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

hardly anyone can remember
the last time he took a day
off.
Offsets Tiger Homers , .
Fox's timely hitting and .a
three run homer by Sherm
Lollar helped offset homers
by Harvey Kuenn, Al Kaline
and Farnk Boiling in Wednes
day's victory, which was cred
ited to reliever Gerry Staley.
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. Minnie Minoso, Russ Nixon
and Jim Baxes'hit homers in
a 15-hit Cleveland assault
that carried Gary Bell to vid
tory over Kansas City."
Pinch-hitter Julio Becquer
of the Senators ruined the
Yankees. 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.
Southpaw Harvey Haddix
of the Pirates won his ninth
game by beating his former
Phillie teammates for the
fourth straight time this sea
son. Pittsburgh broke a 2-2
tie by hopping on Robin Rob
erts for four runs in the sev
enth. The Cubs used four home
runs to undo the Dodgers,
who dropped to third place
behind the Braves. Ernie
Banks started the fireworks
when he hit his 34th homer
with two on off loser Don
Drysdale in the first inning.
Sammy Taylor, Irv Noren
and Alvin Dark also homered

Solons Cut Beaver Lead;
Bragan's Beef Pays Off
United Press International
The Portland Beavers still
had their hold on first place
in the Pacific Coast leaguer to
day but their grip was a little
shakier. '
Sacramento, the league
leader most, df the season
downed Portland twice Wed
nesday night,; 4-2 and 2-1, the
latter game in 10 innings and
the first one in seven.
A bases-loaded single by
Nippy Jones scored pitcher
Harry Fox with the winning
Sacramento run off Art Hout
teman in the nightcap.
Sacramento scored two runs
in the fifth inning, in the
short first game to get ' its
winning margin. The loser in
this one was Tom Gorman.
Jack Littrell, playing third
base for the injured George
Freese, accounted for all the
Portland scoring in both
games.
Two Homers, Hit -.
Littrell hit. his 13th homer
with Dave Melton on in the
second inning of the first
game and added his 14th in
the second game.
The doublewin halted a
seven -game Sacramento los
ing streak. '
At Spokane, manager Bob
by Bragan finally came up
with some positive results in
his long battle with umpires.
Bragan, to no one's sur
prise or immediate concern,
was ejected from the Spokane-Salt
Lake City game
Tuesday night by umpire Bob
St. Claire. Upon departure
however, Bobby protested the
game, which Spokane lost,
10-8. :-.,.
St. Claire had called Indian
shortstop Bob Dillis out at
home, even though the plate
was blocked by Salt Lake
catcher D a r y 1 Westerf ield,
who didn't have the ball.
Second Chance -
Wednesday PCL boss Les
lie O'Connor upheld Bragan's
protest allowed the run, and
the game was replayed from
the Seventh inning with Spo
! ne leadirfg 9-7.
Reliever Chuck Churn held
the lead, the Indians crashed
across three more runs and
won 12-7.
Salt Lake cut short Bra
gan's joy in Wednesday's reg
ularly scheduled contest, ex
ploding for nine runs in the
last two innings to crush the
Indians, 12-2. Dick Hall pick
ed up his 14th win against
four losses, hurling a four
hitter. Three-run homers by Sam
Miley and Carlos Bernier
highlighted the- Salt Lake
splurge.
In another extra-inning af
fair, last-place Seattle defeat
ed Phoenix in 11 frames, 4-3.
Vancouver toppled San Di
ego in Frank Merriwell fash
ion in the other PCL game,
8-6, with Joe Taylor's second
home run of the game with
two mates aboard in the bot
tom of the ninth winning it.
Portland's double loss mov
ed Vancouver to within one
game. Salt Lake and Sacra
mento are tied for third, one
and a half games out. -
