44 ose 7 -o 9 Australian Upsets Gonzales in British Net Meet Quids Giants Inp SoxL TIME OUT! By Jeff Keate Rush Blows Ball Past Lip's Gang CHICAGO Rookie Catcher Ralph Novotney drove home three runs Saturday on a fly ball and single to spark Chicago Cubs to a 4-1 triumph over the New York Giants. Hank Sauer accounted for Three Other Yankees in Round of 8 LONDON (AP) Richard (Pan-cho) Gonzales, 21-year-old U. S. singles titleholder, was spilled out of the Wimbledon tennis championships Saturday in a sensational upset by the two-handed shots of Australia's Geoff Brown. Prime Minister Attlee and some 17,000 other sweltering fans saw the second-seeded Los Angeles husky bow out In just one hour and 13 minutes on Wimbledon's famed center court, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 61.

All the other seeded stars gained the men's singles quarter-finals with straight-set triumphs, including top-seeded Ted Schroeder of La Crescenta, defending WRESTLIN0 TV. M- Hi WM 6 '25 "Aw, c'mon just i too- Fist '4 u) XA "1 JV f-'i -j its Boyish Phils Devoted to Kindly Boss TOM R. BRISLIN PHILADELPHIA (INS) They're playing ball by the "Golden Rule" instead of the cracking whip on the youngster-packed Philadelphia Phillies today. And therein lies the secret for the amazing success of the Blue-jays in tjie current National League pennant scramble. The Phils have been playing better than .700 ball since Memorial day.

Time was, only last season in fact, when the youngsters on the Phillies were lashed by the biting tongue of Ben Chapman, a charter member of the "treat 'em rough" school of managers. Kids like Del Ennis, Robin Roberts, Gran Hamner, and Richie Ashburn aren't creampuffs in any sense of the word, but they just didn't react to the Chapman treatment. The average age of the Phils is an amazing 23 years, probably the youngest aggregation in the majors. Then along came affable Eddie Sawyer, college professor turned baseball manager, to pilot the Jays. Instantly, the atmosphere on the Phillies cleared.

Sawyer scrapped the whip cracked by the fiery Chapman and replaced it with soft words of encouragement and guidance. The complete opposite of Chapman, the scholarly Sawyer invoked his "golden rule" plan for managing the club. He's been following that method ever since and the results speak for themselves. For the first time in many, many years the Phillies are a definite pennant threat. The young players handled by Sawyer are giving their understanding manager everything they have and enjoy playing under his direction.

Eddie says he doesn't consciously use psychology to handle his young players, but adds: "It's kind of hard to explain something like that. I just treat them as I wanted to be treated when I was a player." Sawyer modestly disavows personal credit for the Phillies' great play this season and insists the Speculating ln sprts Antone Gherra, manager of the Hammond Moose softies, was quite pleased with the turnout for that game with the Atlanta Baileys and thinks Softball could get bigtime locally if facilities were available. The Moose were in Kankakee last night and had a game in Peoria today. Incidentally, Eddie Price, who played last year with Hammond in the National Softball Loop (they've now changed the name to Fastball), is leading the leaeue with a .485 BA. Eddie hit onlv .247 here last year.

Now's the time to think GIVEN a chance to break Into the linup when George Stirnwelu, regular second saclcer, went out with iniuries, Jerry Coleman, Iim young rookie, has been clicking for the Yankees as a second base man. Coleman, who played short, second and third for Newark last year, has beeno ne of tne rookie surprises of year. (International) SPORTS PARADE i By JACK CUDDY OP Sport Writr NEW YORK. (UP) King Ranch's Assault, ex-champion of the turf, has returned to competition after an absence of 16 months; and' his apparent soundness presaged a brilliant comeback, despite a photofinish defeat ln his first conditioning test Most of the New York racing writers were eonvinced that the six-year-old son of Bold Venture could have beaton Michigan 3rd (n the seven-furlong Glengarry purse at Aqueduct if his apprentice Jockey had "ridden him out" It seemed, however, that "Bounding Bill" Boland of Corpus Chrlsti, permitted the chestnut horse to ease up in the stretch and lose his half-length lead as if the former world champion money winner were being ridden merely through a morning workout. you'll want in October.

Don't say youweren't reminded. Golf dates include: Hammond Times tourney, July 24 (Burnham) and July 31 (Woodmar) Tam O'Shanter All-American, Aug. 5 and District K. of C. at Wicker park, Aug.

7. Boland's Benignity and his refusal to resort to the whip infuriated many of the enthusiasts whose money had backed Assault down to the short tote-price of 7-20. However, Trainer Max Hlrsch said he was well satisfied with Assault's showing. He was confident that if "a stronger boy" had ridden the chestnut horse, he would have beaten Michigan 3rd an Argentine newcomer, running his first U. S.

race. Jays have been going good because he has a team without stars." "I couldn't really single out any one player as holding us up there," Eddie says. "We really are a team." "And I guess you could say we're on our way now. Our players are beginning to feel their oats." Sawyer thinks his young club will step up, rather than slow down its pace during the hot days ahead. He isn't worrying about "pennant fever" bothering the team down the stretch.

