So eager were the Kay Woolens and Salem Used Car clubs to get the season going Friday night, so eager that they played the opener through almost a continual downpour. Made the diamond PRIMO CARNERA Wasn't Aware of 'Fixes expenses and the payroll, if more help is required, Yawkey simply pulls out the well-worn and inextiaustible check book ... Of course, Portland's Beavers have a moneyed owner themselves in person of George Norgan. But Norgan seems to have had his mind on other things (such as taxes) in recent months. If the Portland club's pro prietor is as well off as reported, why in the dickens are the Bevos so terrible hard up ia talent? . . . Hank Sauer, currently in a neck-and-neck race with Stan Musial for major league homer hitting honors, has a habit of bombing the pitchers with-a vengeance in the early season, then tailing off . . . That's in contrast to Musial, who usually gets off to a slow start. The significance here is that if Stan couples his tremendous and unusual early pace with his usual heavy sticking of the "stretch" months, he could wind up with some phenomenal batting figures . . . Ring 'Dire a Tough Thing to Execute Guys who connive to throw a fighfc-take added risk in that there is little chance to do any rehearsing. Apparently Bobby Jones, who turned down the bribe offer from Clarence Henry to throw the Joey Giardello bout, was asked to lose on points rather than take a "dive" ... To the nefarious gents who think along such lines, the "dive" is the riskiest operation of the two. That's because few ringmen are such consummate actors that they can effectively fake being knocked out . . . It ha3 been a popular conception that both gladiators must be in the know when a fight is fixed. But that's not so ... It is now common knowledge that more than one of Primo Camera's victories back in his "heyday" resulted from fixes, but the naive Primo was never in on the facts at that time. However, even Da Preem must have wondered how adversaries could so readily topple before his muscle - bound "push" punches . . . Getting back to the fix try aimed at Jones, all ringdom should be grateful to Bobby for throwing the bribe back in Henry's face and reporting it to the D. A. . . . Boxing would have had more to lose than Jones if he had accepted a part in the plot . . . Getting back to the local softballers, lots of the boys still would like to see a fence enclosing Phillips Field if for no other reason than to make home runs somewhat more legitimate . . . But those who make the decisions apparently are agin a fence . . . Not overly plentiful these days are those who can remember the diamond exploits of the late Chief Bender, for the Chief rose to his heights somewhere around the first decade of the century . . . This is indi cation of the pure folly found in the former system of picking men for the Hall of Fame a system used up to a couple years ago . . . Oldtimerg' Deeds Dim to Many Scribes This wisely abandoned method of filling the "Fame" hall, permitted voting by ALL members of the major league writing clan, whether they be greybeards or kids with the college ivy still stuck in their ears. Naturally the younger scriveners were swayed to vote for the gents of somewhat contemporary vintage. The onlv thin they knew of the oldtime greats had been learned in the fine print of the record book . . . But that system has been junked and now a special group of veteran writers culjs the ranks of the early performers to find the men that rate the "hall' ... After dashin? out some 400 columns over the past handful of years, we come to the close of what presumably is the final one. For a new assignment is due, one that will pull us from the sports side to duties in the city room . . . Our sojourn in sports has brought us many fine acquaintanceships among players and coaches and just fans as one season rolled into another. Together with Sports Ed Al Lightner we've seen local athletic productions and teams have their ups and their downs through these years ... A salute to you all, you guys in the sporting biz and may you be Rollrn' Along to many a title in years to come ... Czech Upsets British Star LONDON Ufi A 24-year-old Czech, Startislav Jungwirth. ran mighty Roger Bannister into the rain-drenched cinders at the White THAT'S HIS NUMBER KNOXVILLE. Tenn. (AP) Robert Brody was at the Knox county courthouse seeking a li cense number for his car "with a lot of 13s in it." He explained: "I was inducted in the Army on Fri day, the 13th, assigned to the 13th Infantry, am home on a 13-day leave and have to report back to the base on the 13h of the month. Figured I might as well get a license number to keep the luck up." ip(D Mawm: about as playable as an ice rink . . . But then the softballers don't have to depend on gate receipts. Cece Johnson, mem ber of Sheriff Denver Young's staff, recently was given a sen ior blanket award for playing a lot of forward wall with Willam ette's Bearcats. You might term it a delaved action award, since Cece graduated way back in 1950 . . . Well anyhow, Cece, your blanket is minus four years of wear and tear. . .

