WHITE SOX-YANKS STAGE BRAWLGAME

%• * 1 ’

IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG, as the New York Yankees and the White Sox squared off for the rubber game of their series in Chicago, for the players to do likewise. Seems Yanks’ Art Ditmar tossed one too close to the head of Sox outfielder Larry Doby, and the fight (above) was on. Doby hit Ditmar, Walt Dropo and Enos Slaughter hit each other. Combatants and peace-makers shown here are from the left: Elston Howard, Yanks' catcher; Doby; Larry Napp, an umpire; Gil McDougald (12), a couple of unidentified umpires holding Billy Martin (1) and Yankees' shortstop Dick Richardson (29) and. Enos Slaughter, who came off the bench. In the second inning, Jim Rivera of the White Sox hit a homer.

Jimmy Demaret Is Leader In National Open TOLEDO, Ohio (UP) — Husky Chick Harbert goes out this morning—one day late—to play a quick two holes which could tie or give him the first round lead in the U.S. Open golf championship. Jimmy Demaret, the 47-year-old golfing grandfather With the boyish disposition, grabbed the top spot Thursday with a scrambling two under par 32-36—68. But only darkness and dampness held Harbert, the former PGA champion, away from a chance-to take the lead and very ' probaßiy. tie*~tnrtgrtr- JtHimy the paee-setting rol% A near hurricane caused suspension of play in the opening round for more than an hour. On top of that, a late afternoon downpour bogged down the tempo of play even farther. Misses Headlines So when darkness set in, Harbert—needing only pars op the last two holes for a matching 68 —Walked disconsolately into the clubhouse without getting his crack at the headlines. Fourteen others took that walk with him and will go out along with Chick at 9 a.m. today to polish off the last few holes of the first round.

But none had the chance that eluded Harbert because of the damp combination of cloud-busted circumstances. Even if Harbert comes home with those two pars, his tie for the lead will be short-lived. Because second round play will be started at 8 a.m. and others will be making a determined run at the lead. Three of the most inspired challengers will be Masters champion Doug Ford, 1952 champion Julius Boros and young Ken Venturi, each of whom shot a fine one-under-par 69 which left them just one slim shot off the pace. Four At 70 And only one more shot back, at even par 70 were a quintet of hopeful shotmakers which included square - jawed Bud Ward of San Mateo, Calif.. Billy Joe Patton of Morganton, N.C., Dick Mayer of St. Petersburg, Fla., and Billy Maxwell and Bo Wininger, both of Odessa, Tex. SS round, was more hopeful than when they reported for the start of the tournament because the major casualty, of the opening day was the man most. of them feared worst of all—Bantam Ben Hogan. Hogan, favored to become the first man-to win the Open an unprecedented five times, came down with a chronic neuralgic pain which made it impossible for him to swing. He was given a delayed starting time, darted off to town to see a doctor and receive diathermy treatment, but then had to withdraw. As they moved into today’s second round, which will decide the low 50 and ties who battle it out in Saturday’s two jinal rounds, there were a number of others still in contention. Sammy Snead, four times a runner-up but never able to crack through, wasn’t too happy with his opening 74. Sftead Not Out But you still had to, count the Slammer among the possibilities, along with a group at 71 which included curly -’ haired Jackie Burke, three - time British Open champion Peter Thomson and defending champion Cary Middlecoff. . « Within striking distance, too, at 72 were such as Harvte Ward, Fred Hawkins, Roberto DiVicenzo, Jack Flee* and home town hope Frankie Stranahan. Gene Littler was at 73, along with longhitting George Bayer.

