Then, Lm going into the California National Guard at Camp Roberts for several weeks." Scanlon, 22, a freshman student in physical education, made his national television debut in his lightweight bout with Rogers, also 22. The young West Coast sensa tion now has scored 18 decisions and 10 knockouts. There is one draw on his record. ' Rogers, who stayed on fairly even terms with Scanlon until the ninth round, said of his opponent: "He's a very, very good fighter, lie. is very fast, but not too im pressive as a puncher. However, I think he can go a long way in the lightweight division. He is quick and smart." Scanlon's manager Art Ben jamin, a Maritime Union business agent, said: After Bobby is in the National Guard we'll start dickering for another national TV shot. But, we don't know who he's going to fight next." Neither Scanlon nor Rogers landed any telling blows up until the ninth. Then Scanlon staggered Rogers with his right and pum meled him almost at will. Scanlon weighed l.Wi to Rogers' 134.

ALL STATE STORES A t. 1 I-- ft Agaioa Phillies Bow, 7-6 To Giants By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS They may have the best pitch ing in the league, but the failure to find a replacement for sore armed Bob Buhl has been one reason the Milwaukee Braves haven't been able to take charge of that National League pennant race. Another reason is the San Fran cisco Giants. But the Giants wouldn't have much more than a percentage- point edge if Manager Fred Haney could find another starter who could get the job done. He tried Gene Conley again last night, had to hoist the big right hander in a comeback rally and finally wound up with a 7-4 defeat in 12 innings by the St. Louis Car dinals. That plunked the Braves two games behind San Francisco again as the Giants scored three in the ninth for a 7-6 victory at Philadelphia. The Chicago Cubs rapped Cincinnati 6-4 with Ernie Banks cracking a pair of home runs. Los Angeles trimmed Pitts burgh 7-1. In the American League, sec ond-place Kansas City gained its first scries sweep over New York, beating the first-place Yankees 4 3. Detroit won its fifth in a row, beating Boston 4-2. Cleveland took third place, defeating Baltimore 5-2. The Chicago White Sox belted Washington 13-3 behind Jim Wil son's three-hit pitching. Cards 7, Braves 4 The Braves, who left Buhl be hind as they took off on a 16 game road trip today, were blanked after scoring three in the sixlh for a 4-3 lead. The Cards tied it in the ninth on a walk and Don Blasingame's triple. Pinch hitter Hobie Landrith started the scoring in the three-run 12th with an RBI single with the bases loaded off Humberto Robinson, Milwaukee's fourth and losing hurler. Gene Green's fly ball and the Braves' third error got the oiner iwo runs across. Billy Muffett won his first in re lief of Larry Jackson.

They are the qualifiers for the Indianapolis 500 Friday and de spite the dangerous, gruelling ride in front of them these arc the worst hours of all. The late Wilbur Shaw, a three-time winner, summed it up best when he thought of the hours just before the man with the flag announced: 'Gentlemen, start your en gines. Shaw was the first man to win it three times and had it won a fourth when he piled into the wall. Yet, even to him, it was always the same in those last waiting hours. "It never changed." he said. My stomach got full of butter flies. My heart was in my throat. Every organ in my body acted in some strange manner and every nerve was screaming 'Let's go.' " TENSION DISAPPEARS Only when they barrel into that first turn, one of the most heart- stopping moments in sports, does the tension fall away and the men in the coffin-like cockpits become, as Wilbur put it, "extremely ex hilarated." "To me." he would smile, "it was a world series, a heavy weight championship fight, a Na tional Open, a Rose Bowl game and a Kentucky Derby all rolled into one." It is worse, actually, than all of them on a waiting competitor. PATTERSON TO TRAIN MONTICELLO, N.Y.
