Jensen Paces Bosox To 6th Straight Win By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International For downright stubborness, we give you a guy like Jackie Jensen, who simply refuses to accept the idea that the Yankees have the pennant practically all locked up. Jensen still feels the Red Sox have a chance and he’s bent on proving his point even if he has to do it all by himself. The stocky San Francisco slugger certainly went about it the right way Monday night when he blasted his 14th homer plus a double and a single to drive in four runs in a 9-4 victory over Detroit. Jensen’s performance paced the spurting Red Sox to their sixth straight victory and boosted them into a virtual tie for second place, 7% games behind the idle Yanks. In his California home, Jensen keeps an autographed picture of Joe DiMaggio which he obtained while both were members of the Yankees. De Mag inscribed the photo this way: "Make ’em all moan, Jackie boy.’ Follows Advice And thats exactly what Jensen is doing. His home run total is second in the American League only to Bob Cerv’s. total of 15, and Jensen’s 44 runs batted in put him only one behind the Kansas City outfielder, who also leads that department. t x Not bad for a fellow who wanted to quit the game in disgust after the Senators peddled him to the Red Sox five years ago. Jensen's homer Monday night was a 400-foot wallop that came with two men on in the third inning and highlighted a six-run rally. The homer, off loser Paul Foytack, was the blond belter's third in two days ’and fifth in the past seven games. It gave big Frank Sullivan a lead that enabled him to coast to his third victory via a nine-hit effort. Another three-run homer by Gus Triandos helped the Baltimore Orioles clip the Cleveland Indians. 5-2. behind Southpaw Billy O’Dell's four-hit hurling. | Triandos si# reaped his 12th£homefioff BW*Mcflftsh sf inning following Al Pilarcik and Gene Woodling. That proved to be all the margin O'Dell needed for his sixth victory against seven defeats. O'Dell Had It J. W. Porter doubled home two runs for Cleveland in the bottom of the first inning. O'Dell then settled down to retire the next 16 batters before Rocky Cola vi to singled in the seventh inning. Rain cheated the White Sox out of an apparent victory when it forfced postponement of a game against the Senators with Chicago leading, 7-1, in the fourth inning. Early Wynn appeared to be breezing to his sixth victory when the game was called. He had allowed two hits while the White Sox raked Al Cicotte and Chuck Stobbs for nine, including three singles by Billy Goodman and a home run by Tito Francona. t6morß6w TOT’S DAY At Edward’s Studio

Bob Purkey pitched Cincinnati into third place with a 3-0 victory over San Francisco in the only National League game scheduled. Purkey yielded only six hits and didn’t walk a batter as he rolled to his fifth, straight win and eighth of the season against a single defeat. Steve Bilko connected for a tworun homer off left-hander Johnny Antonelli in the fourth inning and the Redlegs scored another run in the seventh when Eddie Miksis singled Don Hoak. Despite the defeat, their ninth in the last 13 games, the Giants retained first place by three percentage points over the Milwaukee Braves. Archie Moore Wins Over Howard King SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UPD— Lightheavyweight champion Archie Moore, the forever man in the world of boxing, worked up a good sweat Monday night, but could not score his 127th knockout as he took an easy decision over Howard King. Moore was trying to beat a record he already equalled, which was set by young Stribling betweeh 1921 and 1933. But though he floored the 194 Mi pound King three times during the 10 round bout. Moore was unable to keep him on the canvas. In three previous fights, Moore had floored the Reno, Nev., fighter a total of six times. However, he has never been able to keep King, down. Asked after the fight why he could not knock out King. Moore jokingly said, "He’s one of my standard opponents and I may want to fight him in Nebraska or someplace. ’ More said he tried "to get him (King) in the later rounds, but he was too elusive. He's getting to be mighty foxy, that boy.” Archie went into the ring at 196% pounds for the non-title bout. The light heavy champion did a good deal of road work chasing King around the ring for the first six rounds. Then in the seventh Moore unbolted a hard, short right which dumped his opponent into the press section. Undaunted, rung scrambled back into the ring before the full count, only to run into another smashing right that dropped him for nine just before the bell .again, ip the ninth. Moore caught ms fßunger* ofSpdfieflt with a jolting right. That one also sent King down for a nine count. But he hung on long enough to lose by a decision. Horse Show Delayed Until Next Sunday The Limberlost Trail Riders horse show which was to be held Sunday at Hanna-Nuttman park was postponed one week because of rain. The show will start Sunday at 1 o’clock sharp, weather permitting, will consist of 13 events and will be sponsored by Adams county business firms. The public is invited and admission is free. Refreshments will be served on the grounds. Little League Games Postponed By Rain Continued rains Monday night and today washed out tonight's scheduled double header in the Decatur Little League. Whether games can be played Wednesday night will depend on weather conditions.

