Lew Burdette Hurls, Bats Braves To Win By FRED DOWN United Press International Lew Burdette, who took matters into his own hands for the Milwaukee Braves in the 1957 World Serie?, may ba about to do the same for them in the currently snarled - up National League pennant race. The World Series hero, an in-and-outer the first half of this season, staged a one-man show at Los Angeles Thursday night when he hit two homers, including a grand slammer, to lead the Braves to an 8-4 victory over the Dodgers. Burdette's first homer, off Johnny Podres in the fourth inning, made him the only active N.L. pitcher with a grand slam to his credit. The victory enabled the Braves to go m games ahead of the second-place San Francisco Giants who were beaten. 4-0. by Bob Purkey and the Cincinnati Redlegs. The Philadelphia Phillies moved into third place with a 13-3 rout ot B the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs bea,t the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-7, in other N.L. games. In the American League, the New York Yankees opened up an 11%-game margin by sweeping a day-nighter from the Cleveland Indians, 7-4, and 4-3. The Boston Red Sox crushed the Chicago White Sox, 11-2, and took over the second place when the Baltimore Orioles swept the Kansas City Athletics, 6-3 and 3-2, while the Washington Senators downed the Detroit Tigers. 5-3. Burdette Booed A crowd of 40,508 at Los Angeles booed Burdette, who got into frequent disputes with umpire Shag Crawford over bal-and-strike calls but went the distance with an 11-hitter. The win squared his record at 7-7 while the loss was Johnny Podres’ eighth in 16 decisions. Burdette hit his grand slam in the fourth inning after the Braves filed the bases on a single by Del Crandall, Johnny Logans double and an intentional walk to Andy Pafko. The blow went over the Coliseum’s short left field screen and Felix Mantilla followed with another in the same spot to put the Braves atread.* *SO: Purkey shut out the Giants for the second time this year and won his 10th game for the Redlegs with a near seven-hitter. Frank Robinson homered and also singled in a run for the Redlegs while Johnny Temple and Don Hoak each has two hits. Al Worthington suffered his fourth loss.

Relief pitchers Johnny Kupks and Ryne Duren held the Indians to one hit over the last 5 2-3 Innings. In the night game, Jerry Lumpe’s two-run double was the big blow of a four-run eighth inning New York rally and Duren again came to the rescue with his flame * thrower in the ninth.

