“Stan has found it pays to play a few tournaments and then lay off for a spell,” Balding said, “Perhaps I can acquire the habit from him.”

Balding, who earned about $30,- 000 last year, said he has won about $6,000 so far, near the same amount he had at this time last yea-r.

Leonard won the Totlruament of Champions at Las Vegas last week, winning about $20,000.

Yesterday we gave you a look at some of the attendance fig'ures‘so far this season and we expressed surprise that New York Yankees were not drawing larger numbers than last season when they had competition from the Giants and Dodgers. The- ggyvds were about 36 percent below Yankee figures for this time

When Dodgers and Giants departed there was anguish that soon gave way to indignation. The indignation was very quickly supplanted by indifference and that's apparently the state of things

_ at the moment.

he was refreshingly candid.

Flatbush is going on as usual without the Bums and life in New York still goes merrily along minus the Giants.

The great affection which was lavished on the two New York National League teams will hardly be transferred to the American League Yankees. Many old followers of the Giants and Dodgers are convinced that the American League doesn't really play base- ball. They assert that they merely import patsies for the Yankees to kick around. They add that the loop contains only four teams with a license to be in it and the rest aren’t worthgoing to see.

With the departure of the two National League clubs went the ever-popular arguments,on the respective merits of Mantle, Mays and Snider. Those verbal battles were always humdingers and nobody ever won.

Some experts are figuring now that the Yankees will be hurt by absence of the two former New York teams. They argue that when the Bombers leave town on an extended western swing lbybtthe time they get back the folks will have lost the baseball

a 1 . -

Some folks are wondering what has happened to all the people that used to attend the Dodgers and Giants games. Nobody knows with any degree of certainty but there are so many sporting events in the New York area every day that these folks can find their entertainment without patronizing Yankee Stadium.

'l‘hey’re not doing much bf that up to the present.

Someday soon, somebody is going to take those Chicago Cubs seriously. '

The heretofore lowly Cubs are showing no signs of cracking and as of Wednesday were breezing along at the top of the National League heap. Their exalted position has come about not only by solid base clouting or sound pitching but by a combination of those two most necessary qualities.

Monday they sent the rookie Hobbie against the hard-hitting Cincinnati Redlegs and he responded handsomely. ‘He threw a four-hitter at Birdie Tebbetts’ boys and blanked them 4-0. Another ‘rookie’ to the Cubs but certainly not to the National League, Bobby Thomson, gave Hobbie all the help he needed when he blasted a three-run homer in the very first inning. The young pitcher never looked back after that. ’

If moundsmen like Drott, Hobbie, Elston, Drabowsky, Fodge, Mayer, Brosnan and Nichols keep moving along, there’s no telling what the Cubs will be doing. Just let fellows like Thomson, Moryn, Banks, Walls and Gary] keep smashing that apple and somebody really is going to get hurt. ‘ '

Of course it's far too much to expect that the Chicago pace

will be maintained but then stranger things have happened. .\ Wouldn’t it be a real ‘honey; of ‘an upset?

The Cubs have another youngster in catcher Sammy Taylor who felt he had no future until traded by Milwaukee.

Sammy got some first class satisfaction last week when he cracked his first big league homer against none otherthan hi

former buddies, Milwaukee Braves. Many athletes who come back to haunt their former club shrug off their feats‘ as nothing special. But not Taylor. He was in no such modest mood .In fact "I wanted to beat those boys” the young catcher said smilingly. “I wanted to go right over and laugh in the Little Red Rooster’: face.” He was referring to Milwaukee pilot Fred Haney.

Taylor figures he really got a break when Haney decided to trade him to the Cubs. The Braves paid a whack of dough for, another catcher (Hawk Taylor) who is now at Jacksonville and “Sam-my figured that Hawk would get every advantage after the large outlay. Those advantages would come, surmised Sammy, at his expense.

Well Sammy was cut loose and he was the men. He gives credit to Cub manager Bob Improved catching, stating that Bob worked hard ‘with this spring, teaching him to keep the ball in front of

Right now Scheffing claims that Taylor is his catcher against right-handed pitching.

It will be interesting to see how the younkster makes out. Of fifiicular interest be his performances against the Milwaukee

aves.

HOUSTON, Tex. Brown defended his world's light- weight‘ championship Wednesday night by beating Ralph Dupas of New Orleans on a technical knockout in the eighth round of their scheduled 15 - round title match.

