National Open Gets Underway At Rochester NATIONAL OPEN IR(4M3 ROCHESTER. N. Y. UP) —The country’s beat shot makers tee off today for the flrat round of the National Open golf tournament with Ben Hogan and Cary Middlecoff, two of the six former champions in the field, listed as favorites. The field of 160 starts play at 8 a.m. EOT, with threesomes teeing off at eight minute intervals. Hogan, seeking an unprecedented fifth victory, and Middlecoff were quoted at 3-1. • .'' V • • • Right back of them came Sam Snead, four times runner-up in the open but never" a winner, at 4-1 and Gene Littler, the California pro who appears to be at the top of his game, at 5-l. Master uhahiplon Jackie Burke was held at 6-1. Estimates of the score it would take to win ranged from even par 280 for the four rounds to 287. Most of the golfers agreed that the 6,902-yard sun-baked Oak HUI Country Club layout was one of the > fairest tests of golf on which the open ever has been played. But with the hot weather the greens became lightning fast and a lot of golfers anticipated putting trouble. However, they liked the short cut rough and the way they could recover from wild tee shots. Middlecoff, playing "very well” thought 281 would win it. Hogan predicted it might take 280. Burke said he would settle for 284. In the past 54 open tourneys, there have been 19 playoffs for the crown, the last time last year when unheralded Jack Fleck of Davenport, lowa, beat Hogan at San Francisco. Fleck hasn't won anything since and his chances are not regarded too highly here as he was listed at 20-1. In addition to Hogan. Middlecoff and Fleck, the other former champs in the field are Julius Boros, Ed Furgol and Lew Worsham. Os the three, Furgol has turned in the best practice round scores. The field plays an. 18-hole round today gnd another 18 Friday, Then the low 50 and ties will qualify for the final two rounds of play on Saturday. If a playoff is necessary there will be a playoff round of 18 holes on Sunday. Trade in a Good town — Decatur.

Robin Roberts Loses Fourth Game In Row By FRED DOWN(United Preaa Sports Writer) Robin Roberts is being belted around like a batting practice pitcher these., day* but don't bet too much that h«')l fall to make 20 victories for the seventh straight season. Roberta was knocked out of the box in the fourth inning Wednesday night when the Milwaukee Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-6. The loss was Robin's fourth straight and left him with a 5-8 season’s record. An ordinary pitcher wouldn’t have much chance of reaching the 20-mark if he were saddled with that record on this date. But Roberts is no ordinary pitcher and he’s won 20 in past seasons .when his record wasn’t much better on June 14 than It is now. In 1954, for example, he was only 7-7 on June 14, yet finished with a 23-15 record. And, in 1952, he was only 7-5 on June 14 but closed with a 21-2 burst for a season record of 28-7. In 1950 he had eight victories’, in 1951 and 1955 he had nine and in 1953 had posted 10 victories — each time going on, of course, to win 20 or more. In the meantime, however, it’s mighty frustrating for the lastplace Phillies to see their 350,000-a-year pitcher fail to win in four tries since May 24. He was tagged for nine hits and six earned runs in 3 1-3 innings Wednesday night to send his earned run average soaring to 5.04. Roberts held the Braves to a single run through the first three frames but they broke loose from a 13-game hitting slump enmasse in the fourth with a barrage that included a three-run homer by Del Crandall, a two-run homer by Ed

Mathews and triples by Danny O'Connell and Johnny Logan. O’Connell also connected for two other triples to tie the single game record held by 15 players. Five unearned runs enabled the Chicago Cubs to beat the New York Giants, 6-5, in the other Na* tional League game. Bob Rush won his sixth game for the Cubs, still streaking with 10 wins in 13 games. Willie Mays drove in three runs with two homers for the Giants. In the American League, the Chicago White Sox finally beat the New York Yankees after six straight losses when Ron Northey and Luis Aparicio drove in three runs each in a 7-5 triumph. Larry Doby also contributed h’is first hoiner of the year to the White Sox* 10-hlt attack that routed Bob Turley and brought veteran Howie Pollet his third win. Billy Loes, acquired last month from the Brooklyn Dodgers, made a sensational six-inning debut for the Baltimore Orioles but ft went for naught when the Detroit Tigers beat relief pitcher George Zuverink, 2-0, on a ninth-inning homer by Charley Maxwell... Paul Foytack and Steve Gromek collaborated in the shutout for the Tigers.' ... . ' , . Loes, an eccentric right-hander with brilliant stuff, yielded only one hit and one walk in six innings and struck out five Tigers. He was taken out by manager Paul Richards because ot the 98degree temperature in Baltimore. Vic Power and Tim Thompson collected five hits each to lead the Kansas City Athletics to a 21-hit, 13-4 romp over the Washington Senators. Gus Zernial and Hector Lopez added homers to the KC blitz which enabled Art Dltmar to win his sixth game. The Cleveland Indians and Boston Red Sox battled three hours and 52 minutes in 97-degree beat

(UP) — Jolting Joey Giambra, who displayed new aggressiveness while beating England's Johnny Sullivan again on television Wednesday night, asked today for a "springboard” to the middleweight crown. "Get me Gene Fullmer or Tiger Jones or any top man who can bounce me toward a title fight," he told promoter Norman Rothschild. Giambra, the dark-haired sharpshooter from Buffalo, N. Y., said his second straight unanimous decision over ex-British champion Sullivan at War Memorial Auditorium should complete their AngloAmerican competition. The 23-year-old Sullivan did the forcing in their previous bout in the same ring on April 8, when Giambra also took a unanimous verdiet despite his strictly “layback tactics.” Giambra, scaling 156 pounds to English Johnny’s 159%, did the forcing Wednesday night; but it was his solid left counter-hooks to the head that did the most damage. Those and his whistling right leads. The three ring officials favored Giambra on a rounds basis, 6-4, 6-3-1 and 6-4-1; which was not much different from the 5-4-1, 5-44, 6-3-1 on April 6.
