Podres Gets 12th Win As LA Tops Philly

Philadelphia — (AP) — Homers by Gil Hodges and Duke Snider led the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over Philadelphia last night and gave Southpaw Johnny Podres his 12th victory.

It was the Phillies' sixth con-and a setback for

secutive los righthander absorbed hi 11 victories, ord at this he won back-of-the-year

That left "the Dodgers 3% games behind San Francisco's National League Giants, who whipped Pitts­burgh 12-5.

Snider's first-inning homer, his 21st, brought in "Wally Moon, who had doubled for the first of his three hits. Moon sin­gled in the third and scored on Norm Larker's single. Then he doubled in the fifth, but was stranded.

Hodges led off the fourth with his 21st home run of the season.

Chicago-Cincinnati The Cubs moved into a fifth

place tie with Cincinnati with a free-swinging 8-6 victory over the Reds.

An assortment of eight pitch­ers saw action and Irv Noren and Cal Neeman of the Cubs and Jim Pendleton and Jerry Lynch of the Reds hit home runs.

Bob Purkey, who always seems to have trouble with the Cubs, was knocked out of the

• box in the fourth inning when the Cubs, went ahead with four runs, and wras charged with the loss. Reliever Bill Henry, reg­ularly a Cincinnati nemesis, got credit for the victory.

Noren's single and Neeman's home run g.ot the cubs started in their big fourth. Henry and Tony Taylor singled and George Altaian doubled for an­other run. The fourth run came across on a wild pitch by Wil-lard Schmidt, who had relieved Purkey after Henry's single.

Giants-Pirates The league-leading Giants

hammered Pittsburgh pitch­ers for 15 hits and trounced the Pirates, 12-5. Giant south­

paw John Antonelli went all the way, gave up 10 hits and socked a two-run homer. The victory enabled the Gi­

ants to hold their 3% game lead over the second-place Los An­geles Dodgers who trimmed Philadelphia 5-2.

Antonelli fanned six and walked none in picking up his 18th victory of the year com­pared to seven losses.

Antonelli's homer, his sec­ond this season, y/as a long blow into the upper deck of the right field stands in the eighth inning.

Daryl Spencer socked his 10th homer of the year for the Giants off the scoreboard clock in left field with the fourth. It came with nobody on base.

Spencer also doubled, and Willie Mays chipped in with a pair of doubles for the Giants.

Antonelli gave up two Pirate runs in the fourth inning when Roberto Clemente doub­led and Dick Stuart followed with a home run over the left-field scoreboard. It was Stuart's 20th round-tripper of the year.

The Pirates got two more off Antonelli in the eighth on Bob Skinner's infield single, Dick Groat's double, Clemente's single and Stuprt's hard-hit grounder to third.

Braves-Cardinals Ray Boone, an American

League castoff, saved Milwau­kee with a two-out, game-tying pinch single in the ninth, then veteran Joe Adcock singled home the winning run in the 10th in the Braves 3-1 victory over the Cardinals.

Bob Gibson, the Cardinals rookie fireballer, held a 1-0 lead in the ninth" in a duel with War­ren Snahn.

Eddie Mathews led off the 10th with his third hit, a dou­ble, and Adcock grounded a single to left, knocking out Gib­son. Felix Mantilla's pop single off Lindy McDaniel added an insurance run.

Don McMahon, now 4-1, was the Braves winner in relief. He was in trouble in the ninth aft­er Ken Boyer's booming triple but got pinch hitters George Crowe and Stan Musial to end the inning.

Oscar's, Murray's Win Games

Resounding victories on the diamond seemed to be the fad last night in the Men's City Softball league. Oscar's swamp­ed Farrand's Flowers 12-1 at the Gilbert Street diamond and Murray's Hotel walked over Dick's Market 17-3 at the State Hospital diamond.

Free, Richer and MacGregor shared Oscar's mound and walk­ed two, struck out two and al­lowed three hits and one run. Chuck Carter was charged with the loss for Farrand's with three walks, no strikeouts and the al­lowance of 11 hits and 12 runs.

The Oscar nine executed a brilliant triple play in the fourth inning when they grab­bed three men on the move be­tween bases.

MacGregor, Joanette and Dan­iels turned in fine performances at the plate for Oscar's. Mac­Gregor, for four trips to the plate had two hits, a single and a double, and he scored three runs. Joanette, on four trips to the plate had two hits and two walks and he scored two runs. Daniels on four trips to the plate hit two doubles and a triple and scored three runs.

