Handsome Jack Sanlord, lg
nored as a major league pro
pect by the Boston Red Sox 10
years ago because he was too
small, stood at least 10 feet tall
today in the eyes of Philadel
phia's pennant-smelling fans.
The rooltie right hander from
Wellesley, Mass., pitched the
Phillies into first place in the
National league Monday night
by posting a five-hit, 6-2 victory
over the St. Louis Cardinals
It marked the first time the
Phillies occupied the top rung
of the N'L standings at this stage
of the campaign since 1950. And
nobody in Philadelphia has to
be reminded that was the year
the old Whiz Kids won the pen
nant.
This new group of Whiz Kids
now has won 12 of its last 14
games, moving from fifth place
on July 1 to its present eleva
tion a half-game ahead of the
Cardinals. Sanford has been the
"big man" in this drive, allow
ing only 15 hits while posting
three straight complete game
victories.
Nibs Strikeout Leadership
In raising his season won-and
lost record to 12-2 Monday night
against the Cardinals, Sanford
took over the major league
strikeout leadership by whiffing
seven men. The blond, blue-eyed
New Englander has totaled 111
strikeouts, one more than Early
Wynn of the Cleveland Indians.
The only St. Louis player who
gave Sanford trouble was Alvin
Dark. The veteran shortstop
tripled in the fourth and scored
on Stan Musial's sacrifice fly,
then homered in the eighth to
account for both St. Louis runs
However, Willie Jones treated
Sanford to a 2-0 lead in the sec
ond inning with a two-run horn
er and the Phillies chased Vine
gar Bend Mizell in the third
with a four-run burst, featured
by Granny Hamner's two-run
double.
The Brooklyn Dodgers wal
loped the Milwaukee Braves.
20-4, and the New York Giants
whipped the Chicago Cubs, 5-3,
In other NL action. The Wash
ington Senators raced to a 10-3
victory over the Kansas City
Athletics in the only American
league game.
fleal Homers Twice
The Dodgers clubbed five Mil
waukee pitchers for 16 hits, in
cluding a pair of home runs by
Charley Nea, in moving to with
in two games of the lead. Duke
Snider, Sandy Amoros and win
ning pitcher Don Drysdale also
homered for the Dodgers, who
hustled to a 9-1 lead within four
innings and then added a nine
run burst in the eighth frame
Willie Mays, whose 12th-in-ning
home run crushed the Cubs
Sunday, turned oh his Chicago
"cousins" for the second straight
day with a two-run circuit blow
in the third inning that provided
the Giants with their winning
margin. Johnny Antonelli pick
ed up his ninth victory, although
he needed relief from Al Worth
ington in the eighth inning. Don
Mueller also homered for the
Giants.
Russ Kemmerer hit his first
major league home run and scat
tered 12 hits in pitching the Sen
ators to their victory over the
Athletics. Lou Berberct and
Faye Throneberry also homered
for Washington and Tim Thomp
son clouted one for Kansas City.

Sacs Split Double
For 7-0, 2-6 Score
With Vancouver Mon.
By UNITED PRESS
Smiles don't usually come easy
to the manager of a last place
team, but Manager Tommy
Heath of the Sacramento Solons
is beaming like a most happy
fella.
Most of the Pacific Coast
League were romping past the
half-mile post before the Solons
cleared the starting gate, but
now the dark horse from the
California capital is off and running.
It would take a miracle for the
Solons to finish in the money, but
second place Vancouver will
agree that Tommy's gang can
make it awfully rough on the
front runners.
Monday night, Sacramento
opened a doubleheader with the
Mounties by scoring their 11th
victory in their last IS starts
but then dropped the nightcap.
The Solons won 7-0, and then
lost. 6-2.
The split gave Sacramento a
5-3 series edge of the Mounties,
who trail league-leading San
Francisco by only three games.

