VAKe Sox Md (First Spot By HaH (Same; Record 24-5 Dm TBDts off -ne-Run Margin By FRED DOWN United Press International The White Sox aren't the hitless wonders of long ago but they still make one run go a long way. They've scored' fewer runs than any other American league team except Baltimore but they're back in first place by a half-game today because their pitching and defense win the close ones They're streaking now with six wins in their last seven games-and five of the victo ries were by one run. What's more they've compiled a 24-5 mark in or.e-run games and are only 14 shy of the AL record for one-run victories in a single season, They came through with one of their most important decisions of the season Tues day night when Billy Pierce's sturdy pitching and . Al Smith's two-run eighth-inning homer produced a 4-3 win over floundering New York Yankees. A crowd of 43,829- largest of the season in Chi cago's Comiskey Park - saw the White Sox dump the world champions into fifth place. Indians Drop to Second The Cleveland Indians slipped back into second place when they lost, 8-4, after beat ing the Boston Red Sox, 5-2. The Kansas City- A's stretched their winning streak to a ma jor league season high of nine by beating the Washington Senators, 6-1, and the Detroit Tigers defeated the Orioles, 8-3, in other AL games. The Los Angeles Dodgers climbed within a half-game of the National league lead when they beat the Pittsburgh Pi rate, 9-4, and the Philadelphia Phillies shaded the San Fran Cisco Giants, 3-2. The Chicago Cubs nipped the Milwaukee Braves, 5-4, and the Cincin nati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-4. Gary Bell pitched a six-hitter and Jim Baxes hit his 13 th homer for the Indians in their opener but then homers by Frank Malzone and Pete Run nels led the Red Sox to their nightcap victory.

The combination of the Dodgers' 9-4 victory over Pittsburgh Tuesday night and losses by San Francisco and Milwaukee moved the Dodg ers from third to second place and just a half game behind the Giants. "With any sort of a break, we could move into the lead," Dodger manager Walt Alston said after the game. Eighth Straight Defeat The loss was the Pirates' eighth straight defeat and Manager Danny Murtaugh named one of his top hurlers, Vernon Law, 11-6, to start to night, hoping he could break the chain of defeat. Roger Craig, 5-2, hurls for Los An geles. Tuesday night's victory went to burly Stan Williams, who pitched six scoreless in nings in relief and showed he apparently has regained his control. Williams credited a change in his delivery for his effec tiveness in recent relief ap pearances. Alston agreed. "The coaches have been working with Williams to stick to his overhand delivery instead of trying to throw sliders," Alston said. "Stan has worked hard at it and Tuesday night's game demonstrated he has licked his major problem of wild ness." Yakima Bears Sock 24 Hits United Press International Ouch! What those Yakima Bears did to Tri-City in Tues day, night's Northwest league play. The Bears collected 24 hits, including five homers, scored 10 runs in one inning and when the smoke had cleared it was Yakima 22 Tri-City 1. Daryl Robertson of the win ners had a two-run homer in the first and Herm Lewis add ed a solo homer in the second. Catcher Pete, Gongola added a two-run homer in the sixth and then came the deluge. With such help, George Player coasted to his sixth win of the year as he spaced seven Tri-City hits. Thank You...

The Giants cracked five four-masters Tuesday night. It hardly did them any good They got beat 9-8 by Vancou ver, which didn't get a one out of the park. The win moved Vancouver back ifito first place by a full game over Sacramento, which was beaten by Portland, 7-1. Spokane defeated Salt Lake, 6-2 and San Diego nipped Se attle, 2-1, in other games. The Giants have now hit 11 homers in their last three games, one of which they've won. Vancouver clipped five Phoenix hurlers for 15 hits in the fray. A three-run rally in the top of the ninth won it for the Mounties and gave Connie Johnson, the third of five Van couver pitchers, the win. Johnson singled home the winning run. Bob . Speake hit a pair of homers for the Giants while Owen Friend, Sal Taormina and Roger McCardell also hit for the circuit. Bill Werle. who veteran PCL fans will remember fog ging them up for San Fran cisco back in 1942, pitched San Diego to its 2-1 win over Seattle. He got brilliant field ing support and Russ Heman tossed the final two frames for the Padres. It was Werle's third win against two losses Bill Renna doubled home one run for the Pads in the second inning and scored the other in the same frame. Spokane dropped Salt Lake three games behind Vancou ver as it erupted for five runs in the eighth inning to break up a fine pitching duel be tween Salt Lakes George Perez and Spokane's Chuck Churn. Winner Churn, a 27- I: Bill i year-old righthander, is now 10-2. Frank Howard hit his eighth homer for Spokane. Art Houtteman scattered seven hits while subduing Sacramento. The Beavers chased Solon starter Winston Brown from the mound with three homers in the second inning. George Freese cracked a two-run blast while Bob Di- Pietro and Jim Greengrass hit solo shots. . Portland exploded for six hits and six runs in the sec ond inning in belting the Sac ramento Solons behind the six-hit pitching of Art Houtte man. Portland continued in third place, only two carries out of first place. The second inning rally was highlighted by a two-run homer of the bat of George i) reese.
