(A.P.). The Old Man and a few young ones were the only controversial subjects todav as the 56th Chisox Go Into 2nd Place Has Nat'l League Finally Caught Up With Roberts? By Ed Wilks The Associated Press It begins to look as if the rest of the National league has caught up with Robin Roberts, the ace of Philadelphia's pitching staff who may miss 20 victories for the first time seven years. Milwaukee's Braves, who had lost 13 of 23 run-ins with Roberts, greeted Robin like a favorite cousin last night, rocking him from the mound with a seven-run fourth inning that handed the big righthander his eighth defeat U.S.

Open golf championship got under way on the lush East course of Rochester's Oak Hill club. The Old Man is a tag Dick Mayer hung on Ben Hogan a great golfer who may have seen his best playing days and who is trying to win an unprecedented fifth open title. He has stirred up more discussions among the players Loes Displays Old Form For Six Innings By George Bowen Baltimore lP). Manager Paul ay hawks Favored In NCAA this meet and the National AAU at Bakersfield June 22-23 in which to qualify for the final Olympic tryouts. Many of the collegians practiced yesterday on California's Edwards field, scene of the championships.

Duke's record breaking sprinter, Dave Sime, merely warmed up after a hard workout Tuesday. Villanova's miler Ron Delaney jogged several laps. Jim Bailey of Oregon arrived early hoping "to get rid of the hay fever that's been bothering me this spring." Both Delany and Ireland Bailey, an Australian, have broken four against, only five victories. It was the fourth straight setback for Roberts, who hasn't lost that many in a row since 19S3. Never in his six straight 20-or-more-victory seasons was Robin shackled with a losing record at this stage of the schedule.

He's had only one losing year in baseballwhen he was 7-9 as a rookie with the Phils in 1948. Only one other NL game was played, with the Chicago Cubs winning No. 10 in the last 13 on a 6-5 decision over the New York Giants. Rain Dostnoned the first- place battle between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. Brooklyn and St.

Louis were not scheduled. In the American, the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees for the first time in seven tries, 7-5, and edged into second, four games back of the Yanks, as Cleveland and Boston battled to an 11-inning 81 tie halted by rain. Detroit bopped Baltimore 2-0 on Charley Maxwell's ninth-inning home run. Kansas City topped out of the cellar with 1 hits that beat Washington 13-4 and dropped the Senators into last place. The Braves snapped a three-game losing streak in their 14-hit attack against the last place Phils.

Roberts absorbed nine of the blows, including three triples by Danny O'Connell that tied a major league record. Del Crandall and Ed Mathews homered for five runs in the big fourth. Three New York errors totaled five unearned runs for the Cubs, who counted a three-run homer by Eddie Miksis as Bob Rush won his sixth with ninth-inning relief. Jim Hearn lost it for a 3 6 mark. The White Sox won the hard way( giving up three unearned runs with four errors and overcoming a 3-1 deficit in the fourth on Ron Northey's pinch three-run homer off starter Bob Tur- ley.

Larry Doby made it 5-4 in the fifth with his first home run of the season and Luis Aparicio packed it away with a two-run, bases-loaded single in the seventh. Babe Ruth "caught up" with Mickey Mantle, who hasn't hit a home run in a week. The Mick has 21 after 53 games. The Babe had the same number in the same number of games in his record 60-homer year of 1927. Jackie Jensen socked home four runs for Boston, slashing a bases-loaded triple to tie it in the fourth.

Vic Wertz, who drove in five runs, had given Cleveland an 8-5 lead In the top of the fourth with his 14th homer, a three-run Jolt off reliefer Dave Sisler and his second of the game. Detroit had Just one hit off Billy Loes, making his first start for the Orioles since his purchase from Brooklyn, before he retired in the seventh. Maxwell's 11th homer was the first this season off reliefer George Zuverink. Charley Thompson and Vic Power each had five hits for the A's while Hector Lopez and Gus Zernial homered in the hit parade against four Washington pitchers. SHEILA STEWART WINS Sheila Stewart captured top honors with a 39 net in the class A play of the weekly Pasatiempo Women's Nine-Hole tourney Tuesday.

Runner-up was Joy Aiken with a 42 net. In class play, Ellen Gomo topped the field with a net 35, while Edith Maridan was second with 38. Must This themselves and the multitude of fans than any other of the 162 players. Some think he's the man to beat and that the long, 6902-yard, par 70 Oak Hill course is just the kind for him. Others figure that age Ben will be 44 in August and the effects he still feels from his near-fatal automobile accident several years ago slowed Hogan's competitive pace so he can't outlast the strong-legged youngsters in this rugged event.

