Yankees Win Sixth In Row, Chisox Beaten By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Is the panic on? Can the Yankees do it? Maybe that sounds like those sign-off teasers they use in soap operas but the fact is that some of those American League contenders are going to keep tuned in closely to learn how the Yanks wind up. They certainly sounded like a happy, pennant-bound crew on the train that brought them back from Boston Tuesday night where they had just reeled off their sixth straight victory by beating the Red Sox, 8-5. Some of the Yankee players even were talking about the “anniversary” commemorating the start of the Giants’ 1951 miracle pennant drive. 16-Game Pennant Drive It was just eight years ago today that the Giants, 13 games back, began a 16-game winning streak and subsequently won the pennant in a playoff with the Dodgers. “Who knows?” said Yogi Berra. “Maybe we can do it, too.” The Yankees cut the margin between themselves and the'firstplace White Sox to 10 games when they scored six runs in the fifth inning to beat Boston Tuesday. • The Tigers routed the White Sox, 8-1, and the Athletics ended a seven-game losing streak by defeating the Indians. 7-3, in the only other scheduled AL games. The “Willies” did it again for the Giants, who widened their Na- - tjpnal League lead to three games with a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals in 10 innings. The Cubs beat the second-place Dodgers, 5-4, in 10 innings; the Braves split a twi-njght twin-bill with the Reds, losing the opener, 4-3. but winning the nightcap, 7-3, and the Phillies topped the Pirates, 8-4. Jim Bunning of the Tigers stopped the White Sox on eight hits and struck out eight in winning his 10th game. Al Kaline hit his 20th homer with two on in the first inning off loser Billy Pierce and Coot Veal belted his first major league homer in the fourth with the bases empty. A’s, Rout Mudcat Grant Kansas City routed Cleveland starter Jim (Mudcat) Grant with a five-run outburst 9 in the first inning and then coasted to victory behind Bud Daley’s nine-hit pitching. Willie Kirkland supplied the winning base hit for the Giants against the Cardinals for the second straight night. Kirkland, hit a three-run homer in the first inning Tuesday night and then singled home Willie Mays in the 10th. Home runs by Alvin Dark and Tony Taylor in the 10th inning

Archie Moore Is Favored To Defeat Durelle MONTREAL (UPI) — Archie Moore, the ring’s all-time “knockout king” and probable all-time oldest champion, defends his light heavyweight crown tonight in a return fight with Canadian Yvon Durelle, whose wild, booming hooks nearly lifted the golden lid in December. » Despite his electrifying December escape, Archie is favored at 3-1 to beat the brawny, darkhaired fisherman in his eighth defense of the 175-pound title. It’s also a 3-1 bet that the bout at the Montreal Forum does not last its scheduled 15 rounds — regardless of who wins. Each was on the floor four times in that Dec. 10 donnybrook before Moore finally knocked out the challenger from Baie Ste. Anne, N. 8., in the 11th round. That was the “fight of the year,” last year and 12,000 are expected to pay about $175,000 tonight to see the 1959 version. Moore to Play "Cagey” Moore, ranging in age-estimate from 42 to. 45, says he’ll “play it cagey” in the early Founds of their twice-pOstponed match tonight and try to weaken Yvon with bo<|y blows before risking the Frenchman’s dynamite again in exchanges while the challenger is fresh. But Durelle, 29, says: “I’ll shoot . the works in the early rounds — with two good hands this time. And when I hurt him tonight. I’ll finish him in a hurry. Trainer Charey Goldman has improved my left hook into a very solid punch — so I'll have a knockout in either hand this time —instead Os just in the right.” Whefl&Mhey square off at 10 p.m. oEt', ex-heavyweight Champion Sharkey again wil be the referee. The bout will be televised throughout the United States by ABC; but it will not be televised in Canada. Since that, turbulent December night, Durelle had one bout. He knocked out Teddy Burns (J 3 at Caribou, Me., en May 12. Moore had no fights. Seeks 176th Victory Accordingly, the crafty and explosive champion, unbeaten in his last 16 starts although held to draw, seeks ins 176th victory in S fights. He also hopes to extend all-time knockout record to . He has had six draws, and has been stopped six times. Durelle’s 77-20-2 record includes 40 knockouts. He. also Rad one stopped seven times. Tonight's bout suffered two postponements that combined for a month’s delay. First, Moore bruised his left heel in training; next. Moore’s wife Joan had to undergo an emergency mastoid operation that necessitated the champion’s presence at San Diego, Calif. - ■ Redlegs Shortstop Is Out For Season CINCINNATI (UPI)-The Cincinnati Reds have lost the services of shortstop Roy McMillan for the rest of the season because of a fractured left collarbone suffered nightcap of Tuesday nijht’Owi-night twin bill with the Milwaukee Braves. McMillan, generally recognized as the finest defensive shortstop in the National League, sustained the injury during the third inning when he collided with TBill Bruton as the Milwaukee outfielder was attempting to steal second.

