MATS DAtLt NWWS, JnftlDAT, IS, Williams In Tie For Batting Lead Record Is 5- For- 11 Since His Return Well, well, look who's tied for the American League batting lead. A guy named Ted Williams from Boston. It's been long haul. All that fuss over his ankle In the spring, and missing opening day because of food poisoning. He didn't get over .300 until July 1.

Then he had another aplt spat with a booing crowd. He spent his 40th birthday fighting a virus. The sickness kept him out of action from Aug. 24 to last Tuesday, when he was fifth in the batting race at .315. Hutchinson May Resign Before Cards Fire Him.

Milwaukee. Sept. If bosses of the St. Louis Cardinals don't hurry up and publicly fire Fred Hutchinson as manager, he might beat them to the punch. Club officials insist they won't make a final decision until the season ends, despite reports he already is out.

Williams, shooting for his sixth title although a far ci-y from his winning ,388 of last season, drove in the lone Boston run as the White Sox swept the three-game set anc took a 3i-game lead over the Red Sox for second place.

The White Sox counted their four in the fifth. Two out, two-run singles by Jim Landis and Nellie Fox did it against Ike Delock (12-7). Roy Sievers and Albie Pearson each drove in two nms for the Senators. John Romonsky (2-4) i won it in relief. He retired the first 17 men he faced, but needed Ted iClevenger's help to put down a three-run Tiger try in the ninth.

Al Cicotte (3-4) lost it. Ned Carver, knocked off the Birds for the fourth time in six decisions this season wltb a four- hitter. They scored on two singles and a fly ball in the third inning, but Garver (12-10), a Comeback of the Year possibility, gave up only one more hit, none after the fifth. Preston Ward's sacrifice fly gave the A's a 2-1' lead in the fifth against Billy O'Dell (14-11). Cerv's lone hit was his 33rd home run, a two-on shot that capped a five-run eighth.

Fernandez Makes Skipper Eat Words Bv AttoaMtd Prttt No one ever has accused Eddie Sawyer of being buddy-buddy with his guys, but he's a great man for psychology as a retread manager with the Philadelphia Phillies. Just a few days ago he took a at Chico Fernandez, the chipper, proud shortstop peddled to the Phils by the Dodgers last year, "He hasn't shown me a thing," said Sawyer, the pennant skipper of 1950 who returned as Phils' manager July 22. If Chico hasn't shown Sawyer anything since then, Sawyer just hapn't been looking. (Sunday, the day after Sawyer's dig, the Phils lost a doubleheader but Chico was 5-for- 8 and drove in a run. Tuesday he doubled home the Phils' first run when they beat Los Angeles 4-3 and ended their losing string at seven.

Wednesday, Fernandez was hitless, but the Phils beat Los Angeles 8-6. Thursday night, Chico really beat the rap. He tied the game with a two-run single, then stole second and counted the winning run on Dave Philley's pinch single for a three-run eighth inning that beat the Dodgers 4-3.

Baseball fans couldn't believe their ears yesterday when the announcer droned out the Baltimore Orioles starting lineup: "Batting fifth and playing centerfield, Jack Harshman Batting seventh. and playing second baise, Milt Pappas." As the Kansas City Athletics ecyrried to their positions for the first inning the spectators buzzed.

What's going on? Has Richards gone loco?" asked one. Paul Richards, Baltimore's astute manager certainly isn't loco but, as every fan knows, Jack Harshman is a lefthanded pitcher Who isn't destined to take the cen- terfteW Job from the Orioles' fleet Jim Busby. And Milt Pappas is a big 18-year-old pitcher who may become great but not as a second baseman. was It all about? Just the wily Richards' latest scheme to get all the mileage he can from defensively strong but weak-hitting Orioles. Jtat RiohardH explain it: "When we are on the road we might get ott to a big first inning if IT can my better hitters into llnoyp Without having to take If Harshman up, I can put in tor Uiwn, Then when can put in At least its to break by and Gardner are both top glove men but far from the best hitters on the club.

