Ring Triumph
CHICAGO (AP) - Lightweight
Bobby Scanlon, who cut classes
at City College of San Francisco
to score a unanimous 10-round de
cision over Chicago's Bobby
Rogers last night, is a bit uncer
tain about his plans for the ring.
ine only plans I have right
now. said Scanlon. who remains
undefeated in 29 fights, "are to
visit my friends in my home town
in Buffalo. 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.

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.

Today's Spori
Drivers A wait Nerve Race
By OSCAR FRALEY
United Press International
NEW YORK (UPI) - Thirty-
three men with a pocket-full of
drams and a body-full of nagging
nerves waited impatiently today
for a 500-mile run to the end of
the racing rainbow.
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.

Because so many things can go

Shaw was an example, althouch
