. Pittsburgh (UPD The San
Francisco Giants hustled into
town today for a crucial four
game series with the fourth
place Pittsburgh Pirates after
narrowly averting a second
doubleheader disaster in Phil
adelphia last night.
A ' couple of old World
Series heroes Johnny An-
tonelli and Dusty Rhodes
prevented the Giants " from
dropping their second twin
bill of the . season to the
Phillies. ; !

Olmedo Might Face
Disciplinary Action
River Forest, 111. (UPD The
U.S. Lawn Tennis association
today considered disciplinary
action against Alex Olmedo
who was kicked out of the Na
tional Clay Courts tournament
for not trying.
The 23-year-old sparkplug
of the U.S. Davis Cup team
and holder of the Wimbledon
singles crown went down in
listless defeat against South
African Abe Segal, 6-2, 6-1,
6-0, Thursday and left the
court amid loud boos from a
disappointed crowd at the Ri
ver Forest Tennis Club.
Segal said Olmedo told him
he "threw thematch."
"I came here to play tennis.
I don't like to win that way,"
Segal said.
Olmedo's burst of tempera
ment threw the tournament
into a uproar. The Peruvian
walked off the court and hur
ried from the dressing room to
his hotel room, refusing to
speak to anyone.
Olmedo later said through
Perry Jones, captain of the Da
vis uup team, tnat ne was
"sorry about the whole thing."
Olmedo, Jones said, would
"talk to everybody later" to
explain his actions.
Lreorge uarnes, first vice-
president of the USLTA, said
tnat a protest nad been re
ceived from the tournament
committee.
"It will likely consider dis
ciplinary action," , he said.
"What it will be, I don't
know."
Strange Named
Seattle Coach
: Seattle -(UPD- Alan Strange
was moved up Thursday from
the position of interim man
ager to that of full time field
leader of the Pacific Coast
league Seattle Rainier base
ball club.
Strange, named as a tempo
rary replacement as manager
for Fred Hutchinson, who de
parted for the greener pas
tures in Cincinnati July 8,
will boss the Rainiers for at
least the balance of the cur
rent season. Strange's salary
was not disclosed by owner
Emil Sick. '
Sick made his managerial
choice after watching Strange
in operation through eight
games, of which the Seattle
nine won five, all on the road.
Good Background '
"Alan has a very fine back
ground and has done good
work in teaching young ball
players," Sick said. "I feel
his past efforts show he is de
serving of this chance."
Strange was a coach with
the, Rainiers this season be
fore Hutchinson left. He was
also a Rainier coach in 1955.
His other managerial ex
perience came in the old West
ern International Class B
League when he served terms
as pilot of the Bremerton and
Spokane teams.
A Seattle favorite and
Hutchinson's personal choice
as his successor, Strange play
ed shortstop for the Rainiers
from 1936 to 1939 before
moving up to the big leagues
with the St. Louis Browns.
Seattle is in last place in
the PCL, but has moved to
within seven games of first
place under Strange's direc
tion.

Weihersfield, ConnOJPI)-
Gene Liltler of Singing
Hills, Calif., who is happy
to admit that he once again
is at the peak of his game,
carried a two-stroke lead to
day into the second round
of the eighth annual Insur
ance Open golf tournament.
Littler, who only recently
emerged from a long slump,
fired a seven-under-par 64
over the Wethersfield course
Thursday to show the way to
a field of 156.

six players tied at 68, includ
ing pre-tourney favorite ' Art
Wall, the Masters champion
from Pocono Manor, Pa.
All told 34 golfers broke
par although the course was
still soaking from rain.
That was one of the best
rounds of my career," said
Littler. "I never putted bet
ter." '
The figures confirmed Lit
tler's observation. He was
close to perfection as he hit all
the greens in regulation fig
ures and then used only 29
putts. He capped his perform
ance by sinking a 40-footer on
the 18th green.

