Boston Hurler Halts Yankees Winning Skein NEW YORK (INS)—If you can’t beat 'nn, they say, join ’em Now obviously the Yankees can’t join Will Nixon but if they can lure the Georgia righthander away from Boston they will have: 1 a valuable addition to their mound staff and 2 a guy who more than any other man has put the skids under New York’s pennant drive. In four tries, Nixon has knocked off the Bombers four times—more than spy -other pitcher in the American League — and has restricted the world champs u> just three earned runs over a stretch of 34 1-3 innings. Last night, he not only held the Yanks to four hits before a Fenway Park throng of 30,174, but doubled In the deciding tally that snapped New York's ten-game winning streak, 4 to 3. The victory, Nixbn’s ninth in 19 decisions, also snapped Bob Grim's six-game streak and left the Yank ace wjth a 16-5 slate. Bill Skowron's 400-foot homer into the Sox rightfield bullpen was the only legitimate run off Nixon. Twb errors let in the other runs. The Red Sox won it in the eighth on a Grady Hatton single, Sammy White grounder, Billy Consolo fly and then Nixon’s double. Nixon couldn’t finish because he tried to stretch the telling bit and was shaken up so badly sliding inti j third that Sid Hudson finished the job in the ninth. The Indians meanwhile laced Baltimore. 7 to 2, while Chicago humbled Detroit. 8 to 2. Washington was rdined out at Philadelphia. The New York Giants kept their two-game National League lead intact by blanking Pittsburgh, 4 to 0, as Brooklyn deeisioned Philadelphia, 6 to 4 Chicago trimmed Milwaukee, ,3 to V in the only day game and Cincinnati beat St. Louis 3 to 2. to take over fourth place from the Phillies. x Al Rosen slammed his 21st homer and Larry Doby drove in three runs so give Baltimore’s Joe Coleman his 15th loss against 10 Wins. Art Houtteman. who was tagged; for a homer by Chuck Diering, needed help from Hal Newhouser to gain his 13th in 19 decisions. Virgil Trucks became the first league hurler to register 18 victories (six losses) in the Chicago win and tdbk over the league strikeout leadership with six for a total of 134-four more than Baltimore’s Bob Turley boasts. The Sox scored five runs in the seventh, three of them on Jim Rivera’s 11th homer. Ikon Mueller’s grand-slam homer and Don Liddle's three-hit pitching gave the Giants four straight and their 17th shutout of the year. Liddle, now 9-3 fanned six to stretch Pittsburgh’s strikeout total to 726. most ever by a Pirate club. Diok Littlefield set the stage for Mueller’s blast by walking Monte Irvin, giving up a single to Bill Gardner SUN. MON. TUES. Continuous Sunday from 1:15 Wide Screen —in COLOR!

Duke Snider poled a two-run homer in the first inning, his 30th, and Carl Furillo duplicated it in the second — his 12th — off Roberts, who now has Übst 11. Sandy Amoros provided what was the winning margin, with his sixth-inning homer. Billy Loes, tagged for a homer by Willie Jones needed help for his ninth win In 12 verdicts. Bob Rush scattered nine Milwaukee hits and Hjb Talbot exploded for two singles and a double to score all three Chicago markers, i The Rraves' sixth defeat in their last 26 games dropped them 6% games back.

* , ra. Olson Retains Middleweight Title Friday SAN FRANCISCO (INS) —Carl Bober Olson still wears hie middleweight (Town by virtue of put-, ting Rocky Castellan! decisively in his place during their 15 round championship fight in an Francisco’s tow Palace Friday night. Both judges and the referee aided with Olson to give the champion a unanimous decision over the Rock whom Olson found somewhat snore vulnerable than Alcatraz. Olson made the most of it until he got careless or made the mistake of thinking be was safe to coast through the Ohio challenger’s attempt to dethrone him. Castellan! gave the champion the biggest fright of his professional career in the 11th round by dumping Olson for an official knockdown. But is wasn’t goodbye-aloha for the Honolulu-born champion. He bounced up quickly and socked Castellan! with a billiard of rights and lefts that kept the challenger from following up his advantage. Olson insisted after the fight that he received "only a push" and that he was oft balance at the time and that’s why he hi; the canvas. Referee Ray Flores ruled it an Official knockdown although he failed to start a count. In the following round-the 12th -Olson charged grimly from his corner, bent on revenge, and he ot it. He smashed Castellhni to the canvas for a nine-count with a hard right to the jaw. With the referee holding up his fingers to show the glassy-eyed challenger the count. Castellan! remained on one knee until nine and then got up to weather the storm for the rest of the round and the fight. Castellan! proved himself a clever defensive fighter throughout most of the battle and presented a bard-to-hit target as he pedaled constantly backward. Olson in his familiar boring style moved ahead with both arms flailing. sometimes missing badly in the farly part of the fight. The judges and referee carded the figfht under California’s 11point per..round system this way : Referee Flores-Olson 89; Cartellani 76; judge Fred Apostill- Olson RS; Castellan! 80; judge Jack Downey - Olson Castellan! Both fighters were 'practically unmarked during the bout. Castellani got a cut over his left eye in the sixth round but the flow of blood was staunched without trouble. In hie dreseing-room. Castellan! said he had no alibis but at the same time remarked : "1. had no zip in my left hand from the second round on. I hurt it when one of my punches caught Olson square on the point of bls elbow.” The challenger called Olson "a great champion-.the best man 1 ever fought." Financially Olson and his manager Sid Flaherty received a flat sum of 1125,000 for his second unsuccessful title defense. This was guaranteed by Al Naiman, Castellani’s manager and a millionaire Cleveland contractor. J&iman took sixty percent of the gate receipts and sixty percent of the 1100,000 radio and television payment. The gate grossed >121.470 on a paid attendance of 11,870 tans.
