Lion ace Marshall Duffy will be By JACK HAND. Associated Press Sports Writer The Pittsburgh "pick-me-up" is a sure fire remedy for woozy.

National League contenders. One trip to Fred Haney's clinic and the ailing patient is young at heart. Philadelphia took the cure Sunday and shot into a second place tie with New York and Brooklyn, only lVi games behind the leading Milwaukee Braves. Now it's the Giants' turn to visit the health spa. The Phils and Dodgers have found the Pirates oh so helpful in the first quarter of the season.

If the Phils hadn't thumped the Pirates in six of eight and the Dodgers hadn't beaten them in eight of 10, both clubs would be under the .500 mark. The league closed in on Milwaukee Sunday when St. Louis knocked off the Braves, 3-2, for Harvey Haddix's seventh victory. Brooklyn bested New York, 5-3, the Phils dumped the Pirates twice, 8-0 and 10-7 and Chicago split two with Cincinnati. Thet Cubs took the opener, 7-5, the first start for ex-outfielder Hal Jeffcoat but Cincinnati rallied to take the second, 6-5, called by darkness after eight innings.

It's only five games from first to seventh (Milwaukee to Chicago) but the Pirates already are 13 games behind. Cleveland finally shook off Chic- Warren Spahn followed the homer. A crowd of 47,672, tops for the season in the National, Jammed the Polo Grounds for the Dodger-Giant game, won by Jonny Po-dres who had to leave in the ninth inning due to a tightening In his shoulder. Roy Campanella returned to action for -the first time since his hand operation but went hitless in four trips. Jeffcoat, starting a new career as a pitcher at the age of 29, held the slugging Cincinnati club to four hits until he had to leave in the ninth inning of the opener because of a finger blister.

Mike Garcia held Detroit to four hits to keep Cleveland moving with their 14th straight hometown victory. Bobby A Vila helped him along with two doubles, bosting his league-leading average to .387. Eddie Waitkus and Jim Fridley hit homers that helped Don Lar-sen to his second victory and ended the White Sox's win spree. Al Sima, making his first start of the season, was tagged with the defeat. Nixon put down a Yankee threat in the ninth by retiring Andy Carey with two men on to save a decision over Jim McDonald.

Mickey Vernon and Wayne Ter-williger homered behind McDer-mot in Washington's first game victory over Philadelphia. ego's challenge to open up a one-gc'me lead in the American, defeating Detroit 3-1 while Chicago's eight-game winning streak was broken by Baltimore, 5-2. The victory snapped the Orioles out of a 10-game losing slump. Boston added to Casey Stengel's worries, beating the New York Yankees, 3-1 on Willard Nixon's four-hitter Washington shut out Philadelphia, 6-0, behind Maury McDermott but the A's came back to get an even break, winning the second 6-5, on Ed McGhee's pinch double in the last of the ninth. "At the quarter pole, the National League looks like a seven-team scramble.

The American already has shoved four clubs Into the "also ran" class. Robin Roberts pitched his third shutout, a seven-hitter, in the Phils' first game romp over the Pirates, spoiling Dick Littlefield's first National League start. The Phils continued to bombard Pirate pitching in the second, making a total of 27 hits in the two games, with Willie Jones and Richie Ash-burn each collecting five hits for the day's work. Karl Drews was the second game winner on relief over Bob Friend. The Cardinals, who broke Milwaukee's 10-game winning streak Saturday night, made it two in a row with a big first inning in which Red Schoendienst hit a home run.

Four successive singles off i By JOHN What To Do There is a distinct possibility and even probability that the Kitty League will be faced with a dilemma within the next day or two. Judging from repeated rumbling on the loca. scene, Jackson's Generals are about ready to give up the losing battle. Nothing official has been forthcoming from owner Hiram Hopper or Business Manager Pete Mucci, but for over a week persons close to the situation have been pointing to June 1 as the date when the Generals are most likely to fold. The end is likely to come after tomorrow night's game against Madisonville at Municipal Park.

On Wednesday, Jackson is scheduled to travel to Mayfield to open a three-game series. Our feeling is that they will never make the trip. This is merely a guess, but there is fairly good basis for the opinion. In the first place, Owner Hiram Hopper cannot continue to operate the club without home attendance. Secondly, attendance would be hard to bet even with a winning team so there's little chance for the Generals to draw crowds with tneir present xecord.

