Julius Boros Wins Richest Golf Tourney CHfcAOO (INS) — The biggest bonanza in golf history—slo7,ooo —has been tapped by muscular Julius Boros. That waa the amount that the Southern Pines, U. C-, professional could credit to his bank account today for his victory In the ninth edition of the “World” Tournament of .Golf. When the last putt was holed oht At the 6.P00 yard Tam O’Shan ter Country club cottrse Sunday, the 35-year-old Bor os was on top es the heap In the scramble for the 650,060 first place prize and an additional 657,000 in guaranteed exhibitions. The win, first so% the Fairfield, Conn., born golfer since the 65,000 Manfklk! open last fall, boosted hi* 1955 earnings to a whopping $61,971.55.

The trio split 110,500. One hundred and seven grand Is not hard to take but It’s mighty tough to win. Early leader Bob Rosburg pt Palo Alto, Calif, and Bo Wlninger of Oklahoma City, who paced the field into the final round, learned that lesson the hard way. Rosburg, tied for the lead after 18 holes amd the midway leader, succumbed to the money “shakes’’ .on the third day and never recovered. The bespectacled, 28-year-old golfer finished with 287. Winlnger teed Off Sunday, one strike Op On Gene Littler and Wally Ulrich. His 54 hole card showed 209 strokes.

Indians Lose, American Loop Race Tightens NEW YORK (INS) but nobody appears to be willing to let anybody get oat of t*ach in the American League’s fantastic four team pennant scramble. The defending champion Cleveland Indians are the latest members of the league's "big four to snake me discovery. The Indians, who had *g>n aft straight and "balooned” their lead to two games, quickly had their fly away dreams seduced Sunday when they lost, 7 to 6 to the Kansas City Athletics. The tribal slip was pounced on by the New York Yankees, who moved into second place, a half game away, by swaping the lowly Baltimore Orioles, 7 to 8 and 20 to 6 in a dovbleheader. Hot to be ontdone, although they •Upped into third place, the Chicago White Sox reduced Cleveland's margin over them to one game when they edged the fading Detroit Tigers, 5 to 4 in a single contest. The Chisox trail the I!Yankees by two percentage points and the Indians by five. The Boston Red Sox. supposedly “dead” because they lost three straight, became Wry much alive, again by sweeping a pair from the Washington Senators, 9 to 6 and 2 to 1. The Bosox are back in contention, 3% games out. Brooklyn’s National iLeague lead fematned a mountainous 15% games when the Dodgers split a pair of overtime games with the Philadelphia Phillies. PeaiTess Robin Roberts, top winner in the majors, scored his 19th triumph of the season When he beat Don Newcombe (18-3), 3 to 2 in a ten Inning opener and the Dodgers bounced back to win the second contest 5 to 4 in 13 innings. The second place Milwaukee Braves edged the Chciago Cubs, 4 to 3 in ten; the third piSce New York Giants took two from Pittsburgh, 4 o 2 and 3 to 1 and the St. Louis Cardinals went ten innings before defeating the Cincinnati Klusnewski's, 5 to 4. Big Ted socked homers No. 40 and 41 to account for ail the Redlegs runs. Lefty Bobby Shahfz and Art Ditmar limited Cleveland to six hits while their mates banged out 15 off Mike Garcia and two relievers. Hector Lopez walloped a three run homer for the Athletics and Jim Hegan and Bobby Avila produced rouTidtrippers for the Tribe.The Yankees put the slug on former teammate Ed Lopat in winning their opener from Baltimore.Hank Bauer and Mickey Mantle each smashed two run homers off the veteran lefty and the blows helped Whitey Ford get his 13th triumph. Bauer also hit a two run homer in the nightcap and Yogi Berra chipped in a three run blast as the Bombers belted 20 hits. Jim Konstanty, who relieved in both contests, helped southpaw Tommy Bryne notch his 11th win in the nightcap. But that was the last bit of pitching the veteran reliefer will do for the Yankees for some time. Sunday night, the club announced that Konstanty and rookie infielddr Bobby Richard so had been optioned to Richmond of the international League. The move was made to make room for “Rip” Colemnn, a pitcher called up from Denver, and Bob .Grim, a hurler wNo just got ofi the disabled list.' Lefty Billy' Pieroe scored his first win over Detroit since 1953. The southpaw posted his ninth win of the season with a five hitter that included home runs by A1 Kaline, (N'O. 24) and Bill Tuttle.
