it resumes action at Wright Field
Monday, July 7, at 6 p.m.
The league leading Johns -Manville
nine will tangle with the
next-to-last place Car-Ad-Co team
on Field 2 while fourth-place Bob's
Union gets an opportunity to in
crease their stature and gain a
notch on the league ladder as
they tangle with the cellar dwell
ing Weyerhaeuser Don's on Field
1. Bob's is currently percentage
points out of a tie for third place
with Hal's Sport Shop.
Wednesday night at 6, the second
place spot could be definitely de
cided as Hal's and Bob's Union
clash on Field 1,' while Johns
Manville will be put through its
paces by Park-Moyina, present
holders of the number two slot.
Thursday play , at Wright Field
will see the Weyerhaeuser-Don's
compete against Car-Ad-Co on

be traded, and on Field 2 Johns
Manville will clash with Hal's
Sport Shop in a contest that could
have a great bearing on the even
tual outcome of the season's play.

Braves Rally
For Flag Win
MILWAUKEE. Wis. (UPI)-The
Milwaukee Braves are better off
at ' the Fourth of July halfway
mark man they were last year,
but Manager Fred Haney, dissat
isfied with his World Champions'
performance, has predicted that
they have their big surge still
to come.
Stung by the loss of a double
header to the Philadelphia Phil
lies Friday on the holiday and
a nagging inability. to score, Han
ey said, "somebody is going to
pav lor this.
STRAIGHT LOSSES
The two losses to the Phillies
gave the Braves a four game los
ing streak during which they have
scored only two runs, but Haney
said things were bound to change.
We re going to break loose, he
vowed.
Still, the Braves are in better
shape in the standings than they
were last year.
Their 1957 record through the
fourth was 43-32, putting them in
third place, one-half game be
hind first place Cincinnati. This
year they reached the same point
with a 39-32 record and in first
place, a game and one half ahead
of second place St. Louis.
This puts them even on the lost
side, with the chance to still win
those games they are behind their
1957 pace in the win column.
The Braves also are keeping up
in 1957.
Last year they played half the
season without Joe Adcock and
Billy Burton.
SLUGGERS SLUMPING
This year Adcock is in full time
and Bruton finally got back last
month, but Is not fully recovered
from his knee injury. But pitcher
Bob Buhl is out indefinitely and
slugger Wes Covington is crippled
and his status uncertain.
Red Schoendienst has had to sit
out a number of games, and Ad
cock and tddie Mathews are only
hitting around the .250 mark. Hen
ry Aaron has finally started to
hit, but he is still off his pace of
last year with only about half
tho homers he hit at the same
time last season.

A 34-year-old Methodist minis
ter finished the National Lefthand
ers golf tournament Saturday with
299 for 72 holes and immediately
disqualified himself for the title
if his score should stand up.
The Rev. Walter Jessup, pastor
of the First Methodist Church at
Naples, Fla., received special
permission to play two rounds
rather than stay for the final
round Sunday.
He had a two under par 35-35
70 on the morning round but hur
ried through the, afternoon round,
bogeying the first three holes and
taking a double bogey six on the
final hole for a 79 to add to his
two dav total of 150.
He said it would not be fair to
claim the title if his score happens
to be best at the finish.
Meanwhile, defending champion
Harry Shoemaker of Signal Moun
tain. Tenn., had a shaky third
round and posted 36-4076 lor a
222 total for 54 holes.

Hydros Bid For Cup
G-S Expects Big Gold Cup Entry
By JACK HEWINS
SEATTLE (AP) - The way
things are shaping up, you won't
be able to see the Gold Cup race
this year for the boats.
Greater Seattle, Inc., which
angels the world's wildest boat
show, reports a "possible" entry
list of 31 hydroplanes. If r,ll of
them showed up, Aug. to wouldn't
be big enough to handle them.
Race rules say no more than
seven boats can run at one time.
If our gozintas are right, seven
goxinta 31 four times with three
boat! left over. Each of the first
two heats of the 1938 Gold Cup
rare would have to split into five
sections.
Counting (he final heat, that
would add up to 11 separate races,
each of 30 miles. The first 5-minute
warning gun would rattle your
breakfast dishes and the thunder-
boats would still be whooping
wound the 3-mile oval at sundown.
The half a million people who
pack the shoreline and the picas
ure boats to watch the race would
love such kind of carrying on, but
It Isn't likely to happen. The field
of "possibles" can be trimmed
te M "probables" and Greater Se
attle. Inc., is planning for 21. It
can hold the field to that number
by limiting the entry to the 21
fastest qualifiers.
This little wrinkle adds zest to
the midweek qualifying runs. A
boat must turn three laps of the
Gold Cup course at 95 miles an
hour to earn a berth normally and
if there are more boats than berths
the drivers will have to go for
the bundle in their pre-race tests.
Fifteen qualified for the race
last year, making it necessary to
run the first heat in three sec
tions. Mechanical Indigestion cut
the field sufficiently to permit a
two-section second heat. The final
heat is always limited to the sev
en best boats still running, so the
1957 Gold Cup totaled 180 miles
of racing in six sections. They ran
from noon to half-past dinnertime.
Humor that Bins; Crosby was
building a boat to be named for
his fruit Juice firm haven't been
confirmed, but there win pe sev
eral new hvdros in the Gold Cup
scenery. The one causing the big
gest throb In curiosity bump is
Bill Wassoner's Shanty II, not
yet out of the boat work. The fun.

hinting his second Shanty will be

Although they have been In ac

Bardahl anil Miss Pay'N Save will

Thriftway is a new craft, built
after the Gold Cup champ of the
same name came apart last fall
in a Midwestern race. So far the
new defender has shown going but
not staying power.
Hope springs eternal in the city
of Detroit and seven or eight craft
probably will come out from Gaso
line Alley in hopes of recapturing
the top trophy of speedboat rac
ing. One of them could be Miss
Pepsi, last of the one-step hydros
and a highly feared competitor.
Looking like a whale, the Pepsi
can't do much more than 140
miles an hour but 'ier midsection
prop allows her to turn with little
loss of speed.

