Attendanre By CHARLES KARMOSKY Sports Editor JIaybe Mike Lemish started something Monday night when he set down the Richmond Colts. Big Bob Hubbard followed up with an eight-hit-performance last night and al- though his mates were outhit they came out on the long end, 3-2. Manager John Fitzpatrick's men were able to earner but five hit fcut they bunched them adequately to give Hubbard has seventh win as against nine losses. Last night's win pulled them up another game in the Piedmont standings and they now stand Just two games out of fourth place and a chance to get into the Shaughnes-sy playoffs. HUBBARD EFFECTIVE Hubbard pitched effectively and the fact that he allowed only three bases on balls tells the story.

The free tickets have caused more trou ble and plenty of losses for the Baby Bams but Hubbard wouldn't allow it' last night He didn't strike out any Colts but he kept the eight hits well enough scattered. Three of the bingles he allowed helped the Colts score their lone two runs the second inning. His removal in the ninth was done because of strategy. peorge Sumey was tough for the locals and was stingy with his five hits but not enough to horrvcollar the Fitzpatrickers. The Dodgers suffered a possible dire loss the seventh when they eoored their tying and winning runs.

Joe DeStefano came in with the run that knotted the count but when he did he was Injured and had to be carried from the diamond. DODGERS LEAD Fitzpatrick's crew got off to an early iead when they scored a run In their half of the first stanza. Pres Elkins walked, took second on an error and counted when Bill Anto-nello banged out a double scoring him. Richmond came back in the second to take a lead that took on greater importance with each Inning until the Dodgers broke the spell in the seventh. Manager Bob Lotshaw took first on a free ticket and Al Tiedemann reached first on an error by Anto-nello.

Joe Reeves sacrificed and then Fete Pavlick singled to score, Lotshaw and Hardin, the latter scoring on an error bv Jack Elkins. SCORE WINNING RUNS The Dodgers bounded back with the victory making runs in the seventh when Steve Lembo started the rally with his second hit of the day, a single. Hubbard sacrificed and was safe on a fielders' choice. DeStefano forced Lembo but then Pres Elkins tingled to count Hubbard. irewport News' winning run came In when Parker reached first on Cotton Bagwell's second error, and DeStefano moved to third, scoring When Soddy Groat grounded out.

Richmond threatened when pinch hitter Pete Pavich singled after two were out but Frank Wilson came in to face Pavlick, who popped out to ires Elkins. The Dodgers leave today to meet riorioiK there three days and then return here for a single game with the Tars Saturday. The league-lead Ing Red Sox come iri Sunday for a tnree-day stay.

N. Aug. 5 (VP) The heralded "International flavor" that spiced the early rounds of the Eastern grass courts championships was all but erased today at the Orange Lawn Tennis club when all six seeded foreign men and one ranked foreign women were shunted to the sidelines. What made the blow particularly hard to take from the standpoint of the visitors was the fact that all except one were eliminated by un seeded Americans.

Only Gardnar Lamed of Chicago, rated No. 10 on the American 6ide, was called upon to stop a foreign entrant. He whipped J. H. Mehta, of the Indian Davis cup team, seeded fifth, 7-5, 6-3, in a third round match.

Mehta's two team-mates, S. C. Misra, No. 2, and Man Mohan, No. 3, also absorbed straight-set lickings, the former at the hands of Clarence (Nick) Carter of San Francisco, 6-2, 6-2, and Mohan from Earl Cochell of Forrest Hills, N.

6-0, 6-3, both in third round tests. Jack Tuero of New Orleans took care of top-seeded Enrique Morea of Argentina, 6-2, 11-9 and Frank Shields of New York, polished off J. Peten of Belgium, No. 4, 6-3, 6-4, each in the third round. Former Wlmbleton champion Sidney Wood, of New York, completed the route with a 6-3, 6-4 second round victory over Vinicius Rurac of Romania.

The foreign women were treated with more hospitality, only the beautiful Kay Stammers Menzies of Great Britain, second seeded, bow ing out of the play. She was ousted by blonde Louise Snow of Bakers-ville, 0-6. 6-4, 8-6. Nats Probe Overpaying Washington, Aug. 5.

UP) Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington Senators, said today he will send a reiiresentative to Havana in "about a week" to investigate charges that the Havana Cubans are exceeding the player salary limit In the Florida International baseball league. Griffith said the Senators own "about a half interest" in the Ha vana team. He added he "knew nothing about" the alleged overpayments. He told a reporter that either Eddie Eynon. Washington business manager, or his son, Calvin Griffith, vice president of the Cubans, will investieate the "basis" of the charges in Havana and in Miami.

A league meeting to consider the matter, scheduled for Thursday in Miami, was postponed at his request, Griffith said, to permit time for the preliminary investigation. Buccos Grab 12-4 Victory On Loose Pitching By Reds PITTSBURGH, Aug. 5 (IP) The Pittsburgh Pirates jumped on four Cincinnati hurlers for 11 hits and ten bases on balls today to gain a 12 to 4 victory over the Reds.

Only five of the baker's dozen were given mc than the chances a hot dog turned loose among the hungry thousands pouring to this sleepy village In the Orange county hills. And as far as the grizzled old-timers, gathering from all over the country for the trotting horse's annual top day as usual, the one to beat was a giant bargain-counter stepper from Dixie tagged Rodney, who has whipped practically everything in 6ight up to now.

This was Ju about a sure-pop cinch to be tne fanciest hayseed scramble of them all un here at Smilin' Bill's horse track, which is shaped like an ice cream cone without the ice cream sticking out at the end. They'd already sold 18.000 tickets up to tonight, and that figure alone was far over the previous record attendance high of 16.390 which the city flickers and their country cousins set a year ago. Altogether, the Hambletonian crystal-ball lookers were guessing at a 20,000 figure, which Is going to have Goshen pop, 3.073 on the other 364 days of the year, bursting out at etuieo. After Mize homered in the 8th, the Giants loaded the bases but Rowe fanned Koslo and Rigney to end the irame. The three homers boosted the Giants' total to 151 for the season.
