Giants Lose, 5-3, For 5th
Loss; Cards Beat Phillies
By CARL LUNDQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
And w ossritaahre
And what is so rare as a day
in June when the world cham
pion Giants win a ball game?
Maybe panic hasn't set in yet
with the skidding New Yorkers,
but it would be mighty risky for
anyone to holler "fire" in the
Giant dugout because it might
start a stampede.
What makes it so depressing
for Manager Leo Durocher's de
parting heroes is that June in
1354 was their hottest month
when they compiled a 24-4 won
and lost record and took com
mand of the National League
race for good. This year their
mark is a sad 7-11, including the
most recent five defeats in a
row, and you can't convince
even an old crap-shooting ex
pert like Durocher that there's
anything lucky about that kind
of a natural pass. '
Monday night, resurgent Cin
cinnati, cashing in on an error
by starting pitcher Jim Hearn,
put over four runs in the fifth
inning, and went on to win a
5-3 decision behind the eight-hit
pitching of Art Fowler. It was
Fowler's first complete game of
the year after eight previous
starts in which he was kayoed.
Gates Open In Fifth
There were singles by Gus
Bell, Bobby Adams, Roy McMil
lan, and Johnny Temple and a
double by Stan Ralys in addi
tion to the throwing error by
Hearn that opened the gates for
Cincy in the fifth. Dusty Rhodes
had put the Giants out front
with a homer earlier and they
made it close for awhile when
Bill Taylor pinch-hit a two-run
homer in the seventh. However,
Cincinnati added a final run in
the eighth on singles by Hobie
Landrith, McMillan, and Fowler.
Lefty Luis Arroyo, who is
bidding to win "rookie of the
year" honors for the St. Louis
Cardinals for the second season
in a row, gained his eighth vic
tory, a 4-1 seven-hitter over the
Phillies. In the only other major
league game scheduled, lean
Gene Conley of the Braves
bested Vernon Law of the Pi
rates, 2-1, in a duel in which
both teams made only four hits.

Golfers In Practice For
Western At Portland Club
Portland (U.R) The golfer
who can keep his driver and
wedge hot will be the winner" of
the $15,000 Western Open Golf
championship here June 23-26,
the host pro said today.
Larry Lanr()erger, profession
al at the Portland Golf club who
is familiar with every blade of
grass in the lush, rolling course,
also said he didn't believe the
261 fired by Ben Hogan in win
ning the 1945 Portland Open
over the same course would be
equalled, or even, threatened.
That year Hogan chalked up
18-hole rounds of 65, 69, 63 and
64, a record which still stands
for a par-72 course.
Hogan, who played in the Na
tional Open in San Francisco,
was not expected to compete
here. '
275 May Win
Lamberger said he believed a
score of 275 would be good
enough for the title. He said pos
sible winners are Gene Littler,
Ed (Porky) Oliver, Sam Snead
and Julius Boros.
'Of course, any one of those
fellows is apt to win any time,
anywhere," he added.
The Portland course will
measure a little more than 6000
yards for the four-day event.
The rough is not too devastat
ing and the greens are excel
lent. Lamberger predicts good
putters will have a field day in
dropping In lone ones.
Lamberger figures the good
drivers will reach most of the
par-fours with a drive and a

Snead Fires 64
Portland (U.R) Slammin'
Sammy Snead found the Port
land Golf club course to his lik
ing and shot a practice round of
64 yesterday as he tuned up for
thd Western Open starting
Thursday. Snead went out in 30
strokes and came home in 34.
He got an eagle on the 18th
hole, one which Host Pro Larry
Lamberger said he had never
seen eagled before.
Gardiner Dickinson, a protege
of Ben Hogan, shot a 67.
Several other stars, including
Cary Middlecoff, Marty Furgol,
Gene Littler and Julius Boros,
were on hand already..
Seattle Is
Host To
Portland
Portland !U.R) The Port

winning stxtak, run into the
red-hot second place Seattle
Rainiers tonight in the opener
of a seven-game series at
Vaughn street ball park.
Seattle has won nine straight
and 14 out of its last 17.
Ewell Blackwell. the former
Cincinnatti "whip," will pitch
for Seattle tonight against
Southpaw Royce Lint of the
Beavers.
There were no games in the
Pacific Coast League last night.

