By United Press Big Ernie Bonham, the New York Yankees' football master who wore a corset and slept on boards to relieve a back ailment last year, registered his seventh straight pitching victory of the season Wednesday as the Yanks downed the Philadelphia Ath letics, 8-3. Bonham, leading flinger of the current major league cam paign, allowed the A's seven scattered hits, and was assisted robustly by Outfielder Tommy Henrich who batted in four of the Yankees' eight runs with a homer and single. This victory enabled the champion Yanks to stretch their American circuit lead to four and a half games over Cleve land's Indians, who lost to the Chicago White Sox, 9-7, under a bombardment of 17 hits the most the Chisox have made in a game this year. Joe Kuhel led the Chicago barrage with four hits in five trips, including a homer in the third with two men on. Jim Bagby and Harry Eisen stat were the unfortunate Cleve land moundsmen. The St. Louis Browns downed Detroit, 5-2, behind Johnny Nig geling's pitching which tight ened in the clutches although al lowing 10 hits. It was Niggel ing's fourth victory against three defeats. The St. Louis Cardinals re placed Boston's Braves in sec ond position beating Pittsburgh, 8-3, while Boston lost to Brook lyn 4-1. Brooklyn's victory stretched the Dodgers' first place lead to six games. The Cardinals collected 12 hits off Rip Sewell and Lloyd Dietz on the Pittsburgh mound, and Martin Marion's eighth inning single drove in the win ning run. The largest mid-week Boston Braves' crowd in years, 10,265, saw the Dodgers beat the Braves as Whit Wyatt outlasted Jim To bin in a pitching duel. Brooklyn broke out of a 1-1 tie in the ninth with a three-run burst, bunching three safeties, a triple by Mickey Owen and a walk. Wyatt held the Braves to five hits, while Tobin was found for seven. Cincinnati walloped the Chi cago Cubs, 10-1, in the second game of a benefit show for the army and navy relief funds at Chicago. In the first game. Great Lakes defeated Camp Grant,' 4-1, for the service championship of northern Illinois. Cincinnati routed Paul Erick son with a seven-run attack in the fourth inning, a spree fea tured by Gerry Walker's homer with three mates aboard. In a night game at Philadel phia, the New York Giants blast ed out a 6-2 decision over the hapless Phils and moved into a tie for fifth place with the de scending Pirates.

In First PGA Round , By OSCAR FRALEY ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, May 28 (UP) Dapper Jimmy Dem aret shot his best golf since dom inating tournament play in 1940 when he conquered Defending Champion Vic Ghezzi, 4 and 3, in the first round of match play for the PGA championship at Seaview country club Wednes day. Demaret, a chunky Texan who faded into obscurity last year, came from behind to beat the hulking army corporal as the nation's crack professionals staged the greatest assault on par in PGA history. The pros took the course apart with the 16 survivors shooting a total of 57 strokes under par for their rounds. Head men in the attack were slamming Sammy Snead, who clipped nine strokes on 30 holes in a 7 and 6 win over Sam Byrd, and Ky Laffoon, who cut eight strokes off par for 25 holes in a 12 and 11 win over Vic Bass, Keokuk, la. But Ghezzi and Byrd, the for mer Yankee outfielder, had good company as they went out. Vic tims as the 32-man field was halved included Former Cham pion Denny Shute, Jimmy Hines, Dick Metz, Long-Hitting Jimmy Thomson, Dutch Harri son and Ben Loving. The crowd was intent on Snead and Byrd. The two Sams waged a tight match on their first 18 when Snead finished two up on the strength of a four un der par 68. But when the Vir ginia hill-billy got really hot, finishing up with five straight birdies for a total nine under par on the 30 holes to celebrate his 30th birthday. National Open Champion Craig Wood clipped par by six strokes over the 32 holes route in turning back Rod Munday, Toledo, O., 5 and 4. Leland Gib son of Kansas City, Mo., joined the parade by hacking seven strokes off regulation figures in a 10 and 9 win over Jim Gauntt, Longview, Tex. ' SOARING SKYSCRAPER Canyon, Tex.

By FRED HAMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer About the most optimistic fore cast of any of the northwest sports writers on the Pacific coast track and field circus in Seattle Saturday is four first places for the Northwestern col legians, 11 for the Calif ornians. Most of the writers haven't bothered their heads too much about the meet since the Cali fornia schools particularly USC usually hog cinder honors na tionally and it goes without say ing they murder such sectional upstarts as Oregon, OSC, Wash ington, Idaho, Montana and WSC. Al Stump of the Vancouver Columbian, who seems to keep a pretty accurate set of books on northwest cinder men, can't see more than four northwest wins. He likes Pat Haley of WSC in the low hurdles (after a terrific battle by Hcrtcl of Stanford), Gene Swanzey of Washington in the half mile (in about 1 minute, 54 seconds), Noel Williams of WSC in the mile, and either Clawson of Mon tana or Anderson of Idaho in the discus. Al sees almost certain victory for " Hal Davis, the California streak, in the sprints; Cliff Bour land of Southern California in the 440; Leroy Weed of USC (who does 9:17 while the rest try to crack 9:30) in the two-mile; Ed Stamm of Stanford in the shotput (he can't miss); Bob Biles of California (only lad in the league able to top 200 feet) in the javelin; Guinn Smith of Cal or Schacfer of USC in the lAJNIII lUWINO CO.

The cx-Salem W1L terror, ap parently had plenty on the ball but he couldn't get it over the pla.tc often enough. The Angels only got one run off him in four innings but he was in dif ficulty almost all the time, main ly because of seven walks. However it was Hclser's first work in a week. Probably the best 18 holes of golf in Oregon last Sunday were played by Lcs Conyers of Eu gene, who whacked five strokes off par on that city's Laurcl wond course to capture the club's spring tournament. Laurel wood's par is 72. When Oregon State slipped, Oregon stepped forward this scholastic year to give the state all three major northwest cham pionships. OSC in football (all the way to the Rose Bowl) and basketball (northwest title), and now Oregon in baseball. High School Track Coach Killed by Pupil's Discus Toss HATBORO, Pa May 28 (?)
