Red Sox Win Over Twins 7-4 On Stuart's Three-Run Blast By FRED DOWN UP! Sporti Writer New York Yankee manager Ralph Houk may have done the Boston Red Sox a favor when he snubbed Dick Stuart for the American League All Star team. Houk apparently not only stirred up the hottest contro versy of the 1963 All-Star game but also lit a fire under the big first baseman. In any event, Stuart re turned from the two-day va- cation resulting from the snub with a pair of homers and five runs batted in, that paced the Red Sox to a 7-4, 10-inning victory over the Minnesota Twins Wednesday night. Stu art's second homer was a three-run, loth-inning wallop that ended Minnesota relief ace Bill Dailey's string of 24 consecutive scoreless innings. Stuart's first homer in the fourth inning was his first , round tripper since June 20, and the two runs he knocked in were the first for him since June 28. The two homers and five runs batted in for the night increased his season to tals in those departments to 19 and 55. Wins Ninth Game Dick Radatz, who was re moved for a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning after shutting out the Twins on one hit for three innings, received credit for his ninth win against one loss. The victory moved the Red Sox into third place and dropped the Twins into fifth. The Los Angeles Dodgers nipped the New York Mets, , 1-0, the Philadelphia Phillies drubbed the San Francisco Gi ants, 10-2, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Chicago Cubs, 3-1, and the Houston Colts beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 in the National league. Stuart and Lou Clinton hit home runs and Frank Malzone contributed an RBI-double to the Red Sox' fourth inning outburst. Bob Allison hit his 22nd homer of the year for Minnesota in the fourth and the Twins tied the score with two more runs in the sixth. The other eight AL teams were idle. Johnny Podres pitched a three-hitter for his fourth shutout and seventh win and batterymate John Roseboro homered in the eighth inning as the Dodgers increased their NL lead to four games with their eighth victory in nine games. Left -fielder Tommy Davis saved the win by start ing a game-ending double play with an electrifying catch of the true old-style Kentucky Bourbon always smoother becausa It'a alow-distilled itittcM itiinnt ! mitt m moot Frank Thomas ninth-inning bid for a two-run homer. Carl ton Willey was the unlucky loser for the Mets, who have lost II consecutive games. Pace Phils' Attack Roy Sievers had three hits and Don Demeter, Johnny Cal lison and Tony Gonzalez two each to lead the Phillies' 14 hit attack. Errors by Jose Pagan and Willie McCovey paved the way for two three run Philadelphia rallies that brought Cal McLish his ninth win and Billy O'Dell his fifth defeat. McCovey and Orlando Cepeda hit homers for the Giants. Joey Jay, already a 12-game loser, flashed his 21-victory form of 1961 and 1962 by striking out 10 and yielding seven hits in 8 13 innings against the Cubs. Marty Keough's two-run triple in the first inning was the big blow for the Reds against Glen Hobbie. The victory was only Jay's fourth. Relief star Hal Woodeshick struck out Smoky Burgess with the bases filled in the eighth inning to preserve the Colt victory for Ken Johnson. The Colts got both their runs in the first inning on Ernie Faxio's double, a bunt single by Al Spangler, extending his hitting streak to 14 games, Pete Runnels' single and Carl Warwick's forceout.

MEDFORirvTRIBUNl Schlee, Sikes In Public Links Tourney By HAL WOOD Sacramento, Calif.-IUPD-John Schlee, a towering salesman from Memphis, Tenn., kept a date with destiny today when he tangled with defending champion Dick Sikes in the third round of the National Public Links Golf tournament. Schlee, as hot as the 90- degree-plus weather Wednes- Majors Cut On Bonus Handouts By NORMAN MILLER New York-fllPD-High school and college baseball whiz kids have found out that the major league giveaway pro gram has drastically cut down on its prizes. Bonus payments to young prospects are down approxi mately 75 per cent from the past few free-spending sea sons, a United Press Interna tional survey showed today. So far, Jeff Torborg, Rutg ers University catcher, is the only $100,000 bonus baby in the 1963 graduating class. The 21-year-old Torberg, who won the national collegiate batting championship with a .537 average, signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and is playing for Albuquerque in the Texas League. Dave Bennett (ex-Y r e k a high), younger pitching brother of the Philadelphia Phillies' Dennis Bennett, and Wally Bunker, a high school hurler from San Bruno, Calif., are next in line with $75,000 bonuses. Bennett signed with the Phils. Bun ker collected his loot from the Baltimore Orioles. Bonuses Drop Off After these top three, the bonuses drop off to around $50,000, although most youngsters are settling for $10,000 to $20,000 induce ments to turn pro this sum mer. That is far short of the $125,000 to $150,000 bonan zas paid in 1961 to Bob Bai ley by the Pittsburgh Pi rates, and to Bob Garibaldi by the San Francisco Giants last year. The big reason for the de' cane in bonus handouts is the first-year draft rule, which was pushed by the "have not" clubs to curb such lavish spending. Meanwhile, the "have" clubs like the New York Yan kees, Milwaukee Braves and Dodgers complain that the rule is "socialistic" and