Del Ennis ‘The Menace’ On Hot By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Del Ennis, (the menace) second only to Stan Musial among active National Leaguers in life time runs batted in, was on the hottest slugging spree of his career today and it was no coincidence that the Phillies were challenging for the second place consolation prize behind the runaway Dodgers. Ennis is no glamour slammer like Musial, Ted Williams, Duke Snider, or Ted Kluszewski but the Philly outfielder quietly keeps piling up RBI’s, 100, or more a season until he now has 987, only 13 short of 1,000 for his career. He has gone past the century mark in five of the past six seasons and today, with 78, second highest total in the majors to date, dependable Del seems sure to do it again. He wound up a happy weekend Sunday in the Phils’ 6-5, 3-0, sweep over the Cardinals, driving in all of the runs in the six-inning rain shortened nightcap with his fourth homer in two days after smacking a double and single in the opener and driving in another run. On Saturday, hitting three homers, he drove in seven runs. The Phils, who now have won 14 of their last 15 games, gained the opening triumph in a five-run third in which Bobby Morgan homered and Roy Smalley hit a three-run double. Jack Meyer struck out the side in a rescue job for Curt Simmons in the ninth of the opener and Saul Rogovin pitched his second blanken in a row as a Phillie with a four-hitter in the bob-tailed nightcap. Yankees Regain First Place The Yankees regained first place in the American League by sweeping Kansas City, 7-3, 2-0 while Chicago split against Boston, winning 4-0 on Billy Pierce’s seven-hitter, then Josing 2-1. Cleveland moved into a virtual second place tie, two percentage points behind Chicago and a game behind the Yankees with 5-1, 5-3 triumphs. First of All-Stars On Tap Tonight On tap tonight is the first in a series of “All-Star” games to be played throughout the Summer by the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department’s Juvenile Leagues. Tonight two games will be played. The preminiliary game will be between the “B” National and the “B” American Leagues, which begin at 6:30 p.m. The feature game of the eneving between the “A” American League, and the “A” National League. winning run with a single. Narleski To The Rescue Ray Narleski, who now has relieved in 34 games and eight out of the last nine, balled out Bob Feller and Early Wynn in Cleveland’s twin wins. Al Rosen hit a first game homer. It was Feller’s 265th win and third this year. Wynn, though tagged for 12 hits won his 12th game. Rookle Ted Abernathy held Detroit to seven hits after the Tigers cashed in on homers by Al Kaline, Earl Torgeson, and Jim Delsing to win the opener. Brooklyn put over seven runs in the sixth, three on Gil Hodges’ 18th homer to win the opener, even though Don Newcombe was bang- Rogovin pitched his second blanken in a row as a Phillie with a four-hitter in the bob-tailed nightcap. Yankees Regain First Place The Yankees regained first place in the American League by sweeping Kansas City, 7-3, 2-0 while Chicago split against Boston, winning 4-0 on Billy Pierce's seven-hitter, then losing 2-1. Cleveland moved into a virtual second place tie, two percentage points behind Chicago and a game behind the Yankees with 5-1, 5-2 triumphs over Baltimore. Detroit, topped Washington 7-3 after which the Nats won 3-0. Brooklyn stayed 13½ in front in the National by splitting with second place Milwaukee, winning 9-7, then losing 9-2. Cincinnati topped New York to end a seven-game losing streak, then lost to the Giants, 4-1. Pittsburgh won its first double header since last Labor Day, 12-5, 3-2 from Chicago. Yogi Berra's two-run homer in the ninth gave rookie Johnny Kucks a six-hit triumph, his seventh, in a second game duel with Arnie Portocarrero, after the Yankees "rapped" up the opener in a six-run fourth in which Mickey Tantle's three-run double and Bill Skowron's home were the big blows. Bill Renna and Gus Zerniały tagged Whitey Ford for homers en route to his 11th win. Al Carrasquel's three-run homer was the big hit Pierce needed for his seven-strikeout triumph and Willard Nixon pitched a steady 10-hitter to beat Connie Johnson's five-hit losing effort in the second game. Sammy White drove in the twin wins. Al Rosen hit a first game homer. It was Feller's 265th win and third this year. Wynn, though tagged for 12 hits won his 12th game. Rookie Ted Abernathy held Detroit to seven hits after the Tigers cashed in on homers by Al Kaline, Earl Torgerson, and Jim Delsing to win the opener. Brooklyn put over seven runs in the sixth, three on Gil Hodges' 18th homer to win the opener, even though Don Newcombe was banged for 11 hits and rookie Don Bessent had to pitch in and win his third game in eight days. Duke Snider hit his 34th homer in the opener, too, but Hank Aaron was the whole show in the nightcap driving in four runs on a homer and triple as Ray Crone pitched a fur-hitter. Ted Kluszewski hit his 32nd homer, Wally Post his 25th and rookie Milt Smith his first in Cincinnati's first game triumph but Johnny Antonelli silenced Cincy's long ball bats in the second game for his eighth triumph as Willie Mays hit his 30th homer for the Giants. Dick Hall, who failed to make it either as an outfielder or infielder came back to the majors as a pitcher and twirled an 11-strikeout triumph for Pittsburgh that was one short of the club record of 12 set by old Babe Adams back in 1909. The Bucs made 19 hits to "easily" his job. Vern Law who pitched 18 innings of a 19-inning Pirate triumph on Tuesday, had to go 10 innings for the second triumph in which he struck out nine and gave four hits. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE Singleton On Perfect Pitch By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer Elmer Singleton, who will never be rookie of the year in the Metropolitan Opera, was nevertheless on perfect pitch yesterday. Singleton tossed a near-perfect no-hitter against the frustrated San Diego Padres in the seven inning second game of a Pacific Coast League doubleheader to win 2-0 and increase the lead of first place Seattle to four full games. The Padres, who couldn't win whether they hit or not, lost the first game 8-7 in spite of 17 hits and a 7-1 lead in the eighth inning. to dent Singleton's pitching record. He got no farther and the Padres had one man left on base. In the opening game the Padres got 17 hits and were coasting when Seattle broke out in a huge rally for six runs and a tie in the eighth. Then in the bottom of the ninth ex-major league star Vern Stephens hammered a home run and the league leaders were further out in front. Jim Brosnan pitched the Los Angeles Angels to the win in the first game in San Francisco with twin wins. Al Rosen hit a first game homer. It was Feller's 265th win and third this year. Wynn, though tagged for 12 hits won his 12th game.

