One of Bonn’s worst spy scandals in history prompted a meeting between Chancellor Helmut Kohl and his Interior Minister, Friedrich Zimmermann. Mr. Kohl is expected to shake up West Germany’s intelligence establishment. As they conferred, the leader of the opposition Social Democratic Party, Hans-Jochen Vogel, said the Interior Minister, Friedrich Zimmermann, bore “political responsibility for the greatest endangering of security in the Federal Republic’s history.” Mr. Kohl’s spokesman told a news conference that after a Cabinet meeting Tuesday the Chancellor would have a second report on the spreading espionage affair and then draw the appropriate “personnel consequences” — an allusion to an anticipated shake-up in the country’s intelligence establishment. Mr. Vogel, suggesting that his party would seek the Interior Minister’s resignation, warned that “the scandal can in no way be cleaned up by measures against individual functionaries.” In coming debates, the Social Democrats are certain to recall that two of their senior figures had resigned because of espionage imbroglios — Chancellor Willy Brandt in 1974 and Defense Minister Georg Leber in 1978.
The French government again denies knowledge of bombing of the Greenpeace flagship the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland New Zealand. France’s Cabinet bears no responsibility for the sinking in New Zealand of a ship belonging to the antinuclear and environmentalist group Greenpeace, according to a special government investigator in Paris. The vessel had been scheduled to lead a flotilla of protest ships to the French nuclear testing area in the Pacific. In Wellington, New Zealand, Prime Minister David Lange said the report was “so transparent it could not be called a whitewash.”
A medical team will go to Moscow today to determine the risk to Americans caused by chemical agents purportedly used to keep track of American residents in the Soviet Union, the State Department said. It said the scientists would sample residential areas, Embassy work areas, cars and clothing to determine the extent and level of contamination.
Moscow raised prices on liquor, beer and champagne, bringing the price of the cheapest brand of vodka to 6.20 rubles a half-liter, or $8 a pint. The sharp increases are part of the anti-drinking campaign imposed by Mikhail S. Gorbachev.
The Irish Republican Army acknowledged that its members killed one of their own supporters, mistaking him for a policeman. The slaying was one of two last week that the IRA called cases of mistaken identity. In a statement sent to news media in Belfast, the IRA said its guerrillas, in error, targeted the car of Kieran Murray, 28, an election worker for Sinn Fein, the outlawed IRA’s legal political arm, thinking it belonged to a policeman. It extended “deepest sympathy” to Murray’s family. Earlier, IRA gunmen mistakenly killed a retired shopkeeper.
Cardinal Josef Glemp, the primate of Poland, said that Roman Catholics will not support Poland’s Communist government unless it stops propagating atheist values. Speaking at a religious shrine in Czestochowa attended by an estimated 200,000 pilgrims, Glemp condemned Marxism as a system whose “inspiration is based not on the force of thoughts but on the notion of force.” He said that Poland’s Government was less repressive toward the religion than are other regimes in the Soviet bloc, but that it was only trying to postpone the “final confrontation.” He rejected criticism in the state news media that the church is meddling in politics.
Austria has become the first Western nation in almost five years to promise new loans to Poland, signing an agreement rescheduling debts and pledging new financing, the Polish news agency said. The accord rescheduled payments due from 1982 to 1984 and pledged $40 million in state-guaranteed credits to fund Polish imports from Austria. Non-Communist creditor nations signed an agreement last month covering $12 billion in debts and paving the way for PolishAustrian talks on repayment and new loans.
Three Dutch balloonists who set out from Canada in an attempt to cross the Atlantic in record time ditched their craft in the Atlantic about 900 miles west of Land’s End, England, and were picked up unhurt six hours later by a merchant ship, British authorities reported. The balloon, carrying Henk Brink, 43, his wife, Evelien, 30, and Evert Louwman, 45, went down 33 ½ hours after lifting off from St. John’s, Newfoundland. A search plane spotted the balloon’s gondola in the ocean. The crew reported “technical trouble.”
A Palestinian nationalist who has been under house arrest since 1982 agreed to leave the Israeli-occupied West Bank for three years in return for the rescinding of a deportation order, his lawyer said. Halil abu Ziad, 40, was the first West Bank resident in five years to have faced expulsion under a tough new anti-guerrilla policy adopted after the murders of several Jews. Military officials described Abu Ziad, who completed a 10-year jail term in 1980, as a senior Palestine Liberation Organization leader.
