Chisox, Tribe Keep Up Pace; NY Yanks Retain Shaky Lead Br MILTON RICHMAN Uniud Prats Sports Writer Th stirred-up White Sox and Indians were peppering the Yan kees from both flanks today, anxiously waiting for one false move to knock the New Yorkers out of the American league lead. The White Sox, with definite designs on first place, ran their winning streak to nine games Tuesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox while the In dians reeled off their seventh straight triumph by edging the Orioles, 4-3. Southpaw Whitey Ford kept the wolves from the door, as it were, when he pitched the Yan kees to an 8-4 victory over the Athletics, thereby enabling the Bronx Bombers to retain their shaky i game lead. Hanhman Trims Botox Jack Harshman helped the White Sox run their winning streak to the longest one in five ' -years when he set the Red Sox down on three hits for his fifth victory. The current Chicago winning streak is the longest since the 1951 White Sox won 14 games in a row. Tom Brewer held the White Sox to three hits in six innings but all came in the second in ning when Chicago scored three runs on two singles, a walk, an error bv Ted Williams and a double by Luis Aparico. Early Wynn recorded h i s eighth victory with a five-hit ef fort over Baltimore, the Indians breaking a 3-3 tie when Bobby Avila and Gene Woodling hit back-to-back doubles off reliever George Zuverink in the seventh Baltimore led 3-0 until the sixth when the Tribe tied the score with a three-run rally off starter Connie Johnson. YanktM Parade Homers Home runs by Yogi Berra, Billy Martin and Andy Carey carried the Yankees to their victory over the Athletics. Ford Save up seven hits, including a ninth inning homer by Harry (Suitcase) Simpson. Ex-Yankee Tom Gorman was the loser. ' Detroit and Washington bat tled to a 2-2 tie in a game limited to 4 2-3 innings by rain. The Tigers, who entered the game with a nine-game losing streak, tied the score in the bottom of the fifth off Bunky Stewart as they scored a run when Al Ka line hit into a double play with the bases full. Managers Bucky Harris of Detroit and Chuck Dressen of Washington each pro tested the game as a result of a play which delayed the game 15 minutes in the first inning. The drawn-out argument that ensued revolved around wheth er Senator outfielder Ernie Or aveti caught Jack Phillips' long drive before or after it hit the left field screen. Robin Roberts, back on the beam again after a poor start. snapped the Braves' 11-game winning streak with a five-hit 4-2 victory for the Phillies. Rob erts struck out seven and didn't walk a batter in evening his record at 8-8. The Phils broke a 2- all tie in the eighth when they scored two runs on singles by Stan Lopata, Del Ennis and Elmer Valo along with an error by Bobby Thompson. Braves Lead Out The defeat cut the Braves' lead in the National league to Vt games over the second-place Redlegs, who were rained out in a game with the Pirates. Rube Walker, a last minute replacement for Roy Campanel la, drove in six runs with a hom er, triple and a double to pace the Dodgers to a 10-5 decision over the Cubs. Walker tripled with two on in the first inning, homered with one on in the sixth to break a 4-4 tie and wrapped the game up with a two-run double in the seventh to insure Sal Maglie's second victory. Jackie Robinson clout ed a pair of homers for Brook lyn and Gene Baker and Walt Moryn each homered for Chi cago. Ruben Gomez limited the Car dinals to three infield hits ir. pitching the Giants to a 3-0 vic tory. Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mi zell was the loser although he didn't give up a hit.

New York iU.R) If Jim Wil son pitches the White Sox to the American league pennant and he's making a mighty fine try the Yankees will kick them selves all over the lot for pass ing up an opportunity to get him this winter. Since obtaining the 34-year-old soft-throwing Wilson from the Orioles on May 21, the White Sox have cut 'the Yankees' lead by five games and Wilson has clicked off six victories to bring his record to 10-3. Throughout most of last win ter the Yankees dickered with the Orioles, expressing an inter est in Baltimore pitchers Bill Wight, Ray Moore and Wilson. First the Yankees were interest ed in Wight, then Wilson and for a time in Moore. Orioles Asked Bids Oriole officials indicated they were open for bids and the Yan kees listed such player as sec ond baseman Gerry Coleman and pitcher Tom Morgan as availables. The Orioles held out for still another Yankee player and while negotiations were going on, the Bronx Bombers lost in terest in obtaining Wight be cause he got off to a poor start. So the Yankees focused their at tention on Wilson and Moore but finally decided neither of them was worth what the Orioles were asking. Wilson's brilliant showing with the White Sox so far must come as a particularly annoying boomerang to the Yankees, es pecially in view of the poor pitching they have been getting from Bob Turley and Mickey McDermott, two hurlers they went all-out to obtain from other clubs. No Chance Without Him When the White Sox acquired Wilson from the Orioles, Chi cago Manager Marty Marion said: "Without a pitcher like Wil son we didn't have a chance to win the pennant but now that we've got him, I honestly think we can win it all." The Yankees viewed Wilson's transfer from Baltimore to Chi cago without undue alarm; cer tainly they never felt the ex Milwaukee righthander could possibly make all that differ ence to the White Sox pennant chances. Wilson has had to wait a long time for stardom to beckon. In 1945 he was almost killed by a line drive off Hank Greenberg's bat. As he lay in his hospital bed he debated whether to return to baseball and he admits now he considered giving it up. Pitched No-Hilter For the next few years he drifted between the majors and minors without conspicuous suc cess until June 12, 1954 when he pitched a no-hit, no-run game for the Braves against the Phil lies. . But the Braves peddled him to the Orioles in April of 1955 and even though he was toiling for a seventh-place club he post ed 12 victories against 18 de feats. Those dozen victories, plus the fact that a number of his losses occurred in exceptionally Loser Mizell 7-3. American League Baltimore - 3 5 0 4 9 1 Cleveland Johnson. Zuverink 6 and H. Smith.

