THE BLOW THAT NEARLY ENDED FIGHT Sugar Ray Rob-bin's knees buckle under him as he goes down in 6th round after taking a left hook and right to the head from Rocky Castellani in San Francisco's Cow Palace last night. Sugar Ray, on the comeback trail, struggled to his feet after taking a nine count and went on to score a split decision over the number one middleweight contender in the hectic 10-round battle. By JOE FALLS DETROIT JP) In the wake of "Gray Friday" you could hardly call it "black" with so many favorites winning there emerged three imposing figures in the PGA Golf tournament: Dr. Cary Middlecoff as the strong man, Johnny Palmer as the silent man and Tommy Bolt as the loud man.

Play 36 Today With only 16 survivors left, these three players stood out as the ones to watch in today's 36-hole third round at the Meadowbrook Country Club. And of the three, the flamboyant, unpredictable but wonder- Alyce Howard Ruth Edwards Set Golf Pace Alyce Howard moved a step closer to her fourth slam in Women's City Golf tourney circles by firing a low 87 yesterday morn ing in the second round of the City Medal Play meet at River side. Her 87 was five strokes over an opening 82 fired earlier in the meet. She now has a 36-hole to tal of 169. Alyce won the 1955 Match Play championship last Sunday and now is in a good spot to sweep the Medal crown.

Close behind her yesterday were I eddy Zeedyk and Grace Hill each with a 92.

The Pale Hose seldom have had it so good. Twelve victories in the last 16 games have got the go-go Sox go ing, yet Marty's starters have managed only four complete games in the surge. It has been the bullpen boys who have kept Chicago within reach for late rallies and who have made early leads stand up.

It was that way again last night when the Sox thumped Boston 10-7 and took, the American League lead by two percentage points over the New York Yankees. The Yanks were made fully aware of their plight by losing to Kansas City 3-1 after the A's had lost 10 straight. The Sox belted Boston for five runs In the first and five in the third. Still, Marion had to go to the relief staff, calling in Mike Fornieles and Sandy Consuegra and finally Morrie Martin to pull it off. Martin received credit for the victory by checking the Bosox on one hit over the last three innings.

Fornieles did all right after replacing Jack Harshman when Boston scored three in the third, until the Red Sox mustered four in the seventh. Consuegra misfired for a change, too, but Marion is knee deep in reliefers. Indians Blank Orioles Walt Dropo was the big man for Chicago, which moved back into first place after a 24-hour stay June 18. Dropo doubled for two runs in the first and lined a two-run single in the third. After the third, Chicago didn't get a hit.

It was the big early innings and Martin that provided the difference. Tom Brewer, Boston starter, was the loser. Elsewhere the AL, Cleveland stayed two games behind the leaders with a 2-0 decision over Baltimore and Detroit plastered Washington 11-3. Brooklyn upped its National League lead to 14 games with an 8-4 romp over runnerup Milwaukee; New York's Giants defeated Cincinnati 6-3 in the 14th inning; Pittsburgh drubbed Chicago 3-1 and St. Louis stopped Philadelphia 8-1 after the Phils had made it 11 in a row by winning the first game of the twi-night twin-bill 6-3.

Gorman gave a hit but no runs in the ninth. Joe Astroth squeezed in the winning run in the sixth. Enos Slaughter, another recent Yank, scored the first run and had two-for-three.

New York now has lost 12 of the last 17 games. Cleveland got Just four hits off Baltimore's Jim Wilson, but took it anyway on Al Smith's fourth-inning homer and a sacrifice fly by Hank Foiles in the seventh after singles by Al Rosen and Ferris Fain. Herb Score won his ninth, with relief, and fanned five to run his strikeout total to 147. The Cardinals scored three times in the third inning to snare the nightcap after the Phils had matched Brooklyn's 11-game string longest in the majors this season. Red Schoendienst drove in three of the Cards' runs in the second game, won by Harvey Had-dix.

