KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE NINE Indians Whoop It Up, Yanks Win By FRED DOWN United Presi Sports Writer The New York Yankees' big win ter deal finally was paying off to day but a couple of little ones made by the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox may prove more important in deciding the American League pennant race. The Yankees were convinced they had "won' the pennant when they obtained Bob Turley and Don Larsen from Baltimore in that massive, 16-player transaction last Nov. IS and the big pitchers sud denly have stepped in to save Man ager Casey Stengel's buckling staff. They've accounted for five of the Yankees' lmt six victories and show a combined 17-11 mark for the year. But a pair of SIS. 000 deals Cleveland's acquisition of outfield er Hoot Evers and Chicago's of pitcher Connie Johnson are pay ing off, too, and could mean the flag for either the Indians or White Sox. The 34-year-old Evers delivered a three-run homer Thursday to give the Indians a 3-1 victory over the Detroit Ticers. The blow en abled the Indians to sweep their three-game series with the Tigers and to retain their two percentage point hold on first place. Evers' homer, his second for Cleveland in the month he's been with the team, came in the sixth inning off southpaw Billy Hoett and paved the way for Early Wynn to win his 14th game of the year and 198th of his career, wynn. wno struck out seven and allowed eight hits, needs only two more triumphs to Join teammate Bob Feller as the only active 200-game winners. 'ei. ler has won 265. Johnson, a 32-year old right hander recalled from Toronto in the International League little ove; A month ago. scored his fifth tri umph since July 4 as the White Sox crushed the Kansas City Ath letics, 14-1. Johnson, the team's biggest winner since he joined the White Sox, has been the. key man in making up for the loss of ailing 13-game winner Dick Donovan. His earned run average is a glittering 2.20 and he's pitched four complete Karnes. Jim Rivera sparked the White Sox' 16-hit attack with two triples and a double, driving in five runs and scoring four himself. Minnie By UNITED FKESS ' American League Player & Club G.

Instead of celebrating the 2,000th hit of his major league ca reer, shrugged it off instead today and said he was "sorry It had to be such a lousy one." The hit that enabled Williams to reach the milestone was a bloop .slntle that dropped in centerfield during the first inning of Thurs day's game between the Red Sox and Yankees. It was nit on boo Tuiiev. "I was looking forward to get ting it but I was hoping that nunv ber 2.000 would be a lot better one than that," added the curly- haired 36-year old Boston slugger. "The double I got in me nun Inning was a lot more like it, he said. "I hit that ball a lot better." - , Williams' 2 001st hit was a solid smash that bounced into the right field stands for a ground-rule dou ble but the hit before that put him in a class with Stan Musial of the Cardinals, Enos slaughter of 'he Athletics and Mickey Vernon of the Senators as the only men active in the majors who have made 2.000 or more hits. Only 96 players, including Williams, have collected that many hits in major league history. Eyed Fight PORTLAND lift Promoter Tommy Moyer eyed advance tick et sales Friday and predicted it Ihe weather holds good a crowd of from 12.000-15,000 v.ill be in Multnomah Stadium Saturday night for the nontltle bout between middleweight champion Bobo Ol son and Jimmy Martiner. oi Phoe nix. Ariz. Mover said "all but a handful' of 2,400 ringside seats have been sold and the demand for gallery scats is good. He looked for a gate reaching as high as S40.000. That prospect was further brightened Thursday when the threat of possible union picketing at the stadium was removed. President Bill Vay of the Port lmrt central Labor Council said the Motion Picture Theaters Union had threatened to picket the. sta dium in a dispute with Moyer who operates several drive-in theaters. Way said the council decided .israinst suDDOrting the picket threat after Moyer agreed to meet with the union on settlement of the dispute. Big Crowd For Olson The sole consolation for the Red Sox was Ted Williams' attainment of the 2,000-ait level with a first, inning single. The Red Sox. how ever, dropped three games on me pace and Manager Mike Higgms' strategy in starling rookie rrana Baumann in the big game was be ing sharply questioned. The $90,000 bonus pitcher yielded four runs in less than two innings in bis major league starting debut. In the heat of the American League race, brilliant achieve ments bv Ernie Banks of the Chi cago Cubs and Willard Schmidt of the St. Louis cardinals went al most unnoticed. Banks tied Vern Stephens' major league mark for shortstop by belt ing his 39th homer of the season as the Cubs bowed in 11 innings to the Cincinnati Redlegs, 6-5, and Schmidt, a 22-year old rookie brought up on July 12, pitched a one-hitter as the St. Louis Cardi nals drubbed the Milwaukee Braves 7-1 and 4-0. As a result, the Brooklyn Dodgers' lead over the Braves soared to 16 games and their "magic number" for pennant clinching dropped to 26. Emeralds Lose, 10-5 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wenatchee, Salem and Yakima hung up victories in the Northwest Baseball League Thursday night to furtner complicate the tight five-way scramble for Ihe loop's "second half" championship. The Wenatchee Chiefs clubbed Eugene 10-5 and shaved the Emer alds' first place margin over Idle Lewiston to half a game. The win lifted the Chiefs into a virtual tic with the Tri-City Braves, who lost 9-3 to Yakima, In third place, only two games back. The filth place Salem Senators kept pace with an 11-2 blasting of Spokane and took up a berth only three games out. A near-record crowd of 2.100 at Wenatchee watched the Chiefs make It three-out-of-four over Eu gene. Wenatchee started with a five-run first inning on two walks. two errors and Joe Rossi's bases loaded " triple. Art Prestun ac counted for two Eugene runs with a one-on 1-onier in the filth but Chuck Lundgren matched the feat for Wenatchee In the eighth. The 2,100-fan turnout brought the four game total attendance to 7,153 a new NWL series attendance mark. A six-run fifth inning helped Yakima to Its only win of the four-game series against Tri-City. Don Kenway was the victim. He walked the first two men to face him in the inning and went to the showers after Yakima benefited from a pair of errors, another walk and a single. Dick Green put out the fire after giving up another single. Three Salem home runs, two by Jack Steinagel, put the crusher on the Indians at Spokane. Bill Shields also homered for. the Senators and Eddie Murphy rapped a solo round-trlnper-for the Indiana - The teams change opponents Friday with Tri-City opening at Wenatchee, Salem at Lewiston and Eugene at Yakima.