The night before Richards had put a pinch hitter in for Busby when he came to bat with the bases filled in the first inning. That, of course, prevented Busby from playing at all. That started the fertile Richards mind working overnight. Why not have pitchers spotted in his opening lineup and if their turn came to bat in the first inning, put in one of his better hitters from the bench? It would be nice to report the scheme netted some runs and both Busby and Gardner made miraculous catches to protect the lead. But it didn't work out that way, Harshman's turn to bat came up and there was Dick Williams and Bob Nieman on the bases with a single and base on balls, In went Gene Woodling, a dangerous lefthanded batter to face righthanded pitcher Ned Garver, but the Kansas City-hurler got him out on a fly ball to end the inning.

Wichita, Denver Gain Playoff Edge Sv Associated Prat Wichita's potent Braves and the Denver Bears used different tacks last night in gaining the edge in their American Association baseball semifinal playoffs with Minneapolis and Charleston.

The Tribe had five home runs among 13 hits in a 9-2 shellacking of Minneapolis, while Denver's Mark Freeman two-hit the regular season champions in a 3-0 triumph. Both Wichita and Denver now lead in their best-of-seven game playoff series, two games to one. The teams reverse their playing sites tonight, Wichita moving to Minneapolis and Charleston to Denver for the remaining games in the series. Only two Wichita players failed Lo hit safely in the romp over Minneapolis. While the Braves' Dick Littlefield twirled a seven-hitter, his mates broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in the third.

Eddie Charles and Ray Shearer each hit a pair of homers, and Bob Talbot got the other. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL By the Aitoodtted Preei (Best of 7 nternational Columbus 6, Montreal 1 (tied 1-1).

Several Tilts To Preview Grid Season the AitoHalrd Proi With the first full Saturday of college football still two weeks away and a partial slate due next weekend, there is a sneak preview in store Saturday with a smattering of opening games and some robust full dress scrimmages. Kentucky is the only national power to open, with a clash against the University of Hawaii at Louisville. Wildcats' Coach Blanton Collier said the game was scheduled so his sophomore-laden team could get experience before wading into a tough Southeastern Conference schedule.

Drake takes on South Dakota State in a non-Missouri Valley Conference tilt in the other major Saturday game. Two stronger lesser lights find Florida State meeting Tennessee Tech and Bradley facing Iowa Teachers. A host of small college games is on tap for Saturday. La Crosse (Wis.) defeated McAlester 26-7 in an opener Thursday night. This will be the final Saturday practice for the Southern and Atlantic Coast Conference teams, as well as the Southwest Conference, who all open next wekend.

So do some of the Eastern independents, plus some out of conferences games in the Mid and Far West. Wake Forest, opening next weekend against Maryland in an Atlantic Coast Conference game, has been promised an all-out scrimmage Saturday. Clemson got its first look at Virginia plays in preparation for its Sept. 20 opener and these will be emphasized in workouts from now on. Princeton, though not opening until Sept.

27, has a full game-type scrimmage set against Lehigh. Virginia Military, 1957 Southern Conference champs, began working against Morehead State plays for their Sept. 20 date, while Dan Devine concentrated his Missouri Tigers on the opener with Vanderbilt. Two national big-wigs, Notre Dame and Oklahoma, began making some advance planning for their Sept. 27 openers.

The Irish, who start against Indiana, will probably have to replace starting center Bob Scholtz, out with a knee injury, while the Sooners began setting a starting eleven with a host of changes. They meet West Virginia at Norman, Okla. North Carolina picked its starting team to oppose North Carolina State next weekend while Duke worked two quarterbacks with the first team against South Carolina plays. LEADING FULLBACK Is Chuck Vernon who was a top ball carrier on the 1957 Tiger squad. SUU RICHARD POAGE, Jennings sophomore, is a top contender in the fullback ranks.

The 200 pounder was a letter winner at end on Coach McConnell's 1957 team. DARRELL GILBERT, 180 Ib. Colby scrapper, is one of the leading freshmen grid candidates at Fort Hays State. Chuck Vernon Has Fort Hays Fullback Situation In Hand iene Fullmer Gains Decision Over Webb Salt Lake City, Sept. 'ormer middleweight champ Gene 'ullnier Thursday night applied he pressure for another title shot with a 10-round unanimous deci- ion over sharpshooter Spider Fullmer weighed 159 3 for the ull-dlstance brawl with 159 i- ouncl Webb of Chicago.

