Haddix, a slight 170-pounder dubbed "The Kitten," tied up the muscular Cincinnati Rpdlfgs in knots to give the Phillies a 3-1 victory Tuesday night while Pierce, who scales about 165 pounds, fired a two-hitter that enabled the White Sox to shade ;b Boston Fed Sox, 1-0, in 10 innings. Haddix' victory moved the riarkhorse Phillies to within a game and a half of the first place Redlegs in the .National le?.iie race and Pierce's triumph maintained the White Sox' five game bulge over the New York Yankees in the American league chase. Haddix shut out the P.edlcgs with one hit for seven innings and yielded their only run in the eighth on Ed Bailey's triple and Don Hoak . sacrifice fly. Ed Bouchee singled home Philadel phia's first nin in the first in ning and the Phillies added two in the second on an error. Chico Fernandez' triple and Haddix' sacrifif fly. The loss was the first or the year in the East for the Redlegs. who swept all II games they played on their first invasion. Pierce Win No. 9 Pierce struck out seven nd Baft' U-0rive Moefferel Airport ' didi't walk a batter in posting I his sixth straight victory and , ninth of tlie year. Nellie Fox i singled with the bases filled and lone out in the 10th to break up ! the game and hand relief pitcher ' Ike Delock his fifth defeat, j Pierce now leads the majors ' with nine wins. 64 strikeouts and ha., allowed only one earned run in 33 innings. The Brooklyn Dodgers downed the Chicago Cubs, 7-5, and took I over third place when the New i York Giants shaded the Milwau kee Braves, 8-7, in 13 innings. The Pittsburgh Pirates edged the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-4, in the other National Leage game. The Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians, the Washing ton Senators beat the Detroit Tigers. 4-3. and the Baltimore Orioles scored a 9-7 win over the Kansas City A s in other Amer ican League activity. S'mdy Koufax struck out 12 baiters in 7 2 3 innings but needed relief aid from Clem La bine to nail down the Dodger victory. A two-run double by Roy Campanella and Duke Sni ders' 10th homer helped the Dodgers pileup an early 6-0 lead against Dick Drott before Kou fax weakened. Dusty Rhodes singled home Valmy Thomas in the 13th in ning with the run that snapped a three-game Giant losing streak in a battle of homers with the Braves. Willie Mays and Red Schoendienst homered for New lork while Frank Torre, Hank Aaron, Carl Sawatski and Del Crandall hit homers for the Braves, who dropped into fourth place. Dee Fondy's third hit of the night raised his league-leading average to .375 and gave the Pirates their fourth straight win. Stan Musial walloped the 362nd homer of his career for St. Louis and now ranks seventh in the all-time homer derby. I Bob Grim's 3 2-3-innings of shutout relief pitching preserved Tom Sturdivant's fourth win I after the Yankees routed Bud j Daley and piled up an early 6-1 lead. Mickey Mantle had three hits to lead New York's 12-hit i attack. Clint Courtney's seventh-inning homer provided the Sena tors with their winning run and dealt Duke Maas his third de feat. Jim Lemon and Rocky Bridges also homered for Wash ington while Ray Boone blasted a homer for the Tigers. George Kell's third hit of the game and the 2,000th of his ca reer capped a three-run Baltimore ninth-inning against Kansas City. Shortstop Billy Hunter's error let in the tie-breaking run and Kell followed with a two run single that clinched matters. The veteran third-baseman is the seventh active player to reach the 2,000-hit mark. I'M- & m Am BEST U. S.

Bats Swing Hard in NWL On Tuesday By UNITED PRESS Northwest league pitchers had a rough night on the mound Tu esday niijht as the six teams converted a whopping total of 85 hits into 76 runs. Highest scoring affair was the 17-10 Salem conquest of Yakima on the Senators' home field. The Tri-City-Eugene match was call ed at the end of 15 inninE? with the score tied 13-13. It will be continued on the Braves' field prior to tonight's game. The remaining slugging match saw Wenatchee and Lewiston picking up a total of 31 hits with the Chiefs finally icing it, 16-17 at Lewiston. The Senators toppled mighty Yakima on a wide-open fourth inning in which Salem sent 18 men to the plate for 13 runs. They held the Bears scoreless for four innings while piling up a 16-run bulge. In the Salem fourth, it was Jack Dunn and Karl Keuhl with two runs each and a three-sacker by Bob Camp bell that provided the punch. Midnight Curfew Big Yakima guns were Herm Lewis, two for four, Mike Cup- pola. two for five, and Whitey Phillips, two for four. Called because of a midnight curfew, the Eugene-Tri-City af fair went into extra innings when Tri-City's Martin leaned into a 400-foot homer in the bot tom of the ninth to tie it up at 12 all. Each squad picked up another run in the 14th before the scor ing ended. Tri-City's Ellis Bur ton got a two-run homer in the third, his 11th of the season, and teammate Ken Meyer claimed another for two runs in the sixth. Eugen's Dan Holden, sold by the Braves earlier this year, hit a two-run homer for the Emer alds in the seventh.

ROGUE VALLEY LAND CO. 704 West 6th Street Phone SP 3-3641 NYs Mayor Gets Little Satisfaction New York IP Although he has promised to "expedite" all plans aimed at keeping the Dodgers and Giants in New York, Mayor Robert F. Wagner today virtually conceded his showdown meeting with offic ials of both teams was a flop. "There was nothing to en courage us," Wagner said after holding a 75-minute conclave Tuesday with Walter O'Malley. president of the Dodgers, and Giant prexy Horacq.Stoneham. The object of the meeting was to determine if New York's two National league teams had de finitely committed themselves to a westward movement that by next year could find the Dodgers playing in Los Angeles and the Giants performing in San Francisco. It tourned out to be a no-hit, no-run, no-commitment standoff. Wagner said that O'Malley and Stoneham told him during their closed-door conference that i they had "no commitments to , move." "They also said they have no commitments to stay here," the Mayor added. Despite the fact the National League already has approved a transfer of the Dodgers and Giants to California, if they move together. Wagner had scheduled additional conferenc es with O'Malley and Stoneham this summer in the hope of talk ing them out of such a switch.