Bobby Morgan's three-run homer topped a six-run rally in the fifth inning of the opener. It was Peewee Reese Nieht at Ebbets Field and the Dodger shortstop hit two doubles, drove In a run scored a run. Milwaukee had four homers, two by Del Crandall, but rookie Roger Craig got his second victory with relief from Ed Roebuck. Gene Conley was the loser. Brooklyn packed away the game in a three-run eighth when Carl Furillo homered with two on.

Rookie Gail Harris' homer with two on in the fifth extra inning sent Cincinnati to its sixth straight defeat while lifting the Giants to within a game and a half of Milwaukee. Marv Grissom won in relief. Joe Black gave the Giants six scattered hits while working the first 10 innings. The Cubs fell to their 13th de feat in 15 games as Elroy Face pitched a seven-hitter. The Bucs started their 11-hit attack against Paul Minner with Gene Freese hitting two triples.

City Softball Squad Nips Kellogg, 8 to 5 Five runs in the fourth inning propelled the City of Battle Creek softball team to an 8 to 5, victory over the Kellogg Co. team in the only A-2 league encounter on the flight's schedule. Each team was credited with Seven hits and although his teammates accorded him perfect support afield, Pitcher Kimbel's wild-liess proved the difference between the clubs. He walked six nd uncorked two wild pitches. The game was called at the end of the first half of the sixth because of darkness.

0 Mich. Carton. 1 1 For tjie third time this season, the Eaton Mfg. class AA baseball team suffered the ignominy of a hitless, scoreless defeat, this time at the hands of the Archway Cookies club, which scored a 12 to 0 victory behind the airtight pitching of "Whitey" Payne. In the other major league game of the night, Hamblin C.C.

was an 8 to 0 victor over Michigan Carton. Despite its lack of offensive punch, the Eaton boys made a game of it. through the first four innings, over which period Frank Whitworth yielded but two hits and an unearned run. But the Archway swatters got the range in the fifth and drove Whitworth to coyer with a six-run splurge They added five more in the sixth Only 3 Get on Base Only three Eaton players reached base off Payne. Herm Blankenberg walked in the second, Max Bowen got free transportation in the third, and Whitworth was safe on Bus Shook's miscue, also in the third.

In fashioning his no-hit, no-run sleight-of-hand, Payne struck out nine and walked but two. Shook and Art Cybulski led the eight-hit Archway attack, each with two hits in four tries. The only extra base hit of the game was Ken Hamlin two-base drive. Carl Brown and reliefer Dave Reed combined for a two-hitter as Hamblin looked sham in record ing its first victory of second half play. The Hamblin sluggers pounded four doubles and two homers in blanking Michigan Carton, 8-0.

Hamblin Clubbers In Form Lanky Gary Morrison, first sacker, stroked the first circuit clout for Hamblin, in the second inning, and added two hard infield singles. The other Hamblin four ply blow was a terrific smash off the bat of Eddie Dalton, the ex uennke cleanup hitter. Eddie blasted the ball high over the scoreboard in the fourth with a teammate aboard. Walt Wilson, Larry Judd and Dick Bivens contributed doubles to the Hamblin 10-hit attack. Wilson ended with two-for-three, Dalton two-for-two and Morrison three-for-four.

Brown started but was yanked because of arm trouble after Danny Greenman smashed the only hit off his delivery, the blow coming in the second inning. Reed, just out of Central High, came on in relief to retire 14 batters in a row. Larry McElhenie broke the spell with a long double with two gone in the final sixth frame. Reed then hit Lee Pursley and walked Don Coss to load the bases. He ended the threat by striking out Green- man.

Lyman, Gasmen Win Intermediate Games Lyman Printing registered its second victory of the week in counting a 9 to 2 victory over Bellevue while the Gas House Gang had no trouble turning back Kerr's 10 to 1 in Intermediate league games of the junior baseball program last night. The Lyman club spotted its Bellevue opponents a one-run lead in the opening inning, then came back to knot the issue in the second and scored what proved to be the winning runs in the third as it counted a pair in the third. Another pair in the fourth and a cluster of four in the fifth proved unneeded. The winners collected nine hits. Bob Leeson, in his first mound assignment, limited Bellevue to two safeties and struck out 10.

