Brewer Beats Indians;
Snider Homers Twice as
Dodgers Take Cardinals
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Coach Dave Ferris' tip to slow
down his delivery was credited
today with enabling Tom Brew
er of the Boston Red Sox to
reach stardom in a big hurry.
Brewer, a 24-ycar-old richt- j
hander from Wadesboro. N.C.. I
took the former Red Sox pitch
irrg star's advice and says "It's
the big reason he now owns a
glittering 9-1 record and a 2 1
earned run average. Brewer
leads the American League in
victories and his eight in a row
are a season high for the majors.
Brewer scored his eighth con
secutive win Monday night when
he flipped a three-hitter to give
the Red Sox a 5-1 victory over
the Cleveland Indians. The In
dians had won the afternoon por
tion of the day-night double
header to extend a Red Sox los
ing streak to three games.
Williams Raises Average
Tom was touched for a run on
a walk and two singles in the
second inning but allowed only
one more hit the rest of the way.
Jackie Jensen hit a two-run
homer for Boston in the second
inning and the Sox added three
more runs in the fifth with the
aid of a double by Ted Williams.
Williams had three hits in' the
doubleheader to raise his average
to .304.
Al Smith. Chico Carrasquel
and Al Rosen homered for the
Indians in the afternoon game,
enabling Cal McLish to pick up
his second victory with relief
aid from Ray Narle-ki.
The Baltimore Orioles dealt
the Detroit Tigers their third
straight setback, 5-4. when Bob
Nieman blasted a 430-foot, two
run homer in the fifth. Hector
Brown won his third game, tak
ing over for George ZuVerink
in the eighth.
Vic Power Stars
Vic Power drove in three
runs with a homer and a double
to lead the Kansas City Ath
letics to a 6-3 triumph after Car
los Paula's three-run pinch
homer in the eighth gave the
Washington Senators a 4-3 de
cision in the opener of their
twi-night doubieheader. Alex
Kellner pitched a seven-hitter
for his third win in the second
game. Bobby Shantz was the
victim of Paula's game-winning
homer and suffered his second
defeat.
The Brooklyn Dodgers, mak
ing passes like they are about to
take charge of the National
League- race, downed the St.
Louis Cardinals. 8-6. with Duke
Snider hitting two homers and
Don Newcombe gaining credit
for his ninth victory. Ransom
Jackson continued his heavy
hitting with a two-run double
and a single to raise his season
average to .351.
The faltering Milwaukee
Braves who saw towering Gene
Conley suffer his third loss since
returning to the active list.
Granny Hamner hit a two-run
double and Stan Lopata stole
home to highlight the Phillies'
attack.
Coifs vs. GP
Here Tonight
The Cheney Colts will try to
out-gallop one of the unblem
ished leaders of the Rogue Val
ley Baseball league Wednesday
night. They go against Grants
Pass in an 8 p.m. scrape at the
fairgrounds ball yard.
No league honors will be at
stake. It will be a non-counting
game. But the Merchants will
be intent on upholding their
prestige and the Colts will aim
at boosting their stature.
A number of ex-Grants Pass
high school players are on the
Merchants roster. Mel Drews, in
his Cavemen prep days a catch
er, could be the GP twirler for
the Wednesday tiff. Another
mound possibility is John Har
bour, back recently from a tour
of Army duty in Germany.
Glenn Reese or Bob Fisher
may do the catching for Grants
Pass. Infielder possibilities are
Don Reese, first base; Bruce
Brickell. second base; Chuck
Nevi, shortstop, and Jay Reese.
third base. Outfielders and re-
serve players are Les Shaw,
John Eggink, Mel Friend, Rus
sell Blacksmith and Jim Shep
herd. Doug McLean is a relief
pitcher.
Don Newman manages the
Merchants.
Statistics for the first two
games this season showed Drews
with six hits in eight times up.
Shaw and Jay Reese had hit
four for 10 and Brickell three
for nine.

