L. 2 HI 14th Straight FIL Contest By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The St. Petersburg Saints won their 14th straight Florida Inter- national League game last night 3-2 over West Palm Beach, and the Tallahassee Rebels slaughtered the Miami Flamingos 17-1 in the most lop-sided score of the seasou. Miami rallied to beat Tallahas- see in the first game of a twin bill 54 and thereby remained in second place in the standings. Bobo Holloman, who pitched a no-hit game for the St. Louis Browns in 1953, won his second straight for the Saints, allowing only six hits. He fanned four of the last six batters before 783 St. Petersburg fans. Two singles, a sacrifice, a walk, an infield out and a fielder’s choice gave the Saints two runs in the bottom of the ninth and saved the game, for Holloman. Jose Lopez walked the first three men and Cliff Patrick hit a home Tun to score all Tallahassee’s runs in the first inning. Miami came back to wipe out the lead with homers by Frank Smith, Jesse Levan and Wally Widholm. Lopez allowed five hits to win the first game.

Her chief threat Mrs. Zaharias appeared to come from defending champion Betsy Rawls of Spar- tansburg, S. C., a veteran come- from-behind finisher. Betsy com- pleted her second round with a strong 73 over the testing 6,939 yard layout for a 150. Mrs. Zaharias’ advantage ap- peared prohibitive but by her own admission: “I’m not the babe of old.” Only 15 months ago she was stricken by cancer. Still, Mrs. Zaharias has shown no signs of weakening and has cracked par for the 36 holes where no one else has come close. Claire Doran, the Cleveland Ju- nior High School history teacher, dropped to 151 after shooting a i9 yesterday. She had been tied with Mrs, Zaharias for the lead with a 72 Thursday. But she still was the leading amateur, sharing third spot with pro Betty Hicks of Dur- ham, N. C. Another amateur, Pat Lesser, a Wash., came home with a 73 for a 152, Mary (Mickey) Wright, the 19-| st. Pi year old Stanford sophomore from LaJolla, Calif. carded 153. Tied with her were national amateur champion Mary Lena Faulk of Thomasville, Ga. and Louise Suggs. Patty Berg and Betty Dodd had 154s. Haas, Mayer Lead Motor City Open By JOE FALLS DETROIT — Fred Haas of New Orleans and Dick Mayer of St. Petersburg, Fla., each cured an ailment, shot sub-par golf and led a field of 72 players into to- day’s third round of the Motor City Open. Haas carded a four under par 67 in yesterday’s second round for a 7147—138 total. Mayer followed with.a five-under par 66—the best round of the tour- nament—and posted a 72-66—138. Their shot-making over the par 71 Meadowbrook Country Club course gave them a_ two-stroke lead over two tested professionals —Cary Middlecoff of Memphis, Tenn., and Bob Toski of Living- ston, N. J.—and a comparative un- known, Bill Markham of Royal Oak, Mich. Each shot 140, two under par. The first day leader, Dave Douglas of Grossinger, N. Y., scrambled at the start and slipped to a 73 after his opening 68. His yl bracketed him in sixth place with five others—Gene Littler, Palm Springs, Calif.; Johnny Pal- mer, Charlotte, N. C.; Tommy Bolt, Houston, Tex.; George Fazio, Pine Valley, N. J.; and Ted Rhodes, Chicago. Baseball Resulis NATIONAL Won Lost Pet.

Russians Vie For Coveted Rowing Trophy By ALVIN STEINKOPF HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England (®#—The Russians, who came with- in an eyelash of beating Navy for the Olympic title, sent the heaviest crew in rowing onto the Thames River today after the most prized trophy for eight-oared boats—the grand challenge cup of the Royal Henley Regatta. The Russians are an unorthodox lot, but in this second appearance in international rowing competition they figure to have a# least an even chance agains the Leander Club of Great Britain. The difference between Russian rowing and the more common Western style is that the Russian oarsmen jerk and wobble while their boats run fast and smoothly. The Western style presents a much smoother stroking action but the boats jerk through the water when going at top speed. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology eight, the only remain- ing American crew in the regatta, reached the Thames challenge cup semifinals by defeating the London Rowing Club “B? crew by one length yesterday. j In today’s semifinal M.I.T. oars- men face the Thames Rowing Club “B” shell in the morning.