Muslims celebrated the grandest feast in the Islamic calendar as worshipers in Saudi Arabia marked the climax of the annual pilgrimage to Islam’s holiest sites. In Cairo, thousands of Muslims offered prayers at dawn, then slaughtered sheep and distributed meat to the poor to observe the Feast of Sacrifice, or Eid al Adha. Saudi authorities said 851,000 Muslims from 118 countries converged on the shrines at Mecca and Medina.
The United States today affirmed its support for Tunisia’s security, amid a sharp rise in tension between that North African country and neighboring Libya. Tunisia, which has longstanding ties to the United States, asserted on Sunday that Libyan fighter planes had violated its airspace and that Libya had massed forces along the Tunisian-Libyan frontier, after days of charges and counter-charges. Today, the State Department said Washington stood by a pledge made by President Reagan to President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia on June 18 at the White House of American backing for Tunisia’s security and territorial integrity. The latest tensions between Libya and Tunisia arose two weeks ago when Libya suddenly ordered the expulsion of Tunisian workers, many of whom had been there for years. So far, about 23,000 Tunisians have been forced over the border into Tunisia, many of them without their property and documents.
Western diplomats here said today that Islamic guerrillas and Soviet soldiers were engaged in heavy new fighting in eastern Afghanistan and that Soviet reinforcements were being poured into the area. The sources said several thousand Soviet soldiers had begun a major attack against guerrilla forces in Paktia Province near the Pakistan border. They said about 200 trucks and other vehicles were seen leaving the Afghan capital of Kabul on Friday and heading for Khost, which has been surrounded by about 3,000 guerrillas for more than a year. Afghan army soldiers and several dozen Soviet advisers are garrisoned in the town. The Soviet attack also appears to be a continuation of earlier attempts this summer to close routes used by guerrillas to bring weapons and reinforcements across the border from Pakistan. Paktia Province, which is mostly controlled by the insurgents, has been an important route There are an estimated 115,000 Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan helping to fight the rebels.
Security was further tightened in the Punjab today after Sikh gunmen shot and killed two Hindus in the first slayings since a moderate Sikh leader was killed last week by Sikh extremists. Police and paramilitary patrols were increased and soldiers marched through the Sikh holy city of Amritsar in a show of force. On Sunday night, three Sikhs chased two Hindus riding a scooter near a Punjab village, shot them and stole their jewelry, the police said. The killings were the first since Harchand Singh Longowal, the moderate Sikh leader, was slain on Tuesday. A militant Sikh leader has been arrested and three others have been questioned in connection the killing, the police said today. The attack Sunday night at Sarhali, 25 miles from Amritsar, took place hours before nominations began for September 25 elections in Punjab, aimed at ending federal rule of the state.
Sri Lankan Government security forces said today that they had killed 10 Tamil separatist guerrillas in a jungle battle in eastern Sri Lanka. A ministry spokesman said the guerrillas were killed in a clash with soldiers patrolling the jungles of the Eastern Province’s Ampara district. The ministry said Sunday that soldiers had killed 26 guerrillas in a camp in Ampara. Rebel spokesman said the victims were civilians.
Besides being the worst single-plane catastrophe in aviation history, the crash of a Japan Air Lines jumbo jet two weeks ago is likely to become one of the most expensive disasters as well. Although no claims have been filed yet by victims’ families, the airline and its insurers are likely to pay more than $100 million, and perhaps double that. That does not include damages that may be sought in court from the plane’s manufacturer, the Boeing Company, should investigators determine that it shares blame for the crash of the Boeing 747SR that killed 520 people.
The Reagan Administration, as part of its effort to persuade Congress to renew aid to anti-Sandinista rebels, argued that continued financing of the guerrilla force was necessary to avoid the risk of sending American troops to Nicaragua, according to testimony recently made public. Langhorne A. Motley, then Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs, told a closed session of a House Appropriations subcommittee on April 18 that the rebels, widely referred to as the contras, were preventing the governing Sandinista Front from consolidating a Marxist-Leninist regime in the Cuban style and that if rebel military activities should be terminated it might become necessary to send American troops. “What we have tried to do in designing this program, the contra program, is create two do-not-wants,” Mr. Motley said, “because that is what the American public, as we understand it, and the President don’t want — they don’t want a second Cuba, that is, a Marxist-Leninist state. And they don’t want a second Vietnam, U.S. combat troops bogged down without a clear purpose.” “If you knock down one half of that,” he continued, “say Nicaragua is going Marxist-Leninist and continues to subvert its neighbors — it does not have the motivation not to do so — then the other side of the equation doesn’t hang up either.”
