Braves Staying On Top Despite Many Injuries By MILTON RICHMAN United Pres* Sports Writer Milwaukee’s injury-riudled lineup has more patches in it than an old inner tube and the only reason the Braves were still atop the National League today was a 32-year-old “retread” named Nippy Jones. Jones, the ex - Cardinal brought up from the minors last week as first base insurance for injured Joe Adcock, paid a whopping dividend Friday night when he clouted a three-run homer in the 11th inning, for a 6-3 victory over the Giants. It was only Jones' second hit in 12 trips since the Braves obtained him from Sacramento of the Pacific Coast League but it served to protect Milwaukee’s half-game lead over the challenging Cardinals, who defeated the Pirates, 4-3, in 10 innings. Skinny Gene Conley, who pitched hitless ball after relieving starter Lew Burdette in the ninth inning, was the winner for Milwaukee in a game marked by five homers. In addition to ’ Jones’ homer, Ed Mathews also connected for the Braves while Hank Sauer, Ruben Gomez and Ed Bressoud hit circuit blows for the Giants. Red Schoendienst of Milwaukee extended his batting streak to 23 consecutive games. In other National League games, Cincinnati defeated Brooklyn, 6-5. in 11 innings and the Phillies beat the Cubs, 3-1, in 10 innings. Chisox Move Up Jim Bunning of Detroit limited the Yankees to two hits in beating them, 3-2, and cutting their American League lead to three games over the second - place White Sox, who split a twi-nignt double-header with the Orioles. Baltimore won the opener, 5-2, and Chicago the nightcap, 1-0. The Red Sox mauled Cleveland. 10-1, as Willard Nixon held the Indians to eight hits, while Washington climbed to within a game and one-half of seventh place with a 3-2 triumph over Kansas City. Alvin Dark’s looping single with the bases loaded in the 10th inning kept the Cards right oa the Braves’ heels and handed Pirate reliever Ronnie Kline his 15th setback of the season Pittsburgh took a 3-0 lead off Lindy McDaniel but St. Louis tied the score with three runs in the fifth on Ken Boyer’s homer, Ed Kasko’s double and Don Blasingame’s homer. Willard Schmidt, who relieved McDaniel in the sixth, registered his ninth victory. Reliever Hersh Freeman doubled off Roger Craig in the 11th and rode home on Johnny Temple’s single for the run that beat Brooklyn. The Redlegs rallied for five runs in the fifth inning with the aid of homers by Ed Bailey and Gus Bell but the Dodgers tied the game with two runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth. Elmer Vaio homered for Brooklyn. The Phillies rallied for two runs in the 10th inning as Warren Hacker beat his former Cub teammates for his sixth victory. Philadelphia registered the deciding runs on Ed Bouchee’s double, an error by reliever Turk Lown, and a single by Harry Anderson. Bob Rush dropped his 11th game. Mantie Hit* No. 27 Bunning had a no-hitter going until Yogi Berra led off the seventh with a triple and then scored on a sacrifice fly. The only other hit off the Tiger right hander was Mickey Mantle’s 27th homer in the ninth inning- Bob Turley, the loser, gave up only four hits, the Tigers scoring what proved to be the winning run in the fifth on Bill Tuttle’s triple and Al Kaline’s infield single. In the Orioles-White Sox opener, Ray Moore curbed Chicago on four hits while Baltimore hopped on Jack Harshman for five runs in

Alex Miteff Is Winner Over Julio Mederos WASHINGTON (UP) —Julio Mederos, an ex-stevdore from Havana, Cuba who is an expert at taking punishment from both, declared today that Argentina’s unbeaten Alex Miteff “ is just about as good ” as heavyweight challenger Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson. » The 22-year-old Miteff * made a believer” of Mederos Friday night when he scored a seventh-round technical knockout over the Cuban at the Capital Arena. Mederos went 10 rounds with Jackson last year but never had a chance with Miteff and lost all six rounds. I£ you have aotnethlng to sen or rooms far rent, try a Demoorat Wint Ad — they bring result*.
Jackson Plans Defense Fight Monday Night NEW YORK (UP)—Everything about Monday’s big fight was progressing with pleasant confusion today until word came from the mountains that Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson planned to "go on the defensive" against champion Floyd Patterson. "“"Say it ain’t so. Tommy! Say it ain’t so!" exclaimed some of the out-of-town sports writers who were being "screened” for thenpews in the 600-capacity working press section at the Polo Grounds. “I don't believe it,” declared promoter Emil Lence, who had just announced happily that the booming sale of tickets assured him of "at least breaking even’’ with a gate of more than $200,000 for his first heavyweight title fight. : 'r . ’ • . . “It must be a gag—a very poor gag,” moaned publicity director Ned Brown, who had been trying to solve the mystery of whether the A.P. working press tickets had been sent to the U.P., the 1.N.5., or Russia’s Tass agency. - But that hardy little band of reporters who had braved the 85mile ride into, the Pocono Mountains of New Jersey to watch Jackson in his next-to-last sparring session Friday, figured it was no gag. They had seen the Hurricane — strangest heavy- . weight challenger since barrelbodied Tony Galento — actually practicing the defensive moves of a counter-fighter. Yes sir, the Hurricane was backing up—the Hurricane, whose wild, windmill attack had always been his greatest defense — the Hurricane, whose persistent flailing had made him the world's No. 1 contender. The challenger planned a final, light defensive workout today. Champion Patterson finished his sparring at Greenwood Lake, N.Y. Friday. Both expect to break camp and motor into New York Sunday.

Tommy Bolt Leads In Eastern Open ! r 1 BALTIMORE (UP) — The na- ( tion’s touring golf pros had to ] pick up time and, Tommy Bolt to- f day as third-round play in the Eastern Oped golf tournament got 1 under way. W 1 With thundering Tommy still 1 setting the scoring pace, tourna- ] ment supervisor Harvey Raynor < let it be known that he wasn’t happy about the playing pace of some contestants. : This was obvious when he ] tagged a two- stroke penalty on ] Mike Fetchick for undue delay Friday. Mike was playing in the : same threesome with Bolt. 1 Raynor said: “I hate to stick ' penalty shots on anyone. But we ; just can’t go on warning these players forever. a "In Mike's case he had been warned a number of times to step up his pace- Then when he took a practice putt oh the thirteenth green, I just had to call him on it.” The penalty may prove particularly costly to Fetchick, since he is in contention for the United States Ryder Cup team. Point scpring for the Ryder team closes here Sunday. And Fetchick, along with several others, including Bolt, are chasing on the border line for berths. Bolt, seeking his first circuit tourney win in two years, was out in front with rounds of 64 and 72 for a 136 score. Two strokes behind the leader are Doug Ford, Mahopac, N.Y., and Fred Hawkins, El Paso, Tex. Don Fairfield, Casey, 111., was alone in third place with a 139 total.
