some clutch base hits good for important RBl’s, its an added bonus. This was the story at Worthwan Field Friday night, as second baseman Kurt Gerig and shortstop Tyler Hill, hitting Ist and 2nd in the order, led the White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox in an extra - inning thriller before a good crowd. Gerig scored the first two White Sox runs and he and Hill batted irt the last two, as their team copped the Little League’s first annual post-season tournament to «dd to the three successive regular season titles they have won. The game wound up boys’ baseball in this city for another summer. The see-saw battle was one of the most exciting at Worthman Field this season and when it was over, it was the Whites who ■ won the battle of the Sox teams. Freak Play Each team scored once in the first inning, and then neither scored again until the sixth, when each scored once. Hie White Sox scored twice in the top half of the first extra inning, and the Red Sox scored once in their half of the inning only to be stopped by a freak play. Trailing 4-2, Greg Cook opened the ining with an infield single, but was forced at second base by Art Mankey. Mankey moved to second as Mark Childs drew a walk, and Tom Hullinger then singled to right to score Mankey. t Childs went to third base and Hullinger to second on the throw home, and third pitch, however, Hill, working in relief, threw the ball over catcher Fred Schultz’s head. Schultz quickly recovered the ball and flipped to Hill who put the tag on a sliding Childs at home plate for the second out. Hill then walked Roop, but got pinchhitter Craig Barkley to line out to Ferig at second base and end the ball game. Score In Ist Hill and Gerig walked to open the game, but Hill was out whin

Brett Lutes’ single hit him in the foot. Gerig and Lutes moved up on a passed ball, and Gerig then scampered home with the game’s first as Fred Schultz grounded out to second base. Cook tied the score for the Red Sox, however, when he opened the last of the first with a walk, went to third on a wild pitch and passed ball, and scored on another wild pitch. Neither team scored again until Gerig went to work leading off the sixth inning. He tripled to rightfield and scored moments later when a pickoff atempt was thrown wildly and went into leftfield. - But the Red Sox wouldn’t quit and centerfielder Roop quickly got his team even in the last of the sixth. Roop singled to right, went to second when the ball was ■ fumbled, and continued to home when the throw from rightfield got through the White Sox infield. Tom Hullinger relieved Red Sox starter Ken Friedt in the top of the seventh inning and gave up a lead-off double to Ron Hammond. Hullinger retired the next two batters before Hill produced a clutch single to right-center-field sending Hammond home with the lead run. Triples Again Gerig then laced another triple to rightfield to score Hill and give the Sox a 4-2 lead before the side was retired. It was the second sacker’s second triple in two inings. * Righthander Ron Kuhnle worked the first three innings for the White Sox, left hander Lutes the next three, and Hill the final frame, with Lutes getting the victory. Kuhnle struck out seven and walked three, while Lutes whiffed five and din’t issue a walk. Hill walked two. Friedt fanned eight- and walked just two in a fine job for the Red Sox, while Hullinger struck out one batter in the inning he worked. The Red Sox outhit the White Sox, 8-6, but three of the. winner’s hits were for extra bases.

Dick Tiger Still On The Comeback Trail NEW YORK (UPD—Former middleweight champion Dick Tiger probably will be matched Monday for a Madison Square Garden fight with contender Joey Archer on Oct. 2 because of the Tiger’s impressive opening comeback victory Friday night. Thirty-four-year-old Tiger of Nigeria stopped “spoiler” Jose Gonzalez of Puerto Rico, 24, in the sixth round of their nationally televised bout at the Garden. A left hook floored Gonzalez for “eight.” When he rose, he was so groggy the referee stopped the bout. Tiger received a guarantee of $7,500 Friday night for his first bout since he lost the 160-pound crown to Joey Giardello at Atlantic City last Dec. 7. Nigerian Dick weighed 163'/4 pounds Friday night; Gonzalez, 16114. For the proffered fight with second-ranking Archer of New York, Tiger will get "at least triple that $7,500,” promoter Harry Markson of the Garden emphasized today.

