Cards, Yankees Hold Leads At All-Star Break JIM BUNNING Stengel's choice MAJORS TO VOTE ON FRICK ST. LOUIS--4B--Re-election of Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick for seven more years was expected today at the joint meeting of the major leagues. Frick, who receives $65,000 a year as commissioner, was elected for a seven-year term in 1951. His term does not expire until Sept. 21, 1958 but under baseball law the leagues reveal their intent a maximum of 18 months or a minimum of 12 months before his term expires.

Both leagues also will vote on renewal of the major-minor league agreement under which organized baseball operates. The leagues will hold separate meetings in the morning. The National League will reconsider a proposal by Milwaukee to make a vote necessary before a franchise can be moved. Harney Takes Lesson, Nabs Open Prize free lessons Paul Harney, 27-year-old golf professional, received from his father, an amateur, have been worth JIO.OOO within the last two weeks to the Bolton, power hitter. "When I failed to qualify for the U.

S. Open, I went home and consulted my father," said the slim youngster who posted a 72- hole score of 278 yesterday for $3,500 first money in the $29,000 Open Golf Tournament at the Islesmcre Club. "My father's a wonderful putter," he said. "After watching him 1 found out I had been lifting my head too soon after hitting the ball. I concentrated on keeping my head down and my putting picked up." Harney, who won $5,700 first money in the Flint, Open two weeks ago and picked up another $1,000 in the Western Open at Detroit, showed on the 18th green that he learned his lesson well.

With George Bayer of Los Angeles already in the clubhouse with a 279, Harney stood on the 18th tee knowing he needed a par 4 to win. The 140 pounder from New England sent his drive 270 yards down the fairway. But his second caught the edge of the green and left him a "mile long" putt--actually a 35 footer. Harney surveyed the putt for a few minutes, then with his head down he lagged the ball 2 feet past the cup. He sank the short putt, picked up his check and headed for the Canadian Open at Kitchener later in the week.

Bayer won $2,300 as he finished a stroke in front of Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla. Ken Venturi, San Francisco, and Doug Ford, Mahopac, N. tied for fourth with 28i's and collected $1,400 each. SPORTS CALENDAR Bunning, Simmons Named As Starters; Nationals Favored ST. LOUIS--W--Jim Bunning, Detroit righthander, will start for the American League and Curt Simmons, Philadelphia lefthander, for the National League tomorrow in the All-Star baseball game.

Bunning has a 10-2 record and Simmons is 8-6. Manager Casey Stengel of the American League said Billy Loes (9-4) of Baltimore, a former Brooklyn Dodger, probably will be his second pitcher, with left- handers Billy Pierce (12-6) and Bobby Shantz (9-1) of his own New York Yankees ready for later duty. Manager Walter Alston of the favored National League did not SATISFIED Hoad Set To Sign Pro Pact NEW YORK -tan--Wimbledon tennis champion Lew Hoad of Australia arrived in New York by air today and said he felt sure he would sign a professional contract with promoter Jack Kramer today. Head said he was satisfied with LOS ANGELES -UP(--Pancho Gonzales said today he will not play in the professional tennis tournament at Forest Hills, N.Y. next week.

''I prefer to play Lew Hoad in a 'head-to-head' tour for the world's championship," Gonzales added. TONIGHT baseball. Tucson Cowboys vs. Douglas Copper Kings at Hi Corbett Field. Ten Tucson Boys Club matches at Tucson Sports Center.

TOMORROW 8:00 P.M.--Pro baseball. Tucson Cowboys vs. Cananea Mineros at Hi Corbett Field. 8:30 P.M.--Pro wrestling at Tucson Sports Center. Kramer's offer of $125,000 for the first two pro seasons, with options of taking a percentage of the gate receipts instead of the flat sum.

Only some minor details, such as travel expenses, remained to be ironed out ia today's meeting with Kramer. Hoad, accomDanied by his wife, Jennifer, was met at the airport by former amateur champion Ted who represented Kramer. The promoter remained in his hotel. MRS. HOAD SAID she thought it would be thrilling for Lew to become a professional and that she probably would accompany him on the tour.

