White Sox Win To Pull Five Games Ahead By FRED DOWN United Press International It's certain today that the Yankes can't win the American League pennant and it looks more and more like the White Sox can’t lose it. The proud Yankes, winners of four straight pennants and nine out of 10 under Casey Stengel, officially became “dead ducks” at 11:35 p.m. e.d.t. Tuesday night when Luis Aparicio’s 10th inning single gave the White Sox 1 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Athletics. The White Sox’ triumph means the Yankes are 17% games out of first place with only 17 games left to play—and all the machinations and Strateagems of Stengel himself can’t repeal the laws of mathematics. As of today the Yankee’ “magic number" becomes 1960. The White Sox, of course, must still eliminate the Cleveland Indians to win their first pennant in 40 years but that, too, is rapidly becoming a mathematical certainty. Only eight victories in their last 16 games would give the White Sox 94 wins for the season—and the Indians would have to take 14 of their last 18 for a .778 pace to tie! Early Wynn, an “old smoothie” who'd strangle his grandmother to get into the World Series, pitched a six hitter to score his 19th win of the year and put the White Sox five full games ahead of the Indians. The Athletics almost pulled out the decision by scoring two runs to go ahead in the ninth but the go-go Sox tied it in the bottom of the ninth and won out in the 19th. Moving in for the “kill,” the White Sox open a two-game series tonight against the Washington Senators, against whom they have a 15-5 season mark. Manager Al Lopez is sending Bob Shaw <l4-6) against Camilo Pascual (14-10) in an attempt to drive another nail into the Indians’ coffin. The Indians, who have scored four straight come-from-behind victories in an effort to spring a miracle, met the Baltimore Orioles in a twi-night double-header with Jim Perry (10-7) and Jack Harshman (5-9) facing. Hal ,Brown. (9-7) and Milt Pappas (14-7). It's a potential booby trap for the Indians because they have only a 10-9 season advantage over the Orioles. In the National League, the first-place San Francisco Giants are sending Jack Sanford (12-12)

Buchholz Trailing In Singles Toumey FOREST HILLS, N.Y. (UPI) Earl (Butch) Buchholz, 18-year-old schoolboy star from St. Louis, was on the ropes but not quite out of the U.S. Singles tennis championship today. Down two sets to one as darkness halted play Tuesday, the . seventh-seeded boy wonder plays i off his heated thriller against . Brooklyn’s Ron Holmberg as the ; first order of business today with a berth in the quarter-finals at ' stake. Buchholz fought off four match . points in the third set Tuesday be- ; fore winning it at 10-S as the light ; began to fail. Holmberg won the ; first two sets, 6-3, 7-5. ! Alex Olmedo of Peru, Neale . Fraser of Australia and Barry Mac Kay of Dayton, Ohio, the : three top-seeded stars, were fa- ; vored to clout their way into the ; wuarters in the other top matches today. Mackay faced he toughest as- ' signment against Bob Mark, a : “spare wheel” on the Australian ■ Davis Cup team. But Olmedo, champion of Wimbledon and Aus- , tralia, figured to have an easy 1 time against 18-year-old Chuck . McKinley of St. Louis while Fra- • ser expected little more than a workout against Rudy Hernando of i Detroit. Two other quarter-final berths were up for grabs with sixthseeded Luis Ayala of Chile, new Pan - American champ, paired against Ed Dailey of Harrisburg, Pa., and veteran Vic Seixas of Philadelphia against Bernard (Tut) Bartzen of San Angelo, Tex.

Brown, Kerwin Meet In TV Bout Tonight COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD—Lightweight champion Joe Brown, who fights as often as he can, and Canadian welterweight Gale Kerwin, launching a comeback after a year's absence from the ring, meet here tonight in a non-title, nationally-televised 10-rounder. Brown, who won the 135-pound title three years ago, rates a 4-1 favorite over the Canadian who fights out of Valley Springs, N.Y. Lou Viscuis, Brown's manager, said he hopes to have the champion weigh in at about 138 or 139 in the over-the-weight fight. He said he expected Kerwin to weigh around 140 or 141. Viscusi admitted that the fight looms much as a tuneup for Brown, who hopes to defend his title in Houston, Tex. in December, probably against Britain’s Dave Charnley. The bout was staged as a part of a combination wrestling-boxing show by the Columbus DispatchOhio State Journal charities. The fight will be televised nationally by ABC starting at 10 p.m. e.d.t. The Columbus area will not be blacked out. Each fighter will receive $4,000 of the television money with Brown getting 30 per cent of the gate and Kerwin 25 per cent. Promotion adviser Ben Cowall said he expects to have a nearsellout of the 7,500-seat State Fair Coliseum. Kerwin’s career was halted nearly a year ago due to a severe case of anemia. He lost a 10round decision to Frankie Ryff in Washington on Sept. 26, 1958 in his last fight.

50-yard Line Flashes By JACK HELLER The Auburn Red Devils furnish the opposition for the Yellow Jackets home opener Friday night, and local fans couldn't ask for a better show. For the past five years, the two teams have been pretty even as far as personnel is concerned, and some good, close games resulted. From the looks of the Auburn roster, this year will be no exception. For the total roster, the Jackets hold a weight edge, averaging about five pounds heavier than the Red Devils. Auburn has six of last year’s starters back, and a total of 16 lettermen. The Jackets dropped a rough game to the Penn Kingsmen in their season opener, but should be in good physical condition. None of the players was hurt in the opener, and Mike Thieme will be back in shape after nursing a bad foot. Chuck Krueckeberg might be able to see some action, as his bad knee is healed. Thieme will add power to the offense, and Krueckeberg can help the defense if he’s up to past seasons’ performances. The Jackets seemed more confident in practices this week. They will have the advantage of one game's experience over the Auburnites who open their season here Friday. They also have gotten to know their team better. The line is completely new, and two of the backs are first year starters. John Cowan, who has been a quarterback in years past, was moved to starting halfback, and made some good runs in the jamboree and the Penn game. Tom Grabill fnoved up to the starting

offensive unit after playtag some on the defensive team last season. The Red Devils* big gun in the backfield will probably be Jon Feagler. According to the roster from last year as compared to the statistics given out by Auburn this year, Feagler shrunk an inch and gained 20 pounds. The Red Devils got another backfield man and four of last year’s starting line back. They will be going with a green quarterback, and it could make a difference. Fans are asked to notice that the horhe opener will start at 8 p.m., as against 7:30 in years past. An intra-squad junior high game will be played before the varsity game, and fans can get a look at the Jackets of future years. High School Football Hartford City 19, Bluffton 6.
