BIRKDALE, Eng., July 6 <ILB>—
Six Americans, led by the ever
Indians^ Giants
Lead On July 4,
Crieterion Point
By NORMAN MILLER
United Press Sports Writer
The Cleveland Indians and New
York Giants safely passed the In-
dependence Day milestone with
3'a-game leads, but who could
breathe easily with those peren-
nial pennant winners, the new
York Yankees and Brooklyn Doil
gers, in such hot pursuit?
No one realized more than Man-
agers At I.opez and Leo Duroeher
how precarious was the road ahead
of their league-leaders and just
how unreliable is the m>th that
the clubs which lead the leagues on
Joly 4 eventually go on to meet
in the World Series.
The Indians and Giants, who
carry the hopes of those who would
j like to see new faces in next Octo-
| ber's series classic, gained their
j present leads as a result of ter-
j rifie June winning streaks. And
| they knew well how these leads
j could be wiped out in a matter of
■ days if they faltered in their pace
while the talent-laden Yankees
amazing Gene Sarazen, had good
chances of reaching the champion-
ship flight but two other Yanks
were skating on thin ice as play
opened in the second qualifying
round of the British Open golf
tournament.
After Tuesday's round the field
of 319 will be cut to the low 100
and ties for the championship play
starting Wednesday.
Sarazen. the 52-year-old countiy
squire of Germantown, N. Y., as-
tounded observers. Monday when
he shot an amazing 67 in the first
qualifying round—second only ti-
the course record 65 posted by
John McGonigle of Ireland. The
veteran international player could
afford' to split quite a bit Tuesday
and still earn a championship
berth.
uiid Dodgers maintained ttiete re-
lentless chase.
Indian Lead Shrinks
On the jam-packed Independ
snee Day program, the Indians
lost one game of their lead over
the Yankees by splitting a double
header against the Detroit Tigers,
while the world champions swept
a twin bill against the Phalidelphia
A's, 7 to 4 and 11 to 2. The In-
dians won the opener, 13 to 6,
with the help of Billy Gynn's three
homers but lost the nightcap, 1 to
0, on Harvey Kuenn's 11th inning
homer.
In the National League, the Gi
ants had to win both games from
the Philadelphia Phillies, 10 to 0
and 4 to 3, in order to preserve
their lead over the Dodges, who
likewise swept the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, 8 to 6 and 7 to 2. All four
twin bills in the National were
clean sweeps, the Milwaukee
Braves beating the St. Louis Car-
dinals, 8 to 6 and 10 to 4, and
the Cincinnati Reds edging the
Chicago Cubs, 6 to 5 in 10 innings
and 8 to 7.
The Chicago White Sox moved
to within six games of the Ameri-
can League lead by twice bounc
ing the Baltimore Orioles, 3 to 0
and 2 to 1, while the Washington
Senators split with the Boston Red
Sox, winning the nightcap, 7 to 1,
after taking a 14 to 0 drubbing in
the opener.
Glynn drove in eight runs in the
Indians' opener with his three con-
secutive home runs and a sacri
fice fly to earn reliever Art Hout-
teman his ninth victory. Kuenn's
11th inning homer in the nightcap
snapped Cleveland's eight-game
winning streak, and earned George
Zuverink the decision over Don
Mossi.
Irv Noren drove in five runs
with two honlers, a single and a
sacrifice fly in the Yankees' sweep.
Joe Collins and Mickey Mantle
homered in the opening game tri
umph, reliever Johnny Sain sav-
ing the victory for Harry By id.

pitching jobs from comeback-
bound Billy Pierce and bullpen art

Saddler Bad In
Defeating Manzo
NEW YORK. July 6 a\R>— Man-
uger Charley Johnston said Tues-
day featherweight champion Sandy
Saddler looked so ring-rusty a-
gainst Libby Manzo he'll need "at
least a half-dozen more tune-up
bouts" before he defends his title.
In his second fight since com-
ing out of the Army. Saddler
knocked out lightweight Libby
Manzo at 2:35 of the 10th round at
St. Nicholas Arena Monday nighc.
The non-title bout was widely tele-
vised.
Sandy, a skinny New York Ne-
gro. lacked the speed, precision
and power that made him a great
champion before his two-year hitch
in the Army. He received his dis-
charge in April.
