Chisox Chief Al Lopez says Yankees can be beat
By United Press International
There's a fellow in Chicago who
says the Yankees can still be
overtaken.
His name is Al Lopez, his
White Sox have won 15 of their
last 20 games and his feeling is
"a lot of things can happen in
seven weeks."
Something happened Tuesday
night that made Lopez even more
optimistic. One of his rookie
pitchers, Dave DeBusschere,
hurled his first complete game
in the majors and his first shut
out in beating the Cleveland In
dians, 3-0.
The victory boosted the second
place White Sox 8'j games be
hind the rained-out Yankees and
although that still leaves a lot
of hay to be mown, Lopez re
fuses to concede..
"We still have a chance," he
insists. "The Yankees have a
good ball club but they're not
infallible. I remember a Dodger
club that had a 13-game lead and
lost."
DeBusschere heightened Lopez'
hopes with a steady six-hit effort
that earned him his third vic
tory again- four losses.
The White Sox collected only
five hits off loser Jim (Mudcat)
Grant and Early Wynn. Nellie
Fox had a double and two singles,
driving in one run and scoring
another.
In other American League ac
tion, Baltimore mauled Minne
sota, 6-1, Kansas City downed De
troit, 4-2, and Los Angeles nipped
Washington, 4-2. Rain washed out
the Yankees-Red Sox contest.
Over in the National League,
Milwaukee topped Los Angeles,
4-3, but the Dodgers retained
their four-game lead when Cincin
nati stopped second-place San
Francisco, 4-0. St. Louis defeated
Houston, 4-2, and the game be
tween the Pirates and Mets was
rained out
Southpaw Steve Barber won his
16th for the Orioles by striking
out 10 Twin batters and scatter
ing eight hits. The only run off
Barber was Harmon Killebrew's
27th homer in the eighth inning.
John Orsino clipped loser Stick
Stigman (12-U) for his 12th hom
er and Boog Powell belted his
20th off reliever Ray Moore in
the ninth.
Errors by pitcher Jim Bunning
and first baseman Norm Cash
helped the Athletics to three im
earned runs that beat the Tigers.
Bunning, who suffered his 12th
defeat in 20 decisions although he
gave up only five hits in seven
innings, dropped the ball during
a fifth-inning rundown and Cash's
throwing error in the eighth pro
vided the A's with their last two
runs. Reliever Ted Bowsfield was
credited with his fifth win aginst
six losses.
The Angels ended a seven-game
losing streak with their victory
over the Senators. Billy Moran,
who had three hits, scored the
winning run in the eighth after
he doubled, moved to third on a
wild pitch and came home on
Bob Sadowski's squeeze bunt Don
Lee (6-8) was the winner and
Don Rudolph (7-13) the loser.
Don Zimmer hit his seventh hom
er for Washingtoa

