Dodgers Lose Court Ruling On Park Site t . • LOS ANGELES (UPD — Any hopes the Dodgers had of leaving the Coliseum for their own park next year were dashed today as the club prepared to appeal a judge’s ruling that the Chavez Ravine contract with the city was invalid. Do d ger president Walter F, O’Maley indicated he expected to play, the entire 1959 season in the huge bowl with its 250-foot left field foul line. But he said right field might be revamped so that left - handed hitters like Duke Snider won’t lose all chances of getting an occasional home run. Superior Judge Arnold Praeger's ruling that the Dodgers’ contract with the city was not valid was being studied today by attorneys for the baseball club and the city. Assistant City Attorney Bourke Jones said it might ‘be six months before an appeal could be heard. The judge found the contract invalid because it gave the Dodgers the voice on how publif ! funds should be spent, committed i the city to buy land for a private i corporation which would use it to make pro fit, and gave the Dodgers control of half of any oil revenues produced by the land, although the Dodgers had sought to waive that right when trial of two taxpayers’ suits came before the court. O’Malley refused to lose his | optimistic view of the Dodgers’ j future in Los Angeles, however, declaring he had expected an ! appeal would be taken to higher : courts regardless of which side won the court test. But he said had th? court ruled in favor of the Dodgers it would have meant that a preliminary injunction would have been jiissolved and the ©tab Woiiid have been permitted to start grading of the stadium site in Chavez: Ravine where the Dodgers hope. to erect a modem, 50,000 - seat j baseball park. _____' Approve Stadium For San Francisco Giants SAN FRANCISCO (UPD - The. San Francisco Giants got past the final barrier in their fight for a home Monday when the Board of Supervisors voted to build a new stadium at Candlestick Point. By a vote of 8-2 ,the supervisors gave their approval to all the legislation necessary to get construcof leases and of a five-million-tion underway, including an okay dollar city bond issue for blying the Candlestick Point property; When finished, the new stadium will be approximately five miles from the center of town and will seat at least 45,000 persons, 22,000 more than Seals Stadiums, where the Giants now play.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International HAVERTOWN, Pa. (UPD — Slamlnin’ Sammy Snead looked 20 years into the past today to advise the average golfer that “the best golf is smart golf.” Slammin’ Sam knows what he’s talking about. He failed to do just tßat back in 1939 and it cost him the most coveted title in the golf world—the U. S. Open championship. ‘l’ll have to admit that I was guilty of bad thinking,” he admits. That most horrible moment of a brilliant golfing career came at Philadelphia's Spring Hill course when Snead stood on the tee of the 72nd and final hole needing only a par five to win'the Open and a bogey six to tie. He hacked out a soul - searing eight which, while it endeared him to millions of miserable mashie addicts, cost him what “could have been four or maybe six Open Titles.” Will Try Again Sam never has been able to win it. And now, at 46, his chances get dimmer by the hour. Not that he has given up. Nor have the members of his club in Boca Raton, \Fla. They actually have ordered him to spend three weeks next year at Winged Foot, Mamaroneck, N. Y:. Where the Open is to be held, getting himself “ready” for one all-out last-ditch bid. Sam has won just about everything else there is in the fairway business, from the British Open on through-to the PGA championship, which he has taken three times and which he will shoot at again this week end over the tight, tricky Llanerch Country Club course. But his “thinking,” back there in 1939 when he could have wrapped up an Open title which since has become a “jinx” with four second-place finishes, still haunts' the Slammer from the "West Vir-ginia-hills. “It wasn't all bad thinking,” he says; T wasn't exactly sure where I stood and the word that ■ reached me was that I needed a birdie four on the last hole to win.” Sam pushed his drive into tlte Tough on that long, par - five hole and then — shooting for the green—he picked a two wood. Play It Safe “It didn’t have enough loft,” he says in sad retrospect. “If I was snMrt-L coukLha.ve tak.en a four wood and still possibly have made the green. Or a two iron shot would have set up ah easy par five which would have won it all.” But he dumped it into a trap, left it there, rammed his next into a trap short of the green, barqly got it out on the front edge and then—three-putted. “I’ve played that hole over a million times and never did I score worse than a par five,” he smiles ruefully. “So I’ve got- to tell the average golfer to look over the situation carefully and,, if the odds are against a four, play for the five rather than shoot at the borderline six. That way you’ll often get your four 'Sand you won’t get the double bogey.” Sam competed in that ‘stroke conscious” manner, playing the sure shot instead of the gamble, in 1949 and 1950 and finished those two years with a tremendous stroke average of 69.2. “There’s a time you must gamble and a time when you should [play safe,” he grits. "It’s a smart I cookie who knows when t( de I which.”

