Keegan Hurls No-Hitter For White Sox Win By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer There was a short pause in the pennant races today to welcome Bob Keegan into the no-hit, no-run fraternity and to let the Yankees ponder why they ever allowed him to get away to the White Sox. Keegan, a 36 - year -old righthander, was cut loose by the Yankees five years, ago, written off as a chronic sore-arm case who would never make his mark in the majors. But he did it Tuesday night when he pitched the first nohitter of the season to beat Washington. 6-0, in the nightcap of a twi-night doubleheader. The Senators won the opener. 5-4. Keegan walked only two batters in fashioning his no-hitter, the first in regular major league season competition since Sal Maglie of the TlrwHtJrJT'c tiirntvi in rsrigs noainef thr* • d ttuuvu ill VHIV ctgoJiint, ttiv Phillies last Sept 25. The only nohitter since then was Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Dodgers in the World Series last Oct. 8. Eighth Victory The victory was Keegan's eighth of the season and It was made possible by a five-run third inning, during which Larry Doby hit a two-run homer. Ed Fitzgerald’s eighth inning homer for the Senators broke up a 4-4 tie in the opener. Ralph Terry, another pitcher the Yankees let get away, came back to haunt them Tuesday night when he beat them, 1-0, for Kansas City. The A’s collected only two hits off Bob Turley but those hits resulted in the only run of the game when Woody Held doubled in the fifth inning and scored on Tim Thompson’s single. The loss was Turley's first against the Athletics, whom he had defeated 11 times previously during his career.. It was also Kansas City’s second victory over the Yanks this season in 18 meetings. Cleveland beat Boston, 5-4. and Detroit licked Baltimore. 5-1, in the other American League games.

Ray Robinson Cancels Fight With Basilio NEW YORK (UP)—Sugar Ray Robinson formally called off next month's million-dollar fight with Carmen Basilio today, but he left a loophole for it to go on again. Robinson said bte formal withdrawal from the Yankee Stadium fight Sept. 23 was mailed today to the New York State Athletic Commission; but, nevertheless, he would fight if promoter Jim Norris came to terms quickly in their dispute over theater-television. "Meanwhile, my attorney, Martin Machat, win start legal proceedings against Norris and his International Boxing Club for breach of contract.” the middleweight champion said. Basilio Continues Training Admittedly surprised, Norris stated, “The sight’s still on as far as we’re concerned, and there’ll be- no change in the theater-tele-vision arrangements.” Equally confident that the fight would be staged, welterweight champion Basilio continued training at Alexandria Bay, N.Y., for his attempt to wrest the middleweight crown from obinson. Basilio commented, however, “if obinson runs out on this fight, I’ll know he's afraid of me. He looked petrified at the signing, anyway.” The dispute is about who shall handle the thegtetTV. Norris has signed a contract with Theater Network Television, Inc., the closed - circuit organization that presented 15 previous IBC fights starting in June, 1951. Robinson insists that the Teleprompter Corp., which handles much industrial and conventio closed - circuit work, be given th fight because it had guaranteed t minimum of 400,000 theater seats, which would translate into about $250,000 for Robinson’s end. That’s 150,000 more seats than TNT could guarantee, Robinson says. Permission Not Sought Sugar Ray claims that Norris signed the contract with TNT “without my permission.” and thereby broke the signed agreement that the theater-TV right would not be sold “without mj written consent.” When Nathan L. Halpern, pres ident of TNT, first made a survey of prospects for the fight, he said he could guarantee 375,000 theate: seats, Robinson explained. “But last . week we received • letter and formal contract from Norris, stating that Halpern could guarantee only 250,000 seats. We notified Norris that was not accept able and that we had an outfit giving*a much better guarnatee.’ Painter Is President Os Merchant League Cleo Painter was elected presi dent and Bob DeVore secretary and treasurer of the Merchant bowling league, which met at Mies Recreation Tuesday evening.

Cleveland's Season Ruined By Injuries CLEVELAND (UP) — Injuries, particularly to Herb Score and Bob Lemon, have ruined the Cleveland Indians* season and provided many a headache for Kerby FarreH in his freshman year as man- ) ager. t For six previous seasons, the Indians’ “million-dollar” pitching staff was the key factor in one pennant triumph and five secondplace finishes. Taxe away Score and Lemon, two 20-game winners, and there’s a simple explanation for the Indians’ fifth-place standing and poor attendance. The rash oi injuries Began even before the start of the season when Early Wynn and ay Narleski missed almost the entire spring .training. 'Die most serious injury came when Score war struck in the eye by Gil McDougald's line drive on May 7. And after a few sporadic ailments, Lemon finally wis sidelined for the rest of the season last week by a sore elbow. Narieski, sidelined for two months in the 1956 campaign with a sore arm. was struck on his index finger by a batted ball early during spring training. The blow fractured the bone tip of the finger and Narieski was out of action until the season opened. Wynn, handicapped most of the training period by a mysterious hip ailment termed "tendonitis”, also sat it out until the start of the regular season. Other injuries later in the season to pitchers Mike Garcia, Don Moss! and Lemon made it impossible for Farrell to establish a regular rotation of starters. Another factof leading to the collapse.of the Indians was the failure of Cleveland’s younger players to meet pre-season expectations. Despite the poor showing, General Manager Hank Greenberg has no intention of firing Farrell as a synthetic solution. Greenberg said, “I feel sorry for him, but there certainly is no thought about making a change.” But Greenberg himself might be in danger of losing his job. Although Tribe officials have refused to comment on the club’s poor season, they are disturbed about a steady drop in attendance. —— State Police Raid Gambling Places EAST CHICAGO (W - Indiana State Police troopers raided two more alleged gambling places here today, aresrting 2 men, routing 14 customers and confiscating gaming equipment and $7.40 in money.