Twelve hits, which included a double and triple addition to 10 singles, propelled the Gas House Gang to its lop-sided victory over Kerr's. The latter collected but two hits off the delivery of Bobby! Dean. I LION'S SIGN DIBBLE DETROIT (JP) The Detroit Lions have announced the signing of end Dome Dibble to a 1955 contract. Dibble was the sixth-ranking pass receiver in the National Football League last yeai. He caught 46 passes for 768 yards.

I fully colorful Bolt who has the quaint habit or saying what ne thinks probably is the best bet to go all the way in this week-long marathon. Who says so? Why, a fellow named Tommy Bolt says so. Listen: Ousts Tourney Favorite saved this tournament by beating him so it just has to be mine. If I didn't stop him, he'd have gone on to take it all." The "him" in question was Sammy Snead, a three-time PGA champion who lost a grim struggle to Bolt in yesterday's second round. "No one else could beat him except me," added the modest Mr.

Bolt, who earlier had let his sizzling clubs do his talking. "I don't choke against Snead." Shoots 4 Under Par Indeed not. He never let Snead get ahead of him and fired a four-under-par which the West Virginian simply couldn't match. The score was 3 and 2. Bolt dropped birdie putts of 12, 12, 15 and 18 feet and if that wasn't bad enough, he embarassed Snead by closing out the match on the 16th hole with a 20-foot shot out of the bunker.

Old Sam just hung his head as the ball disappeared into the cup. But don't forget Middlecoff and Palmer, who do considerably less talking but just as much golfing as Bolt. Middlecoff, perhaps the hottest player in this tournament or in any tournament this season, for that matter came through with two strong victories. He got past Wally Burkemo, the 1953 PGA champion who is a great match play competitor, 2 and 1. and then eliminated dangerous Bill Narv 3 and 2.

Palmer, who is about as easy going as they come too easy some say eliminated defending champion Chick Harbert, 1-up. And on Harbert's home course too. But if it's any consolation to Harbert, all former champions went out in yesterday's double round. In addition to himself and Burkemo, ex-champs Gene Sarazen and Vic Ghezzi were sent to the sidelines. It was favorites dav at the humid, steamy Meadowbrook lav-out, as medalist Doue Ford.

Actually, the change In teams for-Sunday's doubleheader should prove a bonanza here, for the Black Sox undoubtedly rate a far better team than the Sullivan group, which elected to enter a semi-pro tournament in Frankfort, rather than fulfill its engagement here. Both of Sunday's games have been scheduled over the full nine-inning route, but Archway Manager Don Kain explained that the two clubs have agreed to terminate -either or both games after seven innings of play should there be a differential of eight runs between the teams at that time. Game time for the first came has been moved up to 1:30 o'clock to assure1 completion of both encounters during the afternoon.

DETROIT (JP) The 90-plus heat that benched Ray Boone Thursday had no apparent ill effect on the Detroit Tiger third baseman yesterday. Boone hit two home runs and added a single, driving in four runs as the Tigers defeated the Washington National, 11-3.

Average Hits .294 The two homers were Boone's 14 and 15th of the season. His performance boosted his batting average to .294 69 points above his June 1 mark. It ran his hitting streak to 14 games. Teen-Ager Bids For Four Titles Tony Efremoff. Could 'Corner' Net Titles Tony Efremoff, a "veteran" tennis competitor on the home front despite the fact that he still is listed in the junior division, might well become the "netman of the year" here.