14 Countries Already Enter Pan American CHICAGO (UPD—Fourteen nations already have committed themselves to entering the 1959 Pan American Garhes. In aU, *25 — and maybe 28 — nations arer eligible. Thtis, a year ahead of the entry deadline, half the potential roster has signed up. In 1955, when the games 'were in Mexico City, 21 countries eventuaUy turned out with 1,655 athletes for the 20 sports. Ofifcials said they expect 2,000 athletes to enter in 1959. No country has yet announced the size of its entry, but Venezuela and Canada said they’ll send “full teams.’’ It was expected the United States at least would do likewise. Cuba said its athletes would participate in all but five sports and Brazil signed for all but six. Other early entrants included Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Uruguay, Mexico, Bermuda, Curacao (Netherland Antilles), Barbados and Bolivia. Barbados and Bolivia were absent from the 1955 gmes. ’ Officials said it was “probable” that Ecuador, Haiti and Nicaragua soon would be added to the eligible list. Track and field appeared the most popular sport division. All but four of the 1959 early entrants said they planned a track and field team. Three nations already have OnterecFtach of the 20 sports, which also include baseball cyling, equestrian, fencing, football (soccer), gymnastics, a modern pentathlon, voleyball, water polo, wrestling and yachting. Both men’s and women’s divisions have been set up in basketbal, fencing, swimming, tennis, track and field, and voleyball. In all, at least 144 separate events were scheduled, excluding single “round robin” tournaments in men’s basketball and volleyball and double tourneys in baseball, football, water polo and women’s basketball and volleyball. Klenk's Game Rained Out Thursday Night Thursday night’s rain washed out a 5-2 lead which Klenk's had built in two innings against Tony & Jim’s Cantina in a Federation league game at Worthman field. No date has been set for playing the ■“SSE SKaaa in another league battle Saturday night at 8 o'clock at Worthman field, and will travel to Harlan for a league contest at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Little League Games Scheduled Tonight Little League officials stated at 2 o’clock this afternoon that tonight's scheduled double header will be played unless there is more rain. Search Planes Seek t I Rocket's Nose Cone Last Resort Effort On To Locate Cone CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (UPD — Three search planes crisscrossed the vast south Atlantic today in a "last resort” effort to locate an experimental nose cone and Mia 11, the white mouse blasted into space at the tip of a hybrid rocket. But the Air Force indicated that whether or not the little passenger is recovered, the nose cone passed the crucial test of re-entry into the earth's atmosphere in a flight of more than 6,000 miles—the range of an intercontinental holistic missile. Air Force officials said search planes saw the nose cone of the Thor - Able rocket returning to earth from space minutes after the missile was fired Wednesday night. That meant the United States can deliver larger nuclear payloads more accurately. But efforts to find the rocket tip and its tiny captive passenger proved futile Thursday, and Air Force officials said the search task force would be reduced ,to only three planes to comb the impact area 5,500 miles southeast of here near Ascension Island. The rocket’s wee voyager was no ordinary house mouse, and she was treated accordingly. Air Force Pentagon oficials, who -at first would not confirm the mouse was aboard when the rocket was fired, said later the tittle creature was reclining in a hammock in the cone when the Thor-Abie blatecr off. Mia II is an albino female which, emerged the winner over several other mice in pressure chamber tests prior to the big trip she took Wednesday night. Gen. Curtis LeMay, Air Force vice chief of staff described the test" as “entirely successful.” But he described the inclusion of the rodent in the nose cone as a sideline experiment for “the biomedical people.”

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S, Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Talk all you want about the ‘good old days” and the athletic marvels of the past but the Spalding High School AU-A m e r i c a basketball team in attendance at the All-Star Game offers proof again today that the kids of today are bigger and better than ever. These kids range in size from 6-foot, 9t£-inch Jerry Lucas of Middletown, Ohio, down to the "midget” of the group, 6-foot Doug Mills of Galesburg, 111. And they can do things with a basketball which have all the colleges in the country drooling. Pick almost any sport and you’ll find that the modern youngster can run rings around the oldtimers while munching a ham sandwich. Bob Mathias was only 17 when he set a world record in the murderous 10-event decathlon to win the Olympic championship. In the process he made the immortal Jim Thorpe, one, of the most fabulous iron men of the past, look like an anemia victim. Bigger And Faster Jim Lee Howell, the New York Giants football coach, was some pumpkins just a decade ago as a pro footbal lineman. He was 220 pounds of muscular fury. But he admits that, in the pro game of today, he’d have been “too slow for offense and too light for defense.” Defensive linemen scale 230 pounds at a minimum, going up to 250 and 260, while the “light” 220 pounders who play offense have to be able to run like panicky thieves. Tbe four-minute mile, long considered merely a dream, has been broken 39 times by 18 different runners; the seven-foot high jump is a reality and weight lifters of the current era are hoisting loads which would put Atlas to shame. “You can claim that boxers aren’t what they used to be, but this is, as much as anything, an economic advancement. The big boys are there. They'd understandably rather .be bond salesmen than nose bashers. Consider these high school basketball players. Lucas, who is headed for Ohio State, played on teams which won 76 straight games before losing in the semi-finals of the Ohio state high school tournament. It was the first losing game in which he ever - had played over a six-year junior high and high school career. - . Mills turned down pitching bonus offers from the Cardinals and Yankees to enroll at Ilinois. He is a low 70 golfer and was allstate high school quarterback. Also onj the team was 6-foot. 2%-inch Cincinnati-bound Tom Sizer, one of LucaS 5 teammates at Middletown; 6-foot, 5-inch Norman Grow of Foley, Minn., who is an amazing 70 per cent shooter, headed for Minnesota: 6-6 Armand Reo of Troy, N.Y., a brilliant student who will matriculate at Notre Dame; Bill Lefevre, 6-5 of Albany, N.Y., enroled at Montana State; 6-4 John Kelso of Fort Wayne, Ind., also one of the best quarter milers in the state, and Willis Thomas, 6-3 of Los Angeles. “ They’re big and good in the modern manner. New Label ELIOT, Me. —• (W — A new word was added to the political lexicon in Maine when a candidate for Congress described himself as a “Responsibilitarian” in announceing his candidacy. Walter MacDonald Jr., who seeks Republican nomination in the June 16 primaries, said by “Responsibilitari-* an” he meant a political who believes that “rights”, privileges and responsibilities are inseparable/*