Coleman Hailed For All-Stars BALTIMORE (® — If Manager Casey Stengel can see as far down as seventh place he might’ take a look at Joe Coleman of the Balti- more Orioles for one of his pitch- ing choices in the All-Star game. Coleman, who was on the Ameri- can League All Stars back in 1948, wiped out any doubts, if there were any, last night that he’s ready again. He beat the Detroit Tigers, 2-0, White Sox Drop Two To Indians By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer Bobby Feller may yet get an- other chance to win a world series game, one of the few triumphs that has eluded him during his brilliant pitching career. At the ripe old age of 35 the Cleveland righthander who came off an Iowa, farm 19 summers ago with just about the fastest ball the majors ever saw is proving a vital factor in the Indians’ pennant bid. He doesn’t work often any more and when he does he has to rely on craft and wile instead of blaz- ing speed. But he continues to be successful and might very well get the call in a long series. Cleve- land has been in only one World Series since Feller joined the club. He lost twice in 1948 to the old Boston Braves. Last night he turned in his fifth victory of the season, checking the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on four hits in the opener of a twilight night doubleheader. The Indians grabbed the nightcap, too, by a 5-4 mar- gin and dumped the challenging Chicagoans into third place. “I might have gotten a pasting except for a couple of good breaks,” Feller admitted after the game. “I didn’t have much of any- thing except pretty fair control.” Two of the hits against him were homers by Chico Carrasquel, the first batter he faced, and by Min- aan Minogo leading off in the But Feller got some vital help from Larry Doby who contributed a 400 foot home run to tie the score in the sixth inning and then ingled home the second run in the eighth. Doby was the big gun in second game as well. His mer of the season came score tied and two men fifth. ‘ork Yankees crept in into second place al- Split their 13 consecu- ¢ ene After beating 11 innings they fookie Dean Stone seventh against a .

The Key West Citizen Is A FAMILY Newspaper yanked dur- Pittsburgh rally in Links Seen In Child Support Payment F. ights HOLLYWOOD (# (®— There were some peculiar links in Domestic Relations courts yesterday as three actresses appeared seeking child support payments. Appearing were Joanne Dru, Nora Eddington and Franchesa de Seaffa. There was nothing in com- mon about the three cases—except that all wanted money—but the links were there. Miss Dru, now the wife of actor John Ireland, demanded her for- mer husband, crooner Dick Haymes, make up $4,800 in back Payments for support of their three children. A bench warrant was is- sued for the singer’s arrest. He was reported waiting with wife No. 4, Rita Hayworth, at Lake Tahoe for a decision in his current deportation case. Miss Eddington asked that actor Errol Flynn pay $6,000 she says are due as back payments for sup- port of their three children. The case was continued until Nov. 19 when Flynn’s attorney, Jerry Gies- ler, said the actor intends to pay but is having trouble getting money out of Italy where he presently is located. After divorcing Flynn, Miss Ed- dington succeeded Miss Dru and became the third Mrs. Haymes. She also divorced the crooner. Miss De Scaffa, separated from actor Bruce Cabot, was awarded $450 monthly for the support of their 20-month-old daughter, Al- phonsine, plus $1,500 for medical expenses for the child. She complained she had to bor- Tow monev from friends to meet her bills. One who lent her $1,000 she said, was Flynn. POWER DAM BREAKS PORTO ALEGRE, Brazil w — A power dam at.

Dusty Rhodes, who won two of the three games against Brooklyn with pinch hit singles, delivered another single, again as a pinch hitter, to start the Giants’ Pete Wojey, just up from Mo- bile, started for Brooklyn and last- ed until the fifth in Philadelphia. The big blow for the Phillies, how- ever, was a three run homer by Del Ennis off Clem Labine in the eighth. Home runs produced the Mil- waukee victories. Eddie Mathews hit two in the first game when Henry Aaron and Joe Adcock got one apiece. In the second game Del Crandall’s fifth inning homer off Fred Baczewski provided the winning margin. Baczewski gave up only two other hits. Winner Gene Conley limited the Redlegs to four. Vie Raschi, who had a 6-4 rec- ord with the New York Yankees on this date a year ago, now has a 64 record with St. Louis. His loss to the Cubs yesterday was his fourth. Home runs by Randy Jackson and Dee Fondy helped lead to the defeat.
