Pod res Hurls Third Win Os Season Sunday By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Johnny Podres, off to the fastest start of his career, may final ly be headed for the 20-victory campaign that's always eluded him. Brooklyn's 1955 World Series hero turned in his third straight victory of he season Sunday when he pitched the Dodgers to a 10-3 win over the stumbling St. Louis Cardinals. He’s yielded only six runs and struck out 19 batters while compiling a 1.87 earned run average. Podres always has been regarded as one of the game’s top pitchers when he’s in shape but recurring back and arm- ailments have prevented him from having a really big year. Even last season when hisl 266 E.R.A. was the best in the Nationa League he had only a 12-9 won-lost record. Johnny, 25, scattered 10 hits on Sunday and struck out five batters. He's scored three of Los Angeles five victories and is the only Dodger pitched to go the distance. Games Rained Out Podres’ performance was the highlight of a rainy day. Six of 11 scheduled games were postponed. The Chicago Cubs pulled the season's first triple play enroute to a 5- win over the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Milwaukee Braves, 6- in other National League games while the Detroit Tigers whipped the Cleveland Indians, 95 and the Boston Red Sox topped the Washington Senators, 7-5, in AL games. Rookie third baseman Dick Gray hit a two-run homer and knocked in a third run with a single to pace a 10-hit Dodger attack on Sam Jones and three successors. Gil Hodges, Gino Cimoli and Don Zimmer also had two hits each as the Dodgers built a 6-1 lead in three innings. Ken Boyer homered for the Cardinals and Stan Musial went 2-for-3 to raise his major league leading average to .533. Dale Long drove in three runs with a homer and" a double to help the Cubs snap the first place Giants' four-game winning streak. Hank Sauer, who later hit his sixth homer, hit into the triple play, in the first inning when Dick Drott speared his liner and caught Willie Kirkland and Willie Mays off second and third bases respectively. Jack Sanford, NL rookie of the year in 1957. pitched a five-hitter for his second win and Richie Ashburn hit his first homer in ,two years as the Phillies snapped a three-game losing streak- Ashburn’s homer capped a three-run third inning rally that helped hand Lew Burdette his second straight defeat. Harry Hanebrink homered for the Braves. Harris Leads Attack Gail Harris, subbing at first base for Ray Boone, had two singles and a double txZlead a 14-hit Detroit attack on Mike Garcia and five successors. Billy Hoeft won his second straight for the Tigers, who snapped their own threegame losing streak as well as the Indians’ ,four - game winning streak. Frank Malzone homered and singled as the Red Sox built a 7- lead and then survived a fiverun Washington rally in the seventh. Murray Wall turned in 2 1-3 innings of scoreless relief ball to preserve Dave Sisler’s second victory. Ted Williams went hitless lin three tries and his average j dipped to .207. Today is an off-day for travel I before the first intersectional , meetings of the season start on I Tuesday. East invades West in the ' Natonal League while West journeys East in the American.

Stan Leonard Wins Tourney At Las Vegas LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UP)-A bit of strategy that back-fired lost the SIO,OOO jackpot for Billy Casper in the Tournamept of Champions Sunday — but today Billy isn’t a bit unhappy about it, and the new king, Stan Leonard, is the happiest guy in the world. “It was my greatest victory,” said the diminutive Canadian, who has won the Canadian PGA < match-play championship a half dozen times. “But I’m sorry Bill had to lose the way he did.” Casper and Leonard were engaged in a neck-and-neck due down the home stretch in the $40,000 event, all even going into the 17th. Casper is known as a cool character under pressureThere is part of a lake along the fairway of the 17th. After much deliberation, Billy the Kid chose to play it safe. “I decided to use my two iron, because I always hit that much straighter and I didn't want to take a chance going into the water,” said Billy in retrospect. “But the ball ‘hung’ in the air and didn’t clear the water." Casper then had to play out of the rough and he hooked into the water again. That cooked his goose. His double-bogey put him two strokes behind. Leonard from Vancouver, 8.C., then went on to win with a record-smashing 72hole score of 275 t- three strokes better than the mark set by Art Wall in this event four years ago. Casper wasn't dejected by the loss. “If I can't win, the next best thing is to finish second," said the young fatalst. “It just wasn £ meant for me._to_win this oner up $5,000 for second place. Frank Stranahan finished third with 280. good for $2,500. Tommy Bolt and the three-time defending champion, Gene Littler, ended with 281, each collecting $1,390. Tied at 282, good for $1,310, were E.

Speedway Open For Practice Thursday INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — World champion race driver Juan Man ual Fangio of Argentina may be' one of the first to make a run on the Indianapolis Speedway when practice for the Memorial Day classic begins Thursday. Hie Speedway announced that at least 23 of the 56 cars entered in the race will be in the garage area when the 2*£ mile track is opened for practice. Eleven were here over the weekend and offi cials said 12 others were reported en routeFangio flew into New York Sunday and said he was "enthusl astic” about racing in the 500 mile race. “It is the aspiration of any auto racer to drive at Indianapolis,” said Fangio through an inter preter. “This is something new to me and I don’t have the slightest idea how I will do but I am very enthusiastic about it." To Check Car Fangio was scheduled to go to Dayton, Ohio, today to look over a car he has been invited to drive in the long grind. He said he would drive it either in Dayton or Indianapolis, or both, before making up his mind. Fangio said he wants to “get the feel” of the powerful American racing cars before making his final decision to drive. This indicated he would at least take a few practice laps at the Speedway. He said he would have to “adapt myself" to the different car and flat track. Fangio emphasized the differences between Indianapolis type racing and the road races in which he has made his fame. “The formula of the motor, the distribution’ of the weight of the car, the size of the car and the five-speed arrangement as compared to the two-speed at Indianapolis are the main differences,” said Fangio. Veterans And Rookies Many of the drivers who will be at the Speedway Thursday know the pecularities of the track and others like Fangio will be trying for the first time. ■* Pat Flaherty of Chicago, 1956 wiimdt who was injured seriously jp- crash a few days after his big win, will be testing his physical ability! to race again Jim Rathmarin of Miami who finished second in last year’s "500” and Eddie Sachs of Center Valley, Pa., who started in the front row were slated to be on hand. Highly-touted rookie A.J. Foyt, 23, Houston, has signed to drive the car which national champion Jmmy Bryan of Phoenix, Ariz., handled last year. Foyt finished 7th in the 1957 United States Auto Club midget standings. M/W American Association W. L. Pct G.B.