Entered in all four divisions of the annual City Tennis Tournament, Tony yesterday qualified for quarter and semi-finals in all four the men's singles, men's doubles, junior singles and junior doubles. In the latter event, he is paired with Don Tichenor. The convincing manner in which Tony swept past T. Kings-ley in a men's singles match yesterday convinced bystanders that he's the "man to beat" for the ment's title. He turned back Kingsley with two love-set vie tories, 6-0, 6-0.

Meanwhile Roger Gay was gaming a 6-0, 6-4 victory over Ken Kaiser. This victory sent him against Efremoff in a semi-finals match this morning. The other semi-final match sent Bruce Bre vitz against the winner of the Don Tichenor-D. Hopkins match, also played this morning. A busy day was scheduled for young Efremoff as he also was listed to team with Win Trumbull in a men's doubles event against Bill Hoffhines and Jim Aurand, a junior singles match against J.

Deo and a junior doubles match teamed with Tichenor, against Deo and John Bromley. In other matches Friday, John Deo defeated Don Priestly in the junior singles division, 6-1, 6-1, and Tom Kingsley turned back John Bromley in a fiercely con tested junior singles match, 6-4, 8-10, 7-5. It was the closest match of the tournament to date. Bill Hoffhines and Jim Aurand teamed up to eliminate Bruce Brevitz and Roger Miller in the men's doubles, 6-3, 6-2, while the B. Butler-Jim Messenger duo turned back R.

Camilio Pascual, Washington starter, suffered his ninth defeat in 11 tries. Boone led off the third inning with his first home run. He connected again in the sixth with Al Kaline and Earl Torgeson on base. Detroit's big inning was the second. The Tigers scored five runs on a double by Frank House, singles by Torgeson and Kuenn and a stolen base and wild pitch.

A double by House and a single by Garver added another Tiger tally in the third after Boone's blast into the far centerfield seats. Singles by Kuenn, Kaline and Torgeson accounted for the last Detroit run in the sixth before Boone capped the Tiger scoring with his three-run homer into the lower leftfield seats. Two of Washington's runs came in the sixth when Tommy Umph-lett singled, took second on an error and moved around on two infield outs. Roy Sievers added a run with his 15th homer of the season.

A 4,891. Women's Golf Title Won By First Starter DETROIT (JP) Wiffi Smith, competing for the first time, defeated Sally Sharp, a two-time entry, 6 and 5 yesterday to win the Michigan Women's Amateur Golf Tournament. Miss Smith, the national junior champion who moved to the Detroit area from North Carolina this spring, sank a two-foot putt on. the 13th hole to clinch the scheduled 18-hole final. She was three up over her Birm ingham, opponent with a three-under-par 36 at the turn.

Both finalists are 18 years old. Wiffi defeated Pat Devany of Grosse lie, the 1950 champion, 5 and 4, in the semifinal yesterday morning. Miss Sharp ousted Mrs. Charles Wilson of Ann Arbor, 1951 titlist, 1 up. Lakeview Kiwanis Rallies for Victory The Elks Big Horns went on another scoring rampage to defeat Bellevue 27 to 4, the Lake-view Kiwanis staged a game salvaging rally in the last of the seventh to edge the Gas House House Rangers, 7 to 6, and the Union City team scored a 6 to 1 triumph over Augusta in Senior division games of the Junior baseball program last night.

Trailing 6 to 3 going into the final seventh, the Lakeview boys exploded for four big runs, the tying and winning runs coming after two were out on a double and single. Two doubles, two singles and two bases on balls accounted for the victory surge. The Elks Big Horns scored six runs in the first inning and five more in the second to clinch its little diamond dispute with Bellevue, then just to make the issue the more convincing they added two more runs in the fourth, five in the fifth and finished off with a cluster of nine in the sixth and final inning, the game being called xn account of dark ness after Bellevlue had had its time bat. Bellevue's only runs came in the bottom half of the fifth. The Big Horns collected 23 hits, including two circuits smashes by James and one by Gordie Hjortaas.

Union City won its game from Augusta by scoring four runs in the third after it had taken a 2 to 1 lead in the second.

