    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.

Schlee, Sikes
In Public Links Tourney

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.

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.
