The swashbuckling 39-year-old Bolt, who insists that he has become tranquilized but doesn't act like it, turned the 1958 Open into a one-man parade Saturday. The leader since the start on Thursday, Bolt battled par and pressure with remarkable shot and self-control as he increased his lead on every round.

BY HAL MIDDLESWOKTH Free Pre Staff Writer NEW YORK Frank Boiling can throw a ball farther than he hit it Saturday to give the revived Tigers a thrill-packed 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees. With the bases filled and two out in' the ninth inning, Boiling dropped a single just behind second base to score two runners and clinch an exciting comeback by the Bengals. They had the game practically won a little earlier. Then Yogi Berra smashed a three-run homer off relief pitcher Tom Morgan. THAT MADE IT necessary for the Tigers to rally in the ninth for their second straight decision of the series and a 4-1 record under their new manager, Bill Norman.

Bob Grim, who was about to get the victory on Berra's homer after fanning three straight Tigers in the eighth, lasted just long enough in the ninth to walk pinch hitter Bob Hazle. Then the Yankees wheeled out Kyne Duren, their human lightning bolt who had struck out 40 men in 26 innings. Johnny Groth battled the fireballer before popping up and Ossie Virgil fouled off six pitches before flying out. 2 Drivers Hurt; Muneey Victor in Wild Boat Race Bold Ruler Beaten by The Man' Al Kaline, completing the biggest day he has had and climbing above the .300 mark for the first time this season, then beat out an infield single to Jerry Lumpe at third base.

Casey Stengel trotted out of the Yankee dugout for a word with hi big bullpen ace.
