Orioles Beat Indians Two, Take Fourth By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Typographical error, my eye! That’s really the Baltimore Orioles right up there in the first division today, and it’s the first time they have ever been that high this late in the season since they entered the American League. The amazing Orioles reached the lofty region of fourth place Thursday night by sweeping a twi-night double-header from the fading Indians by the scores of 5-4 and 5-4 (no typo, either), the first game going 11 innings. Pilot Paul Richards, who makes the type moves no other manager will dare, gave a Houdini-like exhibition in an all-out effort to crash the first division. He yanked starter Ray Moore in the seventh inning of the first game even though the score was tied and he had two strikes on Roger Maris Ken Lehman completed the strikeout but he needed help from George Zuverink in the last of the 11th after the Orioles had scored two runs in the top of the frame on singles by Gus Triandos and Jim Busby. Zuverink Appears Twiee Then, in the nightcap, Richards pulled out Bill Wight in the third inning even though Baltimore had built a 5-0 lead off Bob Lemon, fie again called in Zuverink. who gained his eighth victory, and when the hard-working Zuverink weakened in the eighth, Richards led with his ace, Billy Loes. All that masterminding paid off in the Orioles’ 1401 victory in their last 20 games. They are now a half-game ahead of both Cleveland. and Detroit, and only three games behind the third-place Red Sox, who defeated the Tigers Thursday, 9-7. The Yankees padded their league lead to 314 games when Mickey Mantle's 23rd home run in the 11th inning produced a 3-2 triumph over Kansas City, and Washington rallied for two runs' in the ninth to beat the second-place White Sox, 6-5. The Phillies took over second place in the National League bcapturing a twi - night twin bill from the Cubs, winning the 11-in-nlng opener, 1-0, and the finale, 3-1. The Giants defeated the Cardinals, 1-0; Brooklyn edged Cincinnati, 5-4, in a game marked by fist fights, and Milwaukee beat Pittsburgh, 7-2. . Sleater’s ErrorsCootiy MMnch - .litUi '' Gfeac Stephens drove in the winning run in the 10th inning for the ( Red Sox after Tiger reliever Lou Sleater caused his own downfall with a pair of errors on the same play. Stephens, batting for winning pitcher Ike Deiock, singled home Frank Malzone and later in the frame, Jim Piersall drove in another run with a sacrifice fly. Billy Consolo and Ray Boone hit homers. Mantle’s homer came at the expense of reliever Tom Morgan and it gave the Yanks their 12th victory over the Athletics in as many games this season. Yogi Berra also homered for New York Art Ditmar was the winning pitcher in relief of Bob Turley. Rocky Bridges’ single with the bases loaded in the ninth inning off Paul LaPalme was the blow that gave the Senators an uphill win over the White Sox. Jim Landis and Jim Rivera had given Chicago an early lead with home runs. Bud Byerly was the winner. Granny Hamner’s Itth - inning single helped the Phils to their victory in the opener after Bob Rush of the Cubs had held them hitless until the eighth. In the nightcap. Jack Sanford had a perfect game going until Dale Long singled with one out in the eighth. Sanford wound up with a fourhitter and his 11th win of the year. Joe Lonnett homered for Philadelphia. Antonelli, Thomas Star Southpaw Johnny Antonelli and battcry-mate Valmy Thomas, were the whole story in the Giants’ Victory over the Cante. Antonelli hurled a five - hitter and Thomas homered in the sixth inning off Lindy McDaniel, as the Cardinals’ lead in the National League was whittled to two games. The Dodgers came from behind to defeat the Redlegs when Duke Snider hit his second home run of the game with one on in the seventh inning off Tom Acker. Snider’s sec6nd homer came shortly

Hartack Sidelined For Three Weeks CHICAGO (UP)' - Willie Hartack, the country's leading jockey, stayed In his hospital bed by doctor’s orders today and it appeared he would spend at least four more days there. Also, Dr. Herman J- Carr, track physician at Arlington Park, said that the broken vertebra Hartack suffered in a spill Wednesday would sideline him for “about three weeks.” Carr issued a statement Thursday in which he said that a reexamination of Hartack’s X - ray plates showed he suffered a fracture of the "transverse process,’’ a wing or spur of one vertebra. Earlier, Hartack had been trying to persuade Carr and other doctors to release him by Saturday for his scheduled ride on Calumet Farm’s Iron Liege, this year’s Kentucky Derby winner, in the SIOO,OOO Arlington Classic. He resigned himself, however, to replacement by Dave Erb in the Iron Liege bid. Jobless Pay Claims Increase Last Week INDIANAPOLIS W - William C.

Redlegs And Dodgers Scrap In Wild Brawl BROOKLYN, N.Y- (UP) — Don Hoak of the Redlegs vowed vengefully today he’ll whip Charley Neal of the Dodgers “so bad his own wife won’t recognize him” for the punch he threw at him in baseball’s latest fist-swinging free-for-all. "I'm gonna get him and you can tell him that," steamed Hoak, who caught a haymaker by Neal in the fracas touched off Thursday night at Ebbets Field when pitcher Raul Sanchez of the Redlegs threw a beanball at Junior Gilliam of the Dodgers. Sanchez* beanball came with two out in the last of the seventh inning and Cincinnati leading, 4-3 On the next pitch, Gilliam bunted along the first base line with the obvious intent of drawing Sanchez over and running him down. Gilliam's bunt bounded a few feet foul half way up the line, but as Sanchez came over ot field the ball, Gilliam crashed into him and the two went to the dirt, fists swinging. Within seconds, players from both dugouts flowed on the field and became embroiled in a fistswinging melee that ranks with the June 15 Yankee - White Sox fight as one of the wildest in many major league seasons. Neal came charging at Hoak and landed a clean punch to the head that knocked the Cincinnati infielder sprawling. Hoak, enraged, regained his feet and went after Neal. Four or five Redlegs held him off. The umpires and the rival managers had just about restored order when Hoak broke loose, charged Neal and had to be restrained once again. When play was resumed, Hoak, Sanchez, Gilliam and Neal all were ejected from the game. The Dodgers, who wound up with first baseman Gil Hodges playing second, won the game, 5-4, on Duke Snider’s seventh-inning homer Squirrel Hunting Aug. 15-Oct. 13 INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — The Indiana Department of Conservar tion announced today that the open season for fox and grey squirrels will range between Aug. 15 and J Oct. 13. both dates inclusive. ’ Bag limit is five per day.

Three Tied For Lead For Canadian Open KITCHENER, Ont. (UP)-Doug Ford of Mahopac. N.Y., who admits he’s “playing like gangbusters now,” shared the lead with two tall Texans today as the field teed off for the third round of the Canadian Open golf championship. Ford. Freddie Hawkins of El Paso, Tex., and Henry Ransom, a Texas cattle rancher playing out of St Louis. Mo., reached the halfway mark of the 72-hole tournament Thursday with aggregate scores of 136. Just a stroke off the pace with 137 s were Ed (Porky) Oliver, Pat Schwab, Bill Casper Jr., Bo Wlninger, and Gay Brewer Jr., who moved up among the leaders Thursday with a six-under-par 65 following a first round 72. Grouped at 138, two shots back, were giant George Bayer, littleknown John Knight and Moe Norman, the local hero who won the Canadian amateur championship twice before being suspended by the Royal Canadian Golf Assn, last winter for financial irregularities.
