Herbert Qualifies as Yankee
Killer; Pitches 4th Shutout
By FRED DOWK
UPI Sporti Writtr
It took Ray Herbert a long
time to learn how to beat the
New York Yankees, but once
acquired the technique is
habit-forming.
A 20-game winner in 1962,
the Chicago White Sox right
hander irom Detroit is the
newest American league pitch
er to qualify as a "Yankee
killer." And, In the bargain,
his flashing curveball is mak
ing him one of the AL's top
pitchers and a "shutout ar
tist" reminiscent of the dead
ball era.

MEDFORD, OREGON,
Vachon Has Short
Reign as Champion;
Columbo Keeps Belt
Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon
enjoyed perhaps the shortest
reign in history as Pacific
coast junior heavyweight
wrestling champion - about
five minutes - at Mcdford
armory last night. Then he
returned to the ring and
promptly lost the champion
ship belt to Rocky Columbo,
from whom he had taken it.
It all happened when, with
falls standing at one apiece,
Vachon pinned Columbo. Af
ter the referee counted Colum
bo out, the arbiter found that
Vachon had illegally used
leverage from the ring ropes
and ruled that Vachon would
have to return to the ring and
continue the match.
After much persuasion and
a threat to forego a stop at the
pay window, Vachon returned
to the ring and was arguing
violently with the referee
when Columbo landed a well
placed drop kick and Vachon
was counted out.
Vachon, who usually wears
a beard, came into the ring
with a white mask, which
Columbo removed during the
match. Removal of the mask
revealed a bald, beardless
Vachon. It was announced
that Vachon had a match in
Portland earlier in the week
with Tony Borne, also a beard
wearer. The loser was to be
shaved in the ring. Vachon
lost.

entered the ring attired in a
gaudy jacket, flashy beret and

Dave Slenhouse pitched a
seven hitter to give the Wash
ington Senators a 6-0 victory
over the Cleveland Indians in
the only other AL activity of
day or night.
Herbert, a refuge from the
Kansas City Athletics, from
whom he was acquired June
10, 1961, has now shut out the
A's, Orioles and Senators in
that order. In those 27 shutout
innings, he has allowed a total
of only nine hits. His victory
Thursday night also dumped
the lordly Yankees into fifth
place in the AL and tagged
them with their first shutout
of the 1963 season.
Surrenders Two Singles
Herbert was tapped for
singles by Joe Pepitone and
Clete Boyer, walked only one
batter and permitted one
Yankee batter to reach third
base. The White Sox scored
both their runs off World
Scries hero Ralph Terry (3-4)
in the fourth inning on a
double by Pete Ward, a walk
to Dave Nicolson and Ron
Hansen's double.
Stu Miller's one-hit relief
pitching for two innings pre
served the Baltimore victory
for Chuck Estrada, who had
yielded the Red Sox only two
hits over the first seven in
nings. Boog Powell homered
for the Orioles' first run and
they added three more in the
sixth inning, with the key
blow a two-run double by
Brooks Robinson. Chuck
Schilling, John Tillman and
pinch-hitter Gary Geiger ac
counted for the Red Sox three
hits.
Stenhouse', who tailed off as
a rookie last season after a
brilliant start, turned in his
second victory of the season
for the Senators, whose eight
hit attack was paced by Ed
Brinkman s three-run fourth
inning homer. It marked the
first time the Senators beat
Jim (Mudcat) Grant after 12
straight losses to him at Wash
ington. Grant started the game
with an overall lifetime mark
of 20-4 against the Senators.

Ducks Favored
Over Huskies
Eugene (UPH Oregon is the
heavy favorite, but a couple
of Washington trackmen may
draw much of the attention
Saturday when the two teams
collide in a dual meet at Hay
ward Field.
The Huskies boast two of
the best collegiate pole vault
ers in the nation in Brian
Sternberg and John Cramer.
Sternberg shot into promi
nence earlier this year when
he set a world record of 16-5.
That mark lasted only about
a week, but Sternberg has
been over 16 feet consistently.
Cramer was a consistent 15
foot with a metal pole last
year but has been bothered
by injuries.
The meet may see an out
standing duel in the sprints
between Oregon's Dave Blunt
and Washington's Jerry Plow
man. Otherwise, the powerful
Ducks are expected to have
tilings their own way. They
will be out after their fifth
consecutive dual meet tri
umph. '

Lipscomb
Death Said
Mysterious
Baltimore, Md. -IUPD- Gene
(Big Daddy) Lipscomb, 31, gl
ant tackle for the Pittsburgh
Steelers professional football
team, died mysteriously early
today after collapsing at
party.
Police said the huge former
all pro lineman, was pro
nounced dead on arrival at
Lutheran hospital here after
attempts at "external heart
massage" failed to revive him,
Lipscomb lived in Balti
more, where he formerly star
red with the Baltimore Colts,
and had been at a party in
a private home, police said.
He suddenly fell unconscious,
witnesses said, and an ambu
lance was called. By the time
he arrived at the hoespital
Lipscomb was dead, a hospital
spokesman said.
The body was then taken
to the city morgue for an au
topsy. Police said they had no
idea what was the cause of
death and declined to specu
late. The 6 foot 6 Lipscomb,
whose playing weight was
283 pounds, achieved all-pro
distinction in the National
Football league without ever
having played college foot
ball. A native of Detroit, the
huge tackle learned to play
the high-powered kind of
game favored by the pros
while serving in the Marines.
He signed with the Los An
geles Rams for the 1953 sea
son and for three years was
known as little more than a
routine lineman in the NFL.
But in 1956 he was traded
to Baltimore and it was with
the Colts that he blossomed
into one of the most feared
linemen in the league.

Frank Robinson's Booming Bat
Carries Redlegs To
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sporti Writer
There's fresh proof today
that the Cincinnati Reds go
as Frank Robinson goes.
National leaguers aotually
put it another way.
When Robinson's not hit
ting," they say, "It's like play
ing a team that's blind-folded
when it bats."
The 1961 NL champions
seemed blind-folded, at that,
for the first three weeks of
the season. They were shut
out four times and held to one
run three other times as they
stumbled around in a hit fam
ine that was enough to make
Manager Fred (The Bear)
Hutchinson tear up the club
house furniture.
Then, Robinson, the NL's
Most Valuable Player in 1961
and a .342 hitter with 39 horn.
crs and 136 runs batted in
last season whose average this
year had dwindled to a sickly
261, suddenly burst out of
his slump. And what a com
ing out party it was!
Blasts Two Homers
All Robinson did Thursday
night was go 5-for-5, with two
homers, a double and two sin
gles, score three runs and
drive in seven to pace the
Reds to a 13-3 rout of the
Houston Colts. Teammate
Vada Pinson weighed in with
3-for-5, three runs scored and
four RBI's to make it a breeze
for Jim Maloney to chalk up
his fourth victory against one
loss.
Robinson's splurge raised
his 1963 average 40 points to
.301 and gave him six homers
and 22 runs batted in.
The San Francisco Giants
downed the Milwaukee Braves
6-2, the St. Louis Cardinals
turned on the Los Angeles
Dodgers 10-7, the Chicago
Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pi
rates 3-1, and the New York
Mets defeated the Philadel
phia Phillies 3-2, in other NL
action. . .
Robinson hammered a two
run double to cap a four-run
third inning rally, hit a two
run homer in the sixth and
added a three-run round-tripper
in the eighth to round out
his one-man attack on HouS'
ton pitchers.
