Yastrzemski hits 2 home runs to give Sox 8-2 win

By Joe Carnieelli UPI Sports Writer Carl Yastrzemski, whose name never popped up in discussions of great home run hitters, is on the verge of dislodging Ted Williams as Boston’s lefthanded hitting home run king. Yastrzemski, who never hit more than 20 home runs in any season before 1967, drove in four runs with his 37th and 38th homers Tuesday night to power the Boston Red Sox to an 8-2 triumph over the Washington Senators. The pair of homers left the hard-hitting Boston outfielder only five short of Williams’ single season high of 43 set in 1949 and tied him with the Hall of Earner’s second best output established in 1946 and repeated in 1957. Yastrzemski has 21 games remaining in which to become Boston’s single season lefty home run king and at his current rate of eight homers per month, he’s almost a sure bet to top Williams. The single season Red Sox high of 50 set by Jimmy Fox in 1938 is quite a way off but not completely out of reach. Elsewhere in the American League, Minnesota held on to

its slim first place lead by routing Cleveland 9-2, Chicago edged New York 5-3, Detroit blanked Kansas City 4-0 and California swept Baltimore twice 7-2 and 11-4. In the only National League action, Philadelphia trimmed Atlanta 4-3 in 11 innings. Yastrzemski’s first homer came with two mates aboard and climaxed a six-run fourth J inning outburst. His second, a solo shot in the seventh raised his league leading runs batted In total to 101. The victory left the Red Sox with a 79-62 mark, one half game behind the pace setting Twins. Rich Rollins drove in three runs with a bases loaded triple as the Twins bombed Sam McDowell for four runs in the first inning en route to their triump over the Indians. Cesar Tovar and Harmon Killebrew singled and Tony Oliva walked before Rollins drilled his triple to left center for three runs. Rollins scored the fourth run of the inning on Rod Carew’s single. Jim Kaat, who was touched for 13 hits, went all the way to pick up his 11th victory of the season. Pinch hitter Smokey Burgess walked with the bases loaded in the third inning, allowing Pete Ward to score the tie breaking run as the White Sox beat the Yankees. Ward and Ken Berry singled off Joe Verbanic to open the third and after a passed ball, Ron Hansen was passed intentionally to fill the bases. Verbanic walked the portly Burgess on five pitches to force in the run. Don Buford homered in the eighth for an insurance run. TTie White Sox, despite their victory, dropped to third place behind Boston and a full game behind Minnesota. Joe Sparma pitched a two hitter and Jim Northrup scored two runs and drove in another to pace the Tigers over the Athletics. Detroit’s victory left them a game and a half behind the Twins.

Bubba Morton drove in eight runs to pace the Angels to a doubleheader sweep of the Orioles. Morton cracked a pair of two run doubles in the opener and drove in four runs with a pair of singles in the second game as he collected four hits in seven appearances for the day. Cookie Rojas’ sacrifice fly in the 11th inning scored Gary Sutherland with the tie breaking run and gave the Phillies a win over the Braves.

Wins Legion championship

MEMPHIS, Term. UPI — Southpaw Johnny Rushing pitched a three-hitter Tuesday night to give Tuscaloosa, Ala., a 1-0 victory over Northbrook, HI., for the American Legion World Series championship. Rushing struck out six and walked none for the victory. The only score in the game was provided by shortstop Bo Baughman who blasted a double in the opening of the seventh inning. He advanced on a wild pitch and then scored on a single by pinch-hitter Woody Sexton. Both teams had one defeat each after Northbrook upset favored Tuscaloosa, 5-0, Monday night.

North dealer. Neither side vulnerable. NORTH A K J 7 2 -V J842 ♦ J + AK86 WEST EAST A A4 465 4 Q 10 7 5 V 3 4 K 6 4 4 AQ109752 4 J 10 5 3 4 Q 9 4 SOUTH 4 Q 109 8 3 4 A K 9 6 4 83 472 The bidding: North East South West 14 34 34 44 Opening lead — four of diamonds. There is no doubt that some hands are harder to play than others. As an example, imagine yourself declarer at four spades in this hand where West leads a diamond to the ace and East returns a heart which you win with the ace. If you are by nature complacent about dummy play, you are likely to wind up going down one. Suppose you lead a trump at trick three, which would seem to be the natural thing to do. West wins with the ace and returns a low heart which East ruffs.

Whatever East returns, you j eventually go down one because I West still has a gilt-edged heart trick. But if you take the hand somewhat more seriously at the start and give it the attention it deserves, you wind up making the contract. You should not feel surprised that East’s heart return is a singleton, because that is the normal expectancy on the bidding, and it is furthermore the one possibility that puts the contract in danger. To protect against the imminent threat, you should ruff a diamond at trick three, cash the A-K of clubs, ruff a club, and only then lead a trump. It is true that West will probably go up with the ace and give partner a ruff to bring the defense its third trick, but the difference is that East now has only diamonds left and must therefore yield a ruff and discard. This eliminates the heart loser and you wind up making the contract. The hand serves as a further example of a very important principle. When the handwriting on the wall indicates that you will be defeated if you follow a normal course of play, it is best to stop a moment to see whether there is any way of heading off the approaching disaster. He who go too fast occasionally fall down and go boom.

DROP AFFILIATION INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Max Schumacher, general manager of the Indianapolis Indians of the Pacific Coast League, announced Tuesday the team will discontinue its working agreement with the Chicago White SOX. Although the move was made by mutual agreement of the two teams, the Indians’ front office had in the past accused the White Sox of pulling key personnel in and out of Indianapolis during the season.

Steve Jeffries broke the tape with a winning time of 10:35.5 to lead the Rockville Harriers over the Greeneastle Tiger Cubs 24-31 in a dual cross country meet on the hilly course here Tuesday. The Rox victory was the first cross country victory over
