White Sox Win 2 To 0 Shutout Over Yankees By FRED DOWN United Press International —The —New — York —Ya nkees hadbetter act fast because there’s a full-fledged revolt brewing among their downtrodden American League rivals. What had been regarded as merely some unpleasant skirmishing with the Detroit Tigers took on a much more serious aspect Monday night when the Chicago White Sox followed up with a 2-0 victory that handed the tyrannous Yankees their fourth shutout and fifth defeat in nine gume.There's still plenty of daylight between the Yankees and the so-, called contenders — second-place Kansas’ City is 71-i games behind — but the fact is the Yankees haven’t been playing well for a month.’ They’re under .500-14-16 — since May 25 and tlwy still have their big lead only Decausd none of the contenders has been able to get rolling. But now both the. Tigers and White Sox are making the kind of drives that can cut deeply into that Yankee lead. The Tigers, who beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-1, Monday, have won nine of their last 12 games while the White Sox have won eight of their last 10. Even the Athletics are hanging on with a modest four-game streak after Monday night's 7-2 victory over the Washington Senators. Building Up Lead The picture is just the opposite in the National League where the Milwaukee Braves are slowly opening up a lead. They boat the San Francisco Giants, 7-0, on rookie Carlton Willey's six-hitter Monday night to go 2‘ 2 games in front. The St. Louis Cardinals whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates. 7-5, and the Cincinnati Redlegs beat the Los Angeles Dodges, 6-1 in the other NL activity. Ray Moore, a 32-year old tobacco farmer from Maryland, pitched a three-hitter to give the White Sox their sixth shutout in nine games. Moore got all the runs he needed in the first inning when Billy Goodman walked with two

out and Sherman Lbllar hit his eighth homer of the season. The loss snapped Yankee aee Whitey Ford's seven - game winning streak.. All four shutouts pitc he d against the Yankees were by right-handers and it may be significant that it was right-hander Lew Burdette who shut 'em out twice in the World Series last year. George Susco pitched a sevenhitter to win his first game for the Tigers who reached .500 with a 31-31—season record.

Willey, making his first big league start, was aided by an 11hit Milwaukee attack that included homers by Johnny Logan and Del Crandall. Joe Adcock, playing left field for the Braves, robbed Ray Jablonski of a three - run homer with a spectacular catch in the fourth inning and Willey never got into trouble again until the ninth when a double play ended a last-gasp San Franciseo rally. Jim Brosnan, aided by Lary Jackson’s late-inning relief, won his seventh game for the Cardinals. The Pirates committed five errors, including three by Ted Kluszewski. as they frittered away an early 3-0 lead. Brooks Lawrence pitched a sixhitter for his fifth win and George Crowe and Don Hoak had two hits in Cincinnati’s 10-hit attack.

House Baffles Over Measures On Pro Sporfs WASHINGTON (UPD — The House stated choosing up sides today in a battle over how far Congress should go in applying anti-trust laws to professional sports. Tire battle was scheduled to reach the debating stage on the House floor today with no final votes expected until Wednesday. There were three major sidet to the fight: a Judiciary Commirtee bill pushed by Chairman. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.); and a compromise between the two proposed by Rep. Albert W. Cretella (R-Conn.). Celler said he expected ‘‘a little trouble” with his own measure but would keep fighting for it. He said Keating’s proposal would give Organized baseball a “carte blanche" to develop restrictive practices. For example, he said, the Yankees could keep any other team out of New York under Keating's plan. • But Keating, the senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, predicted a ‘decisive victory” for his version. Cretalla claimed a "lot of sentiment" fb his plan, ' intoduced Monday. He foecast “sympathetic treatment” for at least one part, curbing major league baseball broadcasts and telecasts in minor league territory. The sports anti-trust measures all are designed to clear up confusion . over professional sports’ status under anti-tust laws. All stem soma Supreme Court .decision last year denying pro football the immunity from anti-trust laws enjoyed for years by organized baseball. The cellar bill would apply antitrust laws to “commercial activities” of professional baseball, football, basketball arid hockey, but would exempt sports activities “reasonable and necessary” to preservation -of the ..game. These could include re ser v e clauses, draft systems, farm - sys-' terms and regulation of broadcasting rights. The Keating bill deletes the words “reasonable and necessary” to give a flat exemption to such practices. Cretella’s plan likewise exempts sfkJrts practices but cracks down on major league broadcasts and telecasts in minor league territory and would outlaw the|major league farm system by l»0.

Stengel Threatens Lineup Revisions CHICAGO (UPD— Casey Stengel. plagued with a slumping ball club which has lost seven times in the last 10 games, said today there’ll be some changes made unless the league - leading New York Yankees do a turnabout and start to wim—“l've got a lot of ball players,” said Stengel, "and I'm going to try some experimenting if we don’t start winning.” Hitting was the major problem with the Yankees, since the American League champions have been shut out four times in the last nine games and five this season compared to only two blankings during the entire 1957 campaign. The Yanks made only three hits Monday night in losing a 2-0 game to the Chicago White Sox and pitcher Ray Moore. But as consolation for the losers Sox Manager Al Lopez said his pitcher had “real good stuff.” Moore out five of the Yankees and .was sharpshooting the corneF'bf the plate with his curve ball to keep the batters upset. “When h<Ts right, he’s tough to beat with that curve,” Lopez said, “and he throws a good slider too.” Moore won his second decision of the year over the Yanks and posted a.record of giving them only one turned run in 18 innings. He wanted only two batters and to Hank Bauer, Bill ■Skdwron and Tony Kubek. none of them after the fourth inning. None of the Yankee runners reachedt third and only one got to second as Chicago erased two of them with double plays. Despite the defeat the Yankees retained a solid hold pn first .place in the American League, but the White Sox climbed to a fourth place tie with Boston, each 914 games behind the leader. Lopez, who had predicted the Sox might sweep the four-game series with the Yanks on the basis of his currently hot pitching staff, expected to start Early Wynn, with a 7-5 record, tonight while Stengel will rely on speedballer ' Bob Turley who has a 10-3 mark.
