Score Blasts Yanks; Indians Get Big Boost By JOHN GRIFFIN (United Press Sports Writer) FFlame-throwing Herb Score who admittedly the proud New York Yankees in his “best ever” pitching performance Tuesday night, has put the cocky Cleveland Indiana right back in the pennant race. That was the claim made today by Tribe Manager Al Lopes when the dust settled from Score’s twohit, 11-strikeout triumph over the Yankees by a 3-0 score in the opener of a two-game series. Lopez said the near-classic was just the tonic “to give the team the lift it needed." Score, major league strikeout king, never threw harder as he held the Yankees hitless for seven full innings. Elston Howard's clan double to open the eighth and Mickey Mantle’s “Baltimore single in the ninth were the only hits he allowed. “Billy Martin who struck out three times was “the only batter who wasn't afraid of Score,** admitted Yankee Manager Casey Stengel..“ All the others were terrified.” Best Game Ever Pitched Score, who ran his strikeout total to 199 for the year with this performance, said it was “the best game I ever pitched.” Lopez and the Indians, who stubbornly insist that they aren’t licked yet although they still trail by 7% games, took Score’s triumph wtih an “I told y.ou so” attitude. Lopez went on to say he may use Score in relief occasionally from now on to help close the gap “although I don't like to.” Score celebrated the victory in away dear to all pitchers with the first home run of his major league career in the seventh inning. He also had singled home the Indians' first run in the second inning just before Gene Woodling singled in the other. The Milwaukee Braves increased their National League lead to three games by sweeping both, ends of a day-night twin bill from the last-place Giants, 5-3 and 6-2. Bob Buhl (15th win) and Gene Conley (seventh) both went the route to win with the help of homers — Ed Mathews’ three-run clout in the first inning of the opener and smashes by Joe Adcock I

Hensel Will Head Discussion 01 Rules Paul E- Hansel. Chairman of the northeastern Indiana 1956 Football Rules clinic, will be the chief interpreter of the new football code at the association meeting next Monday night. August 27th, 7 p.m. at the Central high school gymnasium in Fort Wayne. There are a of vital rule changes in the 1956 Football Code, which will improve the game and assist the players in making the game safer, plus greater spectator interest. The new 1956 footbhll rules require one yard visible hash marks to be placed*in the marking of the field between the five yard lines. The purpose of the new hash-mark lines is to improve spectator interest and to assist the press, radio and telveision personnel in keeping accurate location of the ball. Other changes in the rules make the rubber-covered football legal; face and teeth protectors are encouraged; only the captain may request time out; a lineman in motion must now be five yards behind the line'of scrimmage when the ball is snapped; and the strict enforcement of the "no coaching rule” from the side lines is now* in effect. All coachse, spectators and players are invited to attend the Football Rules Clinic next Monday night at Central high school gymnasium in Fort Wayne. Major Leoque Leaders Player & Club C AB R H Pct.