$10 million libel suit
utts to rest case
today after witness
By United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) Attorneys
for Wallace Butts planned to read
parts of two depositions and per
haps put one more witness on
the stand today before resing
their case in the $10 million libel
suit against the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
The suit is in its second week
before a jury of 12 businesmen
in the federal courtroom in the
old post office building here.
Butts, whose career as a coach
and athletic director at the Uni
versity of Georgia had spanned
nearly a quarter of a century,
sued the Post following the publi
cation of a story last March 23
that Butts and Alabama coach
Paul (Bear) Bryant conspired to
rig the outcome of the 1962 Alabama-Georgia
game which Ala
bama won by the lopsided score
of 35-0.
Butts, sometimes tearfully, has
denied that he gave away any
secrets.
Bryant Also Suet
Bryant also has denied the rig
ging claim and has a multi-million-dollar
suit pending against
the Post.
The Post said Atlanta insur
anceman George Burnett acci
dentally overhead a telephone
conversation between Butts, who
has since resigned as Georgia
athletic director, and Bryant pri
or to the same.
Burnett said he took notes of
the conversation, a facet of the
guit that has drawn considerable
testimony from a number of assis
. taut coaches and others "during
the trial.
A witness Tuesday, Atlanta res
taurant operator John Car-
michael, challenged the authe-
tdcity of the notes.
Carmichael was shown a copy
o! tha notes the Post had intro
duced as evidence.
He was asked if they were the
same notes Burnett made last
September, nine days prior to
the game.
"No sir, these are not the same
botes," Carmichael answered.
Former Employer
Tarmiehael. testifying as one
of the final witnesses for Butts,
is a former employer of Burnett,
He said the insurance man came
to him and told him of overhear-
Ine tha Butts-Bryant conversa
Hon.
Burnett was quoted as saying,
John, I've got myself in an aw
ful taro and I don't know what
to do about it" Carmichael said
fcm-nett told him that he had
told a friend about the conversa.
tion and it had reached Univers
ity of Georgia officials.
Carmichael testified that he
called Butts, in Philadelphia on
a business trip at the time, and
told him of the development. The
two of them had owned stock in
the same venture at one time.
He said Butts told him: "I'll
tell you this, I'm sure there's
nothing to it, because I'd never
do anything to hurt the Univers
ity of Georgia.
Carmichael said he had seen
the Burnett notes shortly after
they were made and they were
not the same as the ones intro
duced by Post attorney Welborn
Cody last week.
Case Nears Jury
William Schroder, chief counsel
for Butts, said after court re
cessed Tuesday that he had parts
of two depositions to read today
and might put on one live wit
ness, whom he didn't identify.
Cody said that, if Schroder
took no more than an hour, the
Post could complete presentation
of rebuttal witnesses.
In that case, the trial could
possibly go to the jury Thursday.
In Tuesday's proceedings, parts
of the depositions of free lance
writer Frank Graham Jr. were
read to the jury.
Graham, whose by-line ap
peared on the article, "The Story
of a College Football Fix," tes
tified that he did not talk to
Butts, Bryant or Carmichael prior
to the publication of the story
"because they would simply deny
it."
He was asked: "You knew and
the Curtis Publishing Co. knew
that when that article was pub
lished it would ruin Wally Butts'
career?"
"Yes, we did," Graham re
plied. Adopts New Policy
In another deposition. Clay
Blair, editor in chief of the Post,
testified that the magazine had
adopted a policy of "sophisticated
muckraking."
His deposition showed that rev
enue for Curtis Publishing Co.
had dropped $86 million in 1960
and $106 million in 1961.
He said following the adoption
of a new editorial policy the
magazine has travelled "25 per
cent along the way" toward the
type of magazine I envision.

Buffalo Bills
make unusual
pro grid trade
By United Press International
The Buffalo Bills completed an
unusual trade Tuesday in which
they acquired an offensive end
but lost a defensive counterpart
The first half of the trade was
accomplished in orthodox fashion
as the Bills obtained flanker Bill
Miller from the Kansas City
Chiefs but the deal was equalized
when Jim Moss, a rookie stand
out from South Carolina, was im
mobilized by a broken ankle in
a team scrimmage.
Miller, a former All-America at
Miami now in his second year
in the American Football League,
caught 23 passes for the chiefs
last season as a flanker back but
will be used as a split end in the
Bills' alignment Moss probably
will remain in drydock for the
entire season.
The Denver Broncos, swamped
with a surplus of 57 players, axed
seven, including former Wisconsin
All-America quarterback Ron Mil
ler. In addition to Miller, who
saw limited service with the Los
Angeles Rams last year, others
receiving pink slips were Bob
Merenda, Winston Freeman, Tom
Gates, Sam Smith, Charlie Tid
well and Ray Pinion, all rookies.
The Chiefs also did some house
cleaning, slicing their squad to
44 with the release of Sam Leo
nard, a rookie defensive end
from Wiley College (Tex.), while
the New York Jets moved in the
opposite direction when coach
Weeb Ewbank added two players
from the Baltimore Colts half
back Bob Clemens and tackle
Winston Hill.
The Detroit Lions sold rookie
Karl Kassulke to Minnesota, and
the Baltimore Colts reduced their
squad to 48 by asking waivers
on guard Bill Kirchiro and offen
sive end Dee Mackey.

Los Angeles Angels aiming
for fifth place in AL
LOS ANGELES (UPI) A one
game "winning streak" may not
be much to build on, but the Los
Angeles Angels already are look
ing ahead to a possible fifth place
finish in the American League.
For a team that lost seven
straight prior to Tuesday night's
4-3 victory over the Washington
Senators, it would seem to be a
dream rather than a goal to be
realized. After all, the Angels are
in eighth place only a few per
centage points ahead of Detroit.
But the Angels, who sent Dean
Chance against Claude Osteen in
tonight's Chavez Ravine contest,
onlv trail fifth-olace Baltimore by
four games in the jam which
clogs the middle of the American
League.
Manager Bill Rigney, smiling
spontaneously for the first time
in a week alter liiesoay nigiua
game, agreed the Angels have a
shot at fifth if they play above
.500 ball in the remaining 40
games.
But injuries to Jim Piersall. out
at least a week, the indefinite
status of Fred Newman and a
slump which has befallen Leon
Wagner cloud hopes Los Angeles
may hold for better things in
(hit disapoointine season.
At least in Tