Friend Blanks Cardinals For Seventh Win NEW YORK (INS)-rßob Friend is a lad who respects authority and does what he is told, even if it meaps breaking tradition and pulling the Pittsburgh Pirates out of last place in the National Lea* gue. Two years ago Branch Rickey fixed a stern eye on his rookie pitcher and told him he had better begin producing, or else. Friend took off like a nervous filly under a heavy bat. and. if anything, keeps galloping faster and faster al though trying to outdistance wbjrtever it Was Rickey meant V "or elge.”.„ u Wednesday night Pittsburgh’s Friend in need became the league’s leading hurler, winning his seventh victory of the season, a brilliant 6-to-0 shutout over the St. Louis Cardinals. He has lost two games. The victory was all the more remarkable 'since he took to the mound after only two days’ rest. The Pirates have been acting more like their fierce namesakes this season than at anytime in the past ten years. They are in fifth place, true, but only a game and a half out of first spot.. Dale Long. another Pirate youngster, also has a lot to do with the Pirate resurgence, but it was the kind words of manager Bobby Bragan which brought Long to maturity, not a grim warning from Rickey. Bragan took the hard - hitting first baseman aside when he was struggling for success under pressure and said: . ‘‘Looks here Dale, I’m going to stick with you because I know sooner or later you're going to be a great hitter, so just relax and see if you don’t bear me out.’ Wednesday .night Long blasted his eleventh homer of the campaign, a tremendous shot that cleared the 486-foot marker in right center field. Only two other players — Bill Terry and Dolph , Camilli -T- are known to have ’ cleared the wall at that point. Long is hitting the ball at .409, all of which bears out Bragan’s prophecy.

While Pittsburgh was climbing closer to first place in the senior circuit, Philadelphia dropped a notch closer to the cellar spot occupied by Chicago. The Cubs nipped the Phillies, 5 to 4. in a night contest at Philadelphia. Cincin-

29 Cars Seek Four Qualifying Spots INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The Novi garage area at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway had reason for optimism today as weathermen gave car owners and drivers the first green flag in days. Practice has been extremely limited since the first 29 qualifiers made the May 30th 33-car lineup certain of a record qualifying speed. But since then the winds or rains have kept most activity at the speed plant confined to the garage areas. However, Ed Russo took the unqualified Novi out for a practice run Wednesday and hit 139 mph despite high winds. No one currently believes 139 mph will be fast enough to assure a car of a starting position in the race but most observers felt that was a good speed in Wednesday's high wind. Eddies uncle, Paul RusSo, got the other Novi in with a 143 mph qualifying run last week-end. Qualifications will be completed this Saturday and Sunday. There are 29 cars at the track ready to try. Duke Nalon, who was leading the SOO-mile race in 1949 when an axle broke and he crashed in flames in the jinxed front - drive Novis. arrived at the track Wednesday and hoped to take a ride in the rear drive Novi still unqualified. Speculation was Nalon might standby as relief driver for the Novis on race day.

Says Southern Cal Overpaid Athletes LOS ANGELES (INS) —An “hon e»t confession” by all alumni groups, followed by the adoption of a "realistic" code, was suggested today as the way out of the Pacific Coast Conference’s subsidised athlete dilemma. Prominent members of the University of Southern California’s recruiting agency, the Trojan club, said they would bare their records to the conference if other alumni groups would do likewise. They called for action to clean up “the whole mess.” One said: “AU of us are equaUy guilty. It is true that some alumni groups have more money to spend than others. But as far as violating the rules is concerned, we’re all In the same boat” Before the SC alumni members came out with their suggestions for curing the biggest headache the coast conference has ever experiensed an irate alumnus of penalised UCLA accused SC booster groups of making undercover payments totalling 171,236 to 60 Trojan athletes during the last two years. The charge was made by J. Miller Leavey, a deputy district attorney. He said that he had documentary evidence to suport his charge and that the evidence has been submitted to conference officials at Victoria, B. C. Leary said that some players were paid as much as S9OO a year above the S4O a month they are allowed to receive.

Syria May Follow Egyptians' Move May Follow Egypt \ In Recognizing Reds WASHINGTON (INS) — American diplomats in the Middle East have been ordered to make it plain that the U. S. would frown on any country following Egypt's lead in recognising Red China. The order went out from the state department within 24 hours after the May 16 announcement that Cairo had tossed over Nationalist China in favor of the Peiping regime. Each of the American envoys in the other Arab League nations was told to reiterate that Washington still firmly opposes recognizing Communist China so long as that country stands branded as an aggressor. The U. S. action may have come too late in the case of Syria. The Syrian ambassador to Egypt Abel Rahman El Azem, was quoted by:Cairo radio Tuesday as saying his country will recognize Red China soon. Syrian premier Said El tihazzi also told reporters that his country is considering following Egypt's lead. Both President Eisenhower and seeretitry ot state John Foster Dullee have—in the past two days —expressed concern over the recognition move taken by Egyptian premier Gamal Abdel Nasser. Wednesday Mr. Eisenhower labeled the Cairo decision a •’mistake’' and on the day before Dulles said he '‘regrets’* the action. Egypt was the first Arab nation to recognize the Peiping government. The only other Middle East country which has diplomatic relations with (Red China is Egypt'* J rival, Israel. / Providence — Nickel silver is used for architectural hardware and decorative fixtures because of its resistance to atmospheric corrosion and its ease of cleaning.
