(UPD The National A.A.U. track and field competition gets under way here tonight with the greatest collection of athletes competing for berths on the travelling team lince the 195S Olympic try-outs. Officials of the A.A.U, have an nounced that 44 men two in each of the events will be selected for the competition against the Rus sians at Moscow July 27-28. And this has become the big attrac tion. It is probable that the one-two finishers In competition will get first chance at the journey. Some, like Bobby Morrow of Abilene Christian, already have an nounced they don't want to make the trip. But there will be few rejections. While finals will be held tonight in such important races as the 100-yard dash, high hurdles, 440 yard hurdles, six-mile run, ham mer throw, high jump and shot put, the preliminaries to the mile will bear watching. 'Despite the entrance of such fa mous sub-four-minute milcrs a; defending champion Merv Lincoln and Herb Elliott of Australia Lazslo Tabori of Hungary and Don Bowden of California, the entry list became so high that Meet Di rector J. B. Haralson said that preliminaries would have to be held. "Those four-minute m 1 1 e r s didn't scare anybody out," said Haralson. "I guess the distance runners like to compete against tne best. Mays, whose batting average skidded from .433 to .382 during the past two weeks, was exam ined by Dr. Stewart tiosgnii Thursday and later hospital offi cials said he would undergo "further tests." There was one report that Mays was suffering from stomach trou ble but Willie denied it. 'I don't know who said that be cause it's not true at all." he de clared. "The only thing wrong with me is that I'm tired. I noticed my arms feeling 'spe cially heavy when I tried to swing the bat the last few days. Maybe all I need is a little rest. I sure hope so, anyway." Originally, the 27-year-old out fielder was scheduled to leave the hospital tomorrow. Now he isn t so sure. "I know if thcrcs anything wrong with me. they'll find it out here because this is one of the best hospitals there is," he said. "Maybe I'll have to stay in here awhile. If I have to, I have to That's all there is to it." A television set was moved into Mays' room Thursday so he could follow the fortunes of the Giants, who are in Pittsburgh.

(AP) This is tiny Ken Rosewall s sched ule in the $15,000 tournament of tennis champions Pancho Gon zales tonight. Lew Hoad tomorrow afternoon. That's a 24-hour grind pgainst the supreme sluggers of pro tennis. The good players always got an easy schedule, the little Aus tralian laughed. "I better get some sleep. If Itosewall wins bolh matches he'U grab the $3,000 brass ring in the six-match round robin. His record is 4-0 after last night's 6-3, fi-3 victory over another Aussie, Ilex Hartwig. Gonzales, the pro king from Las Angeles, is 3-0 and Aussi Hod is 3-1. Hoad stopped 37-year-old Pan cho Segura, 6-2, 9-7 last night be fore 5,000 chilled fans while Gon zales was idle.

Segura is 1-3 and Hartwig 0-4. 1 The tourney schedule set up Sunday climax between Gonzales and Hoad as the likely decisive match. But Roscwall's touch-and- go game has changed that. If Kenny beals me and then Lew," warned Gonzales, "it's all over Saturday. Kenny doesn't play Sunday. Lew and I'll be playing for second money. Gonzales knows what he must do to halt Rosewall's brilliant backhand, rated the best In tennis since Don Budge. "I know it. And he knows it," Pancho admits. I'll play to his forehand. His backhand is too good. A lot will also depend on my return of serv ice. I've got to keep the ball away from him. If not, he hits a very offensive volley.

