    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. He started
for St. Louis and walked the
first three batters he faced. Lar

Bobby Hofman hit into a double

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

close games, opened not only the
eyes of the Yankees but the
eyes of a number of other clubs
as well. 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.

A five-run uprising in the
second inning last night enabled
Roseburg to take over front po
sition in the District 43 Amer
ican Legion junior baseball cam
paign. Roseburg's Lockwood Motors
sponsored team tripped Med-ford-Central
Point 8 to 4 in a
tangle at the fairgrounds park
here. The loss dropped the Med
CP aggregation from first to. sec
ond in the chase.
The Douglas county club got
to pitcher Wayne Allen for five
hits in the big frame. Bill Oerd
ing's three-baser drove in three
runs. Allen Lindbloom, Ron
Beamer, Bob McClellan and
Dan Kinney got singles. A base
on balls put one eventual run
on base and a groundout by Jim
Brown drove in one run.
Medford-CP also picked up a
tally in the second stanza and
broke even with Roseburg dur
ing the rest of the fracas.
Oerding Shines
Dick Smith and Oerding com
bined for a four-hit mound job
for the victors. The hits were
off Smith in 4 2-3 innings. Oerd
ing tossed the last 2 1-3. Rose
burg got 12 hits off Allen in six
innings and one off Ernie Tyler
in the seventh.
Oerding was the batting star
of the evening with his triple,
two doubles and a single in five
trips to the plate. Beamer smash
ed three line singles in four
times up and Kinney and Lind
blom slugged two for four. Lar
ry Perkins doubled and singled
for Medford in four batting
turns.
The home club got its second
inning run on singles by Per
kins and King and a couple of
errors, plus a fielder's option.
Perkins led off with his hit but
was forced at second by Ron
Peery. Then Peery was safe at
second on a dropped ball on a
force out play. McLaughlin was
safe at first.
The home crew got its second
inning run when Smith walked
Phil Sword and Allen and hit
Steve Wisely with a pitch. Sword
reached home on Tyler's ground
out.
Singles by Perkins and Dennis
King, a couple of miscues and
two fielder's options got a run
for Medford in the third inning.
Perkins hit but Ron Peery forc
ed him at second. Peery was safe
at second on a dropped ball on
a force out play. That allowed
Dick McLaughlin who had
groundered to occupy first base.
King hit a hard swat which
Smith deflected and second base
man McClellan also couldn't
nail. Peery scored.
Oerding got one of his two
baggers in the fourth frame. Kin
ney flied to leftfield. McLaugh
lin and Peery jostled each other
in the outfield and the ball drop
ped to the ground. That per
mitted Oerding to score, making
the count 6 to 2.
Perkins Doubles
Medford got within striking
distance with two runs in the
fifth. The counters came on a
double by Perkins, a single by
Sword, a base on balls, a field
er's choice and an error. How
ever, the Roseburg team widen
ed the gap with two final mark
ers in the sixth canto. They came
on singles by Lindbloom and
Oerding and three Medford mis
plays. . Oerding struck out four bat

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

British golf authorities' were
concerned.
Miss Gripwall, 17, and curva

British sports event since Ameri

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

was greeted with stony faced
glares from the women spec

ception and at playing in her
first big British tournament she
topped her tee shot. Miss Jans

the loss with Fred Waters getting
the win. 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.
