Yankees Hike Little League Lead With Win The Yankees upped their league lead to one full game Wednesday night as they scored six times in the seventh inning to hand the Red Sox a 7-1 defeat. The Yanks now own a five win, one loss record, compared to the 4-2 marks of both the White Sox and Tigers. The two teams battled through six regulation innings, scoring only one run apiece. Little League rules permit a pitcher to hurl only six iniungs in one game, and tiie Sox were forced to remove Jim Cass, who hatyheld the Yanks to only one run in the first six frames. The Yanks put together three walks and two Sox errors with singles by Kenny Wolfe, Dan Strickler, Bob Koos and Steve Johnson to score Six runs in the seventh and put the game out of reach. '.. Rich Scores The league leaders had drawn first blood when they scored in the first inning. Jerry Rich led off with single and Stu Spegel’s base hit moved Rich to third and he scored from there on a single by Koos. The Sox matched this in their half of the third when Chuck Cook singled with two out, moved to third on Cass’ single, and scored on Bill Borror’s double. Both starting pitchers threw fine ball, each going the first six innings. Cass struck out 12, hit one batter, and did not issue a base on balls. Stu Speigel, who started for the Yanks, struck out nine and walked only one. Dan Strickler came on in the seventh for the winners, walked the first batter, and then struck out the side to preserve the win for Speigel, his third victory without a

(UPD — Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane, a member of baseball s Hall Os Fame, died today at Lake Forest Hospital. Cochrane, who was 59, was signed by the late Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1925 and spent nine years with the Athletics before moving to Detroit.' With the Tigers he enjoyed his greatest diamond sucess as catcher and later as manager. He sparked the, Tigers to pennants in 1934 and 1935. But Cochrane was plagued by poor health after those two big seasons. He was forced to rest at a Wyoming ranch midway through the 1936 season and_ returned to the Tigers for the final month of the campaign, leading a surge that earned Detroit a second place finish. George Caldwell, administrator of the private hospital, said Cochrane “died after a prolonged illness.” - He said Cochrane was brought to the hospital from his home in nearby Lake Bluff on June 25. Caldwell, who declined to specify the cause of death, said Cochrane’s wife was at the bedside when her husband died.

