Dropo, White Sox Don't Figure to Out BY MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Some's bound to give ground soon in the dog-eat-dog American League pennant scrap but the way big Walt Dropo is manhandling those pitchers, it doesn't figure to be the White Sox. Dropo helped put the White Sox in first place to begin with and now it looks like he aims to keep them there. He slammed out three hits in a 5-2 victory over the Senators Friday night and his third hit of the game in the ninth inning drove in what turned out to be the deciding run. Since the All-Star game, the 6-foot, 5-inch Dropo has been the hottest hitter in the circuit with a batting mark of .403 during that stretch. Dropo's hitting Friday night and irgil VTrucks' six-hit pitching kept the White Sox atop the league standings by two percentage points over the Yankees, who beat the Athletics, 3-2. The Indians stayed a game behind with a 7-1 victory over the Orioles while the sizzling Red Sox blanked the Tigers, 5-0, to remain only three games back. Collins Sparks Yanks Joe Collins' pinch single with two out in the eighth inning scored Mickey Manile from third base with the run that won for the Yankees. Lefty Whitey Ford pitched a five-hitter for his 12th triumph and appeared to have won his own game when he homered to put New York ahead, 2-1, in the seventh. But ex-Yankee Emos Slaughter connected for a pinch homer that tied the score again in the eighth. Vic Raschl started for Kansas City and Tom Gorman, another former Yankee was the loser. Cleveland teed off on two former teammates—Bill Wight and Ted Gray—for 15 hits in humbling Bal. Rams Open Tonight Against Fort Ord LONG BEACH — A crowd of about 12,000 is expected to be on hand tonight in Long Beach Memorial Stadium when the Los Angeles Rams open their exhibition schedule against the Fort Ord Warriors, one of the top service teams in the nation. The game will mark the debut of Sid Gillman as a coach in the National Football League. Gillman said he would start quarterback Skeet Quinlan and Bob Boyd and fullback Tommy McCormick, and may not use his star running back, Tank Younger and Dan Towler. The Ft. Ord team boasts NEL players Sam Baker of Washington, Jimmy Powers of San Francisco, Bob Peviani of New York and Gerald Perry of Detroit.

But ex-Yankee Enos Slaughter connected for a pinch homer that tied the score again in the eighth. Vic Raschi started for Kansas City and Tom Gorman, another former Yankee was the loser. Cleveland teed off on two former teammates—Bill Wight and Ted Gray—for 15 hits in humbling Baltimore behind the steady four-hit pitching of Mike Garcia. Larry Doby collected three of the Tribe's hits while Vic Wertz slammed his 11th homer with one on in the seventh. Everyone in the Red Sox line-up, except Jackie Jensen, hit safely in the victory over the Tigers but even so Jensen tied Al Kaline for the league runs-batted-in leadership at 77. Nikon hurled a four-hitter and received all the margin he needed for his 10th victory when Ted Williams smashed his 17th homer off rookie Jim Bunning. Cincinnati catcher Smoky Burgess blasted three homers, including one with the bases full, added a single and was robbed of another extra base hit during a seven-run rally in the fourth inning. The Dodgers came from behind to edge the Cardinals, 5-4, and stay 12½ games ahead of second-place Milwaukee in the National League race.

SPORT PARADE Moore Selection Shuns Ability By OSCAR FRALEY TOLEDO, Ohio (UP)—Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: This is the home town of Archie Moore but when they pick him to beat Rocky Marciano for the heavyweight championship of the world it has nothing to do with his ability. They think that Moore is a "cinch" because a rematch would be tremendously lucrative. You hear the same innuendo whether you're at plush Inverness Club, where the U.S. Open will be held two years hence, or at the Secor Hotel, where the sports crowd gathers. "I'll Win"—Rocky One of these discussions so distressed old Fearless that I called the "Rock" at Grossinger's, in New York, and had him speak to all hands assembled. The champ isn't one to boast, but he said: "Tell 'em I'll win—or bust both arms trying." Boxing may be suspect but you can bank on the block buster from Brockton... Nick Kerbawy, general manager of the Detroit Lions, was one of those on hand and he disclosed that Doak Walker, who signed his 1955 contract Friday, has been given permission by the construction company for which he works to play one more season. Walker, the former SMU All-America, feels he really has three more good years left. Walker, incidentally, must rank as one of the most astute business men in sports. Plus the construction tieup, he has a hand in a sporting goods store, an auto agency and some oil properties.

Angel Manager Bob Scheffing announced he was playing under protest as a result of George Metkovich's disputed two-run homer into the right field bleachers scoring the tying runs in the eighth inning. Iacovetti, first base umpire, at first ruled that the ball had hit the fence and bounced back into play. Metkovich had pulled up at second. But Oak players in the right field bullpen protested that the ball had dropped into the bleachers and bounced back into the field. Ump Calls It Homer The ump finally ruled that it had been a home run. Press box observers agreed, but Scheffing engaged Iacovetti in a long argument before announcing he was playing under protest from that point on. The Oaks went on to win in the bottom of the 10th when Don Mitoza came home on Jim Marshall's bad-hop single over the head of second baseman Gene Mauch. The victory gave Oakland the series, 4-2, its first series victory since beating San Diego the first week in June. In other games, Sacramento edged past league-leading Seattle, 3-2, in 13 innings to capture the series, 3-2, and San Francisco defeated Hollywood, 6-3, as Bill Agganis Services Two-Hours Long NEW YORK — A two-hour eulogy, in both English and Greek, will be read at the memorial service Sunday for Harry Agganis, late Boston Red Sox fielder at the Greek Orthodox cathedral in Manhattan.

Three were caught off base after fly balls were hauled in by Yorba Linda’s hustling out-field. One such misfortune snuffed out a last inning rally by the Buena Park boys. Larry Hauptman drove a single into left field with two out following a walk to Bruce Fancher and a single by pitcher Allen Masterson. Fancher failed to run with the hit and was thrown out at third base. Things looked good for the Devils in the seventh with their big hitters coming up until this play. The Red Devils managed only three safeties, Hauptman’s and Masterson’s in the seventh and John Hind’s blast in the first, driving two runs. The locals threatened constantly because of four errors and five walks handed them, but lack of clutch hitting left six baserunners stranded. This marked the fifth errorless game for Devil first sacker, Michael Joyce. It also was the first game in which Jimmy Bell failed to get a hit. In all, Bell has strolled to the plate 20 times. He has reached base on 12 of these occasions. He leads the team with a .333 batting mark.
