The Cardinals moved within half-game of first place by beating Brooklyn, 3-2 Thursday night, and the Redlegs closed to within a game of the lead with a 9-1 victory over Pitts burgh. Only one game separates the first four clubs Milwaukee, St. Louis, Brooklyn and Cincinnati with fifth-place Philadelphia climbing to within only 2Vi games of the top as a result of a 5-3 decision over the Braves. The Cards threw a monkey wrench in Brooklyn' plans to take over the league lead when they beat Don Newcombe Thurs day night for the first time In seven years at St. Louis. Newcombe and Herm Weh meier were tied at 2-2 until the Cards cracked through for the winning run in the eighth on singles by Alvin Dark and Stan Musial and Wally Moon's sacri fice fly.

In addition, he Wright Has 70 Card in Wolverine Detroit (W If the women golfers in the Wolverine Open continue their record-smashing attacks on the Lochmoor club course, the tourney should be one of the best in the . nation. Mickey Wright, a 22-year-old Californian, swung her way into the opening-day lead Thursday with a par-busting 70. She split the Grosse Pointe Woods 6,406-yard layout with sizzling rounds of 35-35 and was only a one-point jump ahead of Vonnle Colby of Miami Beach, Fla. and Mary Lena Faulk of Thomasville, Ga. Bailer Starts It The previous course record of 76 was first broken Thursday by an amateur, Meriam Bailey of Evanston, 111. Her 73 placed her in a three-way tie for fifth spot but was the first record breaker. Miss Faulk lowered the mark a bit later when she came in with her 71, just a half-hour before Miss Wright posted the 70. Joyce Ziske, Waterford, Wis., carded men's par, 72, for her rounds and five others came in with less than women's par of 75. drove in the Redlegs' first two runs with a bases-loaded single off Ronnie Kline, who lost his sixth straight game and 14th of the campaign. Ed Bailey and Gus Bell each homered. Robin Roberts of the Phillies scored his first victory since June 6 in beating the Braves although Dick Farrell had to be called in to get the final out. Roberts gave up nine hits, including Hank Aaron's 30th homer in the fourth inning to post his seventh victory against 13 defeats. Ed Bouchee drove in three of Philadelphia's runs as Warren Spahn suffered the loss. Mike McCormick, 18-year-old bonus southpaw, won his first major league game in pitching the Giants to a 5-2 triumph over the Cubs, but he needed ninth- inning relief from Marc Grissom. McCormick struck out seven and gave up ail six Chicago hits. Daryl Spencer homered for the Giants. In the American league, the White Sox shaved the Yankees' lead to 3V4 games with a 6-2 triumph over the world cham pions; Boston defeated Kansas City, 5-3; Washington edged Cleveland. 3-2 in 10 innings, and Baltimore blanked Detroit, 3-0. Dick Donovan was the whole show in the White Sox victory, holding the Yankees to four hits and contributing a seventh-inning homer. Lefty Bobby Shantz failed in his fifth try for his 10th victory. The triumph for Donovan was his 10th and it followed a one-hit shutout over the Red Sox last Saturday. Bosox Clinch Early Bob Porterfield, making only his fourth start of the year, held the Athletics to six hits, including a homer by Lou Skizas, as the Red Sox beat Kan sas City for the 14th time in 18 games this season.

MDF0RDhTBJB UNE STOUTS Friday, July 28. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIKS SF Seals Gain Notch; Mounties Back in 2nd By JIM HEALY United Press Sports Writer Vancouver and Hollywood grappled and growled over th second place spot Thursday night, while the San Francisco Seals tiptoed quietly another notch out in front. The Mounties climbed back into the No. 2 position by virtue of a 9-8 win over Sacramento, and Hollywood went back into third as a result of a 7-2 beating it took at the hands of Los An geles. As this was going on, the Seals moved six games out in front of Vancouver by dumping Seattle 4-1. An additional half game now separates Hollywood from the Seals. In the other loop contest, Port land whipped San Diego 8-4 to come within two percentage points of tying Sacramento for the cellar. , Solons Fooled For the first eight innings it appeared to be all Sacramento. The Solons took a five run lead in the first frame off a bases loaded homer by Jim Greengrass and another tally by Al Heist The Mounties got two in the second, then all was quiet until the ninth when Jim Marshall banged out a three run homer for Vancouver to start a scoring spree that was just too powerful for the Solons. Sacramento tried in vain to come back with three runs in the bottom of the last frame. The Angels collected their win with a minimum of effort. Roy Hartsfleld led off for Los An geles with a two run homer in the first and Hollywood was never able to move ahead. The two Star scores came on a sacri fice by Paul Pettit, and an in field out which brought in Spook Jacobs. Babe Birrer, 3-4, won while Don Rowe took his fifth loss against five wins. The Seals took a 2-1 series lead over Seattle, mainly on the strength of three unearned runs Royal Squad Threatened Miami (IP) Members of the Montreal Royals baseball team agreed under protest to fly into the teeth of a possible Havana, Cuba" revolutionary demonstra tion today despite mailed death threats. Each player of the Interna tional league team Thursday re ceived airmailed leaflets, post marked Havana, warning him not to go to Cuba for a sched uled game. The players met after Thurs day night's game with Miami and agreed to leave by plane as scheduled but only under "protest," for their game with the Cuban team. Frank Shaughnessy, president of the International league, rul ed after receiving a promise of protection by Havana police that the team would have to play its regularly scheduled game. Bob La Rue, business manager of the team, said most of the players before the game had signed a petition asking that they not be required to make the trip under the circumstances. Ed Fitzgerald's single in the m the sixth frame. San Fran cisco scored in the second when Frank Kellert came home on a single from third. Spring Wins Seventh Seattle rallied in the seventh, scoring one run. Then Seal re liefer Leo Kielv came on to douse the fire. Jack Spring took his sixth win against four losses. Red Munger, 7-6, lost. Bob Borkowski spelled the dif ference for Portland by driving in four runs exactly three more than were needed to win The Beavers, who lead San Diego 3-2 in this series, got three runs in the first, another in the fourth and two others in the 10th scored Roy Sievers from second base with the run that gave Washington its first vic tory over Mike Garcia in two years. Russ Kemmerer went all the way for the Senators, giv ing up eight hits to register his fifth victory. Jim Lemon hit his 15th homer for Washington, Lanky Connie Johnson of the Orioles limited Detroit to five hits in achieving his eighth vic tory and third shutout of the season. Baltimore scored all of its runs off Frank Lary, who absorbed his 13th loss against only four victories.

That s 26 better than Crock Hunter, the 1956 champ, who' currently in second place.

Total weight of fish stocked was more than 1 346.000 pounds. The number ! stocked is an increase of more than 3.000.000 for a similar I period in 1956 and is a result of I the accelerated fry and f inger ! ling 'program. More thn 100,000 pounds of i'ish were released in June, the third consecutive month in which that figure has been ex ceeded. Distribution activity has been state-wide with all trucks operating.
