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

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.

Yanks May
Be Fisticuff
Champions
By UNITED PRESS
Even if the Yankees and
Braves don't win pennants this
season, they 11 probably wind up
as the boxing champions of the
: major leagues.
Including Thursday's brawls,
the Yankees have been involved
in four skirmishes this season
and the Braves twice have re
sorted to fisticuffs.
Here in chronological order
are basebball's main bouts this
season, including the principals
involved.
April 28: Bill Skowron, Yan
kees, vs. Jimmy Piersall, Red
Sox. Much shoving and angry
words exchanged, but no
punches thrown.
May IS: Yankee brawl at the
Copacabana. Hank Bauer al
legedly flattened a delicatessen
owner.
May 27: Johnny Logan,
Braves, vs. Hal Jeffcoat, Red
legs. Both players were ejected
for fighting. Ed Mathews,
Braves, was spiked during
battle.
June 9: Tom Sturdivant. Yan
kees, vs. Ray Boone, Tigers.
Sturdivant scored a one-punch
knockdown; both chased.
June 13: Johnny Logan,
Braves, vs. Don Drysdale,
Dodgers. Logan led with a left
but Drysdale countered neatly
to the head. Ed Mathews and
Carl Sawatski, Braves, and Gil
Hodges, Dodgers, appeared in
preliminaries.
June 13: Art Ditmar, Yankees,
vs. Larry Doby, White, Sox.
Doby dropped Ditmar with ex
plosive left hook. Enos Slaugh
ter, Yankees, and Walt Dropo,

Collegiate Trackmen
Contending at Austin
By ED FITE
Austin, Tex. 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.
Monkeys, with one exception,
are found only in regions where
furnaces and furs are unneces
sary. The exception is a large
langur, the "monkey of the
snows," found in the cold ever
green forests of the Himalayan
foothills.
