...Cardinals had just brought up from their Houston farm. Dodger fans had seen enough of one left-handed Cardinal rookie, Ernie White, who had moidered their Bums in the first game of last week's series-to chalk up his 16th victory for St. Louis. The Pollet kid looked even better. In his major-league debut fortnight ago, he pitched a four-hit victory over the Boston Braves. Against the Dodgers last week he matched mighty Whit Wyatt pitch for pitch until the very last inning. Three days later, his astounding repertory of curves, fast balls, sinkers and whatnots...
...best amateur golfers in the U.S. include a New Jersey printer named Billy Dear, Patty Berg's kid brother Herman, onetime world's No. 1 Tennist Ellsworth Vines and hard-boiled Jim Oleska, a Brooklyn cop with a cross-handed grip. Billy Dear was out of play last week because Mrs. Dear is expecting a little Dear this week. The rest of these low-scorers and 146 others who survived sectional qualifying tests met in Omaha for the 45th, most upsetting and least sportsmanlike U.S. Amateur golf championship...
...hole final. Martin's 72-hole total of 292, two strokes better than that of Atlantans Calvin Searles and Zeke Hartsfield, won the tournament and the $500 first prize. Lowest amateur score was 300, turned in by a 19-year-old Norfolk kid named Leroy Smith...
Last week Brother Kiyoshi chalked up another double: the 800-meter and 1,500-meter championships (all events have been changed to metric distances this year). But this year he had more than his kid brother to contend with. In the 400-meter free-style his title was copped by up-&-coming, 17-year-old Bill Smith Jr., a kinky-red-haired fellow Hawaiian (part English), who a few months ago broke the world's records for 200, 300 and 400 meters. Teammate Smith, nicknamed Malolo (flying fish) by his native playmates because he has no Hawaiian name, also...
...final Riggs met the man who beat McNeill-Ted Schroeder, National Doubles champion (with Jack Kramer) from Glendale, Calif. Schroeder, who a few years ago was good for a kid, is now much better than that. He plays a hard-driving game that will take him further than he has come. In his match with Riggs he was a slugger against a boxer. Schroeder seemed to be still tired from his match the day before with Wayne Sabin, the man who beat Parker...
