Al Smith Hits Homer In Ninth ; For Chisox Win 1 ' By MILTON RICHMAN j United Press International . If the American League race jis going to wind up in one of j those close shaves, look for the ■! White Sox to win it by a whisker. J ! That’s how they've been winlining all along. ■ I There's an old baseball adage 2 which, says the team that wins [the one-run games usually cops lithe pennant. And if that’s the 2 case, get ready to mail those ) i ticket orders in care of Comiskey I Park. j Al Lopez’ crew scored their J 22nd one-run victory of the sea- . ’ son by shading the Baltimore Or- ? ioles, 2-1, Friday night to remain ■*' in first place by half a game 3 1 over the second-place Cleveland 1 j Knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm 1 [ held the White Sox to three hits I ; until the eighth when rookie Jim IjMcAnany drew a walk and came -1 home on Nellie Fox’s triple. That !: tied the score at 1-1 and the ; White Sox won it in the ninth I when Al Smith bit a home run with one out. The loss was Wil- ' helm's sixth against 10 victories. Cleveland licked Washington, 5-2; Detroit beat New York, 4-2, 'and Kansas City won its fifth straight game by defeating Boston, 3-1. In the National League, the Giants increased their lead to 24 games by beating the Cubs, 6-5. in 10 innings; the Cardinals i nipped the Dodgers, 2-1; the I Braves blanked the Pirates, 8-0, and the Phillies edged the Reds, 2-1. Gary Bell hurled a six-hitter for the Indians, who snapped Camilo Pascual’s seven - game winning streak in beating the Senators. i Southpaw Don Mossi of the TiJgers beat the Yankees for the fifth straight time while dropping the world champions below the .500 mark again, eight games of the pace. Johnny Kucks scattered nine hits in stopping the Red Sox and pitching the A’s to their ninth victory in 11 games. Jim Davenport singled home Hobie Landrith in the 10th inning to give the Giants their victory over the Cubs. Victim of Daven- ] port’s hit was Don Elston, who suffered his third loss. Johnny Podres of the Dodger? was sailing along with a 1-0 lead when the Cardinals • chased him and won the game with two runs in the eighth. Singles by Don Blasingame, Alex Grammas. Bill White and Gino Cimoli combined to hand Podres his seventh loss. Southpaw Juan Pizarro struck out 12 Pittsburgh batters and pitched a four-hitter in leading Milwaukee to victory.

A two-run pinch homer by Carl Sawatski in the ninth brought the Phillies their victory over the Reds. Suspended Sentence To Bernard Goldfine WASHINGTON (UPl)Bßemard Goldfine. handed a suspended sentence on contempt of Congress charges, today faced the prospect of another appearance before House investigators. The gift-giving Boston textile tycoon indicated that this time he would be “very pleased” to answer the 18 questions which led to the contempt charge. Federal Judge James W. Morris late Friday gave Goldfine a suspended sentence of one year in jail and a SI,OOO fine on the charges stemming from the 1958 influence investigatoin. Morris also directed Goldfine to answer the questions posed by the House legislative oversight subcommittee if given another chance to do so. Subcommittee Chairman Oren Harris (D-Airk.) promptly announced he expects to invite Goldfine’back for further questioning. Harris said he would call a meeting of his subcommittee in the next few days to determine when they could schedule the re turn appearance. Goldfine still was not out of the legal woods. A few hours after he was sentenced here, the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston affirmed a lower court’s contempt judgment against him and his secretary, Mildred Paperman, for failure to produce certain company records. His Boston defense attorney said he would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Goldfine and Miss Paperman had been sentenced in Federal District Court la?t Dec. 22 to 90 and 10-day jail .terms, respectively, for failure to bring records requested by the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with a federal court directive. They hfive been free on bail pending the outcome of the appeal. Over 2,500 Daiiv Democrats an sold and delivered in Decatur each day. - -

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA ~

Alonzo Johnson Is Winner By Decision MONTREAL 'UP I) — Australia, leaving nothing to chance, threw its ace doubles combination of Neale Fraser and Roy Emerson, against Canada today in an effort to clinch their North American Zone semi-final Davie Cup match in the quickest possible time. The Aussies, rudely surprised when the United States took the cup back to America last December, won Friday’s opening two singles matches in straight sets to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. A Canadian victory by Bob Bedard and Don Fontana in today's doubles would be an upset of the first magnitude. Fraser and Emerson are the current Wimbledon champioi® and considered the best in the world. Non-playing captain Harry Hopman, said by Canada’s Bedard to “give Australia a 15 per cent edge right off the bat,” explained 1 his choice this wav; “I want to see if they still have what they showed in Mexico,” when they beat Antonio Palafox and Marie llamas in straight sets. Fraser was benched for the singles because of a recent “mild appendicities attack,” but Hopman apparently wants him to keep his hand in and retain his touch as the No. 1 man on the Australian team. “I guess he still respects us,” said Lome Main, non-playing captain of the Canadian team. “I thought maybe he would use Rod Laver and Bob Mark but I guess he doesn’t want to take any chances.” Hopman apparently wasn’t taking any chances when he named Roy Emerson and Rod Laver- for the singles, either. Emerson, r stone-faced, methodical player< breezed unimpressively phst Fontana, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 ni Friday’s opening singles. And then little Laver, the 20-year-old redheaded rocket, came along and looked brilliant in defeating Canada’s perennial champion Bedard, 8-6, 6-3, 6-4. Junior Legion Team To Practice Monday Bill McColly, coach of the Junior American Legion team, announced today that a practice session will be held at Worthman field Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock. All team members are urged to be present. The Legion team will play Celina, 0., at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Worthman field, and will compete In the fourth district tourney fit Ligonier next Saturday afternoori. Aug. 1.