Hoad's contract with Kramer will include a "warmup" period before the 22-year-old Australian is called upon to face professional champion Pancho Gonzales in a head-to-head series of matches. It will extend until August, 1959. Hoad will be guaranteed $125,000 for this period with the option of taking 20 per cent of the gate receipts with an additional "incentive bonus" of five.per cent for each match he wins. He is scheduled to make his professional debut in Kramer's round-robin Tournament of Champions at Forest Hills, starting next Saturday, and then to play in a similar tournament at Los Angeles beginning July 29. HE LIKELY WILL face Gon- zalcs in these tournaments, but his regular tour with the professional champion will not begin until January.

A "warmup" feature was demanded by Hoad after he had seen how badly Rosewall and other amateur champions had fared in their edrly matches against Gonzales and other seasoned professionals. Told that Gonzales had threatened to remain out of the Forest Hills tournament because he thought a meeting with Hoad there might hurt the gate receipts for their tour, the young Australian merely his shoulders. HE SAID HE had seen Gonzales play only once and' added: "He's a pretty good player." Hoad insisted his decision to turn professional was an overnight impulse after his smashing victory at Wimbledon. He said he remembered talking to Kramer en route from Australia, phoned Saturday and discussed terms with Schroeder and reached his decision. He said he told only the manager of the Australian traveling team, Cliff Sproule.

name his second or third pitchers. Johnny Anto'nelli (7-7) of the New York Giants probably will see early action. THE FORECAST for tomorrow was for mostly sunny skies with the temperature in the 80s. Occasional thundershowers predicted for tonight will probably end tomorrow morning, the weatherman said. The 25-year-old Bunning, from Carrolton, will be appearing in his first All-Star game.

Simmons. 28. beat the Giants July 4 in his last start. Cleanup hitters will be Mickey Mantle of the Yankees for the American League and Willie Mays of the Giants for the'Nationals. The batting order and uniform numbers: AMERICAN-Harvey Kuenn of Detroit, 7, shortstop; Nelson Fox of Chicago, 2, second Al Kaline of Detroit, 9, right field; Mantle, Ted Williams of Boston, 9, left field; Vic Wertz of Cleveland, 23, first base; Yogi Berra of New York, 8, catcher; George Kell of Baltimore, 3, third base; arid Bunning, 14.

NATIONAL--Johnny Temple of Cincinatti, 16, second base; Hank Aaron of Milwaukee, 44, right field; Stan Musial of St. Louis, 6, first base; Mays, 24; Frank Robinson of Cincinnati, 20, left field; Ed Bailey, of Cincinnati, 6, catcher; Don Hoak of Cincinnati, 21, third base; Roy McMillan of Cincinnati, 11, shortstop; and Simmons, 28. Mantle and Mays will play center field for their respective teams. Stengel may pin his hopes on his own Yankees in seeking to end his mid-summer jinx. The grizzled Yankee pilot may have had just that in mind when he selected six members of his own team to the squad to go along with the two Yankee starters picked by the fans.

Casey has a profound respect for the awesome power of the National League, which has defeated Stengel-led teams five times in six games. The odds makers apparently have the same respect for the senior circuit sluggers. They've established them a 6-5 favorite to capture their seventh in the last eight All-Star games. The American League leads in overall games, 13 to 10. A CAPACITY crowd of some 31,000 Busch Stadium fans is assured for the game, which will start at 11:30 a.m.

(Tucson time). Millions more will view it and hear it on NBC radio and television. Sixty per cent of the total receipts is earmarked for the players' pension fund. In the event of rain, the game will be rescheduled for 6 p.m. tomorrow night.

If again postponed, it will be rescheduled for 6:30 a.m. Wednesday and again, for 11:30 apm. the same day. As it was last year, the National League team will be dominated by the Cincinnati Redlegs, who will have five players in the starting lineup. They are second baseman Johnny Temple, Shortstop Roy McMillan, third baseman Don Hoak, left fielder Frank Robinson and catcher Ed Bailey.

