NARROW LEAD I sortant AL. Serios Looms Between Yanks And Chisox By BEN P| GAR Associated Press Sports Writer : By Sunday night the American League may find itself with a tighter pennant race than the Na- tional League. ° New York Yankees will still be ahead but their margin could be cut to a single game. Brooklyn, on the other hand, stands a chance of ending the week-end as much as six games in front in the senior circuit. Here's the picture: The Yankees finish a series with St. Louis today and then invade Chicago for a doubleheader with the White Sox. New York is nurs- ing a four-game lead. Both the Yanks and the Sox, who play Wash- ington, should win today, but a pair of Chicago victories Sunday would not be surprising. If it goes that way, New York wil! lead by only two games. Brooklyn has won seven in a row from St. Louis at Ebbets Field and could well make it eight today 'in the windup of a four-game set. Then comes a pair with Cincinnati Sunday that the Dodgers should win. Milwaukee's second - place Braves, now three games back, face Pittsburgh Pirates today, and .|Lemon threw a five-hit shu then have to play two Sun with the revit New York Giants. A combination of three Brooklyn victories and three Milwaukee de- feats would fatten the Dodgers lead to six games. All first-division teams in the American ague won Friday night. The Yankees beat St. Louis 6-4 with the help of a triple play and four double plays. Chicago on Virgil itching. Bob ut for Cleveland a g ain st Philadelphia win 5-0, and Boston edged De- roit 3-2. The Dodgers trounced St. Louis twice 14-0 and 7-4. Milwaukee fin- ally beat the Pirates 8-2 after los- ing five straight to them. Cincin- nati ended Philadelphia's seven- ame winning streak with a 3-2 ision. The Giants and Chicago Cubs had the night off. Casey Stengel gambled om his new lefthander from Kansas City, Art Schallock, against the lowly Browns, but he didn't gamble long. The first time Schallock got into trouble Casey yanked him in favor of veteran Allie Reynolds, even though the youngster had a 4-0 lead. Reynolds was below par and Johnny Sain finished up after the Browns scored three runs in the ninth. . The galloping White Sox scored their 28th victory in their last 34 games with Trucks winning his sixth straight. The veteran fire- baller hasn't lost since moving to Paul Richards' club from the Browns in June. His over-all rec- ord now is 11-4. The Cardinals' pitching and field- ing fell apart in the first inning of the first game at Brooklyn and the Dodgers scored seven runs. Billy Fox hit a grand slam home run in the fourth and Gil Hodges hit a homer with two on in the fifth. Jackie Robinson hit two home runs, the second with two aboard, to wrap up the second game for Carl Erskine. Warren Spahn stopped the Pir- ates on four hits for his 12th triumph. Johnny Logan homered in the first inning to give the] Braves a lead they never 1 3 Cincinnati came from bepih v5 it edge the Phillies with Harry Perkowski scoring"the win- ning run in the eighth inning. The loss was the sixth for Curt Sim- mons who has won eight. Canada's Marlene Stewart Boards Plane For Home By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Canada's Miss Golf" flies home today and with her goes the first British women's amateur golf crown ever won by a Canadian. "Sorry to be going but awfully glad to leave," said 19-year-old Marlene Stéwart yesterday. She's had a 'really terrific time' but the old home town of Fonthill, Ont., is going to look awfully good. at will she do at home? "Practise," said Marlene, firmly. Get ready for the Canadian women's open and closed amateur tournaments at London, Ont., early next month where she'll defend her closed crown and try to regain the open title she won two years 0. A arlene and the rest of a seven- member Canadian women's golf team played their last golf of a jam-packen schedule in Britain ursday. It was a team effort where Marlene and Mary Gay of Kitchener, Ont., finished eight strokes behind the British winners. The tour started auspiciously in - early June when Marlene placed second in the Lady Astor Silver Salver Tournament and her team- maters were packed close behind. Marlene went out to win the British Open at Porthcawl, Wales. From there Canada's success was indifferent in team play against Northern Ireland, otland and England. Marlene attributed it to too much golf and agreed that the tour was the most concentrated spell of he game she'd me so far. 'Because it was team play, T felt bad about my own game," said Marlene, "But the other mem- bers can play far better than they did over here. We talked golf, played, it, ate it and slept it." Marlene said her concentration slumped, although her shots were good, in the round of competition, travelling and lavish hospitality. But the tour still remained a|1.30 wonderful expe: ce. Miss Stewart d sugges- tions that she may be turning pro- fessional, a topic several London newspapers discussed when she won the Open. She will be leaving for Rollins College, Florida, for her sopho- more year in October, probably to major in a business course. Accompany her on the flight today is Babs Davis of Vancouver and Miss Gay, as well as the Open cup in a stout wooden box. The five-foot Canadian cham- pion would like to return next year to defend her title but she doesn't know whether she can. i St. Catharines Lose Ground By THE CANADIAN PRESS St. Catharines Athletics are los- ing ground around 'their lead in the senior Ontario Lacrosse Asso- ciation Le ag ue. Peterborough Trallermen have taken over most it. The speedy Trailermen have moved within one game of the A's who a couple of weeks ago had a lead far out of reach of the Trailer- men. Trailermen's latest win came Friday night, while St. Catharines were resting, when they trimmed Toronto-Orillia West Yorks 24-5 on home grounds. Trailermen raced up to a 6-0 lead in the initial period, made it 10-2 halfway through and |* were in front 17-2 at the third quarter. , In the only other game of the night Fergus Thistles downed tail- I end Mimico - Mountaineers 15-7. Only rough spot in the game came at the half-way mark when Stan Kapasky suffered a broken elbow, Curly Mason and Rusty Slater each notched four markers for Pterborough." Roger Smith, Brian " Robinson and Ross Powless coun- ted three apiece. Bob Thorpe tal- lied twice, thé others going to Jerry Fitzgerald, Dutch Vitarelli, Don Ashbee, Nip O'Hearn and Mike MaGee. Leo Teatro led for Yorks with two goals while Tony D'Amico, |7.g, Don McPhail and Joe McNulty each managed singles. Bob Dobbie was top marksmax for Fergus with four goals while Bobby Gear notched three and Don Campbell and Harry Kazarian col- lected two each.

