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

inning. Perry's 420-foot blast
capped a three-run Sacra

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.

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.

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.

famous as their counterparts,

are a talented band of fun
makers who can turn on the
steam or tickle the fancy of
the most staid fan, all within

They are managed by Rip

ters in the game today and
have added some new players
this year to help balance their
team.
Sleepy Edward , and Show

guished gentlemen,' are the

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.

and Spahn topped the San
Francisco Giants, 4-2, to help
the Milwaukee Braves stretch
their National league lead to
3V4 games.
Loses Shutout Bid
It was the 255th victory of
Wynn's 20-year career while
Spahn registered the 251st
triumph of a 15-year career.
Cy Young, Walter Johnson,
Grover Cleveland Alexander,
Eddie Plank and Lefty Grove
and Christy Mathewson
are the only modern pitcners
who have reached the 300
mark for their careers.
The White Sox tagged
Chuck Stobbs for three runs
in the first inning and kept
drawing further and further
away. Wynn, whose record is
6-2, lost a bid for the 40th
shutout of his career when
Reno Bertoia hit a two-run
homer in the sixth inning.
The victory coupled with
the Baltimore Oriole's 3-0 de
cision over the Cleveland In
dians, gave the White Sox a
three-point hold on first place.
They shared the key spot the
first four days of this season
but this is the first time they
had sole occupancy since
1957.
Spahn struck out six and
scattered nine hits in posting
his fifth win of the year for
the Braves. The veteran pitch
er also singled to touch off
the Braves' decisive sixth-inning
rally-a rally capped
when Hank Aaron bombed a
double off the center field
fence in San Francisco.
Skinny Brown and Billy
Loes combined in the six-hit
shutout of the Indians. Don
Ferrarese walked in the first
Baltimore run and three sin
gles, a sacrifice and an infield
out produced the other two
Oriole tallies in the fifth.
The Detroit Tigers crushed
the Boston Red Sox, 14-2, in
an American league day game
and the Cincinnati Reds beat
the Los Angeles Dodgers, 9-7,
in the other N.L. game. The
other teams were not sched
uled. Pitcher Jim Bunning drove
in five runs with a homer,
triple and two singles as the
Tigers battered four Boston
pitchers for 16 hits.
Vada Pinson doubled home
two runs in the eighth inning
after Johnny Temple and Gus
Bell homered in the fifth for
the big blows of Cincinnati's
victory over the Dodgers.
