Keegan Hurls 6-0 Victory Over Tigers By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Al* Lopez never had it so good at Cleveland With the Indians, Lopez had some mighty fine pitching, but he’s getting an even better brand at Chicago where every starter on his staff is pitching in with the kind of complete game victories that could bring the White Sox their first pennant in 38 years. ■ It was Bob Keegan's turn Friday night and the 34-year-old right hander came through with a sparkling four-hit, 6-0 victory over Detroit that increased the White Sox American League lead to four games. Catcher Sherm Lollar gave Keegan all the margin he needed when he blasted a two-run homer off Frank Lary in the first inning and Walt Dropo added a little icing to the cake with a grandslam homer in the eighth. Baltimore defeated the secondplace Yankees, 3-1; Kansas City beat, Cleveland by the same 3-1 Score, sad Washington edged Bos* ton, 3-2. v Cards Beat, Braves Tn the National League, St Louis topped Milwaukee. 4-3; Philadelphia nipped Brooklyn, 2-1, and New York defeated Pittsburgh. 3-2. Rain washed out the Cincin-nati-Chipagd game. Ray Moore held the Yankees to five hits in out-pitching Bob Turley. Al Pilarcik put the Orioles in front with a third inning homer and then drove in another run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Turley was chased in the sixth when he walked in Baltimore’s final run. *'■ Billy Hunter’s two- run homer and Ned Garver’s four-hit pitching helped the Athletics to their triumph over the Indians. Hunter hit his homer off Tribe starter Cal McLish, who was knocked out of the box when the A’s scored all their runs in the third inning. Garver faced only 30 men. in gaining his fourth victory. A two-out single by Jim Lemon in the ninth inning off Tom Brewer brought Herb Plews home from second base with Washington’s winning run. The Senators, who scored their sixth victory in the ' last seven games, tied the score at 2-2 in the eighth with the help of Brewer’s wild throw. Tru Clevenger was the winner in relief of Russ Kemmerer. Rookie Eddie Kasko batted in the winning run for the Cards with his fourth hit of the game in the eighth inning. Wally Moon ran his hitting streak to 24 consecutive games with a sixth - inning * double. Lindy McDaniel went the route for St. Louis for his fourth victory while Juan Pizarro suffered his fourth loss. Phils Move Up Robin Roberts and Willie Jones teamed up to beat the Dodgers and move the Phillies within 2*£ games of the first-place Redlegs. By losing, Brooklyn dropped two games back of Cincinnati . Roberts gave up six hits, one was a homer by Roy Campanella, the 236th of his N.L. career. It bed

Mays extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a double in the eighth inning and subsequently scored on Ray Katt's sacrifice fly with the run that beat Pittsburgh. Pirate starter Luis Arroyo blanked the Giants on two hits until the seventh when they bed the score at 2-2 on Whitey Lockman’s single with the bases full. Reliever Al WorthingI ton was credited with his fourth victory. [ .y '■■■■' ; Max Truex Races To Two New Records COMPTON, Calif. (UP)- Max 1 Truex today held two American i records, both bettering his old ' American marks after his brilliant • performances in the 5,000 meter ■ and the three-mile races at the 18th annual Compton Invitational • back and field meet. I The diminutive University of Southern California runner turned : in a time of 14:04.2 for the 5,000 meter distance and* on the way ■ was clocked for three miles at 13:35.7. His old mark last year for • the 5000 meters was 14:22.8 while the three-mile mark was in the books as 13:47.6. 4 While the fleet - footed Turex erased the old records, Olympic decathlon champion Milt Camp- . bell, representing the San Diego . Naval Training Center, and Elia [ Gilbert, of Winston-Salem College, equalled the world record for the . 120-yard high hurdles, each turning in a locking of 13.4. Campbell was judged the winner. But a more-publicized Olympian, Bobby Morrow, failed to shine. The Abeline Christian star was the victim of the meet’s top upset when comparatively unknown Willie White, of Los Angeles Harbor Junior College, edged him in the 100-yard dash. Both went the distance in the sizzling time of 9.4, which Morrow did in setting a new Los Angeles Coliseum Relays record last week, but White was the first to touch the tape. Morrow, however, came back to easily win the 200-yard dash in 20.6. Merv Lincoln of Australia outlasted a field of milers including Tom Courtney, former Fordham University star, to turn in a time of 4:05. r ' • ■ • White Sox Practice !

(UP) — Notre Dame took the district NCAA baseball crown Friday, then headed home to finish its regular season today and depart for the NCAA finals at Omana. The Irish snuffed out the hopes of Northwestern, making its first district NCAA bid, with a convincing, 6-1, victory. The Wildcats had stayed alive in the tourney Thursday by winning twice, including one victory over Notre Dame in the double elimination series. But Notre Dame pitcher Bob Bobuznowski checked the Wildcats, Big 10 champs, on six hits, silencing even the bat of Chuck Lindstrom, catcher and son of coach and ex-majfr leaguer Freddy Lindstrom. Chuck had been the leading hitter in the tourney, with 11 hits in 20 at-bats. The hitting hero in the final game was Ed Hurley, son of the major league umpire, who had three for four and figured in all the Irjsh scoring. He drove in Gene Duffy, who tripled, in the first inning. He had one of two hits, which combined with two walks a«d an error, produced three runs in the ourth. Hits by Hurley and Jim Carideo, nephew of the one-time Irish grid All-American, Frank Carideo, plus a sacrifice and an error got the two final Notre Dame runs in the seventh. It was Notre Dame’s first district NCAA title since 1949. The Irish play Western Michigan, another NCAA victim, at South Bend today. The other district victim was Alma College of Michigan.

Big TV Deal For Giants And Dodgers NEW YORK (UP) — There’s a huge pot of gold, in the form of a multi-million-doUar pay-as-you-see television deal, waiting for the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants in California. The deal was made public when Mark Sullivan, president of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., said in San Francisco Friday ' his firm is negotiating with the Skiatron Corp, of New York to set up a coin box, closed circuit television network on the West Coast if and when the two clubs transfer there. The Dodgers, it was reported here, Vould receive a 10-year contract at two million dollars a year to televise all their home games at Los Angeles and probably their road games also. The Giants could participate in the same deal at San Francisco. Presently, the Dodgers receive a $750,000 annual TV - radio income at Brooklyn while the Giants get $600,000 for their rights. "It.is a complicated problem, but technically it is feasible and we think arrangements could be worked out that would be mutually satisfactory," Sullivan said. Skiatron already has applied to the Federal Communications Commission for permission to set in operation pay-as-you-see TV. The FCC shortly will authorize testing of the various pay - TV plans in certain areas of the country. Coinbox TV has not been approved by the government as yet The San Francisco Examiner reported that Dodger President Walter O’Malley already has accepted two million dollars as part payment for the closed circuit TV rights at Los Angeles. The Examiner said O’Malley used the money to purchase the Los Angeles franchise in the Pacific Coast League last year.
