Joey Jay Hurls Fourth Win Os Year Tuesday By MILTON RICHMAN Unttgd Press International The jay is a member of the crow family, so Milwaukee can’t be blamed today for crowing over Joey Jay, a young pitcher once pegged as being strictly for the birds. The trouble with Jay, they used to say around the National League, was that he never outgrew the little leagues in which he used to be cock of the walk. Given a $40,000 bonus when he was 17, Jay took his good old time winning a place with the Braves. The standard gag among rival players was, “Well, now that they’ve got their money invested in him, let’s see them get.it out.” Suddenly, however, the 22-year-old right-hander is starting to repay that investment with added dividends. Like Tuesday night, for example, when he turned in a briliant four-hitter and struck out eight batters in a 4-1 victory over the Cardinals. It was Jay’s fourth triumph of the campaign and the Braves needed it to retain their half-ga me lead in the tight N.L. race. Hank Aaron took care of the attack, driving in three runs with his 16th and 17th homers and a sacrifice fly. Wes Covington also homered off loser Sal Maglie, who yielded all of Milwaukee’s pins. Giants Also Win The San Francisco Giants stayed right at the Braves’ heels with a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, who dropped their fourth straight game. Mike McCormick, 19-year-old bonus southpaw, registered his seventh victory against one defeat when he pitched out of jams in the eighth and ninth to beat Robin ' Roberts. Hie loss was a heart-breaker | for Roberts, who held the Giants to two hits over the first eight innings. A bases-loaded error by Willie Jones os Ray Jablonski’s grounder in the sixth alowed San Francisco to score’ the only run of the game. Pittsburgh snapped the Los Anigeles Dodgers’ four-game winning Lstreak with a 6-2 decision that was credited to Ronnie Kline. The Pirates sheled loser Don Drysdale from the mound with a four-run rally in the eighth inning anter Duke Snider belted the longest homer ever hit in the Memorial Coliseum —a 440-foot wajlpp ; over the centcr-Jield fence — to tie the score at 2-2 in the sixth' inning. Cincinnati and Chicago were not] scheduled. - A .. Tie For 4th Place Baltimore moved into the first (division in the American League for the first time since the openj ing w eek of the season with a 12- ! inning 4-3 triumph over Chicago Gus Triandos, who beltd his 117th homer earlier in the contest, singled home the winning run off reliever Turk Lown with the bases loaded and two out in the 12th. Arnie Portocarrero went the. dis- > tance and chalked up his eighth victory. By winning, the Orioles climbed into a fourth-place tie with Kansas City, which bowed to Boston, 5-2. Jackie Jensen gave the Red Sox their winning margin when he blasted his 27th homer with two on in the first inning off loser Ray Herbert. Frank Sullivan ran his record to 8-2 as he held the Athletics to eight hits in seven innings. Roy Sivers poled his 21st home run of the season in the seventh inning to break a tie and power Washington to a 5-4 decision over Cleveland. Sievers’ blow came off loser Gary Bell,- who took over for starter Herb Score after the Senators nicked him for.four runs in the first two innings. Score, making his first starting appearance since April 30, walked four men and gave up three hits. Frank Lary of Detroit beat the New Cork Yankes for the fifth ' time this season. 12-5. although he ' wilted in the 90-degree hedt and needed help from Hank Aguirre in , the eighth. The Tigers wrapped up their ninth victorh in 13 meetings th’e Yanks this . seasbn by scoring nine runs in the first four innings off loser Zack Monroe and Virgil Trucks. .

The 37-year-old former Walker Cupper and sandpaper salesman easily bagged medal honors in two days of qualifications Tuesday with a 36-hole total of 141, even par, three shots ahead of his closest rival. ' Morey faced Henry Timbrook, Jr., a former state champ from Columbus, in the first round of the lower bracket. Timbrook qualified at 151. Defending champion John David, the long-hitting “bomber” from Indianapolis, said he was ready to go despite an old back injury which kicked up Monday. David, another four-time winner, had his caddy pick up his ball on the first hole after the back “went out” on his tee shot. He was treated at the University of Notre Dame Hospital and Said Tuesday night he would be ready to go as 64 qualifiers teed off in the first of two elimination rounds. David as defending champion was not required to qualify. Thursday will find only 16 linksmen left in the field, but when play opened, all four former champs and all of the favorites were in the field. 240 Try It Morey had a one-over-par 72 Tuesday at Morris to go with his sub-par round of 69 Monday. Tom Bujeker, South Bend, had a■ «4 with rounds of 71 and 73 for medalist runner-up honors. Art Gee of Gary was third with rounds of 74 and 71 for 145. Larry Tanber, Michigan City, Bob McCall, Gary, and Nick Garbacz, South Bend, had 1465. Six tied at 147.

