Decafur Pony League Teams Win And Lose Decatur’s Pony League teams divided honors in a double header Monday night at Worthman field. Monmouth blanked the Cardinals in the opener, 94), and the Braves defeated Berne, 5-1, in the nightcap. The Cardinals outhlt Monmouth in the opener, 7-6, but boys from north of Decatur played errorless ball in contrast to seven miscues by the Cardinals. The winners scored three runs in the Second on a hit by Busick, plus a walk and two errors. A single tally scored in the fifth and the final two in the sixth. Bulmahn, Monmouth hurler, i scattered the Cardinals’ seven hits over six Innings, only two coming in one frame. The Braves took advantage of five Berne errors to chalk up their victory in the nightcap. The winners scored once in the first inning on a walk, error and Eichenauer’s safety. Hits by Cancino and Eichenauer, plus a walk and long fly, were good for two runs in the third, and the Decatur team picked up single runs in the fifth and sixth. Berne scored its lone run in the fourth on a double by Baumgartner, an infield out and a sacrifice fly. Announcement was made that Pony League games here on Monday nights will start at 6 o’clock, beginning next week. Monmouth AB R H E Busick, ss 3 110 M.

Louise Suggs Wins Ladies PGA Title PITTSBURGH (UP) — Louise Suggs, who thought she “didn’t have a ghost of a chanCe,” won the 37,500 Ladies’ PGA championship Monday at Churchill Valley Country Club with a sizzling twounder men’s par 68 that tied the course record for women and set a new mark with a three-under-par 31 on the final nine. “I am completely overcome with what happened," the smiling Miss Suggs, of Sea Island, Ga.. said accepting a check for 61,316 in top prize money.” The LPGA president, who proved to her fellow members who was boss by erasing a threestroke deficit going into the final round to win by the same margin over a “tensed - up" Wiffi Smith, said she honestly didn’t believe she could win. Playing Bad Golf “I had been playing bad golf all week, but in the final round my drives turned straight, my irons were working and I surely • won’t complain about my putts,’’ she admitted before taking a three week breather. She plans to follow the rest of the touring women pros into the Ladies’ National Open the last week of June at the Wing Foot Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y. For Miss Suggs, victory came after she put together rounds of 69-74-74-68 for a five-over-par total of 285. The 20-year-old Miss Smith, playing out of St. Clair, Mich., finished second with a 288 for $921 in prize money. Splitting the $755 third-place money were last year’s LPGA champ Marlene Bauer Hagge, Dallas, Tex., and Beverly Hanson, Indio, Calif., each with 2905. Next came Joyce Ziske, Waterford, Wis., 293; Marilyn Smith, Wichita, Kan., 294, and Patty Berg, St. Andrews, 111., 295. Two-Stroke Penalty The turning point of the 72-hole tournament came on the 14th tee where freckle-faced Wiffi, playing ] in her first pro tour, sent her } drive whistling into the woods to t the right for an automatic two- ■, stroke penalty. She was one-over ; at the time and wound up with < a heart-breaking seven for the 1 par-four hole. Meanwhile, Miss Suggs was j building up steam. She was one- j over-par at 37 making the turn, ] after sinking her first birdie on ■, No. 9. She also flashed birdies on < the 11th, 15th and 17th greens ] with the last one set up by a daz- j zling five wood shot that landed 2ft feet from the pin. By that i time, youthful Wiffi was too far , behind to recover and finished : with a 74. - , . Tigers To Practice Wednesday Evening The Tigers of the Little League will hold a practice session at 5 o’clock Wednesday evening at the Stratton Place diamond. AU members are urged to be present, Argentine Fighter y Wins Ninth In Row NEW YORK (UP) — Unbeaten Alex Miteff of Argentina, who registered his ninth straight victory Monday night, was matched today for a 10-rounder with former heavyweight contender Bob Baker of Pittsburgh at St. Nicholas Arena, July 8. Miteff. weighing 203% pounds, gave a thorough trouncing to Willi Besmanoff of Germany, 190 ft, in their TV 10-rounder at St. Nick's Monday night. He won the unanimous decision; 7-2-1, 6-3-1, 9-1.

