Despite Los 4-2 defea at the hands of San Francisco Sunday, the Dodgers retained the kad because Cincinnati had to be satisfied with a split against Chi cago. After Sam Jones ran into a wild streak in the seventh inning, the once more called on Stu er, who stopped the Dodgers the rest of the way.

Spahn lost a chance for his 53rd big league shutout when he uncorked a wild pitch that let in a run in the fourth inning. Home runs by Lee Maye and Frank Boiling accounted for five of the Braves' runs off Bob Gibson.

Thirty-six hole competitions at seven sites today and six more Tuesday will fill the last 129 places in the tournament proper, which will be played June 15-17 at the rugged Oakland Hills Country Club course in Birmingham, a swanky suburb of Detroit.

The fortunate 129 will join 21 exempt stars, headed by defending champion Arnold Palmer and Masters champ Gary Player, in the select field of 150 who will battle for the Open crown next week. The 49-year-old Snead, four times a National Open runner-up but never the champion in the tournament he's long considered his nemesis, will be among 32 pros and 16 amateurs competing for 11 berths in the Detroit sectional Tuesday.

Jack Baldschun, a relief pitcher with Columbia, S. last season, is the only rookie pitcher with the Phillies. Indians Push Tigers For Lead; Bosox Rap Orioles By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Cleveland is making a big move in the American League race by winning 18 of its last 22 games but it can't match the home run boom of the front-running Detroit Tigers.

The secret of Detroit's ability can be read in the Sunday box scores. The Tigers' eight home runs were hit by eight different men. Sure, the big men hit a few. Rocky Colavito got No. 15, Norm Cash No.

12, and Dick Brown No. 9. But the list also included A Mike Roarke, Jake Wood and Billy Bruton. LEAD IN HOMERS The Tigers now lead the league in home runs with a total of 61, a statistic that is almost as startling as their long tenure in first place. Detroit took two falls out of the groggy Minnesota Twins Sunday 10-4 and 9-3.

The Twins now have lost nine in a row and 14 of their last 15. Cleveland continued to streak along on the trail of the Tigers by sweeping two from the Los Angeles Angels, who can't seem to do much when they get out of Wrigley Field. The Indians won 5-3 and 8-4. STAFFORD GOES ROUTE New York finally found a pitcher besides Whitey Ford who could go the route in Bill Stafford. He proceeded to hold Chicago to seven hits while the White Sox chipped in with five errors, easing the Yanks' way to a 10-1 romp.

Boston beat Baltimore 6-5 on Joe Ginsberg's pinch two-run single in the last of the ninth. It was Ginsberg's first hit of the year. Jim Archer, who escaped from the Kansas City bullpen on the suggestion of owner Charlie Finley, went all the way to top Washington 8-5 although he gave up 15 hits, five in the ninth. 3 HR'S IN 8TH The Tigers rally exploded the power to back up Frank Lary en route to his eighth victory in the opener. Brown, Wood and Fernandez hit their homers in the eighth inning.

Bob Bruce gave way to Paul Foytack, the eventual winner, in the second game of a doubleheader played before 32,761 at Detroit. John Romano continued his streak, hitting safely in his 18th and 19th games in Cleveland's sweep over the Angels. Jim Perry needed help from Bob Allen and Frank Funk in the first. Wynn Hawkins, all of whose five victories have come on Sunday, gotj a hand from Bobby Locke in the late innings of the second. The Yanks got four runs off Billy Pierce in the first inning on three walks, an error by Luis Aparicio and a three-run double by Elston Howard.

Later, Roger Maris hit his 15th homer. Ginsberg, winning hit in Boston off Hoyt Wilhelm came after the Rea Sox had failed three times to bring home the tying run from third base. Jim Gentile hit No. 14 for the Orioles. Kansas City climbed past Washington into fifth place on Archer's victory.

(AP)--The State Fish Commission is planning to appoint a czar to administer boating regulations in the Commonwealth. Commissioners told 40 sportsmen Sunday they were looking for someone to fill the post but they didn't say what his salary would be.

The appointment's official title will be assistant executive director in charge of boating. The commission's plans were outlined at the first in a series of public sessions it plans from time to time to outline its program to sportsmen's groups. Attending were representatives of the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, Pennsylvania Pleasure Boat Association, commission officials and several state legislators. CRITICIZED BILL Spokesmen for the a i group criticized a commission-endorsed House bill which would tailor the state's boating regulations so that they conformed to the federal Bonner Boating Act. Among other things, the legislation would retain enforcement of boating laws in the commission.

The Boating Association is backing a Senate bill to transfer enforcement authority to the Development of Forests and Waters. Fairfield Pony League Both of the scheduled games in the Fairfield Pony League were rained out on Saturday. The Mummasburg-Amvets game was re-scheduled for tonight at Fairfield. No date has been set for the FairfieH-Cashtown game. On Thursday the Amvets will play at Cashtown while Mummasburg is at Fairfield.
