Eddie Arcaro Rides Reneged to Victory Saratoga, N.Y. JJ.R) The nation's oldest race track opened its gas yesterday at Saratoga for a four wiek meeting. . .and Eddie Arcaro scored a popular victory aboard "Reneged" in the feature race. Arcaro moved Reneged to the front early in the five and one half furlong Flash Stakes and kept him on top to beat "Head Man" by two length. "Tulchan" ran third in the small field of four.

Ashland was trailing 10 to 3 going into the last of Xm eighth, when seven runs were s-cored to send the game into an extra in ning. Howard Gang's single drove in Phil Sword for the win ning tally. In other league games Sunday, Butte Falls moved into undis puted second place with a 6 to 2 decision over Camp White, which now has an even 4-4 record.

The Yankees in the past had luck on National League waiver deals involving Johnny Mize, Jim Konstanty and Johnny Sain. And one person who thinks Maglie will help Cleveland is Yankee manager Casey Stengel. Says Stengel "Maybe Cleve land is copying from us getting a man from the other league. But it seems to;me that Cleveland general manager Hank Green berg made a speech not so long ago about it was unfair getting players from the National League." Stengel adds "And now what do you know? Cleve land is doing the same tning." The former manager of Maglie admits he hated losing the 38- year-old righthander and he also has something to say about his own job. Leo Durocher calls it "The best job in baseball. And I never fight with my boss, Horace Stoneham, despite what is print ed and said. It's his ball club and he pays the salaries." Durocher adds "I have some- ALL SMILES Former Giant pitcher, Sal Maglie is all smiles on arrival at New York's Idlewild Airport from Milwaukee to join his new club the Cleveland Indians. He was sold to Indians in straight cash deaL thing I don't think any other manager has an unlimited ex pense account. In the course of a year it will run maybe, say, $20,000." The Giant manager disagrees with those who claim he refuses to "mingle" with baseball peo pie. Durocher says "I'm always available. Of course, I don't hang around with the crowd because I don't drink. Why should I sit around with a bunch of guys with a glass of soda pop in my hand? lheres no pleasure in that.'V'-, Salem Bowler Wins Top Money at Ogden Ogden.

Post doubled home a run in'the first against loser Murry Dickson and the Redlegs added two others in the second on a walk, Roy McMil an's triple and Fowler's single. In the fourth National league encounter of the day, Pittsburgh shaded Chicago by a score of 5 to 4. Looking ahead to tonight, nine games are on tap. All four in the American league are under lights. Early Wynn (13-5) of Cleveland faces Bob Turley (11 9) at New York. The Indians and the Yanks are tied for second, one game behind Chicago. The White Sox aiso open an important series at Boston with Connie Johnson (3-1) opposing Tom Brewer (8-8) of the Red Sox. Fourth place Boston trails by three games. Frank Lary (10-11) of Detroit gets the call against Dean Stone (5-11) at Washington. And Bob by Shantz (4-8) of Kansas City goes against Bill Wight (0-3) at Baltimore. National Schedule The National league opens with an afternoon game at Chi cago. In that one it will be Vern Law (7-5) for Pittsburgh against Bob Rush (6-8). There is a twi night double-header at Cincin nati. Saul Rogovin (3-8) and Ron Negray (3-2) of Philadelphia op pose Joe Nuxhall (10-8) and Johnny Klippstein (2-6). In single night games, Johnny McCal (4-3) of New York opposes Willard Schmidt (2-1) at St. Louis. And Don Craig (3-0) of Brooklyn goes against Bob Buhl (8-7) at Mil waukee. The second place Braves, who trail by 13 and one-half games, have filled the gap left when first baseman Joe Adcock was injured yesterday. The Braves bought 27-year-old Ben Taylor from their Beaumont farm club in the Texas league. The sale is conditional. Taylor is batting only .270 but hits the long ball. He is a former member of the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers and has 23 homers with Beaumont and 81 runs batted in. Taylor replaces Adcock who suffered a broken arm when hit by a pitched ball in a game with the Giants and is out for the season. "TTtVn There's a . ' .

Goodwin said that such -transfers are "a possibility." However, nothing that drastic occurred at yesterday's five hour emergency session which at San Francisco saw representatives of the eight clubs mulling over the financial plight of the San Fran cisco Seals and Sacramento Solons plus the collapse in at tendance at the Oakland Oaks home games. The Oaks are trail ing last year's turnouts by 47,674 and the entire league is off 112.047. Seals May Move The biggest chance of a shift appears to involve the San Fran cisco Seals, who were invited by Bill Kyne, general manager of Bay Meadows race track to play their home games on the in field of the spacious horse plant. Dmon Miller, president of the Seals struggling "little corpora tion" said there was a "definite chance'-' his club might take up Kyne's bid to play ball there. At the same time, Goodwin showed the press a letter from Kyne in which he offered to do nate 40 acres of the track's prop erty for lease to the baseball club "at a nominal fee," for their home games. Kyne also extended his invi tation to the Oakland Oaks, but owner C. L. "Brick" Laws said the chances of his club leaving that city are "possible but not probable." Others Rumored Oakland has been continually rumored s ripe for a transfer to Vancouver while Sacramento is reported to be ticketed for Salt Lake' City. Phoenix, Ariz., also is re garded as interested in bagging a PCL franchise. Goodwin said that league at torney Leslie O'Connor would arrive in San Francisco either this week or next week to study the possibilities of extending the Seals' franchise area beyond the present 10-miles limit so they could make the 20 mile hitch to Bay Meadows without losing their territorial rights. 1.

