"| Indians Are: rector full-bloods of emotional and ety all galvanic Coca Cola came up with four runs in the sixth to edge out the VX-1 Flyers, 7-6, in the first game of a softball double- header at Bayview Park last night. In the nightcap, the Diary Queen Blizzards roll past the Sonar School, 94, for their ninth straight win. Al Gehring scored from third base on a wild pitch to climax a four run rally and enable Coea Co- la to hand the Flyers their sixth straight loss. Coca Cola took a 1.0 lead in the first inning when Onelio Calero safe on an error, was sacrificed to sec- ond, and scored on Danny Lastres single to right. They added another in the second when Oscar Cruz beat out an infield hit, was sacri- ficed to second, and scored on Red Carey’s single to right. The Flyers picked up their first run in the fourth when Parker doubled and scored on Bass sin- gle to center. In the fifth, the Fly- ers knocked Carey out of the box with a five run rally on two walks, three hits, and a homer by Jim Greenwood. Coca Cola came back with a run in the bottom of the fifth when Ca- lero singled to right, took second on a wid pitch, and scored on Las- tes single to left. Parker, who went all the way for the Flyers, got wild and walk- ed three batters in the sixth, Geh- ring then came through with a sin- gle to center to score two runs and when the ball got away from Barney Morgan in center, the tying run scored with Gehring going to| 7: third. They attempted to give Ca- lero, the next hitter, an intentional pass, but Parker wild pitched the first pitch allowing Gehring to score the winning run. Lastres and K. Rodriguez each collected two hits to lead Coca Co- la’s offense. Greenwood paced the Flyers attack with a homer, tri- ple, and single in four tries. In the second game, the Bliz- zards took advantage of loose play- ing by the Sonar infield in the fourth inning to come up with four Tuns to give them a 4-2 lead which they never relinquished. Sonar got two runs off Bliz- zards pitcher Brody Grooms in the second en a double by Quinn Jen- es, a walk and two errors. In the fourth, the Blizzards jumped on Charles Franklin for fout unearned runs on three errors, a fielders choice, and singles by Claude Valdez and Al Pazo. They added two more in the fifth on two walks, an error, and a single by Bobby Santana. They iced the game in the sixth with a three run burst on an error, singles by Tito Angueria and John Lewis and a double by DeWitt Roberts. Sonar rallied for two runs in the seventh on two errors and singles by Jones and Franklin. Jones had a double and single to pace the Sonar hitters. Grooms, who got credit for his fourth win against no losses, struck out 10 and walked only one. The loss dropped Sonar into a tie with Coca Cola for second place.

YORK «#—Ben Hogan, the champion of all golf, has put off his first official crack at the heavyweight champion of golf courses—massive, fanged Baltus- rol, but the 150,000 handicap golf- ers across the nation still will get a chance to outscore him to- motrow. 5 Hogan was to test the 7,027-yard, par 70 Baltusrol, which has been armed with new rough and sand traps in the third annual National Golf Day -in which the handicap golfers of the country matched their scores against his. They still will shoot their rounds, but Bantam Ben will wait until June 12 before testing Baltusrol, — of the National Open June 1 “I’m too weak to do justice to the event,” Hogan said yesterday. The 4i-year-old shotmaker has been ill since last week with a virus attack. He was forced to withdraw from the Colonial Open oniaeed and was bedded several lays. “I’m not in very good physical condition,” he said, after arriving in New York yesterday. “I’ve been troubled with a cold since March. I got over most of my aches and pains but I still feel pretty misera- ble, and my’ golf game certainly isn’t sharp.” Then the leathery Texan buoyed a thousand golf hopes with the statement: “T don’t see jhow I can possibly win the Open.” Pat Acad.

