SPORTS 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.

Hill Street - Phone 227-6161 - Giffin, Go. 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.

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.
