And Willard Nixon tossed another four hitter as Boston cooled of Detroit, 5 to 0, and remained two games back of the Indians. The superb performances left the status quo except for the fifth place Tigers, who dropped 6ft games back. Not since 1940, when Detroit won the flag two days before the season ended, has there been such a wide open race. Trucks notched his 10th win against only three losses when the White Sox rammed home three runs In the ninth on singles byNelson Fox and Walt Dropo.

Philadelphia topped Chicago, 6 to 4. in the only day game. Burgess, who also singled, clouted a pair of two run homers and then belied his second grand slam of the season as he came, within three RBl’s of the major league record of 12 set by Jim Bottomley of the 1924 Cardinals. He missed a record tying fourth homer by inches as Roberto Clemente backed up against the right field screen at Crosley Field to pull down a long drive. The trio gave him a total of 16 for the year. The 22 hit assault against Vernon Law, Max Surkont and Pepper Laurin, each of whom were tapped for Burgess homers, including a grand slam by Bob Thurman and a solo poke by rookie Milt Smith. Joe Nuxhall wielded 11 hits, including a three run round tripper by Frank Thomas,. in posting his 10th win. * Don Hoak's three run homer in the seventh inning tied it up for Brooklyn and Carl Furillo’s eighth inning double, which bounced off Bill Virdon's glove to score Jim Gilliam, won it.
