SPORTS iL Newcombe Gets Fine Chicago (UPI) Los An geles Vice-president Buzzy Ba vasi slapped a S300 fine on burly right hander Don New combe Saturday for breaking the club's curfew. The fine was the severest ever meted out against ihe lanky fast ball pitcher, who in 1955 was fined a day's pay for refusing to pitch at batting practice. "I can't understand Don," Manager Smokey Alston said. "The club is going bad and he stays out all night." Alston said he and Bavasi met with Newcombe in their Chicaeo hotel room at 10:30 a.m. to discuss "Newcombe's problems," then told him he was fined $300 for his Friday nisht escapade. Newcombe, who arrived at the ball park about an hour later, went through a furious vorkout. When he finished he was a picture of fatigue and perspiration. "I have nothing to say about anything," Newcombe said in the dugout. "I did wrong and that's all there is to it." Four Southern states, the Carolinas, Georgia and Ala bama, account for more than two-thirds of the total value of board woven goods m cot ton manufacturing in the United States. q A-2 RESULTS: Shot put Marion Elder, Wil lamette?

O Race Could Result in Junior Loop By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Casey Stengels moaning but the other managers are laughing because maybe just maybe there will be a pennant race in the Ameri can league this year after all. Just a week ago a grim gag was being told in the AL dug outs that "The Yankees might clinch the flag my Memorial Day." But instead that holi day produced a doubleheader loss by the Yankees to, of all people, the Washington Sena tors, 13-8 and 7-2, to run their losing streak to four games. The San Francisco Giants, leading the National league, were tsrmilarly jolted in 7-6 and 7-1 losses to the St. Louis Cardinals. But, even though that cut the Giants' lead over the Mil waukee Braves to a single game, it wasn't a shocker like the Yankees' humiliation by the Senators. While the Yan kees were rolling up wins, Stengel kept talking about the 1935 Yankee team that won 18 straight games then lost nine straight now may be somebody will listen to him. The panic wasn't on yet. of course, because the Yan kees still lead by 6Vz games but it was stunning to see the Senators out-slug the Yan kees. As Roy Sievers smashed three homers in the twin bill and Jim Lemon two. The Senators blew a six-run lead in the opening game and then came back to win when Sievers and Ken Aspromonte each clouted a three-run hom er in the eighth inning. But they led all the way in the nightcap after Sievers and Lemon homered in the first inning. Chuck Stobbs won the opener in relief while Pedro Ramos went the route in the second with a seven-hitter. THIS MONTH ONLY PASSENGER CARS and LIGHT TRUCKS LME (TZ&ZZTJ) Phone SP 3-4547 Roberts was touched for 12 hits, including back-to-back homers by Jerry Lynch and Gus Bell in the fifth inning. Snider Homers Duke Snider, Don Zimrner and Rookie Dick Gray each hit homers in a 15-hit attack that powered the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 9-4 win over th Chicago Cubs. Snider hit his homer off starter Glen Hobbie in the third inning and then helped chase the Cub starter with a run scoring single during a five-run rally in me fourth in ning. Zimmer's homer was the key blow in that uprising. Carl Erskine started for the Dodgers but was lifted in the fifth after Ernie Banks hom ered. Fred Kipp, who relieved him, gained credit for the victory. Ken Boyer's 12th inning homer gave the Cardinals a 10-9 victory over the Giants and knocked San Francisco out of the league lead. Boyer connected for hit eighth homer off Stu Miller. The Giants led 8-1 after five innings but starter Ray Mon zant couldn't hold the margin. Hal Smith's three-run homer off Mike McCormick in the seventh put St. Louis ahead, 9-8, but the Giants came back to tie the score in the eighth when Willie Mays singled home a run. Ray Jablonski and Orlando Cepeda homered for the Giants. Larry Jackson wag credited with ihe victory.
