Included were seven home runs, four triples and a pair of doubles as eight pitchers saw duty.

Sauer started the scoring in the first with a home run over the left field wall that scored Willie Mays ahead of him. the Giants erupted for 11 runs in the third, all at the expense of Chicago's starter, Elmer Singleton. Big Hank, the Giants' 39-year-old outfielder, followed his first homer of the spring with a second in the third that scored two mates ahead of him. Before the damaging frame was over, Cepeda and Mays both had collected homers, the latter the first of 1958 for the star center fielder. Right-hander Al Worthington worked four scoreless innings for the Giants but gave up four runs on as many hits in the fifth.

Banks slammed his first homer with one aboard in that inning and his second in the seven-run eighth. That came against rookie Ernie Broglio, who was slammed for nine hits in 223 innings. Twelve Cubs batted in the eighth, Bob Speake contributing a triple and Cal Neeman a double. Lee Walls, who had four hits in five trips, slammed Chicago's other triple while Broglio and Bobby Thomson hit them for the Giants. After Broglio ran into trouble, the Giants used Tom Bowers, Don Zanni and Stu Miller on the mound.

"No, do It again and see what happens," Basilio snapped. Return matches rarely live up to the first fight, but these two hardly could be dull when put in the ring again. The same ingredient is there the danger of Robinson pin-pointing a punch and taking Basilio out, as he did against Bobo Olson and Gene Fullmer in the same Chicago ring.

Joe Worrell Gets Cage MVP Award Joe Worrel, 6-7 center, was named the outstanding player in the city recreation basketball league by the cagers on the other teams Friday night at a season ending dinner.

The MVP winner played on the Andy's Auto Supply team and was second in league scoring. Teammate Dick Feurtado was the top scorer and both players received awards. Russ McCallie, sponsor of the McCallie's Shell team, was presented the trophy for producing the winning team while Andy Mek's received the run-nerup trophy as his unit was spcond. The awards were presented by Harry Winterburn, city recreation director. Approximately 35 players attended the dinner given by the five sponsors.

The olher sponsors present were Bill Pueet of Leibbrandt and Puget Alan's store, Roy Johnson of the Santa Cruz lumber companv and Steve Traylor of the Mission Printers. Bob Enzweiler and Don Whal-ey, two Shell players, finished second and third respectively in the voting for the top eager. USC's Rink Babka Hurls Discus 200 Feet Almost Although both throws landed more than 200 feet away, Rink's best effort for the day was ruled officially as 198 feet 10 inches. Head field judfee Jim Reinhard measures the drop of some two feet into the ditch and, computing the descending trajectory of the discus, arrived at the 198 feet 10 inch figure. Two other complications made it highly improbable that the toss would be considered for a world record.

A survey of the course revealed that it is slightly down hill. And the concrete throwing circle did not have the required wood or metal restraining line. Apple Valley W) The Univer sity of Southern California's giant weightman, Rink Babka, unofficially bettered the world rec ord for the discus yesterday with two throws over 200 feet each. The listed world record is 194 feet, 6 inches set by Fortune Gor-dien in 1953. Both of Babka's throws cleared the runing track at the Apple Valley Relays and lanaea in a ditch six feet beyond.

Officials had a problem to determine the distance as the ditch had eight inches of water, so they decided both throws were beyond the 200 foot mark, which is the far side of the runing track.

An attorney yesterday revealed an impending taxpayers' suit to challenge city financing of a baseball stadium for the San Francisco Giants. The suit is to be filed by a group of San Francisco taxpayers who the lawyer said were concealing their identity. He added it may delay completion of the park past its scheduled opening in the Bayview district at the beginning of the 1959 season.

Attorney Michael Lewton said the taxpayers have hired him to draw up their case. They number "in excess of a dozen," he said. "My clients don't want to block the said. "They don't want to delay it But their feeling is that this is a bad financial deal for the city." The taxpayers, Lewton said, feel city plans are "based on pretty unsound financing" and that the Giants and builder Charles L. Harney, San Francisco contractor, may benefit from the deal, but not the taxpayers.

The suit won't be filed, the lawyer said, until after the city financi.1? nlan gets its expected approval from the board of supervisors and goes to the mayor. He said amendments to the plan may be made in the meantime and these would determine final form of the suit. Lewton indicated, however, that his strategy will probably take one or more of three forms in its presentation to the -superior court. He may ask that City Controller Harry Ross be stopped from spending the five million dollars in bonds voted by San Franciscans for the stadium, that Mayor George Christopher be prevented from signing necessary contracts, or that a new bond ejection be held "for a larger amount or for the same amount with different terms."

A real steal at TOUK NfcW sAN I A IKU aczz By Jimmy Breslin NEA Staff Correspondent Chicago (NEA) When Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio meet at Chicago stadium, Tuesday, they will box 15 rounds for the middleweight title and a pavday of $200,000 or so each, but if you go back to the night these two first fought you wonder what could be important enough to get them into the same ring again. They met in New York's Yankee stadium last September and Basilio, welterweight champ, took Robinson's middleweight title on a decision but when he got back to his dressing room he locked himself in an office and let Johnny DeJohn, one of his managers, do the talking. Robinson's left jab, and quick hooks off it, had done a job on Carmen's face and he didn't want anybody to see it at that time and even the next morning he kept turning one side of it away from photographers.

