While Sox Win Pair To Take first Place By UNITED PRESS Manager Paul Richards of the White Sox said that one of the “musts” for a successful season this year would be a comeback by flnit baseman Ferris Fain and at the Jnoment it is no coincidence that the curly-haired Californian is red hot and Chicago is in first place. Last season Fain was in Richards* doghouse so much that the wisecrackers said he even barked for his breakfast, but he isn’t in the kennel club any more. Sunday, as the White Sox scored 3-2 and 4-3 victories over Baltimore to take over undisputed possession of first place in the American League, Fain hit a bases-load- . ed single in the bottom of the ninth to bring home the winning run in the second game. IL was his third hit, boosting his runs batted in total to 12, tops for the league. His hits also put his batting average at .333. In the opener Virgil Trucks pitched seven-hit ball for his second victory as Sherman Lollar hit a homer for the margin of victory. Al Carrasquel hit a second game Chicago homer. The Yankees topped the Athletics 6-1, then lost 4-2, while Cleveland beat Detroit 10-9 in 10 innings and Washington defeated Boston, 5-1. Ig the National league, the Giants%nade it three shutouts in a row over ’ the Phils by blanking them 3-0 and 5-0 as Sal Maglie gave up five hits and Johnny Antonelli doled out three. Pittsburgh topped Brooklyn 9-3, then lost 4-2, while Chicago pounded out a 9-2 conquest of Cincinnati, then suffered a 3-2 setback. St. Louis defeated Milwauke 7-6 in 12 innings. Jim McDonald gained a six-hit triumph for the Yankees over lefty Alex Kellner in the opener at Phil- • adelphik. McDonald was backed up with homers by Jerry Coleman, Phil Rizzuto and Bill Skowron. In the second game, lefty Morris Martin held the Yankees to five hits in eight innings. The Athletics rallied'in the curfew-shortened game when a walk, singles by Gus Zernial and Don Bollweg; and Bill Renna's sacrifice fly produced, two runs, . , Dave Philley hit a two-run homer in the 10th in Cleveland’s victory after Wally Westlake paced the Indians earlier with two homers, accounting for four runs. Lefty Chuck Stobbs scattered seven hits to gain his first victory for Washington, but had to walk- on eggs (goose-eggs that is) until the Nats scored five runs in tile eighth. Maglie pitched his third straight triumph for the Giants in a battle with southpaw Curt Simmons which went scoreless until Don Mueller singled home a run in the seventh of the opener. In the second game, two-run hojners by Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson and a run-scoriiig single by Whi,tey Lockman provided Antonelli all. the margin he needed for his second triumph. Pittsburgh batted around In two big innings, the first when they scored four runs and the seventh when they made five, in the opening triumph over Brooklyn in whiqh Frank Thomas hit a thieerun homer and Curt 'Roberts drilled a three-run double. Vern Law struggled to a 12-hit victory. In the second game lefty JohnUlL Podres tossed a three-hitter and contributed a run-scoring triple. A,t ; Cincinnati, Bubba Church of the Cubs pitched six-hit ball against his old mates while Randy Jackson pegged his major league batting average at .500 with a homer and two singles. In the second game, rookie Art Fowler pitched four-hit ball as lefty Howie Pollet forced home the winning run. •Hank—Sauer and Dee Fondy hit I homers for the only Chicago runs. In the opener Ralph Kiner also homered for the Cubs while. Ted Kluszewski and Wally Post homered for the Reds. Jim Pendleton —dropped Red Schoendiepst's fly with the liases loaded in the 12th and two out to give St. Louis its Victory.

Ari Wall Is Winner Os SIO,OOO Tourney LAS VEGAS. Nev., UP — Art Wall, lanky young winner of the $35,000 Tournament of Champions, was about as confused a young man as there was in the golf world today. After collecting his SIO,OOO in silver dollars Sunday, for first place, Wall Was undecided about the future. "I've nevpr seen this much money before,” he said as his young wife, Jean nodded approval. “I don’t know what I’m going to do. I think I’m going to San Francisco to play in the tournament there this weekend. But I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure I will." The sudden elevation into the spotlight as champion of champions left the slender, 30-year-old Star from Pocorio Manor, Pa„ in a slight daze. He beat the best of the 1953 champions in this greatest of tournaments by a record-shattering six strokes—the widest ■winning margin in a major tournament in the memory of the touring professionals. Wall was 10 strokes under par for the distance with a 278 —two strokes less than Al Besselink took to win the crown last year. Tied for second were Besselink and Lloyd Mangrum, each with 284, good for $3,750 each. Cary Middlecoff had a 255 for $1,750. Earl Ste Wart Jr., Dallas, Tex., finished with a 288 for a tie with Doug Ford, Kiamesha Lake. N. Y.. each getting $1,375. The rest of the professionals got SI,OOO each for just showing. Most of the touring professionals will leave here today for San Francisco, where they will compete in the SIO,OOO tournament opening there on Friday. FIRST ACE The Decatur Golf club's first hole-in-one of the 1954 season was recorded Saturday afternoon. The ace was scored by Dick Wasson, of Bluffton, on the seventh hole. Wasson used a three wood for his tee shot. The season’s first was witnessed by Gerald Morningstar and Paul Wilkinson. Smaller Apple Trees GENEVA, N.
