Yankees Blank Chicago, Lead By Seven Gaines By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International ' Look ma, no race! Blame it all on those one-track minded New York Yankees, who have gotten off to such a sizzling start that they conceivably could' win the pennant even if they lodp half their remaining games. The high-riding Yankees, who knocked off the Chicago* White Sox, 3-0, Monday night to stretch their lead to seven full games, have 116 games remaining. If they win only half of them, 58. they will wind up with a total of 86 victories—and American League pennants have been won with less. Could Break Record At the rate they’re going, the Yanks are a good bet to break the league record of 111 victories set by the pennant-winning Indians in 1954. And the Yankee pitchers are doing it the easy way. First. Don Larsen and Bob Turley adopted no-windup techiques and now Southpaw Whitey Ford is using only a half wind-up. He employed it Monday night in striking out 10 White Sox batters for'his sixth victory. Six of those strikeouts came in succession to tie a league record and duplicate a feat he accomplished on July 20, 1956 against Kansas City. Ford received all the batting support he needed from Hank Bauer and Mickey Mantle. Bauer hit a pair of homers, one in the sixth and another in the eighth, while Mantle walloped his fifth homer of the season into the right field bleachers in the first inning. All of them were hit off Jim Wilson. Washington dumped Baltimore a bit deeper into the cellar by beating the Orioles, 2-1, on little Albie Pearson’s single with two out in the 10th inning, Harshman Fans 11 Pearson's single scored Clint Courtney from third base and spoiled a heart-breaking defeat for left-hander Jack Harsman, who struck out 11 batters. The only other run Harshman allowed was a fourth-inning homer by Roy Sievers. Hal Griggs, who went the route for Washington, was aided by a sixth-inning triple play started by shortstop Rocky Bridges. Griggs yielded only six hits. No other American League games were scheduled. In the only National League game, Cincinnati climbed into fourth place with an 8-2 win over Pittsburgh that was practically a one-man job by southpaw Joe Nuxhall. Nuxhall not only drove in two runs with three hits, but he also stole a base, struck out eight, gave up no walks and pitched a seven-hitter in turning in his first complete game of the campaign.

I Ed Eliason Fined i On Speeding Charge ‘ INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Veteran race driver Ed Elisian, suspended ‘ for “an error in judgment” in the Indianapolis Speedway 500-mile t race crash which killed Pat O'Connor, Monday was fined , $10.25 and costs on a speeding ' charge. The 31 - year -old lead-footed driver from Oakland, Calif., holds j the unofficial Speedway record bi I better than 148 miles per hour, . set the same day Indianapolis police clocked him at 44 m.p.h. in ; a 35-mile speed zone. Municipal Court 5 Judge John , Christ continued three other traffic charges against Elisian until , June 23. Christ dismissed a fifth charge of driving without an operator's license because no evidence was presented to show Elisian had no license at the time. Charges still pending against Elisian include driving without an operator’s license and running a red light almost two years ago and failure to stop for a preferential highway last July 16. Elisian was found guilty of the speeding charge May 26, but Christ had deferred sentencing until Monday. Christ ordered Elisian to post $250 bond despite defense attorney pleas that he be released without bond. Attorney George Ober admitted Elisian had failed to appear at several scheduled hearings on traffic charges, but he said that was because he wasn’t notified of the trial dates. Elisian was accompanied to court by Billy Vukovich Jr., son ■of the two-time ”500 ’ winner who 1 was killed at the Speedway during the 1955 race. j The United States Auto Club has barred Elisian from competition pending investigation of the 16-car first-lap crash which killed O’Connor May 30. Several drivers accused Elisian of entering the northeast turn too fast, causing the spectacular chain-reaction tangle. Elisian has appealed the suspension.

