Ten Whitewashes
Braves, 12 To 0
MIDLAND, July 30—Israel Ten
baffled the Sweetwater Braves on
four hits Tuesday night and the
Midland Indians backed him up
with a 13-hit attack for a 12 to 0

NY License
NKW YORK. July 30 IIPI—Phila-
delphia, Jersey City or Boston will
get the mililon-dollar YVlalcott-Mar-
ciana title fight in September un-
less Felix Bocchicchio is granted a
manager's license within a week
by the Now York State Boxing
Commission.
Bocchicchio, manager of heavy-
weight champion Jersey Joe V/al-
cott, has never had a pilot's li-
cense in New York Stale because
of his criminal record. However,
he had a New York second's li-
cense before Jersey Joe became
titleholder.
Promoter Jim Norris announced
Wednesday he will ask the com-
mission to grant Bocchicchio a
manager's license !o save the Wnl-
coUrRocky Marciano fight for New
Ymlc, "where it belongs."
Receive Pardons
Norris pointed out that Bocchic-
chio of Camden, N. J., has received
full pardons for any previous mis-
doings from two Pennsylvania gov-
ernors—John S. Fisher and James
A. Duff.
It was uncertain whether the
commission would grant the re-
quest of multi-millionaire Norris.
In a recent magazine article, com-
mission Chairman Bob Christen-
bc'iy scathingly denounced the
background and record of the man
who manages the heavyweight
champion. Unless bis fellow-com-
missioners, Dr. Clilan 13. Powell
and Leon Swears, over-ruled him,
Christenberry would appear to be
back-tracking if he granted Nor-
ris' request.
If Bocchicchio gets the license,
it's practically settled that the 15
round title fight will be staged at
Yankee Stadium on Sept. 23. Wal-
cc.'A.'' probably will take 40 per cent
of the net gate; Marciano, 20.
Army Club Wins
TEXARKANA, July 30 ItPi —The
Brooke Army Medical Center Com-
ets of San Antonio defeated the
Jim Hill Produce Company team
of Fort Worth 12 to 7 Tuesday
night to become the North Texas
semi - pro baseball champions,
thareby earning the right to meet
thy"South Texas champion Sintoti
Oilers for the state title.
Ken Staples, Ray Cuccharini and
Gus Triandos homered for Brooke
to pace the attack of the all-Army
team. Comet pitchers Jerome
Dahlke and Don Turley scattered
seven hits.
trouncing and a clean sweep of the
two-game series.
Jay Haney's Indians clobbered
Rolando Rodriquez and Marcelino
Solis for eight hits and 10 runs dur-
ing the first two innigs and Ten
had an easy time annexing his 11th
victory.
Rodriquez staggered through the
first inning, allowing Midland four
hits and five runs, then he gave up
thre more tallies in the second
without retiring a batter.
Solis came to the rescue, but he
couldn't stop the hit-happy Indians
either, and the resident nine boast-
ed a 10-0 lead when Boh Merritt
took over the Sweetwater pitching
chore in the third.
Merritt was tagged for five hits,
two runs during the next six in-
nings.
Bossenberry Homers
Successive doubles by Julio De la
Torre, Bill Brown and Woody Pen-
nington sparked Midland's five-run
first inning, and Earl Bosenberry's
lead-off home run ignited the
Tribe's five-run outburst in the
second stanza.
The Indians also took advantage
ot 10 bases on balls by the Sweet-
water trio.
Charlie Buck collected two of the
Braves' four safeties off Ten.
Sweetwater Catcher Tony Tras-
ptieslo, who was supposed to apolo-
gize to Midland fans for a cursing
incident earlier in the season, did
not suit out for the game due to a
stomach ailment.
The Braves journey to Big Spring
tonight to open a two-day stand
with the second-place Broncs, then
Sweetwater goes to Odessa for two
games.

By CARL LUNDOUIST
NEW YORK. July 30 IIP)— May-
be the Phillies or tne Cardinals will
perform the miracle in the Nation-
al League this season, leaving both
the Dodgers and Giants in a new
wreckage heap of broken dreams.
The evidence was growing Wed-
nesday in their favor, and if they
can continue to close ground on
the slumping leaders, they could |
either battle it out for the flag be-
tween themselves or turn the race
into a four-way free-for-all for the
wildest finish yet.
While both the Dodgers and Gi-
ants kept floundering Tuesday
night, the Phils and Cards extend-
ed winning streaks with vital vic-
| tories. The Phillies made Luke
jSewell's last night as manager of
Ihe Reds an unhappy one by scor-
ing 6 to 1 and 4 to 3 victories,
while the Cards t 13 innings to
score a 6 to 5 doc.sion at Boston.
Both teams now have won five
| games in a row.
Pirates Down Dodgers
Pittsburgh, beaten 13 straight
times by Brooklyn, finally rose in
belated fury and won, 7 to 1, to
extend the Dodger panic streak to
five losses. The Cubs topped the
Giants, 4 to 2. on the margin of
two-run homers by Tommy Brown
and Bill Serena.
