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

Snead Holds First
In Tarn 0' Shanter
With Score Of 206
By ED SAINSBURY
United Press Sports Writer
Chicago, Aug. 10 Of) Slam
ming Sam Snead held first place
in Tarn O'Shanter's $101,200
"World" tourney Saturday by
virtue of a 12-inch putt for a par
on the 18th green for a 54 hole
total of 206.
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. Miss Crocker matched
par with a 76.

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.

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.
