The Yankees won the first game, 5 to 4, in 11 innings. The double triumph, which took six hours and 45 minutes, not only evened the four-game series at two victories apiece but reduced the Tigers' first place margin over the Yankees to games. Jim Coates, working in relief, was the winning pitcher in each game.

YOGI BERRA'S pinch single with two out and the bases full in the eleventh produced the winning run in the opener. A crowd of 40,968, largest of the year at Yankee Stadium, envisioned an a victory in the opener for Whitey Ford, who went into the ninth leading 4 to 1. Detroit, however, scored three runs to tie the score and force it into extra innings. The Tigers gave the Yankees a battle in the second game, too, before dropping their first doubleheader of the season. Bunning lasted just two innings.

Before' he was relieved by Bill Fischer in the third, he had yielded eight hits and seven runs. Bobby Richardson greeted him with a single in the first inning. Before Bunning could get the first out, Tony Kubek, Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Berra and Bill Skowron had singled in rapid succession four runs. Pitcher Ralph Terry's two-out single provided the fifth. DETROIT scored twice in the second on homers by Hockey Colavito, his eighth, and Dick Brown, his sixth.

The Yankees got those runs back in their half of the inning on a couple of walks, a wild pitch, an error and Berras bloop single. The Tigers made it close, scoring three runs in the fifth on a triple by Jake Wood, a single by Bill Bruton and Charley Maxwells homer. Maxwell later tripled and scored the Tigers' last run. The Yankees apparently had Inflicted the first loss of the season upon Don Mossi, a four- game winner, when Bob Cerv and Skowron clipped him for two-run homers in' the first game to give Ford his 4 to 1 lead. Whitey left in favor of Tex Clevenger after Al had opened the ninth with a triple.

Clevenger disposed of the first two batters but he walked the next two and pinch hitter Larry Osborne cracked a two- run double to tie the score. In the eleventh, with Hank Aguirre on the mound for the Tigers, Mantle singled, one of his five hits during the long afternoon and the bases filled with two out on a walk and an infield hit to set the stage for Berra's game-winning hit. CLEVELAND cooled off Baltimore by beating the Orioles twice yesterday in Cleveland, 1 1o 0 in 15 innings, and 6 tq 4, in the nightcap. The opener, the longest contest in the majors this season, was decided on a throwing error by shortstop Jerry Adair as Jim Perry and Frank Funk combined for the shutout. The Indians rallied to win the nightcap on the power-hitting'of Willie Kirkland, who blasted his first American League homer, a three-run shot that broke a 3 to 3 tie in the seventh inning.

Kirkland drove in four runs. The Orioles, who had won 11 of 15 prior to today, were blanked for 21 innings by Cleveland pitching. But then they broke loose for three runs on four hits, highlighted by Dick Williams' home run leading off the sixth inning. THE FIRST GAME was a tough loss for Baltimore especially the way it ended.

Sanders stole Arnold Palmer's thunder as a clutch finisher today when he banged birdies on the tenth and eleventh holes to come from behind and win the $40,000 Colonial National Invitation golf tournament.

The youthful Georgian had a closing par 70 that gave him 281 for 72 holes and first money of $7,000. Gene Littler, who led the tournament going into the last nine holes, and Palmer, failing to make a whirlwind close-out for which he has become noted, shattered their hopes along a bogey trail. Kel Nagle, the British Open champion, came from far back with a 67 to take second place money with 282. -r LITTLER WAS ahead by a stroke- over. Sanders, Palmer and Billy Casper as he moved into the Einal nine holes.

He took a double bogey on 10 when his tee shot was in a lake and that sealed his doom. Sanders birdied 10 with a Moot putt while Palmer and Casper were even par, and Sanders was ahead by a stroke over Palmer and Casper. Then Sanders birdied 11 with a 4-foot putt take a two-stroke lead as Littler and Casper were par and Palmer, took a bogey. Sanders then paired in to 17 where he took a bogey when he was in a trap, but he parred 18 win. Sanders, 27-year-old former Florida University player, said his short back swing was what helped him over the humps today.

"It enabled me to hit the ball low and the wind didn't bother me so much," he explained. THE HANDSOME native of Ce- deartown, who plays out of Ojai, has been on the tour four years and won four tournaments, this being his second this year. He took first money, at New Orleans and lost a playoff to Palmer for the Phoenix Open title. He has been in the money 14 of 17 tournaments played this year, taking down $29,000. Nagle hadn't been noticed until he finished with his fine round.

The Australian, who tied the tournament record with a 5- under-par 65 in the first round. THE VICTORY went to Jim Duffalo, the third Giant pitcher, and brought his record to 3-0. Piche, fourth Milwaukee hurler, took the loss and now is 1-2. After Cepeda got on base jn the ninth, Felipe Alou sacrificed him to second. Ed Bailey was walked intentionally.

