Bachall Reals “Annual Ke aa New Orleans 5 Major League Teams y West-Marathon Fight For July 4th Lead= Giants Keep Nat'l Lead With Victory Over Cubs By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer Five teams are waging a bitter battle for first place by the Fourth of July — the date that tradition has marked as Championship Day.” Since the turn of the century ap- proximately seven out of every 10 major league leaders on July 4 have gone on to win the pennant. With only a week to go, no team 4s assured of the top spot on the midseason holiday. The New York Giants lead Brooklyn by one game today but the National League pace-setters face a “crucial” three- game series with the Dodgers at the Polo Grounds starting to- morrow. Cleveland sports a 1%-game ad- vantage over Chicago in the Amer- fean League but the White Sox can dislodge the indians with a sweep of their four-game series in Cleve- land next weekend. A letdown by. each could pave the way for the New York Yankees to bypass both of them. While the Indians and White Sox are at each other's throats, the Yankees will engage the second - division Washington Senators in a four-game set at to a game and a half yesterday, salyaging the last of a three-game les from‘ the Yankees 4-3 while deficit to three games. New York's sizzling Giants main- tained their one-game advantage over the Dodgers with an uphill 3-2 vietory over the Chicago Cubs in . Blanked by Warren Tacker with two hits through eight innings, the Giants tied the score at 2-2 when Whitey Lockman hit a two-run homer with two out in ninth and won in the 10th when Mays‘ doubled, stole third scored on pinch hitter Bobby ’s single off loser Hal Jeff- ppeeverehe with his 19th and 20th homers kie Robinson, Roy Cam- and Junior Gilliam each Haddix, the Redbirds’ left-hander, ‘was the vic- the home run blasts. his 10-game winning cher Roe failed to last but was credited with triumph.

The leading base candidate for the All- Star team banged a three-run hom- er to give Curt Simmons his Hamner tripled with one out in the ninth, driving in both runs in the nighteap. Frank Thomas’ ninth-inning sin- gle gave Pittsburgh a 4-3 victory after the Cincinnati Reds had won the opener 9-0 behind Corky Valen- tine’s five-hit pitching. Ted Klus- zewski drove in two Redleg runs with a double and two singles. First baseman Dick Kryhoski drove in the winnifig runs in each game as the Baltimore Orioles de- feated the Philadelphia Athletics 4-3 and 3-2 and climbed into sixth place, The double win gave the Orioles five straight following a nine-game losing streak. Kryhoski, who extended his hit- ting streak through 18 straight games, singled in Bobby Young from second with the winning run in the 11th inning of the opener. His winning single in the second game came in the ninth and scored pitcher Joe Coleman, who regis- tered his eighth triumph. Bob Porterfield, backed up by the homer hitting of Eddie Yost, Pete Runnels and Mickey Vernon, coasted to his ninth victory as Washington walloped Detroit 8-2 to ™move within a game of the fourth- Place Tigers. Homers by Dave Philley and Wally Westlake and four-hit relief pitching by Hal Newhouser through six innings gave the Indians their hard-fought triumph over Whitey Ford and the Yankees.

Greenwood and Rodriguez split the hurling duties for the Cubans. and they gained their last run in the seventh on two walks and Bolt, Stewart Meet Today In Insurance Play WETHERSFIELD, Conn. ww — Colorful Tommy Bolt and red- haired Earl Stewart Jr. meet to- day in a battle of Texans for top money in the $15,000 Insurance City Open Golf Tournament at the Wethersfield Country Club. They tied yesterday at 271 in the .72hole tourney, one of New England’s major sports events, and were scheduled to start an 18-hole playoff today. The low score at the end of the round will be worth eM, with $1,800 going to the er. The 32-year-old Stewart, who combines a steady golf game with his ready wit, picked up five strokes on Bolt in a dramatic final round windup yesterday. While Bolt was having trouble with his putter and touring the 6,551-yard par 35-36—71 course in regulation figures, Stewart posted a 66, which included five birdies.

Andrade Risks Unbeaten Record In NYC Tonight NEW YORK \#—Cisco Andrade, a rising star in the lightweight division, takes an unbeaten string of 24 fights into tonight’s 10-round match with Johnny Digilio of Bayonne, N.J., at New York’s St. Nicholas Arena. Only a draw with Freddie (Babe) Herman last Oct. 7 mars the per- fect record of Andrade, known as the Compton (Calif) Comet. Di- gilio, another youngster with only 21 pro fights, whipped Herman in a prelim at Madison Square Garden March 19.

