 10th
round for a technical knockout..1
The finish came like a whirl
wind, after eight lackluster
rounds. Pompey, of Trinidad,
was simply swept away by
Moore's, power punching and ref
eree Jack Hart drew the curtains
of-mercy at 2:50 of the 10th.
Thought Harl Rude
Hart, rather than Pompey was
the first person Archie spoke
about when he reached his dress
ing room.
Hart warned Moore in the sec
ond round to show some action
or get thrown out of the ring.

on the face of pi'cher Larry Suzuki as he admires the arm
of first baseman Jimmy Blair. Jimmy had iust hit his
