BLYTOEVTLL1! (ARK.) COURIER Homer-Happy Crosley Field Has a Leader By BEN PHLEGAR AP Writer The gals in the laundry are fast losing their home run business to the fans in the sun deck at Cincinnati's Crosley Field. For years one of the National League's favorite home run targets has been the laundry just beyond the left field fence in Cincinnati. But last season the Redleg management eyed the muscles of left-handed hitter Ted Kluszewski and company and moved in the right field fence about 25 feet. Now most of the long-ball trade Is -going into the right field seats. These used to be the bleachers.

season it's the sun deck, complete with lounge chairs, sun tan lotion and sun glasses for rent. Six Made It was a little chilly for these devices last night but the home runs fell thick and fast. An even half dozen cleared the bats of left- handed sluggers as the homer- 8-7 verdict over the Pittsburgh Pirates. One home run went to the laundry in left. Ten of the 15 runs were direct results of homers.

Kluszewski Slammed one in the first with one aboard and Jim Greengrass followed right behind him with another. the third and Kluszewski hit another. Back to Back 'The Pirates blasted back in the sixth with back-to-back blows by Toby Atwell and Jerry Lynch. And in the eighth Atwell and Lynch did the trick again. So far this season the Redlegs have slammed 15 homers and the total for Crosley Field is 25.

Cincinnati pitchers have yielded 26, average of two per game. Cincinnati moved into first place by half a game over the Brooklyn Dodgers, who bowed in St. Louis 7-3. Milwaukee squeezed by New York 3-2 and Philadelphia was rained out at Chicago in the National League. The Chicago White Sox won their fourth straight, a 4-3 thriller over the New York Yankees in the only American League action.

Bad weather brought postponements of the Boston Cleveland, Philadelphia-Detroit and Washington-Baltimore contests. Miller Preacher Roe, a long-time Cardinal jinx, was the victim at St. Louis. He Ic-ISt his usually good control. Two walks, a double by Bay Jablonski and a single by rookie Tom Alston gave the Cards two runs in the fourth.

Another walk and a single by Del Rice were followed by Red Schoendienst's double, an intentional pass and a two-run single by Jablonski in the fifth. Al Brazle and Stu Miller preserved Gerry Staley's second victory. Miller worked three hitless innings. 18 Nags May Run For Derby Roses LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) The 80th running of the Ken- with tucky Derby took a Hasty turn today but there was every indication the names of 18 horses will be dropped into the entry box for the $100,000 added mile and one-quarter test of speed and stamina.

Then yesterday a strapping horse from the Middle West by the name of Hasty Roads hung a head defeat on Determine one of the Californians, in the mile of the Derby Trial.

The supporters of the California-owned colts were stunned by the defeat of Andy Crevolin's A.l- hambra-owned Determine, winner of six straight stakes races before heading for Churchill Downs. They could find no excuse for the little grey son of the English stallion, Alibhai. For, after all, it had taken a track record smashing performance of 1:35 to turn back one of their chief hopes in a photo finish. The victory boosted Hasty Road's total earnings to $291,232 and sent the Ohio colt into second pot in the Derby odds. "He'll beat any of them if he feels like running." remarked Allie Reuben, Toedo real estate operator and maser of the Hasty House Farm.

With Sea Erin as a running mate, the entry was quoted at 7-2. Correlation, owned by Robert S. Lytle of Los Angeles, remained he firm choice at 2 to 1. Determine, who will have Al- ied as a running mate Saturday, ropped to the co-third choice at to 1 with Goyamo from Royce G. Martin's Woodvale Farm.

Little Rock Is Back On Win Trail Ag By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Little Rock's Travelers have snapped out of their slump convincingly and temporarily stymied New Orlean's campaign for the Southern Association lead. BUI Norman's boys, who had lost Atlanta was ahead 4-0 when three in a row and five of their downpour halted its game with last six, snapped the Pels' winning streak at four last night with 7-1 verdict. Drop New Orleans went into the game only 11 percentage points behind loop-leading Atlanta.

