OREGON PAGS THIRTEEN M sows mm imp da Tribe Widens Lead Over Yanks; Giants Victorious Brooklyn Maintains NL Pace Bv BEN PHI.EOAR ; AP Sports Writer Somebody must have forgotten1 to tell the Chicago White Sox they are out ol the American League pennant race. The go-go boys are back In high gear with a five-game whining streak and breezing as if they thought they still had a chance. Mathematically, they're right tip fieures show the Sox still nuld overhaul both the. second- place New York Yankees and the league-leading Cleveland Indians. Thev are five games behind New York, 8'i back of Cleveland. But the chances are remote. The White Sox's recent record, however, shows eight victories in their last 10 starts and a highly re-l tpectablc .642 percentage. That's a better average than any White Sox team has attained since 1917 and would have beaten the Yankees out of the pennant in four of the last five seasons. Two of the team's brightest . stars sparkled in last night's 8-2 victory at nptrnit. Virgil Trucks struck out six ana , K-attered nine hits in becoming the first American League pitcher to win 18 games. Minnie Minoso moved within five points of the league batting lead with a run scoring triple that raised his aver age to .331. Cleveland defeated Baltimore 1-2 .and gained a full game on the Yan kees whose 10-game winning streak .was ended by Wlllnrd Nixon and th- Boston Red Sox 4-3. Nixon is the first pitcher to. beat New York four times this season. : Milwaukee slipped another full length behind New York and Brooklyn In the National League. The Braves were beaten for the third time in four games, 3-1 by Chicago. New York defeated Pitts burgh 4-0 and Brooklyn whipped Philadelphia 6-4.

The Giants scored all of their run3 against Pittsburgh on a grand ' slam home run by Don Mueller in the filth Innins!. It was the second bases-loaded homer of his career for Mueller who specializes in hit ting singles.

CLAYTON HANNON, Sports Editor Tribute Paid To Hodges For Blow By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK tin There was con siderable excitement in the Brook lyn Dodgers' clubhouse after- the game In which Gil Hodges had boosted his 200th home run into the stands. Flash bulbs flickered as the popular first baseman's teammates crowded around to congratulate him. . It was a justly deserved tribute, for not too many batters reach the magic figure in a full career these days. Hodges, at 30, had aone u m ms seventh lull Dig league season, and he could look forward, if extremely lucky, to at least approaching the 400 mark betore cleaning out his locker. When the noise had subsided and the last picture been snapped, the happy slugger wandered over and sat beside Duke Snider, who also whales a long ball and likely will become a 200 man sometime next season. The Duke was looking thoughtful.- "Oee, Gil," he Said, "how in the world "do you suppose a man ever hit over 500 homers In the big leagues? It doesn't seem possi ble, does it?" "Don't ask me." said Hodees, losing the fine edge of his elation, "there must have been something different from now. How many did the Babe hit?" He was advised, after quick re search, that Ruth had blasted total of 714 four-baggers during his 22 fabulous years in the majors, and that Mclvln Ott, over a like span with the Giants, had collect ed 511 to establish the National League record. Both Dodgers mar veled. , .. v. t "There had to be something dif ferent." Snider insisted. "No man, I don't care how great a hitter ho is. can ever hone to set records - pl&ce, you can't hope to play that long: these days, not with night baseball. It takes it out of you. There's no moral or anything. Just a couple of modern ballplay ers feeling futile. Although the Baltimore Orioles stand at least an even chance of winning fewer games than they did last season as the St. Louis Browns, General Manager Art Enters denies that he has any thought of sacking Jimmy Dykes and replacing him ' with Chuck Dressen or anyone else before the next campaign. "We gave Jimmy a last-place club to work with and we can't blame him for what's-happened," Ehlers says, reasonably. "I think he has gotten everything any man ager could have out of the plavers he . has.

PCL Race Knotted As Padres Win By THE ASSOCIATED PltESS For the first time since May 20, the Hollywood Stars have yielded sole occupancy of first place in the Pacific Coast League and and share it Saturday with San: Diego's Padres. , j Champions of the league tot the last two years and tabbed for a run-away repeat this season, the Stars are taking their lumps these days and are in the worst slump they've had since the first two weeks of the campaign. Hollywood lost Us second in a row Friday night to Los Angeles. 2-1, in a 15-inning thriller that lasted three hours, 38 minutes. A home run by Angel catcher Al Evans settled the issue. He belted southpaw Rog Bowmnn's first pitch ovpr the left center iield wa'l at Wrigley Field. , San Dieeo meanwhile was divid ing a double header with Sacra mento to pull even with the Stars. The red hot Seattle Ralniers ex- tended their winning streak to eight games as they downed Poru land, 4-2. Bob Hall did an excellent job lor eignt innings, out needed help in the ninth from Bill Evans and Steve Nagy. Dick Fiedler went the route for Portland. Although Hollywood has lost nine of its last 12 games, San Diego seemed somewhat reluctant to take advantage of the situation. The Padres won the opener Fri day night on Earl Rapp's eighth inning home:, 4-3.' The blow score Luke Easter ahead of him. San Dleso rallied for three runs In the seventh and final Inning of the nightcap to tie the score, 3-all. but Merrill Combs hit a homer in Sacramento's half for the 5-4 win. Easter got his 11th homer In the first 1 game with Dick Sisler aboard. Rapp's homer was his lath. Hank Schenz hit his 10th in the filth. San Francisco whipped Oakland, 4-2, as Bob Hughes took over for Bill Bradford after Spider Joi gen sen had swatted a homer in the first inning and allowed only one hit thereafter. XI Gcltel, who worked seven innings, was charged with the loss.

