Downing, See No-Hitter Bids Spoiled in AL Tilts By MILTON RICHMAN un sports Writer off Paul Foytack, who sufier Al Downing and Dave ed his second defeat, against Morehead can console each one victory. Dick Hall, second other today over coming so near, yet so far, in their bids lor no-hitters. Downing, the 22-year-old New York Yankees' south paw, held the Chicago White Sox hitless for 6 23 innings Tuesday night but had to set tle for a one-hit 3-0 victory. And Morehead, a 19-year-old rookie right-hander for the Boston Red Sox, had a no hitter going until the eighth against the Cleveland Indians only to wind up with a two hit 6-1 triumph. "I would have liked to pitch a no-hitter," said Down ing, "but I am not complain ing a bit. Winning the game was more important." t Morehead was equally philo sophical. "I did my best," he said, "and I'll take a two-hitter any day of the week." Downing's victory was his third and the Yankees' fifth in a row, stretching their American league lead to three games. The Yankee left-hand-t-r, who had held the Red Sox hitless for 6 13 innings in his previous start last Friday night, had visions of a "no- no" - as the ballplayers call it - Tuesday night until Ca milo Carreon rapped a sharp single off his glove with two out in the seventh, There wasn't the least bit of doubt about Carreon's hit, which skipped over second base and rolled into center field. But that was the only one of 134 pitches by Down ing which was hit safely. He struck out 10 batters, walked six and got the only run he needed when Tony Kubek singled home Hector Lopez in the third inning. Lo pez then hit a two-run homer in the fifth. The Yanks' run in the third was their first off loser Ray Berbert (8-5) in 20 consecutive innings. Morehead, whose record now is 5-5, pitched perfect ball until he walked Willie Kirkland with two out in the seventh. He lost his no-hitter when Fred Whitfield led off the eighth with a grounder that took a freak bounce over second baseman Chuck Schil ling's head for a single. There was nothing freak ish, however, about John Ro mano's pinch homer in the ninth. Romano had been re stored to the active list just before the game. The Red Sox scored two runs off loser Bar ry Latman (5-4) in the second inning and Lou Clinton's hom er featured a four-run out burst in the sixth. The Minnesota Twins reel ed off their eighth straight victory and took over second place with a 7-4 triumph over the Detroit Tigers, the Balti more Orioles out-lasted the Los Angeles Angeles, 4-3, and the Washington Senators downed the Kansas City A's, 7-2. Bob Allison's two-run hom er and Jimmie Hall's three run wallop offset homers by Al Kaline and Bill Bruton in Minnesota's victory over Detroit. Allison's 20th homer in the third put the Twins ahead, 4-1, and kayoed loser Bill Faul, while Hall's eighth homer came off reliever Tom Sturdivant in the sixth and put the game out of the Tigers' reach. Dick Stigman struck out nine and scattered eight hits before Bill Dailey came on in the ninth to nail down Stigman's seventh victory. Bob Johnson's single and Al Smith's double were the key blows for the Orioles in a two-run seventh-inning rally that took care of the Angels.

McKinley's opponent in Fri day's final will be the winner of today's semifinal match be tween Manuel Santana of Spain and Fred Stolle of Aus tralia. Santana ruled a slight fav orite over Stolle, who elimi nated Frank Foehling of Coral Gables, Fla., in the quarter finals. ' Chances for the first All- American final in the women's singles since 1957 improved Tuesday when Darlene Hard of Los Angeles and Billie Jean Moffitt of Long Beach, Calif., won their quarter - final matches. In Thursday's semifinals, Miss Hard will meet top-seeded Margaret Smith of Aus tralia in a rematch of last year's U.S. final at Forest Hills, N.Y., won by the power ful Aussie, and Miss Moffitt will play Ann Haydon-Jones of England. Miss Moffitt reeled off her second straight upset Tuesday when she whipped Maria Bueno, two - time champion from Brazil, 6-2, 7-5. The 22-year-old Callfornian surprised second-seeded Lesley Turner of Australia in the previous round. Miss Hard, a two-time run nerup here, strolled into the semifinals when Jan Lehane, another Aussie, twisted her ankle in the fourth game of the second set and had to re tire. Miss Hard won the open ing set, 6-1, but was trailing 1-2 in the second when Miss Lehane was injured.

For 15 dramatic innings, the 42-year-old Spahn called on all his cunning and pitched on dead even terms with the stronger and harder-throwing 25 -year -old Marichal, but Mays' 15th homer ended the league's finest pitching d :el MEBFORDelWrRIBUNB siPdDinnrs John Wheeler Loggers Win 2 Games at Albany A 1 b a n y John Wheeler Logging of Medford defeated Eugene Falkensteins 4 to 1 and Lake Grove 6 to 1 in the Albany Softball tourney last night and take on the Corval- AAU Track Under Way Tonight Kiioonp - lUPIl - Some of the top names in track and field readied today for the annual Oregon AAU championships Thursday at Haywara neia.

Marichal scattered eight hits and struck out 10 in post ing his 13th victory of the season and his ninth in a row. The defeat was doubly tough for Spahn. Not only did it snap his personal five game winning streak and rep resent his fourth loss against 11 victories, but it also nulli fied a valiant 14th inning ef fort in which he heroically pitched himself out of a jam by getting Ed Bailey on a fly ball for the final out with the bases full. It was the Giants' only oth er serious threat of the night against the Milwaukee vet- lis Merchants at 7.45 o'clock this evening.

Stuart, putting In his first season in the American league with the Boston Red Sox and leading the circuit's first base men in homers and runs bat ted in, finished second to Joe Pcpitone of the Yankees in the balloting by the players but was passed over by Houk. "It's tough to have a third- string catcher like Ralph Houk keep you off the All Star team," Stuart said, ac cording to the Boston Amer ican. "What would he know about how important it is be on an all - star team? never made one In his life All he ever did was sit the dugout." The Yankee manaser. who will handle the American league All-Star team in Cleve land on July s, was calm when he learned of Stuart's remarks but suddenly snap ped: In the last game of the recent Red Sox series here it was an important game and his own manager Johnny Pesky used a fellow by the name of Dick Williams at first base." Houk was upset over Stu art's criticism but tried his best to conceal his feelings. "I don't blame him for be ing mad," the Yankee man ager said at first. "I'm sorry he feels that way about it, but a manager can't always stick to the second choice in the balloting.
