TIGERS NEAR TOP SPOT IN
 AMER. LEAG.
(By the Associated Press)

Detroit owns one of the most beautiful baseball parks in the country but the Tigers would just as soon play elsewhere.
 The reason? The Tigers have beer almost unbeatable on foreign fields In contrast they've played under 800 ball in Briggs Stadium.
 Manager Red Rolfe is at loss tc explain the surprising turn ot events but as long as the Bengals keep winning away from home. he doesn't care. The -thatched pilot is confident his charges will find the winning combination on home soil before long.
 The Tigers wnippeo une Senators in Washington, "A, last night for their 18th triumph in 9 games away from home. That's an amaz- ing 1884 percentage and far better than the front running New York Yankees fine record of l4-4 on the road. At home Detroit has won only eight while losing nine.
 Yesterdays triumph coupled with New York's 3-2 defeat by Cleveland pushed the runner-up Tigers up within game and a half of the Yankees.
 Boston's third place Red Sox bur- jed the Chicago White Sox under a 12-0 shellacking to climb within four games of the top.
 Dodgers Keep Top
 Brooklyn's Dodgers gained undis- puted possession of first place in the National League vanquishing the Chicago Cubs, 13-1, in the only afternoon game while the Phila- delphia Phils shaded the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5. In the only other league game, the New York Giants edged out the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-4 in 10 innings.
 The Dodgers now enjoy a half game edge on the Phils who swept past the Cards by half length on

 TWO TITLES IN W0ODCO(k GO

WHITE CITY STADIUM, Lon don, June 6--R-Lee Savold won the British and European versions of the world heavyweight title to- night beating Bruce Woodcock, who retired at the end of the fourth round with badly cut eye.
 A sellout crowd of 50,000 watched the American boxer from Engle- wood. NJ, finish off the British fighter with a devastating attack in the fourth.
 Savold, strong and rugged, fol- lowed a fighting plan which sur prised the crowd.
 Right from the start he stalked the British champion around the ring and took a lot of right hand punches in bid to get in close and jab and hook with both hands.

 WILL BATTLE. FOR POSITION
(By the Associated Press)


 The San Diego Padres and the Hollywood Stars climb back aboard the Pacific Coast League teeter- totter tonight for another of those picturesque frolics designed to dump somebody on his reputation.
 Much has transpired since these two behemoths first assaulted each other May 23. The Padres were atop the pack by three games then. To- day, the clubs are virtually tied for the lead. with Hollywood ahead by two scant percentage points.
 There's sleeper in the race, too the Oakland Acorns. They're in third place, only three games of the pace, having whipped San Diego five games to three last week Ano the Oaks open tonight against last place Sacramento.
 Hollywood will pitch Ken Lehman (6-4) in tonight's opener. He's the 21-year-old lefty who knocked over the Padres twice in the first series at San Diego.
 Although the pennant marathon has four months to go, events this week might well decide the ultimate championship. It is generally con- ceded that Hollywood and Sar Diego will be closely embroiled right down to the finish, and the odo game in this series might look inn posing on closing day.
 There is also a chance that some lurking enemy-Oakland, specific ally-might slip in while the giants are killing each other off.
 Fourth place Portland entertains sixth place Los Angeles, and two other second division squads, San Francisco and Seattle, hook up in the other series openers.

ROBINSON
 HIT5HARD;
 WINS BOUT

PHILADELPHIA, June 6 R - Sugar Ray Robinson, the master craftsman of the ring, has a one- forty eighth interest in the middle weight crown today after doing workmanlike job on stocky Robert Villemain of France.
 But the lanky Sugar from New York's Harlem definitely would like the other 47 parts-even to the extent of giving up his welter- weight title-before retiring in two years.
 Robinson won the Pennsylvania version of the pound champion ship last night before disappoint- ing crowd of 22.004 which .paid $i19,00749 to see the fight. He dis played a variety of blows that, while not able to knockout tine squat Frenchman, caused Villeman to say in his dressing room:

One of the others was Margaret

always thought Iceland consisted
of a landing strip, mud. rocks,
winds strong enough to blow the

huts which gave you choice be-
tween freezing to death and suf-
locating from the fumes of oil
stoves. The people of Iceland
read more books than anybody in
the world and it is possible that
they have read about la raspa. It
is also possible that Miss Thors
picked up her knack for it at the
Congo Room, which is a fine meet

There is one thing that must

The Mexican Hat Dance used
to be something you watched
girls with pretty legs do in night
club floor shows, but you may
find yourself doing it any night
now, no matter what the contour
of your cams. The Mexican Hat
Dance now is a ballroom dance
known as la raspa. It is being
performed with great enthusiasm
by the young-it has to be by the
young-most notably on the local
scene at the Cartoons Congo
Room.
1t was introduced to the Congo
Room by Ramon Ramos, the
happy Latin American bandleader
there, and almost any night you
will find 1t being done with en-
thusiasm by representatives of
the Latin American diplomatic set.
The other night, for example, the
raspa was being done all over the
place-and all over the place is the
only way it can be done-by such
experts as Hortensia Perez de

He is Don Bestor and you will find
him making lifting music marked

Well. Mr.. Bestor has been play