Stan Musial, who has played more All-Star games than anyone, will be at first base, in his 14th game. The St. Louis star has hit five home runs and has made 15 hits, both records, in All-Star competition. Hank Aaron of Milwaukee will be in right field and Willie Mays of the Giants will be in center.

Dcvine turned to an untried youngster on the bench and told him "Get in there for Jones and plug that hole." The kid went in and not i. yard was gained over left tackle for the rest of the period. "Great work," Devine told the substitute. "You'd think Jones stayed in there with you." "He did." replied the kid.

According to University of Arizona Football Coach Ed Doherty, his proposed recruiting code would eliminate pressure on high school athletes and their families. The pressure is the rugged task of weighing the advantages pointed out by one school against those of another. Some kids enjoy it.

NL Rejects New Franchise Request ST. LOUIS--lav-National League owners today formally rejected an application by George V. McLaughlin of New York City for a league franchise in Queens. The senior circuit, at its annual mid-summer meeting, heard a lengthy report by Louis F. Carroll, the league's attorney, on the progress of the congressional hearings on sports held in Washington two weeks ago.

In another order of business, the league approved the extension of the Major-National Assn. (minor) agreement for a period of five years. PRESIDENTS WALTER O'Malley of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Horace Stoneham of the New York Giants, in a report to the owners at large, said they had nothing new to add regarding their proposals to move their franchises to Los Angeles and San Francisco, respectively. In a special meeting held in Chicago last May, the National League gave official approval to O'Malley and Stoneham to move their clubs to the West Coast provided they went together. The league's decision to turn down McLaughlin's application for St.

Louis Whips Reds Twice; N. Margin Cut By Sox By Associated Press You can skip the "who's on first" guessing game in National League for mostof this week anyway. It's St. Louis Cardinals by 2 2 games as the majors lead into the All-Star game break with no pennant action scheduled until Wednesday night. a franchise came as a result of re cent correspondence between the former executive of the Brooklyn Dodgers' estate and President Warren Giles of the league.

IN HIS APPLICATION, McLaughlin at first requested a conditional franchise in Queens in the event both the Dodgers and Giants made good their threats to move their clubs out of New York City. Later, in another letter to Giles, McLaughlin, vice president of the Triboro Bridge and Tunnel Authority and former New York City police commissioner, stated he would like a league franchise whether the two clubs moved or not. McLaughlin, during a recent press conference in New York City, disclosed he had applied for the old World's Fair site in Queens for the purpose of building a seat stadium for a team to be known as the New Yorkers. McLaughlin said his group had available 5 million dollars to build the park. He said also his offer of $2,750,000 for the Giants had been rejected by Stoneham.

The American League meeting still was in progress. Althea Goes Home After Big Success NEW YORK. Iff) Althea ibson, bags, tennis racket, and plate presented by Queen ilizabeth, returns here late to'ay the first court she ever played on--West 143rd Street in Harlem-and for once she can smile and mow there won't have to be a year-long a i for "another chance," The long limbed, 29-year-old Master fulfilled her self-admitted goal--to become the first Negro ever to win the Wimbledon crown --and did it quickly and method- cally in disposing of Darlene Hard, Montebello. 6-3, 6-2 on Saturday. FOR ALTHEA, it was the culmination of seven years of domestic and international tennis play, all given its genesis on the asphalt of Harlem's streets and school yards.

Miss Gibson's mother smilingly recalls how she used to grab a solid wooden paddle, a couple of well-worn tennis balls and then go out to look for an empty brick wall or anyone who cared to match her in this almost unheard- of game, in a land where "stickball" rules the streets of New York during the warm weather months. Quite often, the brick walls in the neighborhood furnished her with her only opposition, but they have the distinction of being the only ones never to fail to return one of Althea's bullet-like serves or one of her ferocious volleys. WHILE THE TOUR down the tennis road to supremacy has been a long and arduous one, i has not been without its rewards and distinctions. In 1950, she was the first Negro ever to play in the National Ten nis Championships at Forres Hills, and it took an act of nature in the form of a violent squall to bring her from the brink of vie tory over Louise Brough to a heart-breaking loss the next day when the match was resumed. In May 1951, her heart did series of tumbles when she re ceived an invitation to compete in the Wimbledon matches.

