EICHT MEDFOHD (OHEGON1 MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. August 24. 1958 Don Newcombe Scores 20th Pitching Victory of Season By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Don Newcombe became the major leagues' lirst 20-game victor of the year today and set his sights on being the Brooklyn Dodzers' bieeest winner in 32 years. Newcombe yielded three home runs but hung on for a 8-5 tri- umph Thursday night to raise his season record to 20-8 as the Dodgers won the opener ol a key three-game series with the Redlegs. The victory enabled the Dodgers to remain two games behind the first-place Mil waukee Braves and shoved the Redlegs four games out of first Dlace. Newcombe requires only three more victories to become the Dodgers' biggest winner since Dazzy Vance won 28 games in 1924. Since then, no Dodger pitcher has won more than 22 games in a single season. Redlegs Continue Homer Pace Carl Furillo and Duke Snider each drove in three runs to off set a Redleg attack that featured a three-run homer by Wally Post and solo round-trippers by Frank Robinson and Ed Bailey. The three homers raised the Redlegs' total to a new season club mark of 183 and also ex tended their team homer streak to 20 games only four short of the National league mark held by the 1953 Dodgers. Newcombe himself scored the winning run in the top of the ninth when he tallied on Sni der's double. Big Newk walked only one batter and struck out six in giving the Dodgers their eighth win in 18 meetings with the Redlegs. The Braves retained their two game lead with an 11-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies featured by a grand-slam homer by Bobby Thomson in addition to round trippers by Hank Aaron and Johnny Logan. Ray Crone won his 10th game of the season, although he needed help from Ernie Johnson. Stan Lopa ta walloped two homers for the Phillies to raise his season total to 27. Cards Down Bucs Twice Vinegar Bend Mizell won his 12th game and Jackie Collum his sixth as the St. Louis Cardi nals downed the Pittsburgh Pi rates, 3-0 and 3-2. Ray Katt hit a two-run homer and scored the third run for the Cardinals in the opener while Bobby Morgan singled home the winning run in the ninth of the nightcap. Johnny Antonelli chalked up his 13th win and Max Surkont his first when the New York Giants swept the Chicago Cubs, 2-1 and 8-5. Daryl Spencer sin gled home the winning run in the ninth of the opener and the Giants clinched the nightcap with eight runs in the third in ning. Nelson Fox whacked out seven straight hits before he was stopped to lead the Chicago White Sox to 6-3 and 6-4 wins over the American league-leading New York Yankees. Fox had five hits in the opener and two in the nightcap as Bob Keegan won his fourth game and Dixie Howell registered his fifth. . Yanks Retain Lead Gap The Yankees, however, re tained an eight-game lead when the Boston Red Sox beat the second-place Cleveland Indians, 2-1. Three walks and Jimmy Piersall's sacrifice fly gave the Red Sox their winning run and Mell Parnell the decision over 16-game winner Bob Lemon. Roy Sievers tied his own club record when he hit his 25th home run of the year to give the Washington Senators a 5-3 deci sion over the Kansas City Ath letics. Chuck Stobbs- pitched five hitter for his 12th win and also started the winning three- run, fifth-inning rally with a double. Ray Moore yielded three hits before retiring with an injured shoulder in the seventh inning and beat the Detroit Tigers for the fifth straight time as the Baltimore Orioles scored a 3-0 victory in the other American league game.

(U.R) Samuel Jackson Snead, the kind of mod ern golfs old guard, used a soft putter instead of his famous driver to show the young pros how it's done in the opening round of the $20,000 St. Paul Open. Snead and a frail 25-year-old CaliJornian each birdied eight holes to tie for first place with six-under par rounds of 66 at the end of 18 holes. "Don't touch that putter. I don't want it to cool off," Snead warned the other pros when he walked into the clubhouse. Bud Holscher of Apple Valley, Calif., felt the same way after tieing Snead for the lead. "That putter never worked better," Holscher said. "It was almost unbelievable." Cards Attest The score cards attested to the words of Snead and Holscher. Snead sank putts of 8, 3, 10, 12, 3, 8, 26 and 4 feet for his eight birdies. His usually erratic putter failed him only on the 6th and 13th holes when he 3-putted for bogies. Holscher, playing in the same threesome with Snead, outdid the old master putting in shots of 12, 6, 5, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 3 feet to match Snead's eight birdies. There was a real traffic jam behind the front runners. One stroke off the pace with 67s were Ted Rhodes of Chicago, a golfing buddy of Joe Louis; Dave Douglas, Newark, Del., Howie Johnson, Houston, Tex.; Dick Mayer, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Fred Hawkins, El Paso, Tex., and Freddie Haas, New Orleans, La.