Fulton Pays Expenses Thirdly, the Generals came close to not making the recent ill-fated trip to Madisonville and were prevailed upon to do so only when it was pointed out that the team should at least hold on until the Memorial Day doupleheader today. That was pointed to as a possible big attendance day. Fourthly, Fultoa had to pay Jackson $50 for expenses on each of the games that the Generals played there in the series just ended. Thi is highly unusual since the visiting team always takes care of all its expenses on the road but fattens up by keeping all proceeds for horn games. Fifthly, it Is hard to believe that Mayfield will be willing to play Jackson's expenses for the trip up there and the lodging of the players after they get there Sixthly, with the continued losing pitted against the Doctors equally adept Joe Roland.

This year's Babe Ruth League will have six rather than the four teams playing last year. New teams added this year are Knights of Pythias and Dr. Pepper. Returning nines are the Doctors Association, Lions Club, Jackson Motors and Colonial Bakery. Games will be played on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights, with rained out games to be made up on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

This week's Tuesday night program lists the Bakers against Dr-Pepper at 6:45 and Knights of Pythias against the Lions at 8:45 p.m. College Park, home of the Babe Ruth League, is located at the east end of College Street and is behind Parkview Grammar School. League President Tom Voegeli advises persons who intend to ride buses to league games to take the East Chester Street bus and get oif at Parkview School. It is only a short through the school yard to the field. The defending champion Doctors will present a potent line-up for to-lighi's game at 6:45.

Manager Robert E. Richardson listed the fol able to sweep a doubleheader and the twin victories over Mobile. 3-2 and 5-3, lifted the Pels into third place ahead of Chattanooga. The Lookouts split with Nashville, losing the opener 8-6 and wining the nightcap 2-0. Memphis beat Little Rock 6-2 in the first game but dropped the second 5-3.

Atlanta's was not the only Southern Association streak yesterday's action ended. Chattanooga snapped an eight-game losing string, and in so doing ended Nashvile's five-game winning a k. Birmingham's victory over the Crackers was its first after six straight loses and Little Rock won its first game at home after 10 successive defeats there. Little Rock's Jim Buaning pitched no-hit ball for four innings and had a 2-1 lead over the Chicks until the eight. Then, with two away, Jim Baumer Pete Crackers' Win String Broken By Birmingham Baron Rookie Johnny Palmer Looks To Western Open After Winning Colonial Invitational Title By HAROLD V.

RATLIFF FORT WORTH, Tex. UPWohny Palmer added $5,000 to his bank account, saw himself climb to fifth place among the nation's money winners and looked toward the Western Open at Cincinnati today as they toasted him at Colonial Country Club for a great finish that gave him first place in the Colonial National Invitation Golf Tournament. The steady veteran from Car-Iotte, N. closed with his second straight 1-under-par 69 Sunday for a 72-hole total of 280 and a 2-stroke victory. Great chiping and sensational recovery shots gave Palmer his second tournament victory of the year.

Freddie Hass, New Orleans, registering his second consecutive 68, had finished with 282 when Palmer Generals Tie Loss Record; Shoot For New Mark Today In Day-Night Doubleheader FULTON, May 31 Despite six Fulton errors bringing about a Jackson uprising in the late innings, the Jackson Generals dropped their 25th straight game, 10-9, Sunday afternoon to tie the all-time Kitty League consecu-ive game losing record. Jam's Leaves Fine Record To Shoot At For Ole Miss Possibility Of Rain Worries Drivers Of 38th 500-Miler D. CRAHAM streak, all has not been sweetness and light between Manager Lou Lucas and Owner Hopper. Neither evidently feels that the other is doing the best job. possible for the team.

Seventhly. but what's the use of going on. Franchise Not Wanted Kitty League President Shelby Peace is desperately attempting to prevent the complete disappearance of the Jackson, franchise. Except for Jackson, the Kitty League is in good financial shape this season, according to Peace. If Jackson folds, the league will have to drop another team and become a six-team circuit.