This was her World Series, and she blew her first chance in the thirc round against Beverly Baker. Bu she still carried home the dis tinction of being the first Negro ever to compete in this hallowed affair. HER NATIONAL stature wa recognized in December, 1954 when she became the first Negro ever to be named one of the 10 tennis players in the country A few days later, the Eastern Lawn Tennis Assn. named her the number one woman's player in their ranks. Last year she lost in quarter-finals at Wimbledon to Shirley Fry, but still salvage a part of the doubles crown.

This year, she took all the mar bles. But she still hasn't beaten that brick wall.

PORTS MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1957 PAGE 17 Judging by the Cards' five-game winning streak and nine out of 10 urge, they may be in first place a ot longer than that. They could go 11 the way, too. Anyone who has een waiting for the Cards to play ead had better take a look at the landings. The Cards and Dodgers each hit the 77-gamc halfway mark of the orrid race simultaneously Sunday with the Cards in front and the champion Dodgers in fifth.

That should prove it's a different ear for the National. The Brooks mven't been out of the first divi- ion at the midway point since the 948 season. THE DODGERS whirled out of he first division in a dizzying re- huffle of the standings from sec- md to fifth place. The Cards defeated the Cincinnati Redlegs wice, 3-2 and 9-6, Philadelphia ilasted Brooklyn 2-1, and 5-3, and Milwaukee whipped Chicago 4-2. This sent the Redlegs from second fourth, the Braves from third to second, the Phils from fifth to hird, and Brooklyn from fourth to ifth.

Pittsburgh even got into the act. The Pirates, with Frank Thomas and Dick Groat on a homer binge, whaled the New York Giants, 10-6 and 8-1, and moved out of the cel- ar. The Cubs dropped in. In the American League, the New York Yankees also held a 2y 2 edge over the Chicago White Sox in the two-team race. The Yanks whipped Washington, 7-5, jut lost a half game to the White Sox who bounced Cleveland twice, 1-8 in 13 innings, and 7-2.

Baltimore jeat Boston 84 on Bob Nieman's 'our runs batted in, and Detroit downed Kansas City, 5-2, with Al Kaline and Charley Maxwell driving in all five runs. The Cards' two wins gave them a sweep of the four-game set with Cincinnati. At St. Louis crowd of 3D.516 cheered as young Joe Cunningham kept the Cards blazing with six hits--three in each game --to boost his average to .391. The 25-year old outfielder from Saddle Brook, N.J., hammered home al three runs in the opener, the firs two with a homer, and the winner with a single in the 10th.

CUNNINGHAM got plenty ol help from Wally Moon and Bobby Gene Smith in the second game, Wally whacked a double and a homer, and E.G. sent home four runs with a single, triple anc homer. Milwaukee drew 33,616 customers to become the first club in the majors to hit the million mark in attendance. This is becoming Milwaukee tradition. The Braves have drawn 1,008,980.

The big crowd in county stadium wen home happy as Lew Burdette spun a six-hitter for his first victory since May 18. Wes Covington anc Frank Torre climaxed a three-run first inning with successive triples and that did it for Lew. A crowd of 16,805 in Brooklyn didn't have much to cheer abou as the Phils took their first double header from the Dodgers in nearly three years. Ed Bouchee's ninth inning homer beat Sal Maglie in the first game and ex-Dodge Chico Fernandez' three-run doubli in the sixth inning broke up a 2-2 tie in the windup. Thomas, who beat the Giant with a 13th inning homer Saturday hit three more homers and was on base nine times in 10 tries in th Sunday twin bill.