IHSAA Ordered To

Answer Complaint BEDFORD, Ind. (UPI) — Two lanky Negroes gained another legal victory over the Indiana High School Athletic Association Tuesday in their continuing battle for the privilege of playing basketball in Indiana. The IHSAA was ordered by Special Judge Lester Nixon to answer a complaint filed on behalf of Billy Joe and Frank Stevenson, who had been prohibited by the athletic body from ever participating in athletics at Seymour High School. Nixon, sitting in Lawrence Circuit Court, overruled an IHSAA motiop to delay a final hearing on the case and ordered that an answer be filed by Aug. 18. The ruling came after nearly two hours of heated argument between opposing attorneys, with Harold Bell, chief defense counsel. contending that the court has no jurisdiction in the internal affairs of the IHSAA. However, Nixon stated that Indiana’s compulsory education law places such matters under court jurisdiction because the courts must force the boys to attend school until they are 16, and therefore must take action in cases where they are allegedly ,discriminated against. "To find that the court doesn’t have jurisdiction,” Nixon said, “would amount to denying the child those righto that ate justly due him by law.”

The judge expressed some irritation at IHSAA delaying tactics after George Brawley, attorney for the Stevenson boys, said they are prepared to go to trial at any time. Brawley pointed out that the case has been pending for seven months, with three trial dates set and ultimately post - poned. At that. Bell jumped to his feet and stated, “we resetjit this pushing.” Nixon said there would be no further delay. The hassle began last year when the IHSAA ruled that “undue influence" was used to lure the athletics from Joppa, 111., to Seymour, It decreed that they could never play basketball while attending Seymour High School. Little League Teams To Play Exhibition An exhibition Little League baseball game will be played Thursday evening at the Stratton Place diamond between the Red Sox and the Indians. The Indians finished one notch ahead of the Red Sox to gain fourth mlace in the final standings by a mere half-game. ® W a ® ctid fr is slated for p m ‘ with a regulation six innigs being played. Fans, families, and funseekers are invited to see what possibly will be the last Little League action of the year.

Pittsburgh Steelers Win Over Cleveland By GARY KALE United Press International The Pittsburgh Steelers, packing a goal-line punch, are set to renew the 1958 surge that made them the hottest team in the National Football League at the tailend of the season. « . Pittsburgh opened its exhibition swing Tuesday night by scoring four touchdowns from inside the 10-yard line, t.wo with less than two minutes remaining, to defeat the Cleveland Browns, 34-20. The Steelers, undefeated in their final seven games last season. broke the game apart When halfback Ray Mathews cut over from right guard from the eightyard line to put Pittsburgh in front, 27-20. With six seconds to go, linebacker Vic Lasse intercepted Kim Ninoski’s pass and ran to the one. where rookie halfback Jim Smith scored. Jim Krutko, former West Virginia star, went over from the two in the first period to open the scoring. Cleveland tied it at 7-7 on Jimmy Brown’s 74-yard run and went ahead, 10-7, on a 37yard field goal by Lou Groza. Bobby Layne culminated a 75yard march with a touchdown sneak from the one-yard line to make it 14-10 at the half, but Brown sent Cleveland ahead again with a seven-yard plunge in the third period.
