TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. June 13, I9SB Whitey Ford Racks Up 16th Victory As Yankees Drop Hapless White Sox , Br JOHN GRIFFIN United Prei Sports Writer The Chicago White Sox es caped the humiliation oi a no hitter, but they'll never win the American League pennant until they do something about Whitey Ford. That much was clear today in the wake of Ford's four-hit, 4-2, victory over the White Sox at Yankee stadium Tuesday night the Yankee's sixth win in six meetings with the Sox this year and Ford's 16th triumph against only three losses to them during his career. The cocky, pint-sized lefty, who now has beaten Chicago three times this season, had the Sox hitless until Nellie Fox op ened the seventh inning with a slow bouncer through the mid dle. With the pressure off. Ford allowed two runs in that frame before taking hold again to save the victory. Ford's win boosted the Yan kee's American League lead to 4 'j games over the second-place Cleveland Indians, who dropped a a-7 sluefest to Boston, and five games over Chicago. Berra and Carer Yogi Berra singled home Yankee run in the first inning and Andy Carey s two-run pom' er in the second made it 3-0 Legion Nine Downs GP in Shutout Wayne Allen, backed up by al most errorless fielding, pitched the Medford-Central Point American Legion junior base ball team to a 4 to 0 victory ever the Grants Pass Legion club at Grants Pass yesterday after noon. Allen gave up two hits in the seven innings of play. Both were made by the Grants Pass pitcher, Larry Cochell. ' Medford-CP's first inning saw 1-0 Medford lead. Gordon Owsley walked, Larry . Perkins singled, and the two made a double steal. Dick McLaughlin walked to load the bases, and Owsley came home on a sacri fice fly by Eldon Francis. In the sixth, the local aggre gation collected its final three runs. Owsley walked to lead off the inniug, stole second and third, and scored as the GP third baseman mishandled a ball hit by Ron Peery. Peery. on second from the error, scored on a McLoughlin squeeze play bunt. ' For the final tally, Francis walked, went to second on a passed ball, and was brought in a single by Dennis King. Allen rounded out the Med-ford-CP hitting by netting two or three at the plate during the afternoon. Medford-Central Point is now pointing for a game with the Myrtle Creek nine at the fair grounds. 8 p.m. Friday. Jack Sides, manager, and John Ko- venz, coach of the locals came home yesterday with high praise for their players and expect a hard fought game Friday night. Carey singled home another tal ly in the sixth to offset Chicago's seventh- inning runs singled across by Sherman Lollar and Walt Dropo. Cleveland had a 5-4 lead over Boston after six innings on a two-run homer by Vic Wertz and a three-run blast by Al Ros en. But Boston teed off for five runs in the seventh inning, in cluding three on Ted Lepcio's' homer, to clinch the win. The see-saw National league race saw the Pittsburgh Pirates regain first place with a 4-3 victory over Cincinnati, which dropped into second place, a half game behind. Cincinnati scored three runs in the first inning with Gus Bell's triple key blow, but Jack Shepard and Bob SIP EOT Stars Start to Rise; Beavers Fall to Angels. MNESCORES: Medford-CP 100 003 0 Grants Pass 000 000 0 0 By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer Anyone who thinks the Holly wood Stars don't have a chance in the Pacific Coast League is forgetting how they write scripts down in the land of busts and comebacks. As usual in the PCL the past few years and always in the cinema the hero Stars start off the season by flailing around in the depths of the second division. Then they start moving. As of right now the Twinks are out of the doldrums and within a half game of the first division even though they are still a long hop from Los An geles. Tuesday night the Stars topped San Diego 8-5 while the Angels took care of Portland 7-4 to move the Hollywood crew up wards. San Francisco beat Se attle 5-3 and Sacramento downed Vancouver 8-4 in other PCL games. Hollywood moved to within a single percentage point of the Padres when the Stars put to gether a six run inning and held off the Pads the rest of the way. Lino Donoso got the win al though he needed help in t'.ie late stages when the Padres threatened to start re-writing the script. Dave Hoskins, first of four hurlers for the San Diego club, took the loss. It was Hollywood's ninth straight win. In an afternoon game the Angels hit wisely, iK not as often as Portland, to take the win and increase their margin in first place to a game and a half. . Casey Wise. Steve Bilko and Bob Speake hit round trippers for the league-leaders all in the sixth inning to give them their margin and bring them from behind to victory. Dick Drott, who wasn't around the whole game, took the win and starter Bob Darnell was the loser. Jerry Casale starred as San Francisco moved Seattle farther back behind the Angels. Caiale Is Tough Casale fanned eight.'held the Rainiers to nine hits and blasted a long home run in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 tie and give the Seals the ball game. Bud Podbielan surrendered 14 I with the loss. Joe Stanka held Vancouver to Llfe at If s Best! A day cff...a fine horse under you. You signal jour mount and gallop quay. ..that's life at its best!

He also chipped in a two run single in the third inning when the Sacs bunched four runs for a 6-0 lead.
