Hoad Repeats As Wimbledon Net Champion WIMBLEDON, England (UP) - Lew Hoad, Australia’s blond bomber, became the first man in 19 years to sweep two straight Wimbledon tennis championships today when he routed Australian champion Ashley Cooper, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. Hoad, 3 tp< *. ~*'l the final, attacked furiously right from the start and set the tempo for the match by cracking Cooper's service in the first game of the-match to the cheers of a gallery of 15,000, including the Duke of Edinburgh. Hoad was the first since Don Budge in 1937-38 to bag two in a row in the historic center court The lop-sided triumph carried an additional bonus for the 24-ycar-old Aussie who thus retained his standing as the world's top amateur and kept his “asking" price at 6100,000 to turn professional in the fall. In women’s singles, Althea Gibson of New York and Darlene Hard of Montebello, Calif., won their semifinal matches Thursday to assure the Uhited States its 13th consecutive Wimbledon champion in this division. Miss Gibson, striving to become the tournament's first Negro singles titleholder, walloped 6 - foot Christine Truman of Britain, 6-1, 6-1, while Miss Hard continued her surprising play by downing Dorothy Head Knode of Forest Hills, N.Y.. 6-2, 6-3. The two Yank lassies will meet in the final Saturday. Meanwhile, Miss Gibson, and Neale Fraser of • KustrtHrWe scheduled to. cohiplete their mixed doubles match today against Naresh Kumar of India and Edda Buding of Germany. The American - Aussie duo won the first set, 10-8, and the score was knotted at 7-7 in the second set Thursday when play was halted by darkness. If Miss Gibson and Fraser win their quarter - final match they then will return to the court later in the day to meet Roy Emerson and Margaret Hellyer of Australia in the semifinals.

Musial Passes New Baseball Milestone CHICAGO (UP) — Stan Musial has passed another milestone on the road to baseball's Hall of Fame —he now stands fourth in the all-time list of extra-base hits. Only Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig have more extra-base blows to their credit than the Cardinals' "Stan the Man.” Musial passed Tris Speaker on the list Thursday when he hit a home run in the first game of a twin bill against the Cubs, the 1,133 rd extra base hit of his career. m a -owt — Decatui

RedlegsStay On Top Despite Loss To Braves By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The Cincinnati Redlegs vs the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series. That’s the prediction today from baseball's most famous “crystal ball" — the old axiom that the teams leading the major leagues on the Fourth of July win win the pennants. And the whammy has been getting stronger in recent years, Cincinnati clung to the top rung in the NL on the holiday despite a 10-7 slugfest loss to Milwaukee. The Cards fumbled a chance to take first place at the milestone by losing the first game of a twin bill to Chicago, 7-6, before winning, 4-3. Brooklyn also split, losing to Pittsburgh 5-1 before winning 8-2, but Philadelphia swept the Giants, 2-1 and 6-2. The Yankees protected their AL margin by winning, 4-1, after taring. 3-2. The White Sox blew a 5-4 decision to Kansas City before winning, 8-3. Cleveland downed Detroit, 3-1, but then lost, 4-3. In a single game, Baltimore beat Washington, 3-2, in *ll inningsAaron Hits No. 26 JjgS The Braves had 14 hits and the Redlegs 17 in a single game. Hank Aaron slammed his 26th homer, the majors* tops, plus two doubles and Ed Mathews hit his 17th, while George Crowe had five straight hits for the Reds, Including two homers, to drive in six runs. Don Larsen's five-hitter, marred only by Mickey Vernon’s homer, gave the Yankees their second;ame win — the second straight lomplete-game win for the “perfect game” hero who got off to a sour start this year. Vernon hit another homer in the first game—a pinch-hit, two-out, two-run job n the ninth inning off Bob Grim to snatch victory from defeat. The A’s beat the White Sox in the pre-lunch half of their morn-ng-afternoon twin bill by rallying for five runs in the last of toe linth. The Sox made sure of the second with 15 hits as Bob Kee?an scattered 11 A’s’ hits to win. Wynn Tosses Three Hitter Early Wynn tossed a three hiter for the Indians in their open:r to tie for top winning honors in he majors with his 11th victory as locky Colavito smashed a toreeun. homer. But Charley Maxwell second game. ' Baltimore rallied for a rim in the last of the ninth to tie Washington. 2-2, and then won in toe Uth when Jim Brideweser singled home a run with two out off -eliever Truman Clevenger. The Cubs rallied for two runs in the last of toe ninth to beat the Cards in their opener, a game finished by the Cards under protest over a "safe" call at first base on a Chicago runner who later scored. Sam Jones’ six-hitter gave toe Cards the nightcap despite two homers by Dale LongBob Friend’s seven - hitter gave the Pirates their opener against Brooklyn, but Don Newcombe scattered nine hits to take the nightcap as Duke Snider bagged three hits, including homer No. 16. Harvey Haddix beat the Giants for the Phils in their opener on an eight-hitter as Rip Repulski’s homer supplied his winning run, and lefty Curt Simmons took the nightcap although he needed ninthinning relief after two-hit shutout ball for eight frames. Martinez Favored To Defeat Moore WASHINGTON (UP) — Isidro Martinez, switch - hitting featherweight contender from Panama, is favored at 8-5 to beat little Davey Moore of Springfield, Ohio, again tonight in their return 10rounder at the New Capitol Arena.

