Red Sox Take Double Header To Make Gain NEW YORK (INS) — Somebody forgot to tell the Boston Red Sox that it is supposed to be a three team race for the American League pennant. While tihe Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox play Alphonse and Gaston with each other, it still ie possible that the Red Sox could break loose and take it all. The three top teams split double headers Monday; thus maintaing the status quo. But the Red Sox, sweeping a twin bill from Washington, ran their winning streak to five straight and moved within a menacing three games of the top. 'What makes the Red Sox case still a hopeful one is that they have nine game left with the Indians, Yankees and White Sox and literally canpull themselves up by their own -boot straps. The Sox displayed both power and pitching Monday in 10 to 2 and 7 to 2 wallopings of the “spoiler" Senators. Youthful righthanders Tom Brewer and George Susce allowed five and eight hits, respectively, while all -the Boston regulars contributed to a 24-hlt twogame assault on Washington hurling, Billy Klaius wound up the day with five hits. Jim Pieraall and Jackie Jensen hit two run homers, and Piersail supplemented his first game clout with three spectacular catches in center field. A crowd of 29,769 boosted Fenway Park attendance over the one million mark —to 1,010,708. Meanwhile, the Indians, after losing the opener to Kansas City. 5 to 4, grabbed the night cap. 9 to 2. for Herb Score’s 15th triumph. Chicago lost to Detroit, 7 to 2, and then salvaged a 3 to 0 shutout, with Bob Keegan and Billy Pierce splitting the mound chore. The Yankees lost to Baltimore, 6 to 5. when ah obstruction play .at third base sent Chuck Dieting home with the winning run in the 11th inning. BUt the Orioles. Who had broken a five game losing streak, reverted to form and made five errors to help the Yanks to ’ a 5 to 3 comeback decision. in the National League. Brooklyn cut it’s “magic number’’ for clinching the pennant to three by sweeping Philadelphia. M"to 4 and 8 and 2. Second -place Milwaukee traded shutouts with Chicago, losing 2 to 0 but winning a 1 to 0 nightcap. Willie Mays and Frank Thomas hit homers in each game as Pittsburgh defeated New York. -8 -to 5, and the Giants turned the tables, 6 to 3. The first game went ten innings. St. Louis took a ten inning single game from Cincinnati. 3 to 2. Don Newcombe and Carl Erskine gave 33.451 Brooklyn fans a big afternoon. Newcombe won his 20th of the season in the opener and set a record for National League hurlers by belting his seventh home run. Erskine went the route for the first time since June 10, granting only five hits in the second game. Del Ennis homered in each game for the Phils. Duke Snider hit his 42nd of the season in the first contest, tying the all time Dodger record held by himself and Gil Hodges. He also wound up the day in a dedalock with Mays, who hit his 41st and 42nd of the year. Gene Freese homered twice in the first game for the Pirates. Sam Jones pitched Chicago’s ,first game shutout, and Ray Crone of the Braves outduelled Warren Hacker in the afterpiece. The Yankees had umpire trouble in the first game. Baltimore counted two runs in -the sixth inning when Hank Bauer was ruled to ■have trapped a ball on which he attempted a shoestring catch. Then in the I.lth, Larry Napp ruled Diering had been obstructed by Gil McDougald when Don Larsen threw -wildly to third on attempted force play. Tommy Byrne, w'ho got only one ■ man out as the first game starter, notched his 14th victory in the second affair in relief. Larry Doby hit a homer in each game for Cleveland, but it- was Score’s four-hit hurling that gained the even break. The rookie fanned 11, boosting his league leading total to 220. J Billy Hoeft of the Tigers held I the White Sox to five hits in the ■ matinee to win his 15th. Pierce carte "on when the Tigers threatened in the sixth inning to save.

Seixas Out To Avenge Losses In Davis Cup FOREST HILLS. N.Y. (INS) — Defending champion Vic Seixas, out to prove he isn’t over the hill at 32, launches a “beat the Aussie” crusade today in the fourth round of the national tennis championships. Seixas, washed up by the critics as a serious threat to retain his coveted title after his unimpressive showing in the Davis Cup challenge round, gets his first chance for revenge when he meets 21-year-old Aussie cupper Neale Fraser. Fraser didn't see challenge round action, but Seixas is swinging from the heels these days at anyone and everyone, especially Australians. The scrappy Philadelphian vowed Monday he “won’t quit” competitive tennis even if he surrenders his crown, and added he won’t do that without a fight. In his 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 third round win over Clifton Mayne of Lafayette, Calif., Seixas was the confident and poised player of 1954 all over again. , round shot at the Aussie terror Also stepping up to take a fourth brigade is fifth seeded Eddie Moylan of Trenton. N.J. Moylan has a much tougher chore. His opponent is 20-year-old Kenny Rosewall, top banana among the foreign invaders and co-favor-ite with Uncle Sam’s Tony Trabert to ascend to Seixas’ throne. Somebody is likely to get a chance to yell “timber" in the round of 16 as the menu is spiced with big fellows from the world tennis scene. Up to now major upsets have been at a minimum but the dam may burst. All of America’s ranking stars got through Monday’s action without mishap but two seeded foreign entries —Italy’s Nicola Pietrangell. and Japan’s Kosei Kamo —fell by the wayside in a program that provided a gamut of emotions and excitement for 8,500 holidaying spectators at the swank West Side tennis club. The "major” upset of the day was supplied by unranked 23-year-old Whitney Reed, an airman sec ond class who holds the armed forces championship. Reed was first class as he came from nowhere to oust Pietrangeli, fifth ranked clown prince from Rome. 11-13. 4-5, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5, in a wild and hectic five setter. ■ Trabert, third seeded Ham Rich- - ardson, Moylan. and seventh ranked Bernie Bartzen all scored straight - set victories in third rounders. Tony whipped Allen Morris. Richardson beat Tim Coss. Moylan defeated Allen Quay and Bartzen eliminated Philippine champ Ra--1 munde Deyro. Defending champion Doris Hart led the gals into the third round. She won by default over Mrs. Marjorie Buck. Mrs. Nancy Chaffee Kiner, wife of the baseball star, chalked up the only women's upset. Nancy, returning to action after a two years absence, defeated fifth seeded Mrs. Barbara Davidson, 6-1, 6-3 in a second rounder. Man Under Arrest For Kiss Slaying EVANSVILLE, Ind. (INS) —A 2-6-year-old Evansville man was held today for the kiss slaying of the man who married his girl friend. John A. Roberts signed a confession admitting he fired a .32 caliber pistol at George Cabell, 41. also of Evansville, as Cabell was kissing his wife goodnight. The widow told police that she and Roberts had been friends prior to her marriage. The two men were reported to have had an argument earlier in the day.
