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

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

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

went the route for the first time
this year and got his second vic
tory. He also chipped in a two
run single in the third inning
when the Sacs bunched four runs
for a 6-0 lead.
Angelo Dagres hit his sixth
home run of the season with a
man aboard to give the Mounties
two runs in the seventh.
