September 12.195--7 Ted Ties For Batting Lead; Phils Snap Loss Skein Gels 2 For 4 In 4-1 Boston Loss To (hisox By ED WILKS AiMtUUd Frets Sftrlt Writer Well, well, look' who's tied (or the American League batting lead. A guy named Ted Williams from Boston. It's been a.

long haul. All thai fuss over his ankle in the spring, end missing opening day because of food poisoning. He didn't get over .300 until July 1. Then he had another spit spat with a booing crowd. He spent his Wth birthday fighting a vims.

The sickness kept him out of action from Aug. 24 to last Tuesday, when he was fifth in the batting race at .315. He has gone 5-for-ll since, tying teammate Pete Runnels for the lead at .320 yesterday with a 2-(or-4 day as the Red Sox lost 4-1 at Chicago. Right behind is Bob Cerv of Kansas City at .319, Cleveland's Vic Power fourth et .315. Williams, shooting for his sixth title (although a far cry from his winning .388 of last season, drove in the lone Boston run as the White Sox swept the three-game set and look a lead over the Red Sox for second place.

The New York Yankees, who could clinch the pennant Sunday, were idle. They open a two-game set at Chicago tonight with a KHz- game lead and their magic number at five. Washington took a season series from Detroit for the first time since 1954 by beating the Tigers 7-6, and Kansas City belted Baltimore 7-1 in the only other AL games scheduled. Philadelphia beat- Los Angeles 4-3 in the only National League game. Dick Donovan (13-13) tnrew a for the White Sox.

But he needed Turk Lown's mop- up afler he gave up his only two walks (one to Runnels, who was and Williams' single in the eight inning. The White Sox counted their four in the fifth. Two-out, two-run singles by -Jim' Landis and Nellie Fox did it against Ike Delock (12-7). Roy Sievers and Albie Pearson each drove in two runs for the Senators. John Romonosky (2-4) it in relief.

He retired the first 17 men he faced, but needed Ted Clevenger's help to put down a three-run Tiger try in the ninth. Al Cicotte (34) lost it. Ned Garver, knocked off the Birds for the fourth time, in six decisions this season with a four- hitter. They scored on two singles and a fly ball in the third inning, but Carver (12-10), a Comeback of the Year possibility, up only, one more hit, none after the fifth. Preston Ward's sacrifice fly gave ti'ie A's a 2-1 led in the fifth against Billy O'Dell (K-ll).

Cerv's lone hit was his 33rd home run, five- Fernandez Stan In 4-3 Triumph Over Dodgers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS No one ever has accused Eddie Sawyer of being buddy-buddy with his guys, but he's a "great man for psychology as a retread manager lies. with the Philadelphia Phil- Has 4 Job Offers Friday Fastball By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AMERICAN LEAGUE W.

Scene Shifts To Denver Tonight Just a few days ago he took a Detroit i a Chico Fernandez, the Cleveland chipper, proud shortstop peddled Baltimore to Ihe Phils by the Dodgers last Kansas City "He hasn't shown me a Washington thing," 6aid Sawyer, the pennant skipper of 1950 who returned as Phils' manager July 22. If Chico hasn't shown Sawyer anything since then, Sawyer just hasn't been looking. Sunday, the day after Sawyer's dig, the Phils lost a double-header to Cincinnati, but Chico was 5- for-8 and drove in a run.

Tuesday he doubled home the Phils' first run when they heat Los Angeles 4-3 and ended their losing siring at eeven. Wednesday, Fernandez was hitless, but the Phils.beat Los Angeles 8-6. Last night, Chico really beat the rap. He tied the game with a two- run single, then stole second and counted the winning run on Dave Philley's pinch single for a three- run eighth inning that beat the Dodgers 4-3. It was the only game scheduled in Ihe National League.

In the American League, first place New York was idle. The Chicago White Sox whipped Boston 4-1, Washington tripped Detroit 7-6 and Kansas City defeated Baltimore 7-1. .607, .532 .507 .486 .482 .478 .475 .432 Hutch May Beat Cards To Punch MILWAUKEE (AP) If not be ready to of the St. Louis Cardinals don't his successor.

Alvin Dark, the veteran 35-year- old infielder traded by the Cardinals to the Chicago Cubs earlier season, is believed to have the inside track for the job if the Cardinals are willing to pay the price in baseball talent that it will take to get him back.

The only way the Cardinals could acquire Dark before Sept. 29--the day after the season ends and eight days after Hutch indicated he will make his on waivers. Cardinal officials have indicated Hutch's future with the club might hinge on the club's performance during the remainder of the season. The Cardinals have been doing pretty well, winning 7 of their last 0 games, but it's unlikely breach between the manager and irewery owner August A. Busch, club president, can be healed.

"I made the mistake of telling him what 1 thought a couple of imes," Hulchinson said. "I thought 1 was doing him a favor." Hutchinson would not give details of his jobs offers except to say one comes from the National League, two from the American Bears Take Series Lead; Nip Sens 3-0 DENVER, Colo.
