Me Fox Sparks White Sox Triumph By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Little Nellie Fox loves that chewing tobacco, but just for a change he wants to sink his teeth into a sweet chunk of World Series melon. And now after 12 seasons of catching the World Series on radio or TV, Fox looks like he's going to get into his first one with the pennant bound Chicago White Sox. Along with a crack at a World Series ring, the five-foot-nine, 155-pound second baseman also has aft excellent chance to wind up the Ameri can league's most valuable player of the year. His per formance in an 11-6 victory over Detroit Wednesday was typical. He drove in three runs and scored three more with a sin gle and a ouble that boosted his average to '322, fourth best in the circuit. He leads the league with 148 hits and Trout Fishing Getting Better On Rogue River Portland-(l!PD - The weekly report on fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: North Umpqua trout angling fair to good with best areas still above Rock creek in morning or late in day; summer steelhead ing still slow; few chinook are in lower Umpqua as far up as Gardiner. ; Striped bass fishing near Gardiner continued good; bar at Winchester bay and ocean rood with excention of morn- " ing fog and salmon angling is fair.' v " Salmon fishing good on lower Rogue; trout fishing in middle section of Rogue is slow but show signs of im Drovement: north fork of Rogue continues good; lakes are generally slow.

The Indians mauled the Athletics, 9-4; the Senators beat the Yankees, 3-2, and the Red Sox overcame the Ori oles,, in other AL- contests. In the National league, the Braves defeated the Reds, 6-4; the Pirates downed the Phillies, 6-2, and the Cubs outlasted the Dodgers, 11-8. The first-place Giants and Cardinals were not sched uled.

He hit a three-run homer off reliever Ryne Dur en in the eighth inning after the Yanks had built a 2-0 lead off starter Pedro Ramos. A ninth-inning homer- by Gary Geiger, proved Boston's margin of victory over Balti more. Geiger hit his ninth homer of the season off re liever Hoyt Wilhelm, who suf fered his eighth loss. The Braves simply over powered the Reds with home runs. Eddie Mathews hit his 32nd with one on in the first inning and then connected for his 33rd with a man aboard in the third. That tied the score at 4-all and Hank Aaron untied it with his 30th homer in the fifth.