Braves Defeat Dodgers, Gain Tie For Third By FBED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Milwaukee Braves are the majors’ No. 1 enigma this year because they’re playing like alsorans against the weak teams but look like champions against their chief National League rivals. The Braves again rose to the challenge of a top contender Monday night when Bob Buhl’s fourhit pitching and Ed Mathews’ tworun homer gave them a 3-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The win put the . Braves into a third-place tie with the Dodgers and moved them within a game and a half of the first-place Cincinnati Redlegs, who lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2. Tigers Take Yanks The Detroit Tigers walloped the New York Yankees, 9-4, for their sixth victory in eight meetings with the world champions and the Boston Red Sox clubbed the Kansas City As, 11-4, in the only other big league activity Buhl, who beat the Dodgers eight times last season, did it for the second time this year although six walks kept him in frequent trouble. The big right' hander struck out five for his fifth victory of the year. Mathews, who hit only .218 against Brooklyn last season, put the Braves ahead with his thirdinning homer and singles by Bill Bruton, Johnny Logan and Hank Aaron produced their other run in the eighth. Don Newcombe suffered the defeat and now stands 4-6 for the year. Gil Hodges had three of the Dodgers’ four hits and raised his league-leading average to .371. End Loss String The Pirates ended a string of 15 straight losses to Cincinnati dating back to last July 22 when Vem Law turned in a four-hitter. Law yielded a single to lead-off man Johnny Temple and Wally Post followed with a homer to give the Redlegs a quick 2-0 bulge, but he was tagged for only two more hits the rest of the way. Bill Virdon knocked in three runs with a single and a double to lead the Pirates’ 10-hit attack. Charley Maxwell smashed his ninth and 10th homers and drove in five runs to pace Detroit's 10hit attack on three Yankee pitchers. Al Kaline and Harvey Kuenn also homered for the Tigers while Mickey Mantle hit No. 15 and Hank Bauer homered for New York. Frank Lary got credit for the victory, although h(r~ueeded help from Al Aber to the eighth. Bob Turley suffered the loss. Dick Gernert’s two homers and a double drove in six runs for the Red Sox, who have scored 28 runs in three straight victories. Willard Nixon scattered 10 hits, including Hal Smith’s eighth home run, to win his fourth game while Alex Kellner suffered his fourth loss. Arcaro After 7th Belmont Triumph NEW YORK (UP>—Jockey Willie Shoemaker and trainer Johnny Nerud face a formidable barrier of Belmont Stakes success Satutday when they match wits with Eddie Arcaro and Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons. Shoemaker, who will ride Ralph Lowe’s Gallant Mart, and Nerud, the colt’s trainer, will be trying to win the SIOO,OOO classic for the first time. Arcaro will be shooting for his seventh Belmont triumph when he sends Wheatley Stable’s Bold Ruler out of the starting gate. And if Bold Ruler wins the mile-and-a-half race, he’ll also give Fitzsimmons, the 82-ycar-old dean of American trainers, his seventh Belmont victory. Arcaro, the master stake rider, probably will help make Bold Ruler the favorite at post time. But Gallant Man and Shoemaker are certain to be strong second choices and many expert horsemen undoubtedly will put their money on this pair. Bold Ruler defeated Gallant Man by inches in the mile-and-an-eighth Wood Memorial in April. But many observers bclievp Gallant Man, a compact, Englishbred colt, will handle the grueling Belmont distance better than Bold Ruler. Galant Man, with Shoemaker misjudging the finish line, lost the Kentucky Derby to Calumet’s Iron Liege by a nose while Bold Ruler was a well-beaten fourth. Bold Ruler then won the Preakness but Gallant Man did not run in that race. ,

Ben Hogan Is Favorite For National Open TOLEDO, Ohio (UP)— Although"' he admits he has been playing badly, Ben Hogan was installed as the 5-1 favorite today to score an unprecedented fifth victory in the National Open golf championship, which gets .underway Thursday at the re-designed Inverness course. Old pro Jimmy Demaret, young i Peter Thomson and Doug Ford > were equal second choices at 8-1; [ defending champion Cary MiddleI coff, Julius Boros and Sam Snead were bracketed at 10-1, and Dow Finsterwald, Gene Littler, Jackie > Burke, Arnold Palmer and Jay l Hebert were 15-1 longshots. ’ For the other 150 men who will seek gold and glory in this 57th edition of one of the world’s greati est tournaments it was “bet your money and take your pick.” Two Practice Rounds Hogan already has turned in practice rounds at Inverness, and the only thing you could say . for both rounds was that they were consistent. Each time, the littid Texan went out in 35 and i returned in 38 for identical 735. The par figures for the 6,919- . yard Inverness course are 34-36 i -70. However, despite Hoagn’s un- . impressive practice rounds, most . experts feel he rates the favorite’s i role because of his success'" in four , other Opens and the fact he wants ■ this fifth crown so much he can taste it. In addition, little Ben always • has favored Inverness.. He has won three four-ball championships , over the local coursa which he claims has the finest green? he ever has seen anywhere. Demaret also is familiar with the Inverness layout. He appeared in eight four - ball tournaments, here and won four of them, three I

of them as Hogan's partner. Dapper Jimmy knows you can always expect strong winds at Inverness, and he’s probably the best windy-day player on ths pro circuit. Thomsen Has Aim Thomson, the steady Australian who has won the British Open the last three years, would like to be the fourth foreign player to walk off with this championship. The last overseas winner was Ted Ray who won the 1920 crown on this same Inverness layout in 1930. Snead has been trying to win this one for 17 years and, according to the clubhouse gossip. “This could be Sam's year.” Ford, as the Masters .champion and the leading money winner on the circuit, also has his share of supporters. Palmer won the Rubber City Open only last Sunday at Akron in a playoff with Ford, then promptly tabbed the black-haired New Yorker as the player who will show ’em all home here this week end. , Mendyk Signs With Giants, Tigers NEW YORK (UP) — Dennis Mendyk, 190-pound Michigan State athlete, has signed with the New York football Giants and the Detroit Tigers. The Giants announced Monday they had signed Mendyk, an offensive halfback who was their third choice in the 1957 National Football League draft. The Tigefll foUowed with an announcement that Mendyk had signed a baseball contract and would report to Birmingham of the Southern Association some time after .June 19.
