Indians Beat Orioles, Take Second Place By TIM MORIARTY United Prei»* International Since the Mart of the season, New York Yankee , scout* have been whispering “watch the Orioles" into Casey Stengel'r ele-phant-sized ears. But Ole Case and the rest of the Yankees had better start worrying about the Cleveland Indians For while the Orioles are showing signs of skidding, the Indians are flying. The Tribe, behind the six-hit pitching of rookie southpaw Dick Stigman. bounced back into second place in the. American League race Wednesday night by handing Baltimore its third straight defeat, 5-3. The loss dropped the Orioles into third place by a single percentage point. Cleveland now has won seven of its last nine games but over that period Manager Joe Gordon has gotten only two route-going Jobs’ from his prized pitching staff. And both of those efforts were turned in by Stigman, who stopped the Yankees with a fourhitter last weekend. In his latest outing against the Orioles. Stigman was bothered by wildness, walking six while fanning five. But he permitted only one hit over the last three innings IT'S •"810 lis j I . ana [ ■ ’a? > ' iIL ——— - - - |270l J ■woitoß i Another “First” For FLEET-WING NEW FLEET-WING 270 HORSEPOWER GASOLINE Delivers most power . . • . . . most miles ; at speeds most people drive. 40% more wheel power in stop-and-go driving 30% less gasoline consumption at idling speeds.

and wu aided by three double pUya. Helpt. Own Cause Stigman. who earned a promotion to the Indians this year although he lost 17 games at San Diego in 1958. helped his own cause in the fourth inning with a key two-run single off loser Jerry Walker. Two home runs by Roger Maris helped the Yankees to a I<M) victory over the Kansas City Athletics and Ted Williams unloaded a 430-foot, two-run homer to give the Boston Red Sox a 4-2 triumph over the Detroit Tigers in other AL action. Rain washed out the Chicago at Washington night game. In the National League, the Milwaukee Braves downed the Chicago Ctrfw, 3-1, after dropping the opener of their doifoleheadcr. 3-2; the Los Angeles Dodgers swept a twilight-night doubleheader at Philadelphia, 6-3 and 5-2. and the St. Louis Cardinals whipped the Cincinnati Reds, 5-2. The San Francisco at Pittsburgh night game was rained out. Both of Maris’ homers against the Athletics came with a man on base and raised his major league-leading total to 24. Jim Coates allowed only three singles in scoring his ninth consecutive victory of the season and his 13th in a row over two seasons. Williams Blasts Homer Williams' homer at Boston was his 12th of the season and the 504th of his career, leaving him only seven behind Mel Ott s lifetime total. Russ Nixon also hit a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who broke a five-game losing strobile. A pair of homers by Joe Adcock featured Milwaukee's second 'game victory over the Cubs, who I won the opener on Bob Wills I pinch single in the ninth inning. Dick Ellsworth went the route for Chicago in the first game, allowing only five hits. Joey Jay haltled the Cubs on seven hits m the I nightcap. Two major league strikeout records were equalled during the Dodgers-Phils twinbill at Philadelphia. Dodger pitchers fanned 24 men in the two gahnes to equal one mark and the combined total of 34 strikeouts for both clubs matched another major league high. Hitting Streak Ends Larry Sherry won the opener in relief of Don Drysdale when the Dodgers broke a 3-3 tie with two runs in the eighth innings. Sandy Koufax stopped the Phils on three hits in the nightcap but needed relief help from Ed Roebuck m the eighth. The Dodger pitchers also combined to stop Frank Herrera’s 20-game hitting streak, fanning the Phils’ first sacker knocked in two ■ runs with a double and single or the Cardinals, who raked three Cincinnati pitchers for 11 hits_ Ray Sadecki stopped the Reds with three hits over the first eight innings but was Lindy McDaniel when WaUy Post opened the ninth with a- home run. McDaniel then retired the next three batters to save th. game for Sadecki.