"We're a young ball club, improving right along," Eddie declares. "I certairfly admire the enthusiasm and hustle of my players and their youth will help a lot in July and August, the hot months." The friendly Phillies mentor believes his pitching, shaky earlier in the season, is in fine shape now. And if it holds up as Sawyer hopes, one gets the definite impression that Eddie wouldn't be too surprised to see the National League pennant waving from the flagpole at Shibe park come the other Chicago run with his ninth homer of the season.

The Speculator wanted Gus Hockale-vich to demonstrate putting but the guy replied, "For How Much?" Early Homer Champ Dies WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (UP) James (Buck) Freeman, who held the major league home run record until Babe Ruth came along, died in Mercy hospital early Saturday after a stroke. He was 77. Freeman was one of the outstanding sluggers at the turn of the century. During the 1899 season as a member of he Washington club of the National league, ne hit 25 home runs, a seasonal mark that stood until Jluth hit 29 for the Boston Red Sox in 1919.

Freeman was traded from Washington to the Boston Braves along with Bill Dineen, later an umpire, in 1900. The following year he jumped to newly-formed American league as a member of the Boston Red Sox. WTith the Sox he played a leading role in the first world series when the Sox beat Pittsburgh in five games in 1903. After his playing career, he remained in baseball in various capacities, one of them a scout for the St. Louis Browns.

In recent years his only link with the game was as manager of an independent team in Bloomsburg, in 1934 and '35. TWIN BILL TODAY ON TURNER FIELD Turner field, once the best baseball park in the Calumet district but fast going over the hill, today will house a double-header starting at 1:30 p. m. Hammond Moose, seeking their 13th victory against 10 defeats, clash with Hessville in the opening game. The aftermath matches Post 168 of Hammond against Post 266 of Indiana Harbor in a First district American Legion tourney game.

Post 266 is loaded with stars home from college, including Tosheff and McGee of the Indiana mound staff, and rates a favorite over the Hammond veterans. Hermits Bag 9th Win The Hammond Hermits (soft-ball) have new won nine straight games. Included in the victims were Lever North Side Sportsmen, Barenie Sportsmen and Taylor Chain. Champion Bob Falkenburg of Beverly Hills, and former U. S.

titleholder Frank Parker of Los Angeles. Failure to get in his blistering first service and the effects of a lingering cold contributed to the downfall of Gonzales, who made a meteoric rise to the top of the U. S. rankings in 1948. He was unable to continue the net-storming tactics that won him the first set in 18 minutes because, he said, "with my cold I knew 1 would get tired." Having dropped anchor on the baseline, he paddled against his unseeded foe with surprising futility.

Little Geoff, only 5 feet, 9 inches tall, was runner-up to Yvon Petra of France in the Wimbledon final three years ago. Since then he had been a disappointment until yesterday. His ambidextrous technic gives an etra against players who use only one hand. The 25' year-old Aussie swings a left-handed forehand, which he got under control after a wild start. Off his right side he smacks a two-handed flat drive that has the impact of a mortar.

He serves with his right hand and can, i' required, reach out with a starboard forehand. Of the other singles survivors, Schroeder had the hardest match. Parker, seeded third, used only 57 minutes in ousting George Worthington of Australia, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Falkenburg, seeded fourth although he is the defending titlist, eliminated Hans Van Swol, 34-year-old Dutch physician, 7-5, 6-0, 6-4, also without incident. Australia matched the United States by putting three men in the round of eight.

In addition to Brown, they were John Bromwich, who stopped Rolando Del Bello of Italy, 6-1, 6-1, 6-0, and Frank Sedg-man, who turned back Philippe Washer of Belgium, 6-4, 6-4, 7-5. Eric Sturgess of South Africa, runner-up to Gonzales in the U. S. championships last year, eliminated Gianni Cucelli of Italy, 6-2, 6-4, 6-1. Jaroslav Czechoslovakia's Davis Cup ace, defeated Nigel Cockburn of bouth Africa, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, to complete the quarter-final bracket.

When they line up Monday after resting today, it will be Schroeder against Sedgman, Parker against Sturgess, Flakenburg against Bromwich and Drobny against Brown. Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, the defending women's champion, dropped Rosemary Walsh of Britain, 6-1, 6-2, to enter the quarterfinals.

The Hir8MD Times Junior Golfers Battle Tuesday Hammond's livewire Jaycees Professional Bill Davis and his helper, Jack Homala and an unlimited crop of boy golfers put on a free show starting at 9 a. m. Tuesday in Wicker park. It's the second annual junior tourney for boys 18 and under residing in North Township and Davis hopes to attract more than 50 players for the Tuesday morning qualifying round at 18 holes. The low 32 will then be paired for match play beginning with double rounds on Wednesday and a single round for Thursday's quarterfinals.

