: jell and do a little better in de-
Tending their American League
crown.
Were not doing anything
right" groaned Manager AL
! Lopez after Chicago dropped a
To decision to Kansas City and
Early Wynn again was shelled
from the mound for the third
straight time.
Wynn, the majors winning
est pitcher last year with %
victories. has made 10 starts
this season and has only two
complete games.
Elsewhere around the league,
Ken Aspromonte hit a home
run and two singles, driving in
three runs, to lead Cleveland
to a 6-2 victory over Detroit.
That put the Indians only a
game and a half out OF first
place as Baltimore was losing
to Washington, Al. Bob Tur-
ley needed help but he got his
first victory as a starting
pitcher since last August when
New York turned back Boston,
4-3.
Shaw Another Problem
Wynn is not the only pitch
ing problem for Lopez. Bob
Shaw, an 18-game winner and
sophomore of the year in 1859
has made nine starts and has
only two complete games. But
Lopez refuses to put all the
blame on pitching.
Sure, we're not getting the
pitching we got last year." he
declares. "but we're not hitting
with men on base and we're
not fielding as we should.
"One day one player makes
a costly error and another day
it's someone else who costs us
in the field. AS a team we're
hitting better than we did last
year but not by much.
Last year when we got men
on base we got them across.
We're not doing it this year" ,"
Lopez complained.
Last nights loss was a per-
feet example. The White SoX
collected 10 hits but left nine
men stranded. They scored in
the first inning and again in
the second but after that the
leadoff man reached base in
every inning except the ninth,
but the White Sox couldn't get
anybody across.
Still Planning on Series
I'VE just haven't jelled," ;"
Lopez said. Let's hope that
the race remains close until we
can get together and play the
type of ball We can play. No.
body's out of this race, least
of all the White Sox. We still
plan on playing in the World
Series"
The Indians beat the Tigers
with four runs in the third in
ming and 2hs innings of no-hit
relief by Johnny Klippstein,
who saved the victory for Jim
Perry. Frank Larry (4-5) was
the loser. giving up RBI singles
by Jim Piersall, Aspromonte,
ex-Tiger Harvey Kuenn and
Tito Francona in the third.
ASpromonte's homer in the fifth
off Bob Bruce drove in two
more.

a row, had four-hit shutout
until the seventh, when a walk
and two-out singles by Bruce
and Eddie Yost scored a run,
Two more walks forced in an
other run before Klippstein

line with the bases loaded.

Marv Throneberry touched of
a three-run sixth with his
fourth homer. Bob Trow-
bridge saved Daley's sixth con-
secutive victory by striking out
Roy Sievers with the bases
loaded in the seventh.
Bobby Shantz' perfect relief
did it for the Yankees. Turley

until Rip Repulski socked a
tWo-run pinch homer in the
seventh. Boston scored again
in the eighth and had the
tying run on base when Shant7
retired pinch-hitter Ted Will
liams on a fly. A three-run

straight loss after beating New
York twice. Yogi Berra tripleo
for one run and scored the
clincher on a wild pitch. Turley
