AMERICAN LEAGUE

CHICAGO'S WALSH WHIPS 1ST PLACE ATHLETICS

Buck Weaver (.279) delivered the game-winning single in the 7th inning and Ed Walsh (17-8 2.48) pitched another solid game in the White Sox 5-3 triumph over first place Philadelphia at Comiskey Park. Chicago's Carlos Lee (.208) provided a 3-run homer in the third inning. The two clubs split the four-game series with the Chisox taking the last two games. Walsh needed help from Juan Pizarro (3-2 4.09), who got his third save this year. Pizarro hurled a perfect ninth. Dave Stewart (3-3 3.95) was the losing pitcher, allowing all 5 runs in 7 innings. The victory put the Pale Hose within 2.5 games of the AL-leading A's. Chicago is tied with the Red Sox for the third spot in the standings.

Bill Donovan (10-8 4.17) gave up a two-run shot to Washington's Kent Hrbek (.259) in the first inning, but none after that in the Detroit 4-2 victory at Briggs Stadium. Donovan tossed 8 innings, gave up 8 hits, fanned 3 and walked 2 to enable the second place Tigers to move within a game of first place in the American League. Hilton Smith fanned 2 of the 3 hitters he faced in the ninth for his 15th save. Walter Johnson (13-10 3.48) went all the way and garnered the loss, permitting 7 hits with 6 strikeouts and 2 bases on balls.

At Municipal Stadium the last place Cleveland Indians dealt the St. Louis Browns a tough 3-1 loss, dropping them from third to fifth in the standings, 3.5 games off the pace. Herb Score (11-11 4.60) was on top of his game as he held the Browns to 6 hits in 8 innings. Gary Bell (4-6 4.32) notched his fifth save of the season with a scoreless ninth. In a complete game Jim Palmer (9-15 3.88) sustained the loss. Carlos Baerga (.273) hit his 7th home run, a 2-run blast in the second, to send the Tribe ahead for good.

At Fenway Park in Boston, Carl Mays (6-1 1.70), recalled from the minors just a month ago, won another one for the Red Sox, their third consecutive win. This time stopping the Yankees on 2 hits over 8 innings. Pedro Martinez (7-12 4.43), now in the fireman role, registered his first save of the year by getting the last two outs. The Red Sox are now tied for third, trailing Philadelphia by just 2.5 games. Mays got all the runs he needed in the opening frame, when Dwight Evans (.326) singled and Oscar Charleston (.287) tripled and scored on a Ted Williams' (.286) ground out. The Bosox could only get 6 hits off losing pitcher Herb Pennock (10-11 2.86), who had been hampered all season long by lousy run support. The Yanks could manage only 3 hits for the game, all singles.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

JENKINS BRILLIANT AS CUBS TAKE OVER FIRST PLACE IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE

The Chicago Cubs have overtaken the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League pennant race. Ferguson Jenkins (16-7 3.35) fired a brilliant 2-hitter at Ebbets Field to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers 3-1. The victory moved Chicago a half-game up on the Pirates, who lost 1-0 to the Giants. In a very strong performance Jenkins fanned 10 and walked none. Burleigh Grimes (4-8 2.75) took the defeat. Hack Wilson's (.288) 2-run double in the first inning was enough runs for Jenkins.

New York's King Carl Hubbell (13-7 2.74) definitely lived up to his name today as he blanked the Pirates 1-0 on just 5 hits. Hubbell, a stylish lefty, struck out 5 and walked nobody in a peerless performance at the Polo Grounds. The Giants swept the four-game series to get back into contention in the NL race. They are now in third place, only 2.5 games behind the first place Cubs. George Kelly's (.300) homer in the sixth was the only run of the game. Loser Vic Willis (13-5 2.99) was almost a match for Hubbell, yielding 9 hits, fanning 5 and walking only 1. The Giants now travel to Chicago to open up a four-game series, followed by a trip to Pittsburgh for a 3-game set with the Pirates.

Boston's Tom Glavine (9-3 2.82) hurled his third shutout this season, blanking the last place Phils 3-0. Glavine allowed 5 hits, walked none and fanned 4. Losing pitcher Jiro Noguchi (10-11 3.83) deserved a better fate as he went the route, giving up 8 hits, 3 runs and struck out 6. His only crime was giving up home runs to Hank Aaron (.254), Joe Torre (.258) and Chipper Jones (.301). The Braves are in fifth place, 10.5 games behind Chicago and only a half-game out of the first division.

The St. Louis Cardinals remained in fourth place in the NL with a fine outing from steady Larry Jackson (11-8 3.88), who held Cincinnati to 5 hits in a 5-1 win at Sportsman's Park. Jackson's numbers included 6 strikeouts and 2 walks. The Redbirds Stan Musial (.247) and Tim McCarver (.274) smacked two-run homers off loser Ewell Blackwell (5-7 4.00). Musial has 22 for the season, while it was McCarver's first.
