Athletics End Losing Streak With Two WinsBy MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Kansas City manager Hank Bauer came off the bench and put himself squarely on the spot to prove that doing it yourself still is the best way to get anything done. Bauer, who will bow out as an active player in six more days because he honestly feels he “can’t do the job anymore,” proved differently Friday night when he drove in the winning run as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning of the nightcap. Bauer’s blow clinched a doubleheader sweep for Kansas City over Washington, the A’s winning the second game, 9-7 after snapping a five-game losing streak with an 8-3 triumph in the opener. Here was the situation: The Senators twice had blown three run leads. With the score tied 7-all, Dave Sisler came in to pitch for them in the 10th and filled the bases by yielding singles to Jerry Lumpe and Norm Siebern and a walk to Gene Stephens. Southpaw Carl Mathias relieved Sisler and Lou Klimchock was sent up to bat for Joe Pignatano but was recalled. In place of Klimchock, Bauer, who will be 39 in two weeks, put himself up and promptly came through with a sacrifice fly to left field that scored Lumpe with the tie-breaking run. Wayne Causey then singled in an insurance run.

Rakow Goes Distance In the opener, Ed Rakow went the distance for the first time this season, pitching a seven-hit-ter to beat Joe McClain and register his second victory. The Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees, 6-1, but the Yanks still clung to first place by three percentage points when the Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers, 5-2. The Baltimore Orioles nipped the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, and the Cleveland Indians downed the Los Angeles Angels, 7-5. In the National League, the Chicago Cubs edged the Cincinnati Reds, 8-7, in 10 innings but Cincy still preserved its five-game lead when the Philadelphia Phillies snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 innings. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Braves, 2-1, and the Pittsburgh Pirates topped the San Francisco Giants. 6-4. Sheldon Helps Chisox Rookie Roland Sheldon of the Yankees uncorked three wild pitches in one inning—one short of the major league record—and the White Sox took advantage of them to score three runs that clinched Juan Pizarro’s fifth victory. The Twins handed Frank Lary of the Tigers his fifth defeat when they tagged him for four of their five runs, including a homer by Bob Allison. Dick Williams’ three-run homer in the ninth inning powered the Orioles to their victory over the Red Sox. Don Dillard singled home the tie-breaking run during a two-run eighth inning rally after Willie Kirkland hit his 16th homer in the seventh inning for Cleveland. Bobby Locke was the winner and Jim Donohue the loser. Battle With Homers The Cubs - Reds’ game was a battle of home runs but it was decided by Dick Bertell’s pinch single off loser Jim Brosnan in the 10th. Billy Williams hit two homers for the Cubs and George Altman’s two-run homer in the ninth tied the score at 7-aIL Frank Robinson hit his 25th for

U. S. Davis Cuppers Win First Matches ST. LOUIS (UPI) —Eduardo Zuleta and Miguel Olcera of Ecuador’s Davis Cup Team will team ,up today against Chuck McKinley, St. Louis, and Dennis Ralston, Bakerfield, Calif., after losing their singles matches Friday. The United States scored a double victory Friday in the first day’s singles matches when Bernard Tut Barzen stopped Zuleta, S-0, 6-1, 6-1, and McKinley, having a little more trouble with Olvera and a headache, won his match, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, 6-2,. Bartzen, 33, from Dallas, Tex., was too much for Ecuador's number two fnan, allowing Zuleta only two games in the entire match. The winner of this second round American zone play will advance to meet the winner of the Cana-dian-Mexican-Moroccan series. | Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Don Fullmer, 22-year-old brother of National Boxing Association middleweight champion Gene Fullmer, is really behind the eight ball as he fights Buffalo’s Rocky Fumerelle in Madison Square Garden tonight. Fullmer, the younger, once ranked in the top 10 and would like to get back up there again. He well could make it, too, if he stows away the Buffalo middleweight who has won 26 of 27 bouts, 12 by knockouts. But the crushing insect in the ointment is that even if he fought all the way up to number one challenger, what commission would let two brothers go at it for the title? Which means that Don is as frustrated as a Bikini watcher with busted binoculars. Here's another tipoff on the phony quality of the annual autumn idiocy of naming All America football teams. Vince Lombardi, coach of .the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League, thinks he has a real solid gold find in Vai Keckin, a rookie quarterback who weighs 220 pounds, is six feet, five inches tall and has a whiplash arm. Keckin went to Mississippi Southern — and how many All America votes do you suppose he received compared with the tom tom beating done by the established football factories? Ken Hunt, the Los Angeles Angels’ outfielder who was 27 this week, has high hopes of breaking Ted Williams’ all-time record of 31 home runs by a rookie. With the season half gone he has 18. The National Football League office recently received a call from the Brooklyn district attorney’s office. Nope, not about a fix. They wanted to know what time the 1960 playoff game was televised ... A burglary suspect was using the game as an alibi. the Reds. Two triples by Lee Walls helped the Phils end their losing streak against the Dodgers. Walls tripled home frfro runs off starter Johnny Podres as a pinch hitter in the eighth, then led of the 10th with another triple off loser Roger Craig and scored the winning run on Don Demeter’s single. Carl Sawatski’s ninth inning homer off Bob Buhl broke up a 1-all struggle between the Cards and Braves. Lindy McDaniel brought his record to 6-3 in relief of Larry Jackson. Roberto Clemente powered the Pirates to their victory over the Giants with a grand slam homer in the eighth inning. Clemente’s 13th homer of the year came off rookie Dick Lemay, who had taken over for starter Jack San-_. ford with two on and San Francisco in front, 4-L==-