The Saints‘won their first game 40 but lost the finale 5-3. The Indians had lost seven straight. The Flamingos took the first game on only two hits, - both doubles in the second inning. The Rebels got five safeties but could score only in the sixth. The second game went 11 innings and the Rebels went in front in the top of the 11th when two Miami errors let in a tally but the home team came back with two runs on two walks, two errors and a Squeeze bunt. Jesse Levan homer- ed for Miami and Jack Moroney hit a triple for Tallahassee. Each team was charged with five errors. Manager Rudy Laskowski blank- éd the Indians on four hits in the first game at West Palm Beach. The Saints rapped Jesus Ayon and Gil Torres for seven.

S. steel industry has the capacity to produce 1,500 pounds By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sports Writer If a hitter in a slump came to the New York Giants today for advice he probably would get pret- ty confused. Hank Thompson can 1 recommend highly 10 days of rest. Willie Mays would prescribe go- ing “all out” for 10 games. Both ways have worked miracles for the Giants’ stars. Thompson’s idleness wasn’t by choice — he was sidelined with a banged-up knee — but obviously it did him a world of good. When he got hurt against Pittsburgh May 25 the third baseman was hitting a puny .237 with six home Tuns and only 11 runs batted in. Last night in St. Louis he came back to the lineup and smashed home runs into the right field pavilion in his first three times at bat. He was walked purposely the fourth time as the crowd booed. He singled home a run on his fifth appearance. He accounted for eight runs and raised his average 25 points to .262.

(7—Compton’s Ramsaur Field, a small, cramped and improbable site for a major event, welcomes some of the world’s greatest track and field athletes tonight. The place boasts of one attribute, if nothing else—one of the fastest racing tracks in the nation. Over it will run the mighty Wes Santee of Kansas, taking dead aim at Roger Bannister’s 3:59.4 mile re- cord in the feature event of the evening. “I’m going to try real hard,” Santee promised. Sharing interest with the Santee appearance will be events featur- ing shot-putter Party O’Brien, ready to improve on his mark of 60 feet 5% inches; pole vaulter Bob Richards; half-miler Mal Whit- field; quarter-miler George Rhoden; discus star Fortune Gor- dien; sprinter Andy Stanfield; and long-distance runner Horace Ashenfelter. Santee, whose college career ended with the second fastest mile in histery, a mark of 4:01.3 set last Saturday, repeated on his arrival here that he hopes “to run faster—the best time I’ve had ever.” 10,000 MILE Guaranty on USED cars sion led the modern National League record shared by 16 other players but not duplicated since 1950. Ten games ago Mays was hitting .260, Now he has a 10-game hitting streak working during which he’s collected 23 safeties, 12 of them for extra bases and 8 of them home runs. He hit his 15th and 16th last night as the Giants wal- loped the Cardinals 13-8. This gave him a tie for the league lead with Hank Sauer of the Chicago Cubs. Mays drove in 5 runs to raise his total to 42, of which 22 have come in these last 10 games. Three other games in the Na- tional League were postponed be- cause of rain. In the American, the Chicago White Sox moved within a game of first-place Cleveland as they beat Boston 9-6 while the Indians were dropping a 2-1 verdict to the New York Yankees. W: edged Detroit 4-3 and Philadelphia and Baltimore swapped seventh eighth places again as the Ath- letics beat the Orioles 6-2. The Red Sox battered Virgil Trucks and Don Johnson, both of whom had beaten them on shutouts earlier this year, for 15 hits but left 13 men on base. The hits in- cluded Ted Williams’ fifth home run and Harry Agganis’ fifth . Cleveland collected 11 off Eddie Lopat and the Yankees got only four off Bob Lemon. But one of the four was a home run in the eighth inning by Joe Collins that gave the Yanks their first victory at home over Cleveland this season. All four Washington runs were unearned as Ned Garver gave up seven hits, Two of the three De- troit tallies also were tainted by errors. Maury McDermott was the winner. Don Larsen, who figured to be one of Baltimore’s leading pitchers lost his sixth game against only two victories. Joe DeMaestri hom- ered for Philadelphia, Bob Young for Baltimore, both with the bases empty. MUST SELL ‘52 PONTIAC Super ras hard ettimees 2-tone fnileage 18, v6 alles.