He homered will a man on the first two times up Sunday for three in a row. Groa collected a homer in each game- both times following a Thoma four-bagger--and drove in five runs in the nightcap. In all th Pirates clubbed seven homers. THE WHITE Sox ran their win ning streak to five. They cami from behind a 6-0 count to nip th' Indians, 9-8, in the 13-inning, hours, 23 minutes opener, on Jim Rivera's triple and Luis Aparicio' game-winning single.

That is, he is no more the light heavyweight chain- pion as of today. Julius Helfand, chairman Uhletic Commission and lected president the World Committee for Pro- essional Boxing, said no meet- ngs, no- formalities, no talks are necessary to declare the light, leavyweight title vacant. 'At the world championship committee meeting in Paris last month, it was decided that Moore's itle would be automatically vacated if he failed to sign for a championship fight with Tony Anthony by July 7," Helfand UNLESS HE HAS decided to seep it a secret, Archie has not signed to fight Anthony. "The other day, Frank Sinatra's business manager, Hank Sanicola, said le and the singer hoped to promote a bout between Moore and Anthony in Los Angeles in Sep- ember.

He added that he's sup- xjsed to meet with Archie today. But that apparently cut no ice with Helfand. "The National Boxing Assn. was represented at the Paris meet- ng," he "And concurred in our decision. If Moore had signed jy July 7 (yesterday), he would tiave had until Aug.

Anthony, as the No. 1 contender, can figh either Harold Johnson of Phila delphia or Yolande Pompey Trinidad. The winner will be rec ognized as the world champion provided he fights the other (either Johnson or Pompey) within 9( days in defense of the title." It remains to be seen whether the committee can make its decision to.strip Moore of his title -stick.

He failed to go through with a date with Anthony in defense of the title June 7, and the NBA announced it would take his title away from him. At that time, Moore was tour ing In Germany and howled he would sue for a million. Nothing has happened.

SCOREBOARD Cowboys To Test Newcomer Woods Against Douglas Kings Here Tonight 'FIREMEN' Those well-known of the Cleveland pitching staff, Don Mossi (left) and Ray Narleski, accent their proper sphere as railroad firemen in this picture which also included a touch for Railroad Night at Cleveland. By GEORGE McLEOD Citizen Sports Editor The Tucson Cowboys will waste little time finding out what newcomer Sam Woods can do with a baseball. Woods, a righthanded pitcher optioned to Tucson from Yakima in the Class Northwest League, arrived late last night and immediately was handed the pitching assignment for tonight's rubber game against the Douglas Copper Kings at Hi Corbett Field. Woods, a youngster the Pokes are depending on to round out their wobbly pitching staff, will be opposed by Octavio Acosta, one of the best pitchers in the league. Douglas and Tucson broke even in their weekend games to start off the second half of the Arizona- Mexico League split season.

Tucson, behind the fine pitching of Israel Ferrer, won Saturday night's game, 12-8, and then was handcuffed last night by the left- handed Don Little as Douglas won, 6-3. Ferrer's victory was his llth against 5 losses. Last night, Candido Andrade lost his eighth game against eight victories. Woods, whose record with Yakima isn't available, had a 14-10 season last year with Pampa in the Class Southwestern League. He pitched 199 innings and showed excellent control.

He walked only 59 men. Sam fanned 119 and had an earned run average of 5.16. It was a lack of control which cost Tucson last night's game. Andrade, after retiring the first four men to face hjm, walked three straight Kings. Manager Bob Clear followed with a two- run single.

Later, reliever Mickey Morrison walked the leadofi man in the top of tliR ninth inning only to see him score on a sacrifice fly. Those three runs were the difference. Clear and outfielder Len Lindborg accounted for all of Douglas' runs. Clear, in addition to his single, hit a solo homer in the fourth. Lindborg drove in a pair of runs with a triple in the seventh inning off Andrade and then added a final rim with his long fly.

Tucson, once again showing a weak attack against a lefthander, was able to start only two rallies, but each was cul short. In the sixth inning, Walt Tyler doubled and scored on Hal Hacker's single.
