White Sox In First Place In American Loop By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer A cynical observer of the early American League pennant race might well remark today that while the cat’s away the mice will play. The role of the cat in the AL is played, of course, by the New York Yankees — tyranical rulers of Joe Cronin’s house for the last three years. And the role of the mice is being played on a day-to-day basis by long-suffering teams supposedly doomed for the second division. i Result: A different first-place occupant in the AL on each of the last three days. First it was the Kansas City Athletics. Then it was the Boston Red Sox. And today it is the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox moved into first place Wednesday night when they scored eight runs In the seventh inning and went'on td wallop the Athletics, 8-3. The White Sox’ uprising came after Ed Rakow had pitched a perfect game for , six full innings — retiring 18 consecutive batters on a total of 60 pitches. Orioles Wallop Boston The Red Sox tumbled out of first place when they were walloped, 10-4, by the Baltimore Orioles while the Yankees (are they just slow getting started or is this going to be one of those years?) were beaten, 6-6, on a two-run ninth-inning homer by A1 Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. The Washington Senators defeated the Cleveland Indians, 6-3, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, in other AL games. Mike Hershberger broke Rakow’s perfect-game spell with a single to open the seventh inning and also had a double before the

Big blows of the inning were a two-run double by Pete Ward and a threerun double by J. C- Martin. Eddie Fisher went eight innings to win his second game for the Sox while the loss was Rakow’s second against three wins. The Orioles lathered four Boston pitchers for 17 hits, including Jim Gentile’s fifth homer of the season and three singles and a double by Brooks Robinson to deal Gene Conley his first defeat. Steve Barber allowed 12 hits but went the distance with the aid of three double plays to become the season’s first six-game winner.

Dodgers Turn Loose Power To Whip Cards By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer That bomb Walter Alston was supposed to be sitting on has exploded—and all but tore apart the St. Louis Cardinal pitching staff. It only goes to show what the Los Angeles Dodgers can do when they stop fightig among themselves and concentrate on the enemy. Forty-eight hours ago the Dodgers looked like they were coming apart at the seams. Today they look—at least to shellshocked Cardinal pitchers — like the team that is favored to win the National League penant. The Dodgers accomplished the turnabout with a two-game display of power that accounted for 22 runs on 26 hits. 1716 fireworks included six doubles, two triples and four homers powering the way to successive 11-1 and 11-5 victories over the Cardinals. Musial Sets Record The latter, accomplished with six runs in the last two innings Wednesday night, enabled the Dodgers to celebrate despite a home run by Stan Musial which enabled the 42-year-old Cardinal star to pass Babe Ruth and set a new major league career record of 1,357 extra base hits. Musial’s history-making homer came in the fourth inning off Bob Miller and was his second round tripper of the season. Die San Francisco Giants walloped the Milwaukee Braves, 12-5 j the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-5, the Cincinnati Reds topped the Houston Colts, 3-2, and the New York Mets edged the Philadelphia Phils, 3-2, in other NL action Willie Davis drove in three runs with two hcitiers and a triple, Wally Moon had a double and two singles, Maury Wills, Jim Gilliam and Ron Fairly had two hits each and Dodger baserunners stole four bases in the carnival at St. Louis. Ron Perranoski, who pitched 2 2-3 innings of middle-inning relief, received credit for his fifth win against one defeat. The Giants scored seven runs in the fourth inning—their singleinning high for the season—and wet on to tag Bob Hendley with his second loss, Willie McCovey, had a homer and a single and Jim -Davenport, Felipe Alou and Jose Pagan also- had two hits each to lead, the 11-hit San Francisco attacl^. Cubs Keep Winning The Cubs ran their winning streak to five games—their longest since 1961 —with a four-run eighth-inning rally touched off by Nelson Mathews' homer and given further impetus by doubles by Jim Schaeffer, Lou Brock and Ron Santo. The bulk of the attack was against Elroy Face, Pirate relief ace, who suffered his second loss of the year. Joe Nuxhall pitched a sevenhitter to win his second game of the season for the Reds with Johnny Edwards’ two-run fourthinning single providing the winning margin. Bob Bruce struck out eight Reds in six innings but was tagged with his third defeat.
