THE BASEBALL
BEAT
BY BURTON HAWKINS

If the Dodgers don't leave
Chicago tomorrow with a pair of
victories at the expense of the
Cubs, at least two of their more
impressive streaks will have ex-
pired. Confronting the
Cubs today will be Don New

row it will be Russ Meyer on
the mound for Brooklyn, and
he's whipped the Cubs II
straight times. In addition,
the Dodgers have won all 10 OF
their road games this season.
What's so sad about the Sen
ators? If it's consolation
they're needing, they're closer to
the top in their league than the
second-place Braves are in the
National League. Mickey
Grasso, the former Washington

so is rated exbendable.
Julio Becquer. Washington

ing at a .354 pace with San Diego
but there are eight hitters ahead
of him in the Pacific Coast
League. Jim Lemon, who left
the Senators as an outflelder, has
been converted into a third base
man at Chattanooga. Roy
HaWes is leading the LookoutS
with a $50 batting mark.
Mickey Vernon is a .313 hitter
at Griffith Stadium and a 1927
hitter on the road this season. +.
The Senators have accumulated
20 home runs to 16 by their OPP
ponents. Roy Sievers has
bandaged hand-the result of
reporting early for extra batting
practice in an effort to shake his
slump.

NEW YORK, May 10 LP.-
Wildcat Billy McNeece is a
cinch not to win any boxing
titles this year. but he's a hot
candidate today for "Television
Fighter Of 1855" honors.
The 23-year-old ex-paratroop-

''loves to fight" and after watch
ing him once there won't be

Normally a 165-pounder, the
Wildcat was 9 pounds over that

over Ludwick Lightburn of Brit

There were no knockdowns in

the Cuban staggered his rival in

Bill Maca is winning on his

Maca played Goose Greek for

Pro-Amateurs last year while
completing his Army service, but
he won the $1,000 added Uplands
Open at Rolling Road late in
the season. He has more oppor-
tunity to play golf now, and is
nearing his peak.
Tenney gave Maca an oppor-
tunity to tie when Frank ran
into a double bogey five on the
18th hole. He was 2-under-par
at that point. and pared the last
two for his 72. Maca had IA
