Mathews Joins * Hank Aaron In graves' Drive q By FRED DOWN 0 (United Press Sports Writer) q Ed Mathews joined with the 0 streaking Hank Aaron today to put the Milwaukee Braves’ pinj nant express back in high gear. Placed, between Aaron and long- " ball hitting Joe Adcock in Fred U Haney’s latest effort to snap him » out of a season-long slump, Ma- * thews has knocked tn seven runs while homering in each of bis last four games. The irrepressible , Aaron, meanwhile, stretched his “ batting streak to a season’s high J of 22 consecutive games during ’ which he’s hit .424. j, Mathews and Aaron drove in seven runs Sunday as the Braves drubbed the Pittsburgh Pirates, ’ 5-1 and 5-0, to hold their two-game L lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers and stretch their margin to three * games over the rained out Cincin- * nati Rediegs. Chicago at New York also was rained out. Mathews walloped a solo homer * and Aaron a three-run round-trip- - per in the first game to help Gene } Conley register his sixth victory - and hand Ron Kline his 12th loss. > In the nightcap, Mathews whacked 3 a two-run hemer and Aaron delivered a triple and single as Lew » Burdette scored his fifth shutout . and 13th win of the season. Aaron’s four bits in seven tries raised his league-leading batting average i to .345 —20 points more than secI ond-piace Stan Musial. The victories stretched the Braves' newest spurt to three straight and gave them a 10-1 edge over the Pirates since Haney took over on June 16. Duke Snider smashed three home runs to raise his season to- , tai to 30 and lead the Dodgers to 7-0 and 5-3 triumphs over the St. Louis Cardinals. Sal Maglie threw a four-hitter for his fifth win of the season and the 100th of his career in the first game while relief pitcher Ed Roebuck won his fourth game of the year in the . nightcap. The wwld champions have won 14 of their last 17 games and 18 of 24 since manager Walt Alston initiated his “give ’em hell” campaign on July 14. In the American League, the New York Yankees suffered their sixth straight defeat when they bowed to the Detroit Tigers, 8-5, but held their seven-game lead when the second-place Cleveland Indians lost to the Boston Red Sox. 2-1. Al Kaline’s three-run homer helped the Tigers sweep the threegame ssries with the Yankees despite homers by Mickey Mantle, Bill SkowTO'n and Yogi Berra. Mantles was his 37th of the campaign —equalling his previous high for a season and putting hl mil games ahead of Babe (Ruth's record 1927 pace. Jim Banning won his first 'game while Torn Sturdivant suf- . fared his sixth loss. Ted Williams hit his 12th homer of the year in the sixth inning to give the Red Sox a sweep of their three-game set with the Indians. Dave Sister went all the way in a'gise called after fcxhsJß because of rain to score his fifth triumph and help hand Bob Lemon his ninth loss against 14 wins. Ted Red Sox now trail the Indians by only 1% games. The Baltimore Orioles the Chicago White Sox for the first time at Comiskey Park this year when they swept a doubleheader, 5-4 and 7-2. Bob Hale tripled and George Zuverink singled to drive in the decisive run in the 10th inning of the opener, while Tito Francona’s three-rnn, seventh-in-ning triple was the key blow in clinching the nightcap. -Pete Runnels had four singles and Clint Courtney two doubles and a single to lead the Washington Senators to a 10-4 decision over the Kansas City Athletics in the other AL game. Chuck Stobbs went all the way in 98-degree heat to win his 10th game. Roy Sievers. Hector Lopez and Vic Power homered. U. S. Beats Mexico In Davis Cup Play RYE, N. Y. Aug. 6 (UP) — U. S. Davis Cup captain Billy TalberL appraising -1 victory over Mexico in the American Zone tennis final, indicated today he’ll rely on • veterans Vic Seixas and Ham Richardson from here on. "They’re on the team as far as I’m concerned," said Talbert. "I’ve told all tfie others it’s wide open Vic and Ham but I don't see any of them right How taking over the top two places.” The U. S. next plays Italy’s European champions at Forest Hills, N. Y'„. §ept. 28-30 and If successful in that one—"as we should be,” said Talbert—it’s on to Australia where India must be met in the last inter-zone final before the challenge round against Australia’s cup dcfbndqrsl in Deccm- - ber. ,■ - ■v.

| Toda/s Sport Parade | By JUNIE MCMAHON (Member Bowling Hall of Fame) i (Written For The United Press) f PARAMUS, NJ. (UP) — You can take it from me, baseball is not , the national pastime any more. It's . bowling. , There are now more than 30 t million bowlers in the United States and that figure is still growi Ing. Now that bowling has hit the I television screens you can look . for every kid who is able to lits > a ball to be tossing them at their home alleys. It's great. It’s heall thy, and it's the only sport in I which you can have as much fun ► with a score of 100 as you can with a 200 or better. i 'Bowling has changed a lot since I I began rolling them for a living, t People used to look on bowling ali leys as the did on pool rooms. ! Parents once considered them a bangout for hoodlums. It was nev- ; er that bad, of course, but it's all i different today. Take for example, I Paramus Bowling, where I do I most of my bowling now and where I have my "pro" shop. 1 The Paramus lanes. 20 of them, 1 were built last year. It is a beau- ' tiful, modern building, completely 1 air-conditioned. The alleys are ’ equipped with AMF automatic 1 pinspotters, speeding up the game tremendously. Nobody ever dreami ed of comfortable summer bowling. ■ Today, the alleys are operating the year-round and summer bowling is almost as popular as winter kegling. On any day of the week, you come in and see a mother and daughter or a father and son test- ! Ing their skills. Industrial leagues. backed by their various companies, can't find enough alley space to run their tournaments. That is why more and more alleys are being built. That is why television has picked up the sport and is' giving it the treatment it should bare had long ago. I have been lucky in bowling It has given me a good living through the years ahd I was for- ’ tunate enough to come up with some great years. Os course, the biggest thrill was being named to the “Hall of Fame.” I was"* twice individual mateh game champion — in 1949-50 and agairf in 1951-52* I held the 'American Bowling Con- ’ grees 10-year average cliampion- ‘ ship and was named "bowler of the year" once. You have to get ! j breaks to do those things. I got I I plenty of breaks. . Bowling, than any other sport, is a game of tremendous ( skill for the professional. You can’t depend on luck too much. You roll under severe pressure. One slip can cost you a match. Only the other night, on television. I watched George Young.'a great , bowler, roll 11 straight strikes. A 12th strike would have given him' a perfect 300 game and a SIO,OOO bonus. He missed by two pins. The pressure got him. You xj.ll soon 8e « the day when bowling becomes an international sport. We are already considering sending two five-man teams overseas, just like the Globetrotters do in basketball. Harrison Winner Os All American Meet CHICAGO (UP) — Dutch Harrison, pro golf’s "Arkansas Traveler,” cashed a $3,420 pay check today because he "coastqd home" when the golf course grapevine told him he had victory cinched in Tam O'Shanter’s $25,000 "AnAmerican’’ golf tourney. "I wouldn’t say I played under , wraps,” he said, “but I played cautiously.” Harrison, at 46. the oldest man i ever to win the tourney, clinched i the crown when he tourned the I first nine in a four under par 32. i Hafrison finished the 18 with a five under par 67 for a total of 278. 10 under par for the 72 holes, and he had a two stroke bulge on Earl Stewart Jr„ Dallas.
