Yanks
5 Golden
Stir
Limp to Chicago, Offer Sox
Opportunity to Close Gap
By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Press Sports Writer
The New York Yankees, bad
ly mauled by that vicious De
troit Tiger, came stumbling into
Chicago tonight to give the
White Sox their golden oppor
tunity of 1957.
If the Yankees ever were
ready to be "taken" they are
now.
Their 5-2 drubbing by the Ti
gers Monday, thanks to Al Ka
line's three-rin homer, was their
fifth loss in the last seven
games; their league lead over
the Sox now is down to 3'.i
games lowest point since Aug.
1; and their pitching isn't ready
for the big three-game series
opening under the Chicago arcs
tonight.
Instead of having an Allie
Reynolds ready to hurl, man
ager Casey Stengel is calling
Art Ditmar, last year th? los
ingest pitcher in the league, out
of the bullpen to face either
Jim Wilson or Gerry Staley. Out
of action are ace lefties Whijtey
Ford and Bobby Shantz and the
rest of the Yanks mound corps
is wobbling.
Six-Game Streak
ine wnne box, riding a six-
game winning streak, were idle
Monday while the Tigers were
beating the Yankees for the sec
ond straight day. Mickey Mantle
slugged his 33rd homer in the
first inning with a mate aboard
to put New York ahead, 2-0,
but Frank Lary shut out the
league leaders the rest of the
way.
Kaline slammed his 17th hom
er of the year in the first inning
with two on to put Detroit ahead
to stay and give him 13 runs-batted-in
during the last four
games. Harvey Kuenn singled
home another Tiger run in the
second and Charley Maxwell's
sacrifice fly delivered the final
tally in the fifth.
If the White Sox can sweep
all three games in the series
starting tonight, they will still
be a half-game behind the Yan
kees. But they'll be all even in
the only place baseball men say
is important the lost col
umn.
The Milwaukee Braves' head
long rush toward the Nation
al league pennant was slowed on
Monday night when they dror
ped a 4-3 decision to the Phil
lies, cutting their lead to seven
games over idle St. Louis and
Brooklyn.
Braves Rally
The Braves rallied from a 3-1
deficit to tie the score with two
unearned runs in the eighth in
ning with the help of Chico
Fernandez' error. But the Phils
loaded the bases against reliev
er Ernie Johnson with one out
in the ninth and then pinch-hit
ter Ron Noi-they singled to
score Ted Kazanski with the
winning run. Rookie Dick Far-
rell was the winner in relief.
In the only other games sched
uled Monday, the New York
Giants trounced the Cincinnati
Redlegs, 17-3, and the Boston
Red Sox crushed Kansas City,
16-0.
Home runs by Danny O'Con-
nell and Hank Sauer led the
Giants' 19-hit attack as they
handed the Redlegs their 13th
loss in the last 14 games.
A 10-run seventh inning fea
tured the Red Sox' win with
four homers in that big frame
by Frank Malzone, Norm Zau-
chin, Ted Lepcio, and Jimmy
Piersall. Malzone hit another
homer, plus a double and

Calhoun Wins
In Savage
Ten Rounds
San Francisco HP) Rory
Calhotm, a fast-punching middle
weight with ambitions that in
clude the world championship, is
ready for Gene Fullmer,' Charles
Humez or Joey Giardello.
"I'll take on any of them now
for the right to a shot at the
title," said Calhoun after whip
ping third-ranked Joey Giambra
Monday night in one of the most
savage brawls ever staged in the
Cow Palace.
"I'll rest for a couple of
months to let this cut on my
cheek heal," said Calhoun, "but
then I'm ready for ihem all."
-Monday night's encounter was
one of the tougher ones Rory has
had since he became a headliner.
His big round was the fourth
when he stunned Giambra, a 2-1
favorite, with a right and then
pummeled him around the ring
at wilr. '
Giambra came back to make it !
an even battle going into the
ninth. Then Calhoun unleashed
a series of combination punches
that featured a jab and then an
uppercut which landed with sick
ening regularity.
"I just hadn't prepared for a
defense for those uppercuts,"
said Giambra,' "and that was the
difference. Guess I'll rest up a
couple of months before going
into the ring again."
' Referee Jack Downing and
Judge Frankie Carter . had a
97-93 for the winner, with Judge
Jack Silver, 96-95. United Press
had ib 97-94.
In the middle rounds, the
battling became so vicious that
the rjeferee had to warn the war
riors. Calhoun hit Giambra after
the bell, Joey used his thumbs
in Rory's eyes, and then Giambra
spun and hit Calhoun. There
was continued butting by both
fighters. , '
"But it wasn't a dirty fight,"
said Calhoun. "I've had tougher
ones in the preliminaries.
Calhoun weighed 158'2, Gi
ambra 160. -
place, 7 i games out, by blank
ing San Diego 3-0. Portland
and Seattle were idle.
Two-Hitter
Palica pitched a two-hitter
one a home run by big Steve
Bilko - and was backed by a
15-hit attack against three An
gel hurlers. Bilko hit his 50th
home run of the season in the
second to give the Angels a 1-0
lead.
But then Owen Friend hit a
two run blast and the Mounties
romped from there.
Bud Watkins held San Fran
cisco to six hits, but four Seal
double plays nullified many of
the 11 Sacramento hits until
the seventh when Al Heist
broke a l-l title by singling
home Harry Bright.
Fourth Win
It was only the fourth win of
the season in 19 tries for the
Solons against the Seals.
Harry Dorish was the San
Francisco loser.
George Witt of Hollywood
white-washed San Diego on a
four-hitter to break a third
place tie. Witt walked none and
fanned eight as he got his 16th
victory of the season.
Tony Bartirome tripled with
two Stars on base in the third
inning to give Witt all the coun
ters he needed, Paul Pettit came
through with an insurance run
by homering in the eighth.
The loss went to Jim (Mudcat)
Grant, who allowed only five
hits.