To win, Basilio had slammed Robinson's body. Outwardly, Rob Ruuska Betters Own 400-Yard Medley Record Seattle Wl Sylvia Ruuska, slender 15-year-old from Berkeley, eclipsed her own world record in the 400-yard individual medley yesterday during an all-star women's swimming meet at the University of Washington pool. Sylvia went the distance in 5 minutes 5.2 seconds. Her recognized mark is 5:08.1. This was a sanctioned AAU meet and application will be made for official recognition of the mark.

Chris Von Saltza, 14, of Santa Clara, bettered the existing American record of 58.1 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle. She swam the four pool lengths in 57.1 seconds. Judy Alderson, Chicago, holds the record. A Hollywood, youngster, 16-year-old Marianne Hargreaves, clipped a tenth of a second off the 250-yard breast stroke American record, going the route in 3:22.0. Mary Jane Sears of Washington, D.C., holds the mark.

Miss Von Saltza also bettered another American standard, the 2:25.2 time for the 200-yard back stroke, held by Carin Cone of New Jersey. Miss Von Saltza's time was 2:23.6. Records continued to tumble as Miss Ruuska chased Nancv Ram- ey, Seattle, to a new 200-yard butterfly mark and Miss Von Saltza bettered her own standard in the 500-yard freestyle. Miss Ramcy was clocked at 2:21.9 and Miss Ruuska at 2:23.6. Nancy's official record is 2:25.7.

Miss Von Saltza knocked more than one second off her '500-yard freestyle American record of 5:47.8. She was clocked at 5:46.6. BUY U. S. SAVINGS BONDS NEED inson seemed fine and unmarked in his dressing room but they had to help him get dressed and it was not until a long time after everybody had gone home that Jackie Barrett, who is a matchmaker for the International Boxing club, finally decided he could get his corned beef sandwich and a bottle of beer at a nearby restaurant.

"I had to wait," he said, "until Robinson left. He was hurt a lot worse than anybody knows. He took a good body licking." And Robinson was unavailable to anybody for a full week after the bout. Their fight had been brutal. Basilio, standing too erect, caught a frightening amount of punches in the early rounds.

Then he got down low and came on in the middle rounds and in the 11th seemed to have Robinson nearly out. But Robinson made a fantastic comeback particularly for a 38-year-old in the 12th, 13th and 14th and only a last-ditch Basilio loth pulled it out. That was the broad pattern. But mostly, the thing revolved around this kind of viciousness: Los Angeles Tops Yankees In 12th, 7-6 Miami Johnny James walked in Charley Neal with two out in the 12th inning last right and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees 7-6. James was the fourth Yankee pitcher in a hectic game which saw the Dodgers use five men on the mound.

Jackie Collum was the winner, pitching the final inning. Yogi Berra paced the Yankee attack with a 2-run homer and his three hits drove in four of the six runs. Don Bessent was the victim of a 4-run Yankee attack in the fifth inning. The Dodger's big inning was the third when by a walk, a single by Filipe Montemayor, double by Norm Larker and single by Dick Gray produced three runs. Montemayor was hit by one of Ryne Duren's pitches just above the right elbow in the fifth inning and had to leave the game.

He was taken to a hospital for an X-ray. The winning ran In the 12th came after Neal had singled and stolen second with one out. Gino Cimoli went out, shortstop to first, and Neal took third. John Roseboro was intentionally walked and Junior Gilliam walked to fill the bases. Bob Lil-lis then drew a pass to walk in Neal with the winning run.

SnOP IN THE GREATER SANTA CRUZ TRADING AREA GOOD Finsterwald I Takes Fla. Golf Tournament Lead fj St. Petersburg, Fla. (P) Dow Finsterwald launched a birdie barrage on the back nine yester-iday and sharged into a three stroke lead after three rounds of the $15,000 St.

Petersburg Open "Golf tournament. The slender Tequesta, professional, who has been in a slight slump, fired a four-under-par 67 his best round in a month for a 207 total heading into the payoff round. Four birdies, three in succession, gave him a 31 on the back side after his par 36 going out. Leo Biagetti of St. Paul, a circuit regular who usually occupies an also ran berth, blazed into second place with a sparkling 66 for a 210 total.

Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, leader at the halfway mark, scrambled to a 72 and slipped into a tie for third at 211 with Fred Hawkins of El Paso, who charged out of the pack with a 67. Frank Stranahan, former amateur star from Toledo, Ohio, shot a 69 for 212. George Bayer of San Gabriel, the first round pacesetter, and Bill Cas-'per the pre-tournament favorite from Apple Valley, were among the five players bunched at 213. drawn, using this, with Fullmer, who bullied Robinson into a 15-round defeat in New York, then was bombed out in six last May at Chicago. Fullmer, however, was striking Mr.

America poses in the return. By holding his arms wide and low he showed his manly chest off to all. He still looked powerful when his seconds picked him off the floor after Robinson clocked him with a left hook. It Is expected here that Basilio will improve in the return. He'll come in low enough to offset Robinson's jabbing.

Fact is he better because Ray will throw right hands only for show this time. Either his left does the job or it won't get done. Which is the premonition here. At 31, Carmen who at 155 will give five pounds, has those seven good years on Ray. And he has the confidence gained from having taken all that Robinson can give and still win while, it must be remembered, not making his smartest flight.

If those in the expected sellout house of $400,000 and the theater television audiences around the country watch closely they will see, along about the eighth round, Sugar Ray Robinson get tired trying for an early knockout and wind up ending his career the way nearly all old-timers, the greats included, go pounded to the floor by a good punch.