an unwarranted curb on their efforts to sign good talent. The deterrent in the rule is this: All first-year players must be promoted to the par ent club's roster by the end of the season in which they are signed; and only one such player can be optioned to the minors during first-year status. A first-year player not pro moted to the parent club's roster becomes subject to the December draft at price of $12,000 or $8,000. Gorky Will Go Against Whitewolf Soldat Gorky, the rough and tough Russian Wolf Killer, has been signed to meet Billy Whitewolf in the lower half of a double main event wrest ling card at Medford armory on Thursday night, July 18. Gorky has run roughshod over several opponets here re cently but he might meet his come- uppance against the burly Oklahoma Indian, who only last week won the north west heavyweight champion ship by whipping Mad Dog Vachon. The top half of the twin main event will mark the in troduction of the great Tony Borne to southern Oregon mat fans. Borne, who recently moved his family from Texas to Oregon, will attempt to lift the Pacific Coast junior heavy weight championship from the brow of Rocky Columbo. Both matches will be for 45 minutes with the best two out of three falls deciding the winner. One other match, featuring Abe Jacobs, the New Zealand flash, will complete the card, which will get under way at 8:30 p.m. Ringside reserved seat tick et will go on sale at Lam port's Sporting Goods store in Medford on Saturday. MEDFORD Collide day when he was seven un der par while winning two matches, has been waiting for two years to get another crack at the all-conquering Sikes. "He beat me in the semi finals in 1961," said Schlee. "The score was 2-1. But I'm playing much better. I've been waiting a long time to get even." Sikes, who also owns the NCAA championship, was four under par in trouncing Dave Hellman, Waukegan, 111., 6 and 5, and then beating John Kurach, Detroit, 5 and 4. Schlee turned back Jim Mc Murtrey, San Leandro, Calif., 3 and 2, and then walloped Paul Franke, Louisville, Ky., 5 and 4. Sixteen Tea Off There were 16 men who teed off In eight matches this morning and there will be only four left when the quarter-finals are completed to night. Among the men who could be mighty tired by then is John Sniffen, a 27-year-old Hawaiian playing out of Ever ett, wash., where he is a sergeant in the Air Force. Sniffen went seven extra holes before beating Hung Soo Ahn, another Hawaiian, on the 25th hole in the first round match.' Maris To Have Surgery Friday New York lupn The New York Yankees, who have been looking forward to the return of Mickey Mantle, today faced the loss of Roger Maris for an estimated 10 days. Maris will undergo minor surgery Friday at Lenox Hill hospital for a rectal fissure, The operation will be per formed by Dr. John Donald son of the hospital staff. Mantle has been out of the Yankee lineup since June when he suffered a broken left foot in a game at Ball! more. He planned to rejoin the club today at Los An geles but may not be ready to play for several more days. Maris and Mantle have played together in only 23 of the Yankees' 81 games this season. Maris pulled a ham string muscle in his left thigh during spring training and missed the first seven games of the season. He has since been sidelined several times with a bad back.

John Rose boro, left, hit the game-winning home run while Johnny Podres, center, pitched the Tommy Davis Makes Invisible Catch to Spark Surprise Double New York - (UPD - Johnny Podres thought he was trudg ing off the field in defeat but Instead walked right into the middle of a game-ending dou ble play that brought him his seventh victory of the season. The surprise ending to the Los Angeles Dodgers' 1-0 win over the New York Mets Wednesday night resulted from a catch by left-fielder Tommy Davis that can be described as sensational or Invisible depending upon whgre you happened to be in the Polo Grounds. Pinch runner Al Jackson was on first base and one man was out when Podres deliver ed the pitch to Frank Thomas. Thomas hit it on a soaring line toward the left field stands and Jackson took off from first base with his head down. Podres took one look toward left field. Then he, too, put his head down and started to walk toward the center field clubhouse. Funny Thing "I thought it was gone, he said. "I would have bet any thing it was a homer." Podres had reached second base in his mournful journey toward the clubhouse when a funny thing happened: The ball came flying in from the outfield practically into Pod res' glove. Davis, leaping high against the fence In a haze cf smoke and light that made him prac tically invisible from many points in the park, had hauled down the ball Thomas was already around first base. Jackson was near ing third. And there was Pod res at second base Johnny on the spot when Davis throw came out of the haze, Podres made the catch of the relay in what was almost self defense and then tossed the bail to first-baseman Ron Fairly to complete the game- ending double play. No pro at bat. Leadership was deter mined on the basis of at least 18 batting turns. Tru-Mix Bats .279 Harold Jordan, Keith Schulz Garage, was next with .415 for 41 turns at bat. Jerry Fields, Tru-Mixt followed with 381 for 21 times up. Tru-Mix led in team batting with a .279 average. Among the pitchers Ron Weatherford, Tru-Mix, had a 3-0 record.
