Hodges Boosts Dodgers Back To 2nd Place By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Gil Hodges is bashing that ball again, and this is one “nice guy” who could make the Los Angeles finish first. With husky Hodges out of the regular lineup from July 23 to Aug. 23 with a severe ankle sprain, the Dodgers dropped from 1% games back of league-leading San Francisco to 4% games behind. But the onetime hero of Brooklyn is back now, and the Dodgers are starting to move upward. Hodges stole the show even from strikeout pitcher Sandy Koufax Monday night when he drove th five runs to lead the Dodgers to an M win over the Philadelphia Phils. It was a mighty' big win ’ for the Bums, because it snapped a three-game losing streak that had imperiled their pennant hopes, it boosted them into second plate . ahead of the Milwaukee Braves; and it moved them within 3% : games -of the Giants. Friend Blanks (Manta The stage was set for Los Angeles to move up when Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the Giants, 6-0, on 12 hits and Zdunff'Bob Anderson of the Chicago Cubs blanked the Braves, 3- cm six hits in the only other games played in the National League Monday. In the only American League games, the Chicago White Sox boosted their league lead over idle Cleveland to two games by beating the New York Yankees, 4- and the Baltimore Orioles crushed Detroit, 11-0. Hodges started the Dodgers on the road to victory when his bases-loaded single highlighted a four-run rally in the first inning against rookie Ed Keegan. He clinched the game in the second when he clouted a three-run homer, his 20th. also off Keegan. Lefty Koufax fanned 13 Phillies in gaining the win. Eleven Dodgers also whiffed and that tied another record — the major league mark of 24 strikeouts by two teams in a nine-inning game. Outduels Burdette Friend fanned eight batters in beating tha^Giants— nailing “pheeWflne - McCovey ■ three times, once with the bases load-' ed in the ninth. Rocky Nelson slammed two homers and a single to lead the Pirates’ 13-hit attack. with starter Sam Jernes of the Giants suffering the loss. Anderson outdueled Lew Burdette to beat the Braves. George Altman scored the Cubs' first run in the first on Johnny Logan's error, Tony Taylor homered in the third, and Altman drove in the final run in the eighth with a single. Jim Landis led the White Sox to victory with three singles, driving in two runs and scoring a third. The win, creditedto starter Bay Moore, gave the Sox a season edge over the Yankees for the first time in 34 years. Turk Lown pitched shutout relief for 3 1-3 innings to save the win. Big Gus Triandos of the Orioles staged the day’s biggest hitting spree, though. He drove in seven runs against Detroit with a grand-slam homer, a two-rup ‘ homer, and two singles.

Junior High Grid . Candidates Report For Opening Drills Sixty-one junior high football drills Monday afternoon at Worthcandidates turned out for opening man field as a slow pace was set, preparing the seventh and eighth graders for the coming football season of intra-squad and interscholastic games. Sessions will continue all week, starting; 4:30 p.m. A full round of calisthenics opened the first drills, followed by passing and receiving drills. The main task of the volunteer assistants was to determine as quickly as possible what candidates can fill what positions. The large group was broken into two separate squads, the Colts andi the Rams, for the individual drills and instruction. The hour-long practice closed with the line and backs receiving basic fundamentals. The line was taught the proper stance, the purpose of blocking and tackling, and the benefit of good physical condition. The backs participated in drills designed to teach them how to hold the ball when runnjng, and how to take hand-offs. National League W. L. Pct. G.B.

