Dodgers Defy Team Jinx In Doubleheader By JOHN GRIFFIN (United Press Sport* Writer) The Brooklyn Dodgers defied their "doubleheader jinx" today and said they would gladly play two ganies anytime just to have Roy Campanella back in the lineup. Ordinarily, the Dodgers would be crying over the rain that washed out Thursday night’s game against the New York Giants and forced them to schedule a twinight doubleheader for tonight. The Bums are a poor twin bill team, the record book insists. Here are the figures: Brooklyn has played 17 doubleheaders this year—sweeping five, dropping six, and splitting six—a total of 16 games won and 18 lost. That indicates they probably will lose at least one game tonight. But Campy, the National League's “Most Valuable Player” last year, is better than statistics, the Dodgers feel. (Roy would have mis-

aed Thursday night’s game because of a bruised right index finger, and his. bat would have been missed against Giant southpaw Johnny Antonelli. , But now Campanella be able to face Antonelli tonight and catch both games. This could balance out the break given the Milwaukee Braves by an off day Thursday, that enabled slugger Eddie Mathews to rest his injured ankle an extra 24 hours. The Dodgers • Giants was the only action scheduled Thursday involving a pennant contender in either league. In she only two games played Thursday, the Washington Senators scored six runs in the fifth inning to beat the Baltimore Orioles. 7-5, and pitcher Frank Lary of the Detroit Tigers pitched a four-hitter to shut out the Kansas City A’s, 6-0. Three Oriole pitchers were battered in the Senators' big which included a three-run homer by Jose Valdivielso. Eddie Yost of the Senators set a club record by drawing his 142nd walk of the season and pitcher Dean Stone gained the victory, although he allowed 13 of the Orioles’ 14 hits. Lary fanned four and did not walk a man. He was backed up by homers by Ray Boone, Bob Wilson, Wayne Belardi, and Charley Maxwell.

Aussies Favored In National Meet FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (UP) — Ham Richardson, Vic Seixas and Dick Savitt carried America's last hopes in thte quarter-finals of the U. S. tennis championship today agai,nst three of tile five Australians' who are threatening to create the first all-foreign final since 1933. Seixas has been playing under his usual form and was no better than an even choice against Aussie Ashely Cooper. Savitt insists he's not in shape to beat a cagey sharpshooter like little Ken IRosewall and only Richardson appeared to have enough power to pull out a victory against southpaw Neale Fraser. Ham won their last meeting in the recent final at Orange, N. J. While the -last three surviving Yanks were fighting to stay alive, tournament favorite Lew Hoad figured to win easily against his less talented countryman, Roy Emerson, in a match washed out by a heavy rain Thursday. In the women's division, Althea Gibson of New York was matched against Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif., and Mrs. Dorothy Head Knode of Forest Hills against Mrs. Betty Pratt of Jamaica, 8.W.1., with places in the semi-finals at stake. George Yardley Signs Contract With Pistons FORT SVAYNE, Ind. — George Yardley, who set an all-time scoring record for the Fort Wayne Pistons in leading them to the western division championship of the National Basketball Association last season, has signed his 1956-57 contract, it was announced today Yardley, a slender 6-5 forward who was a Stanford and A.A.U. star before turning professional three years ago, tallied 1,233 points in 71 games for a 17.3 average. He also led the Pistons in rebounds with 686.

Notre Dame's Fortunes Hinge On Sophomores SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP) — Notre Dame's sophomore football players will have to cOme through or the Irish will have a chilly season, Coach Terry Brannan, heading into his third season as Coach at his alma mater, predicted today. "We haven’t found our best 22 football players yet,” he said, “but we’re going to have to go through the season with two (earns, and we’re trying to sprinkle the sophomores in with the veterans.” Already two sophomores have earned starting jobs on the first eleven, tackle Bob Wetoska and guard Angelo Nosca, and a third, Al Ecuyer, would have a similar distinction, except that he plays behind Nosca. But other rookies who could turn into stalwarts for the Irish include ends Gary Myers and (Ron Toth, tackles Don Lawrence and Bronko Nagurski, and backs Jim Just, Nick Pietrosante and Norm Odyniec. Even with a standout AllAmerican candidate, at one backfield spot, quarterback Paul Hornung, and Jim Morse a certain starter at one halfback post. Brennan was concerned about the attack. Aubrey Lewis, formerly a starter. was behind Morse at the moment, but he could move up to the first team, should Brennan switch Morse to right half. Meanwhile. John McDonnell was playing right half, and he could hold the job, or Just could take over, or perhaps Dean Studer, now working at fullback. Should Studer become a halfback, Aust would switch to fullback. ' Brennan already has shifted several players, moving Wetoska from end to tackle in one transfer and Nosca from tackle to guard, and hb was sure there'd be more before the season begins, or possibly after the opening game against Southern Methodist Sept. 22. “We re experimenting,” he said. "But one thing, if one player is better on defense than another, he’ll be in the lineup.” Brennan had veterans for three line positions, and a tested reserve for a fourth with George Groble at the other tackle, Dick Prendergast at left end. Bob Gaydos at the other guard, and either Lou Loncarlc or Ed Sullivan at center. But the right end spot was wide open since transfer of Wetoska. Myers could get it or Toth, or maybe Jim Munro, or Bob Scannell. And after Brennan settles on his first team, then he wants to develop a second team which he can throw into action at any time to give the starters a rest. “I've got confidence in the second team" he said, “and I won’t be afraid to use them in any situation." Brennan had no idea what success the Irish would have this year, hut he said that last year's record of eight wins and two losses could just as well have been two wins and eight losses. “Every team we re playing this year is better,” he said. “They’ll all be deeper than we are. I just don't know how we’ll come out.’ But he was pleased that the Irish open against SMU, a team he described as “in the same situation we are.” and also was. happy that Notre Dame would have j an open date after the ; first game. 1 “It'll be much better then than ! any other time in the season,” he i said. “M’e know’ there’ll be mis- : takes, and that gives us two weeks to work on them.” Major League Leaders NATIONAL LEAGUE Player A Club GAB R H Pct.
