Haddix Shines For Phillies;
Fierce For Chlsox in Majors
By FHED DOWN
United Prm Sport Writer
Harvoy Haddix and Billy
Pierce are two of the smallest
pitrherf in the majors hut they
may be worth their weight in
World Series B'jH to the Phila
delphia Phillies and Chicago
White Sox.
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.

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.

The in-and-out San Francisco
Seals who have been alternating
almost regularly with Vancou
ver in the Pacific Coast league
lead, leapfrogged over the idle
Mounties Tuesday night with a
6-5 win over Hollywood.
By winning while Vancouver
rested, the Seals took a one-half
game lead in the see-saw battle
for the loop's leadership.
In other games, Sacramento
blanked San Diego, 6-0, and Se
attle edged Los Angeles, 4-3.
Vancouver and Portland begin
their series tonight at Portland.
It was Sal Taormina's pinch
hit single in the top of the ninth
that broke a 5-5 deadlock with
the Stars at Gilmore Field. He
drove home Nini Tornay, who
had singled, to give the Seals
their eighth win in nine games
in a battle that saw five homers
hit. two by the Seals' Bill Renna.
Leo Kiley, second of three San
Francisco hurlers, picked up his
sixth win against two losses,
while reliefer Chuck Churn took
his second loss against a single
win.
Seattle displaced San Diego in
fifth place as they squeezed by
Los Angeles at home while San
Diego was shut out on the road
against Sacramento.
Fast Start
The Rainiers opened with a
rush, scoring all four runs and
collecting eight of their 10 hits
in the .first three innings, then
stood off repeated Angel threats
in the late frames. Charlie Rabe,
who relieved starter Red Mun
ger in the third after the latter
bruised an index finger while
attempting to bunt, got the win.
Dick Hanlon took the loss for
the visitors.

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.
