With husky Hodges out of the regular lineup from July 23 to Aug. 23 with a severe ankle sprain, the Dodgers dropped from games back of league-leading San Fran cisco to 4'i games behind. But the one-time hero of Brook lyn is back now, and the Dodgers are starting to move upward.

Baumer belted a pair of home runs - one a bases-loaded shot -and Fran cis twirled a five-hitter while leading the Bees to a 12-0 victory. The recent announcement of the transfer of the Giants' franchise to Tacoma-and the continued apathy of Phoenix baseball fans-must take the blame for the meager turnout of 305. It was the smallest at tendance at Phoenix since the club entered the PCL in the spring of 1958. Portland Loses The victory kept the Bees a half game in front of second-place Vancouver in what has developed into a two team battle for first place. Vancouver defeated Portland, 7-1, in the only other game played, the rest of the league taking the night off. ' Phoenix now has been shut out seven times in its last 23 games, and has dropped 17 of its last 18 starts. Francis had little trouble with the Giant batters Mon day night, striking out 10. Baumer drove in six runs with his pair of homers, and R. C. Stevens sent home two more with a round-tripper in the sixth. The loss went to starter Bud Watkins, the first of three Phoenix pitchers. In the Portland-Vancouver contest, Erv Palica scattered six hits while picking up his 11th wu of the season. The Mounties collected nine hits off a trio of Portland hurlers, icing the game with a three run, burst in the first. Jim Greengrass belted , his 23rd home run of the season to' score the only Portland tally. The loss was the slump ing Beavers' fifth in a row, dropping them four games off the pace.

FIGHTS New Orleans Ralph Dupas, 144, New Orleans, outpointed Mel Bar ker, 146, Austin, Tex, (12). over the Philadelphia Phils. It was a mighty big win for the Bums, because it snapped a three-game losing streak that had imperilled their pennant hopes, it boosted them into second place ahead of the Milwaukee Braves, and it moved them within 3Vi games of the Giants. Friend Blanks Giants The stage was set for Los Angeles to move up when Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh Pi rates blanked the Giants, 6-0, on 12 hits and young Bob An derson of the Chicago Cubs blanked the Braves, 3-0, on six hits in the only other games played in the National League Monday. In the only American league games, the Chicago White Sox boosted their league lead over idle Cleveland to two games by beating the New York Yan kees, 4-2, and the Baltimore Orioles crushed Detroit, 11-0. Hodges started the Dodgers on the road to victory when his bases-loaded single high lighted a four-run rally in the first inning against rookie Ed Keegan. He clinched the game in the second when he clouted a three-run homer, his 20th, also off Keegan. Lefty Koufax fanned 13 Phillies in gaining the win. Eleven Dodgers also whiffed and that tied another record the major league mark of 24 strikeouts by two teams in a nine-inning game. Oulduels Burdetle .

At that age he stood silio and Gene Fullmer, the two young bulls who battle for the middleweight title at San .Francisco Friday night, have much in common. -Both started boxing at the tender age of eight. -Each have similar slug ging styles. -Each won and lost right back to Ray Robinson the now vacated title. -Both are happily married "home folks" who dote on their children. -Each is an ardent hunter and fisherman. -Both are breeders. But there the similarity ends. For while Fullmer rais es mink, Basilio breeds hunt ing dogs. It is, in a way, the story of the fight. Because come Fri day the feeling in this corner is that it's going to be a bad night for the mink market and. Fullmer well may feel like a future lady's furpiece harried by Basilio's beagle pack. Friendly Enemies Basilio and Fullmer are friendly "enemies." Each is highly complimentary of the other's courage and rough house ability. And this mu tual admiration may be the reason why, although each lost the last duke to Robin son, both men voice the be lief that this will be their toughest fight. "I made just one mistake against Robinson the second time," Fullmer, said today by telephone from San Francis co. "I let him hit me on the chin. It was the biggest error I ever made because anybody can knock you out with one shot if it lands just right." Basilio, Fullmer contended, is not a one-punch stopper. "But he'll be rougher than Robinson because he fights three minutes of every round while you have to chase Rob inson for two and' one-half minutes of every round," claimed the 28-year-old Mor mon mauler from West Jor dan, Utah. Fullmer, who was named after Gene Tunney and idol izes Jack Dempsey, began boxing at eight while watch ing amateurs train in an old RV Club Title Links Tourney Play Completed Finals in all flights of the men's match play golf tourna ment at Rogue Valley Country club have been played. Jim Sheldon's 3 and 2 win over Phil Mongrain in the championship flight previous ly was announced. Clayton Lewis took the first flight in a 20-hole match with Ivan Harrington and John Jensen won the second flight finale from Joe Moore. Tom Van Etten defeated Clark Mears 4 and 2 in the third flight concluder. Dr. Abner Clark won by the same score in the fourth bracket final over Dr. Roland Mayer. Curt Butterfield copped the fifth flight, downing Floyd Baker 5 and 4. Dr. Ralph Odell took low gross prize with a 73 over the week end at the Medford Links. Larry Butler shot a 75 and Justin Smith Jr., a 76. Ivan Harrington had low net with a 68. Firing 70 nets were Tom Tytle, Ed Gordon and .Nelson Gallant. Seventy ones were carded by Ranny Smith, Gain Robinson, Jim Quincy and Walt Shaylor. MORTON GETS NOD Reno. .

Football Too Rough "I played basketball and football in high school," he said, "but they were too rough." So he devoted full time to boxing and won a number of amateur titles before turning professional. He had won 17 straight before entering the Army and serving 12 months of a two-year hitch in Korea. Basilio's story is much the same. Built along the same rugged lines, Carmen also came up through the ama teurs, enlisted in the Marines at 17 and spent 24 months on Guam and. at Pearl Harbor. Basilio has an edge in pro fessional experience, at 32 having had 74 bouts of which he won 54, and lost 13 and kayoed 27. Fullmer in 53 bouts has won 49, lost four and flattened 21 rivals. But the odds-makers have made Carmen an 8 to 5 choice in this one and from here it sounds like a solid numerical proposition. The little onion farmer can take a tremendous amount of punishment and you have to go with a beagle against a mink any day , and twice on Friday. Basilio 8 '5 Choice In Fullmer Scuffle New York-dJPD - Carmen Basilio is favored at 8-5 to beat Gene Fullmer in Friday night's middleweight title fight, which features this week's boxing. The two ex-champions are fighting in the San Francisco Cow Palace for the vacant Na tional Boxing Association ver sion of the 160-pound crown. The NBA had vacated Sugar Ray Robinson's title on May 4 because of his failure to de fend in more than a year. Basilio of Chittenango, N.Y., is favored to recapture the championship because of his sharper hitting. Fullmer, West Players Want All-Star Tilts In 4-Day Period Philadelphia-(UPD - Major League players are in favor of two all-star games next year, providing both games are played within a four-day period. In a vote among approxi mately 400 players, they ap proved of to two all-star games for next year only if the games are played during the same four-day break in the sched ule. The players went on record as being against two separated games as was the case this year when the first game was played in Pittsburgh in July and the second one in Los Angeles in August. The players also endorsed three other resolutions, in volving pensions for' man agers, the hiring of a new law firm and the policy of no night games on getaway dates. Jordan, Utah, is a persistent mauler who lacks explosiven ess. Each won and lost in title fights with Robinson.
