TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) String Bean Conley Boosts Braves Toward Pennant with 12-2 Victory By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer It took a long time, but string bean Gene Conley finally has gotten around to helping the Milwaukee Braves toward some of that World Series lettuce. Conley has suddenly blossom ed forth with seen victories in his last eight decisions to give the Braves what they've been looking for all along a fourth dependable starter1. Conley's fine seven-hit effort against Cincinnati Wednesday night gave the Braves a 12-2 victory that stretched their Na tional League lead to l vz games. The triumph was Milwaukee's 10th in the last 12 games ana Conley, who won only two games up until the All-Star break, has won 4 of those 10. Wes Covington drove in four of the Braves' runs with a pair of homers while Red Schoen dienst knocked in three more with a bases-loaded triple in the seventh inning. The Chicago Cubs, on their longest winning streak of the season, made it five in a row when they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. 5-1, and the Giants beat the Dodgers, 8-5, at Jersey City, N.J., in the only other scheduled National League con tests While Sox Cut Lead . The Chicago White Sox, who still entertain some hopes of catching the Yankees in the American League race, cut the distance between them to six games with a 7-0 decision over Kansas City. Washington nipped the Yanks, 3-2; Detroit defeated Cleveland, 4-1, and the Red Sox toppled the Orioles, 5-2, in 11 innings. Home runs by Walt Moryn, Bob Speake and Dale . Long paced the Cubs to their triumph over the Cards. Rookie Dick Drott picked up his 10th victory although he needed a neat bit of relief pitching by Dick Little field in the eighth. Drott depart ed after St. Louis filled the bases with one out in the eighth. Little f ielft came on and induced pinch hitter Walker Cooper to bounce into a double play. Herm Weh meier was the loser. Don Newcombe of the Dodg ers had a 5-3 lead going into the .ninth inning when he ran into a three-run homer by pinch ,'hitter Hank Sauer. Clem Labine took over and the Giants added two more runs when Ray Jablon ski singled with the bases full. Marv Grissom pitched one-hit ball for three innings in relief of Johnny Antonelli to gain the .victory. Hurls Fifth Shutout t Jim Wilson of the White Sox hurled his fifth shutout and 12th vfbtory in holding the Athletics ,to two hits. The White Sox rout ed Mickey McDermott with a 'six-run burst in the third in ning, Earl Torgeson and Jim Rivera each delivering two-run singles. Tom Sturdivant of the Yan kees had a two-hit shutout and a 1-0 lead against Washington in the ninth inning but Eddie Yost tagged him for a two-run homer. Sturdivant gave up two more singles before Bob Grim took over. A sacrifice and Art Schult's sacrifice fly then brought in what proved to be the deciding run. Mickey Mantle blasted his 30th homer off Tru Clevenger in the bottom of the ninth and Hank Bauer homered in the first inning. Bud Byerly, second of three Senator pitchers, was the winner. Hoeft Checks Indians Southpaw Billy Hoeft check ed the Indians on six hits as , the Tigers clinched the victory with a three-run outburst off rookie John Gray in the first inning. A walk, doubles jjy Jim Small and Ray Boone and Al Kaline's single gave Detroit its three runs in the first inning. Ted Williams' hustle on the base paths figured in Boston's ,11-inning win over the Orioles. Williams, who had driven in Boston's first two, runs with a double in the first inning, sin gled with one out in the 11th and slid into second when cen : ter-fielder Jim Busy fumbled the ball. Mickey Vernon followed with a slow roller down the first : base line and when Baltimore pitcher Connie Johnson fell fielding Bob Boyd's throw. Wil : liams hot-footed it home all the ; way from second. ' Singles by Jackie Jensen, Billy Consolo and Sammy White added two more runs. Frank Sullivan pitched a six-hitter for his 10th victory.

