Campanella Is Benched For Not Hilling 'NEW YORK UP —Roy CampaJ.ella, the major leagues leading tan producer, was benched today—for not hitting. Dodger Manager Charley Dresden admitted it was a drastic experiment and that it probably .wouldn’t go beyond this afternoon's . game with Cincinnati. But he hopes that the rest may have the same tonic effect on Campy that a simi- | lar benching did for Gil Hodges, who came out of his slump after a brief rest and has been terrorizing the pitchers ever since. The Dodgers ran head-long into a streaking Cincinnati batting order arid suffered an 8-5 defeat as the Ohioans prolonged their winning streak to five games and pounded out 10 hits including homers by Gus •Bell and Ted Kluszewski. Bell drove in four runs off loser Russ Meyer, who suffered his third defeat. Relief pitcher Frank Smith held the Brooks to four hits for 5 % innings to gain his fifth victory without a defeat. Campanella, who has batted in 55 tuns and still is seven runs ahead of major-league runner-up. Ed Mathews, of Milwaukee, will be replaced by .Rube Walker. Campy do*sn’t need w to worry about Mathews catching him in the RBI department. but the lefty slugger for ■ the Braves did tie him Monday for the jhome run leadership when he clouted No. 17 and Kluszewski's blast was his 16th making the race in that department red hot. Mathews was the big show for

the Braves as they took a full game lead over the Brooks by pounding out a 12-8 triumph over the Giants. The young third baseman drove in five runs with his homer, double and single as Milwaukee made 13 hits to k coast to victory. Max Surkont, although batted out in a belated Giant stand which netted six runs in the two final innings, gained credit for his seventh victory against one loss. Andy Pafko also homered for Mil- • waukee. . The Cards ended a five-game losing streak at Pittsburgh but it ’ took them 12 innings to do it. They ’ defeated the Pirates 5-3 when Steve Bilko and Rip Repulski drove in ’ runs with\ a double and single in 1 the 12th. It was Pittsburgh's fifth f straight defeat. Al Brazle won his third game in a relief role. Stan • Musial and Red Schoendienst hit earlier homers for St. Louis. The Phillies cashed in on four Cub errors in a horrendous second ' inning and breezed to a 7-3 triumph as young Steve Ridzik picked up his third victory in a relief chore in six days. Center fielder Frank Baumholtz, supposedly the defensive bulwark between muscle men Hank Sauer and Ralph Kiner, let one ball get through hint for an error and made a wild throw for another. Eddie Miksis dropped a pop fly' and pitcher Paul Minner threw a ball into right field. Roy» Smalley hit a Chicago-homer. The 13-game losing .streak of Tigers finally ended when Ned Garver pitched an eight hitter and his mates broke loose for four runs in the seventh and a 6-3 triumph over the Red Sox. Ex-Bestonian Matt Batts drove in three runs, two on a triple ih the big inning to set the hitting pace. Hoot Evers hit a two-run homer sot Boston and Bob Nieman homered for Detroit. There were no other games scheduled.

| Hogan'Snead Are Favored To Win Open OAKIMONT. Pa. UP — What promised to ibe the toughest U. S. 1 Open od them all began today with 299 golfers teeing off in the first of two qualifying rounds and Ban- ' tam Ben Hogan and Slammin Sam- ' my Snead as joiht favorites at 6 to 1. \ A I i' The two qualifying rounds of 18 holes today and Wednesday will narrow the field down to 149 who will join defending champion Julius Boros in the tournament proper starting at the Oakmont Country Club on Thursday. IBoros, who has been way off his game in recent Weeks, was\ held no better than 15 to 1 to win the title for the second year in a row. The starting field was split in tiwo sections, with one playing Oakmont and the other the nearby (Pittsburgh t Field. Club course today. Wednesday those who play Oakmont today will play on the Field Clu<b course,\ with the other section switching to Oakmont. Both are amopg the toughest courses in the country. “That’s, what makes this one of the toughest of them all,” said Jackie Burke, a 12 to 1 shot in the stanstudded field. “First you have to work all the way to make the tournament proper and then you face four more rounds. It eliminates any luck — any hot streak. You have to be a golfer all the way.” Despite the ruggedness of the Oakmont course, the nation's crack golfers burned it up in practice rounds. “But don’t forget they qre only practice.” jointed out Cary Middlecoff, another 12 to 1 shot. “It will tb’e- different today when the pressure is on. Now you start thinking you are shooting for the best title in golf. It makes a lot of difference.” While the course was “playing easy” in the practice rounds, the rolling greens of Oakmont were expected to be lightning fast for the first qualifying round. Up to now, the contestants have been able to stop the ball on the green's, heavier than usual because [ of recent rains. But price those greens bake out, they are as fam as any in th e country.; 1 Thus, putting probably will determine the 1953 champion. Because of that factor, Hoganwas figured as the man to I beat despite the fact that he was no better than a co-fuvorite with Snead, who sflll is bothered by a broken bone in his left hand. Most pros hold that Hogan is the greatest putter of them all. Gil Hodges Boosts Batting Average BROOKLYN, NT. Y. UP — Gil Hodges now has added more than 100 percentage points to his batting average since he emerged i from his famous slump. The Dodger firist liaseman. bat- | ting only .181 on May 24, ran his, average to .285 with two hits in four trips against the Redlegs Monday night. His average for the games since his. streak began is .459. Enrollment Doubles Under Gl's Bill WASHINGTON UP -The veterans administration reported today that enrollments under the Korean GI bill of rights more than doubled during the first [four months of 1953. V.\ said i131,0C0 veterans were training under; tine law compared to 60,0H0 at the start bi the year. The number is expected to continue rising. Nearly 280,00 > Korean veterans have applied for training, and many more are expected to do so fbr the fall school term, the agency said. Trade in a good Town—Decatur ■ I" r-4~— ;

__ Vets Claim Braves Belter Than In '4B NEW YORK VP — Warren ■Spahn, Vern Bickford and Sibhy Sisti, only remaining members of the 1948 pennant-winning Bi-av‘os.l unanimously agreed today that the current .Milwaukee team is a “faster, more spirited and far better”! ball club. Spahn. a 15-game winner wi“h the 1348 Boston club, says the Ifig difference between that team and the present one is youth. r [ “Put that youth down in capital Spahn said. “It’s partk-ik larjy apparent in double-headers. XPung players don’t let down second games’; We’ve played five doubleheaders so far and won them all, except one which we split. : “It’s easier to pitch for this club than it was sos the one we had in 1948.
