Cleveland Beats Sox
At Their Own Game
By VITO STELLINO
EPI Sports Writer i
The Cleveland Indians may i
not be dull but they beat the 1
Chicago White Sox at their own i
game Wednesday night.
Tlie Indians used the White
Sox formula of good pitching i
combined with the ability to '
scrounge up a few cheap runs 1
to knock off the league-leaders '
by a 5-1 count. ;
The weak-hitting White Sox 1
have been labeled a “dull" i
team—a term that infuriates
manager Eddie Stanky—be- >
cause their creampuff attack 1
makes them a rather boring
team to .watch.
But Cleveland stole a page 1
from the White Sox book by 1
scoring their first two runs on a :
high bounder to the pitcher and
that was all the help Steve
Hargan needed to post his 11th
victory of the season.
“They beat us with some
White Sox hits tonight,” Stanky
admitted after the game.
"Hargan was good tonight ■
and good pitching- will contain 1
good hitting,” Stanky said. 1
Good Pitching
Os course, good pitching Is ’
especially effective against poor ■
hitting—which is the kind of
hitting the White Sox have.
Despite the loss, the White :

Sox didn’t lose any ground in i
the pennant race because i
second-place Boston lost and
third-place Detroit split a
doubleheader. The Sox are still
in front by 2 games.
The turning point of the game :
came in the first inning with :
runners on second and third and
two out. Tony Horton hit a high '
bounder toward the mound and
losing pitcher Wilbur Wood 1
threw the ball past first base as :
both runners scored. It was
ruled a single for Horton and an
error—the first of four hits
Horton was to collect.
The Indians added another
run in the second inning when
Chuck Hinton bounced a single
off Wood’s leg that scored
Larry Brown. Leon Wagner
then led off the third with a
homer and singles by Max
Alvis, Horton and Don Demeter
produced the final run in the
fifth.
Meanwhile, Hargan blanked
the White Sox except in the
second when Ron Hansen :
doubled and scored on Wayne
Causey’s single. Hansen pulled .
a hamstring muscle scoring on
the play and will be sidelined :
for three or four days. ;
Elsewhere in the American i
League, Kansas City edged :
Boston 8-6, Detroit beat Balti- '
more 4-2 but lost the second
game 4-2, California edged New
York 5-4 and Washington beat
Minnesota 5-4 in 11 innings.
In the National League, St.
Louis swept a doubleheader
from Chicago 4-2 and 7-1 to take
a commanding 5 game lead in
the race, San Francisco
whipped Pittsburgh 7-2, Houston
topped New York 5-2, and
Philadelphia topped Los Angeles
2-1 in 10 innings.
Scored Twice
Kansas City pushed across
two runs in the eighth on Mike
Hershberger’s double, Ted Ku
biak’s triple and Tim Talton’s
pinch single to beat Boston. The
Red Sox had an early 5-3 lead
before Kansas City came back
in the seventh on Ken Harrel
son’s two-run double to take a 6-
5 margin. Boston tied it 6-6 in
the last of the seventh before
the A’s finally won it in the last
of the eighth.
Al Kaline and Norm Cash hit
back-to-back homers in the first
inning and John Hiller turned in
a fine 2 2-3 inning relief job for
Joe Sparma to give Detroit the
victory over Baltimore in the
first game. It was the ninth
straight Detroit victory over the
Orioles this year and the Tigers
appeared headed for the 10th
when Brooks Robinson hit a
two-run homer in the ninth to
win it for the Oriole. Pat
Dobson, in relief of Fred
Gladding who made the first
start of his 203-game major
league career, served up the
two-run homer to Brooks after
Frank Robinson walked.
Jose Cardenal tripled home
the tying run and scored the
winning run on Woodie Held’s
single in the ninth inning as the
Angels edged the Yanks
California was trailing 4-3 when
Roger Repoz hit a pinch-hit
single and Cardenal followed
with his triple and then Held
connected with his sin
gle off loser Billy Mon
bouquette. Minnie Rojas picked
up the victory in relief.
Ed Stroud singled, stole
second and rode home on Hank
Alien’s two-out hit in the 11th
inning as the Senators topped
the Twins. The loss was
suffered by Al Worthington.