In the American League, the
Yankees made Casey Stengel wait
until the last minute before giving
him a glorious filst birthday pres-
ent, a 10 to 7 victory over the
White Sox with seven runs in the
ninth inning. Four of t'ne runs scor-
ed on Mickey Mantle's second
grand slam homer in four days.
The Indians stayed three games
behind by defeating the Red Sox,
4 to 1, while the Browns topped
Washington, 7 to 3, and the Ath-
letics split at Detroit, winning 5 to
0, then losing 10 to 8.
The Phils were spunky all the
way, climaxing their big evening
by putting over two runs in the
ninth in the second game on Willie
Jones' double, a sacrifice, singles
by Eddie Waitkus and Mel Clark,
an error by Roy McMillan, and a
game-winning single by ex-Red
leg Johnny Wyrostek. That count-
ered a three-run homer by Andy
Seminick in the top of the inning
which put Cincy in front, 3-2. In
the opener, Curt Simmons hurled
seven-hit hall for his ninth victory
Cards Won .On Error
The Cards made t(S hits, includ i
ing Stan Musial's 13th homer,
while A1 Brazle retired the last 10
batters in a row in a superb relief
job. Sibby Sisti's error with the
bases loaded sent home the win-
ning run for the Cards.
Pittsburgh made good use of 10
hits, including homers by Gus Hell
and Joe Garagiola. to give Murry
Dickson his eighth victory, an
eight-hitter.
Warren Hacker struck out seven
batters and scattered eight hits to
record his ninth victory as the Gil
ants were kept four games behind
the Dodgers. The Cards now are
BVi" games behind and the Phils
lVh. Jim Rhodes hit his fourth
homer in six games at the Polo
Grounds for New York.
The Yankees, scoring six unearn-
ed runs in their big finish, would
have been out of the game in de-
feat had not Hector Rodriquez
hobbled a grounder on which he
should have retired the side.
Tuesday's Star
Mickey Mantle, whose second
grand slam homer in four days
sparked the Yankees to a seven-
run ninth inning finish and a 10 to
7 victory over the White Sox.
Rocky's Wife Could
Feel Foe's Punches
NEW YORK, July 30 (tPI—Attrac-
tive brown-haired Barbara Marci-
ano took more punishment from
Harry iKidi Mathews than her
husband did.
"I was sitting in the 14th row,"
explained Rockys wife Wednesday,
"but 1 could feel every punch Mat-
thews threw.
"Every time Rocky fights," she
confessed, I get butterflies in my
stomach. 1 fight right along with
him although I don't throw my
arms around lik< a lot of fans do."
"I'm one of those people who
always sees the had side of every-
thing. I always worry that Rocky
will get hurt or something. So
far," she said, knocking on wood
hastily, "he hasn't."
Intensely proud of her 27-year-
old husband, Barbara is one of the
few wives in the land who doesn't
cringe when she says, "my hus-
band is a real good hitter."
There was pride in her friendly
voice when she spoke of the con-
versation she had with Jack
Kearns who used to manage Jack
Dempsey. after Monday night's
abbreviated bout at Yankee Sta-
dium.
"Jack Kearns," she said, "told
me that Rocky reminds him a
great deal of Jack Dempsey."
Yanks Reduce
Reds Margin
By LEO H. PETERSEN
HELSINKI, July 30 (IP) — The
United States hoped to gain ground
on front-running Russia in the
Olympic games Wednesday by
scoring heavily in two swimming
events and, possibly, one fencing
event.
Pretty Pat McCormick, house-
wife from Long Beach, Calif., was
leading the fieiu going into the fi-
nal phases of women's springboard
diving and was expected to carry
through to the title.
In addition, Mrs. Zoe Ann Jen-
sen of Oakland, Calif., wife of the
Washington Senators' star outfield-
er. Jackie Jensen, was expected to
pick up additional points in the
diving. But first, the organizing
comm.'.ttee for the event would
have to make a rulint on her score
on her fourth dive Tuesday.
Jensen Protests
Blonde Zoe Ann tried a difficult
two-and-a-half somersault with
tuck and blasted into the water in
a crouched position to score only
3.2 points. However, she protested
that, the springboard had failed to
function correctly. She was given
another dive, but apparently some
of the seven judges missed it. So
she got a third try and scored 12.20
points.
An official declared that "the
fulcrum of the springboard was
faulty," but the granting of two
extra dives was bitterly protested
by Sweden, France, Russia and Ja-
pan.
The United States entered Wed-
nesday's competition 74>/2 points
behind Russia in the overall un-
official team point score with 440
points to the Soviets' 514'/2. The
Yanks had reduced that margin
from 89 points of the previous day
by winning the men's 800-meter
swim relay and taking third place
in the small bore rifle prone com-
petition
