Open golf championship today and the betting was that no one ih the star-studded field wtould catch him over the rolling fairways of the Oakmont Country Club course. Blazing Ben, who burned up the rugged layout in a first-round 33-34-67, five under par, was in a good position to prove to any remaining skeptics that he is the greatest golfer in- history. There could be little doubt about it. if when twilight falls on Saturday night, he comes in with his

Closest to him as the field of 157 teed off for the second round today were the veteran George Fazio, little-heralded Walter Burkemo and an amateur, Frank Souchak, known more for his football than golf skill.

Yankees Win 14th In Row, Meet Indians YANKESES WIN NEW YORK UP — It isn’t only how often thbse murderous Yankees can ’beat you but how badljr. Today, as they swaggered confidently into Cleveland with U 14game winning streak, they had the opportunity to make a walkover out of th© American League race in a four-game weekend series. And, on the basis of what they've ibeen doing, the odds were much in favor off ‘them keeping right on winning. For in their 14 triumphs they have piled up almost exactly three times aS many runs as the combined opposition — 197 to 36. During that run of Successes they had only two. games in which they won by just a single run. Thursday, they breezed to a 6-3 triumph for a three-game sweep oi. their series at Detroit on the margin of homers’ by Mickey Mantle, Irv Noren, and Gene Woodling, ' At the same time Cleveland’s respectable ’but hot spectacular sev-en-game winning streak came ,to an end when Washington scored- a 2-1 triumph on Walt (Masterson’s three-hitter. ' It is worth noting that Cleveland in its winning streak had to. pull four games out of tke fire >by one run and won another by a narrow 2-0 margin. The Indians, in losing Thursday, apparently were looking ahead sd intently to the Yankees series that they tumbled into an open manhole. They saved their ace pitchers for the 4 Yankees and used old timer Steve Gromekj iwhp hadn't made a start all year. Gromek gave up only seven hits, but the Indians couldn’t do anything with Masterson and Washington clinched the game in the eighth on singles by Jackie Jensen, Pete Runnels, Jim, Busby and (Ed Fitz Gerald for twq runs. In other American League game* the Athletics topped the White Sox 6- and the Red Sox handed the (Browns their 10th straight defeat, 7Brooklyn defeated Cincinnaii; 9-6. and moved to within six percentage points of Milwaukee, which dropped a 3-4| decision to the Giants, in the National race. The Cards! topped Pittsburgh, 5-3. and Philadelphia and Chicago had an open date. s Junior Gilliam’s three-run homer in the eighth iclimaxed a six-run Brooklyn rally for the third in a row over Cincinnati. Bud Podblelan was .pounded for 17 hits—the season’s single-game high off one pitcher — before being jremoved,

Boibiby Morgan four and Carl Furillo and Jackie Robinson three each. Gil Hodges also hit a homer in the big inning. Larry Jansen held the Braves to two hits after the fourth inninj. Monte Irvin, Henry Thomson, and Whitey Lockman hit homers for the Giants and Bobby Thomson got his I,oooth big league hit -L- a double. Irvin’s homer was his 899th hit and his 200th run. Th« Cardinals, paced by rookie Ray Jablonski who drove in three runs iwlth a pair of singles, took advantage of eight waiiks by knuckle ’bailer Johnny Lindell, vrbo went down to his eighth defeat. Gus Zernial hit two hemers to drive in four runs and Cass Michaels also got his I,oooth- big league hit, a single that drove » another tally in Philadelphia’s triumph over the White Sox. Bpt it took 'Eddie'Rofblnson’s ninth inning homer to win the game.
