o LA Ood o From B By FRED DOWN United Press International Those stories of the Los Angeles Dodgers' collapse were just a bit too premature as far as the Milwaukee Braves are concerned. And, you'll have to excuse the Cleveland Indians for laughing up their sleeves at reports of the New York Yan kees invincibility. The Dodgers made it a "lost week end" for the Braves on Sunday when they swept their three-game series with a 12-4 rout that xfended the world champion g' losing streak to four games. The Braves never lost more than three straight games en route to the NL pennant last season and their pitching staff has been thoroughly chewed up during the last week. The Indians, meanwhile, spoiled matters for New York's largest baseball turn out of the year, 40,903, when they whipped the American league leaders, 14-1 and 5-4. The first-game loss was the most humiliating of the year Middlecoff Favorite in U.S. Open By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Tulsa, Okla. (UPI) Those who know the game the best, the playing pros, singled out Cary Middlecoff as the favor- ite and Farnk Stranahan and Mike Souchak as the leading dark-horses today for the U. S. Open golf championship. Their evaluation of the tbree-day, 72-hole medal play tournament which starts Thursday over the Southern Hills country club course dif fered from that of the golfers who competed in the Dallas Open, which Sam Snead won Sunday for the second year in a row, At Dallas the Open choice was Ben Hogan, shooting for an unprecedented fifth Open title, with Snead arid' Bill Maxwell as the s e c o n d choices. And the way Hogan played nine holes in practice Sunday, winding up with a two under par 33 on th.e front . nine despite three-putting $he ninth hole, would seem to bear them out. Some Disagree But the pros whs have been testing the tough rough, the treacherous sandtraps and the narrow fairways'of the 6,907 yard Southern Hills ' course didn't agree. "It's going to take a real O strong golfer to win this one, especially with the searing heat which prevails here, and I don't think Ben will be up to those two 18-hole rounds on Saturday," Ed Furgol said. Furgol won the Open in 1954. "Personally, I like Middle coff." o Middlecoff, who won the Open twice, in 1949 and 1956, and who lqt to defending champion Dick Mayer in a playoff last year, has planned for this oae. He limited his tournament play so that he would be well rested, playing just enough to keep a com petitive edge.

A crowd of 57,122 at Los Angeles saw the Dodgers rack up four Milwaukee pitchers for 19 hits including four each by Carl Furillo and Don Zim mer. Johnny Podres was tag ged for 11 hits but went the distance for his fifth in a row in the coliseum and his sixth win of the season. Indians Get 18 Hits The Indians buried the Yan kees under an 18-hit attack in the opener and won the second game on Russ Nixon's sixth-inning homer. Both de feats were charged to John ny Kucks, who started the first game and relieved in the second. pro golfers would like to see him win. For time is running out on Slammin' Sam, who has won more tournaments and more money than any golfer in. history, but who never has been able to cap ture the open. Snead is 46. Furgol, who has no hope that he can win it because his right "elbow hasn't gained full strength since an operation for the removal of bone chips and a ruptured blood vessel, picked Souchak" as his dark horse, and a lot of the pros who have been playing here went along with him. Big Mike, they point out, is in the Open on a pass and Furgol goes along with "a guy in a lucky streak.

