His name is Walt Dropo. and chances are you'e heard of him because th"y were comparing him with Jirnmie i'ox and Hnk Greenberg when he first irrived In the majors way back in l4a. Somehow he never quite made it "big." however, and ith the White Sox h via low man on tl tO'ern n,le arror.j three nther first basemen this spring But Tuesday night it was his two-mo hon er in the seventh lnnirf that broke up 8 scoreless pitching duel between Bob Kee gm and Dave Sisler and gave Tii White Sox a 2-1 victory over the Red Sox tht enabled them to take over the Ameri can league lead again from the Yankees by half a game. In way, it was vindication for the 6-i:oot-5 Dropo, who has been forced to eit around this season while Jim Rivera, Dave Philley and Earl Torgeson were given a shot at the first base job. The home run was his ninth f the season, one more than he hit all last year. . Botox Streak Snapped I Keean held the Bed Sox to six hits in snapping their six-j ! game winning s'.reak. ' ! Cleveland registered its fourth I victory in a row by crushing the ! Yankees. 11-2. Baltimore hand ! ed Kansas City its sixth straight j defeat, 5-0 and Detroit rallied j for three runs in the 10th in ! nine to defeat Washington, 7-4. I Cincinnati climbed into a vir tual tie for the National league lead with the idle Cardinals by beating the Giants. 3-2; Brook lyn blanded Milwaukee. 2-0, and Chicago climbed out of the cel lar with a 5-3 triumph over Pittsburgh. Southpaw Don Mossi checked the Yankees on eight hits while his teammates collected 12, in cluding a two-run homer by Russ Nixon and a grand slam wallop by Rocky Colavito. Mossi held the Yanks at bay in every inning but the second when Andy Carey hit a two-run hom er. Tom Sturdivant was the loser. Ex-Dodger Billy Loes came through with a brilliant three hit effort for the Orioles, retir ing the first 16 batters in order. It was Locs' eighth victory against three defeats. Bob Boyd raised his batting average to .350 with three hits for Baltimore. Reliever Harry Byrd. just brought up from the minors, was credited with the Tigers' vic tory when they hammered Tru Clevencer for three runs in the 10th. Eill Tuttle drove in the tie - breaking run. Teammate Charlie Maxwell hit two hom ers. Klu Spells Difference Ted Kluszewski's pinch single off Red Worthington with the bases full and two out in the ninth boosted the Redlegs to within five percentage points of the Cardinals. Brooks Lawrence gave up only four hits, including a homer to Danny O'Connell, in registering his eighth victory. Until the ninth. Cincinnati's only two runs off Giant starter Ray Crone were the result of home runs by Smoky Burgess in the second inning and the fourth. Duke Snider's 15th homer in the first inning was all the margin rookie Danny McDevit. of the Dodgers needed to beat Lew Burdette. Both pitchers gave up only four hits, the Dodg ers adding an insurance run in the ninth on Snider's single. ! Johnny Logan s error and a i single by Gino Cimoli. j Jack Littrell's two-run homer I in the second inning put the ! Cubs in front of the Pirates to ; stay and Dale Long and Walt Moryn followed with circuit blows for Chicago. All three homers came at the expense cf Bob Friend, who suffered his seventh defeat. Reliever Dave Hiliman was the winning pitch er as the Cubs took over seventh place by eight percentage points over the Pirates.

"This new device." he said, will make the jet 100 per cent more efficient. She will be a ter rific competition boat.' Jones said work on the jet hy droplane had been "extremely slow." He had planned to have her operating by the end of this summer, but now said he hoped to have the craft in the water by the end of this year or early next year. 300 mph Possible Jones said the boat might reach speeds of 300 miles an hour and the man he has picked to drive this waterbug is, natur ally, Col. Russ Schleeh, the jet pilot from Castle Air Force Base near Merced, Calif. Jones' jet will be 34 feet long and 13 feet at the beam. She will be a three-point type, touching the water only in three places at high speed, but the sponsors will ride on outriggers away from the hull. The driver probably will sit forward of the engine in a plas tic bubble about 10 feet aft of the bow. The jet engine will be 14 feet in length and present plans call for a 6,200-pound thrust. Jones declined to elaborate on the new equipment which he said would make the jet hydro plane a feasible racing boat. never offered before!