It is the most.open all-England tennis tournament since World War II. Most of the excited fans were not at all sure that No. 1 seeded Tony Trabert of Cincinnati would make the final round. Even London bookies, who will lay betting odds on almost any- thing, were uncertain whether they had the right man in the favorite spot. “He was even in the betting be- fore his match against Sweden’s Sven Davidson,” said one bookie. “Now Trabert is still the favorite— but at longer odds of 6-4.” Trabert, his hands bleeding and blistered, scrambled to a five-set victory over Davidson 3-6, 12-10, 6-0, 7-9, 6-3 last Saturday. All the quarter-finalists are in the seeded list with the first five “seeds” still in there swinging. To- day is the time when fans will be looking for the upsets. So far form has run a true course. Trabert tackles Mervyn Rose, Aussie left-hander, who shines at doubles, but is overshadowed by Bobby Dykes in his last start,|fellow countrymen Ken Rosewall and Lewis Hoad in the singles. Second-seeded Hoad, 19-year-old Aussie star with a booming service, takes on Czech-born veteran Jaro- slav Drobny, who now lives in Egypt. Defending champion Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, seeded fourth, had a hard battle against Belgium’s Jackie Brichant before making the quarter-finals. Seixas goes against Budge Pa‘ty Ted Williams Inspires Red Sox Players CHICAGO U—As far as the Boston Red Sox are concerned, Ted Williams could strike out every time he came to bat and still be the differenee between a ay team and just another ball club. “It's hard to explain,” said a Red }> Mem 8-0 5, Neanville 18 MONDAY'S SCHEDULE Sox authority during Boston’s four- | 58 game series with the White Scx in Chicago over the weekend. ‘But without him we're bums. When he’s in the lineup we kind of play up to him.” Williams, beset by injury and illness through most of the season, backed this ry against Chicago when he returned to the Red Sox starting lineup for the first time since June 5. : The Red Sox won both games he started—Saturday by a score of 3-1 and the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader 2-1. Williams got only one single in each game. His hit Saturday drove in one run and he later drew a walk and scored another. In his appearance Sunday, his sixth-inn- ing blow drove in the tying run. On Friday, he came to the plate in the ninth inning and bashed a pinch two-run homer in a 6-4 losing cause. But it was in Sunday’s second game—won 9-1 by the White Sox— that. Williams’ value to the Red Sox seemed to be most evident even though he didn’t play a sec- pletely apart, committing five er- rors and permitting four unearned Tuns to cross the plate. Manager Lou Boudreau rested Williams d that game, afraid the lanky might over- work himself. With Williams in the lineup the Red Sox won two straight games— the longest victory streak they’d been able to muster since he left. Williams’ absence through most of the month was due to a virus infection. Before quitting June 5, he'd played almost a week with a lung infection bordering on pneu- monia. He s able to get in only 22 games before June 5 because; he spent the first part of the season ond. The Red Sox defense fell com- Sakland Francisco nursing a collar bone broken in spring training.

HabStREEE BbsoSEE Outboard Race Set Saturday Marathon, Key West Outboard Clubs Sponsors By DAVID NASON , The Outboard boys around town will be burning the midnight oil from now until Saturday, July 3rd, when the yearly outhoard race from Key West to Marathon, a dis- tance of 42 miles, will get under- way at 2 p.m. The sponsors are the Marathon Yacht Club and the Key West Outboard Club. This race is becoming more popular each year due to the fact that. no specialized racing equip- | ment is allowed to participate. It is made up of just the ordinary type fishing and pleasure runabout hulls and motors. Anyone can en- ter. You do not have to be a mem- ber of any club. There are three established classes. Class “B” “D-1” and “F”. This covers most all motors from 10 horsepower up. There will be valuable prizes given in each Class, plus a chance to obtain the beautiful overall win- ner Trophy for at least one year. The overall winner Trophy was donated by the Marathon Yacht Club last year, but there is a catch in it. It takes three wins by any one driver to take permanent possession of the cup. Jimmy Hanson, overall winner of last year’s race, now has pos- session of the cup. He must re- peat again this time or relinquish the cup to his successor. In Sat- urday’s race Jimmy is competing in the “F” class and as time hai dicaps were established from last year’s races effective this time, it won't be easy for him to repeat. However, knowing Hanson as I do, it is not impossible. drives his boats with a do or die attitude and never gives up. It is expected there will be from 25 to 30 boats entered by Post Time. A number of boats from the Upper Keys will be down to make the long run back. Most of the Key West drivers and their annual Carnival Week and the little city will be bursting at the seams with activity. Dancing and stage shows are scheduled for Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon there will be closed course outboard races at the Marathon C of C Docks. This is where the boys with the hot Hydroplanes will come in, The drivers and families will be served dinner Sunday at the C of C Patio on the waterfront. The names of the drivers and their boats will be given later in the week as all are not in yet. Any outboarder caring to enter the Marathon, contact Raymond Maloney at the Key West Outboard Service, 1116 Eaton Street. The Marathon Yacht Club in- vites all to come up for a week end of entertainment and thrills.

He reached Anne Louise Ball, 18, and grabbed her by the arm, then swam with her in tow until he found the other, Barbara Wood, 15. He told Barbara to hold on to both of them, and the three began their way shoreward. About 40 feet from the bank Bar- bara said she could swim the rest of the way, and struck out alone, Vines reached: land with Anne Louise — and heard Barbara ery .|Out again as she was swept back .|into the swirling central current, .|He leapt back into the water and young girl was going under the third time when Vines got to Once more he began the long He leaped back into the water headed toward the sound of bara’s voice.