Jim Smitson, Indianapolis, who tied Morey the first day took an 80 for 149. The other winner of the weeklong grind making the field was Bob Myers of Indianapolis. Myers won in 1950 and Timbrook in 1941. Plays Steady Game As- predicted, the cut-off point was 155. Nine tied for the last qualifying spot? 3nd had to play until nearly darK-to determine the qualifiers. Amoung those making it in the playoffs was Chuck Farrington, Kokomo, run-ner-up to David last year. Two highly-regarded youngsters slid 4nto match play with disap--1 pointing medal scores. Don Essig :of Indianapolis and Louisiana (State, 1957 Publinx champ, had a 150. Ron Royer, another Crawfordsville youth who attends Indiana, had a 153. Royer won the Midwest Amateur and State Junior titles this spring. He met Sommer, his hometown buddy, today in a rematch of the State Junior finale. Morey played a steady game to take medal honors. He birdied the first hole. Then he shot even .par on all but the 10th and 16th holes. He three-putted on both greens to take bogies! The pin placements were rough at Morris Park Tuesday where the cream of the huge field was concentrated after shooting the first round at Erskine. Muggy weather bothered the simon pures and made for high scores. • Two more rounds were scheduled for Thursday with the semifinals Friday and the* 36-hole finale Saturday. — Major League Leaders By United Press International National League Player & Club G.

Sam Snead Is Favorite To Win PGA Meet HAVERTOWN. Pa. (UPD—They were betting on old Sam Snead today to win the PGA golf tournament and on U.S. Open champion Tommy Bolt to escape heavy punishment on charges his conduct has been detrimental to the game of golf. There Were no official odds in either case. But old Slammin' Sammy, 46, was the sentimental favorite in the field of 163 play-for-pay golfers scheduled to tee off Thursday in the first four rounds of medal play which will decide the professional,'goifers championship And they figured that Bolt, the temperamental thunderbolt of the links, would oe in that field. The odds on Snead were better. Bolt received a 24-hour reprieve Tuesday when the PGA executive committee failed to take any action against him during a threehour meeting. Doesn't Show Up Tommy, although he knew the meeting was being held to weigh his case and had appealed the SSOO fine assessed against him in the Pepsi Open two weeks ago. didn’t show up. PGA President Harold Sargent received a telephone call from Bolt, advising him he had been delayed at Odessa, Tex., but Would be here today. So Sargent called a special meeting at 6 p.m. at which Bolt’s immediate golfing future will be decided. Bolt could, under the PGA regulations, be suspended from tournament play and be assessed other penalties, including a fine. The fact the executive committee failed to act at Tuesday’s meeting indicated to Bolt’s felow pros that any penalty imposed upon Bolt would not take effect until after this tournament. After all, the PGA championship has ndt been a financial success for years, and the powers that be in that golfing body would not wwnt to eliminate one of its top gate attractions for this tourney. In Bargaining Position Bolt's fellow pros also pointed >ut that Tommy was wel aware >f this situation and that he was n a position where he could bargain for his rights. Thus, the consensus was that Tommy will be let off with a reprimand and be allowed to join the old golfing fraternity in a chase to beat Snead’s bid for his fourth PGA title. Snead,, has wonmoje toujnaments and more money than any golfer in history but if he should win the PGA again it would be a new fir t. For the PGA, because of a dwindling gate over the years; changed the format of its championship this year. It will be four rounds of medal play instead of the old match play system. Snead wasn’t the only favorite in the field. Ranked right up there with him were such shotmakers

Frick Foresees I s Expansion Os Major Leagues : WASHINGTON (UPI)-B a se- 1 ball Commissioner Ford C. Frick J declared today that expansion of ] the major leagues is “inevitable” but predicted it will come through larger leagues rather than franchise shifts. Frick made the statement in testimony supporting the Senate sports bill which would grant broad anti-trust immunity to professional team sports. To apply the anti-trust laws to baseball, he said, would be “inappropriate and disastrous.” The baseball commissioner urged Congress to extend baseball's court-endowed anti-trust exemptions to apply to other team sports. "Baseball firmly believes that the anti-trust laws are not appropriate for regulation of any organized teams sports and that basketball, football and hockey as well as baseball should hve exemption for their sports practices,” he said. The Justice Department came out Tuesday against a provision of the House-passed sports bill—roughly paraleling the Senate bill now under study—which would grant anti - trust immunity to rights to broadcast and telecast sports games. Chairman John C. Doerfer of the Federal Communications Commission also made it clear he considers that provision inimical to the public interest. The Feder-

al Trade Commission took no direct stand on the bill but a spokesman said it always has “tended to oppose any exemption to the anti-trust laws.” Frick said orderly expansion of " the major leagues would be "impossible” if anti-trust suits could be filed against the territorial rights of baseball clubs. He described the territorial rules imposed on baseball clubs and the reserve clause binding players forever to the teams which hold their contracts as “the keystones of organized basebEill.” Harridge Rejects Cleveland Protest CHICAGO (UPD — Will Harridge, preisdent of the American League, has refused Cleveland Manager Joe Gordon’s protest in the 10-0 loss to the New York Yankees last Saturday.
