Tonight's TV Bout On Hotel Terrace WASHINGTON (UPD—Middleweight contender Joey Giardello and Franz Szuzina of Germany swap punches tonight at one of the most unlikely places in the world—the outdoor terrace of the swanky Shoreham eHotel. Giardello, seeking hjs third straight victory over Szuzina, will be a 3-1 favorite when they enter the ring before 1,000 invited guests and a national television audience. The schedule calls for 1 cocktails at six, dinner at eight and bloody noses and black eyes ; later. ■] , Each fighter has been guaran- , teed $6,000 with all other receipts from ■dinner tickets <at $25 , apiece) and television going to “The Big Brothers”—an organiza tion. that helps wayward and orphaned boys. The invited guests have been asked to wear black ties. Each fighter is 27 years old and weighs in at almost exactly 160 pounds but the similarity ends there. Giardello is the world’s third-ranked contender for the middleweight title by the National Boxing Association and is second- ■ ranked by Ring Magazine. Szuzina is unranked by either organization. Giardello outpointed Szuzina in their two previous bouts —at Milwaukee, July 26, 1956 and at Phil- | adelphia last Feb. 12. Szuzina (fought one other bout this year, | knocking out Johnny Penn in two rounds last March. M/Wf I I American Association W. L.

Friend Hurls Ninth Win Os Year Tuesday By FRED DOWN United Press International Danny Murtaugh is the envy of rival National League managers today because he’s got the “stopper” who could spell pennant tor two or three teams. He's Bob Friend, the rugged right-hander who seems to keep winning no matter how strong or weak the Pittsburgh Pirates. Friend became the league's first nine-game winner of the season Tuesday night when he beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-4, with an eight-hitter. Stopper? Yes siree, chorus Murtaugh's rivals. Since May 24, when the Pirates show a 5-11 record, he stands 3-1 and has turned in the team’s only three complete games. Back on April 20 he stopped a three-game Pittsburgh losing streak, on April 24 he stopped a two-game stumble and on May 18 he halted a "five-game losing string. * Rookie R. C. Stevens and Bob Skinner hit two-run homers and Frank Thomas added a solo round-tripper to account for all the Pirates’ runs. Friend yielded a two-run homer to Orlando Cepeda in the fourth inning but closed strong and wound up with eight strikeouts. Ramon Monzant tagged for four runs in three innings. lost his fifth game. Giants Had First Place It was the Giants’ third straight defeat and their 10th in 14 games but they remained a half-game hold on first platfe because the Milwaukee Braves still are rushing headlong in the wrong direction. The Braves suffered their l fifth straight defeat, longest since ; 1956, when they bowed to the Chip cago Cubs, 9-6. Tuesday. The ( Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los ; Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, in the i other game. In the American League, the Cleveland Indians moved into fourth place via a 10-2 romp over i the Baltimore Orioles and the r Chicago White Sox and Washing- , ton Senators split a doubleheader. The White Sox won the first game, 5-4, but the Senators rebounded, 5-2. The Cubs hammered out five homers, including two by Bobby . Thomson; to hand eight-game winner Warren Spahn his second defeat. Ernie Banks hit his 18th ' and Cal Neeman and Dale Long also homered as the Cubs raised their season record to the .5003 mark. Glen Hobbie, who took over for Dick Drott in the third ; inning, limited the Braves to six hits to win his fourth decsion. Dodgers Streak Broken Rooke Ray Semproch pitched a , nine-hitter to win his sixth game s for the Phillies and snap the Dodgers’ three-game winning streak. The Phillies snapped a 1-1 - tie in the fifth inning when they s scored two runs on an error by - Pee Wee Reese, a fielder's choice, , Richie Ashburn’s triple and a single by Solly Hemus. Don New- - combe suffered his fifth straight 5 loss for the Dodgers. Hoyt Wilhelm, who has relieved 1 in six of the Indians' last nine . games, preserved rookie Gary Bell's first major league triumph by shutting out the Orioles in the last three innings. Dick Brown’s two-run double featured a fiverun Cleveland eighth inning that 1 clinched the win. Roger Maris •’ had three hits for the Indians and r Minnie Minoso had two, including «' a homer. r Billy Pierce relieved in the ninth" inning tri protect the White i Sox’ opening-game victory over . Washington, but the Senators ral- . lied for four runs in the sixth inning to divide the double bill. Hal Griggs, aided by Dick Hyde, , won the second game for the Sen- , ators. Julio Becquer's two-run sin--1 gle was the big blow of the Wash- ’ ington victory. Bull Fatally Gores Inmate At Prison MICHIGAN CITY,, Ind. (UPD — Ira Creech, 47, Indianapolis, was gored fatally by a bull on Indiana State Prison's Summit farm southeast of here late Tuesday. Creech, who was sentenced from Johnson County in 1944 to a 1 to 10 year term for auto theft, was attempting to take the buF from a pen when the accident happened.

