Wilson Scores Fifth Victory For White Sox By CARL LUNDQUIST (United Press Sports Writer) Pitcher Jim Wilson is making his new boss, Chuck Comiskey of the White Sox. look like • pretty slick trader. The youthful Comiskey, who is carrying on with the White Sdx after the departure of such geniuses as Frank Lane and Paul Hi< hards. swung the deal on May 21 that brought Wilson and utility player Dave Philley to Chicago. The White Sox gave up pitchers Mike Fornieles and Connie Johnson, third baseman George Kell, and outfielder Bob Nieman and the fans began to howl loudly that Chicago had been rooked. « Today the ex-White Sox bops, trader Frank Lane... is catching heck in SL tor his “shimmy and shake” transactions and the Baltimore fans are grumbling at Richards tor some of his deals, particularly the one involving Wilt son.' ? i | Mohday night hard-working Jim won his fifth game since donning a Chicago uniform and the 5-2 seven hit triumph was his second over the Orioles since the trade was made. |'f*- \ j What makes it worse on Richards, the former White Sox manager who completed the deal for Baltimore, is that only Nieman has done much for the Orioles. He has been hitting well but Kell has been hurt and the two pitchers < have been just so-so. But Wilson, who has a 9-3 mark now, has turned in one good game after another. And in Monday, night's triumph, which kept g|e : runner-up Chicagoans 5Mi games behind the leading Yankees, fhilley' also was a prominent figws,] He scored two runs, got a hit, a sacrifice and played 'both right field and first base. Chicago racked up throe Baltimore pitchers, including Fornieles. for 10 hits. s » The Yankees topped the Tig«rs at Detroit. 3-4 on the margin of Mickey Mantle's three-run homer -1 V ( uißefitt) Jy * IB frwtyt limited 1 USA tec, South ■ teed, MKmmi '

in the eighth, perhaps the longest blast ever delivered in Briggs Stadium. The ball cleared the roof of the park at 360-foot mark where the triple decker stands are 110feet high. The Athletics took advantage of sloppy defensive play by Washington to defeat the Senators 4-3 as Alex Kellner turned in a sevenhitter for his fourth triumph against two losses. Kansas City made 11 hits. In the statistical traffic jam in the National League, Cincinnati again moved into first place by defeating the Phillies. 7-4 in 10 innings while lefty Warren Spahn of the Braves beat the upstart Pirates 3-2 at Pittsburgh, dropping them into second, half a game behind. It was the first time this year Pittsburgh had lost three in a row. Cincinnati put over three runs in the 10th on singles by Ted Kluszewski and Frank Robinson, a sacrifice by Ed Bailey. Ray Jablonski’s walk. ißoy McMillan's single, Brooks Lawrence’s sacrifice fiy, and Johnny Temple's single. Lawrence gained credit for the victory, his eighth without a loss, in relief. Jablonski hit Cincy’s 87th homer in the fourth. Spahn held Pittsburgh to eight hits, one a homer by Jack Shepard. Joe Adcock kept up his hitting streak with a two-run double tor Milwaukee. It was the third victory without t. defeat for new Milwaukee pilot, Fred Haney. ■ There were no other games scheduled in either league.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S- Pat. Office) NEW VGRK (UP)—Cincinnati Manager Birdie Tebbdtts says that the first team to put together "a hot streak” will win the National League pennant. •* swtually." Tebbetts pointed out. “no club is exactly setting the league on tire at the monent. The Pirates were going real good for a time but lately they ran into some trouble. ' You might say the pennant Is up for grabs and any one who gets hot can win it. We have as good a crack at it as any of 'em. 1 honestly think that the first club which can win 12 or 15 games in a row could go all the way to the wire.” Up to now, none of the National League clubs has been able to put together a solid winning string. Brooklyn and Cincinnati show the best winning clusters so far, each with six in a row. But Milwaukee pnt an end to the Dodgers’s winning streak last Sunday while the Redlega had their six-game string snapped by Brooklyn on May 2. The best winning streak the Braves were able to muster so far this season under deposed Manager Charlie Grimm was five straight; Pittsburgh; the early season sensation, and Chicago, have each been able to win only four in a row, while the best that either St. Louis. Philadelphia or New York could do was three straight. “Baseball is a game of momen-; turn,” Tebbetts said. “You get into the winning swing and everything you do turns out all right. The Dodgers had that momentum early last season when they won Id in a row right at the start of the season. , > . “They got off so fast and so well that no one ever was ab’e to catch ’em again. So far this year, though, no club has shown a tendency to go out and run away from all of the others. If the race keeps on going the way It has been, Lt might not be decided until the last few days of the season.” - The conspicuous lack of lengthy winning streaks by any .club Ln the National League has made for a tight race and considerable interest among the tans but it hasn’t added to the various managers' peace of mind. “A manager tries every way be knows how to come up with a winning combination.” Tebbetts said. '-'When he finally gets that combination he likes' to kee{> it and hopes that none of his men get hurt. “But until you arrive At that combination, you try a different fellow at this position and a different one at that one. Then sometimes overnight, your ball club starts to jell and you begin win-1 nlng ball games.” As for his own Cincinnati club. Tebbetts feels the same way now that he did during spring traininng. .. _■ ... “I said then that we had a chance to go all the way if our pitching came around," he declared. “It still goes—and I still think that the first club to get off on a real good winning streak will win it all.”

Pacific Coast Schools Hope For Reduction .BERKELEY, Calif. (UP) — Hopes were rekindled at UCLA and the University of Washington today that their financial penalties, Rose Bowl bans and player eligibility losses may fee reduced. _ The prospects were raised after Pacific Coast Conference college presidents, in session here Monday, told faculty representatives to review completely their recent decision, in view of possible inequalities. Washington was fined the equivalent of $52,000 and banned from the Rose Bowl for two years, and UCLA was fined $95,000. banned from the bowl for three year# and players found taking money “under the table” were deprived of a year of eligibility. “We don’t know what the faculty representatives will find,” said Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the University of California and chairman of the college leaders' group, "-and we don’t know if they will revise the penalties upward or downward—or if they.will leave them as they are." The presidents ordered the faculty representatives to have their review work completed by Sept. 1, 1956. They also ruled that in the future all monies raised by alumni or bolster groups for use in athletics must be turned over to the college for administration.
