Some say it hums, some say It whistles, but no matter what it .does, Don Drysdale's fast ball sure sounds like pennant music to the Dodgers' ears. Standing up at the plate against the side-arming Drysdale is like facing a firing squad without a blindfold, according to National League hitters. The six-foot, five-inch Los. An geles right-hander is sheer mur der on right-handed batters when he fires those sizzling fast balls at them by way of third base. Some of those hitters don't seem to know whether to wince or Wind their watch. Drysdale turned in that type of performance Wednesday night when he pitched a three - hitter (5 in By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS American League W. L. Pet.

The victory was Drysdale's 1 1th against six losses and those -seven strikeouts increased his total to 147 in 170 2-3 innings tops in the majors. To complete his night's work, the 22-ycar-old Drysdale doubled olf loser Bob Friend to drive in two runs in the seventh. The loss was Friend's 11th in 15 decisions The Chicago Cubs tightened their hold on fi(lh place with 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Braves and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the St, Louis Cardinals, 11-5. Rain caused postponement of the San Francisco-Philadelphia game. In the American League, Wash inglon took over fifth place and dropped Detroit to sixth by beat ing the tigers, 3 0. in a game limited to five innings by rain. The rain also washed out a dou- bleheader between the Indians and Yankees and single games between the White Sox and Red Sox and the Athletics and Orioles. Glen Hobbie of the Cubs checked the Braves on five hits! in winning his 10th game of the season. The victory was llobbie's 'fifth straight without a defeat over the Braves during a two year span and it dropped Milwau-: kee back into third place behind (he second-place Dodgers. I New York Rematch Date Set SJEW YORK (L'PD Promoter Bill Roscnsohn revealed today the "target date" for the return Ingemar .Johansson-Floyd Patter son heavyweight title fight is Sept. 22 at Yankee Stadium. He added that the stadium could accommodate 80.000 for a sellout 3 million dollar gate. The slender young promoter disclosed his plans today while discussing "somewhat exaggerat ed stories" from Los Angeles earlier in the week. Those stories indicated that the big fight would be held in the City of Angels. 'Let me, clear the air right now, declared nark-haired, Lin colnesque Bill. "I hope to stage the Johansson-Patterson fight at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 22, a Tuesday with rain dates on Sept. 23 and 24. And I can think of nothing that will prevent it." However, should some obstacle develop like an ailment or in jury to either boxer and delay the international 15-rounder until October, then he might shift it to Los Angeles or some other . city where there would be less of a weather gamble, he admitted. "Yes," he continued, "Our tar get date is Sept. 22 at the sta dium. Starting Sept. 21, the Yan kees will be away from nome un til their night game of- Sept. 25. And whether there is or isn't a later World Scries at the stadium, it will have no bearing on the fight." Both Hixson and P(.ierficld won Wednesday, defeating the HO-de-gree heat plus two valiant oppo ents. Porterlield had a four under standard 68 for a 1 up victory uier young Ed Oldtield.

Hixson's card showed a four over par, while McKendrick stroked a seven over par. Hixson and the heavy-set Mc Kendrick were all even after 35 holes, however, McKendrick drove behind some trees and was unable to reach the green in the next two shots, giving the hole and match to the Portland pro. Porterfield. battling back from a one-hole deficit at the halfway mark, took his one-hole lead for good on the 32nd. Oldficld. who was 26 on Wednesday, missed two dim chances to tie the match. The first, on the 35th. saw the Astoria man's seven-foot put rim the cun while on the 3(ilh and linal hole. Oldfield s second shot overshot the green after Porlerfield's second drive had landed at the base of the green. The Grants Pass vet chipped beautifully to within one foot of the cup on his third shot and Old field, under tremendous pressure with a difficult shot, stroked the ball past the pin on his third shot, giving the match to Porterfield. : 4- 'i: sx Mt i - , , -'?

Lee llamer and Charlie Martin completed 827 miles of steady driving in 24 hours without leaving Los Angeles. Lee Hamer got tired or hearing gas mileage claims from people who kept track only when driving in the open country, lie inveigled his good friend Charlie Martin into making the exhausting run with him . . , 24 hours of steady city driving. The Volvo gas tank holds only 91 gallons so with the assistance of the (ieneral Petroleum Corporation, an auxiliary lank was stored in the trunk. They fixed up an electric fuel switch which they pulled when I heir car, a Swedish Volvo, began to sputter. To keep everything on the up and up, Mobilgas executive, Leon Wil son, supervised the sealing of the tank and the refilling at the run's end to assess the gas mileage. The four cylinder Volvo averaged 38.11 miles per gallon. Less than Iwcnty-two gallons of Mobilgas was needed to cover the 827 miles. One other interesting statistic was revealed. Hamer and Martin each dropped four pounds during the day and night drive. Sec the '59 Volvo at Eccles Motor Co., 606 S. 6lh, Klamath Falls, Oregon. Adv.
