Robin Roberts Hurls Phils To Shutout Win NEW YORK, ur — Naturally, Robin Roberts wants his Philly . team mates to get him as many I runs as possible, but on days when they don't the big righthander really puts on a show. {Roberts, who has a remarkable at pacing himself to a situ- ! atlon, wants to achieve his goal of 30 victories this season and if necessary he will pitch even more than the 380 innings that Manager Steve O'Neill is asking .from him. Thus when the Phillies give him a substantial early lead he perhaps unconsciously takes a little of the- zing off his fast ball, although It still is swhft enough to * blow down most of the hitters. But Friday, when the Phils had to-battle through eight scoreless innings before downing Warren Hacker of the Cubs, 1-0, with a run in the ninth, Robby was magnificent. He gave up six hits in achieving his fifth Victory against two defeats. He struck out four and walked nobody. The run that 5 sent Hacker down to another disheartening defeat came when Earl Torgeson doubled and Granny Hamner singled him home. Hacker scattered seveji hits in losing his fifth game. The Cubs now have gone 28 innings without scoring a run for him. u The "Miracle Braves,'' Milwaukee variety, won their sixth straight game and their eighth in the last nine, 4-3 over the Pirates.

Rocky Marciano Knocks Walcott Out In First CHICAGO, UP —Torrid controversy over Jersey Joe Walcott’s alleged “short count” rumbled to-, day through this city where Gene Tunuey allegedly got his “long count”- against Jack Dempsey 26 years ago. And the controversy echoed throughout the nation, where millions by television heavyweight z .champion . Rocky Marciano’s Virst-round knockout of 39-year-old Walcott Friday night in Chicago Stadium before 14,034 fans. “It was the rbttenest deal of my life," declared the ex-champ from Camden, N. J., after referee Frank Sikora counted him out at 2:25 of the first round amidst loud booing of the fans, who temporarily appeared roused enough to storm the .ring. After the bewildered and angry ex-champ rose from his haunches, where an explosive right uppercut to the chin had dumped him. timekeeper Fay Young added to the wild confusion by announcing the time of the kayo as 1:25 of the first round, which would have been the shortest kayo in heavyweight title history. Young might have let 1:25 stand had not George Bozarth of the United Press rushed over to him and said. "I think the time should be 2:25 because the big dock on the first balcony showed more than two minutes whdn Walcott was floored.” . The official 2:25 was only the sixth shortest kayo in heavyweight title competition. “I want another shat at Marciano.” Walcott declared today. "I wasn’t hurt at all. I sat there waiting for a hand signal from Felix. I thought I had plenty of time. I heard the count of seven. Then Sikora pushed me back and waved his hand I was out.” Felix Bocchicchio. • Walcott’s manager, and Angelo Malandra. their attorney, will present a formal protest to the Illinois athletic commission on Monday. They protested informally and with gusto to chairman Livingston Osborne at the ringside. But Osborne said the knockout looked “all right to me.” He said Sikora had counted Joe out fairly ’in the ring, but “We’ll consider your\protest Monday.” > ’ \ Johnny Behr, ex-referee and a member of the three-man commission, said, “in my opinion we shouldn’t even consider the protest. He was counted out, and that’s all thereiis to it.” . ’ Knockdown —time-keeper i Mike Murphy declared. "The count could have gone to 12. and hie still wouldn’t have been up. He was counted out by a wide margin” DALE HAGGARD (Coutinntd From Page One) suggested they pull off the road and let the police pass. Said Wayne, to the effect, "you’re within your legal limit, (he was under 65 miles), just keep going.” Dean dropped his brother off in Ossian and drove here: that . was about 11:30—an hour later three were dead and Haggard to be found.