I'sjor League Draw Beller On Holiday By UNITED PRESS Thanks to a morning-afternoon "doubleheader" in Kansas City, attendance at major league baseball games on the Fourth of July topped the crowds sit holiday games a year ago by exactly 836 fans. The two- games -for - the-price-of-two program at the home of the Athletics lured 15,241 prelunch fans and then attracted another 11.996 for the afternoon game. Without either of these gates, the,. 1957 holiday attendance, would have shown a big drop from' last year. Buoyed by this item, the American League attendance was up from 94,007 last year to 110,785. National League attendance, however, dropped off from 116,463 to 110,521. A factor in the N.L. decline was that this year the Dodgers and Giants were playing different foes while last year the arch-, rivals clashed in the Polo Grounds largest stadium in the league, and drew 44,859. The Giants were also a party to this year’s top NL. cr0wd—30,442 in Philadelphia. ----- The Red Sox-Yankees game at Yankee Stadium was the top major-league draw, however, luring 52,791. : —— % Federation League Game Washed Out Thursday morning’s rain washed out the holiday Federation league game between Klenk’s of Decatur and Tony and Jim’s Cantina, scheduled for Worthman field in this city. Klenk’s will meet the tough AFL-CIO team at the State School diamond in Fort Wayne Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and will be host to the Blue Sox next Thursday night at 8 o’clock at Worthman field.

Two Americans In British Open Play BULLETIN BT. ANDREWS. Scotland (I*Bobby Locke, 39, South African pro, won the British Open golf championship a fourth time today when he shot rounds of 68 and TO that gave him a 72-hole total of 279 strokes. ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (UP) — Cary Mlddlecoff and Frank Stranahan, improving with the Scottish weather, were in contention for the first time today for the final two rounds of the British Open golf championship. Middlecoff, hampered by hay fever and the betraying winds that have swept the ancient and royal St. Andrews course during most of the tourney, played his best game Thursday as a warm sun broke through along with a codling breeze. The golfing dentist from Memphis, Tenn., fired a one-under-par 71 as did Stranahan to easily qualify for the final two rounds. Mlddlecoff and Stranahan, the only two Americans remaining in the field, which was pared down to the low 50 scorers for today’s third and fourth rounds, trailed Scottish professional champion Eric Brown by four and six strokes, respectively. But both were hopeful an improved putting game would put them in the thick of contention for the coveted title. Brown collected a 72 Thursday to go with hi» opening round 67 for a 139 total, while Lawrie Ayton, also of Scotland, soared to a 76 to drop out of a ti with Brown with a 143 aggregate- Flory van Donck of Belgium moved into second place with a 140 total. Bruce Crampton of Australia and Bobby Locke of South Africa were next at 141, followed by defending champion Peter Thomson of Australia, John Fallon of England and Tony Cerda of Argentina, tied at 142. Tied at 143 with Middlecoff and Ayton were Jimmy Hitchcock and Keith MacDonald of England, John Patton of Scotland and Dick Smith, a Scot amateur. Stranahan, of Toledo, Ohio, was tied with six others at 144. It took a two-round total of 146 to qualify for the final two rounds. Among the casualties were Henry Cotton, thrce-time winner of the Open, who wound up with a 150, and Americans Gene Andrews of Pacific Palisades, Calif., and Air Force Lt. Keck of Champlain, 111. Andrews had a 154 total while Keck soared to 165. • Veteran Judge FALL RIVER, Mass. <UP) — Judge Benjamin Cook, 87, is still presiding justice of the district court here after 55 years’ service.
