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.

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-

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.

Green singled in the frame.
There were three walks and an
error. Drew hit two for four and
Green two for three for CW and
Hank Tygart and Jim Zimmer

Ashland had to forfeit because
it was short one player. How
