NEW YORK, July 80 Or
Arnold Portocarrero and the up
start Kansas City Athletics
handed the Yankees their worst
beating of the season today, 12-
2. spelling their HAL of Fame
Day" and keeping the Yanks
from regaining the American
League lead. The AS ripped into
New York pitching for II hits
while Portocarrero threw a six
hitter.
Chicago's 10 defeat by WASH
ington had left the door open
for the Yanks. whose start was
delayed 80 minutes by an old
timers game. New York's loss
and Cleveland's TO victory over
Baltimore let the two clubs tied
for second place, two percentage
points behind the White Sox.
The Yanks have lost 16 out
OF "a since July 2. when they
had a 61a-game lead. Last year
on Casey Stengel's birthday Che
was IS today Baltimore
thumped the Yanks, 100, in a
night game.
Elmer Valo, a 34-year-old OUT
fielder. showed the oldtimers a
thing or two with a home run
and three doubles, scoring three
runs and driving in three for
the AS.
After the first inning, when
Gil McDougald tripled and
scored on Mickey Mantle's sac
riflce fly, Portocarrero checked
the Yanks until the eighth with
out too much trouble. He was
helped in the sixth by a sem
sational diving catch by Harry
Simpson of Mantle's liner. Nc
Dougald had three of the six
Yankee hits.
Kansas City scored five of it's
runs off Rookie Johnny Kucks
before he left the game for a
pinch-hitter in the sixth. The
others came of Tom Morgan.
The AS didn't wait long to get
after Kucks. scoring in the first
inning on a walk to Enos Slaugh-

Tigers Gain as Birrer
Checks Red Sox, 81

BOSTON, July 80 R.-Wer-
ner (Babe) Birrer, an unheralded
rookie making only his second
major league start, halted the
Red Sox surge today as the
Detroit Tigers defeated Boston
So to move within az games
of the first division.
Birrer, used mainly in relief
since he was brought up from
Buffalo in June, spaced 10 hits
as he registered his third victory
and his second at Boston's ex-
pense.
1t it were not for Ted Williams
the chunky righthander would
have had a shutout. Williams
scored both Red Sox runs-slam-
ming a home run and double to
leftf1eld and a single past the
shift into left-center.
Ray Boone. who specializes in
slugging at Fenway Park, drove
in three runs with a triple and
double to lead the Detroit at
tack. With the Tigers leading,
3-2, Boone clinched the victory
In the seventh when he cracked
a two-run double off reliefer Leo
Kiely after two walks and Har-
vey Kuenn's single loaded the
bases.
The Tigers chased starter
George Susce in the sixth but
failed to score.
With Detroit leading 20,
Williams opened the Red Sox
fourth by lining a single to
centerfield. Jackie Jensen
walked and Sammy White
punched a single to left, Will
liams pulling up at third. Hat
tons line single to right was hit
so sharply only one run could
score and the Tigers got out of
the inning when Boone grabbed
Susce's slow roller to throw him
out.
Williams stepped into a Bir-
rer curve to slice it into the
leftfield screen for his 18th
home run of the season in the
fifth inning.

Yost's Double
Wins Brilliant
Duel for Griffs
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Billy Pierce. White Sox left
handler who leads both major
leagues in earned-run average
and hard luck. lost his fourth
10 decision of the season to the
tidy seven-hit pitching of Bob
Porterfeld yesterday at Grif-
fifth Stadium as the Senators
helped tighten the close Ameri-
can League race.
Pierce, whose TT record bellies
the effectiveness of his 1853
Iearned-run average. restricted
the Senators to five hits, but
Porterfield made fourth-inning
run stand up for him by permit
ting only three White Sox to
reach second base and none to
advance beyond that outpost.
The White Sox defeat, coupled
with the Indians TO triumph
over Baltimore and the Yankees
1872 drubbing by Kansas City,
created a logjam at the top Of
the league.
The top trio can be blanketed
with a cocktail napkin, with Chi
cago continuing to pace the loop
by the tissue-thin margin of
.002 over Cleveland and New
York. tied for second. Only three
games back of them are the Red
Sox and 5la games out and still
very much in the running are
the Tigers.
Ends 12-Game Streak
Washington has defeated the
White Sox only twice in Is
games and Porterfleld has ac-
complished the mission both
times. His superb hurting ended
a 12-game losing streak against
the White Sox, who suffered
their first loss in seven games
here before 3,277 customers and
approximately 5000 screaming
youngsters.
Manager Chuck Dresser sent
a batting order Of nine right
handed hitters against the ac-
complished Pierce, who famed
nine, getting Carlos Paula three
times.
The decisive run was produced
after Roy Sievers walked with
one out in the fourth. He stole
second base and continued to
third when Catcher Sherman
Lollar's low throw skipped into
centerfield. Eddie Yost's lusty
double to left brought Sievers
across. Yost took third when
Tom Umphlett grounded out
but was left when Jose Valdi-
vielso also grounded out.
Two Threats Erased
The Senators threatened in
the third when Bruce Edwards
doubled with one down, but Por-
terf1eld struck out and Johnny
Groth forced Jerry Snyder, who
had walked.

