Chisox Grab A. L. Lead; Phils Widen N. L. Margin

By CURT BLOCK UPI Sports Writer They’re No. 1 in the Windy City and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Chic ago White Sox gained first place by a half game in the American League Thursday for the first time since June 18 by completing a four-game sweep of the slumping New York Yankees and tonight they play host to the Baltimore Orioles, who have just suffered their worst “break” of the season. In the next nine days, firstplace Chicago and second-place Baltimore face each other eight times to conclude their season series. The Orioles Thursday lost a 4-3 decision to the Red Sox, but more important, they lost slugging John (Boog) Powell, who fractured a bone in hiisTeft wrist while chasing a fly ball. Sox Are Healthy Chicago has a- healthy stable entering the four gameset With the Birds at Comiskey Park and comes off a 5-0 blanking of New York, the team they couldn’t beat the first 10 times they met. The Yankees were 5-15 over the last two weeks while playing the two top clubs and have dropped 4% games off the pace. Thursday the Sox pecked away at long-time nemesis Whitey Ford for nine singles and five runs and broke the Yankee southpaw’s scoreless inning streak over them, which spanned two seasons, at 46 with two runs in the second inning as skipper Al Lopez celebrated his 56th birthday. *' Johnny Buzhardt, never beaten by the defending league champions, took his fifth career decision over New York and raised is season record to 10-6 with a seven -■ hit route - going performance.

Dave Morehead’s eighth win of the campaign and was credited ■with his 21st save when he put the skids on an eighth inning Baltimore rally. Other AL Action In the only other American League games, Kansas City downed Cleveland 7-4, and Los Angeles beat Detroit 4-3. In Thursday’s National League contests, Philadelphia took two from Pittsburgh 2-0 and 3-2 to increase their lead to 7% games, Cincinnati defeated San Francisco 10-7, and Milwaukee drubbed Los Angeles 8-2. Two run singles by Rocky Colavito and Doc Edwards off reliever Don McMahon in the eighth inning helped the A’s to their victory. Cleveland had taken aS 3-2 lead in the seventh ?j*jp Held’s double. West Stock entered the game in the seventh after K. C. starter Bob Meyer, who issued 10 passes, began to tire. The Angels scored four times in the top of the seventh, with the winning hit being Lu Clinton’s single. Dennis McLain, who started for Detroit, wa s charged with allowing all four runs although Clinton’s hit was served up by Julio Navarro. Dan Osinski got the victory by hurling four scoreless innings in relief of starter George Brunet, who fanned TO. , National League The latest hero for the pennant hopeful Phillies is Speedy Gonzalez. Formerly known as Tony Gonzalez, the Philadelphia outfielder scored the winning run from second base Thursday night and now, as far as the Phils are concerned, it’s call me anything but second place. The hustling Phillies took two thrillers from Pittsburgh 2-0 and 3-2 to increase their league lead to 7Vi games. In the second game, after Johnny Callison, often a hero in the past, matched solo home runs with Buc third baseman Bob Bailey, Philadelphia loaded the bases on two singles and an error in the eighth inning agai n s t Pittsburgh’s Don Schwall and, Al Mcßean. Mota Astounded ' Callison then lifted a fly ball to deep center. Pitcher Rick Wise tagged yp and scored easily from third and Gonzalez, on base via Dick Schofield’s miscue, never broke stride 6 in the 180-foot dash and left Manny

Mota astounded in Centerfield. Callison thus drove in all Philadelphia’s sec on d game runs while ex-Met Frank Thomas did the same in the openerRookie Rick Wise (5-1) went eight innings in the nightcap and was yanked in the ninth when the Pirates scored once in favor of veteran Ed Roebuck. Once again Callison showed why he is a prime candidate for most valuable player honors. Roebuck got pinchhitter Jerry Lynch to lift a fly ball to the Phillie rightfielder, who grabbed it and then nailed Bill Mazeroski trying to move from second to third. Hoiper Wins Game In the first game, Thomas clouted his third homer as a Phillie, equalling the total he had in New York, with Clay Dalrymple aboard, in the last of the ninth to break a scoreless tie and give Art Mahaffey his 11th triumph of the season. The Phillie righthander hurled his first complete game since May and gave up only two singles, the first by Mazeroski in the seventh inning. Bob Friend (10-13) was Thomas’ victim and suffered the defeat. Cincinnati stopped San Francisco 10-7, and Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 8-2, in Thursday’s only other National League games. Reds Move UP Cincinnati moved into a tie for second place by scoring six runs in the eighth inning and handing the Giants’ their fifth consecutive loss. Both teams had three home runs in the long ball battle. Frank Robinson, Leo Cardenas and Deron Johnson connected for Cincinnati while Willie. Mays, Orlado Cepeda, and Del Crandall hit San Francisco roundtrippers. For Mays, it was his 38th of the year and 444th of his career, placing him in a tie with Mickey Mantie for most career homers among active players. The Braves rapped out 16 hits as Bob Sadowski gained his seventh victory against 12 defeats. Hank Aaron had four hits and shortstop Denis Menke drove in three runs with a double and a triple. Ron Fairy’s ninth home run in the sixth with Willie Davis aboard deprived Sadowski of a shutout. Further Plans For Monday TV Baseball DETROIT (UPI) — Television viewers will probably be exposed to more baseball in 1965. The Major League Executive Television Committee met for four hours Thursday at Tiger Stadium in Detroit and agreed to submit plans to “interested parties,” including television networks and sponsors, by Sept. 15 for a proposed Monday night “baseball spectacular.” • The proposed program would be a minimum of two hours, in length, including a post and pregame show, and would start in April, 1965. Plans call for a game in an Eastern or Midwestern city to be shown in those states with a Western game to be shown later in Mountain and Western states. The games will not be blacked out in the city where it originates. No date was set for receiving bids fr o m the “interested parties.”

Essig, who shot a 33 on the front . nine, was close on the heels of the leaders until the final hole when he shot into a creek for a two-stroke penalty. While Knych. who had shot a 66 in a tuneup pro-member tourney here Wednesday, blamed his putting woes for his 71 in the opening round, Austgen was perfectly happy with his showing on the greens. “I didn’t miss a put all day that I thought 1 should have made, ’ he said. Ironically Austgen’s best putt of the day, a 25-footer for a birdie, came on the 14th hole and was~ over-shadowed by the hole-in-one by Kuntz who t was playing with hire.
