The Giants play five of their next half dosen games against the Phillies, while the Dodgers put on the feed bag against both the Phils 1 and Pittsburgh, who have dropped 1 a combined 16 out of 19 games 1 with the Brooks. The Giants, 18% games out in 1 fourth place, have bad a real going over from the rest of the lea- , gut up to now.

The Say Hey Kid is batting only .292 over all but is pure yplson for ths Dodgers. : . Thursday Willie belted Flatbush pitching for his third home run within 24 hours although the two run poke in the 10th inning-No. 02 for Mays, incidentally — went for nought as the Dodgers came back to Win it, 6 to 5, in the 11th. In the three game set at Ebbets Field, Mays drilled nine hits in 14 times at bat and drove, in ten runs. His season average for 11 games with Brooklyn now at .455. Never in front throughout, Dodgers went ahead to win it on George Shuba’s pinch single which ! drove Carl Furillo home from'' second. Ed Roebuck, who followed Don Newcombe and Karl Spooner in that order, held the Giants in their half of the 11th to gain the decision.

(INS)— Tony Trabert, 24-year-old U.S, Davis Cup star from Cincinnati, won the coveted Wimbledon men's singles championship today with a relentless 6-3, 7-6, 6-1 trouncing of Denmark’s unseeded Kurt Nieleon. r l WIMBLEDON, Eng. (IN8) — Top seeded Tony Trabert of Cin-, cinnati and unseeded Kurt Nielsen of Denmark battle on Wimbledon’s famed center court today for the men’s singles championship. The coveted all England crown has eluded both players in the past. Trabert, who wants to cop all the major amateur titles before turning professional, was an overwhelming favorite to defeat Nielsen and post the 13th victory ‘in ■ his last 14 tournaments. The U. S. Davis Cup star got I as far as the semi-finals last year i while Nielsen became the first unseeded player in 23 years to reach the final round in 1953, only to lose to Vic Selxas of Philadelphia. Trabert had met Nielsen three timeg previously — each time on grass Courts — and beaten him on every occasion. The U. 8. whiz also had not lost a set in all of this Wimbledon tournament while Nielsen, who also is 24-year-old, had to go all out several times to win. Trabert was bgpelMl.Pf , the sudden wave bt upsets which claimed himself and Seixas in doubles competition Thursday and top-seeded Doris Dart in the women’s singles. The. only major doubles title they failed to win last year again avoided the U. S. Davis Cup tandem as the Australian combine of Kenßosewall and Neale Fraser advanced into the finals with a slam bang 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 victory. Lew Hoad and ißex Hartwig seated fellow Australians Mervyn Rose and George Worthington in the other semi-final, 7-9, 6-f, 6-4, 2-6. 6-1. Miss Hart was the victim of the year’s biggest upset in women’s tennis. The 30-year-old U. S. title holder from Coral Gables, Fla., who had announced this would be her Wimbledon farewell, was soundly trounced by pert Mrs. Beverly Baker Fleitz of Long Beach, Calif., 6-3, 6-ff. Mrs. Fleitz. who retired from big time tennis in 1952 and ’53 JoHpw+ng, hen marriage and veturnedchfcw* > N«.