Seeks' New
World Mark
In Sprint
San Francisco U.R) Jim
Golliday, Northwestern Univer
sity's great sprinter, will be seek
ing a new world record in the
100-yard dash when the Pacific
Coast Conference and the Big
Ten tangle in their 14th renewal
of their track and field feud
today.
Golliday tied the world rec
ord of 9-3 earlier this year and
on the fast track at Edwards
field may be able to better that.
He also is given a very good
chance of erasing a 13-year-old
mark for the meet, the 9.5 set
by Hal Davis of California in
1942, and equalled by Willie
Williams of Illinois in 1953.
The Pacific Coast Conference,
with an 8-5 lead in victories,
again is i favored to win this
meet with the major portion
of the help coming from the USC
Trojans, recent winners of the
NCAA championship.
Young Bobby Seaman of
UCLA, who recently was clock
ed in 4:01.4 for the mile, has
announced he will run in the
half-mile, instead for this meet,
so there isn't much chance of
a world record there. But Bill
Dellinger and Jim Bailey of
Oregon and Sid Wing of the
Trojans both have bettered the
meet mark of 4:09.4 set by Don
Lash of Indiana in 1937.
Mt. Shasta Opponent
Of Studs Wednesday
Medford's Cheney Studs enter
tain another foe from the North
ern California League Wednes
day. They battle Mt.. Shasta in
a non-league go at the fair
grounds at 8 p.m. It will be a
non-loop scrape.
Exact strength of the Cali
fornians hasn't been learned
here. However, the Shastans are
reported as current co-holders
Frick May Nullify Trade
Of Pope and Westlake
New York (U.R) Commis
sioner Ford Frick may nullify
the Cleveland-Baltimore deal of
last week because of the refusal
of infielder Billy Cox to report
to the Indians.
: Frick was asked by General
Manager Hank Greenberg of the
Indians to adjust the deal.
"I don't want to make any of
ficial comment at .this time until
I review the entire case," Frick
said. "But the baseball rules on
such a situation are pretty defin
ite. Under the rules, if a player
in a deal does not report to a
Mentor Doubts Amateur Status
Of Russians Under Olympic Rules
Moscow (U.R) Bob Hoff
man, coach of the United States
weight - lifting team, believes
many star Russian athletes are
not amateurs "under Olympic
rules."
The U.S. team tied a Russian
team, 3-3, in six weights com
peted in at meets in Moscow and
Leningrad during a 10-day stay
in Russia.
The Americans were guests at
a lavish farewell party in the
Hotel Metropole Sunday night.
Both American and Soviet sports
officials asked in speeches for in
creased sports relations between
the two nations in the interest of
friendship.
. Hoffman, of York, Pa., ex
pressed high praise of Soviet
teams but also doubt as to their
compliance with Olympic ama
teur rules.
"I don't think the Soviet ath
letes are amateurs," said Hoff
man, "I think they are devoting
all their time to sport and they
are being paid. I don't think they
qualify as amateurs under Olym
pic rules. They train two or three
times daily and never have less
than three months of competi
tion, frequently six. And if they
do that, I don't see how they can
work.
Lots of Money
"They seem to have lots of
money," said Hoffman. "Each
one says he is a student, plumber
or mechanic, but they don't work
at a trade.
"The Soviets were surprised
that we do not receive money
from the United States govern
ment," said Hoffman. "We told
them we must raise all the money
from the people."
Hoffman, asked if American
athletes qualify as amateurs un
der the same standards, replied,
"Our athletes spend a good
amount of time at their sport and
traveling, but they receive only
expenses and they sacrifice their
positions and advancement in
their - own professions."
' The six members of the Amer
ican team and the three officials
accompanying them each was
presented a Soviet camera at
Sunday night's farewell party.
Brenn Improves
After Accident
Portland (U.R) -Bruce Brenn,
young football prospect at the
University of Oregon who was
injured in an auto accident in
southeast Washington Saturday,
was reported in improved con
dition in a local hospital today.
Brenn, who transferred to
Oregon from Boise Junior Col
lege where he was a star, end,
suffered a mild concussion, a
fractured nose and several scalp
lacerations when the truck and
trailer he was driving jack
knifed near Paterson Ferry on
a curve. He was brought to Port
land from Umatilla yesterday.

club, that club can call the deal
off entirely if it wants to."
If that were the case, outfield
ers Dave Pope and Wally West
lake would return to. Cleveland
outfielder Gene Woodling would
go back to Baltimore. The Ori
oles also would be. saddled with
responsibility for getting the re
luctant Cox back into action if
such can be done.
Greenberg in Cleveland, tele
phoned Frick after a talk with
Cox in which he said it was ob
vious the former Dodger star
would not join the Indians.
However, Greenberg was not
asking Frick to cancel out the
entire deal. He stated in the wire
that he was "officially request
ing that the Cox phase of the deal
be cancelled and that an adjust
ment be awarded the Cleveland
club in lieu of the services of this
player."

Olson May
Use Oxygen
New York (U.R) Bobo Olson
wants an oxygen tank to help
win the light heavyweight title
from 38-year-old Archie Moore
Wednesday night at the Polo

ask the .boxing commission for
permission to administer oxygen
to Bobo between rounds.-
Trainer Fred Bianchi explain
ed today, "The oxygen will give
him a lift. Yes, we've used it
before in a few fights, including
the one with Joey Maxim on
April 13."
Dr. Vincent Nardiello of the
commission's staff said today he
believed permission would be
given although oxygen hadn't
been used in a New York ring
for years "not since the late
Pete Reilly used it on some of
his fighters."
Meanwhile, it appeared the
oxygen might be necessary, for
Moore became a 2-1 betting fa
vorite, and bookies said he prob
ably would go into the rin& at
3-1. A poll of 26 sports writers
resulted in 19 picking Moore to
