Philly Meet Set On Fate Of Athletics PHILADELPHIA (#—Some 75 top leaders in Philadelphia meet with Mayor Joseph S. Clark Jr. today to plot the future of Ameri- ean League baseball in the city where the Philadelphia Athletics once were synonymous with cham- pionship teams. Meanwhile, interest among Phil- adelphia baseball fans stirred somewhat as the Athletics pre- . pared to open a 17-game home Stand. It was reported that advance ticket sales have picked up con- siderably over the past few days. “One of our games with Cleve- land has attracted such an advance that indications are we'll have as big a crowd as we did on opening dy,” a club spokesman said. A crowd of 16,331 turned out to see the A’s beat Boston 6-4 April 13. “Understand, it is rather late to build high hopes around advance sales,” the spokesman added, “But TI will say that if tickets had gone all season the way they have in the past few days, we would not be faced with such a problem ” Roy and Earle Mack have been quoted as telling Clark, in an ap- peal for help from the city, that unless the A’s can draw 400,000 fans in the club’s remaining home games, the franchise will be moved or sold. Clark last week announced to- day’s meeting for the purpose of discussing ways and means of i the A’s attendance, which has totaled around 135,000 paid so far. Clark said he plans to form a committee to be known as the “Mayor’s Committee to Keep the Athletics in Philadelphia.” It is understood that the Macks - told Clark that several cities, in- cluding Minneapolis, Dallas, Kan- sas City and Houston, were after the A’s franchise.

YORK — The All-Star Gantt ‘scheduled for Tuesday at contest from the first of its kind, whi¢ifgas played at Chicago back in 1988~in a spirit of high holiday fun and was won by the American Leagéérs 4-2. As it was gyiginally conceived, the midseason classic merely was to be the means of letting the na- tion’s baseball fans pick a couple | of “dream” teams by ballot and} then to permit the two star- spangled aggregations to appear upon the same field at the same time. At the outset, there was no sense of urgency about winning the game. The atmosphere was more that of an outsize clambake. That was, as we say, how it| started. Few baseball leaders had | any. notion that the game would become a fixture, much less that | Cleveland will be a far different | Roundup By Gayle Talbot Yankees in particular—quickly got the idea that it was more fun to win the game than to lose it, and took action accordingly. Joe loaded his lineups with the best he had and, if the circumstances warrant- ed, left them in there until they had whomped the Nationals. The Americans won the first three, and Lefty Gomez, the Yan- kee ace, started all of them. Again, from ’41 through °43, the junior league dominated the classic, and then, with a one-year break, ran off another four straight. By the time the Nationals finally caught on to what was happening to them and began their present surge of four in a row, they were trailing by 4-12 and felt sore all over, as thought they had been beaten with a belt buckle. It goes without saying that the Naionals have long since dropped all pretense of playing the game | within 20 years it would develop into a grim duel for prestige not | necessarily second to the World| Series in the desire of the two} leagues for victory. | It might have remained a big, happy outing but for the fact that | the American League — Manager Joe McCarthy and the New York | for the fans, as the Americans did | before them, and are out to win| it by any means within the rules. They would be happier, as would also the Americans, if a regulation adopted several years'ago did not | require each side to play the first three innings with the lineups vot- ed by the fans. 7 Gonzales Has New Respect For Olson OAKLAND, Calif. (®—Take it from a man who has fought both of them: ’ Giardello Blasts Kilgore In Philly PHILADELPHIA (®—Joey Giar- dello nursed a sore left side of his face today but to ease his pain the Philadelphia middleweight had al nice fat check and a victory that kept him in line for a title fight. The 23-year-old Giardello tuned up last night for an expected 160- pound title shot in October by lam- | basting Billy Kilgore of Miami. He won a unanimous 10-round ver- dict with the use of a sharp left hook and a potent overhand right. Kilgore, who earned this bout Middleweight champion Carl (Bo bo) Olson will beat Rocky Castel- leni when they meet for the title jin San Francisco Aug. 20. Pedro Gonzales, 21-year-old Ne- gro boxer from Rankin, Pa., ex- pressed the opinion last night after he had been knocked out in four 10 round nortiile bout Gonzales previously lost a close, split decision to Castellani in Rocky’s home, Cleveland. A jolting right uppercut put Gon- zales on his back last night, and | although he was on his feet when | Referee Max Baer counted 10, he |was a beaten fighter. Gonzales said the punch hit him on the Adam’s apple, but ring- siders saw it continue to land on his jaw. The knockdown came: in 2:57 of the fourth. Olson weighed 167, Gonzales, 163. Gonzales had never been counted out before in 26 fights and had lost only four. “Olson is a much better fighter,” he said. “He punches sharper and rounds by Olson in their scheduled | with the nation’s third-ranking mid- |dleweight through a series of up- |set wins, was out of his class. If it hadn’t been for an unintentional | {butt that opened a severe cut |about an inch under Giardello’ | left eye on the cheek, there would- | jn’t have been any contest. Giardello was fighting two bat-| tles, protecting the badly damaged cheek and trying to pile up enough points to win the verdict. From the second round on, he had to be {mindful of the blood flowing down jhis cheek. The ringside physician examined it before the third round started. But cut and all. Giardello proceeded ta pound the 28-year-old Birmingham, Ala., native into- sub- | mission. Kilgore weighed 162, Giardello, 1 158. | more often, but I think Castellani punches harder.” Gonzales took a beating, al- though he said Olson’s punches did not hurt him. He stood up under a barrage of hard blows, but Olson’s | body attack with occasional punch- es to the head appeared to wear him down, Baseball Results NATIONAL LEAGUE ‘Won Lost Pet.

