Reds Defeat Dodgers, Hike League Margin By FRED DOWN United Press International The major leagues staged an early July 4 celebration Sunday with a display of fireworks involving a home run record, a brawl and a 380-foot force play which recaled the most famous “boner” in basebal history. _____ When the short tempers and long homers had at last been all recorded it was a day on which: —Norm Cash hit three home runs as the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians split a doubleheader to move within four of Rudy York's 23-year-old big league mark of 18 homers in one month. —Volatile Jimmy Piersal touched off a near riot when he scuffled with pitcher Jim Running during the Tigers’ 6-3 first-game victory and Vic Power narrowly avoided a “Merkle boner on the play which enabled the Indians to win the second game, 4-3. —The Cincinnati Reds fought off late-inning threats to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2. and go three games in front in the National League. —The Chicago White Sox whipped the Washington Senators,. 7-3 and 6-3, to run their winning I streak to 10 games and give them 17 victories in their last 18 games. —A record 16 pitchers saw action aS the Baltimore Orioles downed the Los Angeles Angels, 9-8, in a four-hour and 42-minute 14-inning marathon. Knocks In Four Cash drove in four runs with his 22nd and 23rd homers of the season to spark the Tigers in their opener and his 24th of the season in the nightcap gave him a total of 14 for the month. Piersall precipitated the brawl on the field when Running hit him on the shoulder with a pitch in the fifth inning. Piersall charged to the mound and began to thy o*’ 0 *’ punches as both benches emptied and players swarmed onto the field. Piersal, Johnny Temple and Bob Hale al were ejected when order was restored. Power avoided goattjf horns jgf monumental proportions in the ninth inning of the second game, , which ended when Chuck Essej gian hit a 380-foot drive to ngh.t« field with the bases filed and one out. Power, thinking the ball would go over the fence for a homer, neglected to run and was forced out at second base when Al Kaline relayed the carom off the fence to second base. Essegian loyt credit for a hit but Mike de la Hoz’ run counted because the forceout of power at second base was only the second of the the same type of play bv Fred Merkle which cost the New York Giants the 1908 pennant and'causra him to be ridiculed ■ for a half-century. , Score In First Vada Pinson's double was .the kev blow of a first inning in fc Reds scored .1 three The Other Day .we were told jMMMK • that all experts agree that build- B ings that stand . ■ in the open should be equip- oftfcyped with good lightning conductors (rods' . p for maximum *“ ' safetv It is Zintsmoster estimated that about 2WM> buildings a year in the Ui -ed States are struck by lightning.

Indiana Stars Are Defeated By Kentucky INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The cold-shooting Indiana high school basketball All-stars couldn’t find the range Saturday night and went down to an upsfet 78-75 defeat qt the hands of a similar Kentucky squad. Fonfeßhfc winners, the victory was revenge for an 82-71 humiliation by the Hoosiers a week earlier in Louisville. It was only Kentucky’s seventh victory in the 27-game series of summer benefit games. r— The Kentuckians, paced by Vic Bender, Winston Moore and Terry MObley, were never headed although Indiana managed to tie the score once, 25-25, and came within one point on other occasions. • Only the clutch shooting of Ronnie Hughes of Kokomo kept the Hoosiess in the game near the finish. And his efforts were in vain as the Indiana squad missed too many easy layups and too many free throws. Dick VanArsdale of Indianapolis Manual gave Hoosier fans a last flicker of hope when he hit a pair of free throws with <l3 seconds left to make it 76-75. But the Hoosiers had to foul to get the ball and Mobley canned two charity tosses for the final margin. Hughes, who shared scoring honors with big Walt Sahm of Indianapolis Cathedral with 16 points each, won “Star of Stars honors for the game on the strength of his clutch performance. Bender topped the scoring for Kentucky with 14 points. VanArsdale and his twin brother, Tom, who scored 26 points each in the first game of this year’s series, managed only 14 apiece Saturday night and Dick did not get his first basket until the second half. Mobley scored 13 points for Kentucky while Moore and Randy Embry contributed 12 each.

The Bullpen By 808 BHRALUKA

DAVE Anderson, Indians’ pitch-er-catcher, and Lon Hawkins of the Red Sox, have been named this week’s “Pitcher of the Week,” and “Hitter of the Week.” Hawkins had three hits in six trips during the past week, including two home runs and a double, while scoring three times. Hawkins, who divides his time between the mound, first base, and the outfield, belted a two-run homer and a double Thursday night as the Sox tost to the Tigers 4-3. He also crashed a two-run blast and walked once Wednesday/ when 1 the Senators outslugged the Red Sox, 13-11. BIG Dave Anderson didn’t leave much doubt as to whom the pitching award would go, as the righthander blanked the Yankees on one hit Wednesday. Anderson, a vetoran of L. L. play, struck out the amazing total of 15 batters, whiffing the side in the second, third, and fourth innings. A single by Dan Strickler with two out in the third ruined the tall righty’s bid for a no-hitter. Only three outs were made by the Yankees, other than the strikeout route. Two were ground outs to the second baseman, and the third a fielder’s choice. STRICKLER chucked a fine ball game himself, permitting only two earned runs, and four hits, while fanning eight and walking only one. THE only trouble Anderson encountered was in the last inning, when the Sox filled the bases on two errors and a walk. The next batter hit into a force play at home, and big Dave fanned the next two hitters. WOWEE! What a dog eat dog battle the six L. L. teams are waging against each other, as the league appears to be better balanced than ever before in its nineyea r history. No less than three different teams have led the league in just the past week alone. The Red Sox began the past week on top of the heap, but they lost Tuesday to the Senators, who moved into the top spot. The Tigers then handed the Red Sox their second loss of the week, while moving into a percentage tie with the Senators for the top spot. WAR has been declared! IT appears that the Braves of the Pony League have finally found themselves, after dropping their first three games of the season. They thumped the Cubs 13-0 Monday and whipped Monmouth 11-7 Thursday. The Braves lost some., real good boys from last year’s outfit, but have some real fine ones left in Omlor, Cookson, Egly, Blythe, etc. ■ r HERE are the top ten hitters in the Little League thus far, with at least ten at bats needed to qualify. Included are at bats, runs, hits, and average:
