Dodgers Shade Giants Monday i To Trim Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International * The Dodgers are looking to 5 Iquse up the Giants again and this time they have two of the - strongest motives in the world—- > money and revenge. Like all ball players, the Dodgers can count and most of them already have done some mental ' arithmetic as to how much a single share would come ot if the ' World Series is played in Los Angeles’ mammoth Coliseum this • fall. There’s little question that a World Series involving the Dodgers would set an all-time record for players’ share, eclipsing the current mark established during the 1954 World Series between the Giants and Indians in which a winning share came to $11,147.90 and a losing share was worth $6,712.50. Matter of Revenge Then there’s a little matter of , revenge, too. Last year, the ; Giants contributed most to the ’ Dodgers’ sorry seventh-place fin- ’ ish by beating them 16 out of 22 ’ times. This year, though, things ’ are a bit diferent. The Dodgers scored their eighth victory in 15 games with the s Giants so far when they defeated : them, 3-2, Monday to climb within i|l% games of the pace-setting San I Franciscans. The Cardinals blanked the t Cubs, 2-0, in the only other Na- - tional League game scheduled. . All teams in the American League were idle. ’ Charley Neal settled matters in the Dodgers-Giants game when . he led off the ninth inning with his 12th homer of the season after J southpaw Johnny Antonelli had ’ retired 21 straight batters. Drysdale Wins 12th I Don Drysdale yielded only four f hits — the same number as Ant tonelli — in posting his 12th vic- . tory against six losses. The big Los Angeles right-hander also , struck out seven to increase his ’ major league-leading total to 154. ! Rookie Ernie Broglio pitched St. r Louis into a fifth-place tie with : Chicago by shutting out the Cubs ■ on nine hits. Broglio struck out ’ seven men and * walked only two while registering his fourth victory and the fourth in a row for the upcoming Cardinals. I Glen Hobbie, who lost his eighth game against 10 victories, held the ■ their runs on an error by Tony Taylor and successive singles by . Bill White, Ken Boyer and Gino Cimoli. i Club House Chatter City League W L Steffen —- 10% 4% Decatur Industries — —B% 614 Vigortones - 8 7 Yetters -- 5 10 Smith Insurance 5 10 G. E.

Harold Gomes Wins Junior Welter Title EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI) — “I just had more eagerness than Jorgensen.’ That was the way 25-year-old Harold Gomes of Providence explained his phenomenal victory over Paul Jorgensen of Port Arthur, Tex., Monday night in winning the world’s junior lightweight championship. Gomes, who was decked four times by the 24-year-old Jorgensen, was declared the winner by unanimous decision after a rough and tough brawl in which Jorgensen was cautioned repeatedly for throwing low blows. “I’ll meet him anywhere,” said Gomes in his dressing room after the 15-round bout at Pierce Memorial Stadium. “And as far as those three knockdowns in the 11th round go, I think rify Head was pretty clear. As soon as I , came back to my corner, I was ok.” Gomes, who forced the fight throughout, with good use of a right-left combination, had beaten Jorgensen previously at Miami, Fla. He termed the battle “the fight of all fights.” He also glossed over his knockdown in the 15th round, saying that “I Wanted to knock Jorgensen out.” Jorgensen said that he “never was tired but I ran out of gas in the 11th,” the round in which he decked Gomes three times for eight counts. He said he thought he “had Gomes in the 11th, but I guess he was much faster than me tonight.” He said he’d "like to try Gomes in Texas.” The highly partisan crowd of 3,437 witnessed its first championship bout in Rhode Island since 1943. The fight marked the renewal of activity in the junior lightweight class. AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Eastern Division W. L. Pct. G.B.

Australia's Davis Cuppers Defeat Mexico MEXICO CITY (UPl)—Victory over Mexico means that Australia has a “good chance to recover tile Davis Cup,” non-playing captain Harry Hopman of the Aussies said todav. Australia, starting its drive to regain the cup it lost to the United States last December, wrapped up a 4-1 riuniph over > Mexico in the first round of American Zone eliminations Monday on a pair of five - set singles wins by Rod Laver ' and Roy Emerson. , The red-haired Laver, surprise finalist at Wimbledon this year, supplied the clincher for the Aussies but had to come from behind to notch a 6-3, 6-8, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 victory over Mexican champion Antonio Palafox. That gave the Aussies an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the best-of-five series so Emerson, making his singles debut in cup play, was given the final singles assignment intead of southpaw acej Neale Fraser. Emerson made j good by downing Mexican veteran Mario Llamas, 6-4, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-0. “I said before that Mexico was our big obstacle,” said Hopman, guiding genius of Aussie cup teams for many years. “Now that they have been eliminated, I believe we have a good chance to recover the Davis Cup.” The first - round win qualified Australia to meet Canada in the second round. The Aussies must play their way through a series of eliminations to earn the right to challenge the United States for ; the cup this fall.
