SAFE AT looks as if David Cox of the White Sox is going to beat the throw to first in last night's little League game between the Yanks and Sox. Gene LaFoIlette, Yankee first baseman, anxiously awaits the throw from the other side of the infield. The Yanks won 3 to 2. Braves Edge Dodgers, 4-3, on Two Run Homer by Paf ko; Sox Fall to Yanks, 4-3; Cubs Lose By BEN PHLEGAR AP Sportswritcr What.a difference a day makes least in the standings of the National League. Starting right from the top where the Milwaukee Braves brought an abrupt end to Brooklyn's 48-hour reign of glory, six of the eight Wrestler Blossoms Forth As Singer; Watch Out Pinza By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES Wi Sandor Szabo's main claim to fame is that he is a wrestler who once held the "undisputed" champion' ship of the world AlongJYork Giants and Cincinnati played with five or six other torso twist-'the longest National League game senior circuit clubs found their positions changed today.

The Braves were back in first place by half a game. Brooklyn had slipped to second. Third place belonged to Philadelphia instead of St. Louis. Pittsburgh was out of the cellar and Chicago was in it.

Milwaukee moved in front the hard whipping the Dodg ers. The Braves went into the ninth inning at Ebbets Field trailing by one run and pulled a 4-3 victory on a two-run homer by Andy Pafko. The drive by Pafko, who was a Dodger until early this year, snapped a 10-game Brooklyn winning streak. The Phillies traded places with the Cardinals as Robin Roberts blanked the Redbirds on seven hits (for his eighth victory, 5-0. Yanks Nip Sox, 3-2, in Little League Game Another capacity crowd showed up to watch the little Leaguers play ball last night at O.N.

Custer park as the Yankees edged out the White Sox, 3 to 2, and the Dodgers and Giants battled to a 12 to 12 tie with the game called at the end of five innings. A ruling of the Little League national organization states that no inning may be started after 9:30, hence last night's second game had to be stopped after five innings. Thursday night the Cardinals and Giants tangle in the opener at 5:45 and the White Sox and Red Sox meet in the second game, to get underway at 7:30. There are no games tonight. After two and a half innings of scoreless play the White Sox broke the ice.

with two runs in the bottom half of the third. The Yankees came back to tie things up in the fifth inning and pushed the winning run across in the top of the sixth. The White Sox outhit the winners 6 to 1 but the Yanks took full advantage of several walks and a few costly errors. Gary Boone, White Sox second baseman, had two hits in two official trips and scored once. Mike Johnson went the distance for the Yanks and was the winning pitcher while Jeff Sandberg did the chucking for the White Sox.

He has blossomed forth as a singer. Sure, everyone laughed when of the the Redlegs scoring twice in the 13th for a 5-3 decision. Pittsburgh nipped Chicago, 4-3, in 11 innings at Forbes Field In Detroit the Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics battled four the hero of hundreds of nights in and 28 minutes through 14 the ring stood up to sing. But they laugh no more. Because Sandor gives out, with surprising poise and effect, with a baritone that is deep, rich, rather melancholy, and full of such feeling that the ladies swoon all over the place.

Well, almost anyway. The first Ezio Pinza of the cauliflower clique, all 220 pounds of him, is dead serious about his vocalizing. When as a gag a friend asked if perhaps Pinza might not be offended about a wrestler invading the field of music, Sandor replied seriously in his magnificently fractured ac-i cent: I "Vy shud he? I would haff no complaint if Mr. Peenza wrestle." Women's Bowling DETROIT Another day of light scheduling provided little action in the Women's International Bowling Congress tournament Tuesday. Marion Herzog, of Cincinnati, had the day's best singles effort, 568 on games of 190, 145 and 223.

In doubles, Frances Ger- kenmeier shot 530, to which Dc- troiter Rudelle Lozon added 494 for 1024, the highest in doubles. Team action was confined strictly to booster quintets. READ THE CLASSIFIED ADS innings to a 7-7 tie. The game, which will have to be replayed from the start, was called because of the American League curfew which prohibits the start of any inning after 12:50 a.m. Joe Collins' ninth inning homer, his second of the night, gave the New York Yankees a 4-3 margin over the Chicago White Sox.

Cleveland kept pace with the Yanks by defeating Boston, 7-3, and St. Louis outlasted Washington, 5-3. Roberts' eighth victory, over the Cardinals, was one of his easiest. His teammates got him four runs in the first inning with the help of home runs by Del Ennis and Hamner. At New York the Redlegs bunched two singles and a triple by Jim Greengrass for two runs in the top of the 13th to win.

Frank Thomas broke up the Pittsburgh-Pirates game with a bases-empty blast in the 11th. Collins' two homers at Chicago extended the Yankees' winning streak to five games. In Cleveland, the Indians led all the way and clinched matters in the eighth when Al Rosen homered with two on. Satchel Paige, the ancient won der of the St. Louis Browns, finally won his first game of the 1953 season.

