5-1 Win Over Phillies
HelpsGiant's Chances
PHILADELPHIA - (A') - The
grimly-determined New Y o r k
Giants pounded out a 5-1 victory
over Robin Roberts and the Phi-
ladelphia Phillies last night to
close within one game of the
first place Brooklyn Dodgers.
While the Giants were win-
ning, the wobbly Dodgers dropped
a twi-night doubleheader to the
fourth-placenBoston Braves at
Boston, 6-3 and 14-2.
THE GIANTS now are closer to
the National League leaders than
they have been since May 19
when they trailed the Dodgers
by two games despite a fifth-
place slot in the League stand-
ings.
The Giants called on their
ace starting pitcher, Sal Maglie,
when Jim Hearn faltered in the

seventh. Maglie induced pinch
hitter Del Ennis to bounce into
a double play to end the inning
and the Phils' last threat.
It was an interesting pitching
duel between Hearn and Roberts
until Hearn was kayoed in the
seventh.
S * *
THE GIANTS scored single runs
in the second, third and fifth to
build up a 3-0 edge when the
Phils came to bat in the seventh.
Willie Jones led off with his
22nd home run of the year, a
mighty wallop into the left cen-
ter field stands. Hearn got the
next batter but Eddie Waitkus
and Del Wilber followed with
consecutive singles.
Manager Eddie Sawyer of the
Phillies derricked Roberts in fa-
vor of Ennis and Leo Durocher of
the Giants countered by replac-
ing Hearn with Maglie.
THE COUNT went to three and
two on Ennis before he tapped to
Alvin Dark who started the twin
killing that ended the inning.
Topor Made
Eligible for
GridPlayi
The Wolverine grid defense has
been greatly strengthened with the
announcement that first string
linebacker Ted Topor will be eli-
gible for competition this fall.
This decision was reached last
night at a meeting of the athletic
eligibility board which thoroughly
considered Topor's scholastic sta-
tus.
BOARD chairman, Ira Smith,
stated that Topor's record con-
forms to Western Conference reg-
ulations now that hehas made
up a deficiency in an anatomy
course that he previously failed.
Originally a fullback, but switch-
ed to quarterback last season the
212 pound Topor will probably
throw his weight around in the
defensive backfield where the
tough tackler can do the most
damage to Michigan's opponents.

WASHINGTON -(RP)-- Wash-
ington's Bob Porterfield all but
buried the Boston Red Sox's flick-
ering pennant hopes last night
when he pitched a masterful two-
hitter to give the Senators a 3-0
victory.
Porterfield had a no-hit game
for six innings. Johnny Pesky's
bounder over Porterfield's head
starting the seventh was the first
hit off him. After Ted Williams
hit into a double-play, Clyde Voll-
mer singled sharply to left field.

PORTERFIELD walked four and
struck out three to capture his
third straight game and even his

Washington scored twice off
Leo Kiely, rookie left hander, in
the second inning. With one out
Pete Runnels doubled to left
and Mike McCormick walked.
Clyde Kluttz's single scored Run-
nels. McCormick scored from
third when Aaron Robinson
dropped third baseman Fred
Hatfield's throw to the plate
after Hatfield had fielded Port-
erfield's grounder.
The Senators scored their other
run in the sixth inning when Sam
Mele tripled and scored on Gil
Coan's fly to Vollmer in right field.

BOSTON-(P)-Brooklyn's here-
tofore boastful Dodgers, suddenly
seized by panic, collapsed almost
entirely last night while dropping
a floodlighted doubleheader to the
Boston Braves 6-3 and 14-2.
Those shocking setbacks enabled
the furiously driving New York
Giants to whittle down the Dod-
gers' first-place lead to a single
game with three more to play. The
Dodgers still have five to go, in-

rally in the first inning of the
opener.
That savage onslaught took all
of the fight out of Manager Cbar--

from then on,.they were as panicky
as plough horses in a blazing barn.
AFTER CLINCHING the opener
in tt-e easiest possible fashion, the

hits and as many errors in the

and that was more than enough
to paralyze the Dodgers the rest of
the nIght.

ALBANY, N. Y. - (P) -- Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey yesterday ap-
pointed a new boxing czar for New
York State and demanded that
the fight game clean house.
In one breath, Dewey an-
nounced the resignation of for-
mer amateur boxer Eddie Eagan
and appointed Robert J. Christen-
berry, New York City hotel keep-
er, as chairman of the State Ath-
letic Commission.
CHRISTENBERRY, 52, is pres-
ident of the Hotel Astor. He for-
merly was a sports writer and
U. S. consular official. Eagan,
also 52, had held the $9,378-a-year
post since 1945.
In his letter of resignation,
Eagan said he was quitting be-
cause of the pressure of his
private law practice.
In appointing Christenberry,
Dewey detailed a program to im-
prove boxing. By implication, he
rapped the International Boxing
Club, which virtually has a mono-
poly on major ring events.
* * *
"EVERY AVENUE must be kept
open so that free competition ex-
ists in every licensed club in the
State, with equal opportunity for
every boxer," Dewey declared.
Points in Dewey's "cleanup pro-
gram":
1. Fullest reliance must be
placed on the Medical Advisory
Board and other scientific agen-
cies in order to reduce hazards of
the sport.
2. The members and profes-
sional staff of the State Athletic
Commission and their accumulat-
ed experience must be utilized to
the fullest.
3. "All the business of profes-
sional boxing must be conducted
in the open. Whenever major
questions affecting the sport arise,
they should be determined by full
and free discussion.."
