While Sox Win Two To Boost League Margin By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Start ducking, pardner, next time you call those White Sox hitless wonders. They shot that theory plumb full of holes by blasting across 11 runs during one inning Wednesday night en route to a twinlght sweep over the Tigers, 7-2 and 11-4. All that heavy shoutin' put the White Sox 5V4 games up and practically left the second-place Indians in boot hill as far as the outcome of the American League pennant race is concerned. If the White Sox play only .500 ball from now on and win only 11 of their 22 remaining games, the Indians would have to win 18 of their last 23 to overtake them. The aroused White Sox collected 10 hits while scoring their 11 runs in the fifth inning of the nightcap. Al Smith started the uprising with a home run. Loser Paul Foytack retired the next two batters but Luis Aparicio socked the first of eight singles during the frame and Nellie Fox climaxed the rally with a bases - loaded triple. Stanka Gets Victory Joe Stanka, just up from the minors, was credited with the victory although Gerry Staley, who also nailed down the opener, helped out in the eighth. Sherm Lollar drove in four runs with a pair of doubles in the first game. Cleveland beat Kansas City, 6-3; Baltimore blanked Boston, 4-0, and New York nipped Washington, 5-3, ■ in other AL games. San Francisco retained its 1% game lead in the National League ' race with a 4-3 decision over Chicago; Los Angeles stopped St. Louis, 9-6; Philadelphia whipped Milwaukee, 11-5, and Cincinnati put a crimp in Pittsburgh’s pen- ; nant plans by sweeping a twinighter, 6-3 and 2-1. Gary Bell won his 15th game

Jackie Brandt’s 12th homer in the ninth inning gave the Giants their victory over the Cubs. Victim of Brandt's blow was reliever Don Elston, who suffered his seventh loss against six wins. Dodgers Whip Cards Rookie Chuck Churn’s able relief job helped the Dodgers down the Cardinals. Churn, a Pittsburgh castoff, entered the game in the fifth inning with the bases loaded, one out and the score tied 5-5. He then got Curt Flood to hit into a double play. Hie Ddgers broke the with two runs off rookie Bob Duliba in the sixth. The last-place Phillies pounded out 18 hits hits, including homers by Carl Sawatski and Gene Freese, in beating the Braves. It was the third straight loss for the Braves, who are now four games behind the Giants. Willie Jones’ three-run homer off relief ace Elroy Face in the eighth inning gave the Reds their opening game victory over the “Pirates.

U.S. Wins 26 Gold Medals In Track And Field CHICAGO (UPD — The United States beat the best of the Western Hemisphere in track and field, winning 26 of 32 gold medals, and Uncle Sam's swimmers today were en route to probably an even more impressive show in the Pan American Games. U. S. athletes took the first three gold medals awarded in swimming, and set a world record in one trial, and in the process defeated Cuba’s Manuel Sanguily, the athlete given the best chance to upset U.S. domination. Thus aquatic handicappers felt that the U. S. men and women swimmers might go home with every one of the 30 gold medals at stake in the event, thus surpassing the track and field crew. The track and field squad, though, set 22 Pan American records and finished 1-2-3 in 10 events. Overall the U. S. has won 46 of 56 gold medals so far. Set Pan-Am Record Wednesday, U. S. tracty and field members won five of seven events, four of them in record time. John J. Kelley, Boston, led a 1-2-4 U.S. finish with the first U.S. marathon victory in an international race in 51 years, setting a Pan American record of 2 hours, 27 minutes, 54.2 seconds. James Green, 26, Brockton, Mass., was second, also breaking the old record. Other track gold medals on record performances, went to Dyrl Burleson, a University of Oregon sophomore who will be 20 next spring, in the 1,500 meter run; Buster Quist, Albuquerque, N. Mex., in the javelin; to the women’s 400 meter relay team of Barbara Jones and Lucinda Williams, Nashville, Tenn., Isabelle Daniels, Jakin, Ga., and Wilma Rudolph, Clarksville, Tenn.; and the men's 400 meter relay team of Hayes Jones, Pontiac, Mich., William Woodhouse, Mason City, lowa, Robert Poynter, Pasadena, Calif., and Ray Nrton, Oakland, Calif. Breaks World Record The Latin American winners were the West Indies Federation s 1,600 meter relay team of four U. S. college students, George Kerr, Illinois, Basil Ince. Tufts, and Mai and Mel Spence, Arizona State; and Adhemar da Silva, Brazil, winning the Pan American hop, step and jump for the third stfaight time. 1 Nancy Ramey 19 - year -old Seattle, Wash., swimmer, broke her own world record in the women’s 100 rrieter butterfly trials and every U.S. entrant qualified.

Both U. S. basketball teams won. The men walloped El Salvador, 101-42, for four straight to lead the league and the women whipped Brazil, 64-48. Nineteen gold medals were to be decided today.

