Chisox Gain 6th Straight
Victory; Slumping Yankees
Suffer 4th Defeat in Row
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Piess International
Say now, can the New York
Yankees possibly blow this
American league pennant
after all?
Sounds fantastic, because
the Yankees still have a 10Vz
game lead over the Chicago
White Sox with just 35 games
to go. But it's just an outside
possibility today because the
White Sox are on a winning
streak that now has reached
six games and the Yankees
are on a four -game losing
streak.
Dick Donovan's four-hit
pitching kept the Sox surg
ing Tuesday night with a 7-1
victory over Boston. At New
York, homers by Rocky Cola-
vito and Vic Wertz helped the
Cleveland Indians hand the
Yankees their ninth loss in
the the last 12 games, 8-6.
Happened Before
The greatest flopperoo of
modern times was staged, of
course, by the Brooklyn
Dodgers of 1951. They blew
a 13l-game lead in the last
44 games of the season in a
tailspin that started on Aug.
11 and then lost to the New
York Giants in a three-game
pennant playoff on Bobby
Thomson's historic homer.
New York had a 6-3 lead
until Colavito blasted a three
run homer for the Indians in
the fifth inning, his 28th, to
tie the score. Wertz then won
the game for the Tribe with
Phoenix Continues
Home Field Success
By GENE BRYANT
United Press International
That old baseball maxim
for pennant success break
even on the road, while win
ning at home looked as
sound as the 1939 dollar to
day in the case of the Phoe
nix Giants.
The Arizonans, who have
had the Pacific Coast League's
top spot all to themselves for
the past two weeks, made it
40 wins out of 62 starts at
home Tuesday night by rally
ing for a 6-5 victory over Spo
kane. A three-run burst 4 in
the eight inning put the Giants
ahead to stay and kept them
two full games in front of
second-place San Diego.
Pinch - hitter Joe Amalfi
tano singled home Bill Wil
son with the.tiemg run, then
Don Taussig followed with a
pinch double to score what
proved to be the deciding
tally in the eight-inning up
rising. The Indians, paced by
Jim Gentile's solo home run,
had gone ahead, 4-3,' with a
pair of runs in the top half
of the frame. Glen Gorbous
smacked another solo four
bagger for the Tribe in the
ninth, but relief hurler Joe
Margoneri got the side out to
save the win for Joe Shipley.
Padres Lick Bees
San Diego stayed hot on
the heels of the Giants with

a 7-2 victory over Salt Lake's
foundering Bees, but third
place Vancouver fell four
games off the pace by drop
ping a 6-5 decision to Sacra
mento. The rejuvenated Seattle
Rainiers took their fifth
straight in another close con
test, edging Portland, 5-4 on
the strength of a three-run
eighth inning.
San Diego combed three
Salt Lake pitchers for 14 hits
including two-run homers by
Dave Rope and Gene Lary,
while handing the Bees their
third straight setback. Lary
throttled the visitors on eight
safeties to pick up his eighth
triumph.
Bamberger Drops One
At Sacramento, the Solons
handed Mountie starter
George Bamberger his ninth
loss against 14 victories with
a three-run splurge in the
fourth inning. The Solons'
Marshall Bridges, who need
ed help from Bob Ross in the
seventh, got the win, his 13th
of the season. Bridges struck
out four to run his league
leading total to 176.
The Sacs put together
three hits, a walk and sacri
fice in the three run fourth
frame.
Seattle touched three Port
land pitchers for 12 hits, but
the Beavers made it close by
bunching their seven safeties
in three innings. Rainier startr
er Chuck Churn, who gave
way to Jim Davis in the
ninth, was credited with his
seventh win. The Beaver's Al
Lary was charged with the
seventh defeat against eight
wins. Len Neal and Bob Di-
Pietro homered for the losers,
a two-run homer in the
seventh.
At Boston, Donovan missed
a shutout only when Jackie
Jensen hit his 33rd homer for
the Red Sox in the fifth in
ning. It was Donovan's sev
enth win in the last eight
starts and his 11th complete
game of the year.
Braves Lose Two
In other AL games, the
Kansas City A's swept a twi
night twin bill from Balti
more, 4-1 and 6-4, and Wash
ington handed Detroit its fifth
straight loss, 3-1. In the Na
tional league, San Francisco
nipped Cincinnati in 10 in
nings, 4-3; Pittsburgh downed
the Chicago Cubs, 4-3; St.
Louis edged the Philadelphia
Phils, 5-4; and the Los An
geles Dodgers swept a twi
night twin bill from Milwau
kee, 4-1 and 7-2, to end the
Braves' seven-game winning
streak.
Ned Garver won the open
ing game for the Orioles, his
11th victory, with a five-hitter
in which he allowed only one
earned run. The A's slammed
out 15 hits to take the night
cap. Roy Sievers paced the .Sen
ators with a 4-for-4, driving
in two of Washington's three
runs with his 34th homer and
a single. ,
Win In Last Frame
The Giants gained their
19th last inning victory of the
season when Orlando Cepeda
reached first base as Johnny
Temple dropped his pop fly
in a collision, and then came
all the way in on Willie Kirk
land's triple.
Two-run homers by Bill
Mazeroski and Dick Stuart
gave the Pirates their victory
over Chicago, with Stuart's
sixth-inning wallop off Tay
lor Phillips being the win
ner.
Hobie Landrith's eighth-in
ning homer broke a 4-4 tie
to give the Cards their win
over the Phils. Stan Musial
and Gene Frtese also hom
ered for the Cards and Wally
Post and Solly Hemus for the
Phils.
Don Drysdale pitched a
five-hitter for the Dodgers'
opening game win ' and also
hit his fifth homer of the sea
son. Charley Neal's short
homer over the leftfield
screen in the second inning
