r i ; Snider Belts 28th In Spite of Ailing As Dodgers Take By United Press Duke Snider, ailing knee and all, belted his 12th home run since the all-star game and his ' 1:8th of the season Saturday as Don Drysdale held the Pitts burgh Pirates to seven hits in pitching the Brooklyn Dodgers to a 3-0 victory. Snider, blasting the ball at a terrific clip despite a left knee condition which occasionally causes him to limp, hit' his homer off Bob Purkey in the fourth inning and the Dodgers scored another run in the same frame on Gil Hodges' double and Gino Cimoli's single. Drysdale struck out nine bat ters and did not issue a walk in registering his 10th victory. Brooklyn added it final run In the fifth when Junior Gilliam tripled and came home on Pee Wee Reese's infield out. Hal Jeffcoat of Cincinnati won his first game in more than a month when he scattered nine hits to beat the Chicago Cubs, 7-2. Frank Robinson and George Crowe each hit a homer to help Jeffcoat to his ninth victory of the season and his first since July 3. Robinson started the scoring with his 20th homer In the first inning against Dave Hillman. The Redlegs added two more runs in the second with the aid of two singles and a pair of walks and drove Hillman to cover In the third when they widened their margin to 6-0. Al Smith's wild throw in the ninth inning opened the gates for three runs and enabled the Kansas City athletics to defeat the Cleveland Indians, 8-5. Smith cut loose with his wild throw with two on and two out, and Bob Cerv and Billy Martin scored on the error. Hal Smith's infield hit then drove in the third jun of the inning. The Indians had tied the score 3-3 in the eighth when they scored twice off Mickey McDer mott, whose pinch homer In the seventh touched off Kansas City's Initial three-run rally. Tom Morgan, who relieved Mc Dermott in the eighth was the winner. Willard Nixon held the Wash ington Senators to five, hits while the Boston Red Sox scored a 4-1 victory even though Ted Williams' hitting streak tfrasj Stage Set For Hydros Seattle, Aug. 10 (IP) Traffic will be heavy today on Lake Washington when 15 of the fast est hydroplanes in the world race for the coveted gold cup, symbol of speed boating suprem acy. An estimated half million per sons are expected to line the course to watch this 50th run ning of the contest where engine stamina counts as much as driv er dare-deviltry and skill. The race will be run in three thirty mile heats, with three sec tions in the first heat. The num ber of sections in heat two will be determined by the number of survivors in the opening round. The six top point boats will race in the final. The owner of the boat with the highest number of points at the end gets the golden trophy and the right to name the site of next year's race. A last minute qualifier Satur day was Such Crust III, owned by Jack Shafrer, Detroit bakery owner. .Driver Jack Bartlow made, the grade on the second try in an average speed of 98.909. Such Crust is using engines flown here Friday from Detroit's inactive Miss Pepsi. An 11th hour attempt to quali fy three other boats failed as darkness d escended on the course. Among the definite starW ers is defending champion Miss Thriftway, driven by boy-faced Bill Muncey. However, Maverick's berth- mate, Shanty I, driven by Air j Force jet pilot Col. Russ Schleeh ' of Merced, Calif., and the de fending champion were just about as popular. Other top-notch boats ready to zip over the Lake Washington course included Miss Wahoo, owned by Bill Boeing Jr., and driven by Czech refugee Mira Slovak; Detroit's Gales V and VI, Miss U.S. I and Short Cir cuit and Hawaii Kai III, Miss Seattle, Miss Bardhal and Thrift away Too, all of Seattle.

The pressure putt broke a tie with Canada's Al Balding, aT- ready in with a 71 for 207. and left Snead, one of golf's most fa mous veterans, still setting the pacs with only one round left to play in the 72-hole event which pays the winning pro $50,000. Snead opened Saturday's round with a two-stroke advan tage over Balding and four or more over the rest of the field. But he lost his edge when he got a , double bogie five on the 11th hole when he drove into a trap and took four more strokes to get down on the 150-yard hole. . On the 18th Snead's second shot hit on the near edge of the green and rolled close to the pin to give him a chance to hold the margin he established on the opening round of the tourna ment. He finished the round with a par 72, and was 10 under par for the 54 holes. Balding held a one-stroke edge over Mike Souchak, Gros singer, N.Y., who had a 70 Sat urday for 208. Behind him was Art Wall Jr., Pocono Manor, Pa., with a 68 for 209, while at 210 was Gene Littler, El Cajon, Calif., with a 69 Saturday, and Shelley Mayfield, Jericho, L.I., with 72. Berg, Crocker Lead Patty Berg, Chicago, and Fay Crocker, Montevideo, Uruguay, shared the lead in the women pro division with 226, two under par, for 54 holes. Miss eBrg, a three-time win ner of the tourney, had the best round of the women pro field, a two-under-par 74, to overcome a two-stroke lead held by Miss Crocker beginning the third round.

Furillo Out With Stiff Arm Pittsburgh TCP) The injury jinx continued to haunt the Brooklyn Dodgers Saturday when Carl Furillo, their hardest hitter, was sidelined with a stiff right arm. Furillo, who had been hitting .447 for a nine-game stretch, said his arm had been bothering him since June 17 when he was hit on the right elbow by Cincin nati's Brooks. Lawrence. He had been playing off and on since . that day but today the arm stiffened and prevented him from swinging a bat. ' It was the second time in a week that the Dodgers lost a hot hitter through injury. Last Saturday, Sandy Amoros, who had been slugging at a .365 clip, was sidelined with a pulled thigh muscle. a w -63 ": STANDINGS By UNITED PRESS American League W. L.

So good and ire all coM ONE-MAN 'COPTER PILOT, SMOKES CAMELS BECAUSE THEY 6VE HIM RICHER FLAVOR IN A MILD SMOKE", , Sunday. August II, 1357 US Netters , Power Way ; In Matches 1 Pittsburgh, Aug. 10 (01 An over-powering and more experi enced United States team rolled to a clean sweep in three open ing day matches of Wightman cup competiton Saturday on the strength of singles victories by Althea Gibson and Dorothy Head Knode and a doubles triumph by Miss Gibson and Darlene Hard. A victory in any of the four matches scheduled for today at Edgeworth club would give the Americans their 21st consecutive ,Wightman title and leave them with an all-time 25 4 bulge over the . Britons. The British haven't won since 1930. Miss Gibson, 29-year-old Wim bledon titlist from New York, got the ball rolling in the U.S.'s favor by snapping out of an ear ly tenseness to defeat the British ace, Shirley Bloomer, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. It was a changed Miss Gibson who paired up later with Miss Hard to display the skill that won them' the Wimbledon dou bles crown this year. The two were like a team of human pile drivers as they slugged away at Miss Bloomer and another Brit ish teen-ager, 18-year-old Shiela Armstrong. The Americans click ed off straight set victories of 6-3, 6-4, to set the stage for to day's matches. The most blistering set of the day was the second between Mrs. Knode and 16-year-old Christine Truman. After reeling off a first set victory of 6-2 with relative ease, Dotty ran into stiff compe tition from her teen-age rival that dragged through 20 games and an hour's playing time be fore she won, 11-9.