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International TULSA, Okla. (UPD— Baseball’s minor leagues face swift extinction, Grayle Howlett of the Tulsa Oilers predicted today, unless the major leagues “do something—and do it quickly.” Howlett is well qualified to sound the clarion call to action. His club — in a state which produced such major league stars as Carl Hubbell, the Waners, Pepper Martin, Allie Reynolds. Dale Mitchell and Mickey Mantle—is the last of the 15 organized baseball franchises which Oklahoma once boasted. His plea is that the major league clubs pay the freight for players which they send down on the farm and share “invasion'’ TV and radio income. Gives His Reasons “Major league baseball must carry the load on their players,” Howlett explained. “Here in the Texas League we have a 19-man player limit. We own eight of our : players and the Philadelphia PhilI lies, with whom we have a worki ing agreement, own 11. “Last year it cost us $175,00( to operate the Tulsa club." he 1 adds. “We broke even only be- : cause we were lucky enough tc ■ sell two of our own players tc ! major league teams due, pri--1 marily, to the fact that our play- ’ ers' payroll ran $75,000.” That’s where the major leagues ■ come in, according to his “We have no equity in the play- : ers they send us,” he explains. “We polish them and pay their ' way while we are doing it. It’s ■ time that tie majors started subsidizing the training of their fu1 ture major league stars.” Howlett, a member of the Ma-jor-Minor League Fund Committee which the majors set up to distribute $500,000 in aid to the minors, feels that the majors should “pay the travel expenses here for farmed out players as well as their training expenses and their salaries.” —- Says TV Hurts There is no doubt in Howlett’s mind but what the weekly TV 1 casts into his territory "insidiously are chipping us away, little by ’ little.” j, George Weiss and Gabe Paul, general managers respectively ol the Yankees and the Cincinnati Redlegs, are on the major-minor league committee and their reactions to the minor leaguers’ plight obviously annoy the Tulsa owner. "Weiss seems to think that the problem is lazy residential opera- . tors who don’t know how to pro- ; mote people into the ball parks, ’ Howlett says with some heat. ■This isn’t so, because we in the minors have done and are doing everything we know how, working more hours than the major i leaguers do. Paul sajys the minors : have always had Ja problem and always will be up and down. The ■ difference is that now we arc > down in the deepest valley in i which we’ve ever been and there ; are new problems such as we 1 never faced before. ,i _ — If you have something to sell oi rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad— they bring results.

National Open Golf Meet To Open Thursday TULSA, Okla. (UPD — Bantam Ben Hogan, who ranks up there with Cary Middlecoff and Sammy Snead in the favorite’s role for the U.S. Open golf championship which starts Thursday, tomplained today that there was ‘Hoo much furore” about his chanees of winning the title for an unprecedented fifth time. ' "A lot of people seem to be excited about it,” Hogan said. ‘‘l’m not even thinking about the number five or anything else. I’d have to say I’m more relaxed now, going into an Open, than I've ever been.” Declaring that the back trouble which forced him to withdraw from the Open last year bothers him “only now and then,” Hogan only hoped that “my putter stays with me." Shoots 7» He shot a final practice round par 70 over the tough Southern Hills golf course Tuesday and decided that would be his final tuneup except “for hitting a few balls off the practice tee today.” “You have to think beyond Thursday and Friday,” Hogan explained. “Those single rounds those two days don’t concern me. But those two rounds on Saturday — well, at 46 that’s something else." Julius Boros, who won the Open in 1952, and Tommy Bolt also scored 70s in practice rounds Tuesday. Middlecoff didn’t keep score in his final tune-up round. To Trim Rough All of the 162 players in the field applauded the decision of Joey Dey, executive secretary of the U.S. Golf Association, to trim ' the rough to a uniform four inches. Snead, among others, called the rough, which in spots ; ran as high as 10 inches, "the toughest and most unfair rough : i’ve ever seen.” i “Cutting it down will help,” ■ Slammin’ Sammy said. "Now if i they will do something about those traps.” One pro, Pat Abbott of Mem- ' phis, Tenn., actually lost his ball ' when he hit a trap with his nine iron approach on the 378-yard, par-four 10th hole into a trap beside the green. After raking the t trap for five minutes they still couldn’t find the ball. e ti r I Trade ih a good town — Decatur i. -i *

Republicans Favor Right To Work Law Carefully-Worded Plank In Platform INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - The Republican party's Indiana state platform is expected to contain a “carefully-worded’ plank favoring the 1957 “right to work” law. Frederick E. Schortemeier, chairman of the GOP platform advisory committee, made that statement today following a session at which both opponents and proponents of the controversial law spoke. — —.. ... Schortemeier said that he could not say “positively” that the GOP would have a platform containing a stand on right-to-work, but he was inclined to think there would be “a carefully-worded plank in favor of maintaining the present law.” Labor representatives who spoke in favor of repealing the law and "right to work” committee officials who took the opposite view were among 20 delegations heard at Tuesday's platform meeting.
