EIGHT MEDF( (ORON) ike Hatches lot Sox Pitcher Skin Home Town Senators in Three-Hitter By UNiTED RESS President Eisenhower picked a fine night to watch a ball game and he wound up joining in the praise of the "hottest" pitcher in the majors at the moment Dick Donovan of the Chicago While Sox. The President, making his first mid-season appearance at a baseball game Tuesday night since last Aug. 31. commented ap preciatively to aides on Donovan's brilliant three-hit pitching as the White Sox righthander beat the Senators. 7-1. Donovan, who didn't walk a batter in breezing to his 11th victory, has given up total of eight hits in his last three games. Not only did the President witness some fine pitching, but also some long ball clouting as Larry Doby and Minnie Minoso each walloped a pair of homers to keep the White Sox within three games of first place. Roy Sievers, who collected two of Washington's hits, also hom ered.

Southpaw Whitey Ford wasn't nearly at his best, giving up 13 hits, includ ing a homer by Billy Martin, but he hung in there for the distance ' to post his sixth triumph. Yogi Berra's third inning hom er against the Kansas City Ath letics Tuesday was the New York Yankees' 100th of the sea- son. end it marked the 34th year they have totaled at least 100 homers.

Xd Phone SP 3"4564 SP" BldS- Medford wood squad took on Portland, defeating the Beavers in both ends of a doubleheader 5-0 in the seven inning opener, and 6-5 in the nightcap. In the first, George Witt got his 15th win this season against four losses while allowing the Beavers only three hits. Darrell Martin, the Portland starter who gave away four runs in the third frame, got the loss. He is now 0-4. Leo Rodriguez hit a welcome but unnecessary homer for Hollywood in the sixth frame. Portland started fast in the second, collecting four runs in the first three innings. But the Stars went home run wild with round-trippers by Jim Baumer, Bill Causion and Joe Duhem to forge into the lead. Other Games In other games, San Francisco lost its first extra inning game of the season to Vancouver, 3-2, while Los Angeles smashed Sac ramento, 8-3, and San Diego slipped by Seattle, 7-6. The Seals suffered their loss as a result ot a 10th inning homer by Kal Segrist that spell ed the tie breaking tally. San Francisco got one eacn in the first two frames and tried to coast on that. Then the Mounties came through with the tying runs in the eighth. Jack Spring, 6-5, went the distance, and lost. Reliefer Sandy Consuegra, 3-0, was cred ited with the win. The story was similar in Sac ramento. The Solons tied it up three-all in the bottom of the sixth and then the unpredictable Angels let go with five runs in the eighth. Grand Slam Homer Four of those came off the bat of Bob Jenkins who hit the ball somewhere out in space with the bases loaded. Vito Val entinetti got his fifth win against three losses. Loser Mar shall Bridges is now 7-10. The San Diego Padres showed that they also are not adverse to coming from behind if it means winning. The Rainiers had a 6-5 edge going into the ninth frame when reliefer-loser Gene Hayden (3-5), permitted two singles and a walk and the tying run. Then Larry Jan sen stepped to the mound giving up one hit, a single to Phil Moran that brought in the game winner. Vic Lombardi collected his fourth win against one loss in relief.
