The dog days of August are
having little bile on the New
York Yankees, and the American
League pennant race may be re
duced to a trot by the time
September rolls into view.
The Yankees, who played un
der .500 ball last August, won
their sixth straight game with a
10-inning. 6-4 decision over the
Los Angeles Angels Sunday to
ncrea.se their league lead to nine
full games over Chicago.
Even more frightening to the
other nine clubs than the huge
lead is the pure statistics of the
situation. The Yankees, with a
74-40 record, need only split their
remaining 48 games to finish with
98 victories.
Chicago, to match this total,
would have to take 32 of their
remaining 46 contests. That would
be a .6 clip, or 127 percentage
points better than the White Sox
have been doing thus far.
The Sox didn't help their cause
any Sunday, dropping the first
game of a doubleheader to the
Detroit Tigers, 7-2. before coming
back with a 3-2, 11-inning triumph
in (he nightcap. Chicago now has
lost 10 games more (han the
Yankees.
Twins Beat Ronton
The Minnesota Twins scored a
5-2 win oer the Boston Red Sox.
It was the sixth straight success
for the third-place Twins and
kept them 914 games behind the
Yankees. The Baltimore Orioles
beat the Washington Senators, 6-2,
and the Cleveland Indians edged
the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1.
Elston Howard and Hector Lo
pez, both late-game replacements
shared the hero roles lor the
Yankees. Howard slammed a
three-run, two-out, ninth-inning
homer to send the game into ex
Ira innings, and Lopez drove in
the winning run with a 10th-
inning single. Relief pitcher Bill
Stafford stopped the Angels over
the final two frames to gain his
fourth victory, and Julio Navarro
took the loss.
Aids Own Cause
Gary Peters went all the way
for Chicago in the second game
and in addition to holding Detroit
to just one earned run he con
tributed a single, double and
homer to his own cause. How
ever, he reeded an 11th inning
home run by Dave Nicholson to
gain his 12th triumph and his
seventh in a row. Don Mossi and
Terrv Fox scattered seven hits
for Detroit in the opener and got
their main hitting support from
Bubba Phillips and Al Kaline,
each with three safeties.
Zoilo Versalles hit a two-run
homer in the fourth inning and
Don Mincher connected with two
on in the fifth to account for all
the Minnesota runs. Camilo Pas
cual took it from there, yielding
only a two-run homer to Dick
Stuart, to gain his 14th victory in
20 decisions.
Pitcher Milt Pappas slammed
a two-run homer and relief hurler
Slu Miller contributed a bases
filled triple as Pappas beat Wash
ington for the eighth straight
time. Ron Kline was the loser.

By JERRY WAGGONER ;
Herald and News Sports Editor j
The Klamath Falls Nationals,
Oregon State and Regional Babe
Ruth champions, arrived buck
home to the cheers of an estimat
ed 1,500 fans who turned out to
show their respects to the new
champions who will represent
Ihe Pacific Northwest in the Bahe
Ruth World Series Aug. 18-24 in
Farmington, N.M.
It was indeed a warm wel
come and one well deserved by
the Nationals. They hadn t been
home since they left to go to
the state tournament in The
Dalles July 28. They won the
stale title there in a breeze and
drove right on from there to Kel
logg. Idaho, where they won the
Regional title.
The street and law n in front of
the courthouse was packed with
people who had been waiting
for about an hour for (he team
to arrive. They did so at about
10 p.m.. a tired group ol young
sters after a gruelling tourna
ment and a 13-hour drive home.
However, they seemed to lose
some of that fatigue during the
welcome.
The welcome began with Bob
Barllett as the master of cere
monies. He turned the program
over to George Callison of the
Klamath County Chamber of Com
merce who made a short speech.
He called the team a million dol
lar team, but then changed his
mind and said no price tag could
be put on them.
He also slated that the recogni
tion by the team had been excel
lent publicity for Ihe town and
Klamath Basin. He also said that
the boys had forgotten three
words during the gruelling tour
nament, "fear, fatigue and fail
ure," "They had no fear of t h e
opposition, seemed endless with
their energy in not gelling fa
tigued when it seemed they sure
ly must drop, and the word fail
ure never crossed their mind,"
he told the cheering throng.
Bob Moore, coach of the Na
tionals, said he was extremely
proud of the kids and said they
were a great group. And he also
dittoed many before him who
said they hoped to bring back the
World Babe Ruth title from New
Mexico.
Bob Mezger, the Babe Ruth
president of this league in the
Basin, made presentations of
some beautiful jackets to the
players and coaches which par
ents had bought for the boys. The
jackets were bright red with
white leather sleeves and a huge
baseball patch on the left side
which said Oregon State Babe
Ruth Champions 1963. They hope
to have room for the World Se
ries palch.
Giants Eye
Phil Sweep
PHILADELPHIA (UPI) The
San rrancisco Giants wind up
(heir series with Philadelphia here
today and hope to sweep the four
game series.
Manager Alvm Dark will pin
his hopes on Jim Duffalo, who1
has come along well the past
month.
The Giants took their third
straight from the Phils Sunday,
5-1, to maintain their drive to
catch the Ixis Angeles Dodgers.
Jack Sanford collected his 11th
victory against 12 losses although I
he needed help from Billy Hoeft;
and Don Larscn. !
Willie Mays continued his hit-1
ting, collecting a double in four
trips, driving in a pair of runs.
It was the I3!h game in which
he has hit safely.
A rarity saw Willie McCovey
hooted out of the game in the
fifth for protesting a call by plate
umpire Ed Vargo.
Philly manager Gene Mauch
will start Chris Short, who has ft
3-9 record this year. Duffalo will
be gunning for his fifth victory
without a defeat.
