Dodgers Hand Braves Fourth Straight Loss By FRED DOWN United Press International Those stories of the Los Angeles Dodgefs’ collapse were just a bit premature as far as the Milwaukee Braves are concerned. And, you’ll have to excuse the Cleveland Indians for laughing up their sleeves at reports of the New York Yankees’ invincibility. The Dodgers made it a “lost weekend” fdr the Braves Sunday when they swept their three-game series with a 12-4 rout that extended the world champions’ los- ’( ing streak to four games. The Braves never lost mere than three straight games en route to the NL pennant last season and their pitching staff has been thoroughly chewed up during the last week. The Indians, meanwhile, spoiled matters for New York’s largest baseball turnout of the year, 40,903, when they whipped the American League leaders, 14-1 and 5-4. The first-game loss was the most humiliating of the year for the mighty Yankees and the double defeat was the second in 10 days. A crowd of 57.122 at Los Ai> geles saw the Dodgers rack up four Milwaukee pitchers for 19 hits, including four each by Carl Furillo and Don Zimmer. Johnny Podres was tagged for 11 hits but went the distance for his fifth in a row at the Coliseum and his sixth win of the season. Indians Get 18 Hits The Indians buried the Yankees under an 18-hit attack in the opener and won the second game on Russ Nixon’s sixth-inning homer. Both defeats were charged to Johnny Kucks, who started the first game and relieved in the second. Moe Drabowsky pitched a onehitter to give the Chicago Cubs a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Don Hoak’s three runs batted in lifted the Cincinnati Redlegs to a 6-3 decision over the faltering but still first-place San I Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the St. Louis Cardinals,- 6-4, in 14 innings after losing, 6-5, in 10 in other NL games. In the other AL activity, the Boston Red Sox swept the Chicago White Sox, 6-5 in 10 nnings and 4-1, the Washington Senators shaded the Detroit Tigers, 4-3. and the Kansas City Athletics split a doubleheader with the Baltimore Orioles, winning. 2-1, after a 4-0 defeat. The Dodgers piled up a 7-0 lead in the first two innings and Podres coasted nine despite homers by Hank Aaron and Del Crandall.

The Dodgers now have won all five meetings with the world champions who did have one consolation, the three-game series drew 171,326. Los Angeles season attendance for 26 dptes now is a Whopping 810,151. * Rocky Colavito had a homer, triple and double and Bobby Avila, Roger Maris and Billy Harrell also had three hits each as Cleveland's Ray Narleski breezed to his seventh win in the opener. Colavito also homered and Minnie Minoso had three hits for the Tribe in the secoiid game. Klu Spoiled No-Hitter Drabowsky, 22, missed a nohitter when ponderous Ted Kluszewski beat out a slow grounder toward second base in the second inning. Bobby Adams, playingdeep for Klu, fielded the ball but could not make a good throw. Ernie Banks and Walt Moryn paced the Cubs with homers. Hoak’s third hit, a two-run single, capped a three-run ninth-in-ning rally that enabled Cincinnati's Brooks Lawrence to win his third game. Marv Grissom, 42year old relief ace, suffered his second defeat for San Francisco. Harry Anderson’s two-run homer gave the Phillies the win in a four-hour and 39-minute nightcap after a sacrifice fly by Del Ennis produced the Cardinals’ winning run in the 3:25 opener. The elapsed playing time of 8:24 set a new record for a major league doubleheader. There was once a horror seven minutes longer. The Red Sox were out-hit, 5-19, but won the opener On Tour homers —two by Jackie Jensen and one each by Don Buddin and Dick Gernert. Dave Sisler won the second game wth a six-hitter behind homers by Jimmy Piersail and Gene Stephens. The Red Sox' five-game winning streak is their longest of the year. Pedro Ramos, aided by Dick Hyde’s flawless ninth-inning relief pitching, won his fourth game as the Senators’ eight-hit attack offset Detroit homers by Gus Zernial, Frank Bolling and Billy Martin. Zernial’s pinch homer tied the major league record of nine by a player during a career. Virgil Trucks rescued Duke Maas to gain a split for the Athletics after Baltimore’s Skinny Brown and George Zuverink collaborated in a seven-hit shutout. Ned Garver suffered his second defeat in the opener.