LAZY SUE "Tomorrow's Spud Picker Todov!" LEWIS MFG. CO. Spectators Remember Jim Peters By JACK IIEWINS SEATTLE ( The ordeal of Jim Peters in the British Empire Games marathon will forever haunt everyone who saw the Agony Man. from Essex stumble, stagger and tumble all over the track in a futile hunt for the finish' line. "If it had been my dog," said Jack Sullivan, sports editor of the Canadian Press, "I'd have shot the poor thing to put it, out of Us misery." A lot of the spectators thought the same; many didn't. You can sympathize with Peters, even pity him. but he went into the race with his eyes open and was no rookie at the running game. He had been galloping for nigh onto 16 years. When you consider '.lis training schedule you wonder when he ever took time for any Ihing else. He tried to average 1T, miles of cantering per day, 7 days per week, bat was able to run only 5.4U0 miles in a year of preparing for his big effort r.t Vancouver. Over the years he had matched the circumference of the earth, just training. Peters was ready; he merely miscalculated his own endurance in the .strength-sapping sun. The bbject of all running be yond the sprint distances, from 440 yards up to the marathon's 26 miles and 365 yards, is to reach the limit of endurance the instant you hit the finish line. Roger Ban nister accomplished it when he beat John Landy In the mile. No sympathy was asked or given when he collapsed across the iinish strinsr. Peters knew exactly how far he had to run. Berore the race he even measured the course, found It a few yards too long and in sisted the officials correct it, which they did. But Peters miscalculated nis own strength by about 300 yards. He ran out of gas as he came through' the stadium gate for the las', swing around the track. 20 minutes ahead of Joe McGhee of Scotland. His legs turned to rub ber and he snt on the cindered sidehill, looking surprised and sheepish. Will power kept picking him up and pushing him on as he fell, groveling in agony, time after lime. That seine will 'power would have kept driving him to the final line or to death had not an English trainer grabbed h I m which amounted to disqualifica tion. Tlie agony of Jim Peters will be remembered forever by the sports world, which already has forgot- I ten the name of the man who won ' the race. You can expect Enpland to dom inate the distance events in the next Olympics and for a good many years to come, J. Bull's dis tance men all train like Peters did. running mile after gruelling mile, day after day. At the Empire Games the Eng lish finished 1-2-3 In the six-mile and three-mile races, but the most astounding part of H was the win ners' finishing kick. After running 5 miles Peter Driver went the Inst quarter In 58.7 seconds. Chris Chataway ran the final 220 of the three-mile in 26 seconds. John Larttly was the only dis tance man in the Games to bent Driver's tirne or a quarter, cover ing the first lap of the mile in 58 flat. Nobody topped Chataway's closing 220.

And that's what challenger Rocky Cas tellan! . said. Both were talking about last night's title fight In the Cow Palace. 'It was more of a slip" when he sat down for a three-count in the 11th, Olson said after his success ful 15-round title defense. "Our feet tangled and I got hit at the same time." Castellanl was down for the nine count In the 12th, but Insisted he could have gotten up at the count of two. "I thought I had him,' said Ol son, "but he was too strong. "Olson Is a great champion. Rocky said. "Rocky was in great condition and he Is a fine countcrpuncher," said Olson. Castellani's' manager,"- At Nai man. said Olson Is "a great cham pion" but is "purely a mechanical fighter who Is always In good con dition." Nalman made some 'rather vague remarks about bringing suit against the champion Bnd his man ager, Sid Flaherty, to have the title vacated and given to castei lnni because Olson didrtt make the 160-pound limit at the 10 a.m. weigh-In.

Rocky Castellanl of Cleveland. Balding Bobo of San Francisco' captured a unanimous decision over the 28-year-old Rocky last night in a 15-round nationally tel evised battle that was spirited, it not spectacular, and highly dra matic In at least six minutes of the struggle. .. ; Olsop is richer by $128,000. his guarantee from Castellani's man ager, Al Naiman. The 26-year-old native of Hono ' lulu said he plans to continue fight ing In the middleweight ranks de spite the trouble he had making the weight limit. Castellanl, defeated lor only the sixth time in 63 fights, had a date with a doctor tills morning. Dr. A. Lastrettl, physician for the State Athletic Commission, said Rocky fractured a bone in his left hand. rresumaoiy the mishap oc curred in the second round when Bobo caught one of Rooky's swings on his elbow. The break was never evident to the crowd because Rocky kept throwing leather whether he landed or not. Highlights of the fight were packed in the llth and 12th rounds. As they came out for the llth Rocky let fly with a right and be fore anyone realized It, the startled champion was sitting on the seat of his pants. Rocky tripped over Olson's leg and his glove touched the canvas, but he was up im mediately. Bobo scumbled as quickly as ne couia to nis feet, which required a three-count, and proceeded to give Rocky all he could handle for the rest of the round. Bobo claimed later that their feet got tangled up and he was caught and'hlt off balance. ' In the 12th Bobo applied ft Crusher. A long overhand right found Rocky's jaw and sent liim . crashing to the canvas. The game Rocky needed and. tcok a nine-count, and to his credit, fought out the round like a wound ed tiger.
