Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. bi.'ic.Mai..( J. 1962 B Yanks Wrap Up American League Pennant By FRED DOWN UPI Sport. WriUr The old champs got their knockout, too, with the time tested one-two punch of Man tle and Ford. ' And so today it's only a question of whether it'll be the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants in the opposite dugout when the New York Yankees begin the defense of their world base ball championship. - - The Yankees made it offi cial Tuesday night when they clinched their second straight pennant under Ralph Houk and their 27th flag in all with an 8-3 victory over the Wash ington Senators. It was- the knockout blow -as far as the Minnesota Twins were con cerned although the Cleveland Indians later added the coup de grace with a 5-1 triumph over the Twins. - Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford, who are always ready tor a party, were the fellows who flashed the signal to pop the champagne corks. , ; Mantle enjoyed a perfect night at bat with four singles and a walk, driving in two runs and scoring two others, while Ford scattered 12 hits and struck out six in going the distance for his nth win of the season. Bill Skowron also drove in two runs with a ingle and his 23rd homer and Tony Kubek had three hits in the Yankees' 16-hit attack. Far From Over ; The National league race, meanwhile, is far from over- with the Giants making a late push and the Dodgers drag ging their heels. The Giants cut their first- place deficit to a mere two games on Tuesday night when they beat the St. Louis Car dinals, 4-2, and the Houston Colts topped the Dodgers, 3-2, in 10 innings. The Dodgers' magic number remained at tour with both them and the Giants having five games to play. Jack Sanford pitched a sev en-hitter to raise his record to 23-7 behind a nine hit at tack that included two hits each by Matty Alou, Willie Mays and Tom Haller. Bill White homered for the Cardi nals. Maury Wills stole two bases to raise his record total to 99 but Dick Farrell scrambled out of an assortment of tight spots to score his 10th win for the Colts. Ed Roebuck, who hadn't lost a game in two years and had a 10-0 record this season, suffered the defeat when Al Spangler homered in the top of the 10th. The Detroit Tigers beat the Los Angeles Angels, 3-2, and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Chicago White Sox, 4-0, in other AL games while the Cincinnati Reds shaded the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, and the Milwaukee Braves down ed the New York Mets, 7-3, in other NL action.

Dodgers Appear They May Blow Los Angeles - (UPD - They're selling World Series tickets in San Francisco and tranquil izers in Los Angeles - the Dodgers look like they might blow the pennant. Sure, Los Angeles was in front by two full games when the day began and there's only five left for both the Dodgers and Giants - includ ing San Francisco's afternoon contest today against St. Louis. But only last Sunday the Dodgers were In front by four games. Tuesday it was three. And those Cardinals - the only team to hold an edge over the Dodgers this year -come to town Friday night for a three-game series that finishes the regular season. If the Giants are close, St. Louis could belt the Dodgers out of a flag - the way it did to Milwaukee on the final week end of the 1956 season.

Houk Maintains Rookies Made Loop Flag Possible Br MILTON RICHMAN New York-IUPIl-Champagne-soaked Ralph Houk wiped the bubbles out of his eyes, reach ed for a nearby can of beer and drank a toast to those who made the Yankees' 27th pen nant possible - "our rookies!" Speaking quietly amid the pennant -clinching hub hub Tuesday night, the Yankee manager first paid the cus tomary tribute to his "old pros" - fellows like Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson, Ralph Terry and Yogi Berra. But he saved his greatest praise for the rookies. "They were simply extra ordinary," he said. "And I had to think where we'd have been without them.' One by one, he called off their names, Tom Tresh ... Phil Linz . . . Jim Bouton . . . Joe Pepitone. "And don't forget Marshall Bridges," Houk emphasized, "I know he pitched over in the National league before, but he was a rookie with ui. He did a tremendous Job in re lief." Houk, who picked the Yan kees to win last spring, said he never wavered once. - "I thought we had the best ball club all the way," he said. "At no point did I ever think we were going to lose, even after we dropped those five straight to Baltimore In late , August."