Howell will direct the Giants against the collegians, directed by a pro veteran. Curly Lam- beau, for the third time, in the second appearance of the New Yorkers in j the annual clash, scheduled for the 24th time. The records favored the pro fessionals, since the collegians have won only seven games and tied two of the 23 already played. Howell, too, may have something new to try out against the college boys, most of them soon to be pro rookies. Curly Is Confident - But Lambeau was confident that Howell coulcfiVt show his squad anything for which they'll be unprepared. "He's been well-s couted "Lambeau said. "I expect no problem. His chief assistant. Hunk An derson, formerly Chicago Bears coach who handies the All-Star defense, agreed thit the Giants should have nothing new. "He uses standard offenses similar to those the Giants, used under Steve Owen," he said, "and I don't think we'll have any difficulty." Both Lambeau and Anderson coached teams frequently against the Giants when they were di rected by Owen. Anderson revealed that his team is geared for switching pass defenses each time a change Newk Favors Relocation Now Jersey City, N. J. OP) Don Newcombe doesn't care where the Dodgers decide to relocate next year just so long as it isn't in Jersey City. The Dodgers have played 13 games in Jersey City and lost on'y three. Newcombe lost all three. His latest defeat at Roose velt Stadium came about last night when the Giants beat him, 8-5. with a five-run rally in the ninth inning. Hegan. Hoeft (4-6) and Wilson.

Also, he said, "I imagine our line will get their passer once in a while. They 11 keep the heat on." Both Lambeau and Anderson were maintaining the mystery of who will do what for the All- Stars, hoping to confuse the Giants as much as possible by using the college manpower, in new positions for which the pros will have little idea of their capabilities. Plenty of Passes The giants, though, can be sure of one thing. The collegians will be set to throw plenty of passes with possibly four signal callers alternating, John Brodie of Stanford, Len Dawson of Purdue, Jim Harris of Okla homa, and Paul Hornung of Notre Dame. It could be, too, that Hornung will get into action at a halfback post and possibly as a receiver, with one of the other quarter backs doing the throwing. Several of the All-Star ends rated as standout pass receivers, Joe Walton of Pittsburgh, Tom Maentz and Ron Kramer of Michigan, Brad Bomba of Indi ana and Lamar Lundy of Pur due, and virtually all the half backs could be receivers on wide plays. Tennis Cup Contest Set Pittsburgh (IP) Pairings for the 29th wightman Cup tennis matches will be annbunced to day at the Edgeworth Club in nearby Sewickley, where the British will attempt to wrest the coveted trophy from the Ameri cans during the week end. Althea Gibson, without doubt the best woman tennis player in the world today, -was expected to be named the No. 1 singles player for the American team by Capt. Margaret Osborne Du Pont. Miss Gibson won the Wim bledon championship this year in addition to a host of other titles, especially abroad. The British will probably name Shirley Bloomer their No. of the leggy Miss Gibson. Miss 1 choice to face the power slants Bloomer, unquestionably the British team's top singles player,' has never defeated Miss Gibson in previous tournaments. The British have not won the Wightnjan Cup since 1930. And this year's team though young on experience, is determined to make a good showing. They have practiced diligently at Edgeworth since arriving here last Monday.

"That is, if they can afford it," agreed Kathy Cornelius and Peggy Kirk, a pair of attractive mothers who were bitten by the golf bug early in life and have refused to et motherhood in terrupt their athletic careers. Mrs. Cornelius, 24, and Peggy Kirk Bell, each have a 3-year-old daughter. They agreed that having the kids tag along the tournament trail poses problems of baby-sitting, proper housing and provid ing playmates. Can't Give It Up "But I just can't give up golf," said the pert Mrs. Cornelius, who tied for third money in the women's All American Tourney at Tarn O'Shanter last week. Mrs. Cornelius not only plays most of the tournaments, she also hits the links for an 18-hole practice round on the rare occa sions when she and her husband are at their home in Dayton, Ohio. "It's more fun than house work, and I think it would be wonderful for every mother if she could take time out to relax with a round of golf every now and then," Mrs. Cornelius said. Baby No Problem Mrs. Bell, a pro since 1950, started playing golf when she was 17. Except for having the baby and bad weather she has rarely missed a day since. She used to fly her own plane to the tournaments, taking along her daughter, Bonnie, and her husband when he wasn't en gaged in operating the couple's Pine Needle Lodge Country Club in Southern Pines, N.C. Lately, however, she has , given up the air routes and taken to driving. This gave rise to an unexpected problem. "Bonnie got used to flying and loved it. Now she gets car sick," Mrs. Bell said LA Gunner Wins Shoot Reno, Nev. IIP) Ben Di Iorio of Los Angeles tucked 20 gauge title today as the na- uuudt BKeer, competition went into the all-gauge firing.