Marv Jenson, manager of Fullner, said the West Jordan, Utah, I'indmill is entitled to "a crack Sugar Ray Robinson now, but ve'H take Carmen Basilio any- ime." Robinson lost his crown to Full- icr more than a year ago in a York decision, won it back ith a Chicago knockout, handed to Basilio and then won it back gain. Sugar Ray was the only to put Fullmer away for the ount. Webb said after Thursday ight's loss: "I don't think he rould beat me again." The nearly 8,000 equally divided ana roared their approval as both ghters bombarded through every ound and finished up with a toe- o-toe slugfest.

Denver Open Lead To Tommy Jacobs Denver, Sept. (IP) Tommy Jacobs, a skinny freshman on the professional golf circuit, ignored the big pack of favorites and 90-degree heat Thursday to post an early lead in the $20,000 Denver Open Centennial Golf Tournament. The 23-year-old rookie from Whittier, carded six birdies for a five-under par over Wellshire Municipal Course. Trailing him by a stroke were two other comparative newcomers, John McMullin, 23, of Fail- Oaks, and Bill Parker, 28, of Wewoka, Okla. Then followed the tourney veterans within easy striking distance.

Twenty-one swingers in the big field of more than .100 broke par during the opening round of the 72-hole tourney, which is worth to the winner.

One of the most pleasing situations for Fort Hays coach Wayne McConnell is the presence of co- captain Chuck Vernon in the Tiger backfield. The nigged 205 Ib.

Norcatur native is the top performer among the corps of fullbacks on the Bengal squad. Vernon earned a selection on the CIAC second unit last season as he paced the Tiger scoring department with 48 points and had a ball carrying average of 5.5. As a power rimer, Vernon is the "inside man" of the Bengals offense and also handles most of the punting duties. Fighting it out for the second string fullback spot are Richard Pqage, 200 Ib. letter winner at end last season, and Darrell Gilbert, a 20-year-old plebe from Colby.

Poage, who is a sophomore from Jennings, started out last season as a guard but was later shifted to end. In early drills -this season he has shown some hard running ability and has looked good as a defensive linebacker. A 180 pounder, Gilbert was out of high school for two years before deciding to enroll at Fort Hays. Coach McConnell reports that Gilbert is one of the most impressive newcomers on the squad because of his versatility in passing, running, and kicking. A pair of freshmen, Jerry of Glasco and Clayton Schartz of Ellinwood complete the fullback roster.

In early scrimmage Hauck has been a tough competitor and could easily develop into a good carrier. Despite his lack of size, Schartz has shown defensive ability and aggressiveness. He is a competent ball-toter and Coach McConnell indicated that he may be shifted to a halfback spot. Fullback roster: Player Wt. fit.

Hauck Matthews Favored By KO Over Tibbs Philadelphia, Sept. Unbeaten Len Mathews is worried about his scheduled 10-round fight at the Arena tonight against Boston's light-hitting Tommy Tibbs. He's not worried about losing, but rather how he'll win. The 19-year-old Philadelphia lightweight, who has won 12 of 13 bouts by knockouts, is afraid the bout won't go the limit. No, he doesn't have rocks in his head.

He just wants to prove to himself and his undefeated fighters have he can box, go the 10-round limit and win by decision. Only against the veteran Pappy Gault has he been forced to wait for the decision. And that waa an eight-rounder. But the experts figure the young Negro sensation will make short work of Tibbs, one ol' the losing- est fighters in the ring today. The 24-year-old Boston fighter in 92 bouts owns 43-46-3 record.

He is the current New England lightweight champion, for what that is worth, and holds a victory over Willie Pep, the 35-year-old former featherweight king who has seen his best fighting days. NBC will telecast. K.U. Seconds Hand Starters Sharp Setback By Aifoctattd Preti Coach Jack Mitchell got some surprising results from a rough, two-hour scrimmage by his Kansas Jayhawkers yesterday. The second team pounded through the first string for two touchdowns and held the probable starting unit scoreless.