As General Augusto Pinochet approaches his 12th anniversary in power, his military government has been shaken by accusations that it was involved in the brutal killing of three Chilean Communists. The general has faced political unrest before. But unlike 1983, when widespread demonstrations put him on the defensive, the current crisis has been caused primarily by what appear to be divisions within the armed forces, according to political sources and diplomats here. It is unclear how deep or how widespread the problems are, they said. But, for the first time that anyone can here can remember since the general toppled the elected Marxist Government of Salvador Allende Gossens September 11, 1973, there have been rumors that a coup is in the making.
Eleven Chilean political parties have agreed on a declaration of principles intended to achieve “transition to full democracy” from military rule, the nation’s Roman Catholic primate announced. The agreement represents the second effort in two years by Cardinal Juan Francisco Fresno to achieve consensus on ending the authoritarian rule of President Augusto Pinochet. It proposes the choice of a Congress with power to reform Pinochet’s 1980 constitution to allow popular presidential elections.
Eritrean rebels said today that they had killed or wounded more than 1,500 Ethiopian Government soldiers and shot down a MIG fighter plane in heavy fighting last week.
Uganda’s military rulers met today with the country’s main guerrilla organization in an effort to end a four-year-old insurgency. Western diplomats said peace prospects had been improved by the military government’s dismissal Sunday of Paulo Muwanga as Prime Minister. He had been criticized by the rebels for his role as Defense Minister under President Milton Obote, who was overthrown in a military coup July 27. But a rebel spokesman said Mr. Muwanga’s dismissal made no difference in their stand in the talks being held in Nairobi. Diplomats said the chances for successful talks would be slim if the main rebel group, the National Resistance Army, which fought Mr. Obote for four years, continued to demand major representation in the government and to refuse to recognize the military government.
The Pretoria Government of President P. W. Botha is a “reformist administration” that has made “substantial changes” in eliminating some forms of racial discrimination, according to President Reagan. Critics of the Botha Government say it has made no effort to dismantle the major structures of apartheid, which deny the country’s 23 million blacks any voice in the Government and subject them to rules imposed by the 4.5 million whites as to where they may live and work.
The son of Bishop Desmond M. Tutu, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize, was detained today under South Africa’s sweeping emergency powers after he purportedly made insulting remarks to authorities. Trevor Tutu, 29 years old, was arrested at a magistrate court in Soweto during legal proceedings involving scores of schoolchildren who were rounded up by security forces in the sprawling black township last week for boycotting classes. He was reportedly taken to Diepkloof Prison in the township. Bishop Tutu, the Anglican leader, who helped mediate the release from detention of about 800 Soweto schoolchildren last Friday, said this evening that he was “proud of” his son and that his detention would help underscore the near-absolute powers of the police.
President Reagan will decide next week whether to endorse legislation to reverse a Supreme Court decision that required state and local governments to adhere to Federal wage and hour laws, a White House aide said today. The aide, Mitchell E. Daniels Jr., director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, said after a three-hour meeting with 150 mayors and county officials that he had told them, “This is a decision that only the President can make, after the Cabinet Council makes its recommendation early next week.” A bill introduced in the Senate would waive the overtime provision of the Federal law for municipal workers.
President Reagan goes horseback riding and does chores around the Ranch.
The federal government has paid millions of dollars in damages to relatives of the 154 persons killed in the crash of a Pan Am jetliner in New Orleans in 1982, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The FAA has denied fault in the storm-caused crash, saying air traffic controllers gave adequate warning of wind shear. But it agreed to split court-awarded damages with Pan Am because, had it been found liable in the deaths of 40 persons with overseas destinations, it would have had to pay all awards over the $75,000-per-person limit on airline liability in such cases. The total government payments have not been determined, the FAA said.
Ryan White, who has been barred from school since December because he has acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, today attended the first day of classes by a special telephone line linking his home to his seventh-grade classroom. The 13-year-old boy has been kept from the school by order of J. O. Smith, superintendent of the Western School Corporation, who says the school system is not equipped to handle students suffering from the deadly illness. The sound quality for the first day of school was good at the school, but poor in Ryan’s bedroom, which he uses as a classroom, at the family home near Kokomo. Ryan said he could make out little of the teacher’s instructions.