There are four teams battling it out for that spot right now with two tied at the present moment and one just a game and-a-half back. Whitby and Lindsay (The Only Club To Defeat The Transporters) Merchants are all knotted up with 11 wins and 7 losses. It leaves them both just 7% games behind the front - running locals. Cobourg are next with eleven wins and 10 losses. They stand a game-and-a-half back of the Whitby-Lindsay pair. Then comes Bowmanville, a ame-and-a-half back of Co- ourg. It is a real dogfight. And speaking of hound bat- tles, we imagine that such will be the case when the second- place Whitby crew move into the Stadium for that scheduled battle with the Transporters at 8.00 p.m. Considering the Whitby crew have always come close in their games with Oshawa . . . they've been far from beaten .'. . and the fact that they are tied for second with the only club to beat the McCallum crew, we feel sure the enter- tainment this evening will be of the greatest.

Yesterday's Stars By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHECKLETS -- From what we hear around and about, Maurice DeLoof, the Boston red Sox scout who signed Ted Stone, is more than a little curious about the game of cricket. So . . . the Oshawa Cricket Club, ably represented by its rep here at The Times, one Dick Brimmell, has offered to let him swing a bat and bowl a ball the next time he's in town. Maurice said he'd land back in Oshawa in about another week, so the grand showing shouldn't be too far in the offing. . He thought the baseball scouts were fast at the uptake . +..he now has a great re- spect for cricket scouts. In a recent letter from Doug Williams, the Whitby hockey star who played junior "A" for Stratford and has recently been playing with People's . Credit of the THL in Toronto, he mentioned the Oshawa Smith Truckmen. 2 Doug is heading up some committee in connection with the Hockey Arena fund drive in Whitby . . . which, by the by, is growing by leaps and bounds, but which could still stand a buck or two from your pocket. At any rate, Doug said in that letter, "It would be great to play for a club like that." 0 which all we can say is « ++ Hmmm, On the matter of golf, we hear through Hal Butler, pro at the Oshawa Golf Club, that Rev. Father Paul Dwyer scor- ed a hole-in-one on Thursday while playing in a twosome with Rev. Father Phillip Cof- fey. The ace was scored on the short ninth hole more familiarly known as the "horseshoe.

Canadians Leading Mexico In Davis Cup By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) -- Thanks to the brilliance of Henri Rochon and the courage of little. Lorne Main, who all but collapsed from sun stroke, Canada today holds a com- manding 2-0 lead over Mexico in a first-round North American zone Davis Cup tie. The Canadians won the opening singles of the tennis classic at the Mount Royal club Friday under a merciless sun that poured fiery heat down on players, fans and the trim grass courts. Shade tempera- tures reached well into the 90s. The furnace-like setting didn't appear to bother Rochon, who raced through a three-set victory over Mario Llamas, 6-2, 6-3, With Main it was different. The Toronto - Vancouver boy had to overcome not only stomach sick- ness, dizziness and leg cramps but also Mexico's 19-year-old power hit- ter, Francisco (Pancho) Contreras. Losing the first set, Lorne called on joi BR he had to pull out the win, 9-11, 8-6, 6-3, 8-6. Immediately after the matches, Dr. Georges Leclerc, Canadian team captain, announced that 22- year-old Bob Bedard of Sherbrooke Que. would team up with Rochon in today's doubles. Julio Lona, Mexican captain, said he would go along with Llamas and Contreras. Bedard, like Main, is a right- court player. Paul Willey of Van- couver, if the man on Canada's team, is a left-court player. Main's distress from the sun was evident early. He wasn't Playing with sureness and overlooked chan- ces where he might have forced Contreras into errors. At the inter- val after the third set' Main was reported running a fever. He took a moderately cool shower, and through the remaindgr of the match frequently sipped a cool Pitching: Virgil Trucks, Chi-|driok cago White Sox, won his sixth straight game since joining Chi- cago, a three-hit 4-1 victory over Washington. Batting: Jackie Robinson, Brooklyn Dodgers, hit two home runs, the second with the score tied and two on base, to-give Brook! a 7-4 second-game victory over St. Louis after the Dodgers had won the first game 14-0. "It was some sort of sun stroke," said Dr. Leclerc. "As early as the fourth game of the first set Main said he felt weak, with little strength in his arms and legs. He was dizzy and felt sick at his Stomach and his breathing was dif- "At one time he' told me he didn't know if he could finish out the match.

Llamas also said he was both- ered by the heat. His play was erratic, whereas Rochon came up with one of his best games in a long time. He made better use of his first service, acing Llamas five times against non2 for the Mex- ican, and his low shots had Llamas puzzled. Contreras piled up 14 aces against Main but couldn't follow up each time, and he double-faulted eight times to Main's four. Main played generally from the base line, occasionally taking the net when pressed. Contreras' serve was his strong game and his hard hitting, mixed with a net attack, frequently forced Main into errors but Lorne overcame this situation with more placements.
