Tim Tam Winner Os Preakness Saturday BALTIMORE (UP)—Tim Tam. winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, stood at the threshold to turfdom's hall of fame today, and the only question seemed to be who will ride him to a Triple Crown victory in the Belmont Stakes. Ismael Valenzuela took over the riding chores on Tim Tam after Bill Hartack broke a leg a week before the Kentucky Derby. Valenzuela proved a talented substitute, for he rode Tim Tam bril-i liantly in the Derby TriaE the Kentucky Derby and last Saturday'.s Preakness Stakes when Tim Tam proved his superiority over the present crop of three-yar-olds without the shadow of a doubt. But now Hartack is ready to ride again and trainer Jimmy Jones must decide whether to reengage the jockey champion or not. Neither boy is under contract to Calumet Farm. However?'Hartack- has been as loyal to Jones as if he was tied up with a formal . agreement and 'such-loyalty should world both ways. But it hardly would be fair to replace Valenzuela after the masterful job he has done ’ That has placed Jimmy Jones squarely on a hot spot. For Tim Tam’s chances of becoming the ninth Triple Crown winner in history seems to depend solely upon showing up at Belmont Park for the Belmont Stakes June 7. : White Sox Practice Tuesday Evening Bill Kuhnle, manager of the White Sox of the Decatur Little League, asks all members of the team —to- report for practice at 6 o’clock Tuesday evening at Stratton Place diamond.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Giants Defeat Cubs Twice To Take Over Lead By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The New York Yankees are making a joke of the American League race but the season's best laugh is the one the amazing San Francisco Giants are having at the expense of National League experts. The Yankees, who look like they’re going to make Casey Stengel’s ninth pennant in 10 years his easiest, ballooned their AL lead to 6*4 games Sunday with 5-2 and 3-0 victories over the Washington Senators. The Yankees, with six straight and 10 of 11, are 14 games over .500 at 195comptared to second-place Kansas City’s 13-12 reCord. The Giants, meanwhile, took a two percentage - point first-place lead in the National League when they whipped the Chicago Cubs, 7-3 and 4-0. and the Cincinnati Redlegs beat the Milwaukee Braves, 11-7. The Giants, picked to fnish sixth by the experts, lead the Braves, .656 to .654. They have won three straight and 11 of their last 14 games. Sweeps Due To Pitching Brilliant pitching was the key to both sweeps Sal Maglie needed only Ryne Duren's ninth-inning help to win the opener for the Yankees and then Bdb Turley “bombed” the Senators with a five-htter that gave him his sixth win and fourth shutout. For the Giants, Johnny Antonelli hurled a five-hitter in the first game and flutterball specialist Stu Miller came back with a three-hitter to give he Can Francisco staff its fourth shutout of the year. The Athletics moved into second place in the AL by defeating the Detroit Tigers, 2-0, the Boston Red Sox downed the Baltimore Orioles 8-4, and the Cleveland Indians swept the Chicago White Sox, 7-4, and 10-6. in the other American League games. In the National, the Philadelphia Phillies continued the deflai tion of the Pittsburgh Pirates j with a 6-4 and 6-2 victories while i the Los Angeles Dodgers rebounded from a 6-5 loss to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-0. v Homer By Maglie Maglie, making his first start, i limited the Senators to seven hits in eight innings and also highlighted the Yankee attack wito_ a three-run' homer to climax New York’s five - run fourth inning burst. Mickey Mantle's two-run double was the big blow for the Yankees ift the nightcap as Tur- ' ley reduced his earned run average to 0.83. Bullet Bob has yielded only six runs and 25 hits in his six straight nine-inning performances. Danny O'ConnellandWillieKirkland each had three hits and drove in three runs to lead the , Giants 11-hit attack in the opener i and O'Connell also' had three hits 'in the nightcap. Antonelli struck lout eight for his third win and [Miller fanned five in his first . I start ’! Duke Maas faced only 28 Tigers ' in a two-hitter to give the Athletics their fourth straight win ’ and Detroit its fifth consecutive 1 loss. All three Athletic hits were r doubles, two by Vic Power and Frank House combining with a walk and an error to produce two runs in the second inning. Dick Gernert hit two homers and a double to knock in 'four runs and Jackie Jensen drove in & three with a homer and three e singles in powering the Red Sox e to their fourth victory in five ® games. Frank Sullivan gained his ’ first win while Billy Loes, caui- tioned twice-against th rowing S" “spitters," suffered his fourth straight loss for Baltimore. Early Lead Overcome The Indians overcame early White Sox leads in both games, winning the 11 - innng opener on pneh-hitter Carroll Hardy’s three run homer and the nightcap with two runs in the sixth 1 and three in toe seventh. Relief aces Ray Narfeski and Don Mossi picked up their fifth and fourth wins, □ respectively, and have accounted ’ for nine of Cleveland’s 15 vic- " tories. 2 George Crowe and Dee Fondy 2 blasted three-run homers for the 2 Redlegs, who Braves for 2 the second time in seven tris. 2 Bob Purkey, who scored the other victory on April 23, went the distance despite two homers by Joe Adcock and one each by Ed Mathews and Johnny Logan. Lew Burdette was kayoed in 3 1-3 innings and saw his record squared at 3-3.

Va. — (IP) — Give a fellow like Sammy Snead an inch and he’ll take a mile. That’s what Gary Player, the personable young South African, did Sunday and it cost him top place in the Snead Golf Festival. The first inch Player gave Snead was on the final hole of the 72-hole tournament. It was by that much the 22-year-old professional missed a putt that would have given him first place in the four-day tourney on Snead’s home grounds. When Player finished his fourth sub-par round with a four-under-par 66 it tied him and Snead for first with identical scores of 264, 16 under par. Snead had finished with a 67. The second big inch given Snead by Player was on the fifth hole ;of a pressurized sudden death playoff. Player missed another five-foot putt by an inch. Snead was there this time to take advantage of it and knocked in one of three feet for a birdie on the par-four hole-and the championBantam Ben Hogan was third with 265. After sharing the lead for three rounds, he carded a 68 Sunday. MAJOR National League W L. Pct.