Tonight Oscar's meets Dick's Market in a playoff opener at the Gilbert Street diamond.

Hurling for the winner of the Dick's Market and Murray's Ho­tel contest was Earl Carter who walked five, struck out no one and allowed five hits and three run's.

Kreg Mays took the loss with seven walks, no strikeouts and the allowance 17 hits and 17 runs.

Amo turned in an excellent performance at the plate last night, slugging three hits for four trips to the plate and scor­ing a run on each of these hits. Wells scored three runs also but he had only two hits. His other run was scored on a walk.

Murray's Hotel will clash with L & R Hardware tonight at the State Hospital in the other play­off opener scheduled tonight.

By Murray Qlderman NEA Staff Correspondent

Los Angeles — (NEA) — It used to be when Howard Jones mustered out his horde of Tro­jans on Bovard Field in the shadow of the Los Angeles Coli­seum, there were 125 strong, bronzed, muscular, victory-fed and nationally respected play­ers.

When Don Clark calls the roll to start practice, Sept. 1, at Southern California, he'll be lucky to have 50 straggly char­acters. And SC has won just five games in two years.

Clark is a young man (35) with troubles. Sitting on the umbrellaed patio of the Student Union Building, sipping iced tea, he told them all.

"Oregon State," he said, "has a recruiter who comes down here so often he doesn't even bother with hotels. He's rented his own apartment.

"Tommy Prothro (Oregon State coach) can come down are the only ones that have rules above the NCAA. We're lucky now to be able to suit up here for two weeks and also stay in San Francisco for two weeks. Think I've got the mon­ey to do things like that?" I

It comes out, probing Clark! further, that breaking up the old Pacific Coast Conference and forming a new Western group, to the exclusion of Ore­gon State, Oregon and Wash­ington State, has been a boon to the northwest schools. They've got no one to tie a halter on their football pro­grams.

"And we," muttered Clark, "have so many rules you need a lawyer. Our new Western As­sociation and the Ivy League four teams.

Compounding his problem is the provoking competition of the professionals. The Trojans

have the Rams sharing their backyard Coliseum. UCLA uses it, too.

"The Rams," said Clark, "get the bar crowd — the tight sweaters and slacks. UCLA games draw the Bermuda shorts bunch. We have the shirts and ties." '

This is, of course, open-necked country and the Trojans have been feeling the pinch at the gate. The Rams, particularly, have caught on institutionally.

"Pro games," insisted Clark, "have lots of dull moments but they glamorize their product. They promote it as the greatest. That's what we've got to do.

"But how could we look spec­tacular last year when we didn't have a back who could run the 100 faster than 10.8?

"And then there are the rules. Those guys like Bud Wilkinson sit in Norman, Okla., and don't realize what's going on. There's no earthly reason for not hav­ing the goal posts on the goal line."

Even the timing is against Clark.

"This year's squad playing last year's schedule," he said, "would get us in the Rose Bowl. But we've added Pittsburgh and Ohio State. Tt's not like when I was playing (Don's ca­reer dates back to 1942.) We had only three tough games a year —California, Stanford and Notre Dame — and fattened up on the northern schools in be­tween. That was how the tough Trojan dynasty was built."

You know how coaches are bugs about drawing circles and crosses and figuring out myriad variations. Don is even blanked there. He's got a quarterback whose repertoire must-be kept simple.

"That means," said Clark,

OFAGridders Will Start Practice Tuesday Morning

By Frank Dobisky The OFA 1959 Football squad j

will begin practice next Tues­day in preparation for their opening league contest against Canton on September 26. Coach William Plimpton said today that all candidates for the '59 squad should report to OFA at 9 a.m. this Saturday to pick up their equipment.

Plimpton will not have sever­al of his key men on the line this year because of graduation or moving away. Backfield hustlers Dick "Chico" Spooner and Jude Lesperance will no longer handle the Blue Devil pigskin as they graduated last June. Spooner is going to Clem-son and he will be playing col­legiate ball this season.

Plimptoin's heavyset center, Jerry Roicker, has moved to Florida. Rocker's shadow, Joe Tracy, graduated in June, also, and he is headed for Manlius Military Academy in Syracuse.

A promising young sophomore who saw little action last year, John Kelly, moved back to New Jersey and this left another hole in the line.

But what Plimpton does have to look forward to returning offsets his losses. He has nine lettermeni returning. Quarter-

"we'll go with only four plays a game."

