collision of East and West, the fa
vorcd Brooklyn Dodgers strength
encd their grip .on the National
League lead by turning back the

The Dodgers thus increased
their lead to a full game and a

also accounted for the winning

pitched a good four-hitter.
[n the other National League

humbling the Pirates, §-1, on five

81% games out of first place. The
pirates used three pitchers with
Bob Friend the loser.

Derby Tria
y Trial
Won By Hill

Gail, 1: 36.6
o o U
By ORLO ROBERTSON
LOUISVILLE, Ky. April 30 —
(AP) — The 78th Kentucky Derby
looked very much like some Der
bies of other years today with the
combination of a Calumet-owned
horse, trainer Ben Jones and jock
ey Eddie Arcaro playing the fami
liar favorite’s role.
The combine moved front and
center for the SIOO,OO added run
around Churchill Downs Saturday
when Hill Gail took wings yester
day and fairly flew over a mile
to smash the track record in the
Derby Trial.
With Arcaro merely flicking his
whip in Hill Gail’s face, the big
son of Bull Lea reeled off the mile
in 1:36.6 to clip one-fifth second
off the traek standard and leave
eight other Derby eligibles far up
the track.
The closest, Mrs. Gordon Guib
erson’s California-owned Arroz,
was five lengths back. And some
42 lengths back came no less a
wellrated candidate than Alfred
Vanderbilt’s temperamental Cous
in blowing his last chance to prove
his right to be in the Derby post
parade.

THE BANNER-HERALD. ATHENS. GEORGIA
BY ED MILES .
Atlanta Journal Golf Editor
For once in his life, anyway, Billy Maxwell, the North
Texas State Shooting Star, will merit the famous old head
line which newspapers kept set up in bold-face type for
Bobby Jones.
When this year’s 15th annual
Southern Intercollegiate and
Southeastern Conference golf
tournament is played May 1-2-3
at the Athens Country Club it will
be, “The Field Against Billy Max
well.”

Travs Defeat
Bears; Crax
L.ose To Looks
The Mobile Bears, Southern As
sociation league leaders, have
every reason to hate the Travelers
from Little Rock.
The Dodger farmhands were
sailing along on a three-game
winning streak when Dutch Mec-
Call twirled the Arkansas club to
a 3-2 triumph last night, enabling
NMew Orleans to pull within one
game of first place.
Chattanooga swamped Atlanta,
5-1, New Orleans blasted the low=
ly Memphis Chicks, 8-2 and Nash=
ville gave Birmingham a 10-5 jolt,
The three-run uprising in the
seventh was all Little Rock need
ed. Mobile rallied for two runs in
the same frame but McCall, who
allowed only three hits, was su
perb in the clutch and preserved
the game. |
Sonny Dixon scattered eight At
lanta hits and snapped Howard
Boles’ hitting streak at 14 games.
The Lookouts now have won six
of their last seven games,
Frank Thomas, Paul Smith and
Floyd Fogg produced some lusty
hitting to show the way for New
Orleans. Thomas socked a pair of
home -runs and Fogg and Smith
each hit safely three times in five
attempts.
Nashville brought out the heavy
artillery and shot for the fences
as Dusty Rhodes polled a pair of
homers and John Liptak and
Rance Pless contributed one each.
The Barons got to John Über
and Pete Modica for a cozen safe
ties but three quick double plays
kept Birmingham at bay.

DODGE — PLYMOUTH
blue eye is defending champioi
with a chance to join ex-Miamian |
Al Besselink as the only golfer to
repeat in the college event rated
second only to the National Col
legiate in importance and fully
equal to it in prestige.
Maxwell won with a record 278
last year, the second in which the
title was decided at stroke play
instead of head-to-head match
competition. His 278 as two strokes
better than the 280 with which
Arnold Palmer, of Wake Forest,
won the inaugural medal play
tournament in 1950.
(Besselink’s victories in 1948
and 1949 were at match play and
both were too close for comfort.
In the first, he beat L. M. Carn~
nell, jr., of North Texas State,
l-up and in the second was nar
rowly victorious on the 37th hole
against Dave Smith, of the Uni
versity of South Carolina.)
Maxwell’s presence lends new
glamour to this well-established
event since he is the . National
Amateur champion, but he already
was a colorful golf figure when he
played at Athens in 1950. He was
even then being called the “little
Ben Hogan of Texas Golf.”
This was partly because he is
short and stocky like Hogan and
has a great deal of Hogan’s quiet
and relentless determination. And
he has the same compact style of
explanation of Hogan’s consistency
and power.
Maxwell lived up to his reputa
tion on his first appearance. He
started off with -a 68, added a 69,
then finished up with two fine
73's onlly to lose out to Palmer’s
hot finish of 68-72. Maxwell
wound up with a 283, three strokes
behind Palmer’s winning 280.
(Last year, Maxwell spread
eagled the field. He set a new
tournament record of 278 and
finished 10 strokes ahead of the
second man, Griffin Moody, jr.,
of Athens and Georgia, whose
score gave him the Southeastern
Conference title.)
Thus, if the National Amateur
and Southern Intercollegiate
champion is beaten out it will
comprise an upset of the dope.
Though a quiet, modest boy,
Maxwell cannot close his eyes to
the intercollegiate superiority he
has shown.
Hig Coach Fred Cobb, former
Georgia Tech football and baseball
star, says Maxwell now enters a
tournament with but a single aim
—first place. “Anything else,”
Cobb says, “leaves him with a
sense of failure.”

Rupp Feels Impact
Of Cage Scandals
NEW YORK, April 80.—(AP)—Three former Univers
sity of Kentucky basketball stars accused of fixing games
were free on probation today, but Coach Adolph Rupp, the
famed Baron of the Bluegrass, felt the full impact of the
college court scandal,
General Sessions Judge Saul S.
Streit castigated Rupp and the
University of Kentucky officials as
having to share the “responsibility
for corrupting and demoralizing”
the three ex-players.
On the recommendation of the
district attorney, Streit suspended
sentences for Alex Groza, Ralph
Beard and Dale Barnstable, all
former Olympic performers, but
placed them on indefinite proba
tion yesterday.
In a withering attack on Ken
tucky, Rupp and college athletics
in general, Streit said of the coach
who has led Kentucky court teams
since 1930:
“The undisputed facts are that
he aidéd and abetted in the im
moral subsidization of the players.
With his knowledge, the charges in
his care were openly exploited,
their physical welfare was neg
lected, and he ufterly failed to
build their characters or instill any
txgorals-indeed if he did not impair
em.
“In view of hig conduct, Mr.
Rupp’s sanctimonious attitude be
fore me becomes ludicrous and
comic.” r
Rupp did not answer the charges
,immediately. Nor would any offi
cials at the university comment.
Streit also accused the college
and Rupp of getting the players
“tops” after they played , well.
Beard testified he got $5 to $lO
from Rupp if the coach thought
he played well. Barnstable said
that if the players performed well,
they usually received from $lO to
S2O each.
Streit said the players frequen
tly were lavished with gift certi
ficates amounting to as much as
SIOO, fat bonuses before trips and
SSO tips from Rupp and team well
wishers after important games.
got 2 for 8 hits for the Lizards.
In the Cub league play yester
day the Ballhawks beat the Ter

Bums, 11-6; and the Sluggers