Semi-final and final matches on Friday and Saturday, respectively, will be over the 36-hole route all of which means four juniors will have to see that Mom packs plenty of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and maybe adds a few dextrose tablets for extra energy. The Jaycees have posted a classy first-place trophy and all four semi-finalists will receive prizes. The early favorite? Could be Chuck Doppler, Jerry Homala or Jerry Vaughn of the Hammond High golf team. Maybe little Tommy Granack. Jerry Pickford's 'said to be quite a shotmaker and older golfers speak well of Richard Gaskey and Dick Schuler.

But there are others like Richard Schmal, Joe Muffler, Jim Boyle, Lyle Holme and Buckie Melton who also have their boosters. There's no charge of any kind for playing ln the tourney. No entry fee, no greens fee. Just lotsa fun and a chance to get tourney experience and maybe a prize or trophy. 'Answer to Krupa Mr.

Whitaker: In reply to Mr. John Krupa's letter to the VFW fans. We were not condemning the C. Taps' playing abilities. How ever, there are no rules governing that indicate or show that an um pire is not part of a ball game.

By this we mean the incident where Mr. Bazan politely but firm ly carried the umpire halfway to the backstop, whereas the umpire was merely trying to avoid him, And wasn't the fellow who threat ened to walk off the field the manager himself? In sofac as the ball-playing ability of the Taps is con cerned they are not to be denied that in the least. Sportsmanship, however, was the point in debate and not abilities. We leave the rest to the people who gathered to witness the game played on the 19th of June. A manager's ambition is to win ell games played and not just defeat the Taps.

Just a point of emphasis. Amen. Sincerely, FRANK NICKSICH, LOUIS PAUL LACKO Jim Gainer, owner of the E. Giants, was on the phone and throwing such phrases as "colored baseball teams are more popular than ever we don't play any place unless a regular admission is charged some people oughta put up or shut up. The Taps go around picking on kid teams and finally let go with the information that his Giants had as open date at Block stadium on July 9.

The line forms on the right," Gainer concluded. After which The Speculator concluded that'd be all of the continued mystery story about East Chicago baseball. It's gone far enough, kiddies.

Olympic athlete, has signed a contract with the Trl-Cities Blackhawks of the National Professional Basketball league. The signed one-year contract was received by team officials from California, where Eddleman is in the Big Ten track squad competing with west coast college stars.

The terms of the contract were not announced. The Centralia, 111., star has been expected 'to sign with the Blackhawks on completion of his college career. He was graduated from Illinois this month and the California track meet marked his last appearance in college sports. Eddleman, the first 11-letter winner in history at the U. of L.

Coaltown saw the lead only for the briefest moments in the stretch, passing Carrara Marble and With Pleasure at the eighth pole. But in that same movement, Dixiana's second string hope Star Reward smashed up from obscurity on the outside and disposed of Coaltown in a matter of brief strides. Carrara Marble was third, but there was no show betting. The winner paid $24 and $4.20, while Coaltown, winner of eight straight races this year, returned $2.20 for place.

Time for the race, which was witnessed by 24,822 onlookers, was 1:35. The stunned spectators, who threw well over half of the win and place betting to Coaltown and his Calumet farm stablemate Free America, saw with amazement that the favorite broke 'from the gate with none of his usual alacrity. Coming out of the mile chute, he was a non-graceful fourth to With Pleasure, Carrara Marble and the latter's stable-buddy, First Whirl Jockey Steve Brooks started urging Coaltown on the back stretch, and he moved up third; then kept going on the far turn, skidding up with the leaders around the far turn. Back in No Man's Land however, Bobby Baird, above Star Reward, was making his move. Star Reward had been entered as the doubtful half of the Dixiana entry whose star today was supposed to be Shy Guy, but Shy Guy was scratched.

It might have been Jack Hodgins, who trains the Dixiana string, had his reasons. It certainly looked that way. The winner got $18,800. Cahimat Ragnna Sports KM AMERICAN LEAGUE W. L.

Hirsch was pleased particularly because the once-gimpy horse had betrayed no signs of a limp with either forefoot during the comparatively fast race. The winner's time of was excellent for the slow track. Assault's performance, with an apprentice up, indicated he may accomplish the hardest task a thoroughbred can face the recapture of championship form after a series of injuries and after long idleness.

Hirach is pointing him for the $50,000 added Brooklyn handicap at Aqueduct next Saturday. It was in that race In 1947 that the King Ranch's speedster took the world money-winning title for the first time. That honor, plus the triple crown he had won In 1046, established the game Texas horse as one of the greatest of the decade. Shortly after the Brooklyn handi cap in '47, Assault lost the money-winning title to Stymie; but he re gained it by beating Stymie In the thrilling Butler handicap. Later he lost it again to Stymie.

Assault went to the post for the first time since Feb. 21, 1948, when he ran out of the money in the Widener stakes at Hialeah. He pulled up in the Widener with a "splint" on his left foreleg. Before that he had been troubled by a deformation of his right fore hoof. After the Widener Injury, Assault was retired to stud in Texas; but he proved sterile.

While at the Texas ranch. Assault recovered from his leg ailments. He grew a new, sound right hoof. Because of Assault's failure at stud and his physical Improvement, Owner Robert Kleberg and Trainer Hirsrh returned him to training last winter.
