Jim Rivera had 2 base hits and Dick Donovan allowed Marty Marion to rest his
bullpen, tossing a complete game at Comiskey Park as the dominant Chicago
White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers in 10 innings by the count of 2 to 1.
The score was knotted at 1 after nine innings. Chicago won it in the 10th
inning. Minnie Minoso drew a walk. Rivera stepped up next and he drew a
walk. Bob Kennedy then laid down a sacrifice bunt. Walt Dropo followed and
he was walked intentionally to load the bases. After another out, Les Moss
stepped up to the plate and he hit a single making Chicago the victors to the
delight of the home town faithful. Chicago banged out 7 on the afternoon.
The victory went to Donovan(14-4) who went the distance allowing 1 run. Al
Aber(4-7) absorbed the loss in relief. His biggest problem was control as he
allowed 5 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.
Billy Hoeft tossed a 3 hitter as the Tigers bested the White Sox 2-1 in the 1st of 2 games today.

Billy Hoeft pitched a 3 hitter at Comiskey Park as the Detroit Tigers beat the
Chicago White Sox 2 to 1.
Detroit came up with 2 runs in the 6th inning. The key offensive moment was
provided by Charlie Maxwell who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd
when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 4th of the
season). Detroit had only 5 hits for the game.
The win was credited to Hoeft(15-8) who went the whole way allowing 1 run.
Connie Johnson(4-4) was the losing pitcher. The Detroit ballclub's record
now stands at 64-57. With the loss, Chicago has a record of 5-5 lately,
78-40 overall.

Sammy White had 5 hits and 3 RBI at Griffith Stadium as the Boston Red Sox,
running on all cylinders, ripped the woeful Washington Nationals by a large
19 to 7 margin.
White provided the offensive punch. He smashed a two-run homer (his 10th of
the season) in the 2nd inning, tripled in the 4th inning, delivered a
one-base hit in the 7th inning, laced a base-hit scoring a run in the 7th
inning and slapped a single in the 8th inning. Boston bats were hot in the
7th inning when they had 9 runs on 7 hits. Boston had 22 hits for the game
and Washington had 13.
The winning pitcher was Frank Baumann(2-0) who allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3
innings. Camilo Pascual(1-10) was tagged with the loss in relief.
Don Larsen pitched a 3 hit shutout and Yogi Berra homered twice as New York pounded Baltimore 14-0.

Catcher Yogi Berra launched 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Don Larsen blanked
Baltimore allowing just 3 hits at Yankee Stadium as the mighty New York
Yankees embarrassed the pathetic Baltimore Orioles by the lopsided score of
14 to 0.
It was a good day for New York thanks to Berra. He cracked a two-run shot in
the 4th inning, laced a one-base hit bringing in a run in the 4th inning and
smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 25th of the season) in the 7th
inning. New York finished with 15 hits in the victory.
It was the 2nd shutout of the year for Larsen(6-1). Ed Lopat(5-8) was the
loser. He gave up 5 runs in 3 innings of work.
'I've been working on a few things in my delivery, and I think I'm hitting a
good groove.' Larsen said after the game. 'I'm ready to start another game
tomorrow!'

AL Transaction August 21st
The Chicago White Sox activated 27 year old righthander Dick Donovan from the DL today. Donovan had been placed on the DL July 30th and at the time was tied for the AL lead in wins with 13. After 4 years with short stints in the big leagues he was aquired from Detroit in the off season and has been a major cog in Chicago's run for the pennant with a (13-4) record and a 3.08 ERA in 131 innings. In 17 starts Donovan has 9 complete games and White Sox skipper Marty Marion plans on starting him in today's ballgame.