Dick Tiger Winner In Stunning Upset CAMDEN, N.J; (UPD — Dick Tiger, a solid strongboy who holds the British Empire middleweight title, set his sights on a bout with Joey Giardello today after shattering previously unbeaten Gene (Ace) Armstrong’s 17-bout winning streak in a stunning upset. Jersey Jones, American representative of the invader from Amaigbo, Nigeria, said no sooner was the fight over Wednesday night when Ben Bentley, National Boxing Enterprises matchmaker, telephoned him: “Do nothing until you hear from me.” Jones said Bentley did not name any specific opponent for the 30-year-old Tiger, who floored the fifth-ranked (NBA) Armstrong of Elizabeth, N.J., in the third round and went on to gain an easy decision in the nationallytelevised 10-rounder. Jones added he would like his battler to take on Giardello in Chicago, probably around World Series time, especialy if the White Sox win the pennant. Tiger gained his first triumph in three tries since invading American rings on the card of Referee Joey Harrison, sole official under New Jersey boxing rules. Harrison saw it 6-4 in favor of Tiger. United Press International scored it 6-2-2 for the Tiger. Armstrong blamed ring rustiness and Tiger’s five-pound edge (162-157) for his defeat. Favorite Winner In Hambletonian Stake DU QUOIN, 111. (UPD —Diller Hanover, the heavy favorite from the start, lost a shoe but won the richest harness race in history in the 34th Hambletonian Stake for 3-year-old trotters Wednesday. The bay colt gave his owners. Hall Stables of Watertown, N.Y., record-breaking first-place money of $73,654 of the total of $125,283 purse with his straight heat Victory. The 1953 Hambletonian, won by Helicopter, paid $63,126 to the winner of a total purse of $117,117. Frank Ervin, 55, of Pompano Beach, Fla., driver of the famed son of Star’s Pride, who finished second in the 1954 “Hambo,” described Diller Hanover as “as good as any I've ever driven.” Diller Hanover started from the No. 2 post position in the first heat and held the lead after the hair to win over Tie Silk by a neck in 2:01 and 1-5, the seventh fastest heat in the classic’s history. The winner started slowly in the second dash, but zoomed down the stretch to overtake Lord Chutney, who faded, and won by 2t4 lengths over second-place Circo. Second-place money of $30,689 went to Tie Silk, owned by Two Gaits Farm of Indianapolis, Ind., and piloted by Ralph Circo, with 5-2 finishes, claimed third money of $12,275. Catches Five-Pound Bass At Pond Here Ronnie Roland, 13, of 521 Penn street, caught one of the largest fish of the season at Krick’s Pond earlier this week when he pulled out a 22-inch, 5-pound bass.

Eagles, Lions ” In Exhibition Game Tonight United Press International Norm Van Brocklin and Tommy McDonald of the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the best passing combinations in pre-season National Football League play, get a crack at Detroit’s porous umbrella defense tonight in an exhibition tilt at Toledo, Ohio. Van Brocklin, who claims McDonald has the “best pair of hands” he has seen in a long time, has already connected for five touchdown tosses to the exOklahoma star this summer. McDonald won the opening game for the Eagles against the New York Giants when he hauled in a 13-yard toss from Van Brocklin. Philadelphia lost its next two, to the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers, but the Eagle escadrille sparkled' as McDonald tallied twice in each game on Van Brocklin passes. Packers Meet Giants Detroit, with a win, a tie and two losses on the exhibition circuit was whitewashed. by the Giants last week end, 38-0. Three of New York’s scores came via the airways. The Lions’ lone victory came on a 9-3 decision over the Cleveland Browns. They tied the Los Angeles Rams and lost by two points to the Chicago Cardinals The Green Bay Packers, with a devastating ground attack that outscored Philadelphia’s aerial play ran through a dummy scrimmge Wednesday in preparation for Saturday’s game against the Giants at Bangor. Me. Steelers Plagued By Injuries Three of Green Bay's injured will miss the New York tilt—linebacker Dan Curry, defensive tackle Tom Saidock and defensive halfback Jesse Whittenton. Injuries have been plaguing the Pittsburgh Steelers, too, especially at the offensive end slots. Coach Buddy Parker strengthened this. position somewhat by obtaining Gern Nagler, a 6-2 receiver, froif the Chicago Cardinals in exchange for fullback Ken Hall. Cttach George Halas’ Chicago Beats, undefeated in three encounters, will have Zeke Bratkowski directing traffic for Saturday’s contest with the Washington Redskins. Bratkowski, in the opener agafrxst Green Bay, completed 22 of 36 passes for *259 yards and two* touchdowns. Major League Leaders United Press International National League Player & Club G. AB.
