Floundering Up To Mge By MILTON AICHM& United Press International Just when everyone begins thinking the Braves have hit the skids, up pops Lew Eur-dette'- and that's all, brother! No questions but that Mil waukee had been floundering lately. The Braves had been shut but in their last, two games, had lost five of their last seven and had watched EEfueuj SLPdDDBTTS IFislhier SDnmfts Out Pdrtland leavers Mb (Done Hitter- By CON BECKER United Press International When the San Francisco Gi ants recalled Billy Muffett Tuesday to aid their ineffec tive bull pen staff they by passed Che Pacific Coast league's top hurler. Never was that more appar ent than Tuesday night when 22-year-old Eddie Fisher tossed a brilliant one-bitter against the Portland Beavers to register his 10th win of the season. The Oklahoma university graduate, who is a bookkeeper in the off-season, came within two outof tossing a nhitter. ituss anyaer ruinea n oy a sol id double to centerfield in the ninth. Fisher, 6-14, 200 pounds, struck out seven, walked three. Phoenix won, 6-0. If the big league Giants are reluctant to bring up Fisher it is probably only because they want to move him along gradually and prevent any shattering of confidence. Last season, freshman Fisher had a 11-7 mark for Corpus Christi in the Texas league after join ing the club in June. In other PCL action Tues-f day night, San Diego and Van couver, the two key contend ers for Sacramento's first place position, both lost. The Padres were beaten by Spo kane, 6-0, and Salt Lake clip ped the Mounties, 4-1. Rain postponed the Solon game at Seattle and the Sacra mento club now holds a two and a half game edge over San Diego and a three game margin over Vancouver.

Officials of the Southern Pacific Amateur Athletic un ion said O'Brien's put of 63 feet, 8 inches - six inches bet ter than his recognized mark - would be submitted as a na tional record. . Only 65 persons were on hand for the special meet, but it was enough of a crowd to "inspire" one of the most ded icated performers in. track annals. "Being a ham at heart," said Parry after the meet, "I don't think I could have set the record without them." - . , The meet consisted of two events - the shot put and dis cus - and there were only four entries in the-competition. But Alex Petrie and Tim Owens, records chairmen for the Southern Pacific 'district of the AAU, said everything was in order and O'Brien's tremendous heave met all re quirements for a record. Retirement Requested By Erslcine Los Angeles (UPD Los An geles Dodger pitcher Carl Ers kine, who has pitched two no hitters and whose won-lost mark of 122-78 is one of the best in major league ball, wants to retire because he feels he isn't helping the club. He is 0-3 this season. Erskine, 32, asked to be put oni.the voluntary retirement list even though he has only 23 days left to go. before be coming a 10 year man in the majors- Dodgers General Manager Emil J. Bavassi said he would pass the request along to Na tional league President War ren Giles. However, Bavasi said he tried to persuade Ers kine to stay for at least the next 28 days. Erskine declined on grounds he would be of little use to the club. He said he had a chance to join Camp Bauman at Oceanside, Long Island, N. U., youth organization, in August. , Si lorn Ma kes Player Chance Salem CDPD Several player changes were announced Tues flty by Karl Kuehl, manager of the Salem Senators, cur rently leading the Northwest league. Bbb rolkert, 22, outfielder who batted .307 for Sioux City of the western league last year, has been signed. Manny Carrasquel, owned by the Cincinnati Reds, was released and reassigned to Yakima. Outfielder Carl Hutzler, out with a sprained ankle for the last 37 games, returned to the active list. Kuehl said pitcher Dave Jordan and outfielder Dan Holden were put on the lodgers 5-4 four-run seventh inning rally that put Milwaukee in front, 5-0. "The Dodgers got to Bur dette for two runs' in the eighth , and then caused his removal when they put two men on base in the ninth. Charley Neal's single with the bases loaded off reliever Don McMahon gave the Dodgers their final two runs. Johnny Podres was the loser. Cincinnati nipped second place San Francisco, 2-1; St. Louis swept a twi-night twin bill from Philadelphia, 8-1 and 5-2, and Pittsburgh beat Chicago, 5-2, in other Nation al league games. , In the American league, Cleveland moved a full game out in front with a 4-1 vic tory over Boston, and New York defeated Chicago, 5-1. Rain washed out the Detroit Baltimore and Kansas City Washington games. Big Don Newcombe of the Reds beat the Giants for the fourth time this season when he limited them to six hits in gaining his seventh win. Mike McCormick, the loser, had a 1-0 lead until the eighth when a home run by Vada Pinson, a single by. Frank Robinson and a double by Frank Thom as gave Cincinnati its two runs. Misell Posts 8th Win Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Miz ell posted his eighth victory against three losses in the Cards' opening game triumph over the Phils. Rookie Ernie Broglio won his first major league game in the nightcap although requiring Lindy Mc Daniel's aid in the eighth. Gino Cimoli, who had three hits in the opener, belted a two-run homer in the night cap. The Pirates won their game from the Cubs with a four-run rally in the ninth. Don Hoak and winning pitcher Bob Friend each drove in two runs during the rally that broke a 1-1 tie. Friend was credited with his third victory al though Elroy Face made his 25th appearance of the sea son in the ninth. Cal McLish pitched the In dians to their seventh victory in a row while limiting the Red Sox to six hits. McLish struck out six and walked only two as he posted his sixth victory against three defeats. Art Ditmar, the Yankees steadiest pitcher of late, stopped the White Sox on four hits in outpitching southpaw Billy Pierce. Ditmar and Pierce were tied at 1-1 until the sixth when the Yanks scored two runs on' Mickey Mantle's triple - it should have only been a dou ble but Mantle kept right on running a bit batsman, Hec tor Lopez' ground-rule double and Bobby Richardson's sac rifice fly.. - LINESCORES: National League Pittsburgh .000 100 0045 9 2 Chicago 000 100 0012 8 0 rriena, race (M) ana iiravitz.

