Braves Regain Sole Lead In Win Over Bums By FRED DOWN (United Pro** Sport* Writer) There’* no rest today for the Milwaukee Braves who find their s*a*on-tons “jinx team’’ the next obstacle in the rocky road to the National League flag. Relieved, but hardly fresh, after Wednesday’* pressure-filled, 8-7 triumph over the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Braves have another "toughle" in a twi-night doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies. The fifthplace Phillies have a 10-8 edge over the Braves and are the only team in the circuit with a chance to beat them in their season serie*. A sweep would boost the Braves' lead to two games, a split would leave them six percentage points in front and a double loss would enable the idle Brooklyn Dodgers to take over the top rung undisputedly for the first time since April 28. Warren Spahn is slated to try for the 200th victory of his career in one game with rookie Bob Trowbridge (3-1) going in the other for the Braves. For the Phillies, Robin Roberts and Jack Meyer are slated to hurl with Roberts gunning for his 18th win.

Basilio whips Johnny Saxton To Regain Title 1 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (UP) — Fiery Carmen Basilio, who recaptured the welterweight crown from Johnny Saxton Wednesday night and is casting covetous eye* on the middleweight title, credited “better condition and smart boxing — in tactics” today for his savage victory. The 29-year-old Carmen gave Saxton a bloody beating and stopped him in the ninth round of their return fight before 8,546 in War Memorial Auditorium, but he must grant New Yorker Johnny a “rubber title match” before he goes after Sugar Ray Robinson's 160pound crown. For Carmen and his handlers, at least, the technical knockout triumph settled the six-month dispute over who should have won at Chicago last March, when Saxton took the title from Basilio on a controversial decision. "I fought a much smarter fight last night,” said the ex-onion farmer from nearby Chittenango, N.Y.', who became the ninth man in welterweight history to win back the title after losing it. 1 "I used boxing-in tactics?’ he continued, “and cut off his retreats when he tried to circle, instead of following him aroXnd the circle, like at Chicago.” . ... Happy Carmen, with a slight cut on his left cheek and a somewhat swollen nose said: “I won the fight at Chicago too, but didn’t get it, although I a bit stale then from over-training for the postponed bout. And I didn t fight smart?’ “But I won’t fight in Chicago,” Basilio declared. Saxton, who will be out of action for weeks because of the badly ripped left side of his mouth, likewise said: “I won't fight again in Syracuse. Basilio got away with butting and other things last night, here in his own backyard.” Johnny said the ripped mouth, which required nine stitches, was caused by a butt, not by a punch. Saxton will receive about $71,400 from the record central New York $134,939 gross gate and $75,000 TVradio money. His 40 percent of all net receipts is twice that given Basilio. who will wind up with about $35,700. Johnny, favored at 7-5 in the late betting, suffered such a battering Wednesday night as he suffered the second kayo in his career of 60 fights, that each of the three ring officials gave him only one of eight completed rounds. Indianapolis Wins Denver Is Defeated By UNITED PRESS The Omaha Cardinals lambasted the Dentef Bears, 22-3, to take a 2-0 game lead in the American Association semi - final Shaughnessy playoffs Wednesday night. In the other best-of-seven series, the Indianpolis Indians blanked the Minneapolis Millers, 4-0, to even the games at l-all. MAJOR 1 National League W. L. Pets. G.B.

Fort Wayne's Open Is Underway Today FORT WAYNE (UP) — Ed Furgol, currently the hot-ahot on th* professional golf awing, waa the favorit* today to give the seventh annual $15,000 Fort Wayne Open • qew champion for the seventh time. Not aince thia show was Inaugurated in 1950 has the winner repeated. At least two ex-champs, last year’* winner Dow Finsterwald and 1954 titlist Doug Ford, were among the more than 100 player* who teed off today in the 72-hole contest At the halfway mark, the field will be chopped to the low 60 pro* and 10 ranking amatuers to gp the final two rounds Saturday and Sunday. / Furgol, the sharpshooter with the withered arm, U.S. Open winner two years ago, grabbed first money in last week’s Rubber City Open at Akron, Ohio. He also won at Milwaukee recently and was runnerup at Detroit to earn hi* favorite’s role. Hi* Akron triumph was particulary impressive because he started without benefit of practice round. He fired a final round of 66, six under par, to snatch victory and $3,000 from Arnold Palmer. Should Furgol falter, Ford, last year’s PGA champion, rated a good chance to add to his laurel*. Others included Bob Toski, Mike Souchak, Bob Rosburg, Tommy Bolt, Fred Haas and Palmer. Souchak, who had a hot streak last year, tied the course record of 6?, 10 under par, here two years ago. That mark probably will stand, but observers predicted there was little doubt the flat, 6,545-yard, par 72 Elks Country Club course will take a thorough beating. Coach Bob Worthman Home From Hospital The Decatur Yellow Jackets got a morale boost at practice Wednesday evening when head coach Bob Worthman put in an appearance. Worthman stated that he was mighty glad to be home, and anxious to get back with the team. The recently operated on coach won’t be able to assume complete control of the team for a while, but he can assisL His doctors advised him to do plenty of walking. Bob will be present at the home opener Friday night. Fort Wayne Ploys In * Title Game Tonight MILWAUKEE (UP) — The Fort Wayne, Ind. Dairymen and Hawaii face each other tonight in the championship game Os the global semi-pro baseball series. It was a repeat of the 1955 series title game when the United States and Hawaii squared off and the U.S. won. Hawaii advanced Wednesday night by beating Japan 9-3.
