Padres, Stars Keep Hot On Trail of Leading Oaks By the Associated Press San Diego and Hollywood apparently are not conceding the Pacific Coast league pennant to Oakland. The Padres from the south swept a seven-game set from Los Angeles with 10-6 and 6-5 wins yesterday, while Hollywood tamed Portland twice, 5-1 and 8-7, to make it six out of seven. Oakland was hard-pressed to split with Seattle, 0-5 and 5-3. The Oaks found their lead whittled to seven games over the Padres, 7½ over Hollywood. Still quite comfortable margins, but the situation bears watching. The Oaks just managed to take the Seattle series, four games to three. San Francisco wound up with a four-three edge over Sacramento after trading close ones yesterday, 1-0 for the Seals 6-5 for the Solons. Manny Perez twirled a two-hit shutout to beat Matt Surkont in the opener decided by Dario Lo-digiani's double and Joe Grace's single. Jim Tabor's two-run single in the ninth gave the Solons the nightcap. Al Smith pasted a grand slam homer in the 12th to bring San Diego its initial win. Another four-run outburst in the fifth clinched the finale. Suitcase Simpson poiled five hits during the day. Hollywood got a five-hit pitching job from Pete Mondorff, chalking up his first win as a starter, and then went on to win for hard-luck Herb Karpel in the afterpiece. Frank Austin hit his first two homers of the year in the second game for the Portlands. Schroeder Says Davis Cup Is Ultimate Goal NEWPORT, R. I., (AP) — Ted Schroeder, Amerian's top amateur tennis player, today loomed a virtually sure bet to become the No. 1 singles performer on Uncle Sam's Davis Cup team—but he has no intention of entering the national singles championships. The refrigerator salesman from La Crescenta, Calif., won his first grass courts tournament of the year yesterday — the Newport Casino invitation—but he said the Davis Cup competition will be his final goal this year. Asked why, he answered: "I have a personal preference for competing at Newport and Longwood (the national doubles opens today at the Longwood Cricket Club, Brookline, Mass.)" Scrubs, Ritz Notch Victories Second place Anaheim marked up their sixth win of Open League basketball cam Friday night as they output a determined Fullerton 46er 30-25 on the AUHS courts. The Scrubs managed to throughout the match but without effort. In the end it Scrub hussle that made theference. Ronnie Faulkner, Sh Welch and Rel Schmitt basketed seven. Iram We Jim Ball and Augie Huesca, Al Smith pasted a grand slam homer in the 12th to bring San Diego its initial win. Another four-run outburst in the fifth clinched the final. Suitcase Simpson poled five hits during the day. Hollywood got a five-hit pitching job from Pete Mondorff, chalking up his first win as a starter, and then went on to win for hard-luck Herb Karpel in the afterpiece. Frank Austin hit his first two homers of the year in the second game for the Portlands. Oakland was held to four hits by Rainier Jim Davis, but bounced back with four runs in the first inning of the closer to even honors against Paul Richards' hard-fighting Seattle crew. Rainiers Frank Colman and Lonnie Frey homered in each game, but Don Padgett's three-run circuit blast proved decisive for the Oaks. No games are slated today. Aussie Cuppers Threatened with Squad Overhaul RYE, N. Y. (P)—The Australian Davis Cuppers are in the challenge round again, but there might be a big overhaul in their line-up before they face the United States in the main event Aug. 25-27 at Forest Hills, N.Y. The 32-year-old John Bromwich no longer is physically up to playing two singles and the doubles within three days. That was proved without much question as the Aussies finished off the Swedes 3-2, in the interzone final which ended yesterday at the Westchester country club. The narrow escape convinced most of the assembled experts that Captain Harry Hopman of the down under forces will be wise to substitute the 20-year-old "baby" of his team, Ken McGregor, for Bromwich in the challenge round singles." Whitewater Meets Trigo Tomorrow LOS ANGELES (P)—Chief Archie Whitewater meets Mario Trigo in the 10-round main event tomorrow night at the Olympic auditorium. Prior to dropping a split decision to Rudy Cruz last Tuesday, Whitewater had won six in a row, three by knockouts. Trigo recently returned from Honolulu, where he whipped Philip Kim in an upset.

