All vm siiniGu maw nji Kiss TTo'Waldiiv tmlm JNJili tflMt Jackson High Golden Bears Face Powerful Pqabody High At Trenton's Freed Field By- JACK HILLIARD Sun Sports Editor Jackson High will take on powerful Peabody High Friday night at Trenton's Freed Field in what may- well be the "make or break" effort of the year for the Golden Trenton, after a stunning 20-19 defeat of out-of-shape Dyersburg, is solidly rated as the team to beat in Big Ten play. The Tide obviously has one of the best teams they have had in years. They lack only depth. By ED WIUKS Manager Al Lopez gave it to his Cleveland Indians straight today It's overconfidenc-e, not the New York Yankees, they have to watch tf A.

Hank Bauer made his 18th homer a two-run shot in the fifth off reliefer Steve Gromek. Bob Turley won his 16th, and third straight, for the Yanks, He gave five hits only one in the last five frames for his second straight shutout and sixth of the year. Three walks, two singles, a sacrifice fly, a wild pitch and Bob Nieman's triple fashioned Chicago's six-run ninth.

The last-place Orioles had led on Jim Dyck's grand-slam homer off Jack Harsh-man in the first inning. In the first game, Ray Moore blanked the Sox of six hits, while the Orioles made the most of four walks and six hits to beat Virgil Trucks. Vic Power singled home the winning run in the 12th off Ellis Kinder in the first game at Boston. Kinder, Boston's relief ace, lost his third straight. Jimmy Piers all and Faye Throneberry ea-ch swatted two-run homers to pull the Bosox from behind in the night- i I 3 1 'Vtj day night, sweeping a twi-night pair from th pesty Washington Senators 3-1 and 8-2 and moving out to a two-game lead over the Yankees.

But irstead of wboopin it up. Lopez warned that "we've still got a- long way to go." Just 24 hours before, Lopez had laid, "we'll be in an excellent position to win the pennant" if the Indians could beat the Senators. Now you get the idea Lopez knows Cleveland has won it the big worry is not to lose it The Yanks, who flattened Detroit 6-0 Tuesday, still are a game shy on the lost side with 11 games left. Cleveland has nine to play. Chicago and Boston practically fell by the wayside.

The third-place White Sox had to rally for six runs in! the ninth to salvage a twi-night split at Baltimre, winning 9-6 after a 2-0 defeat. They're 4Vi back now. Boston, losing a- 12-inning opener to Kansas City 6-5, rallied to win the nightcap 7-6. That left the Red Sox sever, games back. The Indians, winning 13 of the last 16, thumped the Senators on a pair of six-hitters by Mike Garcia and Bob Lemon.

Garcia won his 11th in the opener, snapping Wash TRENTON'S TIDE will be led Friday night in their annual contest with Jackson High by co-captains Alfred Barker, left, and Cliff Scott. Barker is one of the area's top linemen, while Scott is considered as the finest running back in West Tennessee. Marciano Is In Top Shape; Moore's Trainers Confident the finest in the state. Walter Kilzer. has a reputation for turning out winning teams at Peabody a reputation he upholds each faU.

In addition to Kilzer, Trenton has coach Bobby Cotham. This year the top boys include: ends, Jimmy Barker and John Oliver; tackles, Bub King and Robert guards, Alfred Barker and Johnny Belew; center, Jerry Branch; and backs, Jerry Ferguson, Cliff Scott, Bobby Richardson, and Shorty Harrison. The Tide employs an average ground game coupled with a superb passing attack spearheaded by Ferguson. Scott, liver, and the long tosses of the Peabody Barker offer excellent targets for quarter. Jackson's passing attack surprised even coaches Jim Joyner and John "Peaches" Pechonick with its effectiveness.

While every pass thrown looked as if it would die on the way, most of them reached their intended marks. The Bears feature the running of Albert Arnett and P. V. Mount at the halfs and William Stegall at full. Phil Noe handles the quarterback chores.

Sophomore Bill Tubbs understudies Noe, and is one of the better defensive backs on the team. Jackson's line is led by Adam "Tank" Gay. vOther standout linemen include Charles Allison, Buster Allison, D. D. Cop-pedge, Frankie Davis, David Frye, Bruce Vestal, Mike Dennis, Harold Gaither.

Pigskin gloves keep their softness if you add a few drops of glycerin to the last rinse water during washing. in years. They have a hard-working group of willing youngsters with more than a spattering of talent, but are woefully lacking in experience. The oft-heard question, "What happened at Camden?" is easily answerablean inspired group of better-than-average Camden Lions simply made their breaks by recovering a bumper crop of fumbles and taking advantage of a number of penalties. One fumble was hatched in the end zone for a touchdown immediately, while another came on the Jackson four and was soon racked up on the Lion scoreboard as six points.

Penalties forced Jackson back 185 yards in the game, and it's to the credit of the team that they could regain them and quite a few more to eventually recover from behind a 19-6 post to rally for a 19-19 tie. What happened? Nothing that can't be changed. Actually there were few mistakes made( operational mistakes that is, and those that were committed were of he usual number among high school teams. While the Bears were fumbling away chances, Trenton was also having to come from behind to win against Dyersburg. While the Tide didn't fumble, they were caught several time for 15-yard penalties when they had Dyersburg stopped and the Trojans were in the process of kicking.

Two of the three Dyersburg TDs were evntually chalkd up as a result of those penalties. The Jackson-Trenton series, through the years, has been one of Bob Lemon Yank, tripled home two runs and scored the third on Bobby Avila's sacrifice fly in big third inning against loser Chuck Stobbs. Larry Doby batted in four runs. St. Louis handed Brooklyn's National League champs a third straight defeat 8-2.

The Cards clouted 11 hits off Karl Spooner and four reliefers. Johnny Antonelli won his 13th and drove home four runs with two singles, a double and a home run as the New York Giants peppered Milwaukee 9-1. Philadelphia smacked Chicago for 15 hits, beating the Cubs 10-0, and Pittsburgh knocked off Cincinnati 5-2. The Senators, who had whipped Cleveland in 12 of 19 games this Mike Garcia triples "but produced Just one run. Ray Narleski relieved Lemon after eight-innings.

The Yankees used an error by Fred Hatfield, a walk, two singles and Elston Howard's two-run triple to chase young Bob Miller and year, kicked in three errors as Lemon hung up his 18th victory in the nightcap. The first three hits off the big right-hander were ington's five-game streak against the Tribe. Gene Woodling, the ex- five or six said manager Charley Johnston. "In my book," said Johnston, "Archie should be the 13 to "5 favorite, not Marciano. Is it' because Marciano's supposed to be such a puncher? "Marciano must have' hit Don Cockell about 300 punches and it took him nine rounds to catch up to him.

You saw what Nino Valdes did to Cockell and Moore beat Valdes. Archie will jab him silly, bust him up and knock him out in five or six rounds." Second Bertie Briscoe agreed with Johnston. Briscoe says "five rounds, that's all." eirs Wifthd'urt: Minraeclhie, GROSSINGER, N.Y. (31 Heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano allowed today as he is in the best shape of his career. He said he intends to start out fast gainst Archie Moore next Tuesday when he defends his title at New York's Yankee Stadium.

"I feel as though everything is working out perfectly for this fight," said the champion. "I feel better than ever before. "I plan to start real fast.
