The speed and spray boys say they are all ready to go. There should be quite a bit of mixing it up as the sea- son is heading down the home stretch and those yearly high point trophies are not to far away. No driver in any class has a mono- poly on points at this time. The firing of the Outboard Club cannon for the first race will also mean the start of the March of Dimes Emergency Drive in Key West. Both the “B” Hydro and the “B” Runabout classes have a good field of boats and should produce plenty of thrills and maybe spills. Racing chairman, Jimmy Wells, has the entries listed to date as follows: “B” Runabouts: Joe Alonzo, Ge- ne Skaggs, David Nason, Jerry Schnaedelbach, Waldo Collins, John McKillip, Charles Moody, Ce- cil Cates, Jr., and Jack Bokshaw. “B” Hydroplanes: Jimmy Han- son, Bascom Grooms, Jack Know- les, David Nason, Jerry Schnae- delbach, Cecil Cates, Jr., and Ray Miller. “D” 1 Runabouts: Bill Porter, Ralph Beaver, Ben Schoneck, Ray- mond Maloney and Cecil Alayon.

Johnny Temple, Cincinnati Red- Milwaukee Moves To Within 5) Dodgers Whip Giants, Feller Wins 259th Tilt By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sportswriter Milwaukee’s wild dash for the Pennant has stolen much of the thunder from the current battle for first place between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers. By now the Braves have con- vinced the two top clubs that they are serious about this pennant bus- iness and the current three-game series in Brooklyn between the Giants and Dodgers finds both clubs looking over their shoulders for the onrushing Redskins. They don’t have far to look since the Braves closed to within 5% games of the top last night with a 5-2 triumph over Chicago after the Dodgers had whipped the Giants 3-2. Milwaukee came back from a sensational road trip and staged a dramatic homecoming for an en- thusiastic gathering of 42,820 well- wishers. Trailing through seven in- nings, they tied the score at 2-2 in the eighth, then triumphed on Del Crandall’s three-run homer with one out in the ninth. The victory was the 18th in 20 games for the Braves who have made up 10 games on the front- running Giants in a month. Six weeks remain in the season. The Brooklyn contest was a spine-tingler too, decided on a two- run homer by Carl Furillo in the seventh inning. Sal Maglie and Carl Erskine allowed a hit apiece through the first five innings. Brooklyn broke into the scoring column first, getting one run on a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly in the sixth, The Giants came back with two in the seventh on doubles by Don Mueller and Monte Irvin sand- wiched around a single by Willie Mays. With a one run lead Man- ager Leo Durocher sent up a pinch hitter for the tiring Maglie and sent his No. 1 relief ace, Marv Grissom to the hill in the eighth. Gil Hodges greeted him with a sin- gle. Furillo followed with the game-winning homer. Cleveland held its 24% game edge over the New York Yankees with a 9-4 verdict over Baltimore. New York whipped Boston 8-2. Chicago shaded Detroit 1-0 in a brilliant 16-inning pitching duel between Jack Harshman and Al Aber. Phil- adelphia edged Washington 3-2. In other National League action Pittsburgh thumped Philadelphia twice, 9-5 and 5-0 and St. Louis overpowered Cincinnati 10-8, scor- ing six runs in the last two innings. Aber and Harshman went all the way in the Chicago marathon, each allowing nine hits. Harshman struck out 12 and gained the vic- tory when Minnie Minoso tripled with Nellie Fox on first in the 16th. Bob Feller tamed the Orioles for his 259th lifetime victory. A five run first inning kayoed Bullet Bob Turley, a youngster whose fire ball is supposed to blaze like Feller’s did 15 years ago. Enos Slaughter belted a bases- loaded triple as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning for New York and Whitey Ford coasted the rest of the way for the Yanks’ fifth straight victory. Slaughter’s blast came with the score tied 2-2. Phil Rizzuto added a two-run homer. Tom Finigan collected three hits, stole home with the winning run and disabled the starting Washing- ton pitcher as the Athletics broke an eight-game losing streak. A