Ilv MILTON RICHMAN
I'nilfd Pres Sporli Writer
The key to first place will be
In the cellar toniRht In the keep
ing of the last-place Baltimore
Orioles.
"Frankly. I don't give a hang
vnetner cicveiana, unicago or
New York wins the Pennant If we
can't win It ourselves." says Balti
more Manager Paul Richards.
But tonight, anyway, Richards'
Orioles will determine which club
Khali lead the American League,
Here's why:
The White Sox arc a half-game
out of first place but thev can
take over the top rung by two per
centage points u they sweep
twl-night doublcheader with the
lowly Orioles tonight. The pbcp
setting Yankees, who meet the Ti-
gcrs in a night game, can't do a
thing about stopping Chicago even
If they beat Detroit.
Richards, who left the White Sox
nt the end of last year to come
to Baltimore, thinks Chicago "has
the necessary pitching to win the
pennant," but he doesn't intend
to make It easy for his old ball
club.
TROUBLESOME
The Orioles have given the
White Sox as much, if not more,
trouble than any other club In the
league this season and Richards
says there's liable to be a lot more
Jn store for them.
Marty Marlon, who succeeded
Richards as White Sox manager,
has nominated Virgil (Fire)
Trucks and Sandy Consuegra for
tonight's tell-tale twin-bill while
Erv Palica and George Zuverink
Will pitch for Baltimore.
The Yankees, who Just swept
tK.ee games In a row from the
Orioles, will rest their hopes on
fastballcr Bob Turley against Ti
ger rookie Frank Lary.
Cleveland, only game out of first
place, will send southpaw strike
out ace Herb Score against Prank
Sullivan of Boston In another key
night game while in the other
American League contest, Alex
Kellner of Kansas City is .sched
uled to face Bob Porterfield of
Washington.
Over in the National League,
where Brooklyn's lead has recent
ly been shaved from 16 games to
a "mere" 11, the Dodgers will find
out how much good Monday's 90
minute batting drill did when they
meet the Cubs.
OFF-DAY
All big league clubs enjoyed an
oli-day Monday but Dodger Man
ager Walter Alston, concerned by
9 losses in the last 13 games, put
his charges through an hour and
a half batting drill.
Don Newcombe will go after his
19th victory for the fifth time to
night against Bob Rush, who will
be shooting for is 11th triumph.
The Milwaukee Braves, who
still entertain faint pennant hopes
themselves, oppose Robin Roberts,
the majors' only 20-game winner.
At Philadelphia, with Lew Burd
elte going for Charlie Grimm's
second-place crew.
In the other two National League
night games, Willard Schmidt of
the Cardinals was nominated to
ro against southpaw Johnny An
tonelli of the Giants, while Vein
Law was the choice of the Pirates
to face Art Fowler of the Red
legs. Bv UNITED TRESS

Records Show
Bobo Has Lost
Vital KO Blow
By HAL WOOD
I'nlted Press Sports Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Has
Carl (Bobo) Olsjn, the middle
weight champ, lost his punch?
"Positively not." says Sid Fla
herty, the manager.
But the records show that Olson
has won his last four fights, ex
clusive of the knockout by Archie
Moore, by decisions: that he has
knocked out only five opponents
out of his last 15 fights.
This compares with an over-all
record of 30 knockouts scored In
71 bouts.
TUNE-CP
Olson meets Joey Giambra, the
likable Buffalo, N.Y., battler here
on Friday in a tune-up for the
Sugar Ray Robinson title bout
later this fall.
"Bobo still has the knockout
punch." says Flaherty, "but he
hasn't been using it as much. You
know, it Is important that he go
the full 10 rounds some times.
That's the way he gets in condi
tion. He can do that with guys he
figures to handle easily.
"Of course, he can't lake any
chances with Giambra. Joey is one
of the greatest middleweighl-s in
the world today.
"This Is by all odds the toughest
warm-up fight we've had."
The records show that Giambra
has knocked out 24 men in his 45
fights. He has 17 decisions. 3 de
feats and a draw.
While Olson was winning deci
sions over the likes of Jimmy
Martinez, Joey Maxim, Willie
Vaughn and Ralph (Tiger) Jones
in his last four outings. Giambra
has piled up a knockout list al
though against obviously weak op
position. KAYOED THREE
He put the sleeper on Andy An
derson, Andy Watkins and Sher
man Williams, and decisioned
Jimmy Welsh o far this year. As
a private in the Army, stationed
at Ft. Hood, Tex., he hasn't been
able to campaign in the better
ranks.
But with victories over such
men as Halo Scorlichinl. Danny
Womber and Joey Giardcllo. he
has to rank, at the young age of
24, as one of the world's top mid-
dleweights packing a kayo wal
lop. Flaherty says Olson won't both'
er to try and make this one lasi
10 rounds.
"Bobo will have lo try and
knock out Giambra any chance hp
gets, from the first round on,
says Flaherty.
This bout, of course, will be
fine chance for Olson to prove if
he still has the knockout punch

