Phillies Grab Pair from Giants
Bob Turley Wins 8th for Yanks
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
The Phillies have operated
strictly as a "public futility"
this season, playing in-and-out
baseball in and out of Philadel
phia but don't try to tell that
to the Giants.
Those brotherly love Quakers
have been the town bullies as
far as New York is concerned
with six victories in seven
meetings thus far, counting a
double header sweep, 8-3 and
5-2, Wednesday night. The
Giants could be right on the
necks of the first place Dodgers
if only things were as they had
been in 1954 when at this time
New York Tiad won six out of
'eight from the Phils. They
wound up with a season mark
of 16 wins and only six defeats
against them.
This year, the Giants are the
only team Philadelphia beats
consistently. Philly has only 13
victories overall against 23 de
feats and had been in last place
until the twin wins Wednes
day night.
Robin Roberts struck out six
and checked the Giants with
five hits to win the opener. His
biggest difficulty was with Bob
by Hofman, sub infielder in
stalled by Manager Leo Dur-
ocher as a catcher to get more
punch behind the bat. Hofman
hit a triple and a homer.
Hitting Big-Wigs
Del Ennis and Richie Ashburn
were the hitting big-wigs be
hind Murry Dickson's third
triumph in the second game:
Ennis the menace socked a
three-run homer in the first in
ning when lefty Johnny Anton
elli was kayoed. He suffered his
third straight loss to the Phils.
Ashburn made three hits, giving
him six for the night, and
boosting him to .384 in the Na
tional league averages tops
over Giant Don Mueller who
dropped to .374 when he went
hitless in both games.
In other National league
games the Cubs took over second
from the Giants by defeating
the Cardinals 1-0 and 3-1 behind
the sizzling pitching of Paul
Minner and Bob Rush while
Cincinnati pounded out a 13-2
decision at Milwaukee. The
Dodgers and Pirates w e r t
rained out after three innings
with the score, 1-1.
Bob Turley of the Yankees
went two-up on all other ma
jor league pitchers when he won
his eighth game, a three-hit 6-2
job over Washington before any
other hurler had gotten more
than six; " Detroit topped Kan-,
sas City 8-2 while Baltimore beat
Boston, 6-2, then lost 5-2. In oth
er American league games', Chi
cago at Cleveland was rained
out.
Yogi Berra gave Turley a big
boost when he hit a three-run
Phil Drake
Almost Kept
Out of Race
Epsom, England (U.R) Phil
Drake, the fourth French horse
in the last eight years to win
the coveted English Derby, came
close to missing the race because
"six weeks ago something went
wrong with his wind."
Madame Suzy Volterra. owner
o the 199-8 shot, made that dis
closure after Phil Drake thrilled
a crowd of 400.000 by coming
from behind in the final furlong
to win the 176th running of the
classic Wednesday at Epsom
Downs.
"At one time we thought we
would have to scratch," said Ma
dame Volterra, only the third
victorious feminine owner since
the race was inaugurated in
1780. "But in the end it was all
right."
So confident of Phil Drake's
return to health was Madame
Volterra that she wagered 20
pounds on him to win, although
she says she "normally" doesn't
bet on races.
Phil Drake appeared to be al
most out of contention in fifth
place with two furlongs to go, as
the Irish Horse Panaslipper rush
ed to take the lead. But Jockey
F. Palmer brought Phil Drake
steadily closer and he finally
passed Panaslipper 50 yards
from the finish line as they
liibored up the uphill final fur
long. At the finish. Phil Drake was
in front by a length-and-a-half,
with Panaslipper another three
lengths in front of the 11-4
wagering favorite Acropolis,
owned by Alice, Lady Derby.

