TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) HY Homers Too iuch for Basinski Leads Bevos to 'Jinx' Halts Mantle In Homer Drive By UNITED PRESS The ''Baltimore jinx" hound ed Mickey Mantle again Satur day but teammates Bill Skow ron, Billy Martin and Cil Mc Dousald hit home runs to lead the New York Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Orioles in the first game of a day-night doubleheader. Mantle, who hasn't hit a hom er at Baltimore's sprawling Me morial stadium this season, went hitless against the combined slants of Skinny Brown and George Zuverink. However, his hefty .bat wasn't even needed as the Yankees picked up a run in the second inning on singles by Joe Collins and Hank Bauer, plus a .neat squeeze bunt by Gerry Coleman. Skowron Homers Skowron then led off the fourth with his 19th homer, Martin added his in the fifth and McDougald connected in the ninth. Tom Studidvant, mean while, limited the Orioles to six hits and missed a shutout on a second inning homer by Bob Kieman. The Washington Senators scored two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 9-7, for the 11th in 15 meet ings this season. Ted Williams and Ted Lcpcio each hit two homers for the Red Sox but they weren't enough to fight off the Nats, who probably would be battling for the pennant if they played Boston every day. With the score tied at 7-7 in the ninth Washington loaded the bases on a walk, a single by Jose Valdivielso, a iorce out and an error by Red Sox pitcher Ike Delock. Herb Plews' in field hit scored Valdivielso with the winning run and a walk to Pete Runnels forced home the second run. Wynn Gets Victory Larry Doby's double in the eighth inning knocked in the winning run as the Chicago White Sox edged the Detroit Tigers. 2-1. Bob Kecgan allow ed only five hits for the White Sox, who now have won 10 of their last 12 games. Paul Foy tack was the losing pitcher. Early Wynn registered his 14th victory of the season as the Cleveland Indians routed the Kansas City Athletics. 8-1. Wynn held the A s to six hits in seven innings. He left the game vol untarily after the seventh be cause of the excessive heat in Cleveland. In the only National league day game. Dale Long and Jack Shepard each .hit home runs in pacing the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 9-1 triumph over the New York Giants. Bob Friend scat tered nine hits in recording his 14th victory against 12 defeats. He lost a shutout in the second inning when Bill White singled, stole second and scored on Fos ter Castleman's single.

Program Paying Olympic Women Philadelphia tU.R) There was little doubt Saturday that the AAU'S junior Olympic de velopment program is paying dividends in U. S. women's track and field stars. Backers of the program had only to point to the six meet records and one new American standard established Friday in the National AAU girls' cham pionships here at Franklin field. One of the top prospects is Pamela Kurrell, 17-year old San Francisco high school student, who staged the greatest one-girl performance in the history of the meet. Her most outstanding feat in a triple-win effort was the 139 feet, one inch toss in the discus, which smashed all American marks. The old standard of 137 foet. 3' 4 inches was set back in 1932 at Chicago by J. Wajsonwa of Poland.
