Luis Arroyo Saving Wins For Yankees By FRED DOWN United Preu International It looks like Whitey Ford wil go on winning as long as Luis Arroyo's arm holds up. That’s a familiar quip in the New York Yankees’ clubhouse these days but it’s not funny to the Yankees’ American League rivals. They know the chunky, 32-year-old Arroyo was supposed to be washed up as a major leaguer a year ago but he somehow manages to find the holes in their . bats. The ex-St. Louis Cardinal lefthander hustled to Ford’s rescue again Thursday night to preserve a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The win raised Ford’s record to 6-1 but it was the fourth time Arroyo has come 'to his assistance this season. In all, Arroyo has made 17 relief appearances for the Yankees and has been credited with seven “saves” this year. Seeks 20 Victories With Arroyo to back him up in the late innings. Ford has rebounded from his mediocre 12-9 campaign in 1960 and is well on his way toward achieving the first 20-victory season of his career. Ford has been a star since 1950 but has never attained the 20-win class that is commonly accepted as the mark of a star pitcher. The Cleveland Indians routed Los Angeles Angels, 13-5, and moved to within 3% games of first place when the Minnesota Twins scored an 11-inning, 7-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers; the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox. 6-4, and the Kansas City Athletics downed the — Washington Senators, 4-3, in other American League games. Sandy Koufax pitched a three* hitter and Tommy Davis hit his eighth homer of the season as the Los Angeles Dodgers shaded the St. Louis Cardinals, 1-0, and moved to within a half-game of first place in the only National League game. Kubek, Blanchard Homer Tony Kubek and Johnny Blanchard hit two-run homers to lead the Yankees' 11 - hit attack that dealt Billy Muffett his fourth loss. Arroyo relieved Ford with two men on base and none out in the eighth inning and pitched hitless ball of the way. Jackie Jensen homered for Boston. Willie Kirkland and Johnny Romano drove in four runs each and Kirkland. Romano. Woody Held and Bubba Phillips hit homers to 8 lead the Indians' 17-hit attack. Jim Grant staggered through 6 2-3 innings to pick up his fourth win with Barry Latman cleaning up. Leroy Thomas hit two homers for the Angels. The Twins overcame a five-run first-inning deficit to send the game into extra innings on Reno Bertoia’s run-scoring ninth-inning single and won it in 11th when Jim Lemon singled in Lennie Green. Paul Giel, ex-Minne-

Orioles Rout Score The Orioles scored four runs in the first inning and routed Herb Score before he retired a batter to pave the way for Steve Barber’s sixth win. Hoyt Wilhelm relieved in the eighth and shut out the White Sox for the last two innings. Sherman Lollar hit a three-run homer for the White Sox. Joe Nuxhall, 32-year-old ex-Cin-cinnatl left-hander, pitched a seven hitter to win his second game for the Athletics.

Eddie Sachs To Seek Lead On Initial Lap By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Eddie Sachs vowed today to "give it all I’ve got” to beat the pack to the first and most hazardous turn when the 500-mile Memorial Day auto race opens Tuesday. He is in a good spot to take the lead at the outset of the 200lap grind since he sits on the pole—the inside position in the first of 11 rows of three cars that line up for the flying start. And he said he is going to be alert so the flying start won’t be a duplication of last year when he also sat on the pole and two other drivers beat him into the southwest turn. “Last year they told me about the responsibility of leading the pace lap, that I should take it easy to insure a safe lap,” recalled the Allentown, Pa., restaurant owner. At First Turn “Heck, I had so much, to do I couldn’t stay in front. I was in third spot going into that first turn. I lost the firs lap to (Rodger) Ward and (Jim) Rahmann.” So this won’t happen again, the fast - talking Sachs said he’ll “drive all the way until I'm in first place—l really try to lead going into that first turn.” However, he isn’t kidding himself. He said he is aware that several other drivers have the same idea. “Jim Hurtubise might try for the early lead, and Ward is right behind me,” said Sachs. “That Ward is one of the toughest competitors. and so is Hurtubise.” Sachs also predicted that former winner Troy Ruttman and Rathmann, the defending “500” champ, will work their way through the field to battle for the lead. <■ Lset year Sachs led 21 laps in the first half of the race and set speed records for 125, 150 and 175 miles. Then his steering system went bad and he was out of the race after 132 laps. Twice, while he led the race, he was forced to make pit stops and the second time he was out of the race. He [was awarded 21st place at the finish and collected 59,390. But Sachs, competing for his fifth time here, has yet to finish the race. This time he hopes to do much better. Cals Meeh “Fantastic” “My chances of winning are excellent because Clint Brawner is a fantastic mechanic," said Sachs, “The car has never been touched since he brought it here.” Sachs isn’t talking race strategy. He said it is impossible to set a pattern because of the heavy early traffic on the race course. “You just tel yourself you gotta go as hard as you can.” he said. “The minute you relax, some eager beaver sucks you up his tailpipe, like (Parnelli) Jones or Hurtubise.” On one thing, though, Sachs has definite ideas. “If I win the race. I’ll retire as undefeated champion and make my home here. I’ll be satisfied to have reached one ambition in life and will start a new one in sales and merchandising. “I want to give somebody the best years of my life.” Platt, 32, Linton, has been named to succed Charles “Chuck" Johnson as head football coach at Auburn High School. > The Auburn School Board an-

The unfavorable weather didn’t help the pros at all in their expectations to rip apart the 6,605 yard Speedway course which was so simple last year when 63 players broke par on the first round. Thursday, only 38 bettered the par of 71 and nobody approached the performance of Jerry Barber’s course record 63 on the opening day of the 1960 event.
