Yanks 5 Golden Stir Limp to Chicago, Offer Sox Opportunity to Close Gap By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees, bad ly mauled by that vicious De troit Tiger, came stumbling into Chicago tonight to give the White Sox their golden oppor tunity of 1957. If the Yankees ever were ready to be "taken" they are now. Their 5-2 drubbing by the Ti gers Monday, thanks to Al Ka line's three-rin homer, was their fifth loss in the last seven games; their league lead over the Sox now is down to 3'.i games lowest point since Aug. 1; and their pitching isn't ready for the big three-game series opening under the Chicago arcs tonight. Instead of having an Allie Reynolds ready to hurl, man ager Casey Stengel is calling Art Ditmar, last year th? los ingest pitcher in the league, out of the bullpen to face either Jim Wilson or Gerry Staley. Out of action are ace lefties Whijtey Ford and Bobby Shantz and the rest of the Yanks mound corps is wobbling. Six-Game Streak ine wnne box, riding a six- game winning streak, were idle Monday while the Tigers were beating the Yankees for the sec ond straight day. Mickey Mantle slugged his 33rd homer in the first inning with a mate aboard to put New York ahead, 2-0, but Frank Lary shut out the league leaders the rest of the way. Kaline slammed his 17th hom er of the year in the first inning with two on to put Detroit ahead to stay and give him 13 runs-batted-in during the last four games. Harvey Kuenn singled home another Tiger run in the second and Charley Maxwell's sacrifice fly delivered the final tally in the fifth. If the White Sox can sweep all three games in the series starting tonight, they will still be a half-game behind the Yan kees. But they'll be all even in the only place baseball men say is important the lost col umn. The Milwaukee Braves' head long rush toward the Nation al league pennant was slowed on Monday night when they dror ped a 4-3 decision to the Phil lies, cutting their lead to seven games over idle St. Louis and Brooklyn. Braves Rally The Braves rallied from a 3-1 deficit to tie the score with two unearned runs in the eighth in ning with the help of Chico Fernandez' error. But the Phils loaded the bases against reliev er Ernie Johnson with one out in the ninth and then pinch-hit ter Ron Noi-they singled to score Ted Kazanski with the winning run. Rookie Dick Far- rell was the winner in relief. In the only other games sched uled Monday, the New York Giants trounced the Cincinnati Redlegs, 17-3, and the Boston Red Sox crushed Kansas City, 16-0. Home runs by Danny O'Con- nell and Hank Sauer led the Giants' 19-hit attack as they handed the Redlegs their 13th loss in the last 14 games. A 10-run seventh inning fea tured the Red Sox' win with four homers in that big frame by Frank Malzone, Norm Zau- chin, Ted Lepcio, and Jimmy Piersall. Malzone hit another homer, plus a double and MEDFORD&eTlUBUNK IPdDIBTTS Mounties Get Hand From Lowly Solons STANDINGS By UNITED PRESS NATIONAt. I.EAGLT. Milwaukee St. Louis .

H. E. Mackie Building inspector I Calhoun Wins In Savage Ten Rounds San Francisco HP) Rory Calhotm, a fast-punching middle weight with ambitions that in clude the world championship, is ready for Gene Fullmer,' Charles Humez or Joey Giardello. "I'll take on any of them now for the right to a shot at the title," said Calhoun after whip ping third-ranked Joey Giambra Monday night in one of the most savage brawls ever staged in the Cow Palace. "I'll rest for a couple of months to let this cut on my cheek heal," said Calhoun, "but then I'm ready for ihem all." -Monday night's encounter was one of the tougher ones Rory has had since he became a headliner. His big round was the fourth when he stunned Giambra, a 2-1 favorite, with a right and then pummeled him around the ring at wilr. ' Giambra came back to make it ! an even battle going into the ninth. Then Calhoun unleashed a series of combination punches that featured a jab and then an uppercut which landed with sick ening regularity. "I just hadn't prepared for a defense for those uppercuts," said Giambra,' "and that was the difference. Guess I'll rest up a couple of months before going into the ring again." ' Referee Jack Downing and Judge Frankie Carter . had a 97-93 for the winner, with Judge Jack Silver, 96-95. United Press had ib 97-94. In the middle rounds, the battling became so vicious that the rjeferee had to warn the war riors. Calhoun hit Giambra after the bell, Joey used his thumbs in Rory's eyes, and then Giambra spun and hit Calhoun. There was continued butting by both fighters. , ' "But it wasn't a dirty fight," said Calhoun. "I've had tougher ones in the preliminaries. Calhoun weighed 158'2, Gi ambra 160. - place, 7 i games out, by blank ing San Diego 3-0. Portland and Seattle were idle. Two-Hitter Palica pitched a two-hitter one a home run by big Steve Bilko - and was backed by a 15-hit attack against three An gel hurlers. Bilko hit his 50th home run of the season in the second to give the Angels a 1-0 lead. But then Owen Friend hit a two run blast and the Mounties romped from there. Bud Watkins held San Fran cisco to six hits, but four Seal double plays nullified many of the 11 Sacramento hits until the seventh when Al Heist broke a l-l title by singling home Harry Bright. Fourth Win It was only the fourth win of the season in 19 tries for the Solons against the Seals. Harry Dorish was the San Francisco loser. George Witt of Hollywood white-washed San Diego on a four-hitter to break a third place tie. Witt walked none and fanned eight as he got his 16th victory of the season. Tony Bartirome tripled with two Stars on base in the third inning to give Witt all the coun ters he needed, Paul Pettit came through with an insurance run by homering in the eighth. The loss went to Jim (Mudcat) Grant, who allowed only five hits. Philadelphia Cincinnati New York Chicago Pittsburgh . 76 . 69 70 63 62 61 48 46 L. 47 54 55 61 62 67 73 76 Pet.'