Several times during the past winter the Orioles had inquries about Wilson from vari ous American league clubs but no deal for him was consummat ed until last month. And from the looks of things, the Yankee pitching might not be so much at sea today had not the Bronx Bombers missed the boat on Wilson. Oregon Wildlife Work Receives Federal Boost Portland Oregon's wildlife program will get an additional boost of $66,443.73 in restoration funds in 1956 for a whopping total of $355,429.13, the Oregon Game Commission has reported. The $66,443 is Oregon's share in the first apportionment of the accumulated backlog of more than $13,000,000 dollars of fed eral aid for wildlife funds. This huge reserve accumlated from 1939 to 1946 when congress did not appropriate the full re ceipts annually from the 11 per cent excise tax on sporting arms and ammunition. The appropri ation of this backlog was auth orized by the passage of the Bible-Boykin bill in 1955 and a supplemental bill in 1956 appor tioning to the states 20 per cent of the reserve annually until the reserve is exhausted. Oregon's regular portion for 1956 in federal aid in wildlife funds under the Pittman-Robert-son Act amounted to $288,985.41. Matching funds are required for both the reserve funds and reg ular apportionment on the same basis as in the past $1 of state funds for each $3 of feder al funds.

Wednesday, June 27, 1958 Beavers Smash Four Homeruns in 9 to 2 Verdict Over Seattle By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer In defiance of all the laws of physics the Pacific Coast League has five ball teams trying to crowd into first division spots just big enough for two. Naturally something has to give and last night it was the San Fransisco Seals. San Francisco lost to Holly wood by a 10-6 count and fell from behind to fifth. San Diego lost to Sacramento 9-1 and dropped into the seventh place spot. Portland got a 9-2 win from Seattle and moved up a notch while Los Angeles and Vancou ver sat around and let it rain. Meanwhile it was only three and a half games from seventh place to third and everybody but Seattle, Los Angeles and Vancouver were crowded into the space. Hollywood took care of its po sition early in the game with San Francisco by ringing up an eight run first inning and just about settling the issue then. Jerry Casale was the victim of most of the barrage and recorded Swedish Golfer In Shorts Met By Stony Glares Sunningdale, Eng. (U.R) Beauteous blonde teen-ager Marianne Gripwall of Sweden was on the sidelines in her shiny satin shorts today and it prob ably was just as well as far as British golf authorities' were concerned. Miss Gripwall, 17, and curva ceous, stirred up the most ex citement over scanty attire at a British sports event since Ameri ca's Gussie Moran played at Wimbledon in lace panties when she appeared at the first tee Tuesday in the briefest slate gray satin briefs. She was matched with Mary Patton Janssen of Charlottes ville, Va., in the British Wom en's Open. At the first tee she was greeted with stony faced glares from the women spec tators. Unnerved at the cold re ception and at playing in her first big British tournament she topped her tee shot. Miss Jans sen defeated her, 5 and 3, VAGJUM CUP RIM SEAL In addition to the conventional rib-type air seal, Pennsylvania molds 330 vacuum cups into tha beads of the tubeless Aerolux.

The Seals tried to fight back, but a four-run outburst in the eighth was too little and too late. , Marty Keough homered for the losers and R. C. Stevens did likewise for Hollywood. Portland cut Seattle's lead over the Angels to a game and a half by whipping the league leaders behind a barrage of base hits and home runs. The Beavers scored six runs in the first three innings and then coasted as they pounded three pitchers for 14 hits, including four home runs. Luis Marquez, Jack Littrell, Bob Borowski and Jim Baxes hit round trippers for the Beavers and Bob Balcena smashed one for Seattle. Bob Darnell went the route for the win and starter Bud Pod bielan took the loss. Gene Bearden limited San Diego to four hits while his mates combed John Carmichael for 13. However the Solons could not go ahead in the con test until the fifth when they broke a tie with a three run rally. Idle Los Angeles crept to with in a game and a half of Seattle and could take over the lead to day with a double win if Port land dumps the Rainiers again.
