Bobby Shank Whips Yankees On Three Hits Shantz, whose baseball career has had more ups and downs than a soap opera script, has made his comeback official. He was ff-2 in his comeback bid. and things never looked worse than a week ago today, when the Chicago White Sox belted him for seven hits and nine runs in less than two innings en route to a rceord 29-to-6 victory. Against the Yankees. Friday Bobby was the Shantz of old. Ha doled out just three singles, pitching the Kansas City Athletics to a 6-to-0 triumph that dumped the proud Stengeleers out of the American League lead. Before a crowd of 33,471, Bobby gave up a hit to Andy Carey in the first inning and then didn’t allow another until Gil McDougald singled in the seventh. Elston Howard, filling in Tor injured catcher Yogi Berra, made the third Yiit in the ninth but was erased on a game-ending double Play. ~ T Meanwhile, the A’s dealt harshly with two of Casey Stengel’s prize Yankee rookies, Johnny Kuchs and Tom Surdivant. The pair of youngsters gave up all the Kansas City runs in the first four innings. Bill Wilson knocking in two of them with a single and a home run. The streaking Detroit Tigers took over first place by half a game, and the Chicago White Sox moved into second ahead of the Yanks. The Tigers won their sixth in a row. scoring all their runs in the sixth inning to edge Washington. 3 to 2. Mickey Vernon of the Senators and Ray Boone of the Tigers hit homers as rookie Frank Lary bested Washington's Camilo Pascual. Al Kaline. who hasn’t been blanked all season, notched a single to run his hitting streak to 14 games. If wee Bobby hadn't stolen the thunder, the day’s pitching prize would have gone to Dick Donovan, the somewhat shopworn White Sox rookie, who halted the Boston Red Sox with four hits while teammates Sherm Lollar and Nelson Fox hit home' runs. It was the first major league win for the 27-year-oid Donovan, who spent parts of three seasons with the Boston Braves and also appeared briefly in Detroit uniform. K The White Sox, who stopped .Whitey Ford's. 21-inning scoreless string on Wednesday, halted a skein of 20 for Nixon when they tallied in th'e second frame. The Baltimore Orioles, who don’t enjoy many “big innings,” chose the ninth to stage a four-run demonstration and ft upended Cleveland and Mike Garcia, 5 to 2. Shortstop George Strickland opened the gate by booting a double play grounder. Ray Moore was the winner in relief of starter Harry Byr(J. In the National League, rain wiped out the Chicago - Brooklyn and St. Louis-New York contests. The Milwaukee Braves lost a chance to gain on the first-place Dodgers when they were routed by Philadelphia, 13 to 4. Cincinnati kept the Pittsburgh Pirates in last place by whitewashing them 5 to 0. Warren Spahn was the victim of a six-rfin uprising by the Phillies in the fifth inning, becoming the fifth southpaw in as many tries to have his head handed him by the Phils. Herm Wehmeier allowed the Braves only four hits — one a Bobby Thomson homer. Del Ennis rattled a round-tripper for the Phillies. Joe Nuxhall starred for the 'Redlegs, not only shutting out the Pirates with six hits but also hitting a fifth-inning homer off loser Max Surkont. Chico Vejar Wins On Technical KO .. . . • / SYRACUSE, N. Y. (INS) —Chico Vejar, the part • time dramatics student from Stamford, Conn., gained a fourth-round technical knockout over Paolo Melis of Italy Friday night at Syracuse when their scheduled ten-rounder was stopped because of a cut over Melis' eye. Melis, a 3-to-l underdog, received. the cut early in the first round but gave Vejar a slam-bang argument in a free-swinging brawl at War Memorial Auditorium.