Minus Pool
Likely for
Prealcness
Baltimore; Md. (U.R) Pim
lico officials foresaw the possi
bility of a "minus betting pool"
for the 79th running of the
Preakness on Saturday as the
entry box opened at 8 a.m. to
day with six or seven the prob
able field for the second jewel
of the triple crown classic.
Expected to be entered along
with Belair Stud's brilliant
Nashua are Montpelier's Sara
toga, Clifford Moers' Traffic
Judge, the W. L. Ranch's
Honey's Alibi, Hilton A. Dab
son's Nance's Lad, "the Dun
treaih Farm's Fleet Path and
Gee M. Cohen's Chuck Thomp
son. Chuck Thompson finished an
Unimpressive third behind Hon
ey's Alibi and Fleet Path in the
Preakness Prep on Monday and
was not regarded as- a probable
starter, but late Wednesday, his
owner said that Chuck Thomp
son would be entered, if only to
shoot for the lesser prizes.
Prohibitive Favorite
As matters now stand, the'
classy Nashua probably will go
to the post in the 5100,000 mile
and three-sixteenths classic a
prohibitive if not 1 to 2 favor
ite. This is not expected to make
the Maryland Jockey Club hap
py since a minus pool appears
inevitable.
Nashua is the obvious target
of the fellow who invests heav
ily on the odds-on-favorite in a
small field and is more than
happy to get a $2.20 return for
$2. A large number of such bet
tors means a minus pool, be
cause there isn't enough money
bet on the others to make up
the $2.20 minimum payoff re
quired by Maryland law.
Of the prospective field, only
Saratoga and Traffic Judge are
expected to draw some support.
, The winner's share of the
puree will be approximately
$65,000. Second place money
will run to $25,000, third to
S15.000 and fourth $7,500.

Ronnie Knox Free To
For Bruins;
Portland, Ore. (U.R) Ron
nie Knox was free today to play
football for UCLA next season
after the Pacific Coast confer
ence absolved him and his .school
of any wrong doing in his much
publicized transfer from Calif
ornia.
The PCC moved to settle the
Knox case by taking two relat
ed actions yesterday at its annual
spring meeting. They were:
1. It reprimanded the South
ern Seas, a UC booster club in
Los Angeles, for hiring Knox's
father as an athletic recruiter
at a salary of $400 a month for
16 months.
2. It amended its athletic code
in such a way as to hold a school
responsible for the recruitine
activities of booster groups, if
the school knows about them or
takes part in them.
Young Knox was a sensa
tional high school football play
er who enrolled at UC in Sep
tember, 1953. He comDleteH his
school year, then transferred to
UCLA. His father, Harvey,
charged that UC failed to live
up to "promises" its boosters
had made to Ronnie.
Ronnie has two seasons of el
igibility left. He was' a reserve
tailback in spring practice until
an injury sidelined him.
Warns University
In reprimanding the Southern
Seas club, the PCC forbade the
University of California from
having anything whatsoever to
do with it until further notice.
The PCC indicated the ban
will be removed when Southern
Seas proves that it is organized
with "acceptable officers, prac
tices and objectives."
H. P. Everest, of the Univers
ity of Washington and PCC
spokesman, emphasized that the
Southern Seas hired the elder
Knox for general recruiting and
not specifically for his own son.

Club Reprimanded
ment, spokesman for the' club,
said he had "absolutely no com
ment to make" on the repri
mand. In Santa Monica, the- elder
Knox asked. "Why should the
conference single out the South
ern Seas? I fe.el that the ban is
tragic, .unfortunate thing.
Other Schools
"I don't see why they should
be penalized when so many oth
er Pacific Coast colleges are of
fering money under the table
to outstanding athletes."
Everest said there was "no ap
parent evidence" of any wrong
doing on the part of Ronnie
Knox, or of either school in
volved, which would require any
further PCC action.
, He said making the schools re
sponsible for the actions of al
umni and booster groups would
tend to make the clubs more
cautious in recruiting activities.
In other actions, the PCC:
1. Approved appointment of a
four-man standing committee on
public relations. Members will
be named before the current
meeting closes.
2. Voted to prevent any mem
ber school from playing more
than 26 basketball games a sea