Carnes and House, Black Sox Booked Here For Sunday Twin Bill Robinson Wins Over Castellani SAN FRANCISCO (JP) Sugar Ray Robinson, fit as a fiddle and raring to go, figures he's ready to bid for the middleweight cham pionship he gave up three years ago for the song-and-dance business. The 140-fight veteran, punching with both fists, got off his knees last night in the Cow Palace ring to pound out a 10-round decision over No. 1 contender Rocky Castellani in the top effort of his comeback bid. A crowd of 8,230 which paid $39,819 greeted the split decision with ringing applause. Robinson a two-one underdog at the bell, earned the nod from Referee Jack Downey and Judge Frank Carter by 56-54 scores.

Judge Jack Silver had Castellani the winner by the same score. The Associated Press card showed Robinson on top, 57-53. "If that's the way that judge saw it, it's okay by me," a grinning Robinson said in the dressing room later. "I was in good shape, and I'll get better." What's next? "I'd like to fight (Bobo) Olson if the public wants the match," Robinson said. Sid Flaherty, the middleweight champion's manager, indicated before the fight that the winner would be given a shot at the title "if terms can be arranged and the price is right." Castellani, top-rated behind Ol son in the division, said he wasn't discouraged.

No-Hit Pitching 'Just Routine' With Eaton Cubs It was a long, hard pull, but the Amvets finally made it and came from behind to score a 16 to 15 victory over the Carton Container team in a division game of the Cub circuit last night, while over on the Bailey No. 9 field, the Michigan Carton Cubs were registering an easy 16 to 4 decision over Hillstone. Results of division Cub games saw the Battle Creek Sportsman's team nosing out Brown's Kewpees, 8 to 6, while the unbeaten Eaton Mfg. Cubs were running up boxscore figures in a 15 to 0 decision over the U.S. Wire Cubs behind the no-hit pitching of Alan Gibbs.

It was Gibbs' second no-hitter of the sea son. Normally, a no hit, no run achievement deserves top rating in any news story, but the basic idea in evaluating news is either its unusualness or the element of surprise. And with young Mr. Gibbs and the Eaton Cubs, a no- hit, no-run achievement is neither unusual nor a surprise. Albeit, Alan capped his five- inning masterpiece by striking out 14 of the 15 players retired by his club.

12 p.m. Chicago at Pittsburgh (2), 12 p.m. The Grand Rapids Black Sox. one of the most popular Michigan teams to invade Battle Creek over the years, have replaced the Sullivan Floor Covering team as od- ponent for Archway Cookies in a big twin program at Bailey Pask fatadium Sunday afternoon. Two full nine-inning games will be played.

Leading the Black Sox into Battle Creek will be none other than Ted Rasberry whose baseball career as player, manaser and magnate carries back over more than 35 years. Currently he owns and directs the Detroit Stars in the Negro American League. Shrewd in the ways of baseball, on and off the field, Rasberry is one of those happy, well-met fellows who makes and holds friends wherever he goes. His Black Sox team this year, he says, is probably the best he has fielded in recent years. The club actually is the "farm" team for the Detroit Stars, but it boasts several professional players from organized baseball, not the least of whom is Reuben Smart, shortstop, from the Texas League, a class AA organization.

Smart was sent home to Grand Rapids on sick leave, he having recently suffered from stomach ulcers. Other bigwigs in the Black Sox lineup here Sunday will be Joe Mins, who was with the New York Giants in spring training this spring and who is slated for another trial next spring; Tracy Howard, a catching teammate of j-rans jtiouse wnen both were members of the Flint Arrows in the old Central League, and Earl Cunningham, a youthful third sacker who is getting further seasoning with the Black Sox after a season with the Detroit Stars last year. Mins probably will start one of the games here, with the choice Peoples 7 HAVE OOZ 1 r-LOCATHiM-HE'S IS 7- BUYING. BUILDING REFINANCINGS IMPROVING Savings' 8 W. MICH.
