By UNITED PRESS
Early or late, the Tri-City
Braves of the Northwest League
keep piling up victories.
After winning several recent
games with late inning rallies,
the Braves reversed the script
last night and scored early and
often to sink Yakima 9-1.
Tri-City got one run in the
first and added four in the sec
ond on a grand-slam homer by
Milt Martin. It proved enough
for Ralph Burns who scattered
seven Yakima hits to chalk up
his 13th victory. Yakima's only
run came on a solo homer by
Herm Lewis in the fifth.
Wenatchee took over the late
inning dramatics with a four-run
rally in the ninth to edge Eu
gene 9-8. Herb Anderson's sin
gle to left sent Phil Marvier
across with the decider.
Tom Agosta carried a big bat
for Salem, driving in five runs
in the Senators' 10-3 victory
over Spokane. His single in the
sixth was good for two runs and
his ninth inning triple sent two
more markers across.
Bud Francis went all the way
for the winners to bring his
mark to 7-5.

Opens With 105 Men Pros
Chicago (U.R) Golf's richest
tournament, the $157,200
"World" championship at Tam
O'Shanter, opened today with
105 men pros in pursuit of the
top prize of $106,000.
Chasing for lesser awards
were 23 women pros, aiming for
the major prize of 85,000 out of
a $12,000 purse, 15 men ama
teurs and 12 women amateurs,
with the top award for the win
ner in each division to be $150
in merchandise from a total
kitty of $1,150.
Interest centered, however,
in the men's professional divi
sion, which will pay the low
scorer after 72 holes over this
6,915-yard course $50,000 in
cash, $50,000 in a contract for
50 exhibitions, and $1,000 for
caddy fees!
Though presumably each of
the 105 contenders has a chance
to win, speculation centered on
Doug Ford, the PGA champion
who last week shot a 11-under-par
277 for the same number of
Savage To
Use Skill,
Not Tricks
Salt Lake City (U.R) Mus

one of boxing's oldest tricks cost
him a win in his last match with
Holly Mims, pledged just befor
xonigni s return Dout with Mims
to use skill and not trickery in
an effort to even the score with
the Baltimore battler.
Mims, now the second ranking
middleweight of the world, faces
Salt Lake City's Savage over
the 10-round route, starting at
8:30 p.m., (MST) in the, Utah
capital city's Derks field.
In their previous meeting last
winter at Brooklyn's Eastern
Parkway arena, Mims won an
unpopular split decision from
the unranked Utah fighter.
'Shoelace Trick'
It was in the Brooklyn battle
that Savage pulled the "shoelace
trick" by pointing to Mims' shoe
laces to distract him and follow
ing up with a barrage that near
ly kayoed the easterner.
Savage figures the trick met
with disapproval of the judges,
who handed Mims the verdict.
bixteen sports writers at ring
side reportedly scored the fight
in favor of the Salt Lake fight
er. While Savage promised no
trickery, the hard hitting Balti
more boxer vowed that he will
not fall "sucker" to any more
of Savage's tactics. Pre-fight odds
favor Mims in the 10-rounder
which is expected to draw 5000
fans. Latest figures rate the vis
itor an 8-5 choice to score his
second win over the local lad.

Racing Factions Form
Group to Replace AAA
Indianapolis, Ind. 4U.R) The
auto racing fraternity, . long
known for dissension within its

organize a new governing group
to take the place of the Ameri

contest board.
Members of racing's many seg

cars to those running on the big
car circuit, including the Indian
apolis "500" met in an unprec
edented session Wednesday to
'breathe life" into a sport as
sailed roundly for a number of
disastrous accidents in recent
months.
' They formed a seven-man
temporary committee, headed
by Speedway Magistrate George
Ober, in the first step to form
the new group, only a week after
the AAA announced it is drop
ping racing at the end of the
season.
Factions Represented
Each faction of the racing fra
ternity elected a representative
to sit on the committee. Others
named were veteran driver
Duane Carter, Indianapolis; me
chanic Herb Porter, Indianap
olis; promoter Tom Marchese,
Milwaukee; car owner Bob Estes,
Inglewood, Calif.; Anton Hulman
Jr., president and owner of the
Indianapolis Speedway Corp.;
and Col. Arthur W. Herrington
