III Hurlers Near 2O-Came Mark

NEW YORK R-Twenty, the elu-
sive victory peak all pitchers hope
to climb but only few do, is well
within reach of IL major league
moundSmen this season.
With the 1854 campaign enter
ing its second phase, seven Amer
lean League pitchers and four in
the National are at least halfway
''home."
Headed by Johnny Antonelli of
the Giants (13-2) and Harvey Had
dix of the Cards (13-4) the list in
cludes Bob Keegan (12-3), Virgil
Trucks (12-5) and Sandy Conseu-
gra (10-3) of the White Sox, Mike
Garcia (11-5) and Early Wynn Go
y of the Indians, Robin Roberts
of the Phillies (11-S), Bob Grim of
the Yankees (10-3) and Steve Gro
mex of Detroit and Brooklyn's
Carl Erskine (1O-S).
Not since 1851 when Is major
league hurlers made the grade
have the prospects for 2O.game
winners been so encouraging. How
ever, the al-time record of II set
in 1903 and tied in 1920 appears
safe.
For some of the pitchers within
striking distance this season, win
ming 20 games is nothing new.
Roberts, for example, has done
it the last four years in a row.

MILWAUKEE, Up - You probably
got the same idea from television-
that the All-Star Game pitching
Tuesday left something to be de.
sired-and a guy who was in a
position to know will back you up.
"Naw," said Roy Campanella
last night, none of 'em had
much"
Campy was waiting his turn in
the batting cage while his Brooklyn
Dodger mates were warming up
for what turned out to be their 2-1,
Thinning win over Milwaukee. He
caught the first seven innings of
the All-Star Game for the Nationals
as the American LeaguerS won 11-9.
"The only one who had anything
at all was (Marv) Grisson," Cam
PAMELA said. "His stuff was pretty
good. The rest of 'em were way
off"
What about Robin Roberts of
Philadelphia, who started for the
Nationals and was nicked for four
runs?
"He didn't have his best stuff"
Campy replied. HE was behind
most of 'em-2 and 0, 3 and O-and
that's not like him. Usually he's
throwing it right where he wants.
Why man, when l bat against him
he's mostly got two strikes on me
before 1 know it. He wasn't like
that yesterday, even if he did
strike out, what was it, five?"
Who looked the best for the
American Leaguers?
SWELL, let's see," Campy said,
pushing back his cap. 81 didn't face
(Virgil) Trucks. l guess it was
(Whitey) Ford (the New York
Yankee southpaw who started)."
Was he as good as in the World
Series last year?
Nav" said Campy, mot that
good. But he was the best they
showed.
ut was just one of those games,
you know, everybody hittin' and
not much pitchin' all around"

NEW YORK R-Nino Valdes
rides the glory road toward a 1855
shot at heavyweight champion
Rocky Marciano today as Hurri-
cane Tommy Jackson blows harm.
lessly out to sea.
The lobby of Madison Square
Garden told the story OF last nights
two-round TKO victory for the
Cuban giant on the automatic
three-knockdown rule. Valdes am
bled through a swarm of happy
admirers, pausing to sign auto
graphs and greet handshakers with
4 wide grin.
Outside, in the pouring rain,
Jackson walked with head down,
numbling to himself. His family
trailed behind, trying to convince
him to 60 back to the hotel.
81 won't fight nobody else until
4 fight him." Jackson had said in
his dressing room. He made a
stormy scene in the ring, tearing
the referees scorecard in two, be-
fore police ushered him to his
dressing room.
"He had nothing" said ValdeS,
through an interpreter. HE clown
fighter. Everybody expect us to 60
to body, we 60 to head in second
round" About Marciano? II knock
him out in four rounds"
Harry Markson, managing direc-
tor of the International Boxing
Club, said "Valdes rates the next
shot at Marciano after the rematch
with Ezzard Charles that we hope
to run in September"
Valdes, an lis underdog, over
whelmed the listless Hurricane,
who showed only one brief flash
of the fiery newcomer who stopped
Rex Layne, beat Clarence Henry
and knocked out Dan Bucceroni IN
his exciting rise from prelim boy
to No. S contender.
In the first round, the Cuban
thumped at Jackson's body with
both hands. Shifting to the head
when the jigging Jackson came
out for the second, Valdes drove
his man half through the ropes
with a solid right. Although the
timekeeper counted four, Referee
AL Berl ruled no Touchdown.
Another right sent jackson to
the floor for an automatic-eight-
count. Actually he was up at two.
Another furry and, a bull rush
drove Jackson to his knees. He was
up at one but the count again went
to the automatic eight.
The third knockdown that ended
the bout, under New York rules
that require a referee to halt a
fight when one man has been down
three times in one round, was dis.
puted by many in the crowd of
! 4,465. 1t looked as though a push,
following a blow to the neck, sent
Jackson down. No matter what t
was, Berl ruled "knockdown" and
the fight was over at 2:35 of the
second.
Valdes weighed 2O4, Jackson,
1907.

