Either American League
pitchers are suffering a COL
lective streak of poor marks
manship or they're feeling I'M
commonly vindictive toward
their natural enemies-the hit
tiers. At any rate, the high
quota of hit batSmen continues,
along with the resulting flare
ups.
Last night, for example. Mike
Fornieles of Boston matched a
modern major league single
game record by plunking four
Cleveland batterS in the course
of the Indians double header
sweep over the Red Sox. And
at Kansas City, Jerry Walker
of the Athletics nicked Leon
Wagner of Los Angeles. Wag-
ner threw his bat at Walker,
Walker threw the ball at Wag-
ner again, and both were
elected after a medium sized
free-for-all.
By beating Boston twice, 6-3
and 80, the Indians boosted
their league lead to two full
games over Minnesota, a ST.
loser to Chicago. Los Angeles
whipped the AS for the seventh
straight time, ST., with Wagner
hitting his Goth homer before
his flinging match with Walk
er. Washington nipped Detroit,
5-4. New York and the Orioles
were rained out at Baltimore
Latham Has ShutOut
Barry Latham fired a five
hit shutout in the second game
and Bubba Phillips clinched
the opener with three-run
homer in the Indians double
victory over the Red Sox. Phil
lips homer off Gene Conley
came in the sixth inning and
brought Cleveland from behind
Woodie Held added insurance
in the eighth with a solo hon.
er against Hal Kolstad. Jim
Perry was the winning pitcher
with help from Gary Bell.
Fornieles uncorked a wild
pitch and walked a man in
addition to hitting tour batters
before he was yanked in the
fourth, but the Indians were
unable to cash in on these
breaks. However, they did capt.

soud and Ty Cline's double

Typical Baseball Battle
The Angels. who've beaten
the AS 10 of 13 this year, were
started off by Bob Rodgers
tWo-run homer in the second
and Wagner whacked No. 20
high in the league-in the
fourth. When Wagner came up
next time, in the sixth, Walker
plunked him and a typical
baseball battle ensued-much
milling and swinging, little hit
ting and hurting.
After peace was restored.
Danny McDevitt became the
Kansas City pitcher and was
touched for Los Angeles last
two runs in the seventh on
Felix Torres triple, a couple
of singles and a pair of wild
pitches. Ted BowSfield won it,
getting a big assist from Bob
Botz, who pitched one-hit re-
lief over the final three innings.
Mis- directed pitches also
helped the White Sox over the
Twins. Chicago got a run in
the second against Joe Boni-
koWski on a walk to Al Smith,
a steal of second, an error and
a wild pitch. then wrapped
it up with three in third off
Reliever Ted Sadowski. Sadow-
ski hit Sherm Lollar, Luis
Aparicio singled and Nellie Fox
and Floyd Robinson followed
with doubles. Ray Herbert gave
up 10 Minnesota hits, but
spaced them judiciously and
went all The way.
BonikowSki had to come out
after the second with a muscle
Spasm in his neck, which was
described as not serious.
