Ini the 12 games Thiel has scored 28 points. In nine of the 12 the Tomcats were shutout. Carnegie Tech has run up a total of 465 on the flcoreboard. So, that's another big one for this Tomcats of 1858. They have a string of 12 defeats to make up for in one contest.

Major shortcomings in the Tech lineup at present are indicated at end and quarterback. All three of last year's top tackles are back and tine guard from 1957 has returned. The first four halfbacks are also still around to give Tech solid running game. There will also be a letterman at fullback. 4 This month's issue of Pa'thlete ii as always an interesting one.

It gftes a' run down, on coaching changes in the state's high schools. Ttiere are always one or two familiar names on the list. 'Walt Strosser, former Greenville lad, is back In coaching after a ytaVc absence doing TV work. Walt, formerly associated with has moved 1 into basket- bUi at Brie Tech. He'll also handle ems country.

JJohnRimmey, a cousin otGreen- vllle High School's Mike Rlmmey, has a new job'thta season. John, who cut a' wide swath through Class circles at Fairview, has taken over the Kittanning basketball post. At least one Mercer County Coach sought the same job.

That 'allows schools two seasons to adjust their schedules to meet the new requirements. Actually' it will not effect too Mercer County schools.

Sharpsville may drop to Class B. However, Sharpsville win more than likely continue to play Class A schedules. "'Commodore Perry and Fredonla wHl fan into Class' even as now.

Phone 2066 PITTSBURGH Manager Fred Hanoy of the league-leading Milwaukee Braves was saying before the start of Sunday's doubleheader how the Pittsburgh Pirates had matured. "They're grown up," Haney said. "They're experienced and all the better for it.

It used to be, they'd play the other club even for a spell and then they'd make a mistake somewhere along the line to give the game away. They do that very little now." Ironically enough, the Pirates made a mistake in the first game that opened the door for a 3-1 Milwaukee victory. The Pirates took the nightcap 4-1 to capture three of the four games in the weekend series. With the score tied 1-1 in the eighth inning of the opener, Johnny Logan singled with one out. Eddie Mathews walked.

Hank Aaron singled to right, but Roberto Clemcnte threw out Logan who tried to score. Then Wes Covington lifted a foul back of the plate that would have been the third out. The wind blexv the ball halfway down the first base line. Catcher Hank Folles and first baseman Dick Stuart both went it. They apparently got their signals mixed and the ball fell boul between them.

With another opportunity, Covington, who had driven in the in the first Brave run In the first with a single, doubled in runs that proved the margin of victory. Warren Spahn held the Pirates to. five hits in gaining his 19th victory against' 10 losses. Tough- luck pitcher Ron Kline suffered' his 14th defeat compared to 12 triumphs. In the nightcap, Bob Skinner drove in three runs with his 12th homer of the year and a single.

Vernoh Law, with the help from Roy Face who choked off a ninth- inning Brave rally, picked up his 12th victory. He has lost 11. 'The split enabled the Braves to maintain their game lead. However, the second-place Pirates gained a full game on San Francisco, which lost a doubleheader to Chicago. Pittsburgh now Is two games ahead of the third- place Giants.

The red-hot Cincinnati Redlegs, who have won 12 of their last 14 games, meet the Pirates here tonight in a playoff of last Thursday night's rained out game. Aerials Sink Baltimore as Sf eelers Win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Maybe the Baltimore Colts are playing possum in their exhibition schedule but they aren't making the experts look good who picked them as a championship contender in the National Football League this year. The Colts, who finished third in 1957 and were eliminated from the Western' Division title the next to last Sunday, lost their third game Saturday. They have one tie, and no victories. Pittsburgh did them in this time, 13-10 on a second period passing splurge.

Washington edged Philadelphia 35-31, Green Bay romped over New York 41-20 and the Chicago Cards defeated Los Angeles 27-26 in other Saturday action. In tho only Sunday game, San Francisco defeated Cleveland The Steelers' Earl a 11 tossed two touchdown passes in the second period, one to Ray Mathews the other to Leon Jamison to nullify scoring efforts by Ray Berry, on a John Unitas aerial, and Steve Myhra's field goal.

Althea Gibson may or may not return to tennis, but one thing was certain had taken her place among the all-time women's greats of the game. That's just what she wanted. Since the tall New York Negro ascended the throne as queen of all she surveyed, there have been whisperings that she left something to be desired. Among the accusations was that she wilted when the going got tough. It couldn't have been any tougher Sunday when she came back to win.

the national championship for the second straight year by defeating Darlene Hard of Moiitobello, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2. She couldn't do a thing right in the first set. But she wound up crushing the plump blond Pomona College freshman. She is the first player to win at both Wimbledon and Forest Hjllls since Maureen Connolly turned the trick in 1952-53. Ashley Cooper won the.

men's title whipped his Australian Davis Cup teammate Mai 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 10-8, 8-6. Coop had a rough time and was down P-4 in the 10th game of the final set on Anderson's service. But he broke at love, then went ahead. In the 12th game, he took a spill and twisted his ankle. For a few minutes he thought he might have to default.