Broncs Beat
Wenatchee In
NWL Twin Bill.
By T1IK ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Leviston Broncs, battling
desperately to get backinto the
Northwest League pennant scram
ble, bumped Wenatchee twice Mon
day night, and regained third place
in the standings.
The twin victories, by 14-4 and
6-5 margins, put the Broncs a sin
gle percentage point ahead of the
Salem Senators, who split a pair
at Tri-City. Both contenders are
4 ' j games back of the pace-setting
Fugetie Emeralds, who were idle.
The double loss dropped Wenat
chee V'z games back.
Salem beat Tri-City 5-1 in the
seven-inning opener at Kennewicx,
but the Braves bounced back to
take the regulation nightcap, 4-2.
Yakima outlasted Spokane, 7-5 in
10 innings, at Spokane.
Lewiston pushed across five runs
in- the eighth inning of the night
cap to wind up its sweep of the
double bill with Wenatchee. We-
natchee led 5-1 when the Broncs
came to bat. The- Broncs tucked
away the abbreviated opener with
a five-run outburst in the first in
ning. Bob Ward went the distance for
Yakima in the single game at
Spokane, allowing six hits, and
crossed the plate with the winning
run In the 10th. Spokane manager
Eddie Lake protested the game,
contending the triple that scored
Ward landed in foul territory. Lake
was bounced and the Indians failed
to score In their half of the inning.
Three Tri-City errors set the
stoho tor four Salem runs in the
Third inninc of the first game at
Kcnnewick. Gene Kanselll doubled
in two with the game's only extra
base blow. Dwayne Helbig'n fourth

relief Job. The loss went to Bob

BROOKLYN OP Is Uie panic on?
Are the Brooklyn Dodgers going
to blow the National League pen
nant? Lo.icrs of of their last 13
games, the Brocks open a 16-gamr
stand at Ebbets Field tonight
against the Chicago Cubs,
They're 11 games In front and as
calm as though they had wrapped
up the flag two weeks ago.
This isn't a letdown." said
Manager Walt Alston. "No one
person can be blamed. We're Just
laving a general slump. Everyone
has stopped hitting at the same
time.
"The pitching hasn't been too
bad but we've been losing the
close ones for lack of timely hit-
ung.
The panic Is on." lauahed
Jackie Robinson, sarcastically.
shaking his hand. "I figuro we re
13 games ahead, because that's
tne Important side of the stand
ings. "I still need some work 'to get
in top snapc because of my knee
Bu'. it doesn't bother me at all.
I'll be fit for the World Series."
Duke Snider, who has been hit
ting an anemic .190 the past four
weeks, is beginning to get dis
couraged. "I Just can't understand It," he
said, shaking his head. "I am sim
ply awful and no one can tell ine
the reason. Maybe that long
batting practice I took yesterday
will help.". i
The Duke was out swinging for
half an hour before the rest of
the players showed up at Ebbets
Field yesterday. He came away
with blisters on his hands.
Even Don Newcombe, who
spends his time pinch hitting when
he's not pitching, was disgusted.
He went up three times over the
past weekend and 'didn't come
through.
"I feel like quitting this busi
ness," he said sadly, "and going
back on a truck."