Singleton tossed a near-perfect no-hitter against the frustrated San Diego Padres in the seven inning second game of a Pacific Coast League doubleheader to win 2-0 and increase the lead of first place Seattle to four full games. The Padres, who couldn't win whether they hit or not, lost the first game 8-7 in spite of 17 hits and a 7-1 lead in the eighth inning. Everybody else split the Sabbath twin bills. Los Angeles got past Francisco 3-2 and then the Beavers two-hitted the Solons 3-0. And Oakland, a 5-3 victor over Hollywood, was trampled 7-2 in the second game.

Then in the second game Tony Ponce tossed a six-hitter and won his first game in nearly two months. In another display of not using the base hits at hand, the Sacramento Solons got 18 hits off Portland pitching and still had to pull out a 5-3 decision in the final innings. Al Heist's two-run homer in the seventh brought the Solons into a tie after nine hits in the first six frames had produced only one run.

UP — Norrid Tony Trabert, 24-year-old Wimbledon champ from Cincinnati, racked up another title today in his campaign for world tennis leadership. Trabert, who won 24 of his last 5 tournaments, defeated Vic Sixxas of Philadelphia, Sunday, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 for the 56th annual Pennsylvania state lawn tennis championship at Merion Cricket Club. Trabert was in top form in beating the 31-year-old defending champion in the 53-minute match. Bothayers wore spiked shoes because of a steady rainfall which delayed the match for one hour. It was the eighth straight time this year that Seixas was beaten by Trabert, who recently won the national Clay Courset title at Atlanta.

SPORT PARADE The ‘Hawk’ Threatens To Nip PGA Championship By OSCAR FRALEY NORTHVILLE, Mich. UP—The “Hawk” threatened today to win the PGA gold tournament in absentia. That’s what the pros call Ben Hogan. And, while he isn’t even here, the tiny marvel of the fairways may have decided the issue in this coveted tournament last April. Because Tommy Bolt goes out in the semi-finals today inspired by the “know how” of the “The Hawk.” Bolt murdered former U.S. Open champion Lew Worsham Sunday 8 and 7. Now he meets Cary Middlecoff in the semi-finals. Without stint Bolt credits his progression to Hogan, and he is convinced that he will win this event which undoubtedly stacks up as one of the major marathons in golf. New Mental Attitude “Ben did two things for me last April, just before the Masters tournament,” the likeable Tommy explained, “He changed my driving grip and he gave me a new mental attitude—that old Hogan attitude.” Since receiving Hogan's tutelage, the black-haired Oklahomaian slowly has been bringing his game to a peak for this event. “I guess I have hit millions of golf balls,” he grinned. "But no matter what, I kept hooking. And when the pressure got on me, I'd hook it into an impossible spot. Not any more. Ben turned my left hand over a little bit and I can lay that drive on a handkerchief." Yet, in the old chilled-steel Hogan manner, it goes beyond mere golfing mechanics. I spent a week with Ben just...

