Lionel Hebert Leads Colonial By Stroke FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP!) — Lionel Hebert, the Louisiana larruper whose putting in recent months has been “the worst in my experience,” led the Colonial National invitation golf tournament by a stroke today as the select field turned into the second round. The chunky, 31-year-old member of the Hebert golfing brothers clipped three strokes off Colonial’s 7,000-yard par 35-35—70 layout Thursday and it earned him a one-stroke lead over veteran Ted Kroll of Sarasota, Fla., who finished early with a 35-33—68. “I’ve been playing better from tee to green than any time since I turned pro in 1950,” Lionel said, “but my putting has been horrible. I’ve always had trouble with the long putts, but it got to the point I couldn’t even get a short one to' drop. “I got a new mallet head putter at Houston, where I finished in the money but out of the top 20. I think I've solved most of my troubles on the greens.” Hebert, despite his optimism, still, missed four putts of eight feet or less in posting his 33-34 — 67, but had to overcome a double bogey six on the river-bordered fifth hole to forge his leadership. The third-place 69-bracket was loaded with four players, including hot-shooting Tournament of Champions titlist Mike Souchak of Grossinger, N.Y., Houston Classic champ Jack Burke of Kigmesha Lake, N.Y., hometowner Ben Hogan and Bill Johnston of Provo, Utah. Four others managed to match par. They were Tommy Jacobs of Whittier, Calif., Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla.. Jim Ferree of Winston-Salem, N.C., and Gardner Dickinson of Panama City, Beach.

White Sox Win Over Yankees" In 11 Innings By FRED DOWN United Press International Billy Pierce and Nelson Fox may look like batboys but they’re doing a man-sized job making Chicago White Sox Manager Al Lopez' prerieason prediction stand up. Lopez insisted his White Sox wouldn’t get off to the poor start that ruined them in 1958 and he’s so right. A year ago at a similar stage of the season the White Sox already were sefen games behind the New York Yankees. Now they’re 9% games better off than they were in ’SB! The White Sox scored their most important victory of the new season so far Thursday night when they beat the Yankees, 4-3, in 11 innings arid thus gained a split in their first series with the world champions. Pierce Goes Route Pierce, a 160-pound lefty who pitches like a 200-pounder, went the route, limiting the Yankees to nine hits and winning his, third game of the young season. And Fox, who had four hits in Wednesday’s loss to the Yankees, went 2-for-4, stretching his batting streak to seven games and raising his batting average to .423. Harry Simpson’s ninth-inning homer gave the Kansas City Athletics a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Senators walloped the Detroit Tigers, 9-1, in other AL games. In the National League, Warren Spahn’s six-hitter gave the Milwaukee Braves a 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-4, and the Chicago Cubs edged the Cincinnati Reds, 3-2, in 10 innings.. Duren Is Wild Relief pitcher Ryne Duren’s wildness cost the Yankees- the game: He walked Fox to open the 11th, retired the next two batters as Fox moved around to third and then purposely walked Sherman Lollar who had homered in the sixth. A walk to pihch-hltter Billy Goodman filled the bases and then Al Smith singled on a 3-and-2 pitch to break up the contest. It was Duren’s second defeat of the year without a victory. Ned Garver pitched eight-hit ball to gain his third win when Simpson’s first hit of the season broke up the Kansas City-Balti-more game. Billy Loes, who had not yielded a run this season, was the victim of the blow and suffered the loss. Get 17 Hits Bill Fischer pitched a six-hitter and won his second game behind e 17-hit attack. The Senators wrapped up the decision in the fifth inning with a five-run uprising. Hank Aaron broke up the Mil-waukee-St. Louis pitching duel with his sixth homer of the year in the fourth inning and Spahn did the rest as he registered the 45th shutout and 249th win of his career. Duke Snider’s two-run inside-the-park homer enabled the Dodgers to rally for four runs in the seventh inning and provide Johnny Klippstein with his third win. ReUef pitcher Bill Henry won his second game for the Cubs when Erne Banks snapped a 3-3 tie with his fifth homer. ,San Francisco at Pittsburgh was rained out. :'■ J - • ROCK ’N ROLL DANCE Tuesday Night, May sth 9:00 p. m. to 12:00 Midnight Music by the “JOKERS” Routfd and Dancing Saturday and Sunday Nights Open until 2:30 a. m.

