Sure, Newk had won 27 in 1856. but he was washed up, hadn't been able to win 20 over two sea ions since. So who's the ace of the Reds ataff? Big Newk, winner of six etraight. all complete games, with 3.00 earned run average and 4-0 Major League Stars By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pitching Art Ditmar, Yan kees, gave up only four hits for J-l victory over the White Sox, walking but one. striking out four and allowing only a pair of singles over the final eight innings. Hitting Don Hoak, Pirates, had three hits in four trips break ing a 1-1 tie with a two-out, two run double in the ninth inning for 5-2 victory over the Cubs. DON NEWCOMBE . . . Giant killer gainst the slugging San Francis co Giants after he chopped them clown' again Tuesday night 2-1. It was Newcombe's seventh vic tory of the season, matching his total for last year when he lost 13. This one slipped the Giants two games behind the National League leading Milwaukee Braves who came off with a 5-4 victory at Los Angeles. . Pittsburgh tightened its hold on third, just a game behind the Giants, by beating the Chicago tuns 5-2. at. Louis swept a twi night pair from Philadelphia, 8-1 and 5-2. Reds 2, Giants 1 Newk, who hasn't lost since he dropped his fourth May 10, stretched the Giants slump to three games with a six-hitter. walking none and striking out three. The sixth-place Reds didn't give him a lead until they roughed ' up Mike McCormick for both runs in the eighth inning on Vada Pin ton's 11th homer, a single by Frank Robinson and a double by Frank Thomas. The Giants scored in the third n Hobie Landrith's double, a sacrifice and Jim Davenport's sacrifice fly. It's the only run Newk has allowed in 18 innings. Braves 5, Bums 4 Lew Burdette won his 10th for the Braves, but failed to go the distance for the fifth time in a row when the Dodgers, shut out for seven frames, scored twice in the ninth. John Roseboro's double and a walk brought on reliever Don McMahon, who gave up a two-run single by Charlie Neal be fore getting Wally Moon on a pop up that ended it. Moon, who was 4-for-5, had tripled home a run and scored himself in a two-run tighth. Pirates 5, Cubs 2 Bob Friend (34) won it fir the Pirates, who broke a 1-1 tie with four runs after two were out in the ninth.

Hal Smith homered in the owner for the Cards and Gino Cimoli hit a two-run homer in the first inning of te nightcap, clinched on Stan Musial's triple in the lourth. Colavito. Guessing Credited BOSTON (AP) Minnie Minoso. whose booming bat has helped Cleveland regain the American League lead, today credited right guesses and Rocky Colavito for his current spree. The hottest batsman in the ma jors these .days, the Cuban out fielder who admits to 35 years is the kingpin in the Indians' seven- game winning streak which has shot them a full game past Chi cago in the AL race. In those seven contests, Minoso has belted four homers including a grand slam, driven in 15 runs to place among the league leaders (42), and hit the ball at a .387 clip. His average has climbed 19 points to .303. "It's just that I guess pitches better right now," said Minnie. "Sometime you can figure what pitcher will throw pretty good,' explained the lifetime .307 hitter in his 10th major league season "Other times you wrong . plenty. Now I figure pitches right." Minoso also figures it helps to be fifth in the batting order, right behind Colavito who has hit six homers and raised his average to .299 in the winning streak. "Maybe I get better pitches now because other teams are so care ful with Colavito," Minnie said "When he walk, the pitchers throw good to me. I always hit more bad pitches than good ones in past. . I sure hope I can hit behind Colavito for rest of the year." Minoso was held hitless in Tues day night's 4-1 victory over Bos ton but walked twice. In the sixth inning he chased Jackie Jensen back to the bullpen wall in right center. Considerable dugout ribbing was aimed at Minoso for worrying about being traded before the June 15 deadline. "1 not worried about anything. Minoso said. "If I sent home. I worry. If 1 sent to anotner ciuo. I no worry. I play ball anywhere McLish Victor Over Sox By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Cleveland's Indians are riding their hottest streak of the season and Cat McLish is back in stride a winner for the first time in more than a month, but still trying to shake a shutout jinx.

