Hogan, Three Others Tie In National Open MAMARONECK, N.Y. (UPI) — His game’s the same but the big question in the second round of the U.S. Open golf championship today was whether Bantam Ben Hogan’s aging legs Jcould carry him through four ruged rounds to an unprecedented', fifth title. Dead on his game on a course he knows so well, the 46-year old Hogan fired 32-37—69 for a share of the first day lead with three, 29-year-olds—PGA champion Dow Finsterwald; dead-pan Gene Littler, who always has been rated as another potential Hogan, and Dick Knight, whose claim to golfing fame is that he won the Northern California Open. They all know Hogan’s golf. But not even Ben can be sure his legs can withstand the challenge of the younger guard closing in on him—or even that of the ever-flaring hopes of < 47-year-old Sam Snead, who was four strokes

off the pace. Denied He Tired Hoan shot what he called “as rl a nine as I’ve ever played” the 20-mile an hour wind Which whipped the tough west course of the Winged Foot Golf Course Thursday when he played the front nine three under par. He denied he tired on the second nine, but it looked that way when he bogeyed the 18th hole by three-putting from 35 feet. “Funny thing, I’m back on putting,” Hogan said. “But it sure didn’t look like it on that 18th.” Ben had three birdies thanks to his putter, on that front nine but he had two bogeys on the back nine—the other being at the 212yard par three 13th where it looked like he hit a perfect tee shot. The wind carried it into a trap, however. That wind made it tough for most of the field of 149 golfers and only Hogan with those three 29-year-olds were able to break par. Hillman Robins, who won the U.S. amateur title in 1957 and si playing his first year as a pro, matched par at 70. Souchak Had 71 There were a host of 71’s—including two- time Open winner Cary Middlecoff, Mike Souchak, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Don January, Lionel Hebert, Ted Kroll, Bo Wininger. U. S. amateur king Charely Coe, Doug Ford, and Al Balding were among 10 in the 72 bracket. Defending champion Tommy .Bolt had a 75 and complained not about his game, but because “so few spectators followed us.” “Here you have the defending Open champion, the U.S. Amateur champion <Coe) and the home pro (Claude Harmon) and we can’t even get a gallery,” Bolt commented. Asked about his game, he had “nothing to say?,’ But it didn’t make temperamental feel any better when he was told that Thursday’s gallery was estimated at 16,100 —the largest opening day crowd in Open history and a crowd that has been exceeded only once in the 59 years this tournament has been played. Back at Inverness at Toledo. Ohio, in 1957, the event drew 16,527 for the final day’s play. Man Fatally Stung By Yellow Jackets GREENSBORO, N. C. (UPI) — A 39-year-old man died Thursday shortly after being stung four times by yellow jackets. ~ Thomas TjJppton _of Greensboro was dead on arrival at a hospital. Benton, a Negro, was stung while helping survey a lake near here. N. C. Rudd, head of the survey party, said Benton became ill less than five minutes after being stung. He- was unconscious when an ambulance reached him.

Belmont Stakes To Be Run Saturday NEW YORK (UPI) — Royal Orbit, the hero of the Preakness stakes, is expected to draw seven rivals when entries are accepted today for the 91st and richest running of the Belmont Stakes Saturday at Belmont Park. Regarded as other probable starters for the gruelling mile and one-half “test of the champion" are Sword Dancer, Black Hills, Bagdad, Manassa Mauler, Dunce, Scotland and Fort Erie. Although he turned in a smashing four-length triumph in the Preakness, Royal Orbit is not expected to cakewalk to victory in the Belmont. In fact, he may not even wind up as the favorite. Sword Dancer, the Preakness run-ner-up, will draw strong support along with Black Hills. Sword Dancer, who also finished second in the Kentucky Derby behind Tomy Lee; won the Metropolitan Mile against older horses in his last start. Black Hills missed both the Derby and. Preakness but earned considerable backing when he led home Bagdad and Royal Orbit in last week's Peter Pan Handicap, a prep for the Belmont. Eddie Arcaro, who has a record six Belmont winners to his credit, will ride Black Hills. Willie Shoemaker was due in from -California today to pilot Sword Dancer while Willie Harmatz, another west coast journeyman, will ride Royal Orbit. With eight starters the race will carry a gross purse of $144,500 and a net of $93,925 to the winner.

