Braves, Spahn Beat Giants, .» Boost Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Presi • International Strep throat and all, Warren Spahn of Milwaukee just about put the final chill on San Francisco’s pennant fever. Spahn was confined to his hotel room Sunday with an inflamed throat and there was some question whether he would be able to pitch against the Giants Monday night. The 37-y ear-old southpaw promptly eliminated all question when he went out and held the Giants to five hits in a 6-1 victory that stretched Milwaukee’s firstplace margin to eight games over San Francisco. It was Spahh’s 17th victory of the season and the Braves made his job easy by knocking out Mike McCormick with a five-run burst in the second inning. Six hits, an error and a hit batsman did the damage. Pirates Also Lose Los Angeles defeated Cincinnati, 4- and St. Louis beat third-place Pittsburgh, 7-1, in the other National League games Scheduled. Baltimore topped Chicago, 6-5, and Washington nipped Cleveland. 5- in the two American League games played. The Dodgers’ victory over the Redlegs was essentially a two-man job by southpaw Johnny Podres and outfielder Carl Furillo. Podres j yielded a two-run homer to Pete Whisenant In the first inning but ; blanked Cincinnati thereafter to > gain his 12th victory, 11 of which ] have been registered at the Los ■ Angeles Coliseum. Furillo rapped out three of the Dodgers’ nine hits , off loser Harvey Haddix and drove in two runs. Hits Three-run Homer Wally Moon’s three-run homer ; off loser Ronnie Kline was the i blow that assured the Cards their , triumph over the Pirates.

Successful qualifiers will join 25 exempt players in the championship competition at the Olympic Country Club, San Francisco, Sept. 8-13. Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPl»—Make like a tourist for a month, trying out some of these dodges that you usually watch from the press box, and they pull the rug out from under you with more upsets than a canoe full of kids. The last time I saw Eddie Sawyer he was a smiling, relaxed man admittedly happy making PG.A. golf balls. Now I see by a month’s worth of stacked up papers that he’s managing the Phils and wearing a worried frown. Bridie Tebbetts was saying a while back that baseball was his life and everything would work out fine at Cincinnati. So he’s gone, too, along with the Phillies’ Mayo Smith, and Jimmy Dykes is worrying his cigar more than usual. Didn’t Catch A Fish When you went away the Yanks were breezing along 154 games on top. So they have a terrible slump, Casey Stengel says they’re not one of his better teams—and they still are so far in front it looks like a two- division league with seven clubs in the other half. I couldn’t catch a single fish, but Floyd Patterson did. He flattened Roy Harris in 12 heats and the Texan summed up the whole bit when he allowed "I wasn’t as good as I thought I was.” Say all you want about Patterson being a “cheese” champ who doesn’t fight enough — but where are you going to find somebody to beat him? My golf still is featured by the finest banana ball slice this side of a chocolate nut sundae. But it was nice to hear that a couple of old friends finally hit the fairway jackpot. Cary Middlecoff had been without a victory for 26 months and was guessing “maybe I’ll never win another.” But he did at Milwaukee and then big Mike S o u ch a k, out of the winner’s circle for two years, got there first at St. Paul. Stan Keeps Things Normal Dashing to the dinner table was about my most strenuous effort for a month but that Herb Elliott of Australia carried this breaking of the four - minute mile to ludicrous lengths in Dublin. A few years back it was believed impossible. Now enough guys have done it to fill a good - sized bus. His 3:54.5 was fantastic — and nobody even snickered when he said that somebody soon would do a flat 3:50. The football All - Stars got into the act by creaming the Detroit Lions, 35-19, making me something of a bum around the house for telling my son the Lioiis would win in a breeze. The only guy who kept things slightly normal was Stan Musial. He’s still up there at the top of the National League batting race, right where he was when you started enjoying my vacation.

Coast Coaches Have Squabble On Recruiting BERKELEY, Calif. (UPI) — r George' Dickerson, recently appointed head football coach at UCLA, apparently was deep in the dog house today for publicly ■ airing a “family squabble” with , California over alleged recruiting abuses. California coach Pete Elliott i angrily blasted Dickerson for allegedly betraying a trust by i baring accusations of illegal recruiting of UCLA - marked football prospects by a Cal alipnni group. Elliott was particularly critical of Dickerson for publicly accusing Herman Weiner, president of the i Southern Seas,” Cal’s Southern California booster organization, , for using the funeral of the late Bruin coach. Red Sanders, as an i opportunity to approach a junior college transfer already committed . to UCLA. Wilbur Johns, UCLA athletic > director and Dickerson's immediate boss, was reported to be “flabbergasted and embarrassed” by Dickerson's actions. Bud Hastings, head of Cal's Associated Students, quoted him as saying the proper way to have handled the complaint was through the heads of the respective athletic departments. Dickerson, who was Sanders' No. 1 assistant before succeeding him, told a press conference he flew here last Saturday to confront Elliott with the charge of Bill Kilmer, the junior college transfer registered for the fall term at UCLA, that he was approached by Weiner at Sanders’ funeral. Elliott acknowledged he ahd Dickerson discussed the beef but the Cal coach said Monday night they agreed to keep IF a "family matter” if Weiner was ordered to stop all recruiting “until an investigation could be made in the proper manner.” “This trust was broken,” Elliot said. "Using the press as a threat and making public -display of 1 practice's in recruiting can only hurt college football.” Weiner denied he had “tried to .lure Kilmer to Cal.

Little Leaguers Get Thrill From Campy NEW YORK (UPD-Baseball’s Little League champions from Monterrey, Mexico, aren’t likely to forget their visit with one of Monterrey’s all-time sports heroes —Roy Campanella. < Years ago the fathers of the kids from "south of the border" roared with delight when Campanella slugged homers for the Monterrey team in a Mexican league back in the days before Campy joined the Brooklyn Dod-> gers and became one of the most famous catchers of all time. So the kids knew all about Campy from the stories their fathers told, and were looking forward to visiting him. Campy met them at the NYUBellevue Medical Center where he

Local Magician Will Entertain Scouts Don Brewer, local magician, will appear at the Thursday evening meeting of the Boy Scout troop 63, sponsored by the American Legion at 7 p.m. at the Decatur youth center. < Members and anyone interested in joining a troop are asked to attend and register for the new year. This may well be Brewer’s last demonstration here of magic, prestidigitation, and legerdemain, as he will be moving form Decatur in the near future. He has been attending school out of town for the past year and has been serving as j a camp counselor during the summer. The troop considers itself very fortunate in securing his act during his few days of vacation here. All scouts, their families and guests are invited to attend.
