The Yankees actually lead by 15 percentage points but they're all tied up in the games be hind column. Sievers, acquired from the Washington Senators for SI 25.0(H). has been swinging a productive bat. Despite his low batting average he ranks second to Minnie Minoso on the club with 10 runs baited in and he's knocked in at least one run in five of the White Sox' last six games. Celebrates With Homer Sievers returned lo Wash ington for the first time since the big deal Thursday night and celebrated with a first inning, two-run homer that paved the way for a 5-3 tri umph over the Senators. Bob Shaw gained credit for his second win although he need ed relief aid from Turk Lown in tiie eighth. The victory enabled the White Sox to remain one game ahead of the third-place Cleveland Indians, who bent the Baltimore Orioles, 11-6, mm4 LADIES GOLF WINNERS Mrs. M. L.

Giants Take On Pirates San Francisco - (IMI - Sam (Available) Jones will endea vor to get the San Francisco Giants off the backs of their laps tonight when he tangles with Vern Law of the league- leading Pittsburgh Pirates in a choice battle of right hand- ers. Jones, now 2-2, meets a sharp hurler in Law who has won his first four decisions without taking a loss and gone the distance each time. Cincinnati, which now has won four straight, handed the Giants their second straight one-run loss Thursday by besting them, 4-3, as Vada Pinson stole three bases. The fleet centerfielder from Oakland's McClymonds High took a hand in winning the game when he stole second and third bases during the eighth inning, then came home on a sacrifice fly by pinch hitter Willie Jones. LA Hands Off Panic Button Los Angeles-IUPP-The Los Angeles Dodgers took their hands off the "panic-button" today thanks to a sudden splurge of hitting that snapped a four-game losing streak. ' Back on the victory trail, the Dodgers looked forward to the arrival tonight of the Philadelphia Phillies and the opportunity to fatten their victories on the National league's doormat club. Bob Aspromonte, a 21-year- old Brooklyn - born rookie. was the big hero of Thurs day's 4-3 victory over the Milwaukee Braves, driving in the winning run in the bot tom of the 10th inning. That hit was the fourth of the day for Aspromonte, which included his first ma jor league homer in the sev enth inning. The entire lineup produced 14 hits off three Brave pitchers. Aspromonte was not the only hero. Norm Lin ker, who took over for the slumping Gil Hodges at first, got four hits in five times at bat and out fielder Don Demeter hit his fourth homer in the past five games.

