Machen, eighlh ranked heavy weight nationally, will be given a slight edge over his far more experienced opponent but not in the Hafer camp. Even the young San Francisco fighter's win over highly touted Nino Valdez doesn't impress Hafer who is working on a comeback. How does Hafer feel about Machen: "He's a good young boy, sure, but I've fought better." 3,000 Shooters Open Rifle Meet Camp Perry, Ohio (U.PJ More than 3,000 top civilian and service rifle and pistol shooters opened fire here today in the 1956 national open matches.

Use Tribune Want Ads ' Jusf Call 2-6141 Braves Top Reds; Lead NL By Two By carl lundquist United Press Sports Writer The return of Del Crandall's home run touch, which left him for 54 straight days before he regained it, is the latest item to boom Milwaukee's o e n n a n 1 1 stock, along with the pitching of their young phenom, Taylor Phillips. : Crandall' and Phillips, the Milwaukee battery, ran as an entry in Monday night's 5-1 vic tory over the Cincinnati Red legs, and they didn't need much help from anyone else. It was the third victory in the vital four game set with the Sedlegs and put Milwaukee two full games in front again. Second place Brooklyn was rained ouf after one inning against the Giants and the losing Redlegs in third place dropped four full games off the pace. Crandall drove in three of the runs against Cincy, two with a sixth inning homer that broke a 1-1 tie and put Phillips in front to stay. Crandal, who hit 26 homers last season, and who normally gets around 20, went from June 14 until Aug. 8 without a round- tripper. He hit his 12th then against the Cardinals and came through with his vital 13th blast Monday night, five days later. Phillips pitched a seven-hitter for his third victory and his second in a row as a starter. Frank Robinson touched him for, a first inning Cincy homer and' he pitched shutout ball thereafter. The Braves tied it at 1-1 in the second when Crandall de livered Joe Adcock from third on a 'sacrifice fly. Second base man Danny O'Connell, hitting safely in his ninth straight game, drove in two more runs for added safety in the eighth. It was a winning night at the gate for Milwauke, too, which drew 38,580 and enabled the Braves to set a new four game series home attendance record of 162,880. The Dodgers were tied 1-1 with the Giants when rain wash ed out the game in the first in ning. Pee Wee Reese had hom ered for flie Brooks. The Minneapolis Millers upset the Cleveland Indians in an ex hibition game, 5-4 and then to provide a reverse twist the In dianapolis Indians upset the Millers, 10-5, in a regular Amer ican association game. The White Sox blanked the Cubs 4-0 in an exhibition at Chicago By UNITED PRESS Old Satchel Paige admits that Rigney of the New Yorkand wnat a job he s doirig theSe days for the Miami Marlins in the International League! The one-time , major-leaguer, who claims he's "only 50-years old" but probably is closer to 55, just missed pitching a seven in ning, nohit, no-run game Mon day night as the Marlins defeated the Rochester Red Wings, 4-0, in the opener of a doubleheader. Right-fielder Tom Burgess ruined Paige's no-hit bid with a fourth inning single. The ageless Satch walked two men and struck out .three in running his season record to 10 victories against only three defeats. Paige said he "felt good" over his latest star performance be cause it "showed everyone" he can still start and finish games. He added he used no fast balls against the Red Wings. "I was just throwing my Bill Giants, whom he had described as "the worst manager in base ball." Mangan was suspended indef initely for jumping the Giants Sunday in Pittsburgh during a double header, then "popping off" about Rigney when he re turned to fly back to New York with his teammates. Rigney said Mangan came to him and "the kid begged me not to run him out of baseball." But he said he could not take any action on his suspension be cause that was invoked by Giant President Horace Stoneham. "I really feel sorry for him," Rigney said. "You have to like a kid who wants to play base ball as badly as he did. He just got down in the dumps and did something that was very stu pid." It was not the first time the 26-year-old Mangan had been in volved in a brush with his bosses. While he was with Pitts burgh he sounded off against Branch Rickey, then general manager, and acknowledged la ter, to Rickey himself, that he was the player who had scrib bled some naughty words on a club house notice. Rickey had posted the notice. Rickey sent the youngster to their Class C El Paso team where he became involved in an argument with an umpire, was fined $100 and jumped the club on that occasion, too. my other original pitches," he quipped. In the second game. Rochester bounced back to defeat the Mar lins, 8-0, behind Vern Ma'ckin son and Cot Deal's combined three-hitter. Connie Marrero, an other old-timer, pitched Havana to a 4-1 victory over Buffalo, while Richmond "turned back Montreal, 8-3. Toronto and Co lumbus were not scheduled.
