Boston's Dick Stuart Pleases At The Plate So Fielding Forgiven By BOB GREEN Associated Press Sports Writer Dick Stuart may not have had an equal since Zeke Bonura, For the younger fans in the audience, Zeke Bonura was a large right-handed hitting first baseman who played in the ma- jors -- principally for Chicago White Sox--from 1934 through 1940. He hit the ball as few players have done. He also played first base as few players have done. The latter was his undoing. Stuart, a large right-handed hitting first baseman for Bos- ton Red Sox, comes close to qualifying in each respect. He's hitting the ball, at least so far as power is concerned, better than any other player in the American League. Red Sox love to talk about that, They don't particularly eare to talk about his fielding. Nor does Stuart. So perhaps we shouldn't. Except to quote Red Sox manager Johnny Pesky: "After all, Dick is 6-3 and weighs close to 220 pounds." Which may explain his field-| ing, or something. The figures explain his hit- ting. The Red Sox belter, who once hit 66 homers in: the mi- nors, drove in two runs On a cou- ple of singles and a homer in Boston's 11-2 romp over Chi- ance increased his American League leads to 33 home runs and 93 runs batted in, Stuart's performance and a grand-slam homer by Red Sox' Ed Bressoud prevented the sec- ond-place White Sox from clos- ing up any on the league lead- ing New York Yankees, who took a 7-4 licking from Cleve- land Indians despite a grand slam homer by John Blanchard. Kansas City Athletics beat Washington Senators 6-2 and Baltimore Orioles whipped Los Angeles Angels 5-1 in the only other games played. Bonura hit 27 homers and drove in 110 runs when he broke in with White Sox in 1936, and in the four years he played with them averaged 20 home runs and 110 RBIs, He was sold the season after he hit a career high of .345, and his inability to move in the field was the big reason. He was finished at the age of 32 after seven years in the ma- jors, in which he compiled a lifetime average of .307. Stuart's career has been re-| markably similar. Though he has never hit for a high aver-! age, he has long been highly regarded as a right - handed power hitter. "The Pittsburgh club/couldn't have made me happier if they'd doubled my salary," Stuart cago Thursday. The perform- chortled when Pirates . traded him away from spacious Forbes Field to the Red Sox' chummy Fenway Park last winter. He took one look at the close left field wall and announced: "With any kind of breaks, es- pecially if I hit on the road, I should be among the league leaders in home runs and RBI." He singled in Boston's three- run second inning and hit his 33rd homer in the next inning, providing all the working room rookie Dave Morehead needed to win, Bressoud, who also drove in runs with two sacrifice flies, hit his grand slam in 2 five-run seventh. Blanchard's grand slam came in the sixth, but Indians had built a 6-0 lead by that time and blanked Yanks the rest of the way, gaining a split of the four-game series, Tito Fran- cona, Fred Whitfield and Willie Kirkland homered for the win- ers. John Powell hit his 21st homer of the season, a two-run shot, in the first inning and rookie Dave McNally went the dis- jtance for the first time since |April 20 in Baltimore's victory over Los Angeles, Powell now has hit .432 in his last 11 games for Orioles, Norm Siebern drove in three \runs with a homer and a single and Ed Rakow won his first since June 22 in Athletics' tri- umph over Washington.

By the time Flood, who had four hits for the night, retraced his steps, it was too late to try and score. As it turned out, the Cardi- nals snapped the tie in the sixth on a double by Ken Boyer and Julian Javier's single, ending the Dodgers' winning. streak at seven games and trimming their leadto 64% games. Milwaukee Braves, who have moved into sixth place by win- ning eight of their last 10, lost to third-place San Francisco 8-6 as Juan Marichal posted his 19th victory despite a grand- slam homer by Milwaukee's Joe Torre. The Giants are 74% back. In the only other NL game, Roberto Clemente hit a grand- slam homer in Pittsburgh's 9-3 belting of Chicago Cubs. The Cardinals scored twice in the first against Dodgers starter Don Drysdale, 16-14. Dick Groat was hit by a pitch, moved to third on a single by White and scored on Stan Musial's grounder before Boyer singled White home. The Dodgers came back to tie in the third against Ernie Broglio, 14-8, on run-pro- ducing singles by Wally Moon and Tommy Davis. THEY'RE WOOING CASSIUS IN HIS OWN HOUSTON (AP) --K. S. (Bud) Adams, Houston oil- man who owns the Houston football Oilers and dabbles in fights, penned a poem Thurs- day: "Gaseous Cassius Clay, do you want this big pay? All of Texas is awaiting the day when 'Big Cat?' Williams pounces on 'Big Mouth' Clay." He also had a wheel bar- Tow filled with crisp $100 bills to the value of $180,000. Adams is no Walt Whitman but his poem plus the big stack of cash got the point across, Adams said it was to show LANGUAGE? Clay, the Louisville lip, he and fellow oilman Hugh Ben- bow, who co-manages Cleve- land Williams, mean business. Adams and Benbow wired Clay and his backers earlier this week they were offering the world's No. 1 heavyweight contender $10,000 to sign for a fight with Williams here, $10,- 000 more when Clay weighs in for the bout, $10,000 when Clay climbs into the ring with the Cat, then $10,000 for each round Clay can last'with the hard-punching Williams.
