LUCKY LAGER 10 7 'j-V- i v- C" AGE j Kiei? York Yankees Hit" Rock Bronx Bombers Knocked Into Cellar First Time In 19 Years; Tigers Rise By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International You think the Yankees got troubles? Step in a little closer, Buster,' and get a load of some real misery among base ball's other unfortunates. Like the fizzling Phillies, for example, now suffering through their worst losing streak in three years. Or bewildered Bob Friend of Pittsburgh, with his 0-7 record. He isn't exactly cheer ing over that showing. Neith er is Jack Harshman about his woeful 0-6 slate with Balti more. To quote Casey Stengel: 'It sure is a sad situation." Not for everyone, though. The Cleveland Indians clung to their half-game lead in the American league with a 5-3 victory over Washing ton Wednesday night. The second-place White Sox stay ed close to the Tribe with a 5-2 win over Baltimore; De troit climbed out of the cel lar for the first time this sea son and dumped the Yankees into it for the first time in 19 years by beating them, 13-6, and Kansas City' moved into the first division with an 8-2 decision over Boston. Lose Eight Straight In the National league, the Cubs handed the Phillies their eighth straight loss, 7-5; the Cardinals knocked Friend out in the second inning while beating the Pirates, 11-1; the Giants snapped the Braves' six-game winning streak, 6-3, and the Reds won the second game of a twi-night double- header, 7-5, after the Dodgers took the opener, 8-4. Rocky Colavito and Vic Power each drove in a pair of runs to help the Indians hand the Senators their fourth straight loss. Dick Donovan's four-hit pitching for the White . Sox cooled off the Orioles, who suffered only their second loss in the last seven games. The big story of the day, of course, was the Yankees' hit ting rock bottom for the first time at this stage of the pen nant race since May 25, 1940. Detroit's Frank Lary, a long time nemesis who has beaten the Yanks 18 times in 23 tries yielded a first-inning homer to Yogi Berra and then held the world champs off until the ninth when Mickey Man tle homered and Berra con nected for his second of the game. The Tigers did a little hit ting, too. They raked loser Bobby Schantz and four re lievers for 19 hits, including a pair of homers by Eddie Yost, who drove in six runs. Comets, Tornadoes Slate Single Game Friday Afternoon Only a single game will be played Friday between the Medford and Crater High school baseball nines. The, tussle will be at 4:15 pjn. at Cheney stadium at the south edge of Medford and will be Crater's home game. A doubleheader originally was planned. Medford already has clinch ed the Southern Oregon con ference championship.

Unknown Leads Memphis Golf Memphis, Tenn.-CPD-A star studded field of 99 pros and 20 amateurs, led by "un known" Don Whitt of Bor rego Springs, Calif., teed off at the Colonial Country Club today in the $25,000 Memphis Open golf tournament. Whitt, 28, who never has won a major PGA tourna ment, set a competitive course record in the pro-am event Wednesday with his seven- .Roger Maris' 10th homer with one on in the seventh sealed the Athletics' victory over the Red Sox, who now have dropped seven of their last eight games. Ernie Banks' three-run homer for the Cubs in the eighth inning sank the flound ering Phillies. The defeat stretched Philadelphia's los ing streak to its longest one since May 13, 1956, when the club snapped a 10-game string. Felipe AIou drove in three runs for the Giants with a single, double and a homer against the Braves, whose NL lead was shaved to ZVz games. Joe Pignatono's first hom er of the season with two men on featured a six-run seventh inning rally that gave the Dodgers their opening game triumph over the Reds. In the nightcap, Gus Bell's three-run homer highlighted a five run third inning for the Reds after Roy McMil liaiu had tagged loser Carl Erskine for a two-run homer in the second inning.

Baseball Video Study Continues Columbus, Ohio -(UPD-Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick met here today with officials from all 16 major league clubs to discuss several items of business including the ques tion of a policy of major league television. It also was indicated that the proposal for a third major league would be discussed. Frick called the meeting fol lowing Wednesday's conclu sion of the two-day Major-Minor League Television Com mittee meeting at which "very satisfactory" progress was re ported. x Although no final agree ment was reached on a. tele vision policy Frick and minor league czar George M. Traut- Jan announced jointly that pftinsiderable progress was made and a study of the situa NY Pitchers Threatened By Stengel By FRED DOWN New York (UPD Casey Stengel looked up at his seven American league rivals today and reminded them: "He who laughs last, laughs the most est." , A last-place manager for the first time in 19 years, Stengel also warned his bat tered New York Yankee pitchers, "Some of you guys better start doin' better or you won't be around here very long." The Yankees had just been tumbled into last place by a fearful, 13-6 shellacking at the hands of the Detroit Ti gers but there was no sign of panic by Stengel or his world champions. In fact, Stengel was as calm fcnd collected as if he had just signed another two-year contract at $100,000 per. "I've been there, before," he quipped when reminded the Yankees seventh defeat in 10 games and 16th in 22 had dropped them into the cellar. "I've been fifth and I've been sixth, too." This marked the first time since May : 25, 1940, ' that a Yankee team was in last place and it was also the first time since Aug. 3, 1940, that any team managed by Stengel was last. Casey's Boston Bees were in last place on the lat ter date. "I guess this makes pretty good reading around the country," conceded Casey with a grin. "A lot of people are having a lotta fun but they better remember the fella who laughs last laughs the mostest." Duck Trackmen Head for PCC Tiff at Seattle Eugene -(UPD- An 18-man University of Oregon track and field squad left here to day for Seattle and the Pa cific Coast conference meet Friday and Saturday where the Webfoots have some hopes of dethroning mighty South ern California. Coach Bill Bowerman said javelin thrower D. C. Mills and versatile Steve Ander son, who missed the Northern Division meet here last week end, would be able to compete in the PCC meet. However, pole vaulter Phil Paquin is still out with an injury. "Where we finish denends in great part on what the oth er teams do to split up points. We could land almost any where among the top group of teams," Bowerman said. California, UCLA and Stan ford are expected to give Ore gon a run for the money for second place. Oregon lost a dual meet to the Trojans earlier this sea son by a close margin and some observers give the Ducks a chance to pull a major up set. Yank 9 Hears About It Early New York -ttJPD-.The Yan kees began to hear about it even before they officially tumbled into the American league cellar after Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Detroit Tigers. One wire addressed to Yan kee radio and TV announcer Mel Allen arrived at Yankee Stadium during the seventh inning and read: "How hard I rooted in the past. "And now it's true, the Yanks are last."

Ed Machen Bout Victor San Francisco -(UPD- The only thing on tap today for heavyweight prospects Eddie Machen and Reuben Vargas was a rematch. No hollering for a sbot at Floyd Patterson's world crown; nobody even asking for Pete Rademacher. Machen, 197V2, won a 10 round decision over Vargas, 189V2, in a nationally tele vised bout Wednesday , night that was supposed to send one man .or the other climbing up the fistic ladder. Machen had entered the bout as the fifth ranked challenger. Vargas was unranked, but in his last bout he decisioned Tony An thony in New York. When Wednesday night's bout was over, neither man had covered himself with glory - although there was quite a blood letting. Referee Verne Bybee had it 98-95; judge Jack Downey, 96-94; judge Matt Zidich, 97 95 - all for Machen.
