Yankees'

By ED COUR1GAN
The American League pennant
chase is developing into a war of
nerves.
Cleveland Manager Al Iiopez
Bays he isn't afraid of the Chicago
White Sox. . . . Haven't got the
pitching to last out the long sea
son. . . . More concerned with the
pjew York Yankees. . . . But the
Tribe still has the better club.
Chicago Manager Paul Richards
merely shrugs off last month, when
his club went into first place. . . .
He expected it all along. . . . The
Pale Hose is the team to lick the
Yanks, he says.
New York Manager Casey Sten

' ine up at the other two hoping
thev'd eat each other.
Right now, it appears that Sten

true. Last week, the Indians swept
the Sox four straight games. Had

away of the race. But the Sox won
all four, finishing operations with
3.0. 8-2 double victory yesterday
The Yanks, who have been tak
ing advantage of the second divi
sion clubs, won their ninth in a
row and 12th in their last 14 by
plugging the Washington Senators
7-3 to climb within half a game
of the Indians. The White Sox are
three games back as me cnase con
tlnues to tighten.
Billy Pierce, back for the White
snv a Her beino- sidelined with
sore arm, tossed a two-hitter in the
first game shutout yesterday and
vireil Trucks came back in the
nitrhtcaD to hold the Tribe to five
hits. Until the Indians got to Trucks
for two runs in the nintn. incy
had gone 23 innings withouut scor
ing a run.
Minnie Minoso hit a two-run ho
mer and Matt Batts hit one with
none on to account for all the first
game scoring. In the afterpiece,
bonus rookie Ron Jackson homered
with two on in the third. That was
nil Trucks needed. Ray Narleski
was lagged with the first-game loss
and Bob Lemon the second.
Except for the seventh inning,
when Bob Orlm loaded the bases
with none out, the Yanks had no
particular problems with the Sen
ators. Johnny Sain came In to res
cue the youngster, who got credit
for his 10th success.
In other American Lengue action.
Detroit whipped Baltimore 2-1 and
the Boston Red Sox won a double
header from the Philadelphia A's
18-0 and 11-1.
The National League action left
the New York Giants still 6'i
games in front of the 'Brooklyn
Dodgers. The Giants thumped
Pittsburgh 13-7 in the first game
of a double-header, but dropped
the second 5-1. Brooklyn edged
Philadelphia 8-7 in the first game
of a twin bill but lost the second
3-1.
Cincinnati and Milwaukee split
a double-header, the Redlegs tak
ing the first 6-5 and the Braves
winning the second by an Identical
6-5 count. St. Louis nipped Chic
ago 4-3 In the other National
League game.
Al Aber. who retired the first
17 Baltimore batters, needed help
from Billy Hoeft and Steve Gromek
to protect his victory after Jim
Fridley hit a home run in the
eighth. The winning margin was
provided by rookie second baseman
Reno Bertoia, who got his first
major league hit a home run
in the fourth.
The Red Sox moved into sixth
place from the American League
cellar by virtue of their double
triumph over the A's. They had 40
hits, including four by Ted Wil
liams, who now is batting .367.
The A's lost Gus Zernial, prob
ably for the season, when the big
outfielder slioped and broke his
left collarbone while attempting to
field a line drive in the ninth on-
ing of the first game. Tom Brewer
and Frank Sullivan were me win
ning pitchers.
The Oiants massacred the Pir.
ates on six home runs including
No. 31 bv Willie Mays in the first
game. But in the second. Dick Lit
tlefield. who rarely could get
American League batters out dur
ing his tpnure with St. Louis, De
troit. Boston and Chicago, snuffed
them. The same was close until
the Pirates broke It open with
Hired runs In the eighth. Jim
Hearn -was the victim.
The Dodgers had their troubles
with the Phils. They dissipated
six-run bulge in the first game
and finally had to win It in the
eichth on doubles bv Billy Cox and
Junior Gilliam. Earlier, Gil Hodges
had clouted two home runs ana
Carl Purillo, one. But Carl Erskine
couldn't stand the prosperity and
the vhWi lied It with six in the
eighth.
The Kprnnri came was tied at
1-1 eouie into the seventh inning.

