Johnson led four starters across the finish line at an average of 143426 the fastest nine laps ever driven here think any car would hold up at that speed for 400 Junior said later mine will do it if any car in the field David Pearson of Spartanburg SC ace of Cotton (See DIXIE Page 20) Wally Moon who played right field in place of Howard singled home two runs in the three-run third inning And rookie Wes Parker who took place In left field singled in the fourth and scored on John double Parker also singled in the sixth starting another three-run burst that knocked out loser Jack Fisher The shake up by Manager Walt Alston following Friday 8-0 shutout by the Mets was a drastic one for the World Series champions Tommy Davis was the National League batting champion the last two years and Howard is the team's leading home run slugger Phil Ortega who survived a bases loaded situation in the second when he struck out Fisher was knocked out bv the slated for today third place as Roman Brother the mighty mite from Louis Harbor View Farm came up for second- place four lengths in front of the Canadian-owned Dancer Hill Rise Fourth Hill Rise second choice was fourth in the field of eight 3-year-olds half length back of Northern Dancer Manuel Ycaza sent Quadrangle over the grinding lW-mile distance in 2:28 2-5 after racing close to Hie pace from the start He earned $110850 boosting his total winnings to $340499 The Rokeby Stable colt a son of Cohoes-Tap Day by Bull Lea had finished fifth in the Kentucky Derby and fourth in the Preakness before he came back a week ago for a powerful second against older norses in the Metropolitan Mile But Saturday was his day as he turned back the bid of Northern Dancer in a great stretch run The Dancer seeking to become the ninth winner of the Triple Crown even save second money for Taylor of Tororto Roman Brother came up and left him lengths behind in the final sixteenth of a mile Foul Claim Bill Shoemaker astride the Hill Rise from George A Pope El Peco Ranch lodged a claim of foul against Bill Har-tack' up on Northern Dancer Shoemaker claimed the Dancer came over on his horse rounding the final turn but the stewards allowed the order of finish to stand That placed Brave Lad fifth Orientalist sixth Determined Man seventh and Shook eighth Quadrangle trained by Elliott Burch paid $1510 to win Roman Brother an 889-pound package of dynamite piloted by Fernando Alvarez paid $810 to place Northern Dancer who went off the 4-5 choice was $2 10 to show was running easy and could have taken the lead at any Ycaza said of his win ner in front mot of the way was trying to bear out but 1 decided not to make the move until I heard Northern Dancer coming on the outside at the three-eighths pole "Then I let him go I hit him a couple of times and he pulled away horse has all the ability in the world He can Beat any horse in the land" Ready For Lead With one-half mile to go Quadrangle was ready- to Jake the lead from Orientalist with Northern Dancer less than a length back and Roman Brother lapping over him At that point Hill Rise also was well-placed Rounding the final bend with one-quarter of a mile to go Quadrangle started to open up daylight with Roman Brother second and the Dancer on th move For one-sixteenth of a It looked as If the Dancer would stage another ef his sizzling finishes and give the sport its first Tripl Crown winner since Citation in 1948 but Quadrangle was full of speed His margin with one-eighth of a mile to go was only naif a length but ne crossed the line running strongly as Roman Brother came up to take second place from the tiring Dancer Braves edge Cubs by 6-5 score MILWAUKEE (AP) Lee Msye slashed a two-run single with two out in the ninth inning Saturday boosting Milwaukee to 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs The rally nullified a four-run explosion In the seventh that put the Cubs ahead 5-4 Chicago reliever Lew Burdette acquired from St Louis earlier this week and a former Brave retired the first fwo Milwaukee batters In the ninth before Mike de la Hoi singled Llndy McDaniel replaced Burdette and Rico Carty beat out an Infield hit moving pinch runner

Schools Ath- letic -Association (TSSAA) He was calling from Nashville enroute back to Jrenton just wanted to tell you Jimmy how much we appreciated everything Johnson City did to make the state tournament a success" he said and added: "The Chamber of Commerce breakfast was a wonderful idea and all of the boys appreciated The official TSSAA family was represented here by Sou-der executive secretary A Bridges and second assistant secretary Gary Benmark It was noted at the Chamber breakfast Tuesday that this bad been the first time such an affair had been given by the host city for a state baseball tournament It would appear from cal and from the other favorable comment that Johnson City put its best foot forward in hosting the 1964 tournament- Much credit must go locally to coach John A Broyles of Science Hill the Hilltopper Sports Club and to Ross Edge-' mon who was ip charge of local arrangements for the state tournament And of course the Chamber of Commerce cooperated to the fullest extent including hauling out the sunshine after Monday when the rains washed out the opening games Johnson City was also a good host for the tournament competition-wise Coach defending state champions bad surprised everybody by roaring out of the district and regional playoffs to gain a berth in the four-team state finals And the Hilltoppers embarrassed by anybody in the state tourney games In fact they opened the competition by blanking Memphis Christian Brothers 541 and the West Tennesseans proved their championship caliber later by coming out of the bracket to beat Donelson twice for the title always nice to hear words of commendation for a job well-done The fact that TSSAA officials here only during the actual week of competition sensed the planning and local effort which went into the 1964 state tournament speaks well for the high school association and its officials sure Johnson City would like for the state tournament to return again soon LAMAR NORTH

the Belmont Stakes after already taking the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness the Dancer was beaten by Quadrangle Only eight horses have ever won all three so it is difficult to see just how the Dancer could have been such a prime favorite Seems to me that horses should get together and organize against people who tab them favorites and make them look bad in front of their fellow horse when they come through If people had to do the running think twice about loosely using such phrases as What the modern race horse needs is a say like Mr Ed CABSON-NEWMAN College and its basketball coach Dick Campbell are to be congratulated for being chosen to take a Caribbean tour which is sponsored by the United States State Department and the AAU Campbell has just announced that two outstanding Texas college players have been added to the squad which will take the tour beginning July 9 Following a briefing session in Washington they will leave on July 11 Henry Garcia of Southwest Texas State and

York for visiting sports writers at the American Press Institute Joe Reichler veteran baseball writer said: believe National League baseball will ever return to New And here in 1964 still debating whether it really hfls or New York Mets and their colorful manager Casey Stengel have generated more interest by losing than they ever could have by winning baseball games Devoted to a team that lost 231 games in its first two seasons and has won only 16 of 50 this season New York fans apparently care less if the Mets win or not Old Ebbets Field never stirred up that much sentiment Now comes a Saturday Evening Post story illustrated by VSHtTf- the National Low celto made hia atatement in 1950 no ona knew the wonderfully losing Mets were on their way to New York with glad tidings of National League baseball using the term loosely of course THE AMERICAN LEGION section of The Sporting News carries a story and picture this week of Memphis Christian Brothers player Ralph Gagliano and refers to several of the CBHS players who have just completed winning the state high success of the Legion team this summer hinges on whether Gagliano nephew of coach Tony Gagliano Sd catcher Tom Mitchell decide to sign professional con-tracts or play Legion ball Dodgers shake Mets 9-2 Appy opener set here June 24 The opening of the 1964 Appalachian League baseball season is only 17 days away A 72-game
