Beavers Win
Two Contests
From Seattle
By PAUL CANE
San Francisco UPJ Seattle's
Steve Nagy, a wee southpaw, and
San Diego's venerable right
hander, Jack Salveson, were
offered Thursday as a study in
contrast.
Pitching veterans of the Pacif
ic Coast league, both Nagy and
Salveson went to opposite ex
tremes to achieve different re
sults Wednesday night.
Nagy Loses One-Hitler
Nagy pitched a nine-inning
one-hitter, only to lose to Port
land, 2-1, in the second game of
a double-header. And Salveson,
recording his first triumph since
June 15th, fooled no one and
allowed 13 hits but his Padres
defeated Sacramento, 5-2.
The one hit off Nagy was a
bunt by Eddie Barr in the sixth
inning.
Portland also took the opener
from Seattle, 5-1. In other
battles, San Francisco got four
hits but defeated Hollywood, 4-2.
And Los Angeles downed Oak
land, 6-4.
Loose Support Hurts ,
Here's how Nagy lost. He had
a one-run lead in the sixth, when
Barr legged out the bunt. Frank
Austin tried to sacrifice him to
second, but Seattle catcher
Claude Christie, after fielding
the ball, threw it into Austin's
back. Barr sped for third, where
Rocco Krsnich muffed a throw.
Barr came home and Austin
pulled up at third.
Austin scored the winning run
as Joe Brovia grounded out.
That sad tale of horrendous
support would be enough to
break a lesser man.
Clark Advances
In Tennis Play
Southampton, N.Y. U.R)
Top - seeded Straight Clark of
Pasadena, Calif., faced young
Bob Perry of Los Angeles
Thursday in one of the feature
quarter - final matches of the
Meadow Club invitation tennis
tournament.
Another match pitted Dick
Gaines of Edgartown, - Mass.,
against Noel Brown of Los An
geles. Clark narrowly escaped elim
ination Wednesday when he out
lasted Luis Ayala of Chile, 4-6,
7-5, 6-4, after the 19-year-old
South American reached match
point three times in the second
set.
Perry advanced by edging Bill
Davis of Knoxville, Tenn., 8-6,
6-8, 6-4; Gaines whipped Gerald
Oakley of England, 6-1, 6-2, and
Brown turned back Larry Hueb
ner of Fresno, Calif., 6-1, 6-3.

Studs Use Big Inning
To Blast Weed, 16-9
The Medford Cheney Studs
went wild in the seventh inning
here last night to score 13 runs
and blast Weed's Northern Cali
fornia league leaders by a 16 to
9 score. The Studs were trailing
9 to 2 at the start of the inning,
which saw them send 16 men to
bat.

Saxton Tops
Virgil Akins
Chicago (U.PJ They say you
find out how good a fighter is
the first time he is really hurt,
and by that rule unbeaten wel
terweight Johnny Saxton looked
like a mighty good battler
Thursday.
The New York Negro was
slammed to the canvas for the
first time in his career Wednes
day night, although that career
had extended through 30 pro
bouts and carried him to fourth
ranking among the' world's wel
terweights. The knockdown came with
dramatic suddenness in the
opening seconds of his bout
against Virgil Akins of St.
Louis, who is ranked third
among the lightweights. A two
handed flurry by Akins, a rip
ping right to the jaw and Sax
ton, the 2 to 1 favorite, was on
the floor.
" He was up at the count of two,
but had to take the mandatory
eight-count. He lasted out that
round, and then took charge
throwing plenty of leather and
winning the unanimous 10
round decision.
i hits, four bases on balls and one
Weed error. Stud Manager Paul
"Hoosier" Hoffard went to bat
twice in the inning and collected
two hits and two runs. Frank
Roelandt's triple was the big
blow of the frame, b'.ii Outfield
er "Snuffy" Smith rapped out a
double and a single in two turns
at the plate.
' Weed started out in a rush,
gaining two runs in the first inn
ing, five in the second and one
in the third before the Studs
could dent the scoring column
fdr the first time.
Outside of the seventh inning,
the standout performance of the
night was turned in by Terry
Maddox, pitching for the Studs.
Maddox came in at the start of
the eighth inning, faced six
Weed batters and struck each of
them out. The nearest thing to a
hit which he gave up was a foul
ball which cleared the grand
stand and broke the windshield
out of a new 1952 car owned by
the father; of the man at bat.
Clyde Blevins led the Studs at
bat" with, two ' doubles and a
single in four, times at the plate.
Cliff Piland, who relieved Hume
in the, second inning, was the
winning pitcher.

Golf Tourney
Chicago (U.P.) More than
100 of the highest rated golf
pros in the world began play
Thursday in the $25,000 "All
American" Open at Tarn
O'Shanter.
Among the starting field were
22 foreigners, most of them
champions of their own nation,
who were invited with expenses
paid by the Tarn sponsors to
compete not only in this week's
72 hole "World" event which
has a $75,000 prize list.
None of the foreign contin
gent rated as serious challengers
to the better known American
players, particularly since Bob-
j by Locke, twice winner of the
Tarn evenj, cancelled his entry a
week ago. Locke, from South
Africa, has been the only invad
er to show success in American
tournaments.
All the American stars, with
the exception of Ben Hogan,
were entered in the meet and
Lloyd Mangrum, who claims
Tam O'Shanter as his "home
course," but who rarely plays it,
was the best regarded in the
field.
