George Witt, who has been troubled with a sore tendon near his right elbow, started for the Pirates and picked up his first victory of the year compared to no defeats. He pitched six innings, gave up five hits, fanned five and walked two. Elroy Face finished the game for the Bucs.

THE PIRATE victory stopped Drysdale's victory string at six and left him with a 10-11 mark for the It also gave the Pirates their second victory in the three-game series with the Dodgers. The Pirates got two runs off Drysdale in the first. Bill Virdon scored one when he tripled and came home on Dick Groat's sacrifice fly.

A walk to Del Crandall and successive singles by Eddie Mathews and Hank Aaron gave the Braves a run with only one out and two on. There was a flurry of activity in the bull pen but Sadecki put out the Braves by striking out Joe Adcock and getting Mel Roach on a fly ball.

He bettered that, however, v.ath a time of 2:13.4 in winning the National A. A. U. title at Toledo last July 23. Gillanders, a 21-year-old Michigan senior from Royal Oak, came from way behind to beat Tony Tashnick, a teammate from the Detroit A.

"Other than that, I was close all the way," he smiled. Rosburg, who became a pro in 1953 after graduating from Stanford University, employs an unorthodox grip.

Salons Lengthen White Slump Dykes and Indians Agree on Contract Former Tiger Manager Starts New Job Today DETROIT, Aug. Dykes said tonight he will take over as manager of the Cleveland Indians tomorrow under an agreement that extends only until the end of the current American League season. Dykes had threatened last night not to report to Cleveland unless he also got a contract for the 1961 season, similar to the. one Joe Gordon held when Detroit and Cleveland made their unprecedented swap of managers Wednesday Dykes said his agreement covering the remainder of the 1960 season was a verbal one so far with General Manager Frank Lane of Cleveland. DYKES SAID he talked half an hour with Lane by telephone today and reached "a very agreeable understanding" with the Indian boss.

The 63-year-old Dykes, who came to Detroit's faltering Tigers early last season from a Pittsburgh Pirates coaching box, said he would confer further with Lane tomorrow. Lane reported earlier at Cleveland that he had talked with Dykes and they were in agreement. Dykes, who was one of the principals of yesterday's swap of field had balked when he learned that he was being hired only for the remainder of the 1960 season. He said he had understood he would get the same contract at Cleveland that Gordon, who takes over the Detroit Tigers from Dykes, had with the Indians. THAT CONTRACT ran through the 1961 season and provided Gordon a salary of $35,000 compared with Dykes' $32,000 at Detroit.

Lane said he talked to Dykes by telephone today and Dykes agreed that there had been nothing in their previous conversations about 1961. The Cleveland general manager said the 63-year-old Dykes assured him he will come to Cleveland tomorrow to take over the Indians and "I'll not embarrass you (Lane)." "You and I have no misunderstandings," Lane quoted Dykes as saying. The Detroit field manager told Lane he had understood in conversations with Bill DeWitt, president of the Tigers, that he would get the same contract the 45-year- old Gordon had, but agreed that Lane had not made any such commitment. Lane said he assured Dykes that "if there is a marked im- Washington Inflicts Fourth Loss in Row On Pale Hose, 2 to 1 BY THE ASSOCIATED' PRESS Earl Battey's two-run homer in the eighth inning gave the Washington Senators a 2 to 1 victory over the slumping Chicago White Sox last night. The loss was the fourth straight for the defending American League champions, who dropped games behind the idle first place New York Yankees.

Early Wynn was sailing along with a 1 to 0 lead, which the Sox had managed by scoring an unearned run in the fourth, when Battey slammed his tenth homer in the left field stands after Faye Throneberry had walked. CHICAGO'S LONE run came in the fourth when Nellie Fox led off with a single and took second on a sacrifice bunt. Roy Sievers bounced to shortstop Jose Valdivielso, who hobbled the ball and then threw wide to first, enabling Fox to score. Valdivielso was given a double error on the play. Battey's game-winning blow was his first homer since June 21, shackling Wynn with his eighth defeat against seven wins.

The White Sox managed only five hits off starter Don Lee and relievers Ray Moore and Hal Woodeshick. Moore was credited with his third victory against three losses, but he needed help from Woodeshick in the eighth. Boston employed a youth plus age formula to sweep a doubleheader from Kansas City, 5 to 3 and 9 to 1, and avoid the American League cellar. The rookie of Earl Wilson and Jim Pagliaroni combined for a six- hitter in the nightcap.
