southpaw who Is chiefly respon
sible for keeping the Chicago
White Sox' jwnnant hopes alive,
is the majors first 15-game win
ner of the season today and may
wind up the American League's
first 25-game winner since 1949.
Pierce, who is Cffftain he
won't down in the latter
stages of the campaign as he
did last year, hurled his fourth
shutout and advanced the White
Fox to within three games of
the idle New .York Yankees
Monday night with a 5-0 tri
umph over the Baltimore
Orioles.
Pierce didn't walk any and
struck out six batters as he
faced only 30 batters over the
nine-inning distance. The White
Sox broke the scoreless duel
with Hal Brown in the sixth
inning with three runs two on
a single by Luis Aparicio and
added single runs in the seventh
and ninth.
Braves Stay on Top
The victory was the hustling
White Sox' seventh in 10 games
since July 13. During the same
period, the Yankees have man
aged to win only four of 10
games and now have fallen
bffck to within striking range
of a team that was being count
ed out of the race two weeks
ago.
Tom Brewer notched his 13th
victory of the season as the Bos-
tnn Red Sox beat the Cleveland
"Indians. 6-2, in the only other
American League game. The
Milwaukee Braves retained their
half-game lead in the madcap
Nation?! League scramble via
a 10-iiining, 9-8 verdict over the
New York Giants, the St. Louis
Cardinals downed the Pittsburgh
Pirates. 4-0. and the Philadel
phia Phillies whipped the Chi
cago Cubs. 6-0, in other games.
Ted Williams collected a sin
gle and a double in three tries
to rai;e his league-leading aver
age ?-. .37!) and help the Red
Sox -vin their ninth game in
fheir last 12 starts. Brewer
struck out nine behind a 12-hit
attack that also included a hom
,r by Ted Lepcio and a two-run
single by Jackie Jensen. Mike
Garcia suffered his seventh loss.
Winning Run Forced In
Relief pitcher Al Worthington
walked Felix Mantilla with the
baser, filled in the 10th inning
to present the Braves with the
'run that ennbled them to hold
first place. The Braves had ral
lied for four runs in the last of
the ninth to tie the score at 8-8
and filled the bases in the 10th
en two walks sandwiched around
a single by Del Crandall. Wes
Covington and Del Crandall
homered for Milwaukee while
Willie Mays. Daryl Spencer and
Ray Jablonski hit homers for
New York.
Vinegar Bend Mizell, the Car
dinals' No. 1 disappointment
most of the season, yielded only
two hits both in the fourth in--iirn
in winning his fourth de
cision. Wally Moon, who stretch
ed his hitting streak to 15 games,
singled home the Redbirds' first
run and scored their second
against rookie Charlie Douglas,
who yielded only five hits but
walked seven in five innings.
Robin Roberts scored his sec
ond straight victory and eighth
of the year compared to 13 de
feats with a four-hitter that
marked the Phillies' 13th win
in 18 games with the Cubs.
Harry Anderson drove in two
runs with three singles and Joe
Lonnett homered to spark the
Phillies' attack.