But all of the other seven teams are anxious to continue. Peace has explored the possibility of some other community taking the local franchise, but the answer is no on all sides. No other city is interested Bowling Green has no park suitable for Kitty League ball but is planning on building an American Legion Memorial Field this year and probably will try to get back in the league in 1955. Clarksville is not interested at all and Dyersburg has had enough dealings with the Kitty League to make its most rabid baseball promoters a bit leery. Buck Ozment, a key figure in any move to bring baseball to Dyersburg, said this morning that he knows of no one in Dyersburg that would be the least bit interested in bringing Jackson's franchise there.

As lor himself, Ozment said rather bitterly that the less dealing he has with Shelby Peace, the better. The Dyersburger is still unhappy over what he felt was unfair dealing in past efforts to obtain a Kitty League franchise for his community. All in all, the Kitty League faces a dilemna. Jackson may continue in the league If it does, the league or Hiram Hopper personally will have to finance the franchise. You can bet your boots that current attendance Is not paying the way.

Most of the deaths occurred in the early days of two-man cars. All the cars now are single seat-ers, with much improved tires and chassis. No one has been killed in the race proper since William (Shortly) Cantlon hit the wall in 1947.

If Roger Banister of England hadn't streaked 3:59.4 in the mile earlier this month, Santee's Saturday night performance in the Missouri Valley AAU Track Championships would be a world's record.

May 31 Robert (Cob) Jarvis added the last of numerous Johnny Reb athletic records when he was named to the 1954 All-Southeastern baseball team. For the lanky Boone ville. senior, the story had this twist: he thereby became the first Ole Mis'-, athlete to earn All-Southeastern status in more than one sport. Jarvis made bis own way in basketball and baseball and plans to continue in at least one activity as a pro. It's possible he can double up in play-for-pay ranks and that will be his goal for at least another year.

He was All-Southeastern in basketball in 1952-53. as a junior, that winter setting 14 new Ole Miss records. He expanded on the Reb record total last season in repeating as a SEC all-star, and thereby became the first Johnny Reb eager to win more than one all-conference rating. In 1952-53 he was a member of the NCAA District IV (All-South) team even though the Rebels didn't compete in the sectional tournament. He was entitled to three seasons of varsity participation in basketball and baseball and won three letters in both sports as a regular.

Making his first appearance in a Birmingham uniform, outfielder Lou Sklzas banged a lme-drtve sacrifice that scored Herb Plews with the run that gave Birmingham a 5 4 victory.

Atlanta won the first game 4-3, with Montag's home run In the fifth with one on putting the Crackers ahead for good. Atlanta's victory string fell two shy of a club record and four shy of tie league record set by the 1927 Birmingham club.

In both sports, twice with basketball injuries carrying over into baseball. Had not Jarvis missed two games during the 1952-53 cage campaign he would have led the SEC in scoring.

As it was, he counted 557 points in 24 games to press close, esclipsing the old conference record of 540 set by Kentucky's Cliff Hagan.

of Richmond, 5 and 3. By DALE BURGESS I INDIANAPOLIS Thirty-three veteran auto racers worried more about the possibility of rain today during the 38th annual 500-mile race than about their occupational hazard, death. Even a sprinkle could bring out the yellow caution flag that prevents a driver from improving his position and ruin the chances of cars back of the leaders. It's a race if it goes 252 miles. Some of the hotest drivers in the field were spotted far back for the start, due to mechanical troubles that kept them from rualify-ing on the first day of the time trials.

They had about four hours to advance in the race and figured they'd need all of it with Jack McGrath starting first. McGrath had made no secret of his intention to stay in front all but the way if possible. One good reason was that the speedway pays $150 extra to a driver for each lap he leads, a tidy $30,000 for leading all the way. The purse, about $250,000, was Sports Briefs By TIIE ASSOCIATED PRESS Paris Ji.mil Zatopek of Czechoslovakia broke the world record for the run with a 13:57.2 clocking in an international track meet.

In bowing to Fulton yesterday, the Generals equalled a 32-year old record established by the Paducah Chifrfs at the end of the 1922 baseball campaign. Fulton jumped away to an early 10-2 lead over the Generals by the fourth inning but Vance Byrd took the hill in that frame and blanked the heavy-hitting Lookouts the rest of the way.
