le BO)ST THEIR LEAD Both Yankees and Dodgers Boost Margins With Victory By BEN PHLEGAR ssociated Press Sports Writer Moe and more it looks as if Clicgo White Sox are going to med outside help if they hope to orerlaul the fast moving New York Yankees. Thi Sox went into today's doulle- header in New York trailing the worlt champions by six games. Alter today the clubs meet only six mre times, meaning, of course that 1e most the Chicagoans could possily make up by their own effort would be six games. Whre the Sox can find that outsie help is another question, for » far this season they are the mly club that has as much as boken even with Casey Sten- gel'screw. Affr Friday's 6-1 victory by the Yankes, the season's series stood evenat seven games each. It looked for awhile as if the Sox were going to jump off to a compgtable margin in the second innig when with one out they pougded Eddie Lopat for three straght hits--a double and two singes. But the attack netted Saly onerun as a squeeze play fail The* Yankees settled the issue in the next inning. Iopat started with a single.

Yogi Berra, the next man up, made the runs look legitimate by poking the ball into the right field seats. Billy Martin homered with one aboard in the eighth. The Yankees gained another full game over the third-place Cleve- Jang Indians who bowed to Boston Red Sox 4-2. Brilliant fielding by Jim Piersall and relief pitching by Ellis Kinder saved Mel Parnell's 15th victory.

The Dodgers trounced Cincinnati Redlegs 9-4, Milwaukee whipped Pittsburgh Pirates 9-2, Philadelphia Phils nosed out Chicago Cubs 5-4 and St. Louis Cardinals handed {New York Giants their 10th loss in 13 games, 2-1. Parnell's victory over Cleveland . | was his first against the Indians at Fenway Park in almost four years. He drove in three of the runs. Alex Kellner fanned seven in beating Ralph Branca and the SPORTS ROUNDUP Tigers for his {oth victory. Marrero's shutout was the sev- enth one in the last eight games at Washington. The Brooklyn game at Cincinnati was interrupted for 42 minutes by rain in the sixth inning, but it didn't help the Redlegs. The Dodgers had just scored three runs and led 3-2 when time was called. If no further play had been possible the three runs would have been washed out and the Redlegs would have won 20 on Andy Seminick's two-run homer in the fifth. . As it was the Dodgers added one in the seventh on Duke Snider's homer, four more in the eighth in- cluding a three-run drive by Carl Furillo and a final tally in the minth. The Cardinals pushed across the run that beat the Giants in the fourth with a double by Ray Jab- lonski and a single by Steve Bilko. Wilmher Mizell went all 'the way for "his 10th victory. The Phillies are 9% games "be- hind the Dodgers, but they play like champions when they encoun- ter the Cubs. Their triumph Fri- day was their 13th in 14 meetings. Ralph Kiner hit his 27th homer for Chicago. Del Crandall hit a two-run homer for the Braves. Umpires Get Another Bad Job Must Curb "Dusting Off" Pitch By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP) -- Out of a routine "dusting" episode in a game between Brooklyn and Mil- waukee the other day has come a sharp note from National League headquarters condemning the practice, which is as old as base- ball itself, and placing an intoler- able burden upon the league's um- piring staff. Previously an umpire could only caution a pitcher for 'loosening up" a batter--and nine times out of 10 get cussed out for his pains. Now, as we interpret president Warren Giles' message, the hard- pressed ters are ordered to convict the erring hurler on the spot and turn him in for disciplin- ary action. Giles has promised to take a "firm position." The y head was thus stirred into action because Roy Cam- panela, the Brooklyn catcher, tried te take a bat to Lew Bur- dette; the Milwaukee pitcher, who had low-bridged him twice run- ning. This created a somewhat riotous scene before the wrathful backstop was disarmed. The game's guardians are vigilant to avoid such episodes, and to keep the public reassured, and so Giles virtually had to say something. We do not, therefore, mean to chide an old and valued friend. We wil go so far as to concede that Warren meant every word of the warning he composed. All we will say is that, having been around baseball for a good while before .he attained ' his present plane, he knows that the pitchers SPORTSMANS DIGEST "shar STRIKING TROUT WITH A DRY FLY...

Ted Williams Ready To Play Was In Line-up BOSTON (AP)--Ted Williams, the last of the .400-hitters, is back in competitive action and most likely will be Boston Red Sox' Starting left fielder again in about two weeks. Williams went to bat for the first time since April 30, 1952 in a crucial pinch-hitting situation dur- ing Thursday's game with St. Louis Browns. With the Red Sox trailing 6-7 in the ninth with runners on third and first with one out, manager Lou Boudreau told Williams: "Ted, I've got to use you now." Thereupon Williams batted. for rookie outfielder Tom Umphlett and lofted relief pitcher Marlin Stuart's fourth pitch to first base- man Dick Kryboski. Stuart's first pitch to Williams was a strike and the next a ball. Williams then brought the 6,792 spectators to their feet by lashing a foul into the right field stand. After Williams returned to the dugout, Jim Piersall singled in the tying run. But Bob Young homered the Browns into an 8-7 victory in the 10th. : Northern Ontario's Favored Amateur Victim of Upset NORTH BAY (CP) -- Defending champion Frank Wyatt of Beattie Mines, a tournament favorite, was defeated Friday in a first-round match in the Northern Ontario amateur golf championship by Art Riley of Sudbury. Riley wiped out Wyatt's chance of capturing his third NOGA title with a 4 and 3 victory. A big surprise of the competi- tion was the failure of Ed Assel- tine of Iroquois Falls to make the championship flight. However, As- seltine had little trouble in his first flight match as he ousted North Bay's Les Dennis 6 and 5. The three top favorites, Bill and Dave Moreland and Merv Stough- ton, all of North Bay, came through the first round as expected. Dave Moreland, whose 68 was the low score in the qualifying round, dis- posed of Hec Domenico of Tim- mins 4 and 3. His younger brother Bill eliminated the veteran George Honer of Kirkland Lake 4 and 3 while Stoughton knocked out club- mate Tom Hawkins, 2 and 1 Geographic centre of the Dis- trict of Columbia is near the cor- ner of Fourth and L streets, N.