The young men are the caddies, whose peeve against tournament officials came to light yesterday when Sam Snead was denied the use of his long-time bag toter, Jimmy Steed. Snead was more than slightly scorched. The change was ordered by U.S. Golf association officials because Steed had not been assigned through the regular caddy pool. "I've had this fellow all week and now I get a new man.

What do they care who caddies for who? Somebody snitched on me," Snead protested. Steed, who has caddied for Snead 22 years, was listed as first alternate. Snead dismissed the caddy he had drawn and was given Steed but USGA officials said no. Some caddies asserted that the rule of a blind draw for caddies had been violated in other instances and that favored youngsters had been assigned to certain top players. If Snead can sink a few putts.

he should be a contender for the one big title he never has won. It comes down to putting in Hogan's case, too. Mayer, for one, thinks the Old Man has lost his putting touch. A year ago, after losing the open playoff to Jack Fleck, Hogan said he never again would work so hard in preparing for a tournament. But he came here over a week in advance to practice and instead of resting yesterday, as he often does, he played nine holes, spent considerable time hitting shots on the practice mound, then put in a half hour on the putting green.

The winner in this tournament could be almost anybody who shoots well for three days. Names most frequently mentioned were Gene Littler, the leading pro mon ey winner; 1949 champion Cary Middlecoff Australia's Peter Thomson, winner of the British Open the past two years; Mike Souchak; Masters champion Jackie Burke and steady-shooting, unsteady-tempered Tommy Bolt.

Joey Giambra wants a couple of more fights before he hurls any challenges at middleweight champion Ray Robinson.

Giambra, a handsome 24-year-old, slammed out a close 10-round decision over rugged John L. Sullivan of England last night. Joey's record now is 44-4-1. He staggered the brawny Briton in the seventh and eighth rounds with deftly timed left hooks to the jaw. Joey bled from the nose in the second round.

Sullivan was cut over the left eye in the fifth. Joey, a 9-5 favorite, was outweighed 159ij to 156. "That's too light for me to get full use of my power," said Giambra. "I've been working too hard. I want a couple of more tune-up fights.

Richards put up the 10 grand May 14 to claim Loes from the Brooklyn Dodgers.

None of the other National league clubs want ed to risk even that much on a sore-armed pitcher although he has never had a losing season. Richards took the gamble, and as insurance had Loes checked over intensively by several Johns Hopkins physicians. As a result, Loes had three dead teeth extracted on the theory they could have been a source of infection contributing to the sore arm. It ap peared yesterday as though Richards might have hit the jackpot. Loes pitched six innings against the Detroit Tigers and they got only two men on base.

The first was on Loes' only walk and the other was the only hit, a lazy single over second base by Buddy Hicks in the sixth. Loes struck out five, two of them after Hicks reached second on a sacrifice to be the only runner to get that far against him. "I've never seen a better looking pitcher," said Richards. He said he removed Loes after the sixth inning as a safety measure. "I had intended to let him pitch only four innings," Richards explained.

"But he was going so easy that I let him go the fifth. Then he begged me to let him pitch the sixth, and I did. "But I didn't want to take a chance any longer on him developing a stiff arm." By contrast, the ace relief pitcher of the Orioles, George Zuverink, was knocked for four hits in the last three innings two of them for extra bases. The last was a ninth-inning homer by Charley Maxwell, with Wayne Belardi on base for the 2-0 Detroit victory. Van cover Sale Still In Offing Vancouver, B.

The National Collegiate Athletic association track and field championships here tomorrow and Saturday number more than 350 entries but an injury to one of them changes the outcome complexion. Don Bragg, Villanova's champion pole vaulter, suffered a pulled muscle in his right thigh and won compete, barring a miracu' lous recovery. His loss ruins title hopes for Vulanova small squad and boosts the stock of the defending champion Southern California's Trojans. The Kansas Jayhawks, however, still appeared to be the team to heat.

The Trojans have two vaulters, Walt Levack and Ron Morris, who finished in a four-way tie for second place behind Bragg in last year's NCAA and preserved for USC its seventh straight national collegiate title. With Bragg out Levack and Morris could move up. However the other two in that four-way deadlock at 14 feet 6V2 inches Bob Gutowski of Occidental and Earl Poucher of Florida also are back. Villanova Coach Jim Elliott said it was doubtful that Bragg could compete.