Don Clark won't even have the luxurious excuse of the kids not being able to absorb the system.

back Steve Munn, who led the Blue Devils all the way last season, is back for his last round on the OFA gridiron.

In the front line Plimpton has two hefty Mikes — Mike Delduchetto and Mike La-Combe. These two men turned in a fine job last year and Plimpton is looking forward to their return this year.

Also on the returnee list is Ted Ebberts, Blue Devil clutch player who made several spec­tacular touchdowns last season that more than once saved the game.

To replace the fleet feet of Lesperance and Spooner in the backfield Plimpton will have speedy Dean Hebert and Chic LaRose, who both turned in a fine season for the Alma Mater last year.

Helping to fill the large gap in the front line will be veteran letterman Ray Powell, a driving defenseman who was a definite asset to the Blue Devil line last year.

Undoubtedly Plimpton will employ several of last year's Junior Varsity squad to round out a team that will have cham­pionship qualities.

The Blue Devil squad will meet the Watertown High School team on Saturday, Sep­tember 12 and from that scrim­mage Blue Devil Coach Plimp­ton will know who to start in the opening game with the Can­ton Golden Bears.

By Harry Grayson Forest Hills, N. Y. — (NEA)

— Australia has 500,000 tennis players. The United States has one from Peru, which is why the Davis Cup is expected to remain in this country for an­other year after the Challenge Round at Forest Hills, Aug! 28-29-30.

The U. S. needed someone to bring back the Davis Cup from Down Under, so Perry T. Jones, the newly-appointed 70-year-old captain, went to the Indians, bringing Alex Olmedo, a water­ed-down Inca, into the interna­tional competition. Jones, a take-charge guy, pointed out that the 22-year-old Olmedo was a southern California prod­uct and met the requirements inasmuch as he had lived in this country for three years. Anyway, the one-eighth Injun provided the answer in the South American way.

Inasmuch as Olmedo beat Australia's first team—Ashley Cooper and Mai Anderson and the latter teamed with Neale Fraser in the doubles—last De­cember, there is no logical rea­son why the crewcut from Are-quipa can't handle the second squad on the famous center court of the West Side Tennis Club.

* * • Australia will send the left­

handers, Rodney Laver and Neale Fraser, against Olmedo and Barry MacKay in the singles. Fraser and Roy Emer­son will oppose Olmedo and 18-year-old Earl Buchholz in the doubles.

Olmedo figures to win two singles matches, MacKay should grab another and our side can't be dismissed too lightly in the doubles.

Harry Hopman keeps profess­

ing to toss off the defections to the orofessionals and up to last winter, or before Olmedo, the pa.-ennial Australian captain managed to do considerably bet­ter than all /right. But despite Hopman's warbling about Aus­tralia having plenty of players to choose from and this year's team being maybe better than the one of last December, close observers can't see it winning.

Fraser is the only Aussie with previous experience in the Challenge Round. As Gardnar Mulloy remarked, Olmedo made Laver look like a kid in a sand-lot game, smacking the skinny, freckled, red-headed 21-year-old in the Wimbledon final, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.

* * * Olmedo has established him­

self as the world's foremost am­ateur. The Chief has seemed to be on the lazy side and acquired a reputation of being an in-and-outer, but when he has the urge the picturesque Peruvian can make his big American game about as formidable as it needs to be.

There is no lack of incentive, for Olmedo is almost a sure pop to accept a $100,000 offer from Jack Kramer after the U. S. Singles, Sept. 4-13.

Olmedo has a terrific service and every shot with «no ap­parent weakness. He moves around like a bronzed cat. He has an uncanny sense of antici­pation, reflexes as quick as a wink and power and stamina.

Trained observers are of the opinion that Promoter Kramer was only plugging the profes­sionals when he said Alejandro R. Olmedo couldn't beat any of the top eight money men.

Mighty strange talk from a bloke who just offered him $100,000 to join his troupe.

Chicago —(AP)— Billy Good­man's run-scoring double with two out in the tenth inning gave the league-leading White Sox an uphill 5-4 victory over Boston last night.

The battling White Sox had to come from behind with two runs in the ninth inning to tie the game and ultimately gain a victory which preserved their two-game- lead over the Indians who defeated New York, 6-3.

With one out in the tenth, Jim Landis singled but was out at second on an attempted steal. Sherm Lollar then drew a walk and Goodman drove his double into the right cehterfield cor­ner.