Continental Airlines, armed with a petition bearing the signatures of more than 90% of its 1,600 pilots, notified the Air Line Pilots Association that it no longer represents the carrier’s workers. The union, which has been on strike against Continental for nearly two years, has criticized the airline’s labor practices and questioned the safety of the carrier. Union spokesmen had no comment. The pilots will vote on creating an in-house union.
Florida’s state Cabinet, sitting as the Board of Executive Clemency, rejected Governor Bob Graham’s recommendation that a 76-year-old man sentenced to life in prison in the “mercy killing” of his sick wife be freed pending his appeal to the state Supreme Court. Two more Florida officials rejected Governor Graham’s recommendation to free a 76-year-old man while he appeals a murder conviction. The officials’ position left the Governor with only two of the three votes required from members of the independently-elected Cabinet to free the prisoner, Roswell Gilbert, who was sentenced to life in prison for killing her terminally-ill wife.
Eli Lilly officials knew of at least 28 deaths overseas reported to be linked with the arthritis drug Oraflex, but did not disclose them while seeking government approval to sell the drug in this country, according to a Justice Department report. The newly released report was prepared as part of a plea bargain with Lilly, which was fined $25,000 last week after pleading guilty to criminal charges of failing to notify the Government of deaths and injuries associated with the drug. The report is the most detailed account that Federal prosecutors have provided of Lilly’s actions in seeking approval for Oraflex. It says that Lilly had extensive information about deaths and ailments associated with Oraflex as early as 1981, but repeatedly failed to provide details to the Food and Drug Administration, as required.
A Nuclear Regulatory Commission board denied an operating license to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, situated about 50 miles east of New York City, because of inadequate emergency plans for handling a radiation disaster. The board said the emergency proposal by the Long Island Lighting Co., owner of the nuclear reactor, failed to provide a way to monitor those living near the plant who did not seek emergency shelter. It said also that the utility had not proved that nearby Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which holds up to 17,000, could provide shelter for all those needing it in an emergency.
Poisonous hydrochloric acid leaked tonight from a Union Carbide plant in South Charleston, West Virginia about a mile and a half from where an estimated 60,000 people had gathered for an outdoor concert, but the spill was contained quickly, and no injuries were reported, the authorities said. Emergency whistles sounded at the sprawling plant as the company’s fire crews worked on the spill, and a white cloud of steam rose over the facility. No residents were evacuated, said Glen Smith, a spokesman for Kanawha County Emergency Services. The South Charleston plant was the site of a toxic leak of a hydraulic fluid component on August 13. It is about five miles from Union Carbide’s plant accross the Kanawha River at the town of Institute, where a spill of more toxic chemicals, aldicarb oxime and methylene chloride, occurred August 11 and sent 135 people to the hospital. The spill at South Charleston, a suburb west of Charleston, occurred about 8:30 PM in a section of the plant that is on an island in the river.
A judge told the Justice Department to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against the government officials who pressed a 32-month investigation of Jackie Presser, the teamster union leader. The federal district judge, Sam H. Bell, granted a new trial to Allen Friedman, a former teamster official, on the grounds that prosecutors withheld crucial information in not disclosing that Mr. Presser was a federal informant. In the discovery process of criminal proceedings, the prosecution is required to give the defense all material relevant to the case.
A tentative contract agreement averted a teachers’ strike in Detroit; but, in Chicago and Philadelphia, threatened walkouts could keep 625,000 students on extended vacations. Detroit teachers tentatively accepted a 10% raise this year and an additional 5.5% next year. Chicago teachers, who have a strike deadline of next Tuesday, were deadlocked in talks with the Board of Education. Philadelphia teachers have threatened to strike but have not set a date.
New York state announced guidelines for hospital care of AIDS patients, saying that a diagnosis of acquired immune deficiency syndrome is “not sufficient reason to refuse admission.” The state health department, responding to complaints that AIDS sufferers are barred from hospitals or neglected as patients, said there is no evidence that hospital personnel risk contracting the disease on the job.