The loss, combined with the rain-out of the Crackers' game in Nashville, dropped the Pels half a game back. And Little Rock, which was on top of the league until its bad case of slumpitis, is just another half game to the rear. Chicks Win Memphis found Mobile pitching to its liking and trimmed the Bears 6-4 and Birmingham rallied spectacularly to edge Chattanooga 7-6 in 10 innings. Hal Martin's two home runs and the six-hit hurling of Vince Trakan highlighted the Little Rock triumph. The Pels' lone run came in the second on two Trav errors.

Birmingham got its winning run off Verne Williamson in the 10th when Jay Van Noy, who had singled, came home on Jerry Kudajeski's double.

Seven-Foot High Jump Recorded East Texas State Star Did It In Practice Session Sports Story Behind Jackson's Fa By GAYLE TALBOT IsEW YORK (AP) It will be possible now for the nation's boxing fans to settle back and start working up a fever over the heavyweight championship between Rocky Marciano and Ezzard Charles on June 17 without having to worry about whether their latest heart throb. Hurricane Jackson, is being done out of his rights.

Jimmy Slade, the happy character from Harlem, attended to that when he punched the latest television hero full of holes here the other night. It was reminiscent of the job Kid Gavilan did on Chuck Davey at the time the collegian was on the point of being terweight by popular acclaim. Fast Rise Jackson, like Davey before him, had looked unbeatable and positively lethal as he disposed of such name heavyweights as Clarence Henry, Rex Layne and Dan Bucceroni in startling succession- before national audiences. The 22- year-old seminovice from Long Island had almost overnight been acclaimed the country's No. 3 fighting man.

It was easy to believe too, watch- tag the relentless, tireless young Negro batter down his seasoned opponents. Even the professionals, such as Jack Dempsey, became excited over Hurricane. Even some of them thought he might already be the destroyer that Joe Louis was at his age, so it was barroom experts were infected. A Hunch The now goes that the pro- Brenner, who had "made" the Hurricane with his nationally tele- ibowi, had a strong hunch that Slade, though only a blown-up light heavyweight, could employ his unorthodox style to make the "pheenom" look like a monkey. Jackson's managers, it seems, had notified Brenner that they were quitting him to go big time and fight Charley Norkus for the Boxing Club in the Garden May 28.

In view of this larger opportunity, they suggested that Brenner tear up a contract they had signed, before their tiger stopped Bucceroni, for a subsequent meeting with Slade. Lost Bundle As Brenner had dropped a bundle on the Bucceroni bout through having guaranteed Bucceroni $10,000, the promoter said no. He wanted a chance to get his money back, and he knew Jackson would fill his hall. Also, he had his aforementioned hunch, even though the odds makers thought he was dead wrong, 18 to 5. So the Hurricane was forced to go through with what looked like only necessary chore, and he doesn't know yet where all those punches came from.

He looked perplexed at times, as though he suspected his smaller tormentor of using four gloves. At any rate, it made for a highly entertaining evening, and both Marciano and Charles can relax for a while. COMMERCE. Holding, the East Texas State College stringbean, leaped the magical seven feet the other day and now his coach says he'll do it in a meet before the track season is over. Holding, who packs a meager 172 pounds on a 6-foot frame, has been soaring over the 6-foot-9 mark for four years.

His best was at the Southwestern Recreation meet at Port Worth in 1951. This year he did 6 feet inches at the West Texas relays, tops in the nation thus far. A Brush Holding made the seven feet Saturday while the Drake Relays, to which he wasn't invited, were going on. Dr. J.

J. Hawthorn, head of the physical education department did the measuring. The bar was at 7 feet 2 inches and Holding brushed it as he went over. But it didn't fall. The jump was measured from the sag line in the bar and it was found to be an even seven feet.

Yesterday, he leaped 6 feet 10 and his coach, Delmar Brown, said he is confident that Holding will make seven feet in one of the three i meets he has left on his schedule triangular meet with Howard Payne and Southwest Texas. State Saturday, the Lone Star Con- ference meet May 14-15 and the! NAIA meet in June. Holding couldn't compete in the Kansas and Drake Relays because, he was a four-year-man-he con- i peted as a freshman.
