Cincinnati's Redlegs, staying
alive wild a six-game winning
streak in the National League
race, got one last chance to keep
I icir toot in the pennant door to
i'i.v. All they had to do was beat
Milwaukee.
It was no breather either for
the Braves, who slipped back into
frst place by three percentage
paints when Pittsburgh jolted
Brooklyn back to second 6-5 last
nisht.
In fact, none of the contenders
can take another loss and look

the pennant chase for awhile last
night after mopping up an 8-3 vic
t -ry that had been placed on the
Fhelf by curfew Sunday with the

A one-two-thrcc job by right-hand-c
Clem Labine made It an offi

regularly scheduled game last
night, but Clem couldn't make it
as a starter in the altcrpiece.
Thomas Does Damage

game defeats by Southern Metho
dist and Syracuse, who gained
places in the top group,
Two others, one a winner and
one which hasn't yet played its
opening game, dropped into the
second division as enthusiasm for
a couple of winners was reflected
in the ballots of sports writers
and broadcasters.
Sooners Not Open Yet
The experts, 150 strong, stuck
by their preseason poll prediction
by listing Oklahoma's Sooners as
the No. 1 team. Oklahoma doesn t
open Its season until next Satur
day, when it plays North Caro
lina. Oklahoma was listed first on 91
of 150 ballots and polled a total
of 1,150 points on the usual basis
of 10 for each first-place vote, 9
for second, etc.
Georgia Tech, winner over Ken
tucky, moved ahead of still-idle
Michigan State into second place.
Notre Dame, third in the presea
son rankings, wound up down in
141h place with only 142 points
after its 10-13 defeat by Southern
Methodist. The Mustangs, not
even listed among the first 20 in
preseason picks, look fifth place
behind Texas Christian, an im
pressive winner over Kansas.

Norlh Solem high school's junior
varsity footballers had to come
from behind in the last seven min
utes to gain a 21-21 tie with Mil
waukie JVs here Monday afternoon
in an eventful game.
Another Norlh Salem touchdown
run by Ben Kelley on a long run
was called back after that and still
later a North Salem gain to the
Milwaukie 20 was nullified by an
offsides penalty. Milwaukie had a
long run to about the Viking 10
called back by a clipping penalty.
North Salem led 14-2 at the
half but the Junior Mustangs
caught fire, took advantage of
fumbles and passes to score twice
in the third period to lead 15-14.
Failure to convert, by plunging,
on the last two touchdowns cost
Milwaukie the decision, while Norlh
Salem plunged over for the last
two extra points
North scored eight points In the
first quarter. Dave Jones tackled
an opponent behind his goal line
j for a safety and Darrel Matlhewson
scored on a 20-yard run.
Willie Christenson made it 14 by
taking a lateral and going 30 yards
lo score. The third touchdown
came on a right end sweep by
Milchell Billings and John Rohrcr
plunged for the (icing point.
Glen Vanderhoof intercepted a
Milwaukie pass wilh 40 seconds
to go in the last quarter but North

PITTSBURGH Ifi Tommy
(Hurricane) Jackson and big Bob
Baker, bidding for a crack at the
heavyweight title, clash Wednes
day night in a 12-round nationally
televised outdoor bout at Forbes i
Field.
The man who comes out on top
is almost a sure bet for a shot
at the winner of the agreed upon
but still unsigned title fight be-'
tween light-heavyweight champ
Archie Moore and young Floyd
Patterson. Jackson is ranked No.
3 and Baker No. 4.
Jackson, the tireless but er
ratic 25-yenr-old New Yorker,
won a split decision over Baker
in their first meeting Feb. 3 in
a 10-rounder at New York.
Baker's loss to Jackson was his
first in 14 bouts. Ho hadn't
dropped a decision since he was
knocked out by Moore at Miami
Beach on March 9, 1954. His rec
ord is 45-6-1, including 19 knock
outs, Jackson's record is 27-5-1,
with 12 knockouts.
Baker's big problem .has been
getting his weight down and train
er Dan Florio expects the 29-year-old
Pittsburgher to scale in at
.about 210. Jackson, who never
has a weight problem, expects to
scale about 1S4. :