YEARS OLD $2 80 PINT Ml) I lead in the first two innings and Podres coasted nine de spite homers by Hank Aaron and Del Crandall. The Dodg ers now have won all five meetings with the world champions who did have one consolation, the three - game series drew 171,326. Los Angeles season attendance for 26 dates now is a whopping 810,151. Rocky Colavito had a hom er, triple and double and Bob by Avila, Roger Maris and Billy Harrell also had three hits each as Cleveland's Ray Narleski breezed to his sev enth win the opener. Colavito also homered and Minnie Min- oso had three hits for the Tribe in the second 'game. Klu Spoiled No-Hitler Drabowsky, 22, missed a no-hitter when ponderous Ted Kluszewski beat out a slow grounder toward second base in the second inning. Bobby Adams, playing deep for Klu, fielded the ball but could not make a good throw. Ernie Banks and Walt Moryn paced the Cubs with homers. Hoak's third hit, a two-run single, capped a three-run ninth-inning rally that en abled Cincinnati's Brooks Lawrence to win his third game. Marv Grissom, 42-year old relief ace, suffered his second defeat for San Fran cisco. Harry Anderson's two - run homer gave . the Phillies the win in a four hour and 39 minute nightcap after a . sac rifice fly by Del Ennis pro duced the Cardinals' winning run in the 3:25 opener.. The total elapsed playing time set a new record for a major league doubleheader. There was once a horror seven min utes longer. The Red Sox were out-hit 5-19, but won the opener on four homers two by Jackie Jensen and one each by Don Buddin and Dick Gernert. Dave Sisler won the second game with a six-hitter behind homers by Jimmy Piersall and Gene Stephens. The Red Sox' five-game winning streak is their longest of the year. Pedro Ramos, aided by Dick Hyde's flawless ninth inning relief pitching, won his fourth game as the Sena tors' eight-hit attack offset Detroit homers by Gus Zerni- al, Frank Boiling and Billy Martin. Zernial's pinch homer tied the major league record of nine by a player during a career. Virgil Trucks rescued Duke Maas to gain a split for the Athletics after Baltimore's Skinny Brown and George Zuverink collaborated in a seven-hit shutout.

McANDREWS RD. Sam Snead Dallas Open Champion Dallas, Tex. (UPI) Sam uel Jackson Snead, who has waged a fruitless search since 1937 for the one big. golf crown that has eluded him the National Open had a victory springboard today to carry him into the 1958 edi tion starting at Tulsa's South ern Hills Thursday. The 46-year-old West Vir ginia hillbilly who came down into the flatlands in 1936 and had been a head liner ever since with his pic ture swing and winning golf, successfully defended his Dal las Open title Sunday, but had to curl in a 15-foot side hill putt on the first extra hole of a four-way sudden death playoff to" turn the trick. Eight Under Par He finished with an eight-under-par 272 with a 35-36 69 final round to finish in a deadlock with Julius Boros of Mid Pines, N.C., Gary Player of South Africa and rookie John McMull in of Fair Oaks, Calif., who blew the tournament" on the final five holes when the pres sure finally caught up with him. The $3,500 first money ran Snead's official PGA win nings to an all-time record $329,000 and gave him his 100th tournament victory.' Snead still hasn't got his putting game back in the grove that will be necessary to take the big one later this week. He missed enough short putts to have won here hands down. His long ones were dropping easily enough but the short ones rimmed the cup . or broke off to one side. Lewiston Holds Lead Of 5 Tiffs By United Press International Rain cut into the weekend slate in the Northwest Lea gue but it failed to put a damper on Lewiston's first half drive. The first place Broncs split Sunday's twin bill with Sa lem and hold a five-game lead over second place We natchee as the loop moves in to another week of play. Only one game was played Saturday and it saw Yakima a 10-6 victor over Wenatchee, The Bears got six big runs in the second on one hit, three errors, four walks and a double steal. Tri-City and Eugene were washed out both Saturday and Sunday and the Satur day Lewiston - Salem game also was a victim of the rain drops. . Lewiston and Salem split their twin bill Sunday. Vern Kindsfather, new Salem man ager, took things into his own hands and tossed a 3-2 vic tory in the 9-inning opener; In the second game rookie Ray Hyde spaced seven Sa lem bingles for a 4-2 Lewis- ton victory. Bruce Mcintosh and Arnie Hallgren bopped solo homers for the winners in this one. Yakima nicked Wenatchee 4-2 : in the opener of their Sunday doubleheader but We natchee more than got even with a 21-1 slaughter in the nightcap.

That was reemphasized Sunday when the 22-year-old Drabowsky of the Chicago Cubs pitched a brilliant one hitter to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-0, in the first game of a doubleheader at Chicago. The only safety he permitted was an infield single by Ted Kluszewski, who barely beat the throw at first base. The Polish-born righthand er, whose mother wanted him to be a violinist, reached the cross-roads of his career when he decided he had a better chance of success as a pitcher. His development has helped give Manager Bob Scheffing of the Cubs the most promis ing "baby" pitching corps in the majors.
