raves Take Over Lead in National; est Punch Landed by Ted Williams Br MILTON RICHMAN Untfed Press Sports Wriler Milwaukee bounced into first piaee in the National league to day with fists flying and the Yankees literally fought their way to within four games of the American league lead. But Ted Williams got in the best "punch" of ail with a record-smashing home run spree. The Brv moved a half game ahead of the NL pack by beating the Dodgers, fi-5, in a contest that featured a fist fight between Mil waukee's Johnny Logan and Brooklyn's Don Drysdale, while the Yankees defeated the White Sox. 4-3, after both clubs had engaged in a 2 minute free-for-all. Williams, who didn't have to resort to his fists, became the first American league player ever to hit three home runs in a single game twice in the same season when he ld the Ked Sox to a 9-3 victory ovr the Indians. Stski. Bruloo Homer In Thursday's other AL games, Detroit edged Baltimore, 2-1. and rookie Jack Urban pitched Kan sas City to a 6-2 victory over ! Washington in his first major i league game. ' The Pirates registered their ! ninth victory in 13 starts by licking the Redlegs, 3-2; the Gi ' ants beat the Cubs. 7-4; and the ! Phils snapped the Cardinals' 'eight-game winning streak, 8-1, I in other N L. contests. Reserve catcher Carl Sawat ski drove in four runs for Mil waukee with two doubles and a homer in a victory that was credited to Bob Trowbridge. Bill Bruton hit two homers for the Braves and Gino Cimoli con nected for Brooklyn. Action Aplenty The fight between Logan and Drysdale erupted in the second inning after the Brooklyn pitch er hit the Milwaukee shortstop in the back with a pitch. First the two players exchanged words, then traded punches as players from both clubs rushed out onto the field. There was even more action I in the Yankees-wnite sox game Loop Presidents Expected To Crack Down Sternly As Result of Thursday Fights Bw FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer league president Will Har ridge ant! Warren Giles are ex-pecte-f today to crack down hard nn fiat-swinging hot heads in an -effort to prevent "rowdyism'' on maior league baseball fields. JTin of at least $100 are ex pected to be levied on the five participants in Thursday's brals in Chicago and Brook lyn, rhile sharp warnings will be iaued to all 18 teams to stop the fisticuffs. Action may also fce tfcen to try to stop the con troversial "dust off pitch" the meark that touches off almost all riaseball fights. The game, already beset with cr0gresional attack and fran c h 13 e-switching troubles, has been smattered with more poor publicity this year than in the last 20 years. The first incident was Ted Williams' blast at the Marine Corps, former President Harry Truman and the late Sen. Robert A. Taft during spring training. That has been followed by the now-famous Copacabana incident involving the world champion Yankees and the as sorted free-for-alls. Climax Reached The situation reached a climax Thursday when the Yankees and White Sox engaged in a 28-min- ute free-for-all in Chicago and the Dodgem and Braves staged an impromptu fist fight at Brook lyn's Ebbets field. Only last Sun day the Yankees and Tigers had a near free-for-all in Detroit and two members of the Yankees and White Sox threatened each oth er Wednesday night after a game won by the White Sox, 7-6. In all cases, the "duster" touch ed off the swinging.The "duster" is a pitch thrown near enough to a nitter to drive him out of the batters' box but is not designed to hit him. It is a device the pitchers use against almost all long-ball hitters and it is a mat ter of course for it to be thrown to any batter who follows a teammate who has hit a home run. Pitcher Art Ditmar of the Yan kees and outfielder Larry Doby of the White Sox squared off in Chicago Thursday after a "dust er" while pitcher Don Drysdale of the Dodgers and shortstop Johnny Logan of the Braves bat tled in Brooklyn over a similar pitch. Doby, Walt Dropo, Enos Slaughter and Billy Martin all were ejected from the Chicago game while both Drysdale and Logan were kicked out of the Brooklyn game. after Larry Doby of the White Sox had to hit the dirt in the first inning to avoid being struck by one of Art Ditmar's pitches. Doby and Ditmar swung at each other and a number of other fights soon broke out involving Billy Martin, Bil Skowron and Enos Slaughter of the Yanks on one side and Walt Dropo and Doby of the White Sox on the other. The Tigers, who had lost seven straight games to Ray Moore dating back to 1955, scored both their runs off him in the sixth. Charley Maxwell hit his 12th homer and J. W. Porter doubled home the deciding run in the same frame. Urban Stars Urban's debut with Kansas City was a dandy. Called up from the American association last week end, the young right hander allowed only five hits and struck out four. Bob Cerv, Harry Simpson, Hec Lopez and Joe DeMaestri homered for A's. Gene Baker's ninth inning sacrifice fly scored Bill Mazer oski with Pittsburgh's winning run. Bob Friend limited the Red legs to six hits in posting his fourth win and giving the Pirates a sweep of the four-game series. Both Cincinnati's runs were the result of homers by Don Hoak. Home runs by Whitey Lock man, Ray Jablonski and Red Schoendienst powered the Giants to their triumph over the Cubs. The Phillies victory over the Cardinals vaulted them into sec ond place, a half-game back of Milwaukee. New York 001 030 000 4 16 1 Chicago 020 000 01O 3 8 0 Ditmar, Grim i9i and Howard. Johnson '4'.

IIP) The 36th annual national collegiate track championships begin tonight with almost as many notables missing from the field as there are contending for the 14 in dividual titles and the team crown. Defending Champion UCLA and perennial champion South ern California are among a num ber of schools which will miss the meet because they are under NCAA probations of one sort or another. The loss of these two teams alone took out such stars as USC's Bob Voiles and Doug Baijala in the javelin, distance runner Max Truex and discus ace Rink Babka; and UCLA's Rafer Johnson in the javelin and Russ Ellis in the quarter mile. In addition, Duke's Dave Sime is concentrating on base ball and won't challegene de fending champion Bobby Mor row of Abilene Christian in the 100 or 220 dashes; ineligibility of their schools cost Ohio State's Olympic star Glenn Davis and Washington's Terry Tobacco in the quarter mile; individual in eligibility eliminated Oklahoma A&M's J. W. Mashburn in the same event, and Oregon's Jim Bailey, the 1955 mile champ, isn't showing up here. But the field still is star-stud-der and Morrow is one of seven 1956 champions returning in their specialities. The others are Villanova's Ron Delany in the mile and Phil Reavis in the high jump; North Carolina College's Lee Calhoun in the high hurdles; Indiana's Gregg Bell in the broad jump; Manhattan's Ken Bantum in the shot put, and Oc cidental's Bob Gutowski in the pole vault. In addition, Aubrey Lewis of Notre Dame, who won the 400 meter hurdles, and Selwyn Jones of Michigan State, who took the 10,000 meters in the pre-Olympics meet last year, will be back in other events since those two categories are not on the 14-event agenda. Richmond Gains Four-Game Edge By UNITED PRESS The red-hot Richmond Virgin ians, taking a cue from the par ent New York Yankees, are winning the "big" games in their effort to run away with the International league pennant. Richmond downed third-place Buffalo, 3-2. in 14 innings Thursday night to increase its lead to four full games over idle Toronto.
