Two of the top performances of the day was given by the sophomore relay team of Albert Arnette, Harold Gaither, J. B. Chandler and Buzzy Hammonds. Anchored by the fleet-focted Hammonds, the soph quartet captured the 440 and 880 relays.

Hammonds also won the 220-yard dash and was third in the 100-yard sprint. BOYS DIVISION By BEN FHLEGAB AP Sports Writer If times get tough, Charlie Grimm may be able to sell his secrets on how to win In Ebbets Tield. Grimm's Milwaukee Braves, won six of 11 games there last season. No other vis ting team won more than three. The St.

Louis Cardinals didn't win any. Now the 1954 edition of the Milwaukee wonders are trying to do the job even better. They invaded Brooklyn last night for the first time this season and walked off with a 2-0 triumph. The pitching chores were handled superbly by Gene Conley, a king-sized rookie right-hander. In striking out seven while walking nobody, the 6-foot-S side-arm specialist pinned the first shutout on the Dodgers since June 11 last year, when another Allan Wortb-ington of the New York Giants, turned the trick.

In the American League Joe Coleman of the Baltimore Orioles allowed his former Philadelphia teammates only two hits, both singles, as the Orioles beat the Athletics 2-0. New York defeated Cleveland 5-3, Chicago shaded Boston 2-1 and Washington beat Detroit 5-3. The Giants beat Fred Baczewski for the first time in his career. The Cincinnati left-hander had whipped the New Yorkers five times running until Monte Irvin slammed a 400-foot triple in the eighth Inning with Al Dark on first base. Ted KluszewsU for Cincinnati and Whitey Lockman and Willie Mays for New York hit home runs.

A double by Yogi Berra with two on and two out drove home the runs the Yankees needed to beat Cleveland for the first time this season. The Indians had -won three in a row from the world champions. The Braves won even though they lost one of the most prolonged arguments of the season. A seventh inning drive by Eddie Mathews bounced off a railing atop the center field fence and fell back on the field. Umpire Engelin ruled It a double since Mathews got only as far as second before the Dodgers tried to make a play on him.

Umpire Bill Stewart called it a home run and waved Mathews in. The Dodgers screamed. The four umpires huddled. The Braves screamed. But in the end Mathews was sent back to second.

Despite the ruling, the drive scored Danny O'Connell from first base with Milwaukee's second run. The first came on Joe Adcock's home run. Elsewhere in the National League the New York Giants defeated Cincinnati 5-4 and Philadelphia -edged Chicago 8-7 in 10 innings. The St. Louis-Pirates game at Pittsburgh was rained out.

I had a tour around the Jackson Golf and Country Club course with some of the golfers that were slamming the ball around during the past weekend.

One thing that struck me is the potential of any one golfer. They ire just so good and never get a stroke better. One golfer can get some pars and birdies, others get a few birdies and pars, but theVian that has all the shots and can control them is the man that shoots that low score. No weekend golfer can keep in stroke with the daily golfer if he is real serious about his game. I watched Albert Stone Jr.

and Jimmy Wittenburg play with Hillman Robbins. The first two are more or less weekend golfers and perhaps have reached their peak some time ago. Robbins, one would think, has reached his peak, but I do not think so. He has some low scores left in the clubs and will be around for some time. Mary and I tried the fishing at Pickwick Saturday morning.

Having heard that the striped bass and crappie were going wild down there, thought it would be a good time to wet a few spinners. Well the fishing was bad and slow. The. catfish fleet was in, many of the small boats were driving up close to the dam and cutting the motor for the drift down stream with minnows, worms and shad hooked on the end of the line. For some reason the cats did not bite.

Perhaps fresh water or cold and cloudy weather had them off stride. Both banks were full of bank fishermen and women, and I mean full. From the boat docks down the lake all the way to the dam, they were standing elbow to elbow and not taking too many fish. Above the dam, the boats were headed for fish haven Dry Creek, harbor 208 and the one spot that seems to be the best right now, Yellow Creek. I did not see any of the boats that returned to the boat dock so do not know what the fish were doing.

I did see two good strings of crappie that were caught on minnows in the sauger pit. Charles and Mrs. Todd, and Earl and Mrs. Martin had long strings of the white perch. However, they were the only ones that caught them.

Clarence Rushing Jr. and Mrs. Virgil Todd were bait-fishing from the bank and Mrs. Todd had the fish moving in. She had a big day with the carp.

Charles Loyens and James Cannon were fishing the same water and had some trouble in locating the biting Bob Barnhill and W. S. Hutcher-pon were on tkC way for the crappie tops when I passed them at Pickwick. Fred Pendergrast was bank fishing at Pickwick, and Herman Rogers, Claude Winslow and Albert Fly were dunking spinners and Canadian Football Telecasts Set Up For Coming Season GirDs Won Day Afteeft Kendall, Sr; Welch, Sr; Stegall, Soph. 17 ft 5 in.