Jungwirth vanquished the speedy ' Briton by outmaneuvering and ut j running him down the last stretch i of an invitation half-mile race watched by 30,000 fans. The Czech was clocked in 1:5;.7.

NEW YORK UP Vice President Nixon, several governors and sen ators, a blind man. some one armed swingers, a 5-year-old boy and a sprightly 83-year-old man matched their handicaps against Ben Hogan's best across the na tion this weekend in the third an nual National Golf Day. In all, an estimated 125,000 golf ers, supported by local handicaps on their own courses, toured the links in the events sponsored by the PGA and Life magazine. Hogan. however, did not play his round Saturday. Still rocky from a virus attack, he'll play next Saturday at Baltusrol in Springfield, N.J.. scene of the U.S. Open June 17-19, broke and folding up entirely, the Senators are looking to the three games with Yakima as the pos sible turning point. Club directors will be checking the nightly at tendance with a critical eye. The Senators lost their third straight game to the Chiefs Sun day afternoon as the Wenatchees rapped 13 hits off Larry Borst and Jose Rayle, as Billy Joe Wat ers, a former Coast Leaguer, held the Salems to six. Five Senator errors aided in the scoring also. The only Salem run was Gene Tanselli's sixth homer of the year, in the seventh inning. Jake Helmuth homered for the Chieis. Johnny Briggs, the WI League's leading strikeout artist, hauled the Senators back into the win column in the night game, hurl ing his sixth triumph of the sea son and his fifth in a row, 5-3. Briggs fanned Jl while turning in his sparkling stint and walked only three. His victim was Charley Bea mon, hard-throwing Negro right hander recently sent to Wenat chee by Oakland. Briggs himself drove in the first two Salem runs with a single in the fourth, and then yielded two runs, to Wenatchee in the fourth also. Salem got another in the sixth on a walk and two errors by Joe Rivas, second baseman. Wenatchee again tied it in the sixth, but in the eighth the Salems scored twice for the win. Floyd Ogden walked, Briggs sa rificed, Jack Bukowatz singled Odgen in, went to second on a wild pitch, stole third and then scored when Mel Krause, who was also walked, was caught in a run-down between first and sec ond. Salem had only six hits in this one also, two each by Bukowatz and Krause. Wenatchee had seven off Briggs. The Senators suffered another bad blow Sunday when the Seattle Rainiers issued recall orders for Bukowatz, their optioned chattel. He is to join the Rainiers at Port land Tuesday, but likely will be with the Senators for tonight's game here with Yakima. He is currently hitting .312 and has been the sparkplug of the infield. Burkland Nine Eyes 2nd Win Victory No. 2 of the young City Softball League campaign will be the aim of the strong Burkland Lumbermen tonight at Phillips Field as they collide with Salem Used Cars in an 8:30 game. The first game of the bill will find YMCA tangling with Randle Oil. Vern Collins, the mound sharpie obtained from Grants Pass and the man who held the YMCA nine to one-hit in Friday's "opener, is slat ed to hurl for Burklands again to night. The Used Cars club dropped its opener to Kay Woolen, so will be looking for its first victory against the Lumbermen, as will the 'Y' in the mix with Randle Oil.

