the Giants ninth loss in 13

Jensen EEOasts
I4th Home Run
For Team Victory
United Press International
For downright stubborness,
we give you a guy like Jackie
Jensen, who simply refuses to
accept the idea that the Yan
kees have the pennant prac
tically all locked up.
Jensen still feels the Red
Sox have a . chance and he's
bent on proving his point
even if he has to do it all by
himself.
The stocky San' Francisco
slugger certainly went about
it the right way Monday night
when he blasted his 14th
homer plus double and a
single to drive in four runs in
a 9-4 victory over Detroit.
Jensen's performance paced
the spurting Red Sox to their
sixth straight victory and
boosted them into a virtual
tie for second place IV2 games
behind the idle Yanks.
In his California home, Jen
sen keeps an autograpned pic
ture of Joe DiMaggio which
he obtained while both were
members of the Yankees. Di
Mag inscribed the photo this
way: . . '
"Make 'em all moan, Jackie
boy."
And that' exactly what
Jensen is doing. His home
run total is second in the Am
erican league only to Bob
Cery's total of 15, and Jen
sen's 44 runs batted in put
him only one behind the Kan
sas City outfielder, who also
leads that department.
Not bad for a fellow who
wanted to quit the game in
disgust after the Senators
peddled him to the Red Sox
five years ago.
Jensen's homer . Monday
night was a 400-foot wallop
that came with two men on
in the third inning and high
lighted a six-run rally.. The
homer off loser Paul Foytack,
was the blond belter's third
in two days.
It gave big Frank Sullivan
a lead that enabled him to
coast to his third victory via
a nine-hit effort.
Moore Gets Decision
But Lacks Knockout
Sacramento, Calif. (UPI)
Light heavyweight champ
ion Archie Moore, the for
ever man in the world of box
ing, worked up a good sweat.
Monday night, but could not
score his 127th knockout as
he took an easy decision over
Howard King.
Moore was trying to beat
a record he already equalled,
which was set - by Young
Stribling between 1921 and
1933. But though he floored
the 194Vi pound King three
tunes during the 10 round
bout, Moore was unable to
keep him on the canvas.
In three previous fights,
Moore had floored the Reno,
Nev., fighter a total of six
times. However, he has never
been able to keep King down.
Moore said he tried "to get
him (King) in the later
rounds, but he was too elus
ive. He's getting to be mighty
foxy, that boy."
The light heavy champion
did a good deal of road work
chasing King around the ring
for the first six rounds. Then
in the seventh Moore unbolt
Another three-run ' homer
by Gus Triandos helped the
Baltimore Orioles clip the
Cleveland Indians, 5-2, be
hind Southpaw Billy O'Dell's
four-hit hurling.
Triandos. slammed his 12th
homer off Cal McLish in the
first inning following singles
by Al Pilarcik . and Gene
Woodling. That proved to be
all the margin O'Dell needed
for his sixth victory against
seven defeats.
O'Dell Had It
J. W. Porter doubled home
two runs for Cleveland in the
bottom of the first inning.
O'Dell then settled down to
retire the next 16 batters be
fore Rocky Colavito singled
in the seventh inning.
Rain cheated the White
Sox out of an apparent vic
tory when it forced postpone
ment of a game against the
Senators with Chicago lead
ing, 7-1, in the fourth inning.
Early Wynn appeared to be
breezing to his sixth victory
when the game was called.
He had allowed two hits
while the White Sox raked
Al Cicotte and Chuck Stobbs
for nine, including three
singles by Billy Goodman and
a home run by Tito Francona.
Bob Purkey pitched Cin
cinnati into third place with
a 3-0 victory over San Fran
cisco in the only National
league game scheduled.
Purkey yielded only six
hits and didn't walk a batter
as he rolled to his fifth
victory in a row and eighth
of the season against a single
defeat.
Steve Bilko connected for a
two-run homer off left-hander
Johnny Antonelli in the
fourth inning and the Red
legs scored another run in the
seventh when Eddie Miksis
singled home Don Hoak.
Despite the defeat, their
ninth in the last 13 games,
the Giants retained first place
by three percentage points
over the Milwaukee Braves.
ed a hard, short right which
dumped his opponent into the
press section.
Undaunted, King scrambled
back into the ring before the
full count, only to run into
another smashing right that
dropped him for nine just be
fore the bell.
Once again, in the ninth,
Moore caught his younger op
ponent with a jolting right.
That one also sent King down
for a nine count. But he hung
on long enough to lose by a
decision. . .

National League Pennant
To Eight Teams Fighting
San Francisco (UPI)
The National league pennant
race is such a wide open af
fair that all eight teams are
in contention for the flag, a
jubilant Birdie Tebbets of the
Cincinnati Redlegs proclaim
ed Monday.
"We're up in third place,
now, said Birdie after watch
ing his team take three out
of four from the league lead
ing San Francisco Giants.
"We've won seven of our
last nine games. Our boys are
playing well.
"We have the best second
base combination in the en
tire league in Roy McMillan
at short and Johnny Temple
at second. We are getting
good pitching, fine fielding
and timely hitting.
"Our hitting didn't click at
first, but now we seem to be
getting the safe blows when
they count. We. have a fine
first base combination. We
can use Steve Bilko against
left-handers, George Crowe
against right-handers. And
they both hit well this way."

Tulsa, Okla. (UPI) Dr.
Cary Middlecoff was praying
for rain today.
When they start the coveted
U.S. Open golf championship
at Southern Hills country club
on Thursday the slender, nervous-mannered
dentist will be
one of the top favorites. But
even though he is rested and
refreshed, the two-time win
ner isn't looking forward to
four rounds in promised near-100-degree
heat.
' "I'd like to see some rain
or at least hope it stays
windy," he said as he arrived
to tune up for the big one.
"I'm not good in the heat and
without offering any alibi,
that's what beat me 'last
year."
The 6-2 Middlecoff gave it
a game effort when they went
at it over the Inverneus course
at Toledo last year. He
stroked home a curling 10
foot birdie putt on the 72nd
and final hole which tied
Dick Mayer, then virtually an
unknown, for the champion
ship. But in the playoff the
next day, Middlecoff was mur
dered as he posted a 79
against Mayer's 72.
"I was 15 pounds - under
weight at the time," he grins
now. "I was like a horse
which run a mile and a quar
ter and then drops dead. I
didn't have the gas for that
playoff 18 holes."
But the 37-year-old Middle
coff, in as fine a physical con
dition as he ever has been,
has high hopes if the heat
doesn't wear him out again in
those two final rounds on sus
penseful Saturday.
"I played in only four tour
naments all winter from the
time of the Open until the
Masters," he says. "I devoted
most of my time to my new
job at the Diplomat club in
Hollywood, Fla. and I have
worked hard on my game in
the last couple of months to
get ready for this one. I'm
driving better than ever and
everything seems to be fitting
together nicely."
Buck White, the ' veteran
Mississippi pro who is one of
Cary's aides in Florida, pro
fesses awe at the improve
ment in Middlecoff's game.
"He's hitting the ball a ton,
a long ton," Buck says vehe
mently in the jargon of the
pros, which, translated, means
that Middlecoff is hitting the
ball far, straight and hand
some. "He'll outdrive Snead
most of the time."
Which, among the pros, is
the supreme accolade.
But Middlecoff isn't wor
ried about' his game. He re
members the way he' folded
physically in the torrid heat
at Inverness last year and his
chief concern is his stamina.
That's why he's praying for