Braves Defeat Dodgers, Take National Lead By faILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Milwaukee bounced into first place in the National League today with fists flying and the Yankees literally fought their way to within four games of the American League lead. But Ted Williams got in the best "punch" of all with a record-smashing home run spree. ■* The Braves moved a half game ahead of the N.L. pack by beating the Dodgers, 8-5, in a contest that featured a fist fight between Milwaukee’s Johnny Logan and Brooklyn’s Don Drysdale, while the . Yankees defeated the White Sox, 4-3, after both clubs had engaged in a 28-minute free-for-all. Williams, who didn't have to resort to his fists, became the first American League player ever to hit three home runs in a single game twice in the same season when he led the Red Sox to a 93-3 victory over thf Indians. SawatsU, Bruton Homer In Thursday’s other A.L. games, Detroit edged Baltimore, 2-1, and rookie Jack Urban pitched Kansas City to a 6-2 victory over Washington in his first major league game. The Pirates registered their ninth victory in 13 starts by licking the Redlegs, >2; the Giants beat the Cubs, 7-4, and the Phils snapped the Cardinals’ eight-game winning streak, 8-1, in other N.L. contests. Reserve catcher Carl Sawatski drove in four runs for Milwaukee with two doubles and a homer in a victory that was credited to Bob Trowbridge. Bill Bruton hit two homers for the Braves and Gino Cimoli connected for Brooklyn. • Action Aplenty The fight between Logan and Drysdale erupted in the second inning after the Brooklyn pitcher hit the Milwaukee shortstop in the back with a pitch. First the two players exchanged words, then traded punches as players from both clubs rushed out onto the field. There was even more action in the Yankees-White Sox game after Larry Doby of the White Sox had to hit the dirt in the first inning to avoid being struck by one of Art Ditmar’s pitches. Doby and Ditmar swung at each other and a number of other fights soon broke out, involving Billy Martin, Bill Skowron and Enos Slaughter of the Yanks on one side and Walt Dropo and Doby of the White Sox on the other. The Tigers, who had lost seven straight games to Ray Moore dating back to 1955, scored both their runs off him in the sixth. Charley Maxwell hit his 12th homer and J. W. Porter doubled home the deciding run in the same frame. Urban Store Urban's debut with Kansas City was a dandy. Called up from Denver of the American Association last week end, the young right hander allowed only five hits and struck out four. Bob Cerv, Harry Simpson, Hec Lopez and Joe DeMaestri homered for the A’s. Gene Baker's ninth inning sacrifice fly scored Bill Mazeroski with Pittsburgh's winning run. Bob Friend limited the Redlegs to six hits in posting his fourth victory and giving the Pirates a sweep of the four • game series. Both of Cincinnati’s runs were the result of homers by Don Hoak. Home runs by Whitey Lockman, Ray Jablonski and Red Schoendienst powered the Giants to their triumph over the Cubs. The Phillies’ victory over the Cardinals vaulted them into second place, a half-game back of Milwaukee. White Sox, Tigers In Player Exchange CHICAGO (UF - First baseman Earl Torgeson left the roster of the Detroit Tigers today to join the Chicago White Sox for the Sox’ night game with the Senators at Chicago. Torgeson was acquired by the Sox Thursday in a straight player swap with the Tigers for Dava Philley, Sox outfielder and first baseman, who was due in Detroit about the same time. The 33-year-old Torgeson played in 28 games with the Tigers this year with a batting average of .224. Philley, who is 37, batted .309 in 22 games with the Sox. >

Major League Heads Expected To Crack Down - American League President Will Harridge today fined three New York Yankees and two members of the Chicago White Sox from SIOO to $l5O apiece for their parts in a wild, free-swinging brawl Thursday at the Sox-Yankees game. Haridge cauecr the battle which brought most of tne men ffom both benches Onto the field *‘a regrettable brawl." Larry Doby, White Sox outfielder, $150; Enos Slaughter, Yankees' outfielder, $150; Walt Dropo, White Sox first baseman, $100; Milly Martin, Yankees* infielder, $150; Art Ditmar, Yankee pitcher, SIOO. Fines of at least SIOO are expected to be levied on the five participants in Thursday's brawls in Chicago and Brooklyn, while sharp warnings will be issued to all 16 teams to stop the fisticuffs. Action may also be taken to try to stop the controversial "dust oft pitch"—the spark that touches off almost all baseball fights. The game, already beset with congressional attack and fran-chise-switching troubles, has been smattered with more poor publicity this year than in the last 20 years. The first incident was Ted Williams' blast at the Marine Corps, former President Harry Truman and the late Sen. Robert A. Taft during spring training. That has been followed by the now-famous Copacabana incident involving the world champion Yankees and the assorted free-for-alls. The situation reached a climax Thursday when the Yankees and White Sox engaged in a 28-minute free-for-all in Chicago and the Dodgers and Braves staged an impromptu fist fight at Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field. Only last Sunday the Yankees and Tigers had a near free-for-all in Detroit and two members of the Yankees and White Sox threatened each other Wednesday night after a game won by the White Sox, 7-6. In all cases, the "duster" touched off the swinging. The "duster” is a pitch thrown near enough to a hitter to drive him out of the batters’ box but is not designed to hit him. It is a device the pitchers use against almost all long-ball hitters and it is a matter of course for it to be thrown to any batter who follows a teammate who, has hrt a, home run. Pitcher Art Ditmar of the Yankees and outfielder Larry Doby of the White Sox squared off in Chicago Thursday after a "duster" while pitcher Don Drysdale of the