Only 33 Football Hopefuls At Drill Decatur football coach Bob Worthman looked over the sparse turnout of football recruits at Manday’s two sesions, and glumly said, “Only 33 of 77 showed up this morning. I guess that some of them just don’t like the game of football, or they're afraid of a little hard work.” The 33 participants of the morning drills worked hard to make up for the lack of numbers, but it was just one of those days when everything seemed, to go wrong. The offense sputtered, coughed, sputtered again, and finally died. Tackling was far from crisp and blocking was almost negligible. Worthfnan, in summing up, said, “Maybe it’s a good thing the rest of them didn’t show up — it might have been doubly worse. At least these 33 are trying.” Warthman did not blame the heat and humidity for the dismal showing, but honestly seemed puzzled why 77 boys would come out one day, and then a week later find the sledding to rough as to slack off. nearly completely. Two-a-day drills will continue the remainder of the week to get a semblance of teamwork in working order for the Huntington jamboree, which takes place Sept. 1 at the Huntington field. | Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK <UPI) — Carmen Basilio and Gene Fußmer, the two young bulls who battle for the middleweight title at San Francisco Friday night, have much in common. —Both started boxing at the tender age of eight. —Each have similar slugging styles. —Each won and lost right back to Ray Robinson the now vacated title. —Both are happily married “home folks” who dote on their children. —Each is an ardent hunter and fisherman. —Both are breeders. But there the similarity ends. For while Fullmer raises mink, Basilio breeds hunting dogs. It is, in away, the story of the fight. Because come Friday the feeling in this corner is that it’s'going to be a bad night for the mink market and Fullmer well may feel like a future lady’s furpiece harried by Basilio's beagle pack. Friendly Enemies ’’ BasiMtf and Fullmer are friendly “enemies.” Each is highly complimentary of the other's courage and roughhouse ability. And this mutual admiration may be the reason why, although each lost the last duke to Robinson, both men voice the belief that this will be their toughest fight. “I made just one mistake against Robinson the second time,” Fullmer said today by telephone from San Ftancisco. “I let him hit me on the chin. It was the biggest error I ever made because anybody can knockyou out with one shot if it lands just right.” Basilio, Fullmer contended, is not a one-punch stopper. “But he’ll be rougher than Robinson because he fights three minutes of every round while you have to chase Robinson for two and one-half minutes of every round,” claimed the 28-year-old Mormon mauler from West Jordan, Utah. Fullmer, who was named after Gfene Tunjjey and idolizes Jack Dempsey, began boxing at eight while watching amateurs train in an oki garage. At that age he stood on a table to punch the bag and shortly thereafter was boxing at "smokers.” Football Too Rough “I played basketball and football in high school,” he said, “but they were too rough.” So he devoted full time to boxing and won a number of amateur titles before turning professional. He had won 17 straight before entering the Army and serving 12 months of a two-year hitch in Korea. Basilio’s story is much the same. Built along the same rugged lines, Carmen also came up through the amateurs, enlisted in the Marines at 17 and spent 24 months on Guam and at Pearl Harbor. Basilio has an edge in professional experience, at 32 having had 74 bouts of which he won 54, and lost 13 and kayoed 2T.FuUmer in 53 bouts has won 49, lost tour and flattened 21 rivals. But the odds-makers have made Carmien an 8 to 5 choice in this one and from here it sounds like a solid numerical proposition. The Uttie; onion farmer qan take a tremendoiiS amount- of punishment and you have "to go with a beagle against a mink any day and twice on Friday. . ■ .* --- In 1900 when the population of the U.S. was 76.1 million, there were nearly 31 million children under thje 1 age of 18 and a newborn baby had a life expectancy of 49 years. Today, there are more than 61 million children in the country under the age ofj-18 out of 6 population of 175 million and the life' .expectancy is .70 years;

Predicts U.S. Will Dominate Pan Am Games CHICAGO (UPI) — The man who will direct the destiny of the United States in the 1960 summer Olympic games in Rome predicted today the U.S. will win a minimum of 11 of the 27 team titles in the Pan American Games opening Thursday. “That should give us tremendous impetus toward the games at Rome,” said Kenneth L (Tug) Wilson, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee. He added that he wasn't counting the U.S. completely out of the other 15 team titles to be decided here. “All of the competing countries figure their teams are vastly improved over what they had at Mexico City in the last Pan American Games,” Wilson continued. “But from talking to our coaches and other officials I’m confident that this is one of the strongest squads we ever have put together for international competition." Wilson, basing his predictions from what U.S. coaches have told him, figured the U.S. would win both men’s and women’s track and field, both men’s and women’s basketball, yachting, boxing, baseball, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s gymnastics. Other nations are favored or cofavored with the U.S. in soccer, equestrian, both men’s and women’s fencing, water polo, yachting, rowing, shooting modern penthatlon, wrestling, women’s volley bal, Icycing, men and women’s gymnastics and skeet. However, Wilson believes the U.S. could upset the dope in rowing, yachting, and wrestling among others. “After watching them workout and viewing their records, this is fiM Strongest men’s track team that’s ever been put together by anybody at any place,” Wilson declared. “I’d have to say that a large percentage of this team will be on our 1960 Olympic squad.” He anticipated “perhaps a little trouble from Venezuela and British West Indies in the relay races, but that’s all.” “Fred Schaus, our basketball coach, says this is the best basketball team we’ve ever fielded in international competition,” Wilson went on. “It has good team size.” > At various times during the history of the United States, the Federal government acquired and held title to 1,837,762,560 acres of land,,in the continental U.S. and Alaska.
