Hie visitors added two more runs in the third, three in the fifth and one in the sixth. The Commodores scored their first run in the second on an error, walk and a double by Tom Gross.

A crowd-of 10,000 and a gate of $60,000 plus money from national television is expected for the 15round contest, first title bout 'in Texas history. ’ Both’ men spent some time on the light bag today, as well as shadow boxing and doing exercises. There was no sparring Brown has been made a slight favorite to retain his crown against the fancy-boxing Dupas. but the odds have been sowly dropping as the bell time draws nearer. Odds are expected to be even money, pick ’em, by the 8 p.m. fight time. Dupas’ camp was apparently assured today their boy has "made” the limit of 135 pounds, and that he would weigh in at exactly that figure. • The biggest worry of the New Orleans boy's followers now seems to be just how much the weightdropping problem has taken out of him. An old eye cut has also been troubling Dupas, but trainer Angelo Dundee said he thought the cut was fully healed and a “punch shouldn’t open it.” In Brown’s camp, the quietly determined champ, also from New Orleans, said, ,he. would be shooting for a knockout from the opening bell. "All I’m interested in -is his chin,” the champion said. “I’ll be disappointed if it goes 15 rounds and I have to win by a decison. I'm looking fora knockout.” Merchandise Trap Shoot, Is Planned The St. Mary’s and Blue Creek conservation club will sponsor a merchandise trap shoot Sunday afterrfoon at the club grounds, one and one-half miles west of Willshire, 0., on Indiana Highway 124.

Frick Asks Baseball Fields Standardized NEW YORK (UP)—The major leagues' two newest ball parks in California will live up to the ” anti-cheap-home- run” rule proposed by Commissioner Ford Frick, the Dodgers and Giants e promised today. a Frick, who insists he isn’t in- - spired by the criticism heaped on t the Dodgers’ 250-foot fence in the Los Angeles Coliseum, said Mon- „ day he is asking for a rule that . foul lines in newly built ball ’ parks must be at least 325 feet “ lorig and the center field fence must be at least 400 feet from home plate “There is merit in Mr. Frick's • proposal,” said Walter O’malley, 1 president of the Dodgers in Los t Angeles. “A good idea,’’ commented : Charles (Chub) Feeney, vice i president of the Giants in San Francisco. r The reaction of the two California team officials was vital, since these clubs undoubtedly will be j building the next new parks in j the majors—the Dodgers in Cha- , vez Ravine at Los Angeles, if the plan is approved in a referendum vote, and the Giants at Candle- , stick Point, where construction al- - ready is under way. 5 “The proposed Dodger stadium 1 in Chavez Ravine, which was 5 planned long before this an--3 nouncement, will exceed those ) minimums,” said O’Malley. 1 Feeney said, “Our new park a plans call for 325 feet at the foul 3 lines, 420 feet in deep center.” 3 Frickes proposed rule, would ap--3 ply only to new staditims. J 3 ' ... > Kelso, Buuck Named ‘ To All-Star Team J 2 FORT WAYNE <UP) — Prol moters of the first All-Star bas- ) ketball game between high school ) players of Indiana and Ohio indi- ) cated today tney would not try 1 to challenge a similar and older 2 Indiana-Kentucky battle for talent. 3 The first two players named to [ the roster for the Indiana-Ohio game Monday night, John Kelso , of Fort Wayne Central and Al Buuck of Fort Wayne Concordia, have not been named to the All1 Stars who will play against Ken- * tucky. Both Kelso and Buuck are centers. Kelso is a 6-3 jumping jack who helped his team give eventual state champion Fort Wayne South its biggest scare of the four-week show. Buuck is 6-9 and apparehtly was named to match Jerry Lucas, . another 6-9 center, who will play \ for Ohio. £ Kelso was on the Fort Wayne ’ All-City team for three years and s made the first team of Parade 3 Magazine's prep AH-America this , year. —Buuck was All-City two , years. Seven-foot Mike McCoy and ' guard Carl Stavreti, stars of champion South, have been named for the Kentucky games at ’lndianapolis and Louisville in the lat- ’ ter, part of June. , The Indiana sponsor of the two- . game series against Kentucky has a game rule that its Stars cannot 1 participate in any other game ; during the month of June. The battle with Ohio will be ; held here at the Coliseum June 9. 1

Pirates Down Giants To Tie ■ Cubs For Lead 1 By MILTON RICHMAN United Preu Sports Writer 1 Three different doctors told ■ Granny Hamner he’d never play ■ ball again but the disgusted, down- ) trodden Dodgers felt today that I the medics’ diagnosis went hay- ■ wire somehwere. Hamner says he’s still with the i Phillies only due to “an act of God.” It looked more like the hap--1 less Dodger pitchers could have used an act of Congress to get 1 him out Monday night The 31-year-old Phillies’ infieldI er, who was on the verge of quitting baseball a year ago because of a serious shoulder injury, drove in five runs in an 8-3 victory over Los Angeles. He teed off on Don Drysdale for a triple with the bases full in a i five - run first inning, then ■ slammed the 100th home run of ■ his career off reliever Jackie Collum with one on in the ffth Stan Lopata followed with a homer of • is own over the fence—the left field one, naturally. Hamner’s heavy stickwork sent young Don Drysdale down to his fifth straight defeat without a vic- ' tory, and while Dodger owner Walter O’Malley figures to make a bundle in California, it certainly hasn’t proven at all lucrative to the luckless, 21-year-old righthander so far. Five-Hitter Roman (Ray) Semproch of the Phils turned in a neat five-hitter in achieving his third win. Hie Dodgers scored all their runs off him in the fourth with Carl Furillo’s two-run homer high-lighting the rally. The Giants threw a scare into Pittsburgh by coming up with nine runs in the ninth inning but the Pirates staggered through for an 11-10 victory that moved them into a first-place tie with the Chicago Cubs. San Francisco s ninth-inning fireworks included a three-run homer i by Ray Jablonski, one with the i bases empty by Orlando Cepeda > and three pinch doubles by Jim . King, Johnny Antonelli and Bob Speak?.'It was the biggest rally by any club this year and it was staged before San Francisco’s smallest crowd of the season—s,so6. Law Knocked Out . Winner Vern Law was breezing along with a bulging 11-1 lead in : the ninth when the Giants knocked hip out with five hits and five ' nils. Curt Raydon took„over and , w|s tagged for a three-run homer r by Jablonski, after which Ron Blackburn came on to pitch for : Pittsburgh and was greeted by I , —

Cepeda's homer. Don Gross finally nailed down the last out by getting pinch hitter Don Taussig to pop up with the bases loaded. Frank Thomas hit his eighth homer for the Pirates and teammate R. C- Stevens also connected. Ruben Gomez was the loser. Bob (River Boat) Smith registered his first major league victory as the Red Sox defeated the Indians, 8-5. Smith, a rookie southpaw, needed help from big Frank Sullivan in the eighth when Cleveland scored its final two runs but until that frame, Dick Brown’s threerum homer in the fourth represented all of the Tribe’s scoring. Ray Narleski Started for Cleveland and was routed in a four-run sixth inning uprising. Dori Buddig homered for Boston while Pete Runnels and Ted Williams each drove in two runs. Rain washed out the Kansas City-Washington and Detroit-Bal-timore games in the American League as well as the MilwaukeeSt. Louis contest in the National. The Yankees and White Sox were idle in the American while the Cubs and Redlegs were not scheduled in the National. MAJOR National League W L Pct.