Gene Fullmer Whips Basilio In 12 Rounds SALT LAKE CITY I UPD—Gene Fullmer, two-time kayo conqueror of Carmen Basilio, will defend hi* NBA version of the middleweight crown against Sugar Ray Robinson in an October "rubber match* if Robinson will accept reasonable terms. That's what Fullmer said today while accepting congratulations for his impressive second technical knockout victory over exchampion Basilio in their return title bout Wednesday night before an estimated 10.500 spectators at Dcrks Field. The gate was estimated at $98,<XM> Has Score to Settle "I’ve got something' 1 want to settle with Robinson, said the battle-scarred chsunpion from nearby West Jordan. Utah. “He’s the only man who ever knocked me out. I want to return the favor." Bull-shouldered Gene won the undisputed 160-pound title from Robinson on a decision at New York. Jan. 2. 1957; but Sugar Ray recaptured it from Gene on a fifth round knockout at Chicago four months later. A third meeting next October would be the decisive rubber match. Manager Majv Jenson said "Yes, the Robinson fight is the one we want in October, if Sugar Ray will remember that he was beaten in his last two fights by Paul Pender and accept reasonable terms.” Fight In West Jenson and Fullmer agreed the fight with Robinson should be staged in the West —perhaps at Salt Lake City, Logan, Utah, or Missoula, Mont. Harry Markson, managing director of the Madison Square Garden Boxing Cleb, proposed to manager and fighter today that Gene meet Sugar Ray in a nationally televised fight in New York in October. They did not reject Markson’s offer, but they reminded him Fullmer is not recognized as world champion by the New York State Athletic Commission. The New Yfork Commission, not a member of the National Boxing Association, recognizes Paul Pender of Brookline, Mass., as titleholder. How About Pender? "Because Pender won't fight any place outside of Boston, replied pilot Marv, "and we certainly wouldn’t go into his home bailiwick for a fight. If Pender wants to challenge Gene in fblt Lake City or in some neutrwl city., in NBA territory, the match might be made.” - Fullmer not only out-punched Basilio Wednesday night but he actually out-boxed him, and gave perhaps the most impressive performance in his career of 57 fights as he registered his 52nd victory and his 23rd knockout. Fullmer Improves Fullmer, 28, weighed 159’/* pounds to 156 Ms for 33-year-old Basilio- as he improved by two rounds on his technical knockout time over the bruised and bloodied Carmen. Referee Pete Giacoma stopped the bout at 2': 54 of the 12th round because the former welterweight and middleweight champion had been battered into helplessness in the late going after having been floored in the eighth round. In their first title fight at San Francisco last Aug. 28, Gene scored a TKO over Carmen in the 14th round. Those two TKO's are the only knockouts against Basilio’s record of. 54 15 defeats and seven draws. Adams Central Band In Festival Parade The Adams Central high school band, directed by Don Gerig, will march in the Mjgrmaid festival parade at North Webster Saturday afternoon. The school’s Senior band will rehearse at 7 o’clock this evening at the school, and the junior band at 8 o’clock. The intermediate band met this afternoon.

Judge Ethan Allen Doty, deferring sentence, set a hearing Aug. 1 on Friedman’s motion. Doty said after the venfict that "we cannot have people tampering with our athletes. Philadelphia has always been known for clean athletics and we propose to keep it so.” Robinson, a slim righthander, testified Friedman attempted to bribe him in Robinson’s hotel room on the day he pitched and won the second game of a twinight doubleheader with the Cincinnati Reds here last Sept. 22. Robinson was lifted for a pinchhitter in the seventh. Friedman, testifying in his own defense, said he merely offered to lend Robinson money after he learned that the pitcher had been robbed.

Io Contact Giles r■ t p On Player Protest CINCINNATI. Ohio <UPH — Frank Scott, general roprrsenlatlvr ot the major league player* organization. said he would contact National league President Warren Giles today to present the Pittaburgh Pirates' protest against playing a Sunday doublehcader after a Saturday night game. But Scott was unlikely to get much accomplished in light of Giles' ruling on the case. The NL president said Wednesday that "1 expect the game to be played as scheduled." Pirate hurler Bob Friend raised the issue with the league office after the players protested playing the Sunday. July 10 doubleheader with Philadelphia following a Saturday night contest with the Phils, “We feel that this doubleheader is coming at an important time of the season when we are making a run for the pennant," said Friend. He said the players feel that it would be “too strenuous." Giles wired Friend Wednesday that the Phils management was "not violating any rules or any agreemerits with the players in scheduling the game as they did." The game is a rained out contest earlier this season. Scott said the major league player representatives would be canvassed on whether to support the Pirates’ stand. "If the majority of the clubs do so," he said, "then the major league players will formally sanction the Pittsburgh club’s refusal to play the second game.” \ Ij I “Your son was just here with his Little League team!"