It was the 30th one-run vic­tory for the Sox who now have won 11 extra inning games against two such defeats.

Turk Lown, third Chicago pitcher, gained his ninth vic­tory in 11 decisions. Reliever Mike Fornieles suffered his third loss against three tri­umphs.

Boston appeared to have the game wrapped up going into the last of the ninth. The Red Sox were ahead 4-2 and Frank Sullivan had a four-hitter go­ing without permitting a safety since the fourth inning.

With one out, Al Smith's bounder took a bad hop over the shortstop's head for a sing­le. Norm Cash, who earlier had hit his third homer of the sea­son, followed with a single.

Fornieles came in for Sul­livan and Jim Rivera greeted him with a single to make it 4-3. Pinch batter Johnny Ro­mano then singled to tie the game and sent it into extra in­nings.

Athletics-Orioles The Athletics rallied behind

the fine relief pitching of John Tsitouris and Tom Sturdivant and beat the Orioles 6-5.

The A's knocked out starter Billy O'Dell in the sixth inning and continued their attack against Hec Brown to score three times. Then they wrapped it up with two more runs off Billy Loes in the seventh.

The Orioles took a 5-1 lead off Ray Herbert with a two-run outburst in the first, an­other pair in the third on home runs by Bob Boyd and Bob Nieman, and knicked Tsitouris for another tally in the fifth.

Detroit-Washington Chuck Stobbs snuffed out a

ninth-inning Detroit threat and saved a brilliant pitching job by Pedro Ramos in Washington's 3-1 triumph before 18,863 fans who saw the final night game of the season at Briggs Stadium.

Al Kaline hit Ramos' first pitch in the ninth inning for a single and Charlie Maxwell

ripped a foul right field line.

ball down the

Manager Cookie Lavagetto brought in Stobbs and the veteran southpaw retired Max­well on a lazy fly to right field. He then got Frank Boiling on a pop fly and ended the game by retiring Pinch Batter Gus Zer-nia] on a routine fly to center field.

Ramos, who allowed six hits, picked up his 12th victory against 15 defeats. Lou Ber« beret's 11th home run, coming in the fifth inning, ruined his shutout.

Paul Foytack started for the fourth time in 10 days for th« Tigers and took his 11th set­back. He allowed all of Wash­ington's runs over the first seven innings.

Cleveland-New York Rocky Colavito hit a pair of

home runs to lead his homer-happy Cleveland teammates to their seventh straight victory, a 6-3 decision over the Yankees before 36,143 fans.

The Yanks took a 1-0 lead in. the first inning off Cal McLish. (16-6), but the Indians re ­bounded with four in their half of the inning. Vic Power tied the score with a smash over the left field fence, Two walks fol­lowed and Colavito then drove a Whitey Ford pitch into the same sector for a 4-1 Cleveland lead.

Cleveland added two more in the fifth inning when Yogi Berra, playing right field,, opened the door by dropping Power's drive for a two-basa error. Minnie Minoso sacrificed Power to third, from where ha scored on Tito Francona's fly ball to center field.

Colavito, hitless in 10 trips going into the game and l-for~ 17 in the last five games, then, hit his 37th home run to ti« Harmon Killebrew of Washing­ton for the major league lead in that department.

Cleveland had only six hits.

Basilio scheduled more box­ing as he worked to sharpen his attack.

Basilio meanwhile used Leo Owens for three rounds of shooting hooks and right leads to the head.

Among the boxing bystanders, there appeared to be a diver­gence of opinion.

Former lightweight champion Lew Jenkins observed, "Basilio's the sharper puncher of the two. I look for them to stop the fight with Basilio winning."

Ex-lightweight contender Joe Benjamin was asked to pick the winner and quickly repiled, "I can't. They're both rugged, tough, strong, durable and what have you. Maybe Basilio's a sharper hitter, but this Fullmer does some pretty fair banging around the head and in the body, too."

Former middleweight cham­pion Ken Overlin watched Ba­silio and commented. "This is one rough kid. Anybody who goes 15 rounds with him will know it. But it won't go the 15. It can't . . . not with the way these two guys set a pace. Both are tear-in fighters and the later rounds will decide it."

Overlin also didn't try to pick the winner.

The two fight for the NBA version of the middleweight title that was taken from Ray Robinson for failure to defend in the allotted time. But the New York State Commission still recognizes Sugar Ray champ.