The big Cincinnati first base man is only a part-time perform er now because of a slipped disc in his spine but he says he isn't ready to hang up his mitt yet. "Maybe I'll undergo an opera tion this winter," he said. "J haven't really decided what I'll do about the back. But I'm not going to quit baseball. My back still bothers me although it isn't nearly as bad as it was during triA enrino " Kluszewski, who will be 33 next month, . takes numerous pills every day to keep the pain in his back from becoming un bearable. "Those pills are the things that keep me going," said the muscular Redleg veteran, who was once among the most feared sluggers in the National League.

Dodger President Walter O'Malley made the offer Mon day at a special meeting with Deputy Mayor John J. Theobald and other officials. The offer boiled down to this: Forget about building a city owned sports arena in Brooklyn. Just condemn the land there; sell it to us at a "common sense" price; and we'll build our own ball park. Immedimate official reaction was mixed. One official declar ed that O'Malley's move made things look brighter in our plan to keep the Dodgers here."

Milw 120 492 Robinson, Cin. ..120 469 1 By HAL WOOD San Francisco (IPl Tip to Los Angeles politicians: If you want to get those Dodg ers out there for the 1958 season, follow the line of reasoning used by Mayor George Christo pher when he swung the deal to bring the Giants here. "I thought that if we went at this through political angles," says the mayor, "that it might delay the action. "So I sat down with Horace Stoneham and we talked like two businessmen getting togeth er to work out a deal that would be satisfactory to both of us. "With this type of conversa tion, we cut out a lot of red tape that usually comes up when politics are involved." unristopher, president of a large milk company, is noted as a sound businessman. He not only gave the Giants a good deal, but he arranged so that there will be good money made by the city of San Fran cisco. For instance: Sick May Sue Teams Seattle (IP) Seattle Rai niers' President Emil Sick said Monday he may "face the un happy necessity of suing" if major league baseball invades the West Coast. Sick quoted his lawyers as saying his team would be en titled to damages provided the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers move west. It was the opinion in Seattle that major league owners must come to terms with Pacific Coast League owners according to the rules of organized base ball before a change of fran chises could be approved. Sick said that he still hasn t heard from Walter ' O'Malley, Beavers and Vancouver Mount ies clubs already have indicated they would take court action against the majors' move. Sick, who has guided to Rainiers' fortune for 19 years, said he has more than $1,500,000 invested in the club. The city of San Francisco will Duna .me paric ana that means that the Giants won't have to pay any taxes, ' a very large item. But the city will operate the huge parking lot and the take from that is expected to gross $368,000 per year. The Giants have guaranteed a minimum rental of $125,000; and the city will collect another $25,000 for advertising under neath the stands. That means that the income to the city will be at least more than a half million dollars. Cost $12 Million The stadium will cost about $12,000,000. Of this, the city al ready has a bond issue approved for $5,000,000. The rest wiU be borrowed from the contractor for the stadium,- Charles Harney. It will take 21 years to pay off Harney; and the pay will be started to retire the city bonds. "When they all are paid, we'll have a $12,000,000 stadium at no cost to the people of the city of San Francisco," the mayor points out. This All makes sense: The Giants tand to make millions, at the rate of about $250,000 to $300,000 net per season; and the city of San Francisco stands to make millions at about the same rate. Additionally, the Mayor esti mates that having the Giants in San Francisco will add an extra $40,000,000 to $50,000,000 to the city's economy. So what are they waiting for in Los Angeles. R.

Fight On Again Maybe New York HP) The corned beef sandwiches that felled pro moter Jim Norris may cause a quick announcement that the million - dollar Ray Robinson Carmen Basilio fight is on again.

Middleweight champion Rob inson, who was warned by the N.Y. State Athletic Commission to go through with the fight or risk having his title vacated, said, "I'm hopeful we can settle things today and cheer up Jim; nothing's so important right now as his welfare." Norris, 50, suffered a heart attack seven years ago; and there is an old lesion scar on one of the arteries although electro-cardiograms disclosed no new heart damage. He was stricken by the "acute enteritis" Monday night at the very hour he had been sched uled to preside over a surprise conference at his office in Madi son Square Garden.