But he kept going and won it. That reversed last year's result. "I'm tired," said the 31-year- old Miss Gibson, "really tired. I won't play any more competitive tennis for another year." She said she would concentrate on her singing career. She also scoffed at reports she was in hot water with the U.S.

Lawn Tennis Assn. on the question of her amateur standings. "It's absolutely ridiculous," she said. "Why, everything I do is cleared in writing with the USLTA before I do it." Eddie O'Brien to Give Up Baseball PITTSBURGH (AP) Eddie O'Brien, a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates' farm club at Salt Lake City, is retiring to become baseball coach and athletic director of his alma mater, Seattle University. He notified the Pirates of i retirement on Saturday.

O'Brien and his twin brother, Johnny, were signed to bonus contracts with the Pirates in 1953. Johnny was traded to St. Louis earlier this year.

Main Street Phone 1676 Ramos Nears Nixon's Goal of 17 Victories By ED WILKS Associated Frew Sports Writer The veep should have spoken up a bit sooner. It wasn't until August 19 that Vice President Nixon, taking in a ball game at Washington, told Pete Ramos "I expect you to win 17 games." "But I've only won 11 and I've never won more than 12," said the Senators' slim right-hander. "And there's not much of the season "I know you can do it," answered the veep. Ramos said he'd try. Try Well, the kid from Cuba has won three of five since and has pitched successive shutouts against the New York Yankees, en route to their 24th American League Stifles Yanks Ramos extended his scoreless string against the champs to 22 1-3 innings Sunday, giving Washington its first 1-0 victory in five years, before the Yankees made one of their infrequent of late shows of strength by winning the nightcap 7-0 on Duke Maas' four- hitter.

The split gave the Yankees a final 12-10 standing against the last place, Nats. Cleveland dumped second place Chicago 4-3, Boston beat Baltimore 6-5 in 10 innings and Kansas City-rapped Detroit 3-2. A two-run pinch double by Bobby Avila won for the Indians against Dick Donovan (-12-13) in the eighth. Ray Boone hit a two- run homer for the White Sox, who were blanked over the last seven innings by Don Ferrarese, winner Ray Nnrleski (12-10 )and Morrie Martin. A's Rally Red Sox Dave Sisler (8-8) was the winner with Milt Pappas (99) the loser, both in relief.

The A's were shut out by Frank Lary (14-14) on four hits until the ninth. Then a walk, singles by Bob Cerv and Preston Ward, a fielder's choice and Bill Tuttle's single got the job done. Ray Herbert (67) was the winner, with Ned Garver's hitless mop up in the ninth. The Tigers had only four hits, one Red Wilson's two-run homer in the eighth. German Runs 100-Meter in Record Time LINDAU, Germany 100 meters finally have been run in 10 seconds.

That's like a four- minute mile. But there is some doubt if it'll get official recognition as a world record. Armin Hary, a 21-year-old West German precision machinist hit the 10 second figure Saturday at Friednchshafen as he clipped one-fifth second off the listed world record set by American Willie Williams at Berlin Aug. 3, 1956 and tied on the same track the following day by another did it again Aug. 5.

An unofficial measurement of the Friedrichshafen track showed it sloped slightly more than permitted under international track regulations. An official sui-vey was to be made today. Two timekeepers clocked Hary in 9.9 and a third in 10 flat. They also are to be officially checked.

This weekend they begin picking up the marbles. A number of games are scheduled for Friday and Saturday but, with few exceptions, they'll be the traditional warmups for the important conference games starting later. This is the way the 1958 campaign looks to sportswriters around the Commonwealth: In the west: The WPIAL Double-A race will be the usual wide-open brawl with the exception that defending champion Wilkinsburg is not rated a contender this year. The race shapen up as a battle among Mt. Lebanon, Johnstown, Uniontown, Baldwin, Charleroi, and Clairton with Har-Brack much improved, Jeannette on the way back after an off-season, and Sharon and Farrell dark hose contenders.

Braddock, unbeaten in 36 is the team the contenders will have to beat out for Class A honors, but Braddock may have lost too many veterans to repeat. In that case, the champion should emerge from among Scott Township, Carnegie, Leechburg, Glassport, Canonsburg and Beaver. In Pittsburgh, Westinghouse is favored to win for the fifth straight year. It hasn't lost a league game since 1953. In Section II of District 10, Corry is back with a strong team this year and defending co-champion Meadville also looks tough.

Titusville, co-champion last year, appears to be out of it. Cathedral Prep looks strong again among Erie City schools.