They are Noland McQuown, Los Angeles policeman, No. 1; Clyde Hippenstiel, San Bernardino, Calif., No. 2; Andy Paton, Ann Arbor, Mich., No. 3 and Bob Dixon.

Asked why, he answered: "I have a personal preference for competing at Newport and Longwood (the national doubles opens today at the Longwood Cricket Club, Brookline, Mass.) and that's all there is to it." Arick Man, Jr., non-playing captain of the defending champion U.S. Davis Cup team, was clated when Schroeder defeated Art Larsen of San Francisco for the Newport title, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. But he got a scare when Budge Patty, the Wimbledon champion from Los Angeles, suffered a severely sprained right ankle in the doubles final. Patty and Schroeder were leading Billy Talbert of New York and Tony Trabert of Cincinnati, 7-9, 6-4, 6-4, 4-4, when Patty, diving for a low ball, injured his ankle. Talbert and Trabert thus won the crown by default. Taken to Newport hospital for X-rays Patty learned that the sprain might keep him off the courts for several days. With cold compresses on the ankle, Patty left last night for the Longwood club driven by Belgian champion Philine Washer. Man wore a big "I told you so" grin after Schroeder beat Larsen, particularly since he had been subjected to some criticism for supporting Schroeder this season—as in the past—for a Davis Cup singles berth.

Y.—(AP)—When Ezzard Charles defends his NBA heavyweight title against Freddie Beshore tomorrow night the shadow of Joe Louis will be over the ring. The negro champion from Cincinnati has everything to lose and little to gain by a victory over the blond Harrisburg, Brough, Dupont Favored to Cop National Doubles BROOKLINE, Mass., (AP) —In spite of their surprising loss in the finals of the Essex women's tournament, Mrs. Margaret Osborne Dupont of Wilmington, Del., and Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Calif., are favored to retain their championship in the national doubles tournament which begins today. Mrs. Dupont and Miss Brough, eight times national and four times Wimbledon champions, were whipped in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1; Pa., challenger. Upon the outcome depends a $500,000 September Louis-Charles bout. Charles enters the ring a 1-5 favorite over the comparatively unknown Beshore, but he can't take any chances. He doesn't intend to, either. The champion is fully aware that the boxing world will be interested in the effect of his long injury-imposed lay-off. He also realizes Beshore has made most of the long wait for the twice-postponed fight and kept in trim. "I'm not taking him (Beshore) cheap as long as he's been in training," said Charles. "As a matter of fact, I never take it easy in any fight. It'll go 'til one of us gets in the way.