Homers Bring Fence Money
To Southwest Bush Leaguers

When a baseball player in the
Southwest's "bush leagues" hits
home run - or even a decisive
single - he heads for the wire
screen that separates the fans
from the playing field. There he'll
more than likely find a wad of
bills pushed through the netting.
1t is a custom peculiar to the
Sagebrush country - West Texas
and New Mexico.
No one knows the origin of the
custom. Regardless, the "fence
money" has kept happy some ball
players who could have made the
grade in higher company.
The class C West Texas-New
Mexico and Longhorn Leagues are
profitable to the long base hit
boys. Home runs average $40 or
$50 but sometimes get as high as
SITS. But the biggest take" was
reaped from a single.
Midland was leading Vernon in
the 194S Longhorn playoffs, three
games to two. In the sixth game,
Vernon held a 81 edge in the
ninth and Midland had two on
with two out. Eddie Mellilo lash
ed a single TO win the game.
Jubilant, wealthy Midland rooters
Clipped in 1881.
First Baseman Jim Prince of
Midland collected SITS when a
4O0-foot home run won a game.
Ponderous Joe Bauman of Ros-
we'll has hit better than so home
runs in his two previous Long
horn seasons and he had more
than 80 up to late June this year.
Joe should be in good financial
shape.
The hotter the game, the richer
the reward. In playoffs the ''fence
money" often runs into hundreds
of dollars.

Sports Roundup
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK Up - Now it's back
to the mines for our baseball
heroes, with all the big questions
still to be answered before they
choose up sides for the World
Series next fall.
Are the Yankees, working on a
nine-game winning streak when
they broke off for the All-Star
Game, at last making the major
move which will send them wing
ing toward their sixth straight
championship? Their opponents
fear so.
Can the Giants maintain their
dizzy pace of the past month,
which included six straight over
Brooklyn, and sail steadily on
through the hot months to an al
most uncontested National League
flag? Barring serious injury to one
or more of their key players, there
is strong opinion that Leo DurO-
cher's club can do just that.
Has age suddenly caught up
with the Dodgers in general and
Jackie Robinson in particular, or
has the ,club merely been caught
in a slump which may lift any
day now and transform it again
into the almost unbeatable team
that clinched the flag on Sept. II
last season?
Getting back to the first one, the
only possible reply has to be a
reluctant yes. The nations fans
for the most part are terribly tired
of seeing the Yankees win year
after year. So are seven other
clubs in the American League. But
there appears to be nothing any
body can do about it.
There is no obvious reason why
the Giants should not maintain
their present pace, or something
approximating same, if they keep
away from the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The club has enjoyed some luck,
true, in pulling a lot of games
from the fire in the late innings,
but that is accepted as the hall
mark of a good, sound outfit, which
the Giants are.
In assessing the Dodgers
chances, there are some interest
ing figures to be considered. A
year ago at this time the club,
which was to clinch the pennant
earlier than any other team in Ma
tional League history, had won 81
games and lost 81. Its standing to-

man Walt Aston has exactly come
apart. All the present standing in

gers have one outstanding team
arrayed against them this time,
the Giants, whereas last year they
had to beat only one good club,
Milwaukee, while fattening up on
the weak sisters.
