glance around, he unzipped the
bag. Nicky saw a thick bundle
of checks wrapped in gauze.
"Okay," said Nicky, trying to
keep his voice even. Let's CO."
On the balcony, he led them
to the Chinese agent-looking
inscrutable as a buddha with
his own case planted between
his legs.

The Chinese opened his Gaze

AS Sonnier began explaining
how to punch holes in the
checks, Nicky stood up and
stretched.
That was the signal. Before
he could sit down the balcony

agents.
Sonnier and Roger didn't
have a chance to draw their
guns. The handouts were on
them too fast-and on Nicky
and the Chinese, too. 1t was
there that Roger proved how
believably Nicky had played his
role.
Don't tell them nothin',"
he whispered to the agent.
Nicky's mission was accom-
plished. He had engineered the
big haul-half a million dol
lars worth of counterfeit
checks. He had lured a ring
leader, Joe Sonnier, into the
net. And Roger was revealed as
a check paSser. The shoes he
was wearing had come from q
store that had cashed one Of
the checks.
JoAnn'S prompt arrest in
Louisiana provided the first
clues to the location of the
check plant and the identity
of the mastermind. She didn't
name names but notes in her
bag did that for her. On one

Mckinley and Riessen
Bolster U.S.. PRESTIGE

CHICAGO, July "a (AP) .
United States Davis Cup
tennis prestige has been boil
stored by Chuck Mckinley and
Marty Riessen, who head to
Mexico City today to join
teammates for an expected
tough American Zone semi
finals with Mexico August As.
Bob Kelleher, United States
captain, said Mexico should be
favored. But this country'S
hopes we're raised yesterday
when Mckinley, the 21-year-
old ace Of the team, won the
National Clay Court champion
ship by defeating Australia's
Fred Stole. 6-3. 8-6, ga.
Stole, who recently teamed
with Bob Hewitt to win the
Wimbledon doubles crown, is
his country's sixth ranked
player. He was erratic against
Mckinley, netting A shots,
d ouble-faulting 10 times and
losing his service II of II
times.
The match, which took near
~ two hours to play at the
River Forest tennis club, was
expected to be closer. Stole
had defeated Mckinley the
only other time they had met.

Three Big DETECTIVES Face
Senators in Home Stand

Bright 10, Jim King 8. and Bob
Johnson Z.
Hinton Tops With Is
They lead the league in
stolen bases with 81, with Hin
ton tops with Is. Hinton also
leads in runs batted in with Al,
although this places him far
back among the league leaders.
Don Lock. the new outfielder
with the power when he con-
meets, is not expected to play
tonight. He probably will start
later in the series.
Jim PierSall's injured right
hand barely will stand the
pressure of the bat. but he was
5-for-l1 in the Yankee series
in which he started three
games and was a defensive re-
placement in the other. He
lifted his batting average over
$50 for the first time this sea-
son at .256.

BASEBALL BEAT
They're Not Laughing
At Senators Any More

JOHN SCHAIVE, THE court jester of the
Senators, picked up new bubble-gum
card showing his picture the other day and
he says he's going to send it to Manager
Mickey Vernon.
On the front is color picture of Schaive
taken some time ago, or when his weight
vas ITS. The text starts, "ItS only a mat
ter OF time until this young fellow makes
splash in the big time"
There's a cartoon Of a player swinging
a bat and sending the ball soaring over
the fence. Vernon just doesn't know all
OF these things" Shive, as his teammates
call him, said. On the bottom of the card
Is Schaive's major league batting record,
which Is not too complimentary. I'll Just
clip that off before send it to Mickey"
he said.
THE OTHER NIGHT in Yankee Stadium
1t was Just 10 minutes before game time
and Ed Doherty, general manager of the
Senators, said he guessed it was time he
was getting upstairs.
"If stay here they're liable to put me
in the lineup" he said.
"Sit still, Ed" Schaive volunteered. 1--WE
been sitting here three months and they
haven't bothered me-" s.r....
Schaive also had warning for Claude
Osteen, the Senators southpaw who Is to
be married next Monday night. Schaive
is scheduled to be the best man.
II told Claude he better have reserve
best man on hand for two reasons" Schaive
said. "One is that the second All-Star
Game is being played that day, and I
haven't seen Ralph Houk's selections for
the second game yet There's just slight
chance I. might be in Chicago"
ALSO" John said, 81 think that's the last
day player can be sent down to the mi
nors for another month. That's another
reason might not be here, and it's prob
ably better reason than the first.
Schaive told Piersal the other night that
he didn't see why Jim had so much trouble
living on $45,OOO year.
you ought to try living on $450O," he
said.
REMEMBER THE OLD ADS, 'They
laughed when T sat down to play?"
Maybe the baseball writer's covering the
Twins, Angels, White Sox and Yankees re-
member them.
They were making small jokes about
the Senators in all four cities, but only the
Senators were laughing when they left
town.
In Minneapolis, in Los Angeles, and par
ticularly in Chicago, where the White Sox
had won six straight, the Senators were
supposed to be stepping stones toward
closing in on the Yankees In New York,
the most complimentary word used on the
Senators was "pesky."