drive by Finigan hit Dean Stone By JERRY LISKA CHICAGO — Two-platoon or one-platoon, the College All-Stars are helpless prey of the roaring Detroit Lions, two-time champions of the National Football League. j_ It was indeed an unlucky Friday the 13th for the collegians before 93,470 at mammoth Soldier Field jlast night as they took a 31-6 claw- ing from the ruthless Lions. The efficient pros from the Motor City had been forced to play the limited substitution rule and junk their two-platoon system just for this nationally-televised contest. Last year, with free substitution prevailing, the Lions whipped the All-Stars, 24-10. With their stellar passing quar- terback, Bobby Layne, riding the bench all the way, the Lions pounced on the inept collegians for 17 points in the first quarter and then won as they pleased. No. 2 Lion quarterback Tom Dublinski, directing only 24 other pros uséf by Detroit Coach Buddy Parker, ¢alied his shots with deft skill and had the backing of a bristling .defense that hamstrung the assed All-Stars. When the All-Stars scored their only down in the third period —on ive-yard end run by Notre Dame’s Johnny Lattner—it was only because a Lion fumble on Detroit’s five-yard line offered the opportunity. In contrast with long, quick aeri- al scoring strikes which typify pro play, the Lions crunched the All- Stars with a smashing ground at- tack, three touchdowns coming on short plunges. The Lions’ 14 first downs by rushing broke the game’s pro record of 12 by the Chicago Bears in 1942. After a fumble. by. Lattner set up a 36-yard field goal by another ex-Notre Dame star, Jim Martin, to start the Lion scorifg, Doak Walker crashed five yards to a touchdown and Lew Carpenter bolted two yards for another to give Detroit its 17-0 first period |lead. Lattner’s touchdown shaving the Lion lead to 17-6 only prompted another slashing pro drive, cover- ing 67 yards and ending with Car- penter’s second touchdown, a one- yard blast, also in the third period. The final Lion score in the fourth quarter brought further humilja- tion to All-Star Coach Jim Tatum of Maryland as end Jim Doran on the wrist and the pitcher had to leave the game in the fourth. Robin Roberts, a shutout winner in his last three outings against Pittsburgh, failed to survive the fifth inning last night. Sid Gordon and Preston Ward blasted him for three-run homers. Rookie Vern Thies pitched a winning three-hit- ter in the second game. Cincinnati hit four homers but lost out to the Cardinals as Wally Moon drove in the winning runs with a sinking liner in the ninth. Manager Birdie Tebbetts was tossed out for arguing that the ball was caught. Wally Post hit two homers for the Reds.

Tatum used 48 of his. All-Stars, but the theory of fresh players taking the steam out of the Lions under the one-platoon system just didn’t work. Heralded quarterback Zeke Brat- owski of Georgia, prope:ty of the Chicago Bears, threw 14 passes and completed eight. The All-Star running attack was paced by lightly-touted Veryl Switzer of Kan- sas State, who carried six times for 34 yards. Switzer’s 27-yard run from deep in his own territory in the second quarter provided the only collegiate offensive thrill. On defense, end Carlton Massey of Texas was the outstanding All-Star. The All-Stars in their. dressing room thought the outcome might have been different if Lattner had not fumbled on the game's opening scrimmage play. However Lion Coach Parker probably sized up the whole game correctly with the comment: “The All-Star coaches got all they could out of those boys, but it just wasn’t enough. They just weren’t a good team. They were dead.” Parker also said the one-platoon system hurt the All-Stars more than it did the Lions. It certainly seemed that way, withythe All- Stars outrushed, 250 y: . to 62, and outpassed 111 yards to 82. The game which marked. the fourth straight pro triumph and 13th victory against six defeats and two ties brought gross receipts of $445,650, including TV and radio fees. The game’s most serious casual- ty was halfback Chet Hanulak of Maryland, property of the Cleve- land Browns, who suffered a frac- tured left arm early in the fray.
