Wo iams Sprouts To IKIeBp Ked Sox Bounce Washington SPORTS BY MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Ted Williams will, be 40 by the end of the month and quite possibly the American league batting champ again by the end of September. Williams, more or less lying back in the weeds all season, suddenly is sprouting a full blown .311 average only 24 points below the .335 figure of Boston teammate Pete Run nels, who leads the circuit. Ted's current mark is a far cry from the .388 mark he led the league with last year, but before the season started he promised he'd hit "around .340" and he generally comes pretty close to the mark. He could make it the way he's hitting now. He blasted his 20th homer and a single to drive in three runs Thurs day and help the Red Sox beat the Senators, 8-4, for their fifth straight victory. His homer was nothing to spit at either. It traveled ap proximately 500 feet and landed about 30 rows up in the right field bleachers. Roy Sievers belted his 31st homer and Jim Lemon his 23rd for Washington, both blows com ing off Frank Sullivan, who hurled an eight-hitter for his ninth victory. It was the only game sched uled in the American league. Braves Increase Lead The Milwaukee Braves stretched their National league lead to seven games with a 3-2 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates, while St. Louis crushed San Francisco, 12-1; Philadelphia edged Cin-l cinnati, 3-2, and Los Angeles defeated Chicago, 3-1. Southpaw Warren Spahn, shooting for a 20-game season for the eighth time in his ca reer, limited the Pirates to seven hits in chalking up his 15th victory. Bob Friend blanked the Braves until the seventh when they scored all their runs with the aid of Eddie Mathew's two-run homer. Sam Jones scored his ninth victory with a four-hit effort against the Giants while the Cards were pounding out 13 hits, including a home run by Wally Moon. The Giants com mitted four errors. Out Of Race It marked the ninth loss for the Giants in thier last 10 games and virtually finished them as far as pennant conten tion is concerned. Don Cardwell recalled from the minors not so long ago, scored his first victory of the year for the Phillies with a nine-hit effort against the Redlegs. The victory moved the Phillies into the first di vision for the first time since Eddie Sawyer . took over as manager from Mayo Smith on July 22. ! Sandy Koufax of the Dodg ers struck out 10 Cub batters and was credited with his ninth win although he needed help from Johnny Klippstein in the ninth. Klippstein took over with two on and one out, and after rain caused a 20 minute delay he got Lee Walls to hit into a game-ending dou ble play. The Dodgers scored Rodgers Provide Spark as Phoenix Giants Clip Suds By GENE BRYANT ' United Press International Andre . Rodgers, a former cricket player from the Ba hamas, belted his 29th home run of the year and took part in four of five Phoenix double-plays Thursday to lead the front-running Giants to a 9-4 win over Seattle. The Pacific Coast league's top hitter, although he played his first baseball game only four years ago, Rodgers came up with a two-run blast in the third inning, then spearhead ed the tight Phoenix defense through the first seven frames. The Rainiers broke through for two runs in each of the last two innings but relief pitcher Joe Margoneri came in to put out the fire. Bobby Prescott ' slammed his homer for the winners, while Willie McCovey con nected for his 11th. Eddie Ba sinski homered for Seattle. Vancouver Slips Back Second -place Vancouver split a pair with Portland to dip a full game behind the Giants. The Mounties coasted to a 5-1 victory behind George. Bamberger's six-hit pitching in the seven-inning opener, but dropped the nightcap, 6-3, as the Beavers came up with three runs in both the fifth and sixth innings. Jack Spring, who made his professional start in Spokane, turned in a brilliant PCL de but at the eastern Washington city Thursday as he held the hometown Indians to only three safeties while pitching San Diego to a 5-0 win. Spring allowed only one Spokane runner to reach as far as third base, while striking out four and giving up three walks. Salt Lake withstood a Sac; ramento upsurge in the late innings to shade the Solons, 6-5, in the other PCL game. Jim McDaniels led the Bees with a two-run triple and a solo homer in the sixth, his 22nd of the season. Bamberger Nears Record Bamberger's victory in the first game at Portland was his seventh straight, giving him 13 wins against seven de feats. The Mountie right hander also ran his 'consecu tive walkless innings to 54, ten short of the PCL record set by Julio Bonetti of Los Angeles in 1939. George Freese hit his 25th homer for the only run off Bamberger. In the second tilt, reliever Ed Mayer limited the Can adians to only four hits from the second frame until the ninth, when Bob Garber came in to retire the side after Mayer grew wild. The Bea vers collected nine belts to Vancouver's eight. Spring had it all his own way at Spokane as his team mates ripped into four Indian pitchers for 11 hits. The Padres scored twice in the third, then added three more in the .fifth while Spring throttled Spokane at the plate. a pair of unearned runs on Alvin Dark's fifth inning error.