Fullerton 000 2(10)2 0 14 11 1 Hearn Proves Bargain In Giant Pitching Fold By JOE REICHLER Associated Press Sports Writer James T. Hearn, an unheralded righthander from Atlanta, Ga., is the top candidate for the baseball bargain of the year honors. Just two months ago, the St. Louis Cardinals gave up on big Jim. They sold him to the New York Giants for the lowly waiver price of $10,000 after he failed to win a game. Today, it is doubtful if they could buy him back for 10 times that amount. Since joming the Giants July 14, Hearn has made six starts and New York has won five of them, including a 2-0 decision over the Philadelphia Phils yesterday. Hearn may not hurl the Giants to a flag, but his performance against the National League leading Phils yesterday couldn't be improved upon. He allowed the hard-hitting Phils only four hits, walked one and struck out three. Ken Johnson was the loser. Wes Westrum and Don Mueller knocked in the runs. The victory gave the Giants an even break in their four-game series with the pacemakers, and a record of 19 wins in their last 23 games. Despite the loss, the Phils remained five games in front of the second place Boston Braves, who took an 8-2 cuffing from the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Cincinnati Reds dropped the Cards into fourth place as Lefty Ken Raffensberger whipped them, 3-2. The Reds helped them place become a bit more secure as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox lost while the Cleveland Indians divided a doubleheader. A four-hit batting performance by outfielder Paul Lehner and a four-hit pitching effort by southpaw Lou Brissie enabled the Philadelphia Athletics to vanquish the Yankees, 5-2. Vic Raschi was the loser. Rookie Al Sima, with the help of reliefer Mickey Harris in the eighth, pitched the Washington Senators to a 6-5 victory over the Red Sox. Third baseman Eddie Yost drove in a pair of runs with a single and double and scored twice for the victors. Sparked by Manager Lou Boudreau's pinch single and Larry Doby's two-run triple, the Indians came from behind to win the opener, 5-2, with a five-run eighth inning. The White Sox tapped starter Dick Weik for five runs in the first inning to win the second game, 7-5. Catcher Gus Niarhos' double with the bases loaded cleared the sacks. Ray Scarborough was the winner. Bob Feller won his 11th for the tribe in the opener. Detroit, which faces Cleveland in the only American League game tonight, is sitting comfortably with three and a half game leads over the Indians and Yankees. The Yanks hold a one-point edge over the tribe. The Red Sox are eight games off the pace. and Fred Haney of the Stars to act as honorary managers. Sunday results: R H E L. B.

Both games were scheduled nine inning affairs. Saturday was a sad night for the locals. They posted a two-run lead over the visitors in the fifth, then errored themselves right out of the win column in the eighth and ninth frames. Final score was 4-2 for the Rockets. Fresno got one hit; the Lynx seven. Frespo committed one error, the Lynx a soul-shattering eight. Beverley Meissen hurled no-hit ball for eight innings: When three errors in the next-to-last produced two runs she asked to be relieved. Tommy Slappey came in in the ninth. She allowed only one hit, but her backers bobbled four times for two more Rocket runs. Evelyn Boughen tripled Beverley Meissen home for the first Lynx run in the fifth, then got home on Patty Averett's bingle. Sunday night was a different story. The Lynx regained stature as they blanked the Rockets 5-0 in a nine-inning thrash. Tommy Slappey doubled in the seventh to set up scoring machinery. Two following batters outed and then Mary Whitney stepped up and blasted one for a round-trip ticket. Rocket catcher took the heave from the outfield and threw the ball way at third trying to nab Mary so the latter got credit for a triple. The Lynx bounded back in the eighth with three more. A walk an error and singles by Slappey and Evelyn Boughen accounted for the trio. The two teams vie next at Fresno in a two-game series August 26-27. Tomorrow night the Lynx meet Santa Ana at Amerige Park in a benefit game for the Fullerton Firemen's Christmas Fund. Saturday: R H E Fresno 009 000 022 4 1 1 Buena Park 000 020 000 2 7 8 Huber and Schlegel; Meissen, Slappey and Whitney. Sunday: Fresno 000 000 000 3 3 Buena Park 000 000 23x 5 7 2 Greenwood, Miller and Schlegel; Alsup and Whitney. Jimmy Bloodworth, now with the Phils, played in 92 games at second, 23 at first and eight at third for Cincinnati last season. Detroit, which faces Cleveland in the only American League game tonight, is sitting comfortably with three and a half game leads over the Indians and Yankees. The Yanks hold a one-point edge over the tribe. The Red Sox are eight games off the pace. Erv Palica pitched the Dodgers to a two-percentage point margin over the Cards for third place. Peewee Reese, Carol Furillo and Palica each clubbed three hits off loser Bob Chipman. Bobby Adams hit four for four and drove in two runs and scored the other in the Reds' victory over St. Louis. Alpha Brazle was the loser. Ralph Kiner slammed his 32nd homer of the year and 200th of his career to help Cliff Chambers gain his ninth win for Pittsburgh. Mel Queen fanned 11 Cubs and held them to five hits and no runs in giving the Pirates a clean sweep. BEAUTIFUL EXHIBIT OF Flowers...
