Willard Nixon Beats Yankees Tuesday Night NEW YORK (INS) —Wanted! Willard Nixon. Wearing- Boston uniform. For assault and battery ou New York Yankees. Dangerous. The bruised and battered Yankees issued this all points bulletin today after the 27-year-old righthander waylaid them, 4 to 1, last night in full view of 61,678 stadium wftaesses, largest baseball crowd of the season and biggest New York night throng since July 21, 1950. The six hit decision, Nixon's eighth victory in ten meetings with the Bombers, dropped the New Yorkers into third place tn the torrid American League race just a half game over the rampant Red Sox. With Chicago’s 4 to 1 victory over Kansas City and Cleveland's 4 to 2 win over Detroit, the A.L. picture shaped up like his: W L Pct. GB Chicago 64 43 .598 Cleveland .... 65 45 .591 % New York .... 65 46 .586 1 Beaton 64 46 .582 I*4 Nixon, who beat the bombers four out of five last year as well . as'this season, notched his 12th I win in 17 decisions last night-the most be has ever won tn a single season as a-big-leaguer. He also doubled in an insurance run in the ninth, only the fifth hit allowed all night by Yankee ace Whitey Ford, who dropped his sixth against 12 wins. Ford started by walking Billy Goodman and the game was lost when the second man. Billy Klaus, followed with a home run. Ford didn’t allow another hit until the fourth inning but it was another homer by another lefty, Grady Hatton. Ford, whose performance would have beaten an ordinary team on an ordinary night, gained a negative honor by keeping Ted Williams from logging his 2000th hit. Ted filed, grounded and lined out and walked. Bill Wilson robbed Chicago’s Billy Pierce of a no-hitter with a single and a ninth inning homerun. The White Sox southpaw had his eighth win in 16 decisions when Bobby Shantz was clubbed for three runs in the second tuning. Ray Narleaki made his .41s;t, her-appeftrußte fer- CUeveftknd tfati saved rookie Herb Score's 11th win against nine losses. The Indians handed Ned Garver his 11th setback in 21 verdicts by scoring all four of their runs in the second. Gene Woodling’s two run double produced the tying and winning tallies. Bill Wight blanked Washington, 1 to 0, on four hits at Baltimore and then the Senators stormed back to take the nightcap 6 to 3, as Roy Sievers clubbed a pair of two ran homers. The Brooklyn Dodgers held their 14-game National League lead over Milwaukee by turning back New York, 3 to 2, when Marv Grissom walked Don Hoak with the bases loaded in the 10th inning. The Braves defeated St. Louis, 6 to 2; Philadelphia kept a half game toehold on fourth place by drubbing Pisttsburgh, 9 to 1, and Chicago topped Cincinnati, 4 to 3, in the only scheduled day game. Willie Mays gave the Giants a two run lead in the first inning I when he blasted Johnny Podres tor his 36th home run. Paul Giel came to the mound for Ruben Gomez in the 10th and was immediately hit for singles by Carl Furillo and Don Zimmer, Grissom loaded them up on another single by Don Newcombe, pinching for winner Clem Labine. Southpaw Warren Spahn struck out five and walked ndhe as he won his 10th. in 22 decisions . for Milwaukee. One of hid seven hits included Stan Musial’s 24th home run, with Red Schoendienst on base. Hank Aaron also got his 24th for Milwaukee; Bobby Morgan sparked Herm Wehnaeter to his eighth win against nine losses for Philadelphia with four runs batted in on a homer, trtple and single. Jim Greengrass also soeked a homer against the Pirates and Del Ennis drove in the I,oooth run of his N. L. career with a sacrifice fly. Chuck Harmon s error on Ernie Bank’s grounder paved the way for the winning run. in the sixth inning at Chicago. It was the fifth time in the last six games the Cubs triumphed by one run.

College All-Stars Drilled On Defense CHICAGO (INS) —The collegiate all-stars football team today was drilled on denfense to cope with veteran backs and veteran receivers of the Cleveland Brawns whom they meet Friday night. The cbllegians are trying to stop such pros as Ray Renfro, Dub Jones, Barrell Brewster, Dante Lavelll and other top players who have kept the Browns in championship playoffs year after year. The Browns’ ability to elude secondary defenders is one of the headaches the all-stars are trying to find a bromide for in the final stages of their preparation for their 22nd annual game against the pros in Soldiers' Field. The all-stars kept a drilling schedule even though they attended a civic luncheon in their honor Tuesday. Mays, New York, 86 and Post, Cincinnati. 83.