Monday Nite
New York Ufl Lightweight
Frankie Ippolito, the Manhat

mitts and mathematics to stop
Tommy Salem Monday night,
will get another TV fight at
St. Nicholas Arena, Aug. 5.
Promoter Teddy Brenner
matched 23-year-old Ippolito to
day with dangerous Johnny
Busso of New York, who upset
fifth-ranking Larry Boardman
on June 28.
Ippolito, weighing 139 pounds
to 136 for Salem of Cleveland,
floored Tommy twice and regis
tered an upset technical knock
out at 1:37 of the sixth round.
Salem,, favored at 8-5, was
bleeding from a cut on his left
eyelid, but the bout was stopped
because he had been beaten into
helplessness on the ropes.
"I changed my style last
night," Frankie explained. "I
used some very simple mathe
matics the law of leverage
and came down off my toes to

'Quiet' Jet Engine
Claimed Developed
Virginia City, Nev. (IP) The
Curtiss-Wright Corp. has devel

signed to take the ear-splitting
racket out of the commercial jet

The revolutionary new power
plant, designed the TJ38 Zephyr,
was developed jointly by the

and Bristol Aero Engines of
England.
Officials of Curtiss-Wright
demonstrated the new engine
Monday.
The second big factor of the
Zephyr is its thrust reverser,
which enables the pilot to
"throw the plane in reverse"
much the same as the pilot of
a conventional aircraft brakes

Sacs Player Tops
In Earned Runs
San Francisco HP) Figure
filberts in the Pacific Coast
league can puzzle over the fact
that the losingest pitcher in the
loop has a better earned run
average than the leading per
centage pitcher.
Figures released today by
league statistician William Weiss
showed Roger Osenbaugh of
Sacramento with 11 losses and
an ERA of 4.39 while Bill Aber
nathie of San Francisco had a
4.74 earned run average but had
compiled a 9-1 record for the
leading percentage.
Explanation of this seeming
paradox might rest in the fact
that the Seals lead the league
while Sacramento is in last
place a couple dozen games off
the pace.
Luzon Head Hunting
Activities Feared
Manila HP) Manila constabu
lary officials expressed fear to
day that the rainy season had
sparked head-hunting activities
in northern Luzon.
Last week a member of the
head-hunting Ilongot tribe kill
ed a Christian farmer in Quezon
province and constabulary re
ports said the killer must have
taken the victim's head to pre
sent to the parents of his intend
ed bride as is the custom of the
tribe.
The report said the rainy sea
son is an ideal mating season to
the Ilongats.
Maj. Alfonso A. Calderon,
public information officer of the
constabulary, said a prospective
groom hunts for a Christian
head as a preliminary step to
winning the hand of his intend
ed bride.

County Supervisor Kenneth
Hahn who claimed Brooklyn
President Walter O'Malley had
gone so far in lining up Los
Angeles as the new home for
the Dodgers that the city and
county were about to rip apart
sections of the 105,000 seat Me
morial coliseum to make it a
temporary field for the team
until a baseball stadium could
be built.
At the same time a joint city
county group announced it was
appointing a business executive
to get a "firm agreement" from
O'Malley that he intends bring

of Brooklyn. The New York ac
count quoted a spokesman for
O'Malley as saying he was "ex
tremely interested" in the new
site offer if it is made.
Hahn declared he was reveal
ing a recent request from O'Mal
ley that Los Angeles should get
the coliseum ready for use by
the Dodgers next year because
of the latest New York reports.
The plan to appoint a promi
nent business executive to con
fer with O'Malley was disclosed
by Mayor Norris Poulson and
County Supervisor John Anson
Ford.
Verbal Agreement
Hahn indicated that so far as
he was concerned there was a
verbal agreement and he doubt
ed if the offer of a site was suf
ficient to change O'Malley's
mind. Poulson, however, took
the New York story lightly, and
declared. "I am not alarmed, let
me put it that way."
Meanwhile, San Francisco
Mayor George Christopher told
a press conference Monday that