Not Quitting
New York (IP) Pain-wracked
Ted Kluszewski insisted today
he's "not quitting."
The big Cincinnati first base
man is only a part-time perform
er now because of a slipped disc
in his spine but he says he isn't
ready to hang up his mitt yet.
"Maybe I'll undergo an opera
tion this winter," he said. "J
haven't really decided what I'll
do about the back. But I'm not
going to quit baseball. My back
still bothers me although it isn't
nearly as bad as it was during
triA enrino "
Kluszewski, who will be 33
next month, . takes numerous
pills every day to keep the pain
in his back from becoming un
bearable. "Those pills are the things
that keep me going," said the
muscular Redleg veteran, who
was once among the most feared
sluggers in the National League.
So far this season, big Klu
has been in only 58 games for
Cincinnati and in many of them
he appeared solely as a pinch
hitter.

Offers Anew
New York OP) City officials
expressed hope today that the
Brooklyn Dodgers' new offer to
build their own ballpark may
keep the team in Brooklyn
but they were studying care
fully the "strings" attached to
the offer.
Dodger President Walter
O'Malley made the offer Mon
day at a special meeting with
Deputy Mayor John J. Theobald
and other officials.
The offer boiled down to this:
Forget about building a city
owned sports arena in Brooklyn.
Just condemn the land there;
sell it to us at a "common sense"
price; and we'll build our own
ball park.
Immedimate official reaction
was mixed. One official declar
ed that O'Malley's move made
things look brighter in our plan
to keep the Dodgers here." An
other insisted that O'Malley was
asking for something that is
"impossible and he knows it."

San Francisco (IPl Tip to Los
Angeles politicians:
If you want to get those Dodg
ers out there for the 1958 season,
follow the line of reasoning
used by Mayor George Christo
pher when he swung the deal
to bring the Giants here.
"I thought that if we went at
this through political angles,"
says the mayor, "that it might
delay the action.
"So I sat down with Horace
Stoneham and we talked like
two businessmen getting togeth
er to work out a deal that would
be satisfactory to both of us.
"With this type of conversa
tion, we cut out a lot of red tape
that usually comes up when
politics are involved."
unristopher, president of a
large milk company, is noted as
a sound businessman.
He not only gave the Giants
a good deal, but he arranged
so that there will be good money
made by the city of San Fran
cisco. For instance:
Sick May
Sue Teams
Seattle (IP) Seattle Rai
niers' President Emil Sick said
Monday he may "face the un
happy necessity of suing" if
major league baseball invades
the West Coast.
Sick quoted his lawyers as
saying his team would be en
titled to damages provided the
New York Giants and Brooklyn
Dodgers move west.
It was the opinion in Seattle
that major league owners must
come to terms with Pacific
Coast League owners according
to the rules of organized base
ball before a change of fran
chises could be approved.
Sick said that he still hasn t
heard from Walter ' O'Malley,
Beavers and Vancouver Mount
ies clubs already have indicated
they would take court action
against the majors' move. Sick,
who has guided to Rainiers'
fortune for 19 years, said he has
more than $1,500,000 invested
in the club.
The city of San Francisco will
Duna .me paric ana that means
that the Giants won't have to
pay any taxes, ' a very large
item.
But the city will operate the
huge parking lot and the take
from that is expected to gross
$368,000 per year.
The Giants have guaranteed a
minimum rental of $125,000; and
the city will collect another
$25,000 for advertising under
neath the stands. That means
that the income to the city will
be at least more than a half
million dollars.
Cost $12 Million
The stadium will cost about
$12,000,000. Of this, the city al
ready has a bond issue approved
for $5,000,000. The rest wiU be
borrowed from the contractor
for the stadium,- Charles Harney.
It will take 21 years to pay off
Harney; and the pay will be
started to retire the city bonds.
"When they all are paid, we'll
have a $12,000,000 stadium at no
cost to the people of the city
of San Francisco," the mayor
points out.
This All makes sense: The
Giants tand to make millions,
at the rate of about $250,000 to
$300,000 net per season; and the
city of San Francisco stands to
make millions at about the
same rate.
Additionally, the Mayor esti
mates that having the Giants in
San Francisco will add an extra
$40,000,000 to $50,000,000 to the
city's economy.
So what are they waiting for
in Los Angeles.

Quiet on Future
Detroit (IP) Buddy Park

Fight On
Again Maybe
New York HP) The corned
beef sandwiches that felled pro
moter Jim Norris may cause a
quick announcement that the
million - dollar Ray Robinson
Carmen Basilio fight is on again.
"Let's do it for Jim!" was the
melodramatic slogan of both
sides in the dispute today as
settlement negotiations were re
sumed, while multi-millionaire
Norris lay in St. Clare's hospital
recovering from an acute attack
of food poisoning.
Middleweight champion Rob
inson, who was warned by the
N.Y. State Athletic Commission
to go through with the fight or
risk having his title vacated,
said, "I'm hopeful we can settle
things today and cheer up Jim;
nothing's so important right now
as his welfare."
Norris, 50, suffered a heart
attack seven years ago; and
there is an old lesion scar on
one of the arteries although
electro-cardiograms disclosed no
new heart damage.
He was stricken by the "acute
enteritis" Monday night at the
very hour he had been sched
uled to preside over a surprise
conference at his office in Madi
son Square Garden.

that he had asked the state to

acres, including the 42 acres
mentioned, lor $50,000 in 1950.
The emmission offered $103,-
370 for the land needed.
Poulsen sought $245,000 for
sale of 15 acres of land together
with easements on another 21
