MedforihTribunb MUSIAL, ROBINSON GIVE SENIOR LOOP PRESTIGE New York (U.R) Stan (The Man) Musial and Jackie Robin son, who rose to full eminence as super-stars when Joe Di maggio and Ted Williams faded from the picture, gave the Na tional league new prestige Thursday and new hope for another victory in the annual All-Star classic. They are the new magic names in the game and stand out among all active players as best bets to land eventually in the Hall of Fame. One game doesn't make a sea son, nor does it make or break a player, but the deeds of both Musial and Robinson were brought strongly into focus Wednesday as they led their clubs to standout victories. Greatest Ail-Around Musial, now established as the game's greatest all - around hit ter, passed another milestone when he attained his 1,900th hit as the Cards drubbed the ON Page 3 SECTION TWO TODAY FOR GROCETERIA SAVINGS! We put the price of this Buick in big type because we're proud of it, It's the price of the six-passenger, two-door Special ready to roll. When you put this price against the local deliv ered prices of other cars that folks usually associate with Buick-you'U have a hard time finding a single one as low. When you put this price against what you'll pay for cars with the reputation of being "lower priced" you'll find why this Buick gives them such keen competition. And if you want to go in for extras you can still add up what goes on the bill of sale of other cars and a Buick-you'U find out that Buick's an even greater buy. We know that price is important to a lot of folks, especially with the price of groceries and even baby shoes where they are today. But you also want some fun for your money and that's where a Buick really shines. Just wait till you give a gentle nudge to the power that's under that big, broad hood and 143 Phillies, 7 to 1. Befpre the sea son ends, he is likely to top the 2,000 figure. And, as he made it 1,900 with a resounding two run homer, he surpassed all but three fading stars Phil Cav aretta, Bob Elliott, and Johnny Mize at that level. Musial, who should catch them all before the year ends, also added a single later to make it 1,901. He paced the lS-hit Cardinal attack as little Joe Presko pitched a five-hitter, three of the blows being tapped by catcher Smokey Bur gess. Robinson, not so devastating a hitter, but perhaps a greater all . around performer with his brilliance afield and on the bas es, "stole" a 8 to 5 decision for Brooklyn in 10 innings. He pil fered three bases, the last in the 10th. Robinson Eyes Long Range Kayo Pompton Lakes, N. J. (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson plans a long-range . knockout Monday night for Joey Maxim, the big' gest man he ever faced. That's the vivid impression one receives here at Sugar Ray's camp while watching him spar and while talking with him about the Yankee stadium fight How Is Question The middleweight champion admitted Thursday, "I'll try to knock Maxim out." But he ad ded, "just how I'll do it I don't know. I haven't made any plans. I never make plans before a fight. You never know what the other fellow will do." Nevertheless, the slender Ne gro's maneuvers in the ring in dicate he is committed defin itely to a hit-and-run, long-range fight in which be will try to stun Maxim from a distance and then mow him down. Butter taken from the refrig erator can be softened quickly without waste by placing a heat ed bowl over it for a few minutes. SKINNER'S GARAGE SOUTH RIVERSIDE Une Pitch Cost Two Ball Games San Francisco (U.R) Know the tale about the one pitch that meant two ball games? It was thrown by Hollywood's knuckle ball perfectionist, Johnny Lin- dell. . A few of the 7,749 fans at Lane field Wednesday night didn't see San Diego defeat Hollywood, 3-1, because they were reaching for hot dogs when Lindell unloosed his costly of fering. Home runs told the story of the Portland-Los Angeles game, won by the Angels, 4-3, on four- masters by Leon Brinkopf and Bob Usher. Clever Elmer Singleton work ed a five-hitter to post his third shutout victory of the year as San Francisco downed Sacra mento, 5-0; and short Steve Nagy pitched a two-hitter to get Seattle by Oakland, 2-1. Homer Hit LindeH's pitch met the fat part of catcher Lonnie Summers' bat and found itself rapidly pro pelled out of the park. Two men were on base at the time and when their spikes dented home plate, first-place San Diego had a victory. Because of that one fourth inning pitch, Hollywood lost a chance to move into a virtual tie for the Pacific Coast league lead. Instead, the Stars find themselves two games behind Lefty O'Doul's Padres. Lindell toiled a four-hitter and slapped a home run off Wil lie Luna, the slim southpaw who pitched the victory. Luna al lowed five hits and worked him self out of several uncomfort able spots. But it was his burly battery mate Summers, and Lindell who turned one pitch into two ball games.

U.R) Un known Bob Gadja of Detroit went out Thursday with a six under par 66 in his pocket and hope in his heart that another fine round would bring him the $250 medalist prize in the wind up of qualifying play for the PGA golf championship.

In the stand-out upper bracket setto, Miss Rawls, who won the medal with the only sub-par round of the tournamentr a one under 74, tangles with Peggy Kirk, a pro from Ponte Verde, Fla.
