Pros Gardner Dickin son, Bill Collins and Ewing Pomeroy paced the nation with brilliant 36-hole totals of 135 and failures among the "name" players were infre quent.

Machen is a slight favorite, but Vargas is given a solid change because he likes toj fight, whereas Machen is strictly the boxer. Machen said today that his injured hand, which forced postponement of the fight for three weeks, had completely healed. "I'm using it without any trouble and it doesn't hurt me a bit," said Eddie. "All I needed was rest." Bisons Near First Place United Press International A pair of neat pitching jobs by Dallas Green and Hank Mason has vaulted the Buffalo Bisons to within striking distance of first place in the International League.

Giambra, once a top chal lenger for the title held by Sugar Ray Robinson, scored a unanimous decision Mon day night in the 10-round tus sle with Jones, the New York middleweight trial horse. It was the third straight victory for the good-looking Giambra, who is climbing back toward a top challen ger's spot after a seven months' layoff because of an elbow injury. Jones Virtually Unmarked -' Jones was virtually un marked today. But Giambra sported a beaut of a right eye. It was swollen nearly closed. There were vivid red marks around both eyes, and Mon day night when he climbed through the ropes after 30 minutes of Jones' punishing body blows, his left side looked like raw hamburger. Jones, who holds a non-title decision over Robinson,, said he thought he won, or at least he would get was a draw. "I threw more punches," he said. But referee Tom Attra scored it 99-94 for Giambra, and the two judges had it 99 93 and 99-95. The United Press International scorecard agreed with Attra. Giambra, weighing 156, used sharp counter - attack combinations to build up an easy lead over the two pounds heavier Jones. In the fifth Joey jolted Jones with a ser ies of lefts and rights on the button, but the New York battler survived the barrage and bored in to carry the battle back.

The crew - cut righthander will be opposed by Joey Jay (1-1) who sparkled last season with' the Braves as a rookie until being layed low by in juries. Sam Jones, who figured as Rigney's ace in the hole to get the Giants off to a good start against the National league champs, didn't have it Monday. He was cuffed for 10 hits as a crowd of 17,524 watched Milwaukee hammer out a 4-2 victory. Warren Spahn went the route for his fifth triumph. Mays Clubs Seventh Willie Mays clubbed the seventh homer of the cam paign in the fourth inning with nobody aboard to pull the Giants even, 1-1, after Johnny Logan's single had tallied Frank Torre in the Braves' half. The Milwaukee moved ahead to stay with another run in the fifth on Wes Cov ington's single and picked up two more in the sixth to ice things. The Giants staged some fire works in the seventh which produced one more run with Andre Rodgers' single driving it across. Then the rally conked out with two aboard as Leon Wagner bounced into a double play. Both Spahn and Jones said brisk winds that lashed the field affected their, curves. Spahn claimed he couldn't tell which way a ball would go. Jones said that it caused some of his sharp breakers to hang. Introduces the to buy ! 59 DODGE drive! money I DODGE DELIVERS 21.7 M.P.G. TO SCORE VICTORY IN PARSONS MOTORS tion from the New York State Athletic commission to attend the session. It was an invita tion, not an order. Their readiness to be hon ored guests at Sugar Ray's trial may have been inspired by curiosity about the certi fied check for $225,000 that Irving B. Kahn is offering Ba silio if he'll fight champion Robinson at Philadelphia on Sept. 21. DeJohn announced Monday night at Pittsburgh that he and Carmen would be present Wednesday. Johnny and Car men stopped off at Pittsburgh while en route from Syracuse, N.Y., to Weirton, W. Va., where they'll attend a fight hearing. Before Monday's hearing was adjourned to Wednesday, Robinson's attorney, Martin Machat, asked the commission to send for Carmen and Johnny. Machat wants them as de fense witnesses, who may ex plain their alleged reluctance to negotiate with promoter Sam Rose of Philadelphia and his agent, Harold Salkind, for the Philadelphia fight. Signs Solo Contract .. Robinson signed a solo con tract for the bout - their third rubber title match on May 12, and he has been offering Basilio the "biggest purse of his career" if he, too, would sign. ..But Carmen and co managers DeJohn and Joe Netro have been regarding the entire Philadelphia deal as a "phony," aimed at saving what's left of the Sugar man's title. The National Boxing Asso ciation vacated Robinson's 160-pound title on May 4 for his failure to defend in nearly 14 months. And the independ ent New York commission would have stripped him of the rest of his crown last Fri day, "the deadline," were it not for Robinson's shouted guarantees of a fabulous purse for Carmen. Accordingly, the commis sion instead of vacating Ray's title Friday - granted him this week's hearing in which-he must prove he has gone all out to make the Philadelphia match.

Parsons Quits Auto Race Sport Indianapolis, Ind.-fUPD-Race driver Johnnie Parsons dis covered during the 500-mile speedway qualifications he is too old and too slow at 1jie age of 40 to compete with the younger generation. He said he is quitting the big-car grind for that reason. When he was flagged by his own crew, it was the hand writing on the wall for the handsome California who had won the Memorial Day classic nine years ago. Since then, he has lost the heart to duel with younger men on the championship cir cuit, including the speedway race. Too Fast for Him , "This has gotten to be too fast for me," he said as he announced his retirement from big - time competition. "Oh, I think I could get out there and force in four quick laps-but believe me it would be forcing. And that's not the way to drive a race car." Parsons pushed his No. 45 roadster to the starting apron during last Saturday's time trials. When he was too slow, his crew gave him the yellow flag, the signal to get off the course. That was the tipoff for Par sons. He talked it over with his crew and some close friends, then announced . he would restrict his future rac ing to the midget, stock and sprint cars.