But Piche, who came on to pitch in the ninth, then walked Jose Pagan and then Matty Alou. The Giants jumped in front on Cepeda's three-run homer in the first. The blast, Cepeda's seventh of the season, scored Jim Davenport and Willie Mays. THE BRAVES scored two in the third on Ed Mathews' fourth homer of the year. It scored Frank Boiling ahead of him.

It was Mathews' third homer in three games here and he now has a 13-game hitting streak. A Mothers Day crowd of 34,239 saw the Giants open their margin to 5-2 on Davenport's two-run homer in the fourth. It was Jim's second of the year and scored Pagan, on base with the first of his three singles. The Braves chased Giant starter Billy Loes with four runs in the fifth. Mayes singles, Mathews walked, Hank Arron singled and Joe Adcock smashed a double.

THAT BROUGHT in Bob Bolin. Mays robbed Frank Thomas with a sensational one-handed catch at the right centerfield fence. But Ed Bailey's passed ball and Bolin's wild pitch scored Adcock with the Braves' go-ahead run before Bolin struck out Roy McMillan. The Giants finally knocked Carl Willey off the mound in the sixth when Bailey and Pagan opened with singles. Harvey Kuenn tied the game at 6-6 with a pinch single off Ken Mackenzie and Charley Hiller drove in Pagan with, a bloop single over shortstop.

It was just the third run batted in of the season for Harry and came off Moe Drabowski.

THE CHICAGO CUBS, trailing 5 to 0, in the early going, finally took command on an eleventh- inning single by Ron Santo and pulled out of an eight-game losing streak by defeating Los Angeles, 10 to 8, yesterday at Los Angeles. The defeat broke the Dodgers' winning streak at six games and dropped them a full game behind the league-leading San Francisco Giants.

The Wolves, who hadn't been figured to go anywhere at the start of the season, proved Saturday that their string of victories was no accident by winning two from Northwestern, 7-2 and 6-3, to run Michigan's season mark to 8-1. Three Michigan pitchers limited the Wildcats to a total of 11 hits in two games. Sophomore Bill Freeman of the Wolverines collected three hits in six trips but saw his conference-leading batting mark dip to .533.

The first of the Illini victories over the Gophers was almost a single-handed performance by pitcher Ernie Kumerow, who held Minnesota to four hits, struck out nine, batted in all Illinois runs and hit three homers.

Two of the Illini runs in the second tilt came when starting pitcher Ron Johnson homered with a mate aboard. In other games Saturday, Purdue divided a doubleheader with Iowa, winning the first, 19-8, and losing to the Hawkeyes in the nightcap, 10-6.

Preakness Colts Reported Sound Crozier, Globemaster Pass Medical Tests BY GEORGE BOWEN BALTIMORE, May 14. The outlook for Saturday's $150,000 Added Preakness was pepped up today by good -medical reports on ailing Crozier and Globe- master.

Both of the 3-year-old colts were pronounced recovered and ready by veternarian George Palmer to pick up their training for the eighty-fifth running of the Preakness. Globemaster, the $80,000 mahogany beauty owned by Leonard P. Sasso, was put to the test immediately and passed. He galloped for lYt miles without showing a sign of any suffering in the right hind joint that popped out of place yesterday in his stall. "HE DIDN'T bobble once," reported William White, the exercise rider.

Palmer explained that while the popped joint is spectacular it is common and rarely serious. He' also looked in on the patient Crozier and him better after an upset stomach. Trainer Chuck Parke gave Fred W. Hooper's colt the day off, however, and will give him a stiff run' tomorrow. While the sick scare was being dispelled, Trainer Jack Price of Carry Back stewed over the absence of his regular exercise rider.

He finally obtained Bernie Everson, former workout rider for Native Dancer, whose only defeat was in the Kentucky Derby which Carry Back won May 6. EVERSON galloped Carry Back, owned by Price's wife, for miles through muddy goo. "He was blowing a little and I'll give him a real run for 1V4 miles tomorrow," said Price. The return to health by Globe- master and Crozier restored the bulk of the leading Derby cast as prospective starters in the mile and three-sixteenths. Preakness chase.

Crozier was runner-up to Carry Back and Globemaster sixth after leading early. Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs' Dr. Miller, the fourth Derby money winner, had a competitive, workout in the Preakness prep Saturday.

He was lengths ahead of W. T. Leatherburys' Might Is Right and in front of Crimson King Farm's Crimson Fury in the three-colt exhibition. Dr. Miller's time of 1:47 for the mile and sixteenth was only fair.

ALSO WAITING at the Preakness is Jacob Sher's Sherluck, fifth in the Derby. And a probable newcomer to the Scramel for three-year-old honors loomed in New York Saturday in the Withers. Hitting Away, owned by Ogden Phipps and trained by Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons, ran away from a field of eleven to win by lengths. The lightly rated Hitting Away, winning for the fourth eight races since starting last August, ran the fastest mile in 86 Withers. He carried Jockey Hedley Woodhouse around in 1:35 Both Phipps and Fitzsimmons said the colt would be in the Preakness if nothing goes wrong with his health.

