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

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

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.

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.
