Campbell Advances
In British Amateur;
Stranahan Defeated
BY the Asseeioted Press

MUIRFIELD, Scotland, May
27.-Bill Campbell of Hunting
ton, w. Va, gained the quarter
finals of the British Amateur
Golf tournament today by beat
ing E. L. Dalton of South Africa,
l up. but Americas other top
hope, Frank Stranahan, was
beaten.
Stranahan bowed to Ernest
Millward Of England, 4 and 8,
in the sixth round.
Campbell had an even par 70
for the 18 holes against Dalton.
The South African was one over
par with 73.
Millward, 1853 English ANA
teur champion, shot 81. two
under par, on the frontside Of
the 6.806-yard, par 72 Muirfeld
course to take a two-hole lead
after nine holes.
Stranahan Trails After Fifth.
Stranahan was not able to win
a hole after the fifth. Putting
spectacularly, the Engiishman
was four under par for the Is
holes played.
Stranahan sank two long puts
on the outgoing nine-a "a
footer on the first and 45-footer
at the fifth-but most of the
putting honors went to Millward.
The Englishman won the sixth
and seventh with puts of more
than 10 feet and added the 10th
when Stranahan'S second shot
caught bunker. Millward added
a birdie 3 on the 18th, where
he laid an approach to the pin.
The next three holes were halved
in parS.
This was the second match of
the day for both and sent Mill
ward into the quarter-finals.
Stranahan, victor in 1948 and
1850, turned back Alan Thir-

Stranahan turned nine holes
all square with his English rival
although Thirwell shot the
frontside in even par 36 to
Stranahan's 81. Thirwell's game
collapsed on the backside, how

cautiously crossed their fingers.
The Dodgers are coming. They
invade the Polo Grounds for a
three-game series starting to-
morrow night against a club
that has been showing more
signs Of life than most experts
expected.
The Giants have tended to
streakS this spring and the last
five days have been one of their
good periods. BY whipping Pitts
burgh, 2-1, yesterday they took
over second place, a game and
q half behind Milwaukee.
The Brooklyn series won't make
or break the Giants. But If they
sweep three games. or even gain
a 2-1 edge in decisive fashion,
they'll find themselves in the
midst Of the hottest pennant
talk since they knocked of
Brooklyn three years ago.
The fans already are buzzing
and the cigarette company that

has worked up a special singing
commercial about the dire things
in store for Brooklyn this week

Giants Get Only Four Hits.
Yesterdays game with Pitts
burgh was the kind that could
have gone either way.
New York got only four hits,
a single and a home run by
weak-hitting Davey Williams
and two doubles by Willie Mays.
Williams single figured in the
first run. His homer provided
the winning margin.
Mays hitting has been one of
the brightest features of the
current streak. Willie has raised
his average from .260 to .304
with 10 hits in Is times at bat.
Included were two homers, two
triples and two doubles.
Brooklyn fell to third last
night, half a game behind the
Giants, by losing to the Phillies.

CHICAGO, May 27.-To all in
tents and purposes. Chuck Davey
appears through as a profess
sional boxer, ending the career
Of one of television's first ma
tional sports heroes.
Davey was more than self
made, he was television- made.
He advanced undefea ted
through a series of warm ups,
backed by the International Box
ing Club, until he reached the
top-a title fight with Welter-
weight Champion Kid Gavilan
Is months ago.
His bubble, incubated with
painstaking care with an eye on
a national following born from
television. then was bust by
Gavilan who stopped him in the
10th.
Vince Martinez last night, in
the same Chicago Stadium ring,
showed less mercy than Gavilan.
He kept Davey, the ex-Michigan
State collegiate champion, off
balance with strong left jabs-
a rarity for a righthander
against a southpaw like Chuck.
And when he threw his rights,
the balding Davey was shaken
down to his dancing feet. Davey
went down four times-in the
first round from a steaming
right to the jaw; twice in the
third from stiff left hooks, al
though Referee Frank Sikora
ruled slip on one of them, and
again for an eight-count in the
sixth from a series of rights.
Martinez was credited with a
technical knockout in the
seventh round. An Illinois Ath-
letic Commission doctor had ex-
amined Davey after the sixth
round and ruled the bout.
scheduled for 10 rounds. should
be stopped.
The acknowledgement bout
drew ringside crowd of 1856
that contributed to a gross gate
of $10.667. Davey weighed 149
and Martinez 148R.
"It's a rough statement to
make that Davey is through"
said his manager, Hec Knowles.

There is so-called breakdown" policy
in force at Rosecroft Raceway at the
moment. The presiding steward, Milton d.
Taylor, suspended two Of the better known
drivers the other night One received a
f1ve-day layof for driving in an inconsistent
manner by not contesting the race at any
stage" and the other drew IS days for being
"listless and inconsistent"
Now these, in most any other sport,
would be considered grave charges. But in
harness racing, apparently, a few days on
the ground is punishment to fit the so-called
crimes. To the layman 1t doesn't add up,
especially when he is cognizant of the fate
that befell others in different fields.