And after 13 days some pro among the 600 plus contestants will pick up golf's richest cash prize, S50, 000 plus, an exhibition contract which could be worth another $55,000. Of course, some amateur might come up with the lowest score in the 72 hole tournament tab bed by the sponsors as the "world championship of golf." But if he does, all he'll get will be the limit of S50 in merchan dise and little glory. Two Tourneys The tournament actually there are two of them, the so called "All American" as a pre lude to the "world" is played in four sections . . . the men professionals, the women pro fessionals, men amateurs and wo men amateurs. Thus it's a complicated scoring problem. Some 85 exempt pro fessionals don't have to begin play until Thursday, August 4, but the rest of the men pros have to qualify by playing 18 holes either today or Wednesday. The men and women amateurs and women pro's, with some excep tions in each division, qualified yesterday, and the scorekeepers have to keep a record of the four separate tourneys, all going on at once. The men pros play 72 holes this week for a top prize of $3,420 and a total purse of $25, 000 in the "All American" wo men pros have $5,000 at stake with $1,000 to the winner. Both men and women ama teurs get $1,350 in merchandise. Only Prelude This go-around is only the prelude to the rich "world," though. After two days of "In ternational cup play" matching the foreign players who do best in the "All American" with their American counterparts, the "World" opens with the same faces and same golf course. But this time the total purse for men pros will be $157,200, for women pros, $12,000 with $5,000 for first place, and for amateurs, $1,150. Thus while there's cash money at stake in the "All American," most of the pros would be more than willing to use the four days for practice and shoot their best game in the far richer "World." Actually the golf course isn't a good test of golf, even though the tournament carries the o o Gasoline Top Octane ! game s richest purse. The course isn't particularly long. The fair ways are wide, the rough is thin, and there aren't many trees. It isn't hilly and there aren't many traps. These factors explain why the course record is 63, nine strokes under par, set by Lloyd Mang rum in 1948 and why the best score for amateurs is a 65 by Bill Campbell in the same year. Babe Didrickson Zaharias hung up. the record for women with a 69 in 1954. Usually half of the field of pros manage to bust par on the first round and usually a fourth of the field is under par for the full 72 holes of the tournament. Only when rain, or exceptionally high winds come around do the scores go up and then only to par. . ' The tourney sponsors, in order to warrant their self-designated classification of .the "world championship," guarantee ex penses for top professionals from 20 foreign countries. These stars compete with the Americans in both tournaments and occasion ally they come close to victory. In the past, Bobby Locke of South Africa has won the "All American" twice and finished Roseburq Edges The Dalles Nine In Legion Series Roseburg (U.R) Roseburg scored two runs in th& last of the ninth to edge The Dalles 7-6 and even their American Legion Junior baseball playoff series at one game apiece. The game was at Roseburg. The Dalles held a 6-5 lead go ing into the final inning and Denny ' Peterson, its ace hurler, was brought ito the game. How ever, four sigles and a walk gave Roseburg the two runs it needed with Catcher Bill Rudzik's blow to centerfield the clincher. Jerry Duroscher hurled for Roseburg, giving up but five hits but walking 11 batters.l Bill Roark started on the mound for The Dalles. The two teams now move to best three-of-five series. f 7 SHORT SLEEVE SPORT SHIRTS v Terrific Values Short Sleeve Sport Shirts . . . orlons, cottons. All styles.

None of the in vaders has won the "world," al though Peter Thomson of Aus tralia made a brilliant bid a year ago. The tournament, as always in golf, has had its fine show of luck for victory too. In 1953, Lew Worsham dropped his 104 yard approach shot into theup on the 72nd hole of the "world" to win the championship. Four times there have been holes in one, by Byron Nelson, Gene Sar azea, Billy Sixty, Junior, and George Bayer. But in only one of these was the shot made by the winner, Nelson in the 1942 "All American." Nelson boasts the best 72 hole score in the 14 years the tourney has been held, a 19-under-par 269 in the 1945 "All American. For that session, he was paid $13,600 in War Bonds. p, Anyone in the field would be glad to settle for that total in the "World" this year. It would be a virtual cinch to be worth $105, 000.