Pierce Tosses OneHilfer To Beal Senators By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International That’s two no-hltters Washington now has loused up for Billy Pierce but if you think he’s pitching in tough luck, get a load of poor Camilo Pascual. Pierce, at least, wound up with a one-hitter as the first - place White Sox beat the Senators, 3-1, Thursday night. Pascual, his mound opponent, wound up talking to himself after losing his third straight game with two out in tt>e ninth toning. - One look at the log of Pascual’s last three losses is enough to Convince anyone the Washington right-hander is the No. 1 candidate for the hard-luck pitcher of the year. , He had the Yankees shut out with two out to the ninth on May 31 when Bill Skowron beat him with a three-run homer. Last week, the Tigers also beat him with two out i t he ninth, and Thursday night Jim Landis beat him with two out to the ninth by hitting a two-run double. So Pierce really has no complaints. The White Sox lefty had a perfect game against the Senators with two out in the ninth last June 27 when pinch hitter Ed Fitz Gerald, now with Cleveland, broke up the no-hitter with a double. Samford Was The Culprit Ron Samford was the culprit Thursday night. His third toning double was the only hit Pierce allowed en route to his seventh victory. Pierce retired the next two batters, then walked three in a row to force in Washington’s only run. Rocky Colavito, still going strong after his four homers Wed-, nesday night, doubled home the winning run in ttie eighth inning Thursday night to boost Cleveland into second place with a 2-1 triumph over Baltimore, The Athletics dumped the Yankees back into second division with a 9-5 licking and the Tigers ripped the Red Sox, 8-1, in other American League games. Milwaukee widened its National League lead to two games with an 8-0 victory over St. Louis; Pittsburgh beat San Francisco., 12-9; Los Angles crushed Philadelphia, 11-0, and Cincinnati mauled Chicago, 8-0. Colayito connected for his game winning' two-bagger off Milt Pappas after Woodie Held opened the eighth inning with a walk. Winner Don Ferrarese held the Orioles to seven hits and enabled the-Indians to move a halfgame ahead of Baltimore, which dropped to third place.

Hadley Got Homer Kansas City raked an old nemisis, Bob Turley, for seven runs and 10 hits in four innings to beat the Yankees. Kent Hadley's two-run homer highlighted a five-run fifth inning rally by the A’s, who beat Turley for only the third time in his career against 16 losses to him. Ned Garver post his fifth victory although he gave up homers to Norm Siebern, Marv Throneberry and Mickey Mantle, and finally yielded to, Russ Meyer in the ninth. Ray Narleski limited the Red Sox to five hits in helping the Tigers climb to within a halfgame of third place. The only run Narlesky permitted was Ted Williams’ second homer of the season in the sixth. Al Kaline, Larry Osborne and Red Wilson hit homers in Detroit's 15-hit attack. - The Braves snapped the Cardi-

nals’ three-game winning streak with a 12-hit offensive that included home runs by Casey Wise and Del Crandall. Bob Buhl hurled a five-hitter and struck out eight in winning his sixth game. Wilmer Mizell, the loser, now is 7-3. Face Wins Ninth The Pittsburgh - San Francisco game was a comedy of errors with a total of 12 miscues. Pittsburgh committed seven and San Francisco five, but the two that hurt most were the ones made by giant shortstop Andre Rodgers. His frist error paved the way for two unearned runs in the seventh and jiis second helped the pirates to two more to the eighth when they scored five runs to go ahead. Reliever Roy Face won his ninth straight game without a loss and his 14th in a row dating back to last year even though he was tagged for a three-run homer by pinch hitter Willie Mays. . . . ■ Southpaw .Johnny Podres of the Dodgers held the Phillies to two hits in winning his seventh game of the season and fifth straight. Podres struck out seven, walked three and never permitted a runner to get as far as second. He also contributed three of the Dodgers’ 19 hits. Don Demeter drove in five runs with a pair of homers and two stogies. Robin Roberts was the loser. Roy McMillan clouted a threerun homer to help Don Newcombe and the Reds to their victory over the Cubs. The victory was Newcombe’s sixth and Cincinnati made it easy for him by getting to loser Moe Drabowsky for five runs i by the end of the third inning.

Ortiz Is Favorite Over Kenny Lane NEW YORK (UPI) — In a betting switch, Carlos Ortiz today became a 13-10 favorite to beat southpaw Kenny Lane in their fight tonight for the revived, synthetic junior welterweight title. Their Madison Square Garden 12-rounder—the first fight for the 140-pound championship in nearly 13 years—will be televised and broadcast nationally by NBC. Until today, sandy-haired Lane of Muskegon, Mich., had been a slight favorite at odds that dwindled.down to 11-10. Increased support sot swarthy Ortiz of New York and Puerto Rico caused the switch. The 12-rounder is a return bout. Lane, 27, won a majority 10-round decision over Ortiz, 22, at Miajni Beach last Dec. 31. That was before Lane’s manager, Slick Jack (Doc) Kearns, dreamed up the idea of resurrecting the 140pound crown—for publicity and more loot. At Miami Beach, Lane’s strong finish earned him the vote of two officials, 98-95 and 97-96. But the third official scored it even, 9696. At Miami Beach they fought as lightweight (135-pound) contanders and their purses were only 34,000 each plus a percentage of the gate. But tonight Lane gets 33 1-3 per cent of a $30,000 TV fee, plus a gate percentage. Ortiz receives 20 per cent of the same, which proves that a title—even if synthetic—has value, when properly ballyhooed.