Robin Roberts Scores Fourth Win Os Season By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Write r A courtesy telephone call to “has been” Robin Roberts is paying off for the Baltimore Orioles in the major league comeback of the year. The 35-year-old Roberts, handed his unconditional release by the New York Yankees on May 11, left his number with Orioles’ General Manager Lee MacPhail. who confesses: “The name was Robin Roberts ... I didn’t know how much he could have left in his arm . . . But I returned the call out of courtesy to his record and his reputation.” It appears today it was one of the best decisions MacPhail ever made. Roberts, who had a 1-10 record with the Philadelphia Phillies last season and showed a composite 55-79 record over his last five seasons in the National League, turned in a five-hitter Wednesday night to pitch the Orioles to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Fourth Straight Win It was Roberts’ fourth straight win for the Orioles after losing his first two decisions, raised his mark to 4-2 for the season and, in the process, reduced his earned run average to 2.50. In 54 innings, the one-time gopher ball champ of the National League, who’s become a slow curveball pitcher, has yielded only two homers to American League hitters. Jim Gentile gave Roberts the runs he needed when he connected for his 18th and 19th homers of tfie season to drive in all the Orioles’ runs. The White Sox scored their run off Roberts on a single by Nelson Fox, a walk and Joe Cunningham’s single. The New York Yankees beat the Minnesota Twins. 7-3, the Detroit Tigers shut out the Cleveland Indians, 4-0, the Kansas City Athletics defeated the Washington Senators, 4-1, and the Los Angeles Angels whipped the Boston Red Sox, 3-0, in other American League games. In the National League, the first-place San Francisco Giants downed the Cincinnati Reds, 6-3, the Los Angeles Dodgers topped the Milwaukee Braves, 6-2, the Pittsburgh Pirates shaded the New York Mets, 6-5, in 10 innings and the St. Louis Cardinals swept the Chicago Cubs. 4-0 and 8-0. Tom Tresh drove in four runs with a homer and a single and Ralph Terry pitched an eight-hit-ter fotyhis ninth victory for the Yahkees who handed Jim Kaat “fiis fifth defeat. Roger Maris and Don Mincher also homered — Maris connecting for the first time since June 16. Paul Foytack knuckleballed a six-hitter for his sixth win against one loss to give Detroit its victory over Dick Donovan and the Indians. The loss was Donovan's third against 11 victories. Rocky Colavito and Jerry Osborne had two hits each for the Tigers. Ed Rakow pitched an eight-hit-ter behind a Kansas City attack that included two hits each by Billy Consolo and Ed Charles and Don Lee fired a five-hitter to win his third game for the Angels as Boston’s Ike Delock suffered his first loss of the season. Ed Bailey’s two-run homer was the big blow in the Giants’ fifth straight triumph and Felipe Alou added an insurance run with an eight-inning round-tripper. Bob Bolin shut out the Reds for the last 3 2-3 innings to win his first game while Ted Wills lost hi s first game. Drysdale Matched Purkey Don Drysdale matched Bob Purkey as the majors’ topwinning pitcher at 13 victories each with a five-hit, seven-strike-out performance. Willie Davis hit a towering two-run homer an d Tommy Davis singled home his 77th and 78th runsof the season for the key blows of the Los Angeles offense. Bob Skinner singled home Bill Virdon in the 10th inning as Diomedes Olivo won his third game without a loss and the Pirates dealt Roger Craig his 10th defeat for the Mets. Frank Thomas horn-1 ered for the Mets.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — Sports always have been in the realm of high finance but the big switch of the current era which becomes more and more obvious today is that the athlete himself is capi-. talizing completely on his talents. The promoters and the owners in the past ordinarily carried off the lion’s share of the loot The men who made it for them, and guys like Jimmy Foxx and Earl Sande are typical examples, too often wound up with the monetary shorts. Indicative of the new trend is a recently organized company known as Shoemaker - Harmatz Enterprises. It is a company headed by jockeys Willie Shoemaker and Bill Harmatz. One of their projects is a $2 million deal involving 862 acres in speculative California real estate. They also own a bowling alley, commercial property and several hundred acres elsewhere. “Many of the biggest money winners among the jockeys spent big while they were making it and wound up with nothing for the future,” Harmatz allows. “I began to think what happens if I get busted up in a fall and can’t get back in riding condition again.” Nap Regretted Decision Nap Lajoie, one of baseball’s immortals, ended up in very modest circumstances. It was his oft-voiced regret that in his halcyon days he refused to invest in a new soft drinCc company that was being formed. An outfit named Coca Cola. Ty Cobb did Indianapolis Police Chief Heads Group EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) —The Indiana Police Chiefs Association wound up its three-day convention here Wednesday with the election of Indianapolis Chief Robert E. Reilly as president of the organization.

and it made him a millionaire. The big names of sports today don’t even have to invest their own money, on the whole. Ted Williams sold h i s fishing company — and his name — to Sears and Roebucks for a gigantic payoff. Ben Hogan did the same thing with AMF. Sam Snead is incorporated and his private company is involved in par three golf courses, a golf cart concern and a string of golf schools. Arnold Palmer isn’t called golfs golden boy for nothing. He has 14 different companies which, aside from playing income which may go close to SIOQ.OOO this year, according to various sources will bring him anywhere from SIOO,OOO to $150,000 annually. Many Stars Incorporate Baseball players like Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris have led the incorporation parade i\ the diamond sport, a great many--pf them branching out into off-seY-son enterprises ranging from bowling alleys to real estate. 1 There is an outfit called Major League Bowling and Recreation which has a large string of bowling centers throughout the South. Members of this corporation include golfers Jay and Lionel Hebert, Snead, Wally Burkemo, Billy Maxwell, Frank Stranahan and Al Balding and baseball’s Freddie Hutchinson and Mayo Smith. The president is Dick Kazmaier. former All-American gridder from Princeton. Stranahan com-

plains that he has "so many ven* tures going” he can’t devote enough time to golf any more. Young Jack Nicklaus, the new U. S. Open champion, is another of the budding tee tycoons. His pro contracts are reported to guarantee an income of more than SIOO,OOO in his first year. Taking a dispassionate look at these muscular financial wizards, you’d have to guess that the golfers have the best of it. When they have a bad day, nobody bawls ’em out. If they don’t make the cut, it simply provides more time to go out and sign new contracts.
