Meyer Hurls Brooklyn To 3-0 Victory NEW YORK, UP -1 Pitcher Russ Meyer finally has -convinced Brooklyn Manager Charley Dresden that he needs more work to be a consistent winner — and from now on he’ll get it. The fiery right hander says the 'big reason for his nine-strikeou-t, five-hit, 3-0 victory over the Cubs Monday night was "that 1 got knocked out of the box on Saturday.” "I had better sluff last night than in any of my last four starts,”- iMeyer said. "1 like to work often. My ann etitfens up or I don’t) have control when I have a ionig time between starts." He recalled his best previous season when he won 10 in a row to finish the 1949 season with the Phillies. He had 17 victories and the besft earned-run average for a right bander in the league, jil“1 was going every third or fourth day then, and my arm nfever felt 'better,” be said. ‘‘l told Charley that I felt more loose last night because I had worked Saturday, even though 11 was knocked out.” Dressen was torn between ela-

tion over the best job yet <by "Meyer and anger over; the pitch by Cub right hander Rob Rush that felled Dodger outfielder Carl Fucillo. Furillo wasn’t seriously hurt, but he wont play today because Dresden wants to iest him. "One of -these things could ruin us in the pennant race, if the umpires don't make the pitchers cut it out," Dressen said. “What else can you think about a pitcher when he is tagged for a home run and starts throwing at the next batter?” i ’ ' . Furillo followed (Roy Campane’la to the plate in the second inning. Campanella had drilled his 24th homer of the season into the left field seats. The;first pitch by Rush was high and inside, over Furillo’s head-Then he was felled by a blow < which : struck the top of -his protective ’helmet. Rysh said his control was “a little off” because he had been pitching hard in this game for the first time after being laid up with a sore shoulder. j Cub manager Pgil Cavarretta said Rush merely pitched Furillo high tight and -had no intention of "dusting him off.” The victory put the Brooks 3% games in front of idle Milwaukee. Camp’s homer was; the only run Meyer really needed as he turned in his eighth victory against (four defeats. In the ninth inning ■Meyer got in his worst when the Cubs putj two men on with one out, but Jfcrn Hugjjhes relieved and nailed the next two batters 3to clinch the win which

Al Lopez Maintains Indians Have Chance CLEVELAND, .0. UP —| He sounded a little like a man whistling past a graveyard, but manager Al Lopez stoutly insisted today thatfhis slumping, fourth-place - still ,"have a chance” for the American League; pennant. ’ ! Lopez’ brave hopes will be put quickly to the acid test, for the league-leading New York Yankees come to town tonight to open a three-game series and the chantpons are riding high after walloping the White Sox twice. Yankee manager Casey Stengel had been planning to open the series tonight with southpaw Whitey Ford, but he switched to right hander Johnny Sain, who has a 9-5 record. He will be opposed bv Bob Lemon, who has won 12 and lost eight. Fresh in the Indians’ mind is the Yanks’ iuvasion last month when they swept four straight games here as part of their 18game winning streak. What’s more, the Indians realty are staggering as they come into this series with seven defeats in their last nine games. A double header loss to the Red Sox on Sunday shoved them a half-game into fourth place and 11 games behind the Yankees. Last week they lost four straight to the White Sox. ,'| But Lopez is thinking only of the Yankees. “I’m not worried about the Rod Sox or the White Sox.” said swarthy Al. “It’s the Yankees who worry me.” Lopez will use the same three pitchers in this series who won three straight games from the Yankees in an invasion of New’York late last month — 1 Lemon tonight. Mike Garcia Wednesday nighUand Early Wynn on Thursday. The Yankees are expected to counter with Sain, Whitey Ford and Allie Reynolds. was Meyer’s eighth In a row pver 1 his old Ctfb teammates. In <the only other maljor league action Monday, the Cardipals made 15 hits to top Pittsburgh, 9-4, after the Pirates won the wind-up of a suspended Sunday l game, 6-4. Neither team pcpred in the four final play-off innings, but it was a different story in the regularly scheduled contest. Steve Bilko hit two home runs and two singles to drive in four runs. Lefty Cliff Chambers pitched two-hit scoreless relief ball for four innings to gain the victory. The Cards went ahead for good with three runs in the sixth when pinch hitter Peanuts Lowery’g two-run triple was the big blow.

New Yoik Mam Welcome Home For Ben Hogan iJEW YORK UP —The big town goes all out toddy in a gigantic (“welcome home” celebration for golf king Ben Hogan. The mighty mite from Texas, who scored one of the most dramatic and amazing triumphs in sports history this month when he won the British Open golf championship in Scotland, will be the central figure in a ticker-tape parade up Broadway and a reception at city hall. With cheering thousands, marching bands, and official speeches, it’ll be the biggest celebration New York has staged for an athlete since it welcomed golf star Bobby Jones home from a similar triumph 23 years .ago. The 41-year old Hogan, who won the U. S. Open title and the Masters crown this year in addition to the British Open for a “grand slam” rivalling Jones’, will be accompanied through the celebration by his wife, Valerie. Valerie also was riding in a car with her husband that fateful night four years ago when a crash nearly ended his career. Since that accident, Hogan has staged one of the most astounding comebacks in sports history to be acclaimed by many experts as the greatest golfer of all time. Hogan arrives in New York aboard the S, S. United States. A pqlice motorcycle group will escort Hogan to his hotel. Hogan’s parade up Broadway will begin at Bowling Green in lower New-, York. Many thousands were expected to line the route. When the parade reaches city hall, Mayor Vincent Impellitteri will present Hogan with the city's official scroll tor distinguished public service. ~ I Hogan and his wife will be guests Os honor at a special luncheon given him by his fellow golf professionals, sports writers, and other friends.
