J I o o TEN MEDFORD (OREGOIfl MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. April 24, 1957 Ted Williams Plus Errorless Play Aid Red Sox fin Opening Days of Campaign Br TIM MORIARTY United Presi Sports Writer It figures to be another long summer for Boston Red Sox fens, but at least they were able to rejoice today over Ted Williams' fast getaway and the surprising errorless ball being played by their heroes. Williams hit his second homer of the new campaign Tuesday in leading the Red Sox to a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. He also added a run scoring single the 2,200th hit of his major league career to raise his batting average to .423. However, equally important to all Boston rooters is that the l.ed Sox stand out as the only errorless team in the majors after the first eight days of the qeason. Last year they wound at the bottom of the Ameri can league team fielding aver ages with 169 errors in 155 , fjgmes. Sullivan The Winner In Tuesday's game against the Orioles, the Boston infield handled 35 chances flawlessly. Sacked up by this stout defense and Williams' hitting, Frank Sul iivan easily posted his first vic ory of the season. The towering ight-hander allowed only four Sits, including a ninth inning lomer by George Kell that saved the Orioles from a shut gut. ' While the Red Sox were pro tecting their errorless streak, the Chicago Cubs beat Milwaukee, 3-2 in 10 innings to drop the Braves into a first place tie with the idle Brooklyn Dodgers in the "National league. Dick Littlefield, the third of four Chi cago pitchers, picked up his first victory since being obtained from the New York Giants last week while Lew Burdette was the loser. Herb Score pitched the Cleve land Indians to a four-hit, 5-0 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. The Tribe chased Billy Pierce in the third after piling up seven hits and a 3-0 lead. In avenging his opening day loss to Pierce and the White Sox, Score struck out seven and only talked tw0- Sokie Hurls Three-Hitter The New York Yankees Missed a chance to take over first place from the White Sox Jy dropping a 3-1 decision to Ahe Washington Senators. The Kats tied the score at 1-1 in he eighth and then won, the game on Roy Sievers' two-run, wo-out homer in the ninth off Johnny Kucks. A similar last inning clout by Lou Skizas carried the Kansas City Athletics to a 5-4 squeaker MEDFORDw&.TRIBUNE L via i 4 THREE IN A ROW Frankie Laine plants a $237,65 kiss on Gene Littler's cheek, while Mrs. Laine does the same (left), after the golfer won the Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club in Las Vegas for the third straight year. Laine has bought Littler's Calcutta Pool number each year and collected over s quarter of million for his faith" in the golfer. Littler won the tourney pot of $10,000 with a 285 total over the Detroit Tigers. Harry Simpson and Bob Serv also hom ered for the A"s off rookie Don Lee, who was making his major league debut. Rewarded with a surprise starting assignment by manager Bill Rigney, rookie Pete Burn side showed his appreciation by hurling the Giants to a three hit, 1-0 victory over the Pitts burgh Pirates. A double by Willie Mays and Hank Sauer's single in the fourth inning proved the difference. Pinch-hitter Bob Thurman's two-run homer in the 10th in ning gave the Cincinnati Red legs a 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a night game. Frank Robinson and George Crowe also homered for the Redlegs. LINESCORES: American League Baltimore 000 000 001 1 4 0 Boston 100 020 OOx 3 9 0 Loe. Ferrarese (8) and Ginsberg. F.

SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED OLDSMOBILE QUALITY DEALER Harry Dorish Records Third Victory in PCL Flanagan Picked To Beat Gavilan St. Paul, Minn. !U.PJ Del Flanagan was a 2-1 favorite to beat former welterweight cham pion Kid Gavilan in their 10 round bout here tonight. Both fighters wound up drills Tuesday at 140 pounds as called for in the contracts. By DON THACKERY Harry Dorish, the 35-year-old plumber who has been pitching for the Boston Red Sox, did not leave his tools behind when he moved out to the Pacific Coast league. Dorish, strictly a reliever in recent years, has started three games for the San Francisco Seals and he has finished what he started each time. As the re sult he is the only PCL hurler with a 3-0 record. And in addi tion, Dorish has given up only one earned run this year for a 0.33 earned run average. Tuesday night Dorish pitched the Seals to within a game of the top of the pile when he beat Vancouver 3-1. In other action Seattle scored a. run in the ninth to beat San Diego 3-2, while Hollywood got the winning run in the eighth in a 4-3 win over Portland. Sacra mento just got too many runs too often and dumped Los An geles 7-2. The only run Dorish allowed league leading Vancouver Moun ties was an unearned one that tied things up in the sixth in ning. But the Seals also had to have some defensive mishaps to help them win. Two Mountie bobbles in the eighth gave the Seals the winning runs and sent George Bamberger down to de feat. Ray Orteig, Seattle catcher, grounded out after three singles had f illel the bases in the top of the ninth to allow Jim Dyck to score the winning run against the Padres.. Bill Kennedy took the. win and Dolan Nichols, the third San Diego pitcher, was the loser. Carlos Bernier, shifted from the outfield to third base, came through with three singles for the Hollywood Stars as they ; broke a five-game losing streak at the expense of Portland. The final one of the singles drove home the run that broke ! a 3-3 tie in the eighth and let reliever Ben Wade take the de cision from Bob Anderson, the fourth Portland pitcher. It was the first game this year in which publicized rookie Dick Stuart had not registered a strikeout for Hollywood. Cloyd Boyer did the pitching and the batting' for Sacramento as Los Angeles took it on the chin. Boyer allowed only five hits and was in trouble in only one inning. That was the frame in which Jim Baxes cracked a home run with a mate on base. Jerry Streeter also had a two run homer but Boyer's bat ac counted for three runs as he hit a double, triple and single in his own cause.
