That 1-2 combination of De-
troit and Cleveland on top may
be a surprise in the American
League race, but the real
shocker has to be the ninth
place flop of the Chicago White
SoX.
Manager Al Lopez'S old guys
were not tabled as d pennant
crew, but still they figured to
be challenging the leaders. The
pitching staff, with Early Wynn,
Billy Pierce, Cal McLiSh. Bob
Shaw and Herb Score as start
ers, had more gray boards than
fuzzy cheeks, but it still looked
good enough with some hitting
support.
But instead, the White SoX
tumbled from fourth to last
earlier this month with a
seven-game slump, their longC
est in five years. And after
winning six of nine, they now
have lost seven of their last
eight games-with no starter
turning in a complete game.

fifth in a row at Baltimore last
night as the Orioles twice
came from behind for a 2-l and

White Sox on Skids Again
With Fifth Defeat in Row

Turk Lown, Frank Baumann
and Gerry Staley. Lown put
the tying run on base, Bau-
mann (2-4), the loser, put on
the winning run and Staley
gave up the homer. Yves Stock
Q-0 won it with six-innings
of three-hit, shutout relief.
Pascual's String Ends
AL Kaline and Rocky Colavito
each hammered home runs and
drove in two runs for the
Tigers. Both homers were off
loser Camilo Pascual (4-4), who
pushed his shutout string
through 20 innings before
Kaline unloaded in the third.
Don Mossi stayed unbeaten
and won his fifth, but gave up
a two-run homer by Zollo Ver-
sales and needed Bill Fischer'S
relief to save it. Fischer got
Harmon Killebrew to hit into
a double-play and struck out
Jim Lemon when he hurried in
with two on and none out in
the seventh. Killebrew hit a
two-run homer in the ninth,
but Fischer finished it by again
tanning Lemon.
Gary Bell won his second
in four decisions with a four
hitter for the Indians, striking
out 10 and blanking the An
gels on one hit until Leon
Wagner homered in the seventh.
Johnny Romano hit a home
run for the Injuns, who then
chased Jerry Casale 90 with
a four-run third. Tito Fran
coma singled in two runs in the
big inning, but was knocked out
when he crashed into First
Baseman Ted KluSzewski. Tito
walked off on his own, but
was placed under observation.
The Yankees did it on a
two-out single by Tony Kubek
in the ninth that beat Chet
Nichols (0-2). Ralph Terry
(2-0) gave up only three hits,
but one was a tying homer by
Gary Geiger in the eighth.
Roger Maris hit a two-run
homer off Boston starter Gene
Conley.

Halas said, referring to the

George was reminded that
the Chargers signed Keith Lin
coin of Washington and "Hoot"
Gibson Of N. C. State, the Bears

respectively.
They're pinkShirts," Halas
replied. When we draft a COL

BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

The plastic wheeled Senate
subway train has scored high
for silence and smoothness on
its first experimental excursion.
But it still has some way to
go to satisfy Senators.
Capitol engineers late yester-
day encountered several bugs
to be worked out. These deal
especially with the operation of
brakes on curved sections of the
flat steel plate designed to serve
as a track.
The initial trip, however,
seemed to promise success. No
immediate predictions were
made as to when or whether
the rubber like plastic wheels
and steel rolling surface will
replace the metal wheels and
traditional tracks for all the
cars between the Capitol and
the old and new Senate office
buildings.
In contrast to the noisy,
grinding, bumpy and sometimes
dusty vehicles that were put
into operation at the opening
of the new $4.8 million sub
way last January. the car with
the new apparatus moved in
almost solemn silence and
smoothness.
The body of the car is
identical with those of the
shiny and spic-and-span up
holstered cars that have been
running - amid considerable
senatorial complaint and cla-
mor-since January. The plas-
tic wheels, however, are radi-
cally different in design and
concept, as are the vertical
steel plates and horizontal
guide plates on the roadbed.
The first journey yesterday
admittedly was incomplete and
inconclusive. The car was run
very slowly forward and in re-
verse. More crucial tests must
determine whether it will come
up to expectations for speed
and safety and whether the
plastic wheels will hold up ade-
quately.
Evening star., 1961-12-20
PIostic-Whee|ed rain
Runs Silently in Debut

The estimated cost Of the
experimental changeover is
about SIS, 900.
Capitol engineers are con-
vinced that the rubber tire idea
is practical and probably will
prove to be preferable to the
rigid steel wheeling. The Metro
subway in Paris started using
pneumatic tires in 1856.