Dupas actually was knocked out but the referee let the fight go on when the New Orleans fighter arose. The referee, Jimmie Webb, said he thought there had been only a 9-count.

Brown’s second, Bill Gore, tried to tell the referee what had oc- curred.

Twice more Brown, the little champion from Houston, knocked Dupas down. The third time, when he arose after an 8 - count, the referee stopped the fight... It was ruled a technical knockout in 2:21 of the eighth round.

It was Brown’s fourth defence’ of his title in 16 months and the fourth straight knockout. The lit- tle Negro, who has been cham- pion since August, 1956, was well ahead on point-s at the time of the technical knockout. He had started out slowly, using only his left, and it was the fourth round before Brown decided to go with his right.

All the-time he had thrown up a virtually impregnable defence. But it was left hooks that took care of Dupas in the fatal eighiih. Each weighed 134 pounds.

At first the referee left the im- pression he thought it was only a 9-count instead of 10 in that eighth round mixup- But after the fight he explained to newspaper men that he had stopped his count because Brown wouldn’t go back to his corner.

It d-idn’-t matter, anyway, ex- cept that it only caused more punishment for Dupas.

(AP) — Joe.even in the first round on all cards and Dupas was given only,

three rounds on the highest card. Judge Bill Cornelius held that Du- pas took the third, fourth and seventh round-s while judge Ernie Taylor figured he won only one- the th-ird-—with two even. Ref- eree Webb gave Dupas the fourth and seventh rounds, with the first even. The Associated Press voted the first and third rounds even, Brown to have won the second, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds and Dupas to have won only the second.

DUPAS’ BIG ROUND

In the fourth, Dupas’ best round, the black-haired New Or- leans boy got in two left hooks and a couple of hard rights to the head and repeatedly registered with left jabs.

But from then on Dupas was going down. Brown started his downfall with a one-trwo at the ropes in the fifth round. He started hitting Dupas repeatedly about the head. He shifted to the body in the sixth but still got over some left hooks to Dupas’ face, now becoming as red as a tomato.

Dupas bounced back to open the seventh round with a flurry that caused Brown to retreat. Dupas got several jabs to the face but c-ouldn’t hurt’ the slipping, block- ing, dodging Brown. Brown drove a hard left hook to the head that backed Dupas into a corner. Here he gave him the one - two again and got a hard right to the head that jarred Dupas. It was prob- ably this blow that made Dupas fairly easy prety for Brown In the eighth.

Brown was making good on a boast. He said Tuesday that he

NEW YORK (AP)-—The water- logged New York Yankees are wondering Wednesday if they ever are going to see sunlight again. In the last two weeks they have been rained out of eight ball games.

Not a wheel has turned since last Friday when Bob Turley beat back the challenge of the upstart Kansas City Athletics. Satur- day’s game with the A’s went down the drain. So did a profit- promising Sunday doubleheader with Chicago White Sox which was expected to draw 40,000 fans.

After Monday’s open date, the rains forced postponement of both and Wednesday games with Cleveland Indians. It doesn’t look bright for today’s game with Cleveland with the weatherman forecasting morning

rain.

With the May 15 cutdown date coming up, manager Casey Sten- gel is getting restless about his broo. Three players must be cut loose, farmed out or traded by next Thursday to get down to the 25-man limit.

Nobody. knows for sure who is going. The guessing among men closest to the club all season is that Fritzie Brickell, a reserve in- fielder, may be farmed out and Al Cicotte, a pitcher who-hasn't seen action, may be traded or sold.

Either 42 - year - old outfielder Enos Slaughter or Marv Throne- berry, rookie first baseman, could be the other to go. Slaughter has been at bat only twice and Throneberry three times in the first 14 games. Neither has a hit.

Anniversary Of Score’s Iniury

NEW YORJK (AP) — It would have been poetic justice for Herb Score, brilliant Cleveland fire- baller, to take the mound at Yan- kee S t a cl 1 u m Wednesday and -pitch a no-hit, no-run game against the Yankees.

Just one year ago Wednesday a line drive off the bat of the Yanks’ Gil McDougald struck Score in the right eye and almost ended a pitching career that may yet reach wondrous heights.

But there was no game at Yan- kee Stadium Wednesday. A mor-

would knock out Dupas in the seventh or eighth round but that he would outpoint the New Orleans fancy dan if the fight went the limit. Well, he was out- pointing him when he knocked him out.

Brown proved a fighting ma-

way and threw up a terrific de- fence for Dupas’ counter-punch-

ing.
