Athletics Are Early Season Surprise Team By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Those clouting Kansas City Athletics are kicking up the biggest racket in the American League today with an eye-popping home run barrage that's silencing all critics who wrote them off as "a farm club of the Yankees.” Only a half game out of first place, the Athletics actually are beating the Yankees at their own game—the home run. Lou Boudreau's fence wreckers have blasted 16 homers so far, the top total in the major leagues. They slammed out five Wednesday night in burying the Cleveland Indians, 17-6, and some skeptics may point to the "short porch” the A's have to aim at in Kansas City, but half of their, homers have been hit on the road. Lopes Blast* Pair Hector Lope* led "ihe fireworks with a pair of circuits that helped him drive in six runs while Harry Simpson, Lou Skizas and Hal Smith each chipped in with one. Bob Lemon, Cleveland’s starter, failed to survive the second inning. Ned Garver gave up only three hits and struck out nine over the first eight innings, then weakened in the ninth and needed relief from Virgil Trucks. Roger Maris and Jim Bujby homered for Cleveland. The Yankees also used home runs to good advantage in beating the Orioles, 3-2. Mickey Mantle’s homer off Connie Johnson in the eighth decided the contest after Yogi Berra hit a two-run homer in the first inning. Bob Grim picked up the victory relieving Art Ditmar in the eighth. Jackie Jensen’s 10th inning sin- < gle scored Billy Klaus from second with the run that gave relief pitcher Ike Delock of the Red Sox a 4-3 decision over the Senators. Ted Williams tied the score in the eighth with his third home run of the season off loser Bob Chakales. The Detroit-Chicago game was postponed by rain. Set N.L. Record A three-run triple by rookie Ed Bouchee followed by a two * run homer off the bat of another rookie. Bob Bowman, highlighted a seven-run sixth inning that gave the Phillies an 8-5 victory over the Pirates. Bob Friend was the victim of both those blows arid Stan Lopata also homaaad of reliever Dick Hall. Southpaw Curt Simmons was the winner although requiring help from Don Cardwell and Bob Miller. The Cincinnati Re d 1 e g s also came up with a seven-run inning in defeating the Chicago Cubs, 95, but they did it the hard way with only one hit. TTiey set a National League record by drawing nine walks in their seven-run fifth, four of the walks forcing in runs. Loser Moe Drabowsky walked four in a row, Jackie Collum yielded three of the passes and Jim Brosnan two. Bob Thurman homered for the Redlegs while Jim Bolger, Cal Neeman and Ernie Banks connected for Chicago. Joe Nuxhall. who pitched the first seven innings, was the winner. Del Crandall’s ninth inning homer off Willard Schmidt gave the Braves their sixth victory in seven starts, an 8-7 triumph over the Cardinals. Joe Adcock, Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews also homered for the Braves while Del TSnnis connected for St. Louis. A passed ball by Wes Westrum enabled the Dodgers to score what proved to be the winning run in a 4-3 victory over the Giants. Gil Hodges scored from third on the passed ball that climaxed a sous-run rally for Brooklyn in the fourth. i Del Flanagan Wins Over Kid Gavilon ST. PAUL, Minn. (IP> — Speedy Del Flanagan loomed brighter than ever in the welterweight title picture today after banging out a 10-round unanimous decision over Kid Gavilian here.

Gomes Is Knockout Winner Over Rogers PROVIDENCE, R. I. (W — Harold Gomes, the New England featherweight champion, was mighty pleased today with his knockout victory over Bobby Rogers of Chicago in his first nation-ally-televised fight. “I wanted to win and I wanted to look good,” the popular Providence scrapper said after dropping Rogers for the full count at ;1:54 of the ninth round Wednes-day-night before 1,363 hometown I fans. Gomes certainly looked good in scoring two early knockdowns and then, after catching a mid-fight breather, he came back in the next-to-last round to put Rogers away for good with a countering right-hand punch to the jaw. It appeared Gomes would send his many rooters home early when he floored Rogers for a mandatory eight count in the opening round, catching the Chicago youth with a left-right combination. Again in the mourth session, it appeared Rogers would be ■ knocked out when a solid right decked him for another eight- ■ count. i i i Most of the dehydrated potatoes now being produced are in the ; form of dice, with their biggest use i in canned stews and hashes.
