WILSON WINS FOR
RAINIERS BY 3 T01
SCORE OVER OAKS
(By the Associated Press)
Big Jim Wilson, turned back by
Hollywood last week in his effort
to win 16 games in a row, has taken
up where he left off.
Wilson limited the league-leading
Oakland Acorns to four hits last
night as Seattle came tip with a 3
to 1 victory. Oakland didn’t lose
ground, however, as Portland’s Red
Lynn, hurling in superb form,
blanked runner-up Hollywood. 2 to
0. Lynn allowed only three hits to
best Jack Salveson, who with 12
wins and only one setback, has been
pacing the Pacific Coast League
pitchers.
San Diego and Los Angeles en
gaged in a slugfest with the Padres
coming out on top, 9 to 5, and San
Francisco nosed out Sacramento, 5
to 4.
Lynn’s win at Portland was his
eleventh of the year. Portland scored
both runs in the first inning. Luiz
Marquez opened with a single, went
to second on Eddie Basinski’s infield
hit and scored When Mickey Rocco
doubled off the right field wall. Jofe
Brovia was walked, but Jim Glsdd
flied out and Basinski counted after
the catch.
Wilson's 16th win squared the 10
game series Seattle and Oakland
are playing this week. The big right
hander, who has been fooling the
batters with his “palm ball,” whiffed
12 last night and ran his strikeout
total for the season to 157. Oakland’s
lone run came as Dick Wakefield
poled a 370-foot homer in the sev
enth.
Manny Perez won his own ball
game at San Francisco. He singled
in the ninth inning to score his
catcher, Ray Orteig, with the win
ning run. Jim Tabor hit a home run
for Sacramento, scoring Jim Hodgin
ahead of him in the fourth, but the
Seals’ Joe Grace knocked one out
of the park in the sixth with two
aboard.
San Diego started fast against Los
Angeles, Suitcase Simpson homering
with Whitey Wietelmann on base
in the first inning. The Padres
shelled Angel starter Herm Besse
in the third with a four-run attack
and picked up two more against
Booker McDaniels.

CLEVELAND GOES
ON RAMPAGE IN
AMER. LEAG. NOW
i By the Associated Press)
Cleveland’s rampaging Indians,
looking more menacing each day,
loom as the real “dark horse" in
the jumbled American League pen- j
nant race.
No club in the league—and that
includes the pace-setting Detroit
Tigers and runner-up New York
Yankees—has looked better than
Lou Boudreau’s men, who have run
up 12 triumphs in their last 16
games.
Whereas three weeks ago. the In
dians trailed the Tigers by seven
full games, they are only two and
a half games out today.
Thanks to a 7-6 triumph over
Philadelphia last night while both
the Tigers and Yankees were losing,
the Indians find themselves m the
best position they’ve been all year.
True, they still are ;n third place,
one length back of the Yankees
and three in front of the Boston
Red Sox, but they are in good shape
to make a whale of a battle out
of it the rest of the way. They own
three top flight pitchers in Bob
Lemon, Bob Feller and Early Wynn.
And in rookies A1 Rosen and Luke
Easter, they possess two of the top
sluggers in the game.
Feller was me winner yesterday
although he needed help from Le
mon in the ninth. It vtas Bob’s 10th
triumph of the year. He got a big
lift from Easter, who smashed his
18th and 19th homers off loser Alex
Kellner.
Nip and Tuck Game
The Red Sox won a 7-6 nip-and
tuck affair from Detroit, scoring
three runs in the eighth off relief
pitcher Hal White to overcome a
6-4 deficit. Three runs in each of
the fifth and seventh innings had
enabled the Tigers to overcome an
early 4-0 Boston lead. Each club
used four pitchers, with Chuck
Stobbs the wiqner and White the
loser.
Stubby Overmire pitched the St.
Louis Browns to a 4-3 victory over
the Yankees. The little lefthander,
who holds two of the three Brownie
wins over New York, had a three
hit shutout until the ninth. Four
hits, including a two-run homer by
Johnny Mize, gave the Yankees
three runs.
Fine relief pitching by Joe
Haynes and strong stickwork by
Sam Meel and Gil Coan helped
Washington triumph over the Chi
cago White Sox, 7-4.
Phillies Back on Top
Philadelphia's Phillies moved back
to the top of the National League
by handing the Chicago Cubs twc
shutouts defeats, 7-0 and 1-0.
Bubba Church hurled a three
hitter in the opener and Robin Rob
erts followed with a six-hitter. It
was the latter’s 12th triumph.
Johnny Klippstein and Bob Rush
were the victims.
The Cubs now have suffered
through three straight shutout
losses. They were beaten, 3-0, in
the second game of Sunday’s double
header with the New York Giants.
The Phils’ double win put them
a half game in front of the St. Louis
Cardinals, who whipped the Brook
lyn Dodgers, 9-5. The’Boston Braves
moved into the third spot, two and
a half games off the pace, by
B. B. STARS

Giants in Win
A five-run eighth inning and an
other tally in the ninth on Bob
Usher's error gave the Giants a 7-6
triumph over Cincinnati.
Paced by Del Ennis’ 18th home
run with two mates aboard, the
Phils were an easy victor in tht
opener. They had to wait until two
were out in the last of the ninth
to win the second game. Richie
Ashburn took care of that, lashing
a single to center to score Ralph
Caballero from second.
Del Rice’s three-run homer high
lighted a four-run eighth inning
which enabled the Cards to over
come a 5-3 Dodger lead.
The Cards’ Stan Musial cracked
a home run, double and single to
extend his consecutive hitting streak
through 29 games.
