A "grocery night" attracted some 10,370 persons to see the In dian! take on the Sail Lake City Eees. Tri-City Tops Beavers 5-4 KENNEWICK. Wash. tl'PIt -The Tri-City Braves of the North west League gave the Pacific Coast League Portland Beavers a 5-4 pasting in an exhibition baseball game hero Monday night that went to 10 innings. The Beavers open a PCL series with Spokane in Sookane tonight. Trl-City's Mac Schmidt hit a triple in the loth inning off re liefer Bob DiPietro to drive in Cal Bauer with the winning run. DiPietro replaced Larry Jansen at the start of the loth. Tom Richardson, Tri-City left hander who made bis first start of the year, went the distance and pitched a seven-hitter. He struck out six and walked nine. DiPietro hit a homer for Port land in the first Inning. Herb An derson and Ron Foisy both hit homers for Tri-City. The throng was treated to some early thrills in the second when Salt Lake's ft. C, Stevens ripied a home run over the left field fence and in the third when Buddy Pritchard hit one in the same spot. But Indian fans had little to cnecr about until the seventh. Trailing 3-0, the Indians sudden ly broke loose for seven runs to ice the game in authoritative fash ion. Chuck Essegian smashed a three run homer for the major hit of the rally. The final score was Spokane 7. Salt Lake 4. Bob Giallombardo, who relieved Spokane starter Chris Nicolosi in the seventh, was credited with the win.. Vancouver defeated San Diego 4-3 in the only other contest last night. A routine .fly ball which was lost in the lights won the contest for the Mounties. The Mounties were trailing 3-2 going into the eighth. With two out, Ron Hansen hit a fly to left center. It looked to be an easy out but center fielder Rod Graber lost sight of the ball and it fell for a double. Barry Shetrone then singled Hansen home and later scored when Len Tucker doubled. R. . W. (Rivcrboatt Smith was charged with his third loss of the campaign against as many wins. Chuck Estrada was credited with the win. He's now 4-2. New Champ To Rest In Miami NEW YORK 'l'PI ITenvy ucigM champion Ingcmar Jo hansson flies to .Miami, Fla., to lay for a brief rest, and Floyd Patterson's trainer promises that the ex-champion will recapture the title in September after cor recting a defensive flaw. Meanwhile, Irving B. Kahn, president of the Telepromptcr Corp., estimated that gross re ceipts from all chainels of last Friday's sensational Yankee Sta dium fight would exceed $2,000. 000. That includes money collect ed by distributers of the excellent fight movie. Promoter Bill Rosensohn, who receives only SO per cent of Fri day's $407,138 net gate, smilingly accepted his loss of an estimated S40.000, ' because I II turn that into a big profit when Johansson and Patterson meet in their Sep tember return bout." Johansson whose purse from the gate, theater-television, radio and movies may approximate $250,000 will spend three or four days in Florida with his fam ily before coming back to New York and returning next week to Sweden. Dan Florio. who trained Patter son during most of his profession al career, said, "Floyd was nailed Friday night by a right, to the face for the first knockdown, be cause he came straight up from a bob instead of coming up side ways in a weave. That left his head a straight-away target.'' Floyd was floored seven times for a third-round technical knockout.

Capeda's Jaw Sore After Being Kit With Foul Ball LOS ANGIXKS i L'Pl '-Orlando Cep?da, San Francisco first base man, had a sore jaw today hut apparently nothing more serious after being knocked down last night by a foul ball in the I.os Angeles Dodgers-San Francisco Giants game.

Lane Denies Paper's Semi Pro Charge ti.i:vi:i.AD, oino a imi "leveland Indians General Mana-' .er Frank Lane today denied a slory in. a Boston newspaier that ho dcscrilicd manager Joe Gordon as "a semi pro manager." Gordon laughed off the story aid appeared willing to forget the incident. " "It's a complete lie, said Lane a( the story by Hill Listen of the Pestoa Traveler. The story quoted l ane as making the statement last Sir-lav. 1 used the word semi pro, all !it. but only in reference to a y ir Saturday's game. And it was meant for Granny llamner, a ho choked up as if to bunt with runners on first and second and then tried to hit the ball past third baseman i Frank Malzone. Malronc almost turned the ground er into a triple play. '1 saui, in my opinion the per centage v,as to hit to right field. Then if the bail doesn't go through least the runners advaice. "You can't question results and we're getting them -from Joe or we wouldn't be in first place," Lane added. 1 asked Joe about it afterward and he said, 'we tried soniethiiiii and didn't get away with it.' I told him I was satisfied if he was." In Boston, Traveler Sports Edi tor Arthur Siegel defended report er Listen, saying "it's a silly thing to lake a stand on integrity but this time Lane has challenged the word of an honest reporter." Siegel said in his statement that "Rill Liston is an experienced and accurate sports reporter who adheres to the truth. He never has been given to misinterpretation or the falsifying of a story. "I'nlike Frank Lane, he docs not no off in all directions for the sake of sensation and entertain ment. If other people besides those who read the Traveler daily cotiM have read Liston's story in Monday s Traveler they d know that no reporter could make up as many comments as Lane was quoted to have made in Cleve land."