Giants Hit By Off Day PITTSBURGH fl'PI)- It was one of those days the G)anu should have stayed in bed. As though it wasn t enough that Pittsburgh swarmed over three San Francisco hurlers for 13 hits and a 6-5 win yesterday, star slugger Willie Mays, probably the most valuable player in the National League, wound up in a New York hospital for observa tion. The usually effervesent Mays was glum and silent while being admitted to Harkness Pavilion Hospital. After his examination, Mays said simply, "maybe I'll stay around here for a while.' Giant Manager Bill Rigney had expected Willie to rejoin the club in Philadelphia tonight, but doc tors at Haikness said he may re main in the hospital until Satur day. Meanwhile, Rigney had his hands full vainly trying to con tain the Pirates-. The Giants did make a three run rally in the ninth, but Pittsburgh relief Hur ler Don Gross doused the fire to e the game for starter Ron Kline. The Pirates paved the road to victory in the second frame when Roman Mejias smashed a two run single with the bases loaded. Then in the seventh Bob Skinner belted a two run homer, and Ted Kluszewski and Bill Mazeroski Iratted in two more runs to give Pittsburgh its win margin. Daryl Spencer brought in the first two San Francisco runs with a single in the sixth and a sac rifice fly in the eighth. Bob Schmidt capped the big San Francisco rally with a homer with one man on base. But Jim Finigan fanned to end the game. Starter Al Worthington was charged with the loss.

Boxer Sugar Ray Robinson ODened his nrnfpccinnal rariup urith 40 straight victories before he lost a decision to Jake LaMotta in 1943 Tebbets May Cure Newk By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPH-There was a young rookie pitcher with the then Brooklyn Dodgers back in 1949 who considered himself quite a hot shot at ping-pong. But another player on the squad that spring handed him a 21 to 1 licking with the little paddles and the young pitcher "gave up the game." There are those who contend that this same pitcher a fellow named Don Newcombe has this sort of a psyche. Because down through the years in which he be came one of the National League's finest pitchers, Newcombe was branded as a guy who couldn t win the big ones. It became an almost yearly custom, in the seemingly annual World Series battles between the Dodgers and the New York Yan kees, that Newcombe wound up as the fall guy. During the regular season he was a ball of fire, pushed in the old days by fiery Jackie Robinson and told what to do by the waspish Roy Campa nula, But then, in the series, New combe strong enough to throw Little Red Riding Hood clear past the wolf would become the Yan kee pigeon. FURTHER COMPLICATIONS A psychiatrist might find a con nection. But it developed that every spring, with the World Se ries his most recent baseball memory, Big Newk came up with a sore arm. This, as he rode the bench, led to further complications. In 1955. fretting over a sore arm, he refused to pitch batting practice as manager Walt Alston tried to find out the state of his hurling health.- Suspended briefly, the six-foot, four-inch Newcombe demanded that he be traded. In 1956, when he was the league's most valuable player aft er winning 27 games, he was knocked out of the World Series box twice by those lip-licking Yankees. Storming out of the park while the game still was in prog ress, he flattened a parking lot ARGONAUTS SIGN SCHREWIER FORT HOOD, Tex. (UPD-The Toronto Argonauts of the Cana dian Football League have signed Meenan schrewier to a new con tract. Schrewier, former Univer sity of Texas end, had been a holdout for two months. He signed when Toronto came through with boost in pay. attendant who implied that he was gutless. Last year this man of many un certainties turned to hypnosis to cure a fear of flying. nils' year, although the Dodgers moved out of Brooklyn and made their home in the new and wildly appreciative setting of Los An geles, Big Newk still wasn't' hap py. Robinson was long since gone, and so, too, was Newcombe's roomie, Campanella, his career ended in an automobile accident. There was a strangeness in the new setting that had an effect on the big pitcher which, again, only a psychiatrist could explain. FINALLY TRADED So he had another sore arm. Inactive and itchy, he h a d a wrangle with the management and insisted "They should have traded me when they had a chance." Finding it hard to get back into action he brooded "You got to figure they don't want you." When he did pitch, it was listless ly. He lost six games and finally play it cool with The Good Light Beer HcitMbcrq Slow Brewed they did trade him to Cincinnati. That's when Birdie Tebbetts. the Redleg manager who prides himself on his talents as an ama teur Sigmund Freud, took over. He made Big. Newk feel "real welcome." And then, when New combe trembled in the ninth in ning of his first start as a Red- leg, filling tne Dases wnn only one out in the ninth inning, Tebbetts trudged to the mound. There was a threat and a promise behind his declaration of belief in New combe's ability when he said: I know you . . . You are going to finish this." Newcombe did. And It's going to be interesting to see what hap pens from here on out.
