Giant Hopes Boosted by Farm Boys By UNITED PRESS The Giants looked into the future brightly Thursday be cause of three farm boys Clint Hartung, Jim Rhodes, and Al Corwin. ' It is the "immediate future" that interests Manager Leo Du rocher who never was one to "wait for next year". "And he thinks the results obtained al ready give him more than a mathematical chance for a sec ond straight miracle. Down nine full games to the Brooks after splitting Wednes day's day-night doubleheader, the Giants will have to go like fury to come close let alone catch up. But the performance of the three men in the 8 to 4 night victory after Brooklyn's opening 5 to 4 triumph made Leo beam. Hartung Standout Hartung particularly stood out, even though he was charg ed with a throwing error on a wet ball after a 55-minute rain storm that let in two Dodger runs. Clint more than atoned for that lapse by driving in three runs with a pair of doubles. . What made this significant was that in 21 games last year, he drove in only two runs and hit only one double. The one time wonder boy's confidence apparently was restored in his stint this year at Minneapolis. Rhodes came through , with three runs batted in, too,- on a double and a single and Corwin. who pitched scoreless ball until the rain, yielded only one earn ed run and was a. strong figure in the third Giants victory over Brooklyn in a week. He was the winning pitcher in the, other two. The Dodgers got an- even break when Peewee Reese sin gled in the winning run in the opener in which both Bobby Thomson of the Giants and Gil Hodges of the Brooks hit three run homers.

Dead line Sunday Classifieds is at 5:30 p.m. for following day; 10 a.m. Monday for Monday; noon Saturday for Sunday a.m. . New York (U.R) The eerie sound of horses' hoofs clopping on London cobblestones drifted into the room as Adrian Conan Doyle announced dramatically that Sherlock Holmes would re turn to detective fiction. The famed sleuth of 50 years ago would have enjoyed the ef fect of this news on members of the Mystery Writers Association in the audience. "Singular, my dear Watson," he might have murmured. Admired by 'Purists' As the dean of fiction's detect ives, Holmes still "is reverently admired by the "purists" among modern mystery authors. But as a competitor to their own mys tery novel characters . . well. . . 57 Acres of Hops Fall a!

A 19th-century melody re placed the sounds coming from a replica of Holmes' study which was on display in the room ad joining the meeting. Two mys tery novel authors leaned thoughtfully on the glass show case containing handwritten original manuscripts of the Sher lock Holmes stories. First Story Completed "The first new Sherlock Holmes story is already com pleted," Conan Doyle continued with a note of triumph in his voice. "My collaborator, John Dickson Carr, and I intend to do 12 short stories, the same num ber as my father -included in his first Sherlock Holmes book, and then follow it with a novel." Carr, a shy-appearing man, has written 50 mystery novels under his own name and the pseudonym of Carter Dickson, The two men will work in Conan Doyle's home in Tangiers, a setting far removed from the foggy London streets outside Holmes' famous study. But the mystery tales will be set in the time and place of the original Authentically Assured Conah Doyle wandered among the members assuring them of the authenticity of the new Sher lock Holmes fiction. "The first story, called the Adventures of the Seven Clocks: was shown to one of the top Holmes authorities," he said earnestly. "The only criticism he had was that we didn't have Holmes putting down his cherry wood pipe before he picked up his clay pipe. From Holmes' most fanatic followers, the Baker Street Ir regulars, came skepticism. "You don't mean it" exclaim ed Tom Stix, a lawyer who be longs to the group. "You might just as well write a continuation of the Bible." Frank Costello .

Request Turned Down Costello's last chance to stay out of jail faded Wednesday in Washington. Supreme Court Jus tice Robert H. Jackson turned down his second request to re main free on$5,000 bail while he seeks a review of his case by the nation's highest court. The term at the federal cor rectional institution at Danbury will be Costello's first ' stretch behind bars in 37 years. He serv ed a short term for illegally carrying a gun in 1915. Eligible for Parole Costello, identified by the-Ke-fauver crime committee as the kingpin of a New York-Miami gambling axis, will don prison dungarees in place of the expen sively tailored suits which are his trademark. ' The 61-year-old gambler will be eligible for parole in six months. He can continue to press his appeal while serving his sentence.

I was so popu lar and I hope I can bear this multiple courtship and captivity with becoming modesty . . . it's not too uncomfortable to be cap tured by most everybody " ex cept the Republican Old Guard."