Patterson-Moore
Battle Discussed
By JACK CUDDY
United Press Sports Writer
New York (U.R) Promoter
Jim Norris expected to have pre
liminary chats today with the
managers of young Floyd Pat
terson and veteran Archie
Moore about a possible match
for the vacant heavyweight
crown in late September.
Gus D'Amato, Patterson's
pilot, is confident Floyd will be
able to fight in September al
though he has a fractured bone
in his riglit hand. He suffered
the injury last Friday night
while whipping Tommy Hurri
cane Jackson at Madison Square
Garden.
New X-Rays Planned
New ex-rays will be taken
Wednesday night or early Thurs
day to determine whether the
bone pieces are in position to
knit properly or whether they
must be "pegged" with little
steel bolts by surgery to hold
them in place.
D'Amato insisted today, "It's
a clean break, and there'll be no
surgery. He'll be able to start

TV Fighters

New York U.R) Middle
weights Caspar Oretga of Mexi
co and Gene Poirier of Niagara
Falls, N.Y. will be rematched
for another TV fight at St. Nich
olas Arena next month because
of Monday night's close 10
rounder, won by substitute Or
tega on a majority decision. -
Promoter Teddy Brenner said
today, "I'll bring them' back
again on July 16 or 23."
Ortega, whose Ion g-range
counter-punching and superior
ity in the exchanges earned the
verdict, was substituting for
Danny Giovanelli of New York,
who sprained an ankle in train
ing. Nevertheless, Gaspar was
favored at 6-5 in a last-minute
belting switch.
It was an excellent fight, in
which each bled from the nose
Ortega profusely. And Poirier
suffered a bruised nick under
nis right eye. Ortega was
bounced to the canvas for a
"slip" in the eighth round. Each
was knocked back onto his
heels several times. Poirier was
groggy in the sixth and Ortega's
knees were buckled in the
J J seventh.
training at Greenwood Lake,
N.Y. in mid-August, at the latest,
and begin boxing early in Sep
tember." Dr. Kazuo Yanagisowa, bone
specialist at St. Clare's Hospital,
was less optimistic. He said the
first x-rays showed an "angular
fracture" that might require
surgery if the pieces did not re
main m proper position in the
temporary splint.
Thirty-nine - year-old Moore,
light heavyweight champion and
top contender for the vacant
heavyweight title, said, "I be
lieve Patterson will be able to
fight in September. I had three
hand fractures when I was
young, and the longest took
eight weeks to heal."
No Other Fighter Suitable
Charley Johnston, Moore's
manager, sai dhe hoped young
Floyd could meet Archie in Sep
tember because they'll draw
"about 3700,000" and Moore
will become the official suc
cessor" to the retired Rocky
Marciano.
Both Moore and Johnston em
phasized that no other contender
could be substituted for Patter
son for a heavy-title bout. "And
if Patterson can't fight me, I'll
just have to ask every commis
sion in the world to recognize
my claims to the heavyweight
championship," Archie declared.

SHE'S OFF AND RUNNING Marine Pfc. Gloria Griffin, 22, of San Antonio, Texas,
shows her fast getaway under the watchful eye of U. S. Women's Olympic track coach
Mrs. Roxanne Andersen during training in San Francisco. The bashful "blonde
comet" is being touted as one of the most promising Olympic Games prospects to
come out of the women's branch of the Armed Forces. She recently set a Pacific
Association AAU meet clocking in the 50-yard dash of 6.4.
Four Teams Remain in NCAA Series
Bilko's .414
Leads PCL Bats
San Francisco (U.R) Steve
Bilko, who managed to hit at a
.435 clip last week although sick,
continued to run away with the
Pacific Coast league batting race
today by boosting his mark by
three points up to a lusty .414.
The larruping Los Angeles
Angels first baseman also belted
another home run during the
week for a season's total of 24
to stay far ahead of Seattle's
Joe Taylor and the Angels' Jim
Bolger. Each has 13 for second
place.
Big Steve drove 13 more runs
across the plate last week to re
tain his honors for RBIs with 70
but teammate Gene Mauch nudg
ed him out of the lead for the
most hits. The scrappy second
baseman now has 95 to Bilko's
91.
Omaha, Neb. .'U.R) Un-
defeated Minnesota tackles once1
beaten Bradley tonight in the
fourth round of the NCAA col
lege world series.
Arizona and Mississippi, each
of which have bitten the dust
once in the double elmination
national championship, were
scheduled for an afternoon con
test. The Gophers walloped 19 hits
Monday night as they shot past
the Mississippi Rebels, 13-5, for
their third victory. Bradley
stayed alive by eliminating Wy
oming, 12-8. and Arizona ad
vanced to the fourth round by
squeezing home a run in the
ninth to oust New Hampshire,
1-0.
Monday's thriller was the Arizona-New
Hampshire clash. For
eight frames, neither team could
move a man past second.
Then the Arizona club loaded
the bases without a hit in thetop
of the ninth. Craig Sorenson
dropped a perfect bunt and Har
ry Messick tore home from third.
