V7DIDOV7S Compute Units Te Yeur Order By HAL WOOD UPI Staff Writer SAN FRANCISCO UPL President Horace Stoneham of the San Francisco Giants is going lo have money problems before he gets all his lads in the fold for the 10 National League base ball campaign. Willie Mays has asked for a pay raise above the ssu.ouo he received last year. He hit .313 in 1959. Sum Jones, the tireless pitcher, is entitled to a whopper of an increase; rookie Willie McCovey, who came up from, the minors in mid season to win "Rookie of The Yeur" honors, probably will have his salary doubled. Orlando Cepeda. leading hitter Zora Folley Risks Rating In TV Fight PHOKNIX. Ariz.

Hubie Landrith, who came to the club as a second string catcher and stayed lo become the No. 1 man, can anticipate an increase.