Ross Predicts Charles Win Over Titlist GROSSINGER, N.Y. UP - Form er welterweight . champion Barney Ross took another look at heavyweight champ Rocky Mar ciano Sunday and decided to stick by his prediction "Ezzard Charles will knock Marciano out in four rounds." The now gray Ross watched from ringside as Marciano, who defends his title against Charles at Yankee Stadium in New York June 17, boxed five rounds. "I watched Rocky work two weeks ago," said Ross, "and I said then Rocky was 'head hunting' en tirely too much. I mean he con centrates on swinging at his op ponent's head and neglects to soft en him up by not going for the stomach. "Remember what happened when Rocky fought Roland . la Starza? He kept trying for a knock out with one punch to the head and it took him 11 rounds to catch up to LaStarza. Charles is a much better all around fighter. He'll feint .and jab Rocky silly, then knock him out." Hogan Warms For National ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Oli Looking strong and Accurate on everything except putting. National Open champion Ben Hogan shot a 2-under-par 70 Sunday at the At lantic City Country Club in near by Northfield. Hogan. trying to get back on his game after a series of virus at tacks, overcame the gusts of a strong west wind to beat the 72 par in an exhibition match with three other men. The ace golfer's putts were rim ming the cup continually and fail ing to drop in. His card included 5 birdies, 10 pars, and 3 bogeys. Hogan is trying to get in shape to seek an unprecedented fifth open crown at the Baltusrol Coun try Club, Springfield, June 17-19. Cook 'Resting Well' ABILENE, Tex. Ufi Caley Cook, track star from Lewis and Clark College at Portland, Ore., who underwent surgery for a rup tured spleen Friday, was reported "resting well" Saturday. Attendants at the hospital re ported that air sickness and vio lent retching on the plane while he was flying to Abilene, probably caused the rupture. Cook was to have competed in a number of events at the NAIA track meet here. shot a 128-55-73 at the Overbrook I Country Club. In San Francisco, 5-year-old I Frankie Dye made his bid for an ' "I beat Ben Hogan" medal with : a 137-69-68 in a round that 4ook three days to complete at the Watsonville Golf Club. C. M. Culver, the 83-year-old, had a 99-26-73 at Detroit. The best gross score reported was a 62-1-61 by Charles Dudley, former Southern Amateur cham pion, at the Greenville (N.C.) Country Club. Sport Shirts by Lancer SENATOR HOTEL Mangrum sank an eight-foot putt for a birdie on the extra hole while Kroll got down in par after his tee shot had sprayed into the rough. The victory was the first of the year for the former National Open champion and like Kroll he came from far back to bang into the title deadlock. As the field of 64 professionals and amateurs started Sunday's round over Kenwood Country Club's 6,766-yard layout, Mangrum was five strokes back of Roberto De Vicenzo, of the Argentine, and Robert Rosburg of San Francisco and Chicago. Kroll was four strokes off the pace. Mangrum Hits Birdies But Mangrum birdied five of the first six holes and hit the par 35 turn in 31 blows despite a huge five on the par three eighth hole. He then carved another stroke off the card on the back nine for a 66, matching the tournament's best round. Kroll, with a 34 on the front zine, breezed in with a closing 33 to get into the playoff. A long birdie putt on the 17th gave him the 67 which he needed to match Mangrum's total. De Vincenzo, who appeared to have the tourney wrapped up as he went into the final round in a 207 tie with the youthful Rosburg a two-stroke edge over the field missed par by a stroke on the bade nine to lose his playoff chance.

Fla Yanks, Orioles Split; So Do Giants, Cincv NEW YORK OP Brooklyn ran its winning streak to nine straight Sunday to increase its National League lead to two games as the Chicago White Sox kept pace with front running Cleveland in the American by extending their win ning streak to five. The Dodgers climaxed an uphill drive, putting together four singles after two were out in the 10th in ning to defeat Chicago 6-4 for a sweep of the four-game series. Jackie Robinson's fourth hit drove ! I in the tie-breaking run. His first hit was a home run. Heavy hitting by Jim Rivera and Minnie Minoso and strong pitch ing by Sandy Consuegra and Jack Harshman gave the White Sox a 5-3 and 6-0 sweep of their double header with Washington and kept them within percentage points of the league-leading Indians. Cleveland captured two close games from the Philadelphia Ath letics, 2-1 and 7-5, to pick up a full game on the third place New York Yankees who split with Balti more. The Yankees took the second game 5-2 after the Orioles had come from behind to win the open er 7-5. Boston's Red Sox spotted Detroit three runs in the first in ning and battled back to trounce the Tigers 7-4. Cards Licked Philadelphia's Phillies climbed into a third place tie with Mil waukee, only one game behind the runner-up New York Giants in tak ing an 11-8 slugfest from the St. Louis Cardinals. Bobby Morgan's grand slam homer highlighted a six-run first inning. The Phillies added five move in the seventh after the Cards had tied the score at 6-. Cincinnati and the Giants divid ed 3-2 decisions while Pittsburgh held the Braves to a split, winning the second game 6-4 after Jim Wil son had pitched Milwaukee to a 4-0 first game victory.