Baltimore’s bad boy, wants to go to the Yankees but the chances are better he’ll wind up the same place he began his big league career—in the National League. A report that Loes, currently under suspension, might be dealt to the Yankees for relief pitcher Bob Grim was promptly spiked by, both clubs. “Not a chance,'' said Baltimore Manager Paul Richards. Lee MacPhail, director of player personnel with the Yankees, said, “No one around here has discussed such a deal.” Richards said he still has not decided what the final disposition will be on the 28-year-old righthander. It is known, however, that the last-place Orioles are in desperate need of added batting punch and that they undoubtedly would give up Loes to obtain it. Few American League clubs have shown any interest in the ex-Dodger hurler and there appears to be a strong chance he may be waived back into the National League which waived him out when the Orioles purchases him from the Dodgers in 1956. Loes, whose record is 0-5 this season, received some good news and some bad news Monday. The indefinite suspension Richards plastered on him following his temperamental outburst in a game against Washington Sunday was cut to Wednesday mid-night. The SIOO fine that went with it stuck, however. At the same time, the American League announced it was suspending him until Saturday midnight and fining him SIOO also for pushing Umpire Larry Napp.

Qualifying Trials Held For National I By United Press International Paul Harney, Dick Chapman and Gene Sarazen turned in creditable scores but it was the lesserknown golfers who stole the show in the sectional qualifying trials for the 1958 National-Open championship. Harney, fully recovered from a recent appendectomy, led the 29 qualifiers in a field of 175 at Detroit Monday with a 36-hole score of 139. Chapman, former U.S. and British Amateur king, posted a 136 while 56-year-old Sarazen, a two-time Open champion, fired a 140 among the dozen qualifiers from the New York metropolitan area. However, the outstanding aggregate score was credited to Robert E. Goetz of Tulsa, Okla., who recorded a 67-67—134 over the Oaks Country Club course in his hometown. Lee Mackey Jr. of Birmingham. Ala,.,and qf Webster Groves, Mo., two other rela-' tively-unknown pros, turned in 65’s to tie for the day’s best single rounds.

Sanders qualified with a 145. Lloyd Mangrum, the 1956 Open king, wound up second best behind Harney with a 140, while other leading qualifiers there included Tommy Bolt (141).

Los Angeles Votes on Park For Dodgers LOS ANGELES (UPD—The Los Angeles Dodgers today reached what some people believed was the crossroads of their brief sojourn as a West Coast team as voters went to the polls to. decide if they should have the site they want for their baseball stadium. National League President Warren Giles 12 days ago warned that the franchise of the Dodgers as a Los Angeles club was in jeopardy unless the voters approved a referendum on the ballot on Chavez Ravine. That’s where the club wants to erect a 12 million dollar stadium. So intense was the interest in the referendum, Proposition ”B” on the ballot, that Registrar of Voters Benjamin S. Hite predicted some 60 per cent of the electorate would turn but, drawn to the polls by the baseball .issue more than the regular primary election ballot. The campaign reached its peak in the last two days with statements and counter-statements. President Walter F. O'Malley, who had at first been reluctant to plunge into the battle, took to the air repeatedly to give his views on the agreement the club had

negotiated with the city. O'Malley ’ said regardless of how the referendum went he would “fight with all my strength” to keep the Dodgers in Los Angeles. But at the same time he admitted the league had the power to shift the franchise if the club did not have a suitable stadium by 1960. "We regret being in the throes of a political controversy instead of a contender in the National League race,” O’Malley said. Opposing the Dodgers’ contract was the “Committee to Save Chavez Ravine” which for months had been airing charges that the city’s agreement with the baseball club was a "giveaway” of valuable property. i The Dodgers last, October accepted as a final agreement the resolution of the City Council exchanging some 300 acres of Chavez Ravine, less than a mile from the city hall, for their Wrigley Field baseball park, which had been used by the Los Angeles Pacific Coast League club. But a referendum petition was circulated and the contract was placed before the voters for their decision in today’s election. Jim Smith Is Signed By Boston Celtics BOSTON (UPD — Jim Smith of the College of Stubenville, Boston’s second draft choice, has signed his first professional basketball contract with the Celtics. Smith, who lives in Homestead. Pa., led Stubenville to a 24-1 won-lost record last season.
