National League President Warren Giles 12 days ago warned that the franchise of the Dodgers as a Los Angeles club was in jeopardy unless the voters approved a refer endum on the ballot on Cha vez Ravine. That's where the club wants to erect a 12 mil lion dollar stadium. So intense was the inter est in the referendum, Prop osition "B" on the ballot, that Registrar of Voters Benjamin S. Hite predicted som 60 per cent of the electorate would turn out, drawn to the Qolls by the baseball issue more than the regular prirQiry elec tion ballot. The campaign reached its peak in the last two days with statements and counter-state ments. President Walter F. O'Mal ley, who had at first been re luctant to plunge into the bat tle, took to ths air repeatedly to give his views on the agree merwt the club had negotiated witn the city. O'Malley said regardless of how the referendum went Che would Oight with all my gjrength" to keep the Dodgers in Angeies. xjui ai me same time HI admitted the league had the power to shift trie irancnise 11 xne ciud aid not Eave a suitable stadium by 1960T O o OrJposQig the Dodgers' con tract was the "Corr&iittee to Save Chavez Ravine" which for months had been airing New Yorker Bears Docn Jn Tournoj; St. Andrews, Scogand (UPD -VTim Holland of Ro8k ville Centre, N.Y., thepre- tournament sensation, startedJ playing lor Keeps today m the British amateur (golf cham pionship.

Gene Andrews, of Pacific Palisades, CaJif., the first American to tee off Monday, retained that honor again to day. He and Reg Taylor of South Africa started their sec ond round battle. Brig. Gen. Keith Compton of St. Louis, who also drew a bye in the opening round, made his tournament bow against Tom Worthingtcft Andrews scored the most impressive triumph among the U.S. invaders in the open ing rountQby whipping Dr. James Hastings of Gotland, 8 and 7. Harold B. Ridgley, of Haverford, Pa., who devel oped a large following in his surprise marh to the final last year, dropped a , 4-3 de- cision to 17-year-old Bob Ver wey of South Africa, who gave the Air Force master sergeant a lesson in daredevil putting. The Dodgers last October accepted as a final agreement the resolution of the City Council exchanging some 300 acres of Chavez ravine, less than a mile from the city hall, for their Wrigley Field base ball park, which had been used by the Los Angeles Pa cific Coast lgue club. But a referendum petition was circulated and the con tract was placed before the voters for their decision in today's election. The campaign reached its peak in the last two days with statements. &EDI0RD, RIBUNI SDWDHBTS If &t'&$t& h n : STANDINGS By United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L.

Braves Arrive Quietly While the Giants were met by 2,000 fans iwhen they ar rived at the airport late Sun day night, the "world cham pions sneaked into town with out anything in the way of a welcome. They'll get that when they take the field to night. There is so much interest in this early crucial series that the Giants expect that the three games will draw better, than. 60,000 fans. Tonight's game is a sell-out with the 23,000 seats gobbled up weeks ago. This is the first appear ance of the world champions here this year. "We expect we'll do better than 100,000 attendance for the week," said Gary Schu macher of the Giant office. "After the three-game series with Milwaukee, Cincinnati comes in for four games." The Giants go into the game with, a bare 12 percentage point lead over the Braves gained mainly on the strength of the slugging attack that has developed into something re sembling a murderer's row. The Big Bats Heading the cast is Willie Mays witha .407 average. Daryl Spencer, one-time light hit t i n g shortstop, still is pounding the ball for a husky .346 average. Rookie first base man Orlando Cepeda shows no signs of a let-up in his hit ting abilities and is clouting at a .331 clip. Rookie catcher Bob Schmidt, a real, old-fash ioned long-ball hitter, is con necting at .292, the same as ancient Hank Sauer in the outfield. Jablonski's average is .313. Some of the rest of the boys aren't hitting as well in the average departmentbut they are connecting when nec essary, becona baseman uan ny O'Connell has been coming through in the clutch; and so has rookie outfielder Willie Kirkland, who some days can't get the ball out of the infield, and then comes up with a game-winning homer the next. After the Braves and Red- legs come Pittsburgh and Phil adelphia, each for three games, before the team hits the road again for a "short" 17-day tour of the nation.

V. Whitney's Flamingo, the Wheatley Stable's Nasco, Mr. and Mrs. George Lewis' Mar tins Rullah, Mrs. Anna Can nulli's Chance It Tony and Cain Hoy Stable's Victory Morn would be entered for the mile and one-half Belmont when the entry box closes on Friday. Noureddin, who finished third to Tim Tam in the Derby at Churchill Downs and fifth in the Preakness at Pimlico, definitely will not run. The colt pulled up lame after a workout Saturday and owner Dr. Peter Graff agnino, who would have to pay a supple mentary fee of $5,000 to make Noureddin eligible, decided the risk was too great.

Dodgers To Open Three-Game Series Los Anfeles (UPD The Dodgers open a three - game series with Cincinnattonight about the time polling places clerks settle down t find out if the Los Angeles club has found a home in Chavez rav ine, o Left-handed Sandy Koufax (2-1) takes the mound for the Dodgers but it wouldn't be too surprising if hardly any one but the Redlegs noticed in the eagerness to catch the early returns on Proposition B. Approval of the controver sial measure would give the Dodgers a 300-acre site near downtown Los Angeles on which they plan to build a 50,000-seat Stadium with out a short left field fence. Birdie Tebbetts selected veteran Harvey Haddix (3-3), also a lefty, to start for the Redlegs, now in fourth place in the National league since whipping Pittsburgh Monday. Slightly Sensational Koufax was slightly sensa tional on the 17-game road trip just completed0in the East by the Dodgers. The young Brooklyn-born hurler whipped Milwaukee in a two hit, 11-inning game and then downed Pittsburgh. He lost a game in relief. The Dodgers returned from their eastern swing with a 8-9 record, better than they did at home in their slump ing start which dropped them into the National league cel lar, 10 games behind S&n Francisco. Hitting and pitching has improved slowly on the Los Angeles team, offering hope that the Dodgers may be on the way to being the threat they have been for the past 10 yetrs. Pover is Back Duke Snider got ft homer, a double, single end walked twice in his last game in Chi cago and Gil Hodges slammed two homers against the Cubs. Big Steve Bilkoe comes back to Southern California with the Redlegs, but he may not see much action. He has played behind switch-hitting George Crowe. Los Angeles meets Cincin nati Wednesday night and closes out the series Thursday with a day 'game before tak ing on the Milwaukee Braves in a three-game set.