Saratoga Wins
Thrilling Duel
In Stretch

| OCEANPORT, N. j., July 81
R.-In one of the most spec.
tacular stretch duels ever seer
at Monmouth Park. Montpelier
Saratoga scored a nose victory
over Clifford Mooers' Traffic
Judge in the $29,050 Choice
Stakes before 35,703 here today
With crafty Sammy Boulmetis
in the saddle, Saratoga played
Ipossum while Traffic Judge
rushed past him from last place
at the quarter pole. Then the
brown son of Blenheim II came
back again to win a stretch
battle while the largest crowd
of the season screamed ir
excitement.
Saratoga. a 1-2 choice. was a
length back at the quarter pole
when Traffic Judge wrested the
lead from him, but after Boul-
metis urged him on again in the
rail position, the two battled
head and head in the final
three -sixteenths Of a mile, with
neither gaining a substantial
margin until Saratoga put his
nose in front In the final strides.
Second off Record
So rapid was the stretch drive
that the mile and eighth race
was run in 1:50Hs, just a second
off the track record established
by First Aid last year. Saratoga
carried top weight of 1875 pounds
today to Traffic Judges 1872.
First Aid had only 113 pounds
on him when he set the mark.
Only five colts started in the
sophomore fixture and third best
| of the group was Everglades
FARMS Nance's Lad, who fin
ished far of the pace, some eight
lengths behind. Mrs. E. E. Bank
heads Jabneh was another two
lengths back in fourth place.
Tony's Chance ran last.
Saratoga, who now has won
four stake races this year, broke
lon top and then allowed Tony's
Chance to take command on the
clubhouse turn. Saratoga, with
Boulmetis permitting him to run
easily, edged in front again with
six furlongs to go as Traffic
Judge raced evenly in last place.
|, The Montpelier colt stepped
in front by a length and a half
over Nance's Lad at the half
mile mark and .ontinued in
front to the far turn. Here,
Willie Boland made his move on
Traffic Judge, advancing on the
outside from last place to over
take Saratoga before approach
ing the quarter pole.
Appeared to Be Beaten
Saratoga appeared to be a
beaten horse at this point while
Traffic Judge rushed out with
full speed ahead. AS the two
made the turn for home, how
ever. Saratoga saved ground on
the rail and raced right back
into contention to set the stage
for the stirring stretch drive.

'Platan Takes
Arlington Cap,
Setting Record
High Gun Fades
To Seventh in First
Ruce on Grass

/
Veteran jockey Johnny Adams
today guided Hasty House Farms
Platan to a new American grass
course record for a mile and
three sixteenth in winning the
$161 800 Arlington handicap by
three lengths.
High Gun, the 2-1 favorite,
running his first race on the
turf, finished a laboring seventh.
The 5-year-old brown horse,
by Platter -Tatanne, broke to the
front in the bulky field Of Is at
the start, stubbornly relinquished
the lead momentarily to Eddie
Arcaro and High Gun, then drove
ahead with five furlongs to go
and stayed there under a great
ride by Adams.
King Ranch's High Gun faded
to seventh place while second
went to a 24-1 shot, Valley
Farms Impasse ridden by Paul
j. Bailey. In third, three
fourths of a length behind I'M
passe, was Calumet colorbearer
Mark Ye Well, who nosed out
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's re-
cent winner of the 100000 Sum-
set Handicap at Hollywood Park,

Platan, running as an entry
with Ruhe and Mister Black.
sizzled across the finish on this
hot. humid near 100 degree day
in 1:542s to knock one-f1fth of a
second off the American record
set by Volcanic in 1949 at
Washington Park. Platan car
|ried 1T pounds.
The victory was worth $104,-
$50 which boosted Platan's
record for the season to $751;
SIS. 1t raised his money earn
ings for three campaigns to
$234,255. Platan did not race
as a 3-year-old.
The triumph in the worlds
richest race on a turf course
was Platan's third in five starts
this year and came after a.
recent win in the EQuipoise at
Arlington Park.
Taking fifth place was Ruhe,
followed in order by Blue Choir,
High Gun, County Clare with
Willie Hartack up, Kaster, Abee
Sting, Artismo, Brush Burn
Fleet Bird. Hasseyampa and
Mister Black who had Willie
Shoemaker aboard.
High Gun Top Weighted
Platan after yielding the lead
before the clubhouse turn to
High Gun and then following
the favorite closely for about six
furlongs, slipped through on the
inside of the King Ranch star,
then increased his margin
steadily and won easily.
Blue Choir, a supplement en-
try of Mrs. Harry L. Nathenson,
was a strong contender until
well into the stretch, then ap-
peared to weaken, along with
High Gun who was top-weight-
ed at 130 pounds.
Platan returned $3.50, 81 and
$500. Impasse paid $3.50 and
$40, while Mark Ye Well paid
$7.40. Attendance was 28,145I
on this last day Of the Arling-
ton Park session.
Adams said that there wasn't
too much early speed in the
race, so I decided to race Pla-
tan much closer to the pace
than I did when he won the
Equipoise. When I asked him
to take the lead away from High
Gun at the far turn he re-
sponded easily and went on the
same way. I would have to
rate him along with another
grass horse, Stan, as one Of the
best I've ridden"
Arcaro, commenting on High
Gun. said "it was either the

still and shadowy as the moon rode
slowly among the clouds. All the
monotony of million lives today.
But into the dull routine of
shepherds life came the vision that
has captivated the imagination of
man for two thousand years. An
angelic voice saying, Fear not :"
A heavenly host singing, Glory to
God -. and peace. :" The startling
proclamation of the Savior's birth!
The message still comes with
brightness and Joy to all whose lot
it is to labor. to endure. to wait.
And the Church, preaching the
Truth of the One born that night
in Bethlehem. calls men from the
drabness of worldly pursuits to see
this Thing which has come to pass,
which the Lord made known unto
band of bored shepherds centuries
ago.
