EIGHT MEBPORB (OMfJOK) MAIL TAltVVt Menday, August I. 1ISI Mathews, Aaron Sparkle as Braves Retain Two-Game Lead over Dodgers STANDINGS By FRED DOWK Unitact Pi Sporti Writtr Ed Mathews joined with the streaking Hank Aaron today to put the Milwaukie Braves' pen nant express back in high gear. Placed between Aaron and long-ball hitting Joe Adcock in Fred Haney'a latest effort to map him out of a season -long slump, Mathews has knocked, in seven runs while homering in each of his last four games. The irrepressible Aaron, meanwhile, stretched his batting streak to a season's high of 22 consecu tive games during which he's hit .424. Mathews and Aaron drove in seven runs Sunday as the Braves drubbed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-1, and 5-0, to hold their two game lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers and stretch tneir mar gin to three games over the rain ed out Cincinnati Redlegs. Chi cago at New York also was rain ed out. Mathews walloped a solo hom er and Aaron a three-run round- tripper in the first game to help Gene Conley register his sixtn victory and hand Ron Kline his 12th loss. In the nightcap, Math ews whacked a two-run homer and Aaron delivered a triple and single as Lew Burdette scored his fifth shutout and 13th win of the season. Aaron's four hits in seven tries raised his league- leading batting average to .345 20 points more than second place Stan Musial. Thro Straight For BraTM The victories stretched the Braves' newest spurt to three straight and gave them a 10-1 edge over the Pirates since Haney took over on June 16. Duke Snider smashed three home runs to raise his season total to 30 and lead the Dodg ers to 7-0 and 9-3 triumphs over the St. Louis Cardinals. Sal Mag-lie threw a four-hitter for his fifth win of the season and the 100th of his career in the first game while relief pitcher Ed Roebuck won his fourth game of the year in the nightcap. The world champions have won 14 of their last 17 games and 18 of 24 since Manager Walt Alston initiated his '"give 'em hell" campaign on July 14. In the American league, the New York Yankees suffered their sixth straight defeat when they bowed to the Detroit Tig ers, 8-5, but held their seven- game lead when the second-place Cleveland Indians lost to the Bos ton Red Sox, 2-1. Al Kaline's three-run homer helped the Tigers sweep the three-game series with the Yan kees despite homer by Mickey Mantle, Bill Skowron and Yogi Berra. Mantle's was his 37th of the campaign equalling his previous high for a season and putting him 11 games ahead of Babe Ruth's record 1927 pace. Jim Bunning won his first game while Tom Sturdivant suffered his sixth loss. Sox Sweep Indians Ted Williams hit his 12th hom er of the year in the sixth in ning to give the Red Sox a sweep of their three-game set with the Indians. Dave Sisler went all the way in a game called after seven innings be cause of rain to score his fifth triumph and help hand Bob Lemon his ninth loss against 14 wins. The Red Sox now trail the Indians by only 1 V4 games. The Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox for the first time at Comiskey park this year when they swept doublehead er, 5-4 and 7-2. Bob Hale tripled and George Zuverink singled to drive in the decisive run in the 10th inning of the opener while Tito Francona's three - run, sev enth-inning triple was the key blow in clinching the nightcap. Pete Runnels had four singles and Clint Courtney two doubles and a single to lead the Washing ton Senators to a 10-4 decision over the Kansas City Athletics in the other AL game. Chuck Stobbs went all the way in 98 degree heat to win his 10th game. Roy Sievers, Hector Lo pez and Vic Power homered. MEDFORDvTTUBUNI SIPdDMTTS Cheney Studs, Sox Sweep SOL Series A 12 to 7 verdict over the Coos Bay-North Bend Lumber jacks in a wide open skirmish yesterday enabled the Medford Cheney Studs to wrap up their first three game series sweep of the Southern Oregon Baseball league campaign. And the Studs' Derald Wootoh was established as the SOL's leading chucker as the Medford diamonders contin ued their romp at the front of the pack in the circuit. Medford's three triumphs and Drain's clean sweep over the Bend Loggers turned the SOLJ to the 'Jacks and the Studs titular contention into a two way chase. However, Drain, two tussles behind Medford in the standings, won't quite be able to catch the Studs who will have a bye next week end. The Black Sox oppose the Lumberjacks while the Cheney nine has non league frays with Beaverton. Five home runs were blasted in the ruckus yesterday as Med ford added the victory to 14 to 4 and 12 to 4 decisions on Satur day. Four of the four-masters were by Studs as Wooton's mates provided the heavy hit ting and runs which boosted him to his fifth league win against no losses. It was the- first set back in six tussles for Jerry Bartow, the 'Jacks winningest flinger. Drain clubbed Bend 22 to 5 Saturday and 5 to 4 and 5 to 3 Sunday. Jim Bailey Wins Mile Vancouver, B.C. U.R) Jim Bailey, the man who carried the colors of University of Oregon to the first sub-4 minute mile in the United States, Saturday won the mile event at Vancouver's 70th annual Caledonian games with a time of 4:14. Right behind Bailey was Bill Dellinger. the Springfield, Ore., teammate