Wednesday, June 17, 1959 Johansson Bewilders Ex-Champ By JACK CUDDY Grossingers, N.Y.-flUD-Dip- lomatic Jack Dempsey gave off platitudes Joday, about "challenger Ingemar Johans son: "He's strong and rugged. He's got a good left, etc." : . But the expression on the old Manassa Mauler's Apache like face as he watched the reluctant Swede go round af ter round without throwing the $100,000 punch was one of brow -knitting bewilder ment. Close circuit television of Patterson world heavyweight title boxing bout on June 25 will be seen at the Craterian theatre here. Tickets are now on sale at the theatre. There will be no home TV of the bout. '. And the features of pro moter Bill Rosensohn, a slen der Lincolnesque young man, and Irving B. Kahn, rotund theatre-TV tycoon, seemed to sag. One punch! Just one explo sive right to the head for a knockdown! Only that would have been needed to send Dempsey into an ecstasy of admiration-and to bring sun bursts of delight to Rosen sohn and Kahn-and to add the Yankee Stadium gate on June 25. Acid Test June 25 That's the night when un beaten Ingemar will try to wrest the world heavyweight championship from Floyd Pat terson. But the knockdown punch never came during Johans son's seven rounds of sparring in the jammed ski lodge here Tuesday afternoon. Not one of the four sparmates was even staggered or knocked back onto his heels.' Dempsey, the most tigerish of all heavyweight champions the baleful belter who couldn't "pull" a punch even in training-sat there at the ringside, frankly puzzled. Those seven rounds com pleted a total of 151 sparred since the champion of Eu rope arrived in the United States-and as yet he hasn't scored a knockdown. Were Ingemar a light-hitting fancy- dan boxer that no-knockdown record might cause little com ment. Most Dangerous Right But the burly 198-pound Swede is supposed to possess the most dangerous right thunderbolt in the, heavy weight division. . During his 21 straight professional vic tories, he scored 13 knock-outs-mostly with, the right fist. And his most impressive performance was in his last fight, Sept. 14, when he knocked out Eddie Machen of Redding, Calif., in the first round at Goteborg, Sweden flooring him three times. Ma chen then was the world's top-rated contender". "I'll throw it against Pat terson," Johansson declared. "That's what I'm training for. It's the way I've always train ed. For me it's the successful way-the winning way, and I won't change it for this im portant fight, no matter what anyone says." Pro Football Season Tickets Selling Well New York (DPD National football League owners are smiling because the advance sale of season tickets already indicates the professional game will have another big year in 1959.

Unknowns Help Casper Get His Start San Francisco (DPD Billy Casper swings the clubs that won the all-important Nation al' Open golf championship, but a couple of unknowns named Dick Haas and Russ Corey of San Diego can take the bows for putting the ex sailor where he is today. When Casper got out of Uncle Sam's Navy in 1955 he didn't have two dimes to rub together. But he was a spec tacular shotmaker. So Corey and Haas, after watching his spectacular shot making, decided to finance him on the tournament tour. For about half of his re ceipts they would keep him in hamburgers, pay his caddy fees, transportation, entrance fees, etc., while he was on the tour. They would give him three years in which to make good. The expenses eventual ly ran to , about $1,000 per month. Success From The Start "But it was a financial suc cess right from the start," Cas per recalled a short time back. "I was lucky and, although not winning right away, ended up in the money." The agreement worked out so well for all concerned that it was kept in effect until last year, when Billy decided he could make it alone. , Most years during the con tract, Casper's earnings were high. Last year, they hit offi cial and unofficial $58,000. "It may have cost me some thing," says Casper, "but if it wasn't for these men, I never would have got on the road at all."