A federal appeals court upheld the Texas sodomy law banning homosexual activity. In a 9–7 decision, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a Dallas judge who had ruled the law an unconstitutional violation of privacy. “In view of the strong objection to homosexual conduct, which has prevailed in Western culture for the past seven centuries, we cannot say that (the Texas law) is totally unrelated to the pursuit of implementing morality, a permissible state goal,” the judges said.
State troopers stormed through a door in a maximum-security mental hospital in Tuscaloosa, Alabama today and killed one of the two patients who had held a woman hostage for 17 hours. The authorities said Kirk Balius, 20 years old, was shot to death at the Taylor Hardin Secure Medical Facility about 2 PM. Neither the hostage nor Mr. Balius’s alleged accomplice, Steve Nedegger, was injured, officials said. The patients, armed with a pair of surgical scissors, took Sarah Tichenor, 57, a technician, as a hostage Sunday night. The men were at the center for evaluation on whether they were fit to stand trial, Mr. Balius on robbery charges and Mr. Nedegger on theft charges.
School district and union negotiators in Detroit agreed to a tentative contract yesterday, averting a strike by 11,500 teachers, but 102 teachers in northeastern Ohio picketed on their district’s first day of classes. Strikes were also discussed in Philadelphia and Chicago where teachers had no contracts, with classes scheduled to start early next week. A union official in Detroit said he expected his members to ratify a proposed two-year pact that called for a 10 percent pay raise the first year and a 5.5 percent raise the second year. In Girard, Ohio, teachers returned to the picket lines after an eight-hour bargaining session Sunday failed to end the city’s first teacher strike. A school official said classes started two hours late, with substitute teachers. More than 1,600 teachers in Flint, Michigan, voted to strike today but talks were continuing late last night. In Butte, Montana, teachers agreed to report to classes today without an agreement.
Eleanor Smeal, the recently elected president of the National Organization for Women, called on supporters yesterday to remember “our suffragette mothers” by renewing a drive for the proposed Equal Rights Amendment. Mrs. Smeal’s remarks in Pittsburgh came in one of several rallies around the country observing the 65th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which guarantees women the right to vote. Mrs. Smeal, 45 years old, who was elected in July, had been president from 1977 to 1982 and takes office again Sunday.
A handful of trades highlighted a busy day for National Football League teams yesterday, as another cutdown approached and teams began reaching the 50-man roster limit by today’s 4 PM deadline. The biggest deals involved the Washington Redskins, who obtained R. C. Thielemann, an offensive lineman and a three-time Pro Bowl player, from the Atlanta Falcons, and the wide receiver Malcolm Barnwell, a three-year starter for the Los Angeles Raiders. To get Thielemann, the Redskins traded Charlie Brown, a Pro Bowl wide receiver in 1982 and 1983, who had missed nearly half of last season with an injured ankle. For Barnwell, the Redskins gave the Raiders a draft choice.
Archie Manning, a quarterback in the NFL for 15 years, retired from the Minnesota Vikings. Manning, 35 years old, was acquired from the Vikings in September 1983 from New Orleans. In his career, Manning completed 2,011 of 3,542 passes for 23,911 yards.
Zola Budd sliced more than 10 seconds off the women’s world record for 5,000 meters today after secretly entering the meet to avoid possible anti-apartheid protests. Miss Budd, a South African native who is now a naturalized Briton, stormed away from Ingrid Kristiansen and finished in 14 minutes 48.07 seconds, shattering Mrs. Kristiansen’s year-old mark of 14:58.89. The Norwegian finished second, 60 yards behind, despite also bettering her previous record with a time of 14:57.43.
Major League Baseball:
The Braves fire manager Eddie Haas, who led the club to a 50–71 record and 12 losses in its last 13 games. Bobby Wine will serve as interim manager.
The Braves defeated the Pirates, 2–1. Brave owner Ted Turner’s managerial change worked. Well, at least, for one game. Gerald Perry singled home Dale Murphy with one out in the bottom of the ninth to give new Manager Bobby Wine a victory at Atlanta. Gene Garber (4–4) pitched one inning in relief to get the win and kept the Braves, who made the managerial change with Atlanta 22 games behind the Dodgers, from losing any ground. The win also broke a six-game Brave losing streak. Don Robinson (4–9) took the loss.
