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

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

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
