0 Ted; Williams Hits 2 Homers, Drives in 7 Runs for Boston In 11-8 Victory Over Tigers By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Hallelujah, Ted Williams has stopped spittin and start ed hittin'! The colorful, 39-year-old Boston slugger really put on s a batting show Tuesday night, and vhen it was all over he had driven in seven runs, tied one of Babe Ruth's records and powered the Red Sox to an 11-8 victory over the Ti gers in 11 innings. Williams tied Ruth's record when he smashed the 17th grandslam homer of his car eer in the third inning and then won the ball game when he hit his 17th homer of the year with two on in the 11th. The brilliant performance tickled Thumpin' Ted for ' a number of reasons. Primarily,- Williams was happy about pelting his grand slammer "off Jim Bunning, who pitched a no - hitter against the Red Sox on July 20 and nailed it down by re tiring Ted for the last out. And secondly, his blow earned .Williams tremendous cheers from the fans in De troit. where he has always been a prime favorite. Those cheers were in mark ed contrast to the boos he re ceived in Kansas City last week. He showed KC fans his "appreciation" of their Bronx cheers by spitting in their di rection and subsequently' was fined $250 by the .American league. Even though Williams' big grand slam homer tied the Bambino's record, it still left him six behind Lou Gehrig's major league record. Ford's String Broken Kansas City put an end to Whitey Ford's string of shut outs' and then raked reliever Art Ditmar for five runs in the eighth inning to beat the Yankees, 3. Ford was shooting for his fourth straight shutout but the A's got to him for single runs in the second and fourth Innings to go ahead, 2-0. After the Yanks tied the score in the top of the eighth, Ditmar came in and. -walked Bob Cerv with the bases full to force in the tie-breaking run. Hector Lopez then cleared the bases with a three-run double. Sherra Lollar's two - run homer with two out in the ninth inning gaveythe White Sox a 2-1 decision over the lienators. Russ Kemmerer (blanked the White Sox on three hits until the ninth when Nellie Fox beat oufc a hit and Lollar connected for his 15th homer. Rookie Gary Bell of Cleve land scattered eight hits to beat Baltimore, 9-4, . for his fifth victory. Billy Harrell and Russ Nixon each homered off loser Milt Pappas in a three-run first inning and Rocky Colavito's two - run single highlighted another three-run rally by the Indians in the fifth. Giants In Lead In the National league, the San Francisco Giants moved into the lead by a full game with a 4-3 victory over Cin cinnati. It was onee of those patented Giant finishes, Ray Jablonski homering with one on and two out in the ninth. That marked the 18th game the Giants have won in the ninth inning so far this sea Jablonski's homer came off Willard Schmidt after Willie Mays had singled. Dick Stuart's three-run triple in the fifth inning pac ed Pittsburgh to a 6-4 triumph over Chicago. Bob Friend reg istered his 13th victory al though he pitched only the first five innings. The Los Angeles Dodgers dropped the Milwaukee Braves into second place by beating them, 4-2, behind the combined pitching of Don Drysdale and Johnny Klipp stein. Drysdale, credited with his fifth victory, went 8 1-3 innings before he got into trouble in the ninth when Wes Covington led off with his 18th homer. After Frank Tor re, singled, Klippstein throt tled the rally by retiring the side. Wally Post's pinch double in the 11th inning gave the Phillies a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals in a regulation game after St. Louis won a suspended game from June 29, 4-3..