Ruttman, Four Others Qualify Moss Wins Monaco Event; Brabham Fails to Finish BY PATRICK M'NULTY MONTE CARLO, Monaco, May Moss of Britain whipped his rear-engined Lotus into an early lead today and fought off a strong Ferrari challenge to win the-Grand Prix De Monaco by a scant three seconds. The British driver did 100-lap grind at an average speed of 70.173 miles an "hour. Second was Richie Ginther of Granada Hills, and third was Phil Hill of Santa Monica, both of whom had pushed their red Ferrari's throughout in-close but vain pursuit of Moss. IT WAS THE second consecutive victory for Moss over the twisting 1.49 mile Monaco circuit and put him in the lead as the race for the 1961 world driving championship opened.

World champion Jack Brabham of Australia never really got his Cooper into the race and ran dead last much of the time. Braham abondoned the race late in the day with engine trouble. He had arrived only just before race time after flying from Indianapolis where he qualified for the 500 mile Memorial Day classic. The others who were forced to quit were Graham Hill of Britain in a B. R.

M. Tony Brooks of Britain in a B. R. M. Joachin Bonnier of Sweden in a Porsche, Michael May of Switzerland in a Lotus and John Surtees of Britain in a Cooper.

OF THE 16 veteran drivers who started the Monaco classic only 10 finished the 100-lap grind. In fourth place was West Germany's Wolfgang Von Tripps in a Ferrari. Following in fifth place was Dan Gurney of Riverside, in a Porsche, while Bruce MacLaren of New Zealand in a Cooper Climax came in sixth. Seventh was France's Maurice Trintignant in a Cooper and eighth was Cliff Allison of Britain in a Lotus Climax. In ninth place was Germany's Hans Herrmann in a Porsche and Jim Clark of Britain, whose Lotus was hastily rebuilt after an accident during trials Thursday, was tenth.

THE RACE was the first Grand Prix test with the new 1.5 liter engine which replaced the 2.5 liter formula of last year. It also saw all the cars mounting their engines in the rear for the first time. Ginther, a thirty-year-old veteran making his second appearance at Monte Carlo, gave Moss a tremendous battle in the final laps. On the seventy-fourth lap, Ginther had pushed into second place ahead of Hill. Ginther had sped into the lead early in the.

race only to be overtaken by Moss on the fourteenth lap. The Briton was never again off successive challenges by both Porsche and Ferrari. On the 79th lap Ginther in his vain pursuit of Moss, did the lap See GRAND PRIX On Page 12, Column 2 KELLYS TO HTALL COMPACTS AND MOST IMPORTS Kelly's Low First Cost Tin SAFETRAC Kelly's Popular Price Tire PRESTIGE Kelly's Best the Superlative CELEBRITY CARNEY TIRE COMPANY 16th and Wabash Tour Tire Headqnarters Qnml- Itj-BuUt Kelly Tlrci In Eyery Siie, Typo And Price Banfe For Every Kind Of Car, Inelndlnc Forelin And Compact Models. TO Jack Turner Marks Up Best Time; Wind Discourages Many BY DALE BURGESS INDIANAPOLIS, May 14. Troy Ruttman, youngest winner of the Indianapolis 500- mile race, and 4 other drivers qualified cars today for the May 30 golden anniversary 500 in spite of gusty winds that kept most cars in the garages.

The 31-year-old Ruttman, Dearborn, won the 1952 race. He made today's 10-mile run at an average speed of 144.799 miles an hour. Jack Turner of Seattle, former National Midget car champion, was a little faster at 144.904 hi a new Bardahl Special. Turner had spun out yesterday in a qualifying attempt. Guests of wind up to 25 miles an hour several times jerked Ruttman's Zink Special out of line.

THE FORMER winner, driving Pat Flaherty's 1956 winning car, traveled' over 145' m. p. h. on his first two laps around the track but he dropped off to 144 on the last two. The car has been thoroughly rebuilt since Flaherty, Chicago, won the '56 race.

Ruttman was the third former winner in the field after the first of two weekends of qualifications. Yesterday under better weather conditions, 1959 winner Rodger Ward of Indianapolis qualified at 146.187, and I960 winner Jim Rathmann of Miami, at 145.413. The top speed yesterday. 147.481 by pole position winner Eddie Sachs of Center Valley. was not challenged in today's wind-buffeted running.

There were five mishaps today but nobody was hurt. CHUCK ARNOLD, Stamford, and Don Freeland, Torrance, lost control near the same spot on the southwest turn. Arnold bumped the outer wall but Freeland merely burned off his tires in a long sideways slide. Elmer George of Indianapolis, son-in-law of Speedway owner Tony Hulman, spun on the back straightaway but he was not injured. A broken transmission shaft threw the Paxton Special, formerly the Novi V-8, into a spin on the back stretch but test driver Russ Corigdon, Payallup, also was unhurt.

Another engine exploded in the same car last Thursday while Ralph Liguori of Tampa, was driving it.