Over his office door they had hung a floral greeting which said, "Well done, Tom!" It might have added, "That's showing the so-and-sos." The college group, it perhaps should be explained, took its "Game of the Week" away from Gallery's stable at its meeting on April 23 and awarded it to the rival ABC. Since yet another well-known televising firm, Du Mont, holds all rights to National League games, this appeared to have sawed the limb off behind Tom. Actually It only served to rouse the former West Coast promoter, and now look.

Starting on Aug. 28, a month before his rivals can swing into action, Gallery will start screening games of the Canadian. "Big Four" Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton. This figures to give the country's fans a good chance to learn and become attracted to Canadian 12-man football before there is a rival in the field. By the time the first college coast-to-coaster comes around.

Gallery feels he'll have his audience nailed down, with not a channel-switcher in a roomful. He and his associates, including Lindsey Nelson, who will be exported to explain and describe the game to the American audience, are convinced that the speed of the Canadian game (no time-outs) will have a big appeal. Additionally, each of the Canadian teams carries up to 10 former college or professional stars from' this country. It seems reasonable that many thousands of fans will "be anxious to see their heroes in action again.

Market Phone 7-7281 1C By GENE PEARCE Jackson High School's juniors took top honors in the boys' events while the senior girls outscored their opponents in the Fifth Annual May Day Track and Field Meet on the Rothrock Field track Tuesday afternoon. Led by Art Beuhlar in the field events and Joe Coughlin in the track competition, the hustling junior boys piled up 64 points to easily outdistance the second-place seniors, who tallied 44 points. The sophomores were third with 32 points and the undermanned freshmen failed to score. Outstanding individual performer of the day was senior girl Mary Lou Coughlin almost single-handedly led he class to the feminine championship. She registered 23 of the 29 points scored by the seniors in their decisive victory.

The juniors were second with nine points, followed by the sophomores and freshmen with eight points each. In overall class scoring, the juniors and seniors finished with exactly the same number of points 73 each. Beuhler tallied 11 points to lead all boys, while junior classmate Couglin notched 10. Jimmy Deaton of the seniors was close behind the leaders with nine points. Mary Coughlin's big point effort is emphasized by the fact that she won four of six girls' events and placed second in another.

Second high scorer among the girls was Junior Barbara McAbee with eight points, while Mickey McKenzie, sophomore, was third with six points. In the boys' dvision, the juniors took the first three places in the two mile and high jump, along with wins in the shot put, 440-yard dash, mile relay, medley relay and shuttle relay. Repeating their one-two perform Oilers Gain Victory Over Generals OWENSBORO, May 11 The Owensboro Oilers scored 10 runs in the first innings and then coasted to a 12-5 victory over the Jackson Generals here Tuesday night.

Vance Byrd started for Jackson but was belted in the fourth by the Oilers after giving up 10 runs. Richard Hardish stopped Owens boro with two runs and four hits in the final 4 13 innings. Manage'- Lou Lucas was impres sive at shortstop in his first start of the season for the Generals. He lashed a triple in his first time at bat and war robbed of base hits on sensational fielding plays in his next two appearances. Big gun in the winning attack was center fielder Vic Caradonna with a double and three singles in four times at bat.

The speedy fly- chaser stole three bases including home. Oiler right fielder Richie Windle slammed a first inning home run that traveled some 400 feet over the center feld fence.

"In these tournaments the play er would receive points by the position in which he finished, one if he finishes first, two if he fin ishes second, three for third, etc. Then, his combined score for his 15 tournaments would be totalled and divided by It. The player with the best average then, would be declared the most valuable player, who in my mind, also would be the equivalent to the best golfer in the United States.

Now our buddies from beyond the border are preparing to move in on the colleges themselves, with an assist from the National Broad casting Co. The next yelp of pain you hear will come from the NCAA.

Dick Bartell, Cincinnati Redleg coach, played 2,016 games during his major league career and compiled a .284 lifetime average. By WILL GRIMSLEY NEW YORK. May 12 tf-Dr Cary Middlecoff had a new pre scription for golf today he sug gested the fairway boys pick a "most valuable player" the way it's done in baseball. "We have come to regard our National Open Tournament as a symbol for picking our best players," the tall, Memphis dentist said. "But it's a shame for us to pick a champion on four rounds of golf.

"We have also attached a lot of importance in the past to the leading money winners which has been a good gauge. But now sponsors are turning up with $50,000 bonanzas such as the Tarn Shan ter.