of Bailey and U.S. en try in the Olympics, with a time of 4:15. Jerry Bettendorf parked two home run balls over the inner left field barrier to drive in four tallies for the Cheney nine Twink Pederson hit for the four base route with one mate aboard. And John Kovenz, who had three safe raps in five times up, socked - a solo round-trip blow. Joe Trembly gave CB-NB the heavy part of its wallop with a homer and three-baser which ag gregated five runs... While Wooton yielded 10 hits reached Bartow for 12, miscues played a considerable part in the scoring. Not an earned run was chalked up against the Medford nine and only five Stud markers were chargable to Bartow. The twirlers were close to even sta tistically. They each struck out five batters. Bartow issued six bases on balls and Wooton four. In Medford' slugging depart ment Pederson collected two hits in three times at bat and Terry Maddox and Bettendorf each two for five. Fred Granato was a three for fiver. Tom Hunt recorded two for four and Joe Trembly two for five. Pederion Hurt CB-NB did its scoring at- the start and at the finish yester day while the bulk of Medford scoring was in the middle in nings with a flourish at the end. The Lumberjacks got three of their counters in the first in ning on four hits and four in the final panel on two hits one the three-run homer by Trem bly. Twink Pederson is reported ly lost for a couple of weeks after reinjury of a knee in the game. CB's Fred Granato hurt an ankle. Bartow pitched the full game with his ankle taped because of a sprain earlier in the week. Wooton had two fing ers on his pitching hand taped. The injury was a souvenir of a trip to the Gold Rush Jubilee at Jacksonville on Saturday. On Saturday night the Studs were spurred by the heavy slug- FUST TAKE THE WHEEL ask is that you take tht- wheal rive the '56 Plymouth yourself, don't want to hollar about our low prices . . . high trode-in allowances . . . easy terms.

Glendale kept its distance out in front with a 13 to 5 win over Eagle Point. Cave Junction with an 8 to 1 victory over the Colts and Grants Pass with a 9 to 0 forfeit from Ashland stayed in a deadlock for second spot. Camp White defeated Butte Falls 8 to 5 to pull into a tie with Ashland for fifth spot. The Colts were held to two hits by ex-Illinois Valley high pitcher Jim Eggers, who was credited with 10 strikeouts, gave five walks and hit one batter. His Outlaw teammates gave him runs enough to win on in the first inning four counters on homers by Wayne and Les Saf fer and Ron Maurer and a single by Larry Maurer. Kay Kelley relieved Colt starting tosser Bruce Forette af ter those four hits. Kelley held CJ to six hits, fanning six and walking two. He yielded a hom er to Lou Maurer in the sev enth inning.

Six runs in the third inning were enough for Camp White Solons Help Angels Up Bulge To 7 Games By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels ex tended their lead in the Pacific Coast League race to seven fat games today and it looked as if nothing short of a rash of brok en arms could stop them from winning their first pennant in nine years. Manager Bob Scheffing's Cher ubs got an unexpected assist from Sacramento Sunday night, which trimmed Seattle twice in a double header by scores of 4-1 and 7-6 to drop the Rainiers back to seven games off the pace. Before this nocturnal catas trophe overtook the defending pennant"" winners, Los Angeles had split a twin bill with arch rival Hollywood. The Twinks, who hold a 10-8 lead over L.A. in this year's series, won the opener 6-5 and the Angels stormed back with a 9-4 victory. Seals, Beavers Split San Francisco and Portland also divided, the Beavers taking the opener 4-1 and the Seals 'the finale, 5-4. The standoff left San Francisco tied with Sacramento for fifth place. Vancouver and San Diego, were idle. Hollywood snatched the open er from Los Angeles in the ninth frame on a bases-loaded single by R. C. Stevens that broke a 5-5 tie. Marino Pieretti took the defeat, his eighth, while Bob Garber was credited with his sixth triumph. The Angels cinched the night cap by tacking a four-run blast in the seventh inning onto a one run lead. The rally cost Ben Wade his 14th loss. Gene Fodge, helped by Bob Anderson, posted his 13th win. Jake Crawford was the hero of Sacramento's conquest in Seattle. He belted a two run ho mer in the opener which spark ed a four run rally in the fourth inning. Then in the seventh in ning of the second game he singled in the winning run. Watkins Takes Nightcap Earl Harrist stifled the Rain iers with a three-hitter in the seven-inning first game. Bill Brenner, who usually is on the coaching lines, dueled him all the way to get the loss. ' Bud Watkins rescued Cloy Boyer from a six-run assault in the nightcap to be credited with his fifth win. Don Fracchia, der- ricked in the seventh, was the loser. Alex Konkowski made his first start with Portland a good one. He held the Seals to four hits as Luis Marquez drove in two runs for him with a double and a sacrifice fly. R. G. Smith got the loss. Manager Joe Gordon packed two relief pitchers into the last inning of the nightcap to insure Eli Grba, the third of five Seal flingers to. see action, the tri umph. Ray, Shore wildpitched home the winning run in the sixth inning.