against the Red Sox Sunday.
Robinson also has II runs
batted in, only one less than
league leader Leon Wagner of
the Angels.
The Senators beat the White
Sox three straight last week
in Comiskey Park and for the
season are So against them.
The Senators have been most
productive against the teams in
the midwest, holding a 1920
edge over the White Sox, Cleve-
land, Detroit and the Twins.
They are closer to the Yam
KEGS (2012 games) than the
last four teams in the National
League are to first place in

runs against the Yankees in

Senators have only six less than

In Chicago, somebody wrote, Imagine
losing a double-header to a team with
names like Ken Retzer, Bud Zipfel, Ken
Hamlin, Tom Cheney and Don Lock" 1t
wasn't too tough to imagine, particularly
when the same names beat the White Sox
the next day.
The Senators have won nine out of IS
from first-division teams Certainly not
all four were caught sleeping How about
giving some credit to the team that won
the games instead of downgrading the ones
that lost?
BOSTON'S PETE RUNNELS is outhitting
all of the American Leagues first base
men, but in this stretch Harry Bright has
carried the most effective first baSeman'S
bat Chuck Cottier is giving the team the
best defensive second base job in the
league. The managers will verify that.
The left side of the Senators infield
needs help, but Bob Johnson is more at
home with the glove and bat at third than
he vas at shortStop and Ken Hamlin has
provided a spark at short When Ed
Brinkman fills in at either position he gets
the rave notices. Peewee Reese saw him in
just couple of plays at Yankee Stadium
and was most complimentary.
Chuck Hinton is as exciting, even though
occasionally as exasperating, as anybody in
the league. He leads the Senators in home
runs, stolen bases and runs hated in.
Piersall missed all but one of the games,
but Lock won one and Jim King gives 1t
the real pro effort and hits in StreakS.
RETZER HAS BEEN MENTIONED as a
candidate for rookie-of-the-year honors.
And the Senator'S pitching has been close
to the, best in the league in this stretch
Manager Hank Bauer of Kansas City told
Vernon. "Give me Dave Stenhouse and
Claude Osteen and I'll make a run at the
Yankees"
Bonnie Daniels suddenly is the pitcher
they hoped he would be. Don Rudolph
and Steve Hamilton are lefties with pug
cling pitches and Cheney Is beginning to get
couple of breaks with his fast ball and
world Of stuff
D
And the man the Senators missed most
in their early-season troubles, fast-baller
who could breeze through the late innings
and protecta lead, is on hand in the per-
son Of Jim Hannah. Since his return from
Syracuse, Hannah has been superb in
relief
Vernon is moving with confidence and
without hesitation. The coaches long hours
with the young pitchers are getting results.

tors, but recently nobody has been laugh

The Senators have several
ambitions in a 10-game home
stand opening with a night
game with the White Sox to-
night. Among them are con-
tinuing their recent squirt, gain
ing ground on the Athletics
and taking advantage of their
winning ways to boost their in
crease over last years home
attendance.
In winning 9 out of Is since
the All-Star break, the Sena-
tors have been behaving very
much unlike a 10th-place team.
They have reduced what once
was considered to be a pro-
hibitive margin to 51a games
behind Kansas City.
And with Chicago in for three
night games. the Red Sox for
a twi-night double-header Fri
day and single games Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon,
