of st. Louis today, 6-3, 6-1,

in the Wimbledon tennis cham
pionships.
The 20-year-old American,

Mckinley, eighth seeded,
started the match with bounce
and confidence, but his dash
was soon dulled by the bril-
liant shot-making Of the Aus
tralian.
Laver gave one of the finest
exhibitions ever seen on the
center court. He had his high
kicking service smashing into
the corners and he attacked so
relentlessly that Mckinley was
thrown completely off his
timing.
The first six games Of the
match went with service. Then
Laver broke through in the
seventh game. Mckinley served
a double fault, and the Aus
tralian took the vital point with
a dazzling forehand passing
shot. e.

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
1t Happens Nearly Every Yeor
By FRANCIS STANN

ROGER MARIS CURRENTLY is Is
games ahead of Babe Ruth'S pace when he
hit his record so home runs in 1927. 1t hap
pens nearly every year-somebody named
Maris or Colavito or Killebrew or Banks
getting better Jump than the old Babe.
Maris, however, might just beat the re-
cord, although this is an utterance sounded
recklesSly in the past. But if nothing else,
the Yankees rightfielder has 1872 games 60
ing for him, as against the 154-game Sched-
ule which existed only until this season. In
this connection, MariS will have to hit his
60th or more homer by the 154th game or
else have his mark tainted
Some of the old pros in the American
League are thinking that Roger is sitting
in a pretty good spot right now. Gene
Woodling of the Senators was commenting
the other night. "Maris is hitting No. and
that's good" Gene said. "He gets to see
some pitches he can belt long way be-
cause the pitchers have to be worrying
about the guys coming to bat behind him.
Mantle" muttered Jim King as he sat
next to Woodling on the Washington bench.
Mantle and then Yogi Berra and Bill
Skowron," amended Woodling. "A pitcher
can't afford to put Maris on base and think
he can retire those other guys. All of which
makes it real nice for MariS, who doesn't
need much help to hit the long ball, any
way"
THE TIME THAT'S GOING to be rough
for Maris, Mantle or any other home run
hitter with designs on Ruth's record will
come in the stretch. The Babe in 27 hit no
fewer than II in September. No slugger
since has been able to match that closing
rush.
Yet, the way the balls are bouncing off
bats these days inspires players with the ex-
perience and restraint of Woodling and
Dale Long, home run hitterS of some re-
putation themselves, to marvel. I'm Yankee
Stadium last week end" Woodling re-
marked, II never saw so many pitches come
off bats so fast Mantle's home run in the
third deck Just missed clearing the facing
in rightfield. never saw anything like the
distance we're getting these days"
Maris' great half-season has got to be
considered great break for Rookie Man
ager Ralph Houk of the Yankees. His team
mates featS are making Mantle hustle as
perhaps never in the past and the result is
that the entire Yankee club now is looking
like potential winner
Houk succeeded Casey Stengel deplor-
ing his lack of bench strength but Ralph
was lucky to have three of his key men,

The New York Yankees, who
seldom have grown their own

denly have come up with a
peach of a pair in Roland

The two righthanders, fat

stung as relievers when De-

back as starters and now have
the Yankees within a half

never have thrown any better
than this season.

be a little more fruitful"
Five of his losses have been

The Senators have closed
the first half of their first
season in the noble experiment
of expansion. saving one of the
best pitching performances of
the year for the occasion, and
tonight they open the second
half with a four star attrac-
tion-the Twins.
Dick Donovan set the Orioles
down on four scattered hits
last night at Griffith Stadium
and came away a 10 winner
in drama too tense to have
been planned.
Had Gen. Pete Quesada, club
president, called for a spine
tingler to wind up the first
half of the season he couldn't
have been more satisfied.
McClain Faces Ramos
And what better attraction
to start off the second half
than the Twins, the team that
absconded with all the mem
bers of the old Washington
cast? The last time the two
clubs met near the end of May
at Griffith Stadium, the Sen
ators swept all three games.
That one still ranks as their
most glorious week end.
Pete Ramos, the troubled
Latin who sometimes looks like
he should rank among todsy's
greatest pitchers, will throw for

IF we do as we'll the second
half" Vernon said, that will
give us 70 wins. If we win that
many we'll surprise a lot of
people"
Sid Hudson, Washington's
pitching coach, pointed out
Donovan's control record-l8
bases on balls in SO innings.
That's as good as anybody
in the league" Hudson said.
Harry Schwarts, the plate UNI
pire, told me on the way in
that Donovan showed as good
control as anybody he has seen.
Those pitches were going in and
out right where they were sup
posed to.
Donovan also throws hard.
I'm surprised because I didn't
know he could throw that hard.
But of course ne didn't get
much chance to pitch last year

Two of the base hits Donovan
gave up last night were

With one out in the seventh,
Tasby, with one hit in his pre-

The victory was Washington's
third in 10 games with the

Ruling R Of Court our
Hits Northern
Jim Crowisrl

New York - The refusal of the
United States Supreme Court to
review a federal district court de-
cision requiring desegregation of
the all-Negro Lincoln elementary
school in New Rochelle, N. Y.
has positive implications for 9TH
Ter school cases in northern cities, (
Roy wilkins, executive secretary
of the National Association for
! the Advancement of Colored Peo7
pie, said here this week.
This is the first time, he point
ed out, that a school case involv-
ing de facto segregation in a north
ern city has reached the Supreme
Court. Such cases have thus far
been resolved at lower court levels.
THE NAACP is active in several
northern cities against the gerry
mander method of school segrega-
ton. y,
| The New Rochelle case was in
! situated by the local NAACP
fbranch. Following U. S. District
Judge Irving R. Kaufman's rul-
ling, the Board of Education ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals. At that point the NAACP
1 Legal Defense and Educational
Fund, Inc, was called into the
case. The Appeals Court by a two
to-one ruling upheld Judge Kauf-
mans decision.
The New Rochelle board sought
a stay of the district judges rul-
ing which required desegregation
with the opening of school in Sept,
1861. At a hearing before Supreme
Court Justice William j. Brennan,
| NAACP Attorneys Thurgood Mar
shall and Jack Greenberg appear
ed to argue against the school
boards motion for stay pending
a ruling on its petition for a writ
of certiorari.- Mr.. Justice Bren-
nam denied the stay and, on Dec.
| IL, the whole Court turned down
the petition for review of the case.
The New Rochelle school board,
| in a supposedly liberal north
ern city, fought the case at every
step up to the Supreme CourA and
then issued a ''spitefuP' statement
after the final decision.
