So, three cheers for clairvoyant Warren Giles, who is right on the old bazoo with his pre-season pre- Title Bout Set Tonight NEW YORK (UPI) Entile Griffith predicted today he'll win the world welterweight crown a record-breaking third time tonight in hia return title fight wltn cham pion Luis Rodriguez at Madison Square Garden. "And it'll be by a knockout if Rodriguez makes a fight of it in stead of running and holding," the ex-champion declared. The lS-round bout will be na tionally televised, starting at 10 p.m., EDT. Betting men apparently share some of Griffith's confidence. They've made him a 13-10 favor ite to win. But they apparently doubt the ability of either Emile or the Cu ban champion from Miami Beach to score a knockout. It's 3-1 that the bout goes it's scheduled dis tance. Neither champion nor chal lenger has ever been stopped. Griffith, 25, of New York, is the 11th man to win the title twice in the welterweight divi sion's 138-year history. None took It three times. Emile is favored to turn the trick despite the fact that he lost the 147-pound crown to 28-year-old Rodriguez on a unanimous de cision at Los Angeles March 31. - The verdict was unanimous but controversial. Co-managers How ard Albert and Gil Clancy charged that Griffith was "robbed." , Although tonight's fight is the ! aecond title tilt for Griffith and I Rodriguez, it's actually their third ' and "rubber" match. Emile won 1 a 10-round non-title decision over ; the Cuban in I960, before Griffith bad become champion. , Both are good punchers. Grlf . fith scored 14 kayoes while win ning 35 of his it bouts. Luis reg istered 21 knockouts among his 60 Yictorlee in 51 fifths.

Bill Barker tossed the win for the BLM crew, while Bernie Mayer collected a double in the first In ning and Stan Butzer blasted a two-bagger in the fourth frame. BLM built up a 8-0 lead In the first three innings of play, explod ing for five runs lit the third slan ts. The big rally In the third re sulted from a combination of walks, stolen bases, passed balls and two base raps. The Vets Patients matched the winners in the hitting department, but a five-run rally in the final inning fell short. Tuckers collect ed a pair of doubles for the losers and Dangurd had two singles.

Clown's comie 3 L - I diction of "a real tight race" in the National League. Of course, good old Warren makes more or less the same prediction every year but that doesn't alter the fact that he looks like a prophet today with a virtual four-way tie for first place in his circuit. Actually, the Los Angeles Dodg ers are ahead by a whisker with a .566 percentage but identical .564 figures by the San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cuba add up to an un common crowd at the top. Carl Warwick's 10th inning sin gle which gave Houston a 2-1 vic tory over San Krancisco Friday night helped create the snarl when it knocked the Gianta off the top rung for the first time since May 6. Warwick, an ex-Cardinal who has boosted his batting average 45 points during the past three weeks to its present .320, came through with his game-winniqg blow off loser Gaylor Perry after Colt rookie Rusty Staub's ninth inning homer off Giant starter Bob Bolin had tied the score at 1-all.

Homer Beats Olive Duke Snider's three-run homer off reliever Diomedes Olivo in the ninth inning earned the Mets their come-from-bchind victory after Cardinal starter Ron Taylor had limited them to two hits through the first eight innings.

CB WCKWfl, LINt TOO TIMT" U ON A SWr-CASTina KS.SL. By United Press International There's a new game in the American League and it looks like anybody is eligible to play it. It's called, "Get those Yankees while the getting is good." The "getting is good" these days because Mickey Mantle is brooding with a broken bone in his left foot and the mighty world champions just don't look the same without him. It was the Detroit Tigers' turn to take a whack at the Mantle less Yankees Friday night and they made the most of it with an 8-4 victory that dealt New York its second straight loss and fifth in six games. Hank Aguirrc, an old Yankee "killer" with or without Mantle, spaced out nine hits and Al Ka line hit a three-run homer to lead the Tiger attack. And, as if to show their scorn for the crippled champs, Detroit fans celebrated a double by Hank his second big league hit by showering Yankee right fielder Roger Maris with debris. It was Aguirre's second win in three decisions with the Yankees this year and raised his lifetime record against them to 7-4. The Tigers have beaten the Yankees five times in six meetings this season despite the fact that they are 17-27 against the rest of the league. The Minnesota Twins defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-1, the Chicago White Sox beat the Kan sas City Athletics 7-1, and the Cleveland Indians whipped the Washington Senators 8-1 in other AL games. Boston at Baltimore was rained out. In the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Chi cago Cubs 4-1, the Houston Colts shaded the San Francisco Giants 2-1, the Milwaukee Braves topped the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-5, and the New York Mets nipped the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2. Rain washed. out the Cincinnati-Philadelphia game. Jim Kaat pitched a five-hitter for the Twins, who scored their 16th victory in 20 games. Lennie Green snapped a 1-1 tic with a two-run single in the seventh in ning as the Twins handed Dean Chance his fifth loss against five victories. Juan Piiarro pitched an eight hitter and hit a two-run homer to raise his record to 5-2. Dave Wickersham, tagged for 10 hits and five runs in 7 1-3 innings, suffered his fourth defeat com pared with four wins. The Indians scored eight runs In the eighth inning, including three on a bunt on which Jim Duck worth and Jim King committed three throwing errors, to present Dick Donovan with his third win.

WEST HARVARD - OR f03l Bill Harper pulled the surprise of the evening sending Cellers to the mound. Cellers, listed as an infielder. turned in a near perfect relief performance as he white washed the host team for the final four innings. Tossing four Innings of no-hit ball, Cellers fanned six batters and gave up one walk. Two other run ners reached base, but both as a result of Roseburg miscues. Cellers displayed a variety of curves throwing overhand, sidearm and submarining a few, plus fooling the Corvallis batters with his moving fast ball. While Cool and Cellers were in control on the mound, catcher Jim Beamer provided the power at the plate.. Beamer led the hit parade with a towering round tripper in the sixth inning and a double in the eighth for a 2-6 rec ord. Bcamer's homer cleared the left field vail some 350 feet from home plate. The rugged Lockwood Motors backstop accounted for three RBIs. At the plate Roseburg banged nine hits off the offerings of two Corvallis chuckers, and in addi tion capitalized on 10 errors and seven bases on balls to score 13 runs. The winners started off with two runs in the first inning, and were never headed. Tom Morrison led off the game with a walk and moved to second on a ground out. Morrison advanced on a passed ball and Bob Manning worked his way for a free pass. An un successful fielder's choice on Beamer's grounder allowed Mor rison to score the initial run, while Manning followed when he and Beamer executed a double steal.

Ray Shepherd was safe on an error and Mike Blomberg singled Boucock home. Shepherd scored on an error. Corvallis broke into the scoring column with two runs in the fourth after Cool had retired the first two batters. Vaughn started the rally with Lis hit and Bill Robert son followed with a base on balls. Sandy Green's soft grounder to Lance Casebeer at second base was muffed to fill the bags. Two successive walks forced the lead runners across before Cool struck out Dave Morris to end the inning. Roseburg more than got even for the two runs with three in the fifth on a double by Casebeer, a single by Ron Westbrooks, one Corvallis error and three walks. Beamer's four bagger accounted for the single run in the sixth, while four runs crossed the plate in the eighth on three hits and three Corvallis bobbles.