However, after the Dodgers had added two, more in the top of the fourth," the Giants rallied in their half of the inning and scored six runs. They pushed two more across in the last of the fifth to tie things up and the game was called at the end of this inning. Tim Sward, Dodger first sacker, smashed the first home run of the Galesburg Little League when he cleared the right field fence.

Buddy Woodward, catcher for the Giants, had a perfect night at bat with four hits, one of them a double, in four trips to the plate Yankees (3) MONMOUTH SCOTS Dick Vogt was awarded the Jud Kriedenier High Point track trophy he tallied over 100 points as a dashman and hurdler for the Scots this spring. Senior blanket awards were made to Ray Brooks, Don Fenton, Bob Guelle, Joe Cooper, Dick Peter son, Ken Gould, Al Girard and Tom Hoffman. DAWDY HAWKINS, Peoria Central cage coach, will lecture on basketball at the annual U. of Nebraska coaching clinic in August. Hawkins led his Lions to second place in the Illinois state tourney.

THE RESIGNATION of Dr. Melvin G. Davis as superintendent of the Peoria school system comes as no surprise it is very doubtful if any of the Peoria coaches will lose any sleep over the loss of Melvin. QUAD-CITY NOTE. Alleman's (Rock Island) bid for entrance into the Quad-City conference has been rejected for the present time it seems that Davenport was the chief objector.

City Softball League Opens Play Friday Grand opening for the City Softball League will be Friday night on the Lake Storey diamond, with four of the nine teams in action.

Taking the field for the first game at 7 o'clock will be Leo Stein's and Admiral, with Club 19 meeting Kendrick's lumber Co. of Abingdon in the second encounter Five of the teams entered in the City League this year were members of the Custer Park League last year, including Butler Mfg. the 1952 champion.

The third out was actually made on this same play so Jim's slide is to no avail. However, the Yanks went on to win without the run.

Washington at St. Louis, 7:30 p.m. Philadelphia at Detroit (2) Boston at Cleveland Yukon Eric, the strong man from Alaska, defeated Reggie Lisowski, champion weight lifter from Wisconsin, in the main event at the local wrestling arena last night, after the "body beautiful" decided he had taken enough punishment from his 275 pound opponent. Lisowski soon learned that lifting 275 poui.ds is a little different when it's in the form of human wrestling dynamjte. He found this to be the case last night when, after 10 minutes and 10 seconds of futile effort, he lost the first fall to Eric on a body press.

Lisowski then decided to take advantage of the brief rest period between falls and unleashed a ruthless attack on the unexpecting giant from the rear. However, once Yukon steadied himself he chased Reggie across and out of the ring. Order was soon restored and the match was continued. This unsportsmanlike action only served to stir up the big boy's tern per and, after five minutes and 16 seconds of battling, Lisowski con ceded the match to Eric. Walter Palmer, 212 pounds from Des Plaines, won over Sky Hi Lee, 290 pounds from El Paso, in the semi-windup, a two out of three 45 minute time limit match Hi Lee took the first fall with a knee drop and body press in 13 minutes and popular Palmer came back to win the second fall with a spinning toe hold minutes.

Palmer then took the third and deciding fall on a disqualification. The first match of the evening, which was a one fall 30 minutes affair, saw Rudy Kay, 225 pounds from Chicago, and Stan Halleck, 216 from Canada, battle to a draw. Next week's main event will see two of the best mat men of the business get together when Hans Schmidt, the Munich terror, tangles with popular Ronnie Etchison. Whitie Whittler and Benito Gardini will meet in the semi-windup and Zak Malkov and Al Rossi square off in the opener.

If some team would offer a couple of youngsters with promise, they have the 37-year-old Joost, possible pennant insurance for either club. Both the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians have professed interest in Joost.

General manager Arthur Ehlers and his field director, Jimmy Dykes, believe Eddie is the finest shortstop in the American League. Why then is he being considered in trade? The answer is that Ehlers is looking to the future. The A's don't necessarily want a shortstop in return. They need a hard hitting young catcher, a fence busting outfielder who cap run, and a third baseman. They aren't interested in cash.

I SAN FRANCISCO Southpaw Frankie Albert came out of foot ball retirement Tuesday night to sign with' the Calgary Stampeders of Canada's Western Interprovin- cial League.

Terms were not announced. But the former San Francisco 49er T-quarterback said Calgary "paid me considerably more than I ever received with the 49ers" of the National Football League. That was estimated at $22,500 in 1950. Calgary's general manager, Bob Robinett, also declined to discuss the terms. Albert was a Stanford All-America and Rose Bowl hero before World War II.

After wartime Navy service, he joined San Francisco in 1946 and remained until he retired last December. He was a free agent. Albert will report to the Calgary training camp on July 12.