The “Killer” Keeps Twins In Wins; Dark Is Still Unhappy

By GEORGE C. LANGFORD IP! Sport* Writer When Sam Mele ticks off the woes of his slumping Minnesota Twins, you won't hear the name Harmon Killebrew. Killebrew not only is hot in pursuit of the Babe Ruth-Roger Maris home run mark, but for the first time in years Killebrew has crashed the American League’s top 10 batters list. The barrel - chested slugger has a lifetime major league batting mark of .258, and has never been regarded as a high average hitter. But today he ranked 10th among the AL hitters with a .293 average. In the Twins last 11 games, Killebrew has boosted his average 16 points with 17 hits in 41 at bats. The 28 - year -old outfielder personally ended the Twins’ latest slump of 12 losses in 14 games when he belted his 36th home run with Rich Rollins on base with two out in the ninth inning Friday night to beat the New York Yankees 4-3. Ahead Os Pace The home run put Killebrew six games ahead of Babe Ruth’s 1927 pace, but 12 games behind Roger Maris’ recordsetting 1961 clip when Maris hit 61. Killebrew’s drive came off starter Al Downing, who had nursed a 3-2 lead into the ninth. Rollins poked a single to left with one out and Downirfg retired Tony Oliva before Killebrew connected. Bob Allison had a homer, double and single for the Twins. Oliva, bidding to become the first rookie ever to win the AL batting title, extended his hitting streak to 16 games and raised his average to .341 with two hits. The loss cut the Yankee’s league lead over second place Baltimore to four percentage points. Baltimore split with Kansas City, winning 6-1 then losing 7-6, Chicago blanked Washington 6-0, Cleveland swept two ' frSm "DcTroit T2-T and 4-f and Boston edged Los Angeles 4-3 in other American League action. Bunker won his sixth straight game, ,his fourth without a loss against* > Kansas City and his seventh ’complete game in the opener against the Athletics. Rocky Colavito’s 25th homer spoiled his shutout in the seventh. Ed Charles won the nightcap with a ninth-inning homer off Steve Barber. Dick Brown’s second home run of the game had tied the score in the top of the ninth for. Baltimore. Reliever John Wyatt won his eighth. Struck Out 14 Pizarro struck out 14 while his White Sox teammates raked four Washington pitchers for 12 hits, including Ron Hansen’s 12th hornet'. Pizarro was in trouble only once — in the second when the Senators put runners on second and third with none out. He struck out the side to end the threat. Bell pitched near perfect ball in relief of Jack Kralick in the opener as Cleveland collected 13 hits, including solo homers by Bob Chance and Leon Wagner. Bell retired 18 batters in a row, striking out four. Pete Ramos won the second game with an eight-hitter. He yielded solo blasts to Norm Cash and Gates Brown. Chance drove in three of Cleveland's four runs without a hit, plating two on infield outs and a third on a sacrifice fly. A fourth run scored on a wild pitch by starter and loser Joe

Sparma. Monbouquette shut out the Angels until Los Angeles scored twice in the sixth and added another in the seventh on Bobby Knoops homer. Dick Radatz took over for Monbouquette in the eighth and picked up his 18th save. Eddie Bressoud drove in three Boston runs. NL Action Even when the Giants win nowadays — which is less than half the time — Al Dark isn't happy. In a word, Dark’s trouble is pitching. San Francisco was flaunting one of the best pitching staffs in the National League during May and June. Then in July it collapsed like a punctured balloon and the Giants lost 17 games while winning only 13. Rookie Ron Herbel, who won six games in May and June, had only one victory in July; Jack Sanford, a 16-game winner last season, went on the disabled list; and the bullpen, which had been so brilliant, J ii——, i —| Major Leagues | Hy United Preww Intrrnnilonnl Nntlonnl l.enuue W. 1..

sagged noticeably. Juan Marietta! suddenly became Dark's only reliable starter. "Die Giants’ 8-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Friday night was typical of any game when Marichal isn’t pitching. Manager Dark employed four pitchers, just over the average of 3.5 hurlers he has used in games without Marichal the past two weeks. Nearly Blew Lead Starter Bob Bolin, v a bullpen refugee, was lifted after 2 1-3 innings and five hits and two runs. He was followed in order by winner Bob Shaw, Gaylord Perry, who almost blew a six .run lead in the ninth inning, and Billy O'Dell. Fortunately for the Giants, the Pirates were in a generous mood, kicking in six errors good for three unearned runs. Willie Mays collected three singles and Del Crandall singled twice to produce two runs for the Giants. The victory ended a Pirate winning streak at four games and kept the second-place Giants a game and a half behind the league-leading Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies trounced Los Angeles 6-1, Cincinnati edged St. Louis 7-6, Milwaukee clobbered Chicago 13-3 and New York swept a «doubleheader from Houston 3-0 and 6-2 in other National League action. Joe Moeller pitched a brilliant six innings for the Dodgers, allowing only thre hits and retiring 16 Phillies in a row at one point. But one of the hits was a tiwo-run homer by Johnny Callison in the first inning which gave Phillies starter Chris Short and reliever Jack Baldschun the working margin they needed. Ruben Amaro doubled home a run in the seventh and Clay Dalrymple singled in two runs after a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. The. Cardinals surrendered five unearned runs in the second inning to end their sixgame victory streak. Leo Cardenas, Don Pavletich, Vada Pinson and Frank Robinson - hits for- the Reds. Winning pitcher John Tsitouris ’7-7) also singled home a run. The win lifted the Reds back into third, place, gafnes behind Philadelphia. ftm, Menke Homer Joe Torre and Denis Menke each contributed a home run ' and a triple and Hank Aaron chipped in with a three-run homer in the Braves romp over the Cubs: Righthander Bob Sadowski, who had not started since June 22, went the distance allowing six hits for the Braves, who have won five of their last six. Bob Buhl (12-7) was the loser. Go-Karts Will Run Here Sunday At 4 Go-kart races will be held at the Decatur Speedway Association's track Sunday afternoon, begining at 4 o’clock.
