Only six modern pitchers have reached that majestic to tal but the seemingly inde structible Wynn and Spahn just keep rolling along toward Sacs Shade Bees, Perry Mits iHiomer United Press International It may be too early to start a "stop Sacramento" cam paign in the Pacific Coast league, but the Solons are do ing their best to make just such a movement necessary. The Sacs did it the hard way Monday night, shading Salt Lake City 4-3, on the ' strength of a two-run homer by Bob Perry in the eighth inning. Perry's 420-foot blast capped a three-run Sacra mento rally to give Perry Fox his third straight win in re lief. The Bees had taken a 3-1 lead in their half of the eighth on two walks, a field er's choice and a double by Jim Baumer. Bob Anderston, who came on for starter Don Howe in the fatal inning, was charged with the loss. Lead By Four Games The victory gave Sacramen to a four-game lead over the second - place San- Diego Padres, who had took the night off. The Solons won the series, five games to two.

RUBBER CHECKS IN PEN Columbus, Ohio - (DPD - The Ohio Penitentiary newspaper reported this week that in mates are writing rubber checks on their prison bank accounts. This is a violation " of the prison rules, the news paper said. WE NEED FORD 1957 & 1958- Pickups and TRADE Main ft Fir Phone: SP 3 the goal. Wynn, 39, is pitch ing his best ball in three years this season and Spahn, 38, is rolling again after a slightly faltering start. Wynn pitched the Chicago White Sox into first place in the American league for the first time since June 27, 1957, Monday night when he beat the Washington Senators, 9-2, Vancouver in the only other games played. Veteran right hander Art Houtteman gave up only three hits in the sec ond game, won by Portland 7-0, after Marty Kutyna had three-hitted the Mounties in the afternoon tilt for a 1-0 Beaver triumph. The Canadians committed six errors to go with their anemic hitting attack in the nightcap to send ace left hander Fred Besana down to his first defeat. Only two of the seven Portland runs were earned. , In the Opener, the Beavers pushed across the only run of the game on two singles and a fieldef's choice in the third inning. The win was Kutyna's second of the year. L1NESCORES: (1st game) Portland 001 000 000 1 7 0 Vancouver ....000 000 000 0 3 1 Kutyna and Tornay; Hatten, Bea mon (9) and Pagliaroni.

They are managed by Rip Collins, one of the finest hit ters in the game today and have added some new players this year to help balance their team. Sleepy Edward , and Show boat Buckner, two distin guished gentlemen,' are the leading trouble makers for the Ghosts softball team. Ball Circus The Ghosts are billed as a Ball Circus, America's great est summer sports show. They have a carload of tricks. A talent-plus comedy rou-' tine equivalent to that of the famed Harlem Globe Trotters in' basketball, the Iowans put a few added wrinkles into ball play. The Ghosts are ca pable of beating most opposi tion with straight ball but use unorthodox ball handling, contortion and wisecraks to entertain the fans. In the most hilarious thing since Abbott and Costello, the Iowa Ghosts are expected to keep the crowd in an uproar throughout the game with their remarks and comical, but professional-like plays. During the game the Ghosts will give an exhibition of pepperball, and rowboat acts. After the game the Ghosts will give an exhibition of shadowball, which takes place without a ball, but with all the motion of a real game.