Doubt Tim Tam To Run Another Race NEW YORK (UPI) — Caumet Farm’s Tim Tam, a victim of racing's most tragic injury and one of the sport’s greatest upsets, as run his last race, the veterinarian who X-rayed the v colt’s leg predicted today. * ‘ "It’s unlikely that any attempt will be made to race Tim Tam again,” Dr. William N. Wright told United Press International. "He’s such a good horse I personally think it would be foolish to jeopardize his potential value as a stud horse by risking further injury.” Tim Tam, the hero of thg) Kentucky Derby and Preakness, sustained a broken bone in his right foreleg Saturday while finishing second behind Irish-bred Cavan in the Belmont Stakes. Tim Tam is not suffering any I great pain but is “a little uncomfortable,’' Dr. Wright reported. He added cold compresses are being applied to the leg to reduce the swelling. An operation might be performed later to remove the bone chip. Trainer Jimmy Jones viewed three sets of x-rays Sunday before returning to Calukiet headquarters at 'Ky. He declined to predict whether Tm Tam ever will race again, stating only "We’ll just have to wait and see." However, he didn’t eound too hopeful. Klenk's Scheduled Game Is Rained Out Sunday’s rain washed out the scheduled Federation league game between Klenk’s of Decatur and Colonial Oilers at Fort Wayne. No date has been set to make up the postponement. Klenk’s next game will be Thursday night at 8 o’clock when the Decatur team will meet Edgerton at Worthman field here in a league game. Dunbar Team Wins Minor League Playoff Dunbar Furniture defeated Kimpel’s Cigar Store team Sunday in the playoff for the championship of the Minor league.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Middlecoff Is Pros' Choice To Take Open TULSA Okla. (UPD—Those who know the game the best, the playing pros, singled out! Cary Middlecoff as the favorite and Frank Stranahan and Mike Souchak as the leading dark-horses today for the U.S. pen golf championship. Their evaluation of the threeday, 72-hole medal play tournament which starts Thursday over the Southern Hills country club course fiffered from that of the golfers who competed in the Dallas Open, which Sam Snead won Sunday for the second year in a row. At Dallas the Open choice was Ben Hogan, shooting for an unprecedented fifth Open title, with Snead and Bill Maxwell as the second choices. And the way Hogan played nine holes in practice Sunday, winding up with a two under par 33 on the front nine dspite three-putting the ninth hole, would seem to bear them out. Some Disagree But the pros who have been testing the tough rough, the treacherous sandtraps and the narrow fairways of the 6,907-yard Southern Hills course didn’t agree. “It’s going to take a real strong golfer to win this one, especially with the searing heat which prevails here, and I don’t think Ben will be up to those two 18-hole rounds on Saturday,” Ed Furgol said. Furgol.won the Open in 1954. "Personally. I like Middlecoff.” Middlecoff, who won the Open twice, in 1949 and 1956, and who lost to defending champion Dick Mayer in a playoff last year, has planned for this one. He limited his tournament play so that he would be well rested, playing just enough to keep a competitive edge. Snead Has Many Rooters As for Snead, most of the pro golfers would like to see him win. For time is running out on Slammin’ Sam, who has won more tournaments and more money than any golfer in history, but who never has been able to capture the open. Snead is 46. Furgol, who has no hope that he can win it because his right elbow hasn’t gained full strength since an operation for the removal of bone chips and a ruptured blood vessel, picked Souchak as his dark horse, and a lot of the pros who have been playing here went along with him. Big Mike, they point out, is in the Open on a pass and Furgol goes along with “a guy in a lucky streak.”

Sammy Snead Wins Four-Way Playoff DALLAS, Tex. (UPD—Samuel Jackson Snead, who has waged a fruitless search since 1937 for the one big golf crown that has eluded him—the National Open—had a victory springboard today to carry him into the 1958 edition starting at Tulsa's Southern Hills Thursday. The 46-year-old West Vifgima hillbilly who came down into the flatlands in 1936 and had been a headliner ever since with his picture swing and winning golf, successfully defended his Dallas Open title Sunday, but had to curl in a 15-foot sidehill putt on the first extra hole of a four-way sudden death playoff to turn the trick. . , He finished with an eight-under-par 272 with ,a 35-34—69 final round to finish in a deadlock with Julius Boros of Mid Pines, N.C., Gary Player of South Africa and rookie John McMullin of Fair Oaks Calif., who blew the tournament on the final five holes when the pressure finally caught up with him. The $3,500 first money ran Snead’s official PGA winnings to an all-time record $329,000 and gave him his 100th tournament victory. . , ... ■ Snead still hasn’t got his putting game back in the groove that will be necessary to take the big one later this week. He missed enough short putts to have, won here hands down. His long ones were dropping easily enough, but the short ones rimmed the cup or broke off to one side. The Dolly Varden trout, a brightly colored, delicious variety that abounds in the mountain' streams of New Mexico, was named after a character” in Charles Dickens’ novel "Barnaby Rudge." Tn the novel, Dolly Varden was a beautiful girl who always dressed in brilliant colors.

Art Bisch Is Winner Os Rex Mays Race MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD— Rookie Art Bisch, who finished last in the Memorial Day Indianapolis Speedway classic, staged a thrilling duel with veteran Tony Bettenhausen Sunday to win the Rex Mays Memorial 100-Mile auto race at the Fairgrounds here. The race was marred by a serious accident which sent Billy Garrett, Burbank, Calif., to the hospital. Bisch, of Phoenix, Ariz., averaged 94.01 miles an hour in registering his first big victory on the United States Auto Club’s circuit. His time of 1:03.49 was well off the track record of 1:00.40 set by Pat Flaherty of Chicago two years ago. A crowd of 17,097 paid towards a purse of $16,300, of which Bisch got about $4,000. Much of the race was run under the yellow caution light because 6f three accidents, the worst of which was Garrett’s. He spun on t|ie north turn of the 54th mile as he attempted to move into third place. His car hit the outside retaining wall and Garrett was unconscious when removed from the racer and taken to Milwaukee General Hospital. The other two accidents were minor and there were no injuries. The race ended with the yellow flag in effect. Bisch led through the 80th mile, gave up the lead to Bettenhausen, of Tinley. Park, 111., .for 13 laps, and then took the lead for keeps on the backstretch on the 93rd lap. Only four seconds separated the first five cars at the finish. Jimmy Reece of Indianapolis was third-in the 20-car field. Then in order came Johnny Thomson, Boyertown, Pa.; Johnny Boyd. Fresno, Calif.; . George Amick, Venice, Calif.; Jim Rathmann, Miami,. Fla.; Johnny Tolan, Denver; Jud Larson, Tampa, Fla., and Eddie Sachs, Center Valley, Pa. Amick picked up 80 points for a tojal of 960 toward the USAC driving title, only 40 behind Indianapolis Speedway winner Jimmy Bryan, who indicated earlier he will not defend his crown. Bettenhausen has a total of 920. Major League Leaders National League Player & Club G. AB R. H. Pct. Musial, St. L. 45 165 26 69 .418 Mays, S. Fran 51 209 48 87 .416 Green.