Today's Sport Parade Missing Walks Fox's Trouble NEW YORK (AP) Nellie Fox, annual contender but never a win ner, is convinced he'll never cap ture a batting title. "Naw, I'll never win," said the veteran Chicago White Sox second baseman. VI just don't get enough walks. I come out of the dugout swinging. "Look it up and you'll see that I've had more than 600 official times at bat in each of the last six years." Fox pointed out. "that means I've got to get an awful lot -of hits. The fellow that wins the batting title usually gets around 100 walks. My average is around 60." Nellie got one hit in four times at bat Tuesday night as the White Sox bowed to the New York Yan kees, 5-L This caused his average to drop two points to .340, still good enough for third behind De troit's Harvey Kuenn and Al Ka HINNY MINOSO . . . Indian clubber victory over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday night. It was the fifth time this season McLish has come close to nailing that long-pursued second shutout. He missed by inches when Marty Kcough's seventh inning drive ticked outfielder Rocky Colavito's glove and got away for a home run. The New York Yankees helped Cleveland along by defeating Chi cago's second place White Sox 5-1. Detroit at Baltimore and Kansas City at Washington were rained out. Indians 4, Red Sox 1 McLish, now 6-3, picked on his favorite pigeons. He beat the Red Sox for the fifth time in, a row since last June 26, giving up six hits, walking but two and striking out six for his first complete game since May 8. He is 7-1 life against Boston. The Indians plunked the Red Sox back into a last-place tie with Washington on a two-run homer by Dick Brown in the fifth inning against loser Ted Wills (2-2). It was Brown's first of the year, but Cleveland's 18th in the streak- one shy of the AL record for seven games held by the 1936 Yankees and 1940 Red Sox. , Yanks 5, ChiSox 1 The Yankees moved within a single game of fourth place Balti more behind the four-hit pitching of Art Ditmar H-4, who won his fourth in a row. The Sox scored in the first inning on a double by Nellie Fox and Sherm Lollar's single, then managed only a pair of singles by Norm Cash the rest of the way. Billy Pierce (7-7) was the loser checking the Yanks on three hits until they broke a 1-1 tie with two runs in the sixth on Mickey Man tie's triple, a hit batter, Hec Lo pez' double and Bobby Ricard son'i sacrifice fly. Ring Trio Savvies American Groceries O SWIM WEAR O WATER SKIS O SWEAT SHIRTS HAL'S SPORT SHOP JJ2 M.i TU 4-S56 By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPD The 15 pound turkey and the cold cuts loaded on the plates' disappeared as if an army of African driver ants had passed through the room. "Hey, for- Christmas sakes, gel those guys away from those gro ceries," the matchmaker yelled. "They'll never make the weight or else we'll have to put 'em in as heavyweights." , The three fighters, two Cubans and a Venezuelan, backed reluc tantly away from the table. munching contentedly and reach ing for another soft drink. "Get away from that stuff, the matchmaker growled. "Ya get hit in the belly Friday night and y'll wish ya hadn'ta dnnked it. The trio glared and backed off, After all. this was free food at the weekly "luncheon" complete with salami, corned beef, Swiss cheese, boiled ham, pickles and potato salad at which the main eventers at Friday nights televi sion boxing show usually stop by to chat with the sportswriters. Florentino Fernandez and Doug las Vaillant. both out of Cuba, and Carlos Hcrnandei, the Vene zuelan lightweight, couldn't speak English. But they kept their jaws working anyhow. "That's the dilference between Cuban and South American fight ers today than those of the past," explained Barney Barker, a one time bombardier who manages Vaillant, a principal in one of the three top 10 s at Madison Square Garden on Friday night. "They eat better." "It's a matter of style and also of diet." Barker continued, "When I took Vaillant out of the ama teurs two years ago he weighed 116 pounds, his teeth were bad League Hassle Matching Marks I(F, Bedford Meet Tonight The Klamath Falls American Le gion baseball team swings into its second league encounter tonight when H hosts the Medford legion nine in Gem Stadium. Game time is ( p.m. with the box office gates to open at 6:30. Admission charges are 75 cents per adult while all youngsters un der 15 will be allowed in free as guests of the Legion. . Hi Hatfield's local squad is miss ing four men from its roster but their Medford opponents are like wise short a couple of regulars John Kovenz's Medfordites are working without the services of shortstop Cal Dean andeXay Kono pasek. both of whom are attend ing Beaver Boys State. Hatfield's team is minus t h e services of centerfielder Rich De- Pew, out with an injured finger, pitchers Gary Bebber and Bob Wil kinson, both of whom are no long- with the club and shortstop Steve Binney, who is attending school. Tonight's league contest, t h e second for both teams, finds them with identical 1-0 league records Medford is fresh from a 5-4 vic tory over Myrtle Creek last night in a non counting match. Sunday they topped Grants Pass 9-i in the counting end of a doubleheader then came back on the diamond to bomb the Cavemen 18-0 in the second and non-counting game. Given the nod by Kovenz as irobable starters against the KF nine are pitcher Jerry Anderson, the ambidextrous ex basketball player, catcher Jim Barry, first baseman Lowell Dean. Bob Quin ney, who may alternate with An dcison. second baseman Doug Kin ney, third sacker Ken Durkee. shortstop Dick Ragsdale, and out fielders Sam Oettingcr, Ken Jen sen and Wayne Thompson. The Medford squad had trouble i getting their legion season underway this year, according Off I Reames Golf and Country Club lady golfers swing back into ac tion Friday, June 19, in the third round of play for the Centennial trophy. Pairings for Friday action are 18 Holes Tee No. 1 8:45 P. Drew, F. Anderson and and he had five different kinds of M Merryman: :5o-M. Good. L. parasites. I been feeding him all Maskell and P. Pemell: 8:55 P, kinds of vitamins, milk and good food. Now he's 135 and can hit like a mile." Vaillant can indeed if you figure that as a pro he has won 16, plus a draw, and flattened 12 of his 17 rivals. He'll go for 13 against Jimmy Grow out of Boise, Ida., Friday night while Hernandez meets Luke Easter of Rankin. Pa and Fernandez tackles Stefn Redl of Passaic, N.J., in the main event. . Barker explained that food can be quite lure to these young gladiators who have known hun ger pangs all their lives. "Vaillant's father makes $70 f month and, with a family of nine they didn't exactly have cham pagne and caviar," he explained. It's more or less (he same with Fernandez and Hernandez. The former is known as the Henry Armstrong of Cuba and is unbeat en in 19 fights. He took 17 of those by knockouts, the last 14 in i row; As a welterweight, he was the chief eater of the trio in a photo finish and maybe you can lay that to the fact that he comes from a family of 13. Hernandez who has won all eight of his pro bouts by knockouts, comes from a mere family of six. "Cuban and South American fighters used to be boxers." Bark er explained. "Most of them couldn't knock off your hat with a baseball bat. But these guys have changed styles. Now they slug instead of box and it prob ably has something to do with the fact that they're eating better. Coulson, M. Schuss and V. Ander son. 18 Holes Tee No. 1 8:45 J. Smith, D. Swanson and V.
