Peoria. 111., July 25—(UP)—The spreading basketball “fix” scandal, which shocked Bradley University when: five players admitted taking bribes, was expected today to IP volve another university “somewhere between Illinois and the Atlantic Seaboard.” * That was the clue issued by Vincent A.

Whatever further announcements are made, this towmhas betm stunned by the revelations concerning Bradley. Accused of “shaving points” in two games last seasoh were allAmerican Gene Melchiorre, 23, the “best small man in basketball,” and four of his .teammates —Bill Mann, 24, captain !of last year’s team; Aaron Preece, 24: Charles Grover, 22; and Jim Kelly, 2b. Another team member was quizzed and released, and O’Connor said he was looking for a seventh Bradley plaver for questioning. As for the other school that may be involved, O’Connor said, "we have within Ithe past 10 days tn the course of our investigation around Chicago and-’east of Chicago been checking into another university.” However, he emphasized that the suspected school is not: located in Illinois. Os the five players who admitted guilt, all but ‘Kelly confessed taking bribes soon after “O’Connor. Hogan, and\Michael Shore. ■ Beqria county’s state’s attorney, revjeqled the scandal yesterday. The four were taken into technical custody and released on their own\recognizance. \ ! They admitted agreeing to cut Bradley’s winning rdargin in games against Oregon State and i Washington State last year. Kelly! Who confessed later, said he took part in the Oregon State "fix." A sixth player, Mike Chianakas, admitted introducing Melchiorre to a gamblers’ contact man, but authorities said he was innocent of any wrongdoing. Authorities said the five who agreed to shave points received a total of $5,590. but refused to deliberately lose any games. All but' Kelly, who is a senior, have been graduated from the University.

Yankees, Red Sox Both Win To Keep Pace New % York, July 25. —(UP) — That torrid four-way battle In th? American league wa.s rapidly turn ing into A three-way tussle toda> as the once-mighty Chicago Whit? Fox skidded three-and-a-half games <.ff the pace. The youngsters from the windv city, who burned up the league during the first part of the season, found themselves in that despe r - situation as a \ result of their fifth straight loss, 8 to 3, to the I-’ed Sox in Bostpn last night. By winning, the second-place' Red Sox stayed within three percentage points of the front-running Yankees, who defeated Cleveland, 3 to 2, tn New York. Cleveland, In third pUce, stood ope game behind the Yanks an d two-and-a-haif ahead of the White Sox. Certainly, Chicago demands a victory from its Joe Dobson today n. 3 he takes the hili' at Fenway Park against Bostons Ray Scarborough. A loss would plunge Chicago 4% games behind an.l rlrtually out of sight. Manager Paul Richards of the Chisox had these gloomy statis tics td ponder today: his boys have lost nine of their last 12 games and haven’t put together three straight victories since June 14. In the last seven games, he's gotten a complete job from only one pll ch e Kretlow agaiiiot Washington—and ,he lost. On the other, the Red Sox' tr.umph in the opening game of the three-game series behind the fine burling of rookie Leo Kiely was their third In the last four games, fneir 31st in 41 games at home—where they’ll spend the next three

weeks. I \ • And the Yanks and Indians have matched this furious pace. The Yanks now have won five straight, eight of the last 10, and 28 out oi 27 at home. Four pitchers in the last six have gone the distance. The Indians’ loss yqderday was cnly the sixth in 28 games, and nine of their last 10 hurlers have gone the route. The Red Sox lost no time in hammering -down Chicago yesterday scoring five runs in the first Inning as Howie Judson walked four men. Later Ted Williams clouted his 19th homer of the yeai. Kiely had a three-hitter for seven innings but missed a shutout when Don Lenhardt whacked a threelun homer in the eighth. The tension-packed opener between the Yanks and Indians wac decided when New York’s Johnny Mize clouted a 3-and-2‘ pitch into the right field stands in the* eighth inning to break a 2-2 tie. The blow Wynn, the 14th victory for Vi? Raschi. Earlier, 1 Gene Woodling hit a tw'o-run homer for the Yanks. In the National league? th* Erooklyn Dodgers kept their 8% game lead inta'ct with a 10-inning. 6 to 3 victory over the Chicago
