o G 1 Sleeping Dodgers Whin Phillies, 8-7, By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Those understandably-skeptical Ls Angeles fans had solid evidence today that the Dodgers "wasn't" dead just sleeping. The evidence was an old time Brooklyn-like display of power 26 hits good for 47 total bases as the Dodgers whipped the Philadelphia Phililes, 8-7 and 15-2, Sunday. It marked the first time the Dodgers were able to win two straight games this sea son and delighted a crowd of 38,453 that sent the Los An geles attendance over the half million mark for only 15 dates. , The Dodgers pulled out the opener on a two-run seventh inning homer by Charlie Neal and then hammered out 18 hits, including five doubles, two homers and a triple, against six Philadelphia pitch ers in the nightcap. Don Zim mer swung the big bat in the second game with a homer, three singles and four runs batted in. The outburst was the big gest of Sunday activity which followed generally the pat tern of the season heavy hit ting in the National league games and excellent pitching in American league games. Pirates, Giants Spilt In the National, the Pitts burgh Pirates and San Fran cisco Giants split a double header, Ramon Mejias smash ing three homers in Pitts burgh's 6-2 win and Eddie Bressoud singling home the winning run in the Giants' 4- 3, 10-inning nightcap vic tory; Walt Moryn's third dou ble gave the Chicago Cubs a 5- 4 victory before Steve Bil Jo's 14th-inning double earn ed the Cincinnati Redlegs a 3-2 decision, and the Milwau kee Braves backed Warren Bpahn with 13 hits to down the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-2. In the American, the Balti more Orioles scored 4-3 and fc0 victories over the Detroit figers. the Cleveland Indians grid Boston Red Sox ex 0 changed 2-1 decisions and the "Washington Senators defeated fr Kansas City Athletics, -S. The second Washington jansas City game was ended by rain with the score 2-2 aft fr nine innings. Rain also cancelled a Chicago - Yankee tfoubleheader at New York. Triples by Neal and Dick Grty helped the Dodgers cut fn tarly Philadelphia lead to in the sixth inning and 1tfil then tagged Robin Rob rt for his game-winning CbDsrA in the seventh.

Adr. pa Was $M9.95 1 I 1 NOW 1 Jl A nly cgy McDavitt scattered 10 hits to win his first game in the nightcap, which featured a seven-run Dodger rally in the fifth. Mejias, who hit only two homers in 58 games last sea son, clouted two off Johnny Antonelli and another off Marv Grissom to lead the Pi rates to their eighth victory in .nine games. Ron Kline got credit for the win although Elroy Face finished it. The Giants, however, stopped the Pirates from taking over first place when Daryl Spencer's double and Bressoud's single broke up the 10-inning night cap. Orlando Cepeda hit two homers and a double for the Giants in the second game. Robinson Slips Moryn's "wrong field" dou ble on which left-fielder Frank Robinson slipped and suffered a minor injury en abled Don Elston to win his fourth game for the Cubs. Bil ko's pinch double, which broke up the second game, also earned Willard Schmidt his first win for Cincinnati. The Braves knocked out Vinegar Bend Mizell in a four run fifth, featured by Ed Mathews' double and a two run single by Wes Covington. Spahn breezed to his fourth straight win with a five-hitter Tom Bolt Winner in Colonial Fort Worth, Tex. (IB Tommy Bolt, the 1958 model which claims simon-pure tem per control, moved on to the Hot Springs, Ark., open today $5,000 richer after convinc ing a host of skeptics that he was serious about golf by winning the Colonial Nation al Invitation title with a hard earned 282. Bolt, 39, who has the repu tation of being one of the most active club throwers in the business, had plenty of chances to revert to charac ter on Sunday's final round when he faltered and floun dered to a four-over-par 74 after preceding rounds of 68-70-70. Following Bolt were Ken Venturi of San Francisco, who came close but whose final 69 and 283 total was worth $3,000 and a pair of fast-closing veterans Gardner Dick inson of Panama City, Fla., and Ted Kroll of Sarasota, Fla. They won $1,900 each with their 284s. Experience VOTERS: Experience is the best teacher.

Gene Woodling hit a two run homer and threw out the potential tying run at the plate for the Orioles in the first game and Jack Harsh man pitched a five-hitter for his fourth straight win in the nightcap. Milt Pappas, 18-year-old right-hander, won the opener although he retired with a sore elbow after seven innings. Detroit has lost three straight and seven of nine after a 6-3 start.