Racing Crew
HENLEY - ON - THAMES. Eng
land (AP) Harvard's unbeaten
lightweight eight brought the Unit
ed States its only trophy of the
Royal Henley Regatta Saturday
witn a three-quarter length tri
umph in the Thames Challenge
uup race.
The American colleaians
splashed home in 6 minutes, 57
seconds to defeat the Thames
Rowing Club boatload in the final,
Strangely enough the new cham
pions registered the same time
defeating the Royal Air Force
Benson Rowing Club by a third
bf a length in a rugged semifinal
pairing.
"This is the greatest thing that
ever happened to us," said coach
Joe Brown. "The final went as
planned. The boys were to hit
their racing cadence after IS
strokes, fight it out down the mid
die of the race and then put on a
sprint at the finish. We felt in
command all the way."
Russia and Australia shared the
other major laurels of the day
with the Soviet eight, . victor over
the University of Washington boat
load on Thursday, taking the
Grand Challenge Cup and S. A.
MacKenzie of Australia, the Dia
mond sculls.
The Russian heavyweights de
feated the Leichhardt rowing club
of Australia by two and a half
lengths in the sparkling time of
6 minutes, 40 seconds lor the mile
and 550-yard sweep. MacKenzie
finished 120 yards ahead of Vas-
ilav Ifanov of Russia, in the sin
gles final to retain the title he
took a year ago. His time was 8
minutes, 6 seconds.
The Russians also took the dou
ble sculls, Alexander Berkutov
and Yri Tukalov fitting the finish
in 7:21 and equaling the record
lor the event.
Henley's own Barn Cottage Row
ing Club won the four-oared event
by a full length over the National
Provincial Bank Rowing Club of
Great Britain in 7:16. The Cottage
foursome eliminated a University
of Washington quartet in Friday's
semifinal round.
Harvard grabbed a narrow lead
at the very start of its race with
the Thames Club and held it
throughout to' become the tenth
U. S. winner of the race in the
past 11 years. Last year's victor
was Princeton, which did not de
fend. Princeton also is the record
holder in the event with a time
of 6:45.
56-year-old Gene Sarazen of Germ
antown, N. Y.
In winning his fourth British
Open in the space of five years,
Thomson matched the records of
such golf gianis as Harry - Var
don, Walter Hagen and Bobby
Locke.
Even Bob Jones, America's
famed grand slammer, won only
three British Opens and Ben Ho-
gan won one, in his only try, al
though both share the record of
four U. S. Open triumphs.
Thomson, who hones his game
on the rugged America;; pro tour,
has the phenomenal record 0.' hav
ing finished 1-2 in the last seven
British Opens. He put three on a
string in 1954, 1955 and 1956 be
fore Locke, the putting master
from South Africa, dethroned him
last year.
After his 1956 victory in Britain,
the Australian went into a myster
ious decline, failing to win an
other major tournament until now.
He was even beaten for Australian
titles last year.
A crowd estimated at 20.090 saw
Thomson seize an early four
stroke lead through the first seven
holes, lose it and then stage a
blazing finish for his runaway vic
tory. Par for the 6,635-yard layout
is 71.
Thomas, regarded as one of the
longest hitters in the game, was
only ,one stroke back after J9
holes and the same after 27. But
then he lost three strokes on the
next two holes and he never got
back into the fight.

Pittsburgh Calls Up
Slugging Dick Stuart
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Dick
Stuart's wife said the other day
her homerun hitting husband was
ready for the majors.
Though general manager joe
Brown of the Pittsburgh Pirates
didn't hear that, he agrees.
He called Stuart up to the Pi
rates. The 25-year-old first base
man of the Salt Lake Bees will
join Pittsburgh at Chicago next
Thursday.
The PCL is losing a big ball hit
ter and a colorful player.
San Diego general ' manager
Ralph Kiner said the PCL will
miss the Salt Lake slugger. Stu
art is responsible for the crowds
we have been getting this week
Kiner said.
"He's the only draw in the
league."
"It's not that he talks back to the
umpires, or tie fans. He doesn't.
When the fans heckle him like,
say, after one of his many strike
outshe simply ignores them all
and maybe hits a 400-foot homer
the next time at bat."
mmm
C4rr -mr. 'linn
Once in a while a fan might
yell out, sarcastically, "Why don't
you go back to -the Pirates!"
So he is.
He almost made it in 1957 at tha
Pirate training camp. That was
the year after he hit 66 home runs
with Lincoln, Neb., of the West
ern League.
He s got 66 in big golden nu
merals upon the door of his bed
room. His bride of a month, tha
former Lois Morano of Green
wich, Conn., said that symbol of
his hitting record confronts him
every morning as a reminder of a
goal to overtake.
She said, during that Interview!
"I think he's ready for the ma
jors now. He is hitting better,
playing first better and fielding
well."
He was well on his way toward
breaking the PCL record of 60
home runs in one season by To"y
Lazzeri in 1925. Stuart hit liis 30th
on June 27.
He hit his 31st Friday against
the Tadres at San Diego. '