Snead Seeking First Victory In U. S. Open 1 TULSA, Okla. (UPI)-Slammin’ Sam Snead, trying for the 18th time to win the only major title ’ in golf which has eluded him, , took dead aim today on the U.S. Open championship. “It’s now or never," Snead said after he turned in-a one-over-par ! 71 practice round at tough South- ' ern Hills golf course. “Man, these old bones are going to start aching before too long and once they do, it'll be too late." , Snead, now 46, has won more tournaments and more money than any golfer in history, but the best he's been able to do in the Open is four runner-up finishes. Several times he had the title within his grasp, only to let it slip away. , He’s the sentimental favorite to win this one—Cary Middlecoff is the bookmaker’s favorite — and Snead realizes that most of the pros are pulling for him. Is Currently Satisfied "I’m hitting the ball well and my putting has been good/’ said Snead, fresh from his playoff victory in the Dallas Open. Despite his 36-35—71, Snead complained about the rough of the Southern Hills course and the sandtraps. "This is absolutely the toughest rough in the world," he claimed. Most of the field of 162 golfers who will tee off for single rounds on Thursday and Friday and two 18-Hple rounds on Saturday agreed that the rough was too high. As a result of the complaints Joe Dey, executive secretary of the U.S. Golf Association, indicated he would have the rough cut before Thursday. Ford Shoots Par Doug Ford the 1957 Masters champion, had one of Monday's best practice rounds, an even par 70. Ben Hogan, shooting for his. fifth Open title and who has been tailoring his game to fit the Southern Hills course since February shot a 73. ——— Bantam Ben was satisfied with his game except for putting. His position play was exceptional, but he carded five bogeys, largely because of an erratic putter, against only two birdies. Frank Stranahan, whom some of the pros are picking to win, shot a 73 despite two double bogeys. Buck White and Billy Casper had 71’s with 72’s for PGA champion Linel Hebert,- Ed Furgol and Herman Barron. I Billy Loes Returns To Baltimore Fold ■ BALTIMORE (UPI) Billy Loes I was back with Baltimore today ■ and Manager Paul Richards said I he was perfectly willing to let byI feones by bygones. “We'll wipe the slate clean and re-deal the cards,’i Richards said ' upon Loes’ return to the Orioles following his suspension that grew out of a temperamental outburst during a game with Washington on June 1. , Loes, whb said he never intend cd to pitch for Baltimore again at the time of his suspension, nowsays: “Sure, I'll pitch again if Richards tells me to. I still want to be traded but pitching is my business." The former Dodgers right-hander has lost five games this season wjthout winning any. The Cleveland Indians already have made a bid for him and may possibly make another. Richards did not indicate when he would pitch Loes again or what his plans were so rthe 30-year-old pitcher. “MAJOR , National League W. L. Pct.

The Buckeye squad, coached by Middletown’s Paul Walker, raced to a 76-65 lead at the end of the third period and it began to look like a rout. But Mickey and Nowell each picked up four fouls and the Hoosiers closed the gap while they sat the bench. With the score 84-73 in favor of Ohio, the Hoosiers sebred nine straight points and finally tied the game at 86-all with 3:26 left.

Says Short Field Is Hurling Dodgers I SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — Ask Don Hoak what he thinks about that left field screen in Los Angeles and the former Marine who now patrols third base for the Redlegs thinks a minute, spits, then says “not much.” And he feels that it has hurt the batting of Gil Hodges and Charley Neal. “Gil never had great power but he had good power,” Hoak says of his former teammate. “Watching him from third base in the Coliseum I could see he was aiming all the time to try and flick the baU over that barrier. He even seemed to be hitting with only one hand at times.” Hoak said that Hodges, and Neal of the same club, would do much better if the short left field barrier were not on their minds. “Neal, also a right-hand hitter, has good power to right field which he is sacrificing to try and pull toward the screen,” Hoak added. Then when he was asked if he had tried any pot shots himself, he laughed and said "Hell, yes.” Hoak is the outspoken type who can back up anything he says with his fists. He boxed as a middleweight around Florida after getting out of the Marines in 1945. I ■, Hoak never had played organized ball until, tired of boxing, he got a shot with the Brooklyn Dodgers. That was in 1947 and for eight years he bounced around in their chain until they brought him to Ebbets Field in 1954. But after he got up there, he was not happy. “How could a guy break into the lineup against Billy Cox or Jackie Robinson?“Hoak asks. Things weren’t much better when the Chicago Cubs traded away the popular Ransom Jackson to Brooklyn along with Walt Moryn for Hoak in December, of 1955. “•Yes, I know Wjhat it’s like for fans to be on a guy,” Hoak says a little grimly. "Randy had been quite a Chicago favorite. Then up I show and can’t hit better than .215. They booed me and I desevered it. It was —uh—terrible.” The Redlegs obtained him before last season which saw him go

on several hot batting streaks which earned him a .293 mark for the year. As Cincinnati headed into St. Louis for tonight’s game, Hoak was batting well above .320. But don’t tell him about it. “I don’t pay much attention to averages,” l the left-hook artist says. Giants Beset With Slump And Injuries SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Yes, the San Francisco Giants remained in first place in the National League today but it was anybody’s guess how long they could keep their balance. Manager Bill Rigney’s tottery crew was blanked, 3-0, Monday by Bob Purkey of the Cincinnati Redlegs. It was the Giants ninth loss in 13 contests and left them only three percentage points ahead of second place Milwaukee which has lost four straight. The Braves were idle. Beset with injuries to go with a weak pitching staff, Rigney planned to shoot Ramon Monzant (4-4) at the Pittsburgh Pirates tonight when the Bucs check in for a three game series. Ruben Gomez, who figured in the bean ball riot with the Pirates May 25 at Pittsburgh, may start on Wednesday afternoon. Manager Danny Murtaugh is expected to go with Bob Friend (8-4) tonight as the Pirates battle to come out of their own slump. They have lost six out of seven games and dropped into sixth place. Rigney said after Monday’s second straight loss to the Redlegs that he might juggle his lineup, possibly moving the slumping Mays up to second spot.