The roof fell in at 4:34.05 p.m. Saturday when a colt called Tim Tam won the Kentucky Derby. At that mo ment, Silky was staggering along 21 lengths back in 12th place and the Horatio Alger tale ended. Silky Sullivan had proved to be nothing but a con artist. A horse-happy nation, be lieving in the "little people" and the luck of the Irish, had taken him to its heart. But when it was over they dis covered that Silky had work ed the shell game on some hayshakers and then, taking a seat in the , big time, had blown his roll without a struggle. He had conned them well. Living Ii Up Silky was really living it up when he clobbered those Santa Anita hicks. He gave 'em 28 lengths and beat 'em. He spotted 'em 40 lengths and cut them down as they came Golf Open At Portland Portland OP) The 24th annual Oregon Open golf tournament opened today with Tacoma veteran Chuck Cong don rated as the man to beat after a hot practice round. Congdon fired a five-under-par 67 over the Riverside Golf and Country Club course Sun day. Congdon won the 1947 Ore gon Open at Bend and lost a playoff in 1952 to Bob Duden of Portland at Riverside. Eighteen holes were sched uled today and Tuesday with 36 holes Wednesday. Thre eother golfers had 68's in practice rounds Sunday -Ocky Eilason, Tacoma; Bob McKeown, Portland, and Jim Shriver, Seattle, the latter two amateurs. Ron Caperna. professional at Rogue Valley Country club and Al Williams, ex-club pro, are Medford entrants in the Oregon Open Golf tournament at Riverside course in Port land. UO Scores Track Win Seattle (IP) The Univer sity of Oregon beat the Uni versity of Washington, 78-53 in a dual track meet here Sat urday. Four meet records were broken during the meet which was marred by rain showers. Cliff LaBounty of Washing ton soared 14 feet 2 inches in the pole vault to erase the existing record of 14 feet, one inch set in 1950 by George Rasmussen. Washington's Bill Moser ran the 880-yard event in 1:52.7 to establish a mark which bested the record of 1:53.7 set in 1955 by Ore gon's Jim Bailey. The other individual record breaker was Mark Robbins of Oregon who ran the two mile in 9:18.3. The old mark was 9:22.9 set in 1954 by Denny Meyer of Washington. The Husky mile relay team bettered the record in that event with a 3:18.3 beating the 3:18.4 posted by Washing ton's relay team last year. SPORTS By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press back to him and then copped the Santa Anita Derby after being 30 lengths out. But this gang he bumped into Saturday was a bunch of high-rolling smoothies. There are some who will contend that there were too many horses in front of him. But that wouldn't have mat tered to the old Silky of the hot hand. For they were well spread out heading into the stretch and there was plenty of racing room in that long, long dash down to the wire. But Silky didn't even make a serious bid. He was 19 lengths back at the head of the stretch and 21 lengths back when it was over. Those trying to preserve the vestige of a dream will say everything was against him. But that's the way he made his reputation and a "nothing" colt called Red Hot Pistol robbed the fairy tale of its final shreds of fantasy in those last long yards. Silky, beginning what was expected to be one of those patented rushes to. the front, started a bid just as they rounded into the stretch. He passed Red Hot Pistol by a length and moved into 11th place. But when it was over, just 400 yards farther down the track, Red Hot Pistol had overtaken Silky and went on to beat the Sullivan to the wire by two and one-half lengths. Even Quit Trying It was the final blow. The missile hadn't only failed to leave the launching pad. It had even quit trying. So the bubble burst as it has for so many others in sports. It made you remember Primo Camera when the buildup was over and hood lums' pistols no longer shock ed his rivals into feigned in sensibility. You thought of Chuck Davey, who waltzed up to the welterweight trail until they threw him in finally with an old pro named Kid Gavi lan. And you thought of the flameouts of such as Red Barney and Clint Hartung and the way the Cleveland Indians and the Philadelphia "Whiz Kids" rolled over and played dead in their World Series wallopings at the re spective hands of the Giants and Yankees. There will always be bub bles in sports as the longshots come on to build their castles in the air. But most of the time the idolators are match ed by a large portion of doubt ers. This time they were few and far between. Because nobody ever conned 'em like Silky Sullivan. The great bourbon of the Old West is winning new friends everywhere !