Yankees Boost League Margin To 13 Gaines By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International The New York Yankees aren’t looking to coast into the World Series, they're aiming to fly in by a record margin. They didn’t decide on that figure arbitrarily, either. If they can make it, they will shatter their own record of games by which they won the 1936 American League pennant. This bit of side - play is perfectly all right with Casey Stengel. who wouldn’t. mind being remembered as the Yankee manager who captured a pennant by the biggest margin in their history. Right now, the distinction belongs to Joe MaCarthy, who led the 1936 Yankees. The runaway Yankees increased their lead to 13 games — largest margin of the season — with a 5-0 victory over the Chicao White Sox Monday night. Southpaw Whitey Ford breezed to his 11th victory while giving up only three hits and walking none. He got the only run he really needed when Hank Bauer led off the first inning with his ninth homer of Ifoser Early Wynn. Mickey Mantle slammed his 23rd homer in the seventh to iJelp Ford run his lifetime record to 24-8 over the White Sox. Senators Blanked Ex-Yankee Jack Urban halted Kansas City's six - game losing streak when he shutout Washington, 4-0, on four hits for his seventh triumph of the year. The Athletics rapped Pedro Ramos for three runs in the first inning. Preston Ward doubling home two of the runs and then scoring himself on Harry Simpson’s single. Bob Boyd’s eighth - inning homer broke up a pitching duel between Skinny Brown and Herb Moford and led the Baltimore Orioles to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Boyd also scored Baltimore’s first run in the opening inning when he doubled and came home on Gene Woodling’s single. Brown yielded seven hits and struck out eight in posting his third straight victory. The Boston Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak by defeating the Cleveland Indians, 4-3. in 10 innings. Southpaw Don Mossi walked in the winning run by giving up a base on balls to pinch hitter Ted Lepcio with the bases full. Jim (Mudcat) Grant, however, was the loser. Braves Regain Lead Murray Wall hurled two- hit ball after replacing Dave Sisler in the seventh inning to gain his sou r t h victory. Dick Brown homered for the Tribe. Milwaukee, which relinquished the National League lead Sunday recaptured it from San Francisco by drubbing the Giants, 12-3, behind Lew Burdette’s five - hit pitching. Wes Covington and Johnny Logan paced the Braves’ 16-hit attack, the bulk of which was borne by loser Red Worthington. Covington drove in three runs with a homer and three singles while Logan also knocked in three runs with a homer and a pair of singles. Leon Wagner homered for the Giants. The victory was Burdette’s eighth of the year. Little Don Zimmer cracked out two home runs as the Los Angeles Dodgers made it four in a row over the Cincinnati Redlegs with an 8 - 5 decision. Zimmer drove in four, runs with his two homers while Charlie Neal contributed a three-run homer and Steve Bilko connected with the bases empty. Cubs Win In 11th Southpaw Johnny Podres scored his ninth victory although he gave way to Johnny Klippstein in the sixth inning. Bob Purkey suffered his sixth loss against 10 victories. Walt Moryn’s two- run double in the 11th inning enabled the Chicago Cubs to come from behind and earn an 11-10 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Moryn struck the winning blow off loser Ray Semproch after the Phils had gone ahead with an up- ; earned run in the top of the 11th. Lee Walls was the key man in Chicago’s 15-hit offensive, driving in four runs with his 20th homer and a double. Moryn and Johnny Goryl also homered for the Cubs. Reliever Glenn Hobbie was credited with his seventh victory. Pittsburgh and St. Louis were idle. Trade in a good town — Decatur.
