Strongest Amateur
Field Challenges
Pros in U.S. Open
By LEO H. PETEMES
UPI Sports Ediior
Mamaroneck, N. Y. - (UFD -The
strongest amateur contin
gent in 26 years challenged
the field for the 59th U.S.
Open championship today, but
the betting was that none of
them would make it.
Only five amateurs in the
long history of the tourna
ment ever have mgde it - the
last one in 1933 when Johnny
Goodman won at Omaha.
This time, 26 of them, led
by U.S. amateur champion
Charley Coe, the thin man
from Oklahoma and British
Amateur king Dean Beman,
the collegiate golfing whiz
from the University of Mary
land, are competing against
,124 professionals. Percentage
wise it is the largest amateur
representation the Open ever
has seen.
"But it won't do them any
good, said defending champ

Inglewood, Calif-TOPD- Silky
Sullivan will try to turn back
th. clock at Hollywood Park
Thursday when the stretch
running . sensation. of 1958
makes his first stakes start
in more than a year.
Trainer Reggie Cornell, a
aatient man with a horse, be
lieves Silky filially is read
to try his luck in an addeC
money race and chose th.
$25,000 Golden State Breed
er's Handicap as a suitable
medium. -
With a field of about seven
indicated for the mile and a
sixteenth race, Silky's chief
competition would appear to
be Ying and Yang which fin
ished two heads back of Hills

Jockey Willie Shoemaker

whom he rode to victory in
the Santa Anita Derby a year

Bo winmnger, Bob Goalby,
Don Whitt, Walter Burkemo,
Claude Harmon. Tommy Ja

Beavers Drop Tiff,
But, Bats Give Hope

The Portland Beavers have
their batting eyes for certain
now and if their pitching can
just return to its recent form
they're apt to make a bid for
the Pacific Coast league pen

Portland dropped its sec

Tuesday night, 10-8, as left
hander George Brunet lost his
fifth straight game. But for
the second night in a row Salt
Lake had to chop off a Beaver
ninth-inning rally. This "time
Portland fell short with two
runs. '
But the strong Beaver hit
ting continued. Jim Green
grass smashed a three-run
homer in the fourth and
George Freese, the league
leading hitter, hit his 11th in
the eighth.
Portland maintained "its
third place ' position, half a
game ahead of Phoenix and
Vancouver. The Beavers are
now 4 games from the top.
Sacramento, showing signs
of slipping dropped a 5-2
decision to Spokane. San Di
ego downed Vancouver 6-1
and Phoenix took Seattle 10-9.
The Solons have now lost
four straight. They have
scored just seven runs in those
games and have made 25 hits.
And -none of the Solon hurl
ers has been able to go the
route.
Tuesday night, Spokane's
Connie Grob kept them sol
idly in check. He pitched his
seventh win in 10 decisions

hits. Tommy , Davis provided

California
Governor
Plans Probe
San Francisco (DPD The
probe on "gangland pressure"
in the boxing industry got
under way here today-pushed
along with the announcement
by Gov. Edmund G. (Pat)
Brown that he would have
special investigators assigned
to study the problems.
The state athletic commis
sion will conduct the. hearings,
which are expected to feature
Ralph Gambina, who "bought
in" on the contract of heavy
weight contender Rueben Var
gas for $500.
The commission does not
have anything listed on its
agenda that would call for fur
ther discussion of the promo
ter Jackie Leonard case. But
Gov. Brown does.
Leonard, who testified be
fore the commission last
month that Eastern mobsters,
including Frankie Carbo and
Blinky Palermo, were trying
to muscle into the fight game,
still is recovering from a beat
ing he received after the testi
mony. Determined
"I'm determined that that
kind of activity finds no place
in California," said Brown.
"Im going to ask Atty. Gen.
Stanley Mosk to assign some
of his investigators to the
athletic commission to find
the answers on who made that
attack on on Leonard." ,
The governor also said that
he would call in the U.S. de
partment of justice on the na
tional aspects of hoodlumism
in boxing after the state gets
into the investigation.
On a 24-point commission
hearing agenda, Gambina is
slated to be under discussion
at least four or five times
The commission will consider
fining him for conduct at a re
cent match in Palm Springs;
ask him to clarify some of his
charges that "fighters oppos
ing a Sid Flaherty boxer in
San Francisco can't get an
even break"; ask him why
Larry Boardman,' whom he
manages, withdrew from the
June 13 fight in Los Angeles;
and how he purchased an in
terest in Vargas for $500.
Group Has No
Intention To
Impede Baseball
Portland (DPS Clyde Per
kins, head of a new minor
league organization, said to
day it was not the intent of
the group in any way to im
pede the operation of base
ball or do anything detrimen
tal to its interests.
Perkins, vice president of
the Portland team of the Pa
cific Coast league, is presi
dent of the organization call
ed the Independent Baseball
Clubs association.
He was replying to criti
cism by George Trautman,
head of the minor leagues,
who was quoted as calling the
IBCA a maverick" organiza
tion which may do . more
harm than good by having an
upsetting effect on work be
ing done to create a new fund
for minor league clubs.
Perkins said, "I have just
read Mr. Trautman's press re
lease, stating that 'a house di
vided against itself cannot
stand. I agree 100 per cent,
for today the baseball house
is divided, between the haves
and the have-nots. Unless the
haves realize the position of
the have-nots, then baseball
could easily be doomed."
He said, "we believe the
majors are shortsighted in
letting the minors continu
ously, one after another, go
broke. They are driving our
customers from our ball parks
especially with their Satur
day and Sunday TV."
Added Perkins, "for this
loss of patronage we feel they
should divide with us ,the
money received for such an
invasion of our territories,
and is there anything rebel
lious, revolutionary, threaten
ing or maverickish to that?"

Solons Slump;.
Lead Narrows
United Press International
Take away a couple of
timely hits and the sharp
edge from ' the pitching and
you have a team in a slump
. '. . the Sacramento Solons.
The Sacs have been on top
of the PCL since the season
opened. They've never been
spectacular. They don't over
power you. They score with
a key double, the sacrifice
fly, and they make the most
of their opponents' mistakes.
Their pitching has been sharp
and steady and it has had to
be because the Solons don't
walk away with many games
in the early innings.
But the Sacs are in a slump
now and their lead is down
to only one and half games
over the persistent San Diego
Padres. They were beaten
Tuesday night 5-2 by Spokane.
