| Tail-End Tigers Take Two | F \ i i = By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer Now that the Yankees finally have auit losing maybe Cleveland Indians will go back to playing better ball. Instead of concentrating on their own business, the Indians this week have been going through their paces with one eye on the score- board to see how much ground they were gaining on the fading New Yorkers. As a result they have lost two in a row to the tail-end Detroit Tigers. They have a chance to make immediate amends since they go home tonight to face the usually docile Bengals in three more games. The Yanks broke their nine-game victory drought by edging the Red Sox, 5-3, in 10 gs at Boston - Thursday. Cleveland bowed 4-2 to Detroit and slipped six full games behind the world champions. Chicago White Sox, who had Thursday and today off, also are six games back and just two per- centage points behind the Indians. In the National League Brooklyn | Dodgers made sure they will in first place on the morning of the 4th of July, traditional turning pointof the pennant races. The Dodgers defeated Philadelphia, 8-0, and second place Milwaukee skid- ded a game and a half behind by losing to Cincinnati 3-1. Other Na- tional League clubs weren't sched- ed. Johnny' Mize hammered the hit that broke the Yankee slump. Pinch-hitting in the 10th with two out and Yogi Berra on third. Mize drove a 3-2 pitch from Sid Hud- son into left centre field for a double. Gil McDougald then drew an in- tentional pass and Bill Martin brought in the insurance run with a single that scored Bill Renna, running for Mize, Al Rosen hit his third home run in three games to get Cleveland off in front, but the Tigers went ahead with a pair in the third on a walk, a wild pitch by loser Mike Garcia and singles by Johnny Pesky and Walt Dropo. rom Second Placed Indians Don Lund produced the winning runs with a home run scoring Matt Batts ahead of him in the sev- enth. Steve Gromek, who toiled for Cleveland until two weeks ago, scattered seven hits in registering his third victory. Washington's scheduled game at Philadelphia was rained out. So far this year Brooklyn's big- gost difficulty has been its pitch- ng but you couldn't find much wrong with Carl Erskine's seven- hit performance against the Phil- lies. The ace righthander, belted hard last month, had been given a 10-day rest and he was at the top of his form. Cincinnati has hit 94 home runs, more than any other major league team, and the Redlegs used them to good advantage in handing Mil- waukee its eighth straight home loss. Ted Kluszewski put the Reds ahead in the first inning with his 23rd home run, and Gus Bell hit his 21st in the ninth.

(AP) -- Johnny Palmer was the only tor- nado to strike the Birmingham Country Club Thursday, and the moonfaced North Carolinian swept to the qualifying medal of the United States PGA golf tourna- ment with a record-equalling 134. Grooving his shots through wild gusts and racing against an antici- pated thunderstorm, the chubby pro from Badin, N.C., clinched the $250 medalist prize with a five- under par 66. i He thus tied two records--the course and the PGA qualifying marks. The condpetitive record for the compact 6,465-yard, par 71 Bir- mingham layout was made by old Al Watrous, of nearby Oakland Hills, 20 years ago, and equalled only Wednesday by Vie the giant Long Island pro, who ook the first round qualifying ead. Palmer's 68-66--134 matched the two-round qualifying record set by Jim Ferrier at Portland, Ore., in 1946 and paralleled by Skip Alex- ander at St. Louis in 1949. Palmer won the Canadian Open championship at Winnipeg in 1952 and will defend his title next week at the Toronto Scarboro course. - Ghezzi, 1941 champion, settled for a 73 and a total of 139. Chandler Harper, the 1950 c - jon from Portsmouth, Va., fin- hed with a 69 for 137. This was good for second place, three strokes back. Pete Cooper of White Plains, N.Y., followed with I ut int 1 making the © po or 64-man championship t, which begins with two 18-hole sud- den death rounds of match play, was 149.

Jordan, who came to the Bisons earlier this season from Detroit Tigers of the American League, {s the loop's top hurler. He pitched his 10th victory Thursday night in a relief role, downing Syracuse Chiefs 5-4. This put the Bisons within 1% games of the pace-setting Montreal vals, who fell 3-1 to Rochester Red Wings. Buffalo's win was the club's eighth in the last nine games. Jordan has won his last seven games and has only one defeat. However, Buffalo's victory wasn't easy. The Bisons hammered three Syracuse hurlers for 14 safe- ties, but the Chiefs rallied for all their runs in the eighth inning. The Chiefs were allowed only six hits, but two errors played against the p; | Herd erd. Outfielder Ed Mierkowicz® two- run homer in the seventh gave the Red Wings the game at Rochester. Righthander Jack Faszholz got the win, his third, but needed help from lefty Dennis Reeder in the ninth. Southpaw Bob Ludwick was charged with the loss. 'y 0 Res A tree can't keep its age a secret.
