Persia for many years after 200 A Dt held a monopoly on the import trade of raw silk from China. BY JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) You simply had to see it to believe it. It was a case ofnavhem on the mamond. New York fans, even those with long memories, will tell you that there never was another national league team that packed the punch these Giants of 1947 do. And if you happened to be a spectator at last night's teeing off party at the Polo Grounds against the Boston Braves, you would be inclined to agree with them.

Training their siege guns at four Boston pitchers, the relentless Giants blasted away for 16 hits including five home, runs, a triple and a double to vanquish the Braves 15-3. "Big 3" Leads Homer Parade Bobby Thomson slammed a home run. Buddy Kerr hit one. And of course, the thumping trio of Johnny Mize, Willard Marshall and Walker Cooper hit one apiece. Thomson also connected for a three-bagger.

Along about the fourth inning with the Giants in front 12-3, it began to rain. The Giants obligingly went out in order in the fourth and fifth innings in their haste to beat the downpour, but once the game became official, they resumed their furious attack, collecting a couple of more needless runs In the sixth. It was In that inning that Mize. the majors' home run leader, slam-1 med his 21st circuit clout, a terrific i wallop and far over the right field roof. The rain came down in earnest and a wag suggested that Mize's blow must have hit a cloud and burst it The teams got in one more lnnine.

but finally the umpires called a halt saving the two nines as well as the 36,923 thoroughly delighted fans a drenching. It. came too late, however, to save the Braves the worsdrubbinghey have suffered this season. The only solace for Boston was Tommy Holmes two homers and a triple off winning pitcher Larry Jansen. Dodgers Win To Hold Second Despite the victory, the Giants remained in third place, but they cut the Braves first place margin to a mere half game.

Boston retained its first place hold over the Brooklyn Dodgers by two percentage points. The Brooks lost an opportunity to take over the league lead when they blew a 5-3 game to the Phils in Philadelphia earlier in the day. In the only other National league game, the steadily rising St. Louis Cardinals moved within three and a half games of the top by winning a close 2-1 game from the Pirates at night in Pittsburgh. The Cards increased their fourth place lead over the idle.

Chicago Cubs to a full game. Detroit took sole possession of BENNIE SCADLER company under Odie Schumacher who was formerly connected with Northwestern when Schadler was an undergraduate. Bennie hit his peak as a basket' ball player at Northwestern. He led the Wildcat scoring last season and topped his efforts with a 26-point spree against Notre Dame. He captained the Wildcats in 44-'45 and was named to the All-Big Ten team that season.

Like Forestieri, he is a high scoring guard and sometimes plays forward. Defensively he was always called upon to take the op position's. No. 1 player. Ghezzi Cards 75 Today In British Open HOYLAKE, England, July 2-(AP) -vie unezzi, playing through a shifting wind and driving rain, posted a 75 as the first man to finish the first 78 holes in British Open gon cnampionsmp today.

Vic was erratic on the greens. where Intermittent rain slowed the surface, as compared to the nigh speed they had Monday when Vic played the course the first time But his short game picked up on the home stretch and two beautiful chips brought applause from about 50 persons who defied the driving rain to follow the. first Yankee challenger around the sodden course.

At the sixteenth he chipped lust 15 inches away from the cup from deep rough, where he hooked his brassie second, and on the next hole he popped up a 90 foot chip within IS inches of the hole. iandUm NATIONAL LEAGUE Memphis Red Sox, Chicago Giants In League Contest Local baseball fans will he treated to an unusual spectacle at Colony park tonight eon-test between two out-of-town teams of the Negro American league.

Starting Bennie Schadler, who in 194! helped Benton Harbor high school win its only state basketball title and who terminated a brilliant athletic career at Northwestern University by graduating In June, expects to sign a contract to play with the Chicago Stags professional quintet of the Basketball Association of America, The News-Palladium learned today. Schadler has stated he will sign with the Stags the salary will be $4,500 as soon as a clause is in' serted in his proffered contract permitting him to play with the College An-Stafs1rrNovemben He is committed to that All-Star game and had been assured by the Stags it would be okay, but he wants it in writing. SINCE THE COLLEGE All-Stars are assembled each year in Chicago to play the world's professional champs, currently the Indianapolis Kautsky's, Benton Harbor will have a player on each rival squad. Jack Forestieri, who has just signed with the Kautsky's, will be Schadler's rival. The $4,500 offer from the Stags is considered attractive, indeed, especially in view of the fact that the Chicago team is in a league organized only last year and not nearly as financially flush as the older National Basketball league of which' Kautsky's is a member.

Forestieri will get $5,000 from Kautsky's who can afford more also because of having won the world's pro title last winter. Schadler has also accepted a position with the United Drug Co. which has given him per- mission to play professional basketball. Schadler will work In Los Angeles for the drug PICK KRAMER OVER AUSSIE May Have All-American Net Finals WIMBLEDON, July S-(AP)-DInny Pails, the little man with the big service, today was the last of the Australian big guns barring the path to an all-American finals In the Wimbledon champions, series.

The Detroit Senators lived up to advance notices of being a classy fielding and heavy clouting outfit and after-the cannonading was all over they had taken the measure of the St Joseph Auscos, 7 to 3, In an exhibition game last night at Edge' water park before some 1,350 spec tators. With every hitter setting his sights and aiming for the fences, the Detroiters "rattled the boards" aplenty In putting on the awesome power display. And to show their all-around ability, they blanketed the diamond on defense in Vnsa-ional style to thwart the Auscos in their Infrequent moves to get a rally started.

James "Cool Papa" Bell, out cen-terfield way, was the chief th waiter as he easily roamed half the outer garden to spear anything and everything that came within reach. Bell accepted eight fielding chances, and on several occasions did plenty of legging to catch up with hard hit Ausoo drives for outs. Barrage Of Hit Art Cyrul started on the mound for the Auscos and was greeted with a barrage of hits the first two inn' lngs as the Senator sluggers dug in and teed off on his slants for long range mows. However, once Cyrul got by those two frames, he hurled very respectable ball, allowing only four hits the rest of the way, but the damage had already been done and the Auscos were never quite Die to eaten Cyrul's downfall wasn't all his fault because several bad errors came along by team mates at inopportune moments. The Auscos made five bobbles afield.

The Senators showed plenty of power In pre-game practice and Carried those lengthy drives right into the game. Left fielder Fred Thomas, first up, drilled a single Into right field and was sacrificed to second. The next three hitters teed off on solid drives and the Senators were of to a 3 to 0 lead as the first Inning ended. Inside-Park Homer The second Inning saw a couple more lusty blows with another pair of runs scoring. With one away, pitcher Dick Bradley drove a hit up ajainst the left center field fence that bounced back and went for a triple.

Thomas followed this up with a drive that caromed off the right field fence. By the time the ball was retrieved, Thomas had circled the bases for an inside-the-park homer. i Meanwhile Bradley's assortment of pitches had the Ausco hitters completely handcuffed. It wasn't ufrtil the fifth inning that the locals got their first hit and that was a bunt that George Kovach successfully beat out. Wally Nowak walked.

Iw Hummel then drove a safety iBto left field, scoring Kovach. The rally ended when Cyrul flied to left field and Nowak was doubled off second. The Auscos, limited to but six hits the game, got to Bradley for tiree of these in the seventh. Kovach singled down the left field line abd Nowak hoisted a homer over the right field wall that landed just inside the foul line. Glenn Schaef-f(r dropped a short fly into left field but failed to score when Bell spear -tQ two hard-hit outfield flies.