Dodgers Discussed
Over Make-up Game
By GAVLE TALBOT
NEW YORK vB Everything's
happening to the Brooklyns at once.
Immediately after tomorrow's All
Star Game at Cleveland Manager
Walt Alston's shell-shocked crew
must head for Milwaukee to play
off a postponed game the follow
ing night, and the club is burning
about it.
There is an agreement that no
games will be played in either
league on the days beiore and aft
er the All-Star tussle, bm a series
of early-season rainouts at Mil
waukee has made it necessary to
get in the game on Wednesday or
risk losing it entirely.
Ordinarily those players who are
not chosen for the midseason fix
ture can look forward to a three
day vacation, and the Dodgers in
their present state could use some
relaxation. There was even talk
that they might protest to the
players' association and refuse to
play the game, but Vice President
Buzz Bavasl put a stop to that
with the quiet remark:
They don't have to play if they
don't want to. We don't have to
pay them either."
fir the comnarative fiasco at
Wimbledon, it can be put down as
certain that there will be no pro
fessional tour next fall. A new lace
was needed, and that of Jaroslva
Drobny. the left-handed Czech who
dffeated little Ken Roscwall in the
final of the British classic, will not
fill the bill.
It was anticipated, with excellent
reason, that Tony Trabert would
sign a money contract if he was
successful both at Wimbledon and
Forest Hills this summer, but his
defeat by Rosewall in the semi
finals washed that up. There is no
other real prospect in sight.
Drobny is so little thought of
on this side that it is doubtful he
will be offered any special Induce
ment to play In our Nationals. It is
reported he will be olfered the cus
tomary transportation and 15 per
day board money on a take-it or
leave it basis. No selfrespecting
Wimbledon king would play even
an exhibition for that kind of
money.
False Application
Charge Brings Fine
A Bellingham, Washington angler
was fined $25.00 plus $5.00 court
costs last Wednesday in a Medford
court after pleading guilty to a
charge of false application ot an
Oregon angler's license.'
According to federal game offi
cials Charles Sessions, age 58.
made false statements while pur
chasing his license.
He was apprehended at Grass
Lake on July 4 by federal and
stale officers, while making a rout

In PCL Lead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hollywood's pennant - hungry
stars, still two and a half game
atop the Pacific Coast League
heap, are not over-confident as
they open a series Monday night
with the lowly Portland Beavers.
The chief reason Is the bat of
Beaver outfielder Granville Glad
stone, who has been hitting .220.
In Sunday's doubleheader with
Oakland, Gladstone slammed a
three-run homer In each game to
pace his club to 4-3 and 4-0 victor
ies. These gave Portland the ser
ies 4-3.
Actually, Ihe Beavers got only
three hits In each contest. Third
place Oakland collected a total of
15, but couldn't combine them Into
runs.
Young Dick Waibel shut out the
Oaks in the nightcap for the sec
ond time in the series. The feat
ran his string of scoreless pitch
ing Innings to 27. Reliefer Dick
Fielder was the winning hurlcr for
the Beavers in the opener.
Hollywood split a pair with Se
attle but managed to hang onto the
two and a half game loop lead,
because second ranking San
Diego also shared victories with
San Francisco.
Hollywood whipped Seattle 6-1 In
the opener, but bowed 0-6 in the
second game. In the first game,
Dale Long broke up a 1-all tie in
the sixth with his 16th homer of
the season, good for three runs.
Seattle's lone run was scored when
Ray Ortelg drove in Clarence Mad
dcrn, who had tripled.
In Ihe 7-inning afterpiece, Rain
ier Tommy Byrne blanked the
Stars, yielding five blows.
The Ralnlers got off lo a fast
start in the second game with two
runs in the second on Jack Buko
wata' double with the bags packed.
San Francisco, which tangles
Monday night with Sacramento,
lost a 5-3 series with San Diego
by splitting the Sunday twin bill
with the Padres.
The Padres played badly In the
first contest, committing seven er
rors in bowing 10-2.

handers at least during the first
three innings.
Based on the starting lineups,
which are predominantly right
handed, and by process of elimina
tion, the field narrowed down to
Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia
Phillies and Bob Kecgan ot the
Chicago White Sox as the opposing
hurlers. Both will be well rested
by Tuesday. Keegan has done no
pitching since Friday, nor has
Roberts except for a brief jnopup
Job Sunday.
The only olher well rested pit
chers are the Yankees' Whitey
Ford and the New York Oiants
Johnny Antonelll. Milwaukee's Jim
Wilson, who replaced the Injured
Harvey Haddix, does not figure to
start. Ford and Antonelll are left
handers. Roberts, although soorllmr &
subpar (for him) 11-8 record this
season, is a veteran All-Star com
petitor. He was the starting pit
cher in three of the last four games
all winning ones for the National
League. Keegan (12-31, a sopho
more, is enjoying his first out
standing season In the majors.
Stengel, the all-winning World
Series wonder, who has vet to
triumph in four All-Star games as
manager, may upset the dope and
start Ford against the National
League lineup, which Is packed
with left-handed power as repre
sented by Stan Mus al. . Duke
Snider and Ted Kluszewski. But
Ford (7-6i has had a spottv season.
Dean Stone of Washington, his
only other available southpaw, it
strictly a gamble.
All Stengel's right-handers, with
the exception of Keegan, worked
either Saturday night or yesterday.
Baltimore's Bob Turlcy, Cleve
land's Bob Lemon and the White
Sox' Virgil Trucks pitched yester.
day. Washington's Bob Porterfleld
and Consuegra were on the mound
Saturday.
Alston appears in a belter way
for pitching. Should Roberts start.
his second pitcher. In all likelihood.
will be Antonelll, whoso 13-2 record
Is'the best In cither league. After
Antonelll, the Brooklyn pilot can
come back with Marv Grlssom,
the Giants' ace relief right-hander,
or southpaw Warren Spahn, Mil'
waukee's veteran southpaw, who
has three All-Star game perform
ances under his belt. Spahn
pitched Saturday.
Right-hander Gene Conley of Mil
waukee and Carl Erskine of Brook
lyn, who saw action yesterday,
don't figure to be called on unless
absolutely needed. Wilson also
pitched yesterday.
