Along with Yvon Petra of France and Geoff Brown, the two-handed swinger from Australia, whom they will meet In that order in the semifinal round, they had been shunted temporarily to the sidelines as the ladies took over the stage, front and center. Things in the women's field had reached such a pass that the U. girls, whom no one else apparently can beat, had to start eliminating each other to see who was going to get into the title round. The first of these American vs American matches was scheduled for the place of honor, the center court, 1 1 second-seeded Margaret Osborne of San Francisco meeting Doris Hart of Miami, Fla. Miss No.

7, on the ranking list, was the only one of the five U. S. survivors to drop a set in yesterday's matches which brought the field down to the quarterfinals. But she came back from a 6-2, 6-2 and eliminate Bea Carris of Britain. It appeared that top-seeded Pauline Beta of Los Angeles might get an extra days' rest after she reported with a sore throat.

She was treated by a physician last night, but tournament officials said that if she was well enough to play, they might make a last minute change in the schedule. In a reply of the Wightman cup series Louise Brough, No. seeded, from Beverly Hills, faced Mrs. Jean Nicoll sixth-ranked Britain, while Dorothy May Bundy of Santa Monica, challenged veteran Mrs. Kay stammers Men ales.

Though he was not slated for singles action, Tom Brown was booked to play a third-round doubles match with Jack Kramer of Los Angeles against Tony Mottram and Bob Nicoll of Britain. Seed-ed No. to the Tandem division, TO Ml By RALPH ROD EN Asciated Press Sports Writer The Philadelphia Phillies' surge out of the National League cellar and their threatened movement ln-to the first division has gained popular appeal throughout the nation. But to the pace setting Brooklyn Dodgers they look like the Phillies 'Of Old. Winners of 20 out of their last 29 decisions, the Phils came into Brooklyn riding a bandwagon that included practically everybody with the notable exception of lippy Leo Durocheri and his battling crew.

The Bums lost no time In casting their dissenting votes. In the first inning at Ebbets Field before 31,913 of the flatbush faithful last night the Dodgers' ended whatever dreams Manager Ben Chapman's aggregation had of gaining their first triumph of the year over the Brooks by blasting Art Lopatka and Tommy Hughes for six runs. Brooklyn continued its, blitz with three markers in the second and two more in the fifth up an 11-2 lead and allow Hank Behrman to coast 11-8 victory. The win -was the Dodgers' 'sixth straight, their ninth in a row over the Phils, and it stretched their first place margin over the St. Lou- is Cardinals to slx-and-one-half games as the Red Birds bowed, 5-4 to the Cincinnati Reds in 13 innings.

Rip Sewell made it two shutout victories in succession for the Pirates by blanking Chicago Cubs, 1-0, on four nits. 1 In twilight game before. 17,528 fans at Detroit, Virgil 1 Trucks of the Tigers whitewashed the Chicago White Sox 2-0, to post his ninth conquest of the year. Jittery Joe Berry, purchased early yesterday by the Cleveland Indians from the Toronto Leafs of -the International League, cele- brated the occasion by gaining cre-' dlt for Cleveland's 84 triumph over the St. Louis Browns and batting in what proved to be the winning run.

The 38-year-old righthander, who last season twirled for the Philadelphia Athletics, entered the game in the sixth inning with the score deadlocked at 4-4 and Chet Laabs on third with one out. Berry retired the side and in the bottom half of the stanza, he singled home Felix Mackiewici with the tie-break-ing counter. 7 The New York Yankees downed Let Us Fill Your Next PRESCRIPTION Accurate compounding that assures absolute conformance with your Doctor's specifications.

a. Golf Phone 873-1; i. 1 1 The Fulton Chicks took both ends of a doubleheader from the tired looking Clarksville Owls last night at Goodrich Field by 5-3, 5-0 scores. The Owls managed to collect a total of 5 hits to both conteatstQ the bobble department the locals fumbled 9 chances while the visitors miscued 1 offering. TONIGHT Clarksville vs.

Fulton. Place: Goodrich Field. Time: 8 o'clock. In the opener the Chicks touched pitcher O'Brien for a pair of walks and 3 singles to score 3 runs and they were never headed from there on out. Clarksville; started a rally in the last frame, getting a free pass and 2 singles to push a run In but reliefer Shultz came in for Harrison and fanned Marina while Cook grounded out to end the tilt.

Umpire Hambrlck was a little shaky behind the plate but after several- arguments he came back in the 4th to heave Smith, Owl center fielder, out of the game. In the nightcap Thomasson completely bottled up a listless, lifeless bunch of Clarksville pitchers as he pitched Goodrich Field's first perfect game. The Owls never scratched and Thomasson retired them in order in 5 of the 7 Innings. The Fulton hurler struck out 10 of the opposing batters and gave up only 2 -walks. 7 In contrast to the first, contest which didn't see a home run hit, the Chicks pounded out 3 In the closer, 2 by Steger and 1 by Sea-wrigbt.

The other 2 came In on errors and Webb's free -pass with the bases loaded Webb and Hardcastle pitched good ball games. Fulton didn't score on Hardcastle for the 5 innings he pitched in the relief role while Webb was touched for 7 safeties, 3 being homers. Both hurlers didn't receive much support either physically or morally as the field was as quiet as the proverbial. church at times during the game.

The Dover club collected their tfcur runs in the third frame as Tlrinkle, left fielder, blasted one oVr the fence with the bases loaded. Not to be outdone, Fletcher, the Goodrich left fielder, banged one over also with the sacks full of Inates. Goodrich's Easterling held the visitors to 2 hits while his teammates touched Barron for 11. The local hurler also, hit a-homerjjn the third. 7 Dover's one-armed right fielder, Sills, turned in a commendable job In the garden." On July 4 Goodrich will play Paducah at Goodrich Field.