British Open Faces Possible Cancellation BIRKDALE, England (UPI) — The British Open golf championship was faced with the first cancellation in its history today if heavy rains and high winds continue and make it impossible to play thp final two rounds of the tournament before nightfall. The last 36 holes originally were scheduled for Friday, but were postponed, until today because of the rain and wind. The announcement; by the championship committee of the Royal and Ancient Club that the tournament were to be declared “void” if it can’t be finished today was without precedent in the 101-year history of the Open and was greeted with heavy criticism. Also under fire was the com-, mittee’s announcement that the tourney would have a death” playoff for first place today if it ended in a tie—also without precedent in this championship. Top U.S. hopeful Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pa., called the sudden-death decision “unjust and unworthy of this great tournament,” and as for the decision to void the tournament if it couldn’t be finished today, the U.S. star said, “I’ve never heard of any country winding up an Open championship without a decision.” The committee said it made the two decisions because it could not postpone the final two rounds any longer. The tournament cannot be played on Sunday; because of the British ban for charging admission for athletic events on that day. And the committee said many of the players have “unbreakable” commitments that would prevent their remaining here after Sunday. Palmer said he has a commitment to meet Gary Player of South, Africa in a televised golf match at Fort Wayne, Ind., on Tuesday but would willingly stay over here until the tournament is concluded, if necessary. The committee said the prize money will be awarded according to the standings at the end of the second round, if the tournament can’t be completed. In that case, Dai Rees of Wales and Harold Henning of South Africa would split the first-place money. Rees, the captain of the British Ryder Cup team, was tied with Henning after 36 holes at 142. Palmer and defending champion Kel Nagle of Australia were one stroke off the pace at 143. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Canadian Open Is Now Family Affair WINNIPEG (UPI) — The Canadian Open golf championship has developed into a family affair between the Cupit brothers, Jacky and Buster, who entered the final round today in a close battle for first place. Jacky, 23, of Longview, Tex., sued a six-under par 64 over the rain-soaked NiakwA course Friday that gave him the lead with a 199 total. Buster, 34, of Fort Smith, Ark., turned in a record breaking seven-under 63 that left him one stroke back of his brother. Jacky, who joined the tour only in February after leaving the University of Houston and has picked up more than $13,000 since then, is the better shot maker according to Buster. “He used to be my caddy, but I he’s got it over me so bad that I feel I’m scraping the ball around when I’m playing withi him. He hits it so well.” The coolest rival to the Cupits was George Knudson, a 24-four-oid bridegroom of two weeks who learned his golf in Winnipeg and is now a playing pro out of Toronto. The slender, bespectacled Knudson fired a 65 after rounds of 68-72 to put him at 205. Driver Is Arrested On Speeding Charge Dwight H.