Running in the No. 2 backfield were quarterback Bill Crank, halfbacks Buddy Merritt and Roger Hill, and fullback Doyle Schick. Merritt spurted 30 yards up the middle for one touchdown and Crank passed 10 yards to DeWitt Lewis for the other. At Manhattan Coach Bus Mertes was smiling over the improvement shown by his Kansas State Wildcats in a game-conditioning scrimmage of four nine-minute quarters. Each of the first three' K-State units scored a touchdown, and John Solmos, third string quarterback gave Mertes an eyeful of passing.

Solmos hit five of six passes an a 64-yard scoring drive. Nebraska lost two men. Don Olson, a tackle who played 439 minutes last year and was expected to lead the line this season, quit the squad because of injuries, Bob Daniels, No. 2 center, from Wichita was dropped off the squad on physicians' orders. He has had a virus infection.

Coach Bud Wilkinson continued juggling his lineup at Oklahoma while Missouri Coach Dan Devine expressed stronger conviction that the Tigers have only one good outfit. Quality of the second and third strings drop off so sharply there won't be any platooning at Missouri, Devine said. Iowa State showed some offensive weaknesses in a 42-6 victory over the freshmen yesterday, Coach Clay Stapleton said. Colorado Springs Beats Off Rival Btf the Atioclatfd Prett The Colorado Springs Sky Sox lave reduced their magic number to two. They did It the hard way, whipping Amarillo last night 6-2 and 12-5 in 12 innings to replace the old Sox at the top of the Western League.

Colorado Springs holds a 1J game lead with three games to Amarillo has four more games. Any combination of Colorado Springs victories and Amarillo defeats totaling two will assure the Sky Sox of at least a tie for the pennant, They could make it tonight, when they meet Amarillo in the final of a five-game series. Each las won two. In the second game, Colorado prings tied it with two on in the ninth, then scored seven runs in the 12th. In the other games, Pueblo virtually assured itself of a first division finish by sweeping a double- leader from Albuquerque 8-0 and 5-4.

Pueblo has a edge on Albuquerque in their fight for fourth place. Des Moines won its ninth straight, downing Lincoln 7-3. Uoux City edged Topeka 4-3. Other games tonight match Des Moines at Lincoln, Topeka at Sioux City and Pueblo at Albuquerque (2). A'S SIGN BONUS PLAYER Battle Creek, Sept.

A rawhide-tough ex-champion, two surprised collegians and a virtual unknown today battled in the 36- hole semifinal round of the 58th National Amateur Golf Championships.

The bracketing assured a college player in the final for the first time since 1951 as Dick Foote, a junior at UCLA, met Tom Aaron, a Florida senior. Texan Billy Maxwell won it that year. In the other semi two 34- year-olds Coe of Oklahoma City who won the national title in 1949 and Roger McManus of Cincinnati who says he hopes he's a better salesman than a golfer. This quartet, with a distinct Southern flavor McManus was born in South from the original field of 200 who started over the Olympic Country's Clubs' Lake Course on Monday. For both Foote and Aaron, this is the first time in the U.

S. Amateur. "I came here hoping to play well enough to make the Walker Cup team," declared Aaron, the Southeastern Conference champion. The 21-year-old from Gainesville, ousted ex-titlist Dick Chapman and 1956 runner-up Chuck Kocsis in Thursday's two rounds. Chapman went out 3 and 2 and Kocsis 7 and 5.

McManus dropped putts of 25 feet at the second hole, 10 on 13, 15 15 and 36 at 16 in eliminating Ward Wettlaufer, the Hamilton College senior from Buffalo, N. who had downed Harvie Ward, San Francisco, 2 and 1. Coe eliminated two collegians Thursday. He equalled par 70 to oust' San Jose State's Dan Morgan, and then Deane Beman of the University of Maryland, each 1 up. Beman beat Johnny Dawson 3 and 1 in the morning.