Giants Win Fifth Straight Over Brooks For Record Edge Yanks Trounce Red Sox; Chisox Major League Down Tigers By JOE REICHLER AP Sports Writer The New York Giants, rolling! 4j' along at a phenomenal .861 pace since June 3, hold the biggest lead any Giant team has enjoyed past the midseason miark in 18 years. Not since Sept. 25, 1936, when the Giants led the Chicago Cubs| .: by seven games, has a Giant club led by more than the current 5%4- game margin over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The 1936 Giants went on to win the pennant by five games. Since then they have won two pennants— in 1937 and in 1951. Their biggest margin in 1937 was 4% games. In 1951, they didn’t grab exclusive possession of first place until after the first postseason playoff game with the Dodgers. Last night the Giants not only captured their 31st victory in the |’ last 37 games but made it fife in a row over Brooklyn with a re- sounding 10-2 triumph. They wal- loped four home runs, scored four runs in each of the first and fifth innings and whipped Don New- combe for the first time at Ebbets Field since the big Negro right- hander joined the Dodgers in 1949. To rub it in, Jim Hearn, the Giants’ right-hander, went the route only for the second time this season and registered his first. Eb- bets .Field triumph since July 3, 1952. Willie Mays, Monte Irvin, Wes Westrum and Alvin Dark smacked the homers. Gil Hodges got one for the Dodgers. It was No. 28 for Mays, tops in both leagues.

Milwaukee’s Braves nipped the Chicago Cubs 1-0 as Chet Nichols outhurled Howie Pollet in a south- Danny O’Connell’s seventh-inning single followed by Jim Pendleton’s double accounted for the lone run. 6 Peanuts Lowrey’s pinch single with the bases loaded and two out in the 11th gave the St. Louis Car- dinals their second straight victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs, 5-4. Rain washed out the scheduled twi- night double-header between Pitts- burgh and the Phillies in Philadel- phia. Washington and the Philadel- Phia Athletics were not scheduled. The Yankees enjoyed their most Productive day of the season,| Pounding four Boston pitchers for 17 hits in a game that was halted in the eighth inning by rain. Yogi Berra drove in five runs with a triple and homer and Irv Noren took over the American League batting lead with four hits in five times at bat. . The Indians combined three hits, a sacrifice fly and four walks by Bob Turley to score all their runs in the second inning as Mike Gar- cia registered his 11th triumph. Bobby Avila’s two-run double was | the key blow. The White Sox smashed 16 hits, including a home run by Kon Jack- son, the 6-foot-7 20-year-old bonus first baseman.