Patterson Is 'J Heavy Favorite To Beat London INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI) — Champion Floyd Patterson is a lopsided favorite at 10-1 to beat lantern-jawed Brian London of England tonight in perhaps the strangest heavyweight title fight ever scheduled. Patterson and his handlers arranged this 15-round bout with the semi-exiled Britisher at the Fairgrounds Coliseum as a “tune up” —a high-class workout to sharpen Floyd for his million-dollar defense against Sweden’s Ingemar Johansson at New Hork, June 25. From a cash angle, it will be the most lucrative tune-up In history. London, ex-British empire champion, is guaranteed 160,000 plus trans-Atlantic expenses for three people and Patterson’s purse may approximate $238,000. An advance sale of SIOO,OOO Indicated a crowd of 8,000 and a gate of $130,000 tor the first world title fight of any kind every held in Indiana. The TV-radio fee is an additional $175,000. Tie bout will be televised and broadcast nationally at 10 p.m., e.d.t., by the National Broadcasting Co., with a TV blackout on a 75-mile radius for the Indianapolis area. Risks are Great From the professional angle, Patterson is not only risking his title, but he’s chancing an injury —a face cut or a fracture that might cause postponement or cancellation of his June classic with European champion Johansson. In his Indianapolis sparring sessions, big, black-haired Brian displayed a rough-house aggressiveness that menaced his mates not only with his fists but with his head and elbows. Although London's elongated chin is an inviting target, his street-brawler style could make him the wrong opponent for a champion who hopes to emerge without face wounds or broken hands. Manager Cus D’Amato and trainer Dan Florio will be sweating hailstones tonight during 24-year-old Floyd’s fourth defense of the crown. And in the British Isles, members of the British Boxing Board of Control will be perspiring icily —for a far different reason. It was the BBBC that refused a permit for London to come to the United States and challenge for the world title. Britain’s cauliflower fathers thought Brian might ipake a poor showing and lower British boxing prestige. Writers Expect KO But six-foot London Came over anyway, and he impressed American sportswriters with his yen for battle and charmed them with his cooperation during press conferences. The BBBC prefers to have British champions challenge for world titles. London lost his British Isles and British Empire titles in his last fight to England’s Henry Cooper on a decision Jan. 12. Nevertheless, London still is ranked fourth among world contenders by our Njationol Boxing Association and eighth by the Ring magazine. The Cooper defeat was London’s fourth in 26 starts. He never was knocked off his feet, thoilgh he was stopped once when woozy and bleeding. A fair puncher, he registered 19 knockouts. London, like Patterson, is 24. Champion Floyd, Rockville Center, N.Y., is a lopsided favorite because of his speed, skill, punch and record. He knocked out 15 of his last 16 opponents and now seeks his 22nd straight victory. He lost but one of his 35 starts, on a questionable decision, and registered a total of 25 kayoes. Because of these facts, a United Press Iftternational poll of 38 writers failed to disclose a single pick for London. Thirty-six forecast a Patterson victory by knockout and two by decision. Fights American Style London—who fights in the American style with a pressing attack of left jabs, left hooks and sneaker rights—is also a good body puncher. He shuffles forward on •strudy legs, somewhat in the fashion of Rocky Marciano; but he lacks Marciano’s deep bob-and-weave for defensive purposes. London hopes to become the first world heavy titleholder born in the British Isles since “Ruby” Bob Fitzsimmons, who wore the crown from 1897-1900. Should Brian upset Patterson, the Britisher is bound by contract to grant Floyd a return title fight somewhere in the United States within 90 days. Each would receive 30 per cent of all net receipts. Little League Tryouts Monday And Tuesday Tryouts for the Decatur Little League, postponed this week because of heavy rains, have been rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Boys aged 9 and boys aged 12 will try out at Worthman field Monday evening at 6 o’clock, and boys 10 and 11 years old will report at 6 p.m. Tuesday. These tryouts are only for boys who were not members of a league team last season.