wind up their series with the
Yankees at Griffith Stadium, but
Lemon will take over against the
Athletics. With any reasonable
facsimile Of the batting Lemon
has shown Manager Bucky Har-
ris thus far. he'll be hard to dis
place.
Lemon, so lightly regarded by
the Indians that he didn't crash
game with them in the first
month Of the season, was injured
In his first starting assignment
with Washington two weeks ago.
He collided with Wayne Terwil-
Tiger in Chicago when both were
pursuing pop fly and was mac
tive until last night.
Bats in Winning Run.
Jim's introduction to Wash
ington fans was a huge success.
After Pete Runnels and Ed Fitz-
Gerald had singled with two out
in the ninth, Lemon appeared
as a pinch-hitter for Terwilliger
and crashed a long hit to left,
scoring Runnels with the run
that finished Lopat's 12-game
winning streak against the Sena-
tor. 2-1. Lopat hadn't lost ito
Washington since June 26. 1851.
Lemon, who led the Texas
League in home runs with 80 in
1850, has batted only six times
with the Senators and has pro-
duced three well-kissed singles.
His blow last night easily could
have been a double, to which he
would have been entitled, but
Jim didn't bother to touch Sec
ond base.
HE looks too promising to sit
on the BENCH" Harris said. I'm
going to give his knee another
day Of rest. then put him in the
starting lineup against the Ath-
letics. Could be he'll find him
self and II he does we're going
to have a better attack. Poten-
TALLY he's a terrific hitter, but
he hasn't seen much pitching
lately and it figures to take
steady playing to bring him
along"
Porterfield Superb.
Lemon gave the 6,791 custo-
mers their final thrill, but it was
Porterf1eld's superb pitching
which kept the Senators in the
struggle until Jim jammed his
decisive single to left. Thus Lo-
pat, unbeaten in compiling five
victories, took his first cefeat.
Porterfield, who won his fifth
straight and his sixth of the
year, pitched his seventh success
sive complete game and his only
loss over that span was a 2-1
crusher by the Tigers in IL in
nings.
Bob had to have a little extra
in the eighth and ninth innings
and he did. Jerry Coleman
opened the eighth with a double,
but Porterfleld famed Mickey
Mantle. Coleman took third as
Terwilliger threw out Yogi Berra
and Porterfield then struck out
Gene Woodling.
Joe Collins started the ninth
with double to center and it
was at that point that Roy Sic
vers contributed the fielding
gem of the evening. He leaped
high against the leftf1eld fence
to haul in Gil McDougald's deep
drive.
Runnels Leads Way.
Andy Carey walked, but Lopat
went down swinging and Hank
Bauer forced Collins at third
with a sharp grounder to Eddie
Yost.
Sievers and Jim Busby
grounded out in the bottom of
the ninth. but Runnels popped
single into left and FITZGERALD
singled to center. That set the
stage for Lemon, who responded
just as a script writer would
have plotted it.
The Yankees scored in the Sec

and was forced by Woodling.

Hope For National Minerals Policy Soon

WASHINGTON, R-The cabi- net committee working on pro- posalS for national minerals pol icy is hopeful of completing it's recommendations in about two weeks, a high government official said Monday
 Secretary of the Interior Mckay is chairman of the committee Serving with him are Secretary of State Dulles, Secretary of Com merce Weeks, and Arthur s. Elem ing, director of the Office of De- fense Mobilization.
 An official said it was entirely possible that some recommenda- tions which it is believed might be of immediate benefit to the min ing industry may be made pub lie as advance segments of the report before the full report is ready"
 President Eisenhower appointed the committee last Oct. 26, saying in letter to Mckay that lone of the essential problems before cur country is the establishment of a national policy relating to the production and utilization of min erals and metals"
 The President particularly took note of depressed conditions with in numerous metal mining dis tricts and said they were "a mat ter of grave national concern"

Ike Says Sen. Mccarthy Should Not Sit In Judgment of Own Case

WASHINGTON, President Eisenhower said today (a) there is nothing in the current unemploy- ment situation calling for emer- gency action, and Gb) in response to a question about Sen. Mccarthy that no man should sit in judg- ment on his own case.
 Eisenhower was reminded by a reporter that he had said March probably would be the key month in determining whether a slump in business and employment would be offset by new gains.
 The President replied that he had implied that March was a significant month because there is usually an upturn in business in this month.
 He said that always after the end of war there was a drop in production, adding that employ ment went down at the same time
 One thing that is affecting the situation, the President said, is that Easter is late this year and the ladies just haven't been buy ing yet.
 He said, firmly however, that nothing has yet developed which would call for slam bang emer- gency program being applied at this moment.
 As to Mccarthy, the President was asked his opinion of the sen ator's stand that he would not vote on matters related to his h. vestigations subcommittee's in quiry into his dispute with Army officials but would insist on the right to cross examine witnesses.
 Eisenhower declined to express a specific opinion on that, but he said he was ready to go on record as to the general situation.
 When a man is party to a dis pute in America-directly or in- directly-he should not be per mitted to sit in judgment.

Officer Pockets
 $2OO,OOO In Worn Out Military Money

TOKYO, R - An Air Force major entrusted with destroying worn out military currency and a former officer have been arrested for allegedly pocketing some $200,000 destined for the furnace, the Air Force announced tonight.
 Maj. Thomas Pate of Los An geles, under house arrest here, has helped recover most of the money, Far East. Air. Forces said. No charges have been filed against him.
 The FBI in Washington identi- fled the second man as Lowell A. Logan, "A, of Springfield, Ohio. Now a student at the University of Iowa, Logan was arrested Sat urday at Iowa City. He pleaded innocent to a charge of embezzl- ing $20,00O in federal funds.
 Pate has been finance officer at Tachikawa Air Base 20 miles southwest of Tokyo.
 The Air Force said he admitted swapping script of small denomi nations for bigger currency and then falsifying records to show that the bigger certificates had been destroyed.
 The role allegedly played by Logan was not announced.
 When arrested, the major was carrying $66,OOO in US. currency. Military personnel in Japan are required to use only military script while on duty in Japan.
 Misuse of $2OO,OOO would make this case one of the biggest mili- tary currency scandals in Japan.