Danny Cox continued his season-long mastery of the Cincinnati Reds tonight, tossing a six-hitter as the St. Louis Cardinals won, 3–0, for their sixth victory in a row. Terry Pendleton singled home a run and Ozzie Smith bunted in another to help the Cards maintain their hold on first place in the National League East. The Cards improved to 76–46, the first time they have been 30 games over .500 since 1968. Cox (14–7) has allowed just one earned run in completing his three starts against the Reds this season, including a pair of shutouts. He walked three and struck out one for his ninth complete game and fourth shutout Monday. One of the Reds’ hits was a first-inning single by Pete Rose, leaving him 11 short of breaking Ty Cobb’s career mark of 4,191 hits.
Fernando Valenzuela won his ninth straight, improving his season record to 16–8, and the Dodgers beat the Mets, 6–1. Los Angeles won for the fifth time in eight meetings between the clubs this year. St. Louis won their game, 3–0, over the Reds, and pushed the Mets two games from first. Valenzuela allowed 10 hits, all singles, walking just a single batter, and striking out eight. The Mets had gone ahead in the third inning on Tom Paciorek’s single. But the Dodgers scored their runs in two sudden flurries. With one out in the sixth, the Met pitcher Ed Lynch, who had given up just four hits to that point, watched five straight singles zip to the outfield. When Valenzuela hit a sacrifice fly, the Dodgers had four runs in the inning. They added two more in the seventh.
The Phillies edged the Padres, 4–3. Juan Samuel’s single with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning scored Tom Foley with the tie-breaking run for the Phillies. Foley singled with one out and moved to second on a walk to Greg Gross. The pinch-hitter Tim Corcoran walked to load the bases off the rookie reliever Lance McCullers. Samuel then ripped McCullers’s first pitch into right field for his 10th game-winning hit of the season. The Phillies went ahead again 3–2 in the fourth as Rick Schu walked with one out, advanced to third on a single and scored on a sacrifice fly by their starting pitcher, Shane Rawley.

Chili Davis hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs to lead San Francisco over the Expos, 7–4. Dave LaPoint (7–11) allowed six hits and three runs over seven innings. Scott Garrelts finished for his 12th save and doubled home a pair of runs in the ninth inning.
Eddie Murray belts 3 home runs, including a grand slam in the 5th, and drives in 9 runs as the Orioles crush the Angels, 17–3. Dennis Martinez goes 8 innings for the win, while John Candelaria is lit up for 7 runs in 1 ⅔ inning. The Birds total 7 homers in the game to tie a team record set May 17, 1967 and Murray’s 9 ribbies ties a team mark set by Jim Gentile.
The Blue Jays topped the Twins, 4–3. George Bell hit a homer for the fourth straight game and Garth Iorg doubled twice and drove in two runs for Toronto. Bell hit his 27th of the season in the sixth inning off the starter Bert Blyleven (12–13). Minnesota had closed to within 3–1 on fourth-inning doubles by Kent Hrbek and Randy Bush off Doyle Alexander (13–8). Alexander allowed only four other hits in his six and one-third innings to run his record to 37–14 since August 27, 1983.
The A’s beat the Yankees, 3–2. Dave Collins’ two-out infield single with the bases loaded scored pinch-runner Steve Keifer with the winning run in the 15th inning at Oakland. The loss dropped the second-place Yankees four games behind Toronto in the East.
The Royals routed the Rangers, 9–2. George Brett hit a homer for the fourth consecutive game and drove in four runs, while Hal McRae and Dave Leeper knocked in two runs apiece for Kansas City. Willie Wilson sparked the Kansas City attack with three singles, three runs scored and three stolen bases, giving him 39 on the year.
Greg Walker hit a home run with one out in the bottom of the 10th for Chicago to give the White Sox the victory over the visiting Red Sox, 7–6. Walker’s 17th homer of the season came on a 1–2 pitch from Bob Stanley (6–6), and made a winner of Bob James (6–5), Chicago’s fifth pitcher.
The Indians and Brewers split a twinbill, with the host Indians taking the opener, 4–3, and Milwaukee capturing the nightcap, 8–3. In the first game at Cleveland, Jerry Willard hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Indians the victory. Andre Thornton hit two home runs for Cleveland. Charlie Moore singled home the tie-breaking run during a three-run eighth inning that gave the Brewers the split of their doubleheader.
The Tigers dropped the Mariners, 6–3. Juan Berenguer pitched seven strong innings and got support from Darrell Evans, who hit his 29th home run, and Lou Whitaker, who also drove in two runs at Seattle.