OUTSTANDING New York -IUPD- Larry Hill man of the Providence Reds was named winner today of the Eddie Shore Award as the American Hockey league's outstanding defenscman for the 1959-60 season. it siPdDiRnrs Kentucky Derby Tension Mounting By AAY AYHES Louisville, Ky. - Kfb - Ten sion almost crackled in the air at Churchill Downs today where 14 colts await Satur day's running of the Kentucky Derby but nerves in the stable area are more relaxed than usual only one day before the big race. The man with the favorite carries the heaviest burden. But Bob Wheeler, who trains Tompion for C. V. Whitney, felt a lot more confident this time than he did a year ago. Track Taking Plumley s Time From current results in spring practice, it appears that Coach Tommy Prothro will field a starting eleven next fall composed of five seniors, and six juniors. Sophomore CUff Howery presently Is the No. 1 right tackle, but likely will yield to 6-5, 240-pound Neil Plum ley who has missed spring drills. He is the shotput ace of Sam Bell's track squad. As of right now, the starters are Aaron Thorns, sr., left end; Mike Kline, Jr. left tackle; Denny Pieters, Jr. left guard; Doug Bashor, sr. cen ter; John Cadwell, jr. right guard; Cliff Howery, soph, right tackle; George Thomp son, sr. right end; Marne Pal matcer, jr. blocking back; Don Kasso, jr. tailback; Ron Miller, sr. wingback; and Chuck Marshall, sr. fullback. Quarterback - Coach Joe Francis, who will direct the alum grid squad that meets the OSC varsity on May 28 at Parker stadium, already is conducting drills with alums still on campus. Some of those include John Sniffen, John Horrillo, Dwayne Fnurnier, Jim Stinnette, Nub Beamer, Derald Swift, Don Thiel, Bruce Hake, Denny Brundage, Dainard Paulson, Howard Ho gan and Larry Sanchez. Of course, the alums plan to "import" such performers as Sam Baker, Doug Hogland, Ted Bates, Jack Cotla, Bill Austin, Ralph Davis, Jack Hoxie, Ron Daniels, Jack Hogan and others. LEWIS ON CLINIC University of Oregon, Eu gene - John Lewis, baseball coach at Willamette Univer sity for the past 13 years, will be the guest coach at the Ore gon Coaching clinic June 13 17, it was announced by A. A. Esslinger, dean of the school of physical education. The summer clinic also will have Ray Eliot of Illinois in foot ball, Ossie Orsborn of Brad ley in basketball and Jug Beck of Missoula, Mont., in wrestling. Then he was "shooting at the moon" with a filly and now he says, "I wish we had run Silver Spoon in the Kentucky Oaks instead." Wheeler has been taken ill with an attack of alternating chills and fever with symp toms of influenza. But before the illness he radiated confi dence, although the haunting fear of injury gnawed at his peace of mind just as it does with every horseman with a good chance to win the first of the Triple Crown classics. Reasons for Confidence He was confident for many reasons. His colt had won four races in a row, including the Santa Anita Derby and the Blue Grass Stakes. After the Blue Grass Stakes he "went on to run the full mile ana one-quarter Kentucky Derby distance in the sparkling time of 2:01 4-5, fast enough to win all but three rose runs. Tompion has been training like a champion and is at his physical peak according to his veterinarian Dr. Jock Jacoy. Wheeler had nothing to fear if it rains, for Tompion has run several good races in the mud. Bally Ache, Tompion's chief rival in- America s thorough bred extravaganza, revels ir the mud, moving up several lengths in the estimation of most handicappers. Wheeler by no means thinks Tompion has a "boat ride" ahead of the first Triple Crown classic. He has a lot of respect for Bally Ache, for Venetian Way and for Vic toria Park, a colt "that runs hard races," he says. 2,480 Entries For U.S. Open New York - (UPD - The 1960 national Open golf champion ship attracted a record 2,480 entries, it was announced by the U.S. Golf association. Dick Mayer was the only "name" star who neglected to file an application as the en-, try list surpassed the 1959 record of 2,385. Mayer, as the 1957 cham pion, would have qualified automatically for the cham pionship at the Cherry Hills course at Denver, Colo., June 16-18. The last five winners and the low 10 scorers in last year's tournament are not re quired to participate in local or sectional qualifying rounds. This list includes defending champion Billy Casper, Jack Fleck, Cary Middlecoff, Tom my Bolt, Claude Harmon, Mike Souchak, Doug Ford, Ernie Vossler, Arnold Palm er, Dick Knight, Ted Kroll, Gene Littler, Fred Hawkins, Dow Finsterwald, Ben Hogan and Sam Snead.

Sincerely, PLYMOUTH DI Ducks Face Dcavcrs in Track Tiff University of Oregon, Eu gene - Oregon's Ducks, rolling long on string of six un beaten seasoni in th North ern division, will try to maks it 29 straight dual meet wins over seven year stretch Sat urday at Hayward Field when they wind up the dual meet season aginst the Oregon State Beavers. The Beavers, who haven'i won against the Webfoots since 1948, have one of the finest teams in OSC history, but would still need a major upset in the form chart to break the string this week. Regardless of the outcome of the team battle, some of the top individual competition in the history of the meet will take place Saturday. Oregon State College, Cor vallis - Oregon State's best track and field squad in a good many years faces what probably is the best Oregon team ever Saturday at Eugene in a northern division dual clash. Coach Sam Bell's Beavers have polished off four out of six dual opponents this spring, but still stand little chance to upset the high-flying Ducks. Oregon State does expect to make a highly - respectable showing, however, and close battles loom in a number of events. Only undefeated Beaver is sophomore javelin ace Gary Stenlund, who in addition to sweeping firsts at all six dual meets this season, also won his i event at the northern division relays. Stenlund never lost in dual competition as a fresh man, either. The Beavers will throw sev en all-time OSC record hold ers at the Webfoots. In this category are Amos Marsh, 100; Darrell Horn, low hurdles and broad jump; Don Martin, discus; Stenlund, javelin; Neil Plumley, shotput; and Norm Hoffman, mile.
