World Series by edging Oregon, 9-8,
In the final game of the five-day
meet Sunday.
The contest, an extra-inning
thriller, saw the lead swap hands
four limes before Oregon counted
two runs in the bottom of the sixth
to tie it all up at 8-8 only to
have the Washingtonians grab the
winning counter in the top of the
eighth stanza olt a triple by ten
fielder Cloy Sykes, and a two-out
error by second baseman Ed Tay
lor.
Oregon went down, onc-lwo-threc
In its last stand as some bril
liant fielding on the part of ccn-
terficldcr Sammy Hicks, shortstop
Tom Adams and second sackcr Bob
Woodard stifled any hope of
rally.
Credited with the victory for
Washington was Joe Goudeau, the
whip-like right hander, who had al
ready won one game in the tourn-
' a merit. Goudeau was the third of
three Washington chuckers, coming
into the contest in the last of the
sixth as relief for Kim Morgan
who had allowed one Oregon tally
and had placed two more run
tiers on the sacks with no outs.
Goudeau fanned three of the nine
men he faced and allowed only

Ttocky Nelson, who's flubbed a
half-dozen major league chances.
Is still adding slugging laurels to1
- his brilliant minor league record.
Nelson carved another notch of
, Triple-A fame for himself on Sun-
' day when he slammed his 351 h
homer of the season to break the
single-season record for a Toronto
player. The mark had been set
by Red Wingo in 1022. The 34
year - old Nelson also holds the
Montreal club record for homers
of 37 which he established in 1955.
Among his many other Interna
tional League feats, Nelson is the
only player to win that circuit s
most valuable player crown twice
and in 1955 he won the triple bat
ting crown.
Despite Nelson's record-break-!
Ing homer, the Leafs lost the
opener of a doublcheader to Mi
ami, 8-2. The second contest was
called after four innings because
of the Toronto curfew and will be
replayed at a later dale. The second-place
Leafs are now 3'4
games behind the league-leading
Montreal Royals.

a tall sacrifice fly that scored one
run during his stint.
Morgan entered the game to re
place starter Tom Schuh who had
permitted Oregon to score two
runs early in the last half of the
fourth to take its second lead.
Schuh gave up four hits, five
walks and fanned two while Mor
gan was reached for two hits,
passed three and also fanned two.
Charged with Oregon's defeat was
Sonny Payne who moved from sec
ond base to the mount with one
nut in the top of the fifth canto
to take over for starter Jim War
ren. Warren allowed five hits, five
walks and struck out one and the
Washingtonians got to Payne for
four more hits and one walk.
Payne also struck out one.
Washington got things under way
in the top of the first as they
counted two tallies off a single
by Sykes, a fielder's choice, a base
on balls and a double by Woodard,
The lead held until the bottom
of the second when Oregon bounced
hack with three runs off a pair
of free passes, an error and a sting
ing triple by Payne.
The champs evened the count in
the third as consecutive walks
were followed by a single by cen
ter fielder Hicks.
Oregon look command again in
the bottom of the frame as right
holder Rick Crane led off with a
double which was followed by a
pair of walks and a single by
catcher Red Phillips that got boot
ed around the outfield. It was at
this point that Schuh headed for
the showers.
This lead was only temporary.
however, as Washington lashed
back with four markers in the
top of the fourth to go ahead 8-6.
Rack to back singles by Woodard,
shortstop Adams, and right fielder
Les Kero plus an Oregon miscue,
did the damage.
In the sixth, Oregon caught up
one more lime as they punched
two runs across as Phillips notched
his second single with two men
aboard via free passes, and Clint
ntzhugh powered a long sacn
fice fly to left field.
At this point the wily Goudeau
took over and relegated Oregon
to the runnerup role.

Oregonians with his two singles