All of Fame Opens Its Doors Today COOPERSTOWN, N. Y. (UP) — baseball's Hall of Fame officially opens its doors today to admit the newest members of its galaxy stars—Joe DiMaggio, Ted Lyons, Zazzy Vance, Gabb y Hartnett, John F. (Home Run) Baker, and Jay Schaik. All six of the diamond greats are expected to take part personally in the colorful ceremonies officially inducting them into the hall. At the conclusion of the ceremonies, the Milwaukee Braves andoston Red Sox were scheduled toash in the annual major-league exhibition game at Abner Double-belly Cuppers breezed to a 6-2, 6-4 victory. Rain forced postponement of the mixed doubles final. Miss Althea Gibson, New York state champion, and Kurt Nielsen, Denmark, wereading Yola Ramirez, Mexico city, and Sam Glammalva, Houston, Tex., 5-4, when play was halted. It will be resumed next week, probably at Orange, N. J., where cost of the players will be entered the Eastern tournament. "I guess I have hit millions of golf balls," he grinned. "But no matter what, I kept hooking. And when the pressure got on me, I'd hook it into an impossible spot. Not any more. Ben turned my left hand over a little bit and I can lay that drive on a handkerchief." Yet, in the old chilled-steel Hoag manner, it goes beyond mere golfing mechanics. "I spent a week with Ben just before the Masters and on the 14th hole at Colonial I probably received my greatest help from him." Tommy said. "The pin was angled in back of a trap. Ben faded an iron dead to the plin. I played it safe, to the 'fat' part of the green. He sneered at me and called me chicken-hearted." Becomes Adopt Driver So Tommy Bolt became an adept driver—and a "golfing gambler" with the percentages on his side simply because he can hit those putt-saving approach shots which he never before dared. You'd think that, with his game at its peak, he'd be happy. But Tommy isn't. The gallery and what he describes as a "phoney" reputation make his days a divider - digging nightmare. "Somebody stuck the name of 'Temperamental Tommy' on me back when I first broke in," Bolt says with understandable bitterness. "Believe me, I haven't thrown any more clubs than Sam Snead (whom he beat in this tournament); Jackie Burke or Cary Middlecoff, just to name a few." Yet not a round goes by but what two, three or four people in the gallery urge: "Hey, when you gonna throw a club, Tommy?" The Enemy Public It's hard to fight your opponent and the public too." Tommy groaned. "Believe me, there isn't a mean bone in my body. I'm not a 'bad man.' I like people, and I want them to like me. The gallery's inspiration is one of the greatest things in golf. It makes you play harder than you know how. I do my best all the time, but I'd like people to like me even more than I'd like to win." It was said simply without rancor. But it came from the heart. And it made you hope that people would give Tommy Bolt a cheer now and then and watch him, just for a change, with the old philosophy: Bloomers Victorious Over Sluggerettes By MARIE ANN DARGATZ The Anaheim Bloomers in a thrill-packed game evened the score against their rival, the Fullerton Sluggerettes Friday night to the tune of 8-7. This was the Sluggerettes' first defeat as their pre-game record stood 5-0. This victory for the Bloomers gives them a 2-2 record. The Bloomers took the lead in the first inning by a margin of 4-1, helped by a home run hit by pitcher Francis Reid.

The Anaheim gals held their lead in the sixth 7-5. Going into the top of the seventh due to a combination of hits and errors the Sluggerettes were able to tie the score 7-7, but were unable to score two more runners left on base. In the bottom of the seventh, Searight, the Fullerton pitcher, struck out the first batter. The second batter, Charlene Allen singled followed by a bunt from the bat of Jill Formola which sent Allen to second. On an overthrow to first Allen dashed across the home plate for the winning run. Francis Reid issued three walks and struck out seven. Searight gave up eight hits and walked four. Tonight the Bloomers will face the Buena Park-Kittens at the Buena Park Recreation Center at 7:00.