Ohio amateur champion, Betty
Kerby, all who had par 71s.

an even par 35. She hit every
green in regulation figures,

first hole for a birdie 2.

aht four-game series tonight

With the league-leading

Sam Jones (12-9), is man
ager Bill Rigney's choice to
take the mound for the Giants

the winning run in the 1954
series that gave Antorielli his
victory .over Cleveland, hit a
line drive over, second base

able to keep the Giants under
control. - "

14th of the season against four
losses. It was his third shutout
in his last four outings, his

"New York-flJPD-There is a
steadily increasing belief
among the fight mob today
that Rocky Marciano will
make a comeback.
Marciano has denied repeat
edly that he will. Yet the
three-fold attraction of better
than one million dollars, re
newed acclamation and the
stubborn belief of any cham
pion that he "can take these
bums around today" is a mer
ciless goad.
These are prospects which
have proved an irresistable
lure to almost every former
heavyweight champion.
Gus Lesnevich, the former
light heavyweight champion,
voiced what most Of them
feel recently when he said:
' "I don't know how many
times, when I look around at
some of the guys fighting to
day, I have wanted to make
a comeback."
It's always there in the back
of their minds. They forget,
in most instances, that the
flipping pages of the calendar
have padded them with the
Fuel From Grain
Tests Suggested
Washington-(UPD-The House
Appropriations C o m m i ttee
recommended today that the
government investigate the
possibility of extracting fuel
from grain by bombarding it
with radiation.
The committee included
$10,000 for a study of this
project in a $2,629,114,000
money bill to run the Atomic
Energy Commission in the
fiscal year that started July
1. President Eisenhower did
not request the grain-fuel
funds. Rep. Ben F. Jensen (R
Iowa) told AEC Chairman
John A. McCone at a closed
door hearing last month that
he hoped atomic scientists
could discover how to extract
alcohol from grain by use of
radiation. .
Jensen said in the testimony
made public today that this
would help reduce.' -the sur
plus of wheat and other grain
and at the same time provide
motor fuel. '
suet of indolence and robbed
them of their skills. They see
themselves as they were in
the days of their glory and
the results all too often are
pathetic and pitiful.
Yet most of them, all the
way back to the mighty John
L. Sullivan, have given the
comeback f a try. The great
John L. had "two bouts after
a four-year layoff and quickly
decided that he no longer
could "lick any man" in the
house." ' '
Gentleman Jim Corbett was
next and, returning after
three years, was bombed out
by Jim Jeffries. Bob Fitzsim
mons laid off five years and
knew he "had it" after one
no decision return. Jeffries
after six years away from
the ring, went in against Jack
Johnson and was murdered.
Marciano retired in April
of 1956 but actually has been
away from the ring wars al
most four years because his
last bout was" against Archie
Moore in September of 1955.
Age and weight are addition
al factors of delusion in his
case.
The Rock was 29 when he
won the title, which is a de
layed arrival
business
in a
bruising'
the
dedicated to
young. He will be 36 in Sep
tember and, while, you can
point to. such successful an-,
cients as Jersey Joe Walcbtt''
and Moore, it must be remem
bered that they stayed active
and avoided the rust which
comes in the middle years. .
Marciano was 189 pounds
in his last bout. He can claim
otherwise but those who have
seen him recently must esti
mate that, he has ballooned
to somewhere in the over
stuffed .neighborhood of 225
pounds-and up. Working off
the excess would be a killing,
chore for even his current
chores of acting as a rassling
referee have "failed to slim
him. -'
If Marciano is trembling on
the brink of a comeback, he
need only remember th fate
of two former rivals to take
another look at the situation.
He should remember the
comeback of Joe Louis, which
he himself destroyed in Madi
son Square Garden on an Oc
tober night in 1951. And as
the once mighty Brown Bomb
er lay at his feet, the myth
of his indestructability shat
tered, Rocky confessed:
"I felt terrible at doing that .
to him."
And there is Ezzard Charles,
twice 'the victim of Marci
ano's blows, who retired in
1956-and is a caricature of
his old dancing self as he
makes an anonymous come
back this year.