In other men’s quarterfinal Hatches. Mike Green, No. 3, eliminated Estaban Reyes, Mexico City, 1-6, 6-2, 6-2.

The only “upset” of the day came when, fifth-seeded Donald Dell, Bethesda, Md., beat fourthseeded Dave Har um, Cora! Gables, Fla., 6-3. 6-2. JAen’s semi-finals were sched- : utod for Saturday with the final : Sunday. Top-seeded Nancy O’Connell, Chicago, will play Susan Hodgipan, Kalamazoo, Mich., and sec-ond-seeded Marilyn Montgomery, San Antonio, Tex., will go against i Judy Hogan. Cincinnati, in the women's semi-finals. The final will 'be played Saturday.

The men’s semis will match Bartzen and Green and Olmedo and Dell. Anthony Winner By First Round Knockout LOS ANGELES (UPD — Tony Anthony, number two light-heavy-weight contender, needed only 50 seconds to score a first round knockout over Cal Brad, ..California’s 175-pound champion, Thursday night at Olympic Auditorium. It was Anthony’s fourth straight knockout victory since he was siopped by champion Archie Moore in the same ring last year in a title fight. LiF Leaguer “The coach wants me to play deeper!”

Boxing Matchmaker Indicted On Charge NEW YORK (UPI) — An underworld “Mr. Big” may be handed the next indictment in District Attorney Fragk Hogan’s heavyfisted crackdown on professional boxing. Reports that a prominent underword figure was next on Hogan’s list circulated Thursday after the district attorney indicted matchmaker Jimmy White on charges of conspiring to "fix” a fight and of being a “front man" for Frankie Carbo, tagged "the No. 1 boxing racketeer in the country” by Hogan's office. It was the second indictment handed down by a grand jury investigating racketeering and corruption in boxing. Fight manager Hymie Wallman was accused last week of bribing boxing judge Bert Grant to influence his decesions Walman has been ordered to appear for a hearing on the bribery charges July 17. White, whose real name is Samuel Crossner, was charged with trying to fix a welterweight elimination bout between Virgil Akins and Isaac Logart at Madison Square Garden last March 21. He also was accused of acting as the undercover,, unlicensed manager of Logart in that bout. Logart, a 2 -1 favorite, was knocked out by Akins in the sixth round of the scheduled 12rounder. — If convicted as charged, White, who has served as a ngatchmaker in Miami, Scranton, Pa., and Denver, can be sentenced to two years in jail and fined 91,000.

Bony McKay Wins Davis Cup Opener TORONTO (UPI) — Whitney Reed of Alameda, Calif., turned dead serious today for his jraipdelayed singles match against Can ada's Bob Bedard in the semi-fin-als of the American Zone Davis Cup eliminations. Tabbed as a "court clown” by some, Reed realized that a loss to Bedard would hurt the U. S. team's chances in the best-of-five series and give the underdog Canadians a shot in the arm. The Yanks won the opener Thursday when Barry Mac Kay of Dayton, Ohio, humbled Toronto’s Don Fontana, 6-1, 6-2, 7-5. A heavy downpour then hit the courts, forcing a one-day postponement of the Reed - Bedard match.
