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

in making up for the loss of ailing

Ted Bloops
2,000th Hit .
NEW YORK (UP Ted Wil
Hams. 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.

Tommy Moyer eyed advance tick

Ihe weather holds good a crowd

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.

Wenatchee, Salem and Yakima

Chuck Lundgren matched the feat
for Wenatchee In the eighth. The

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.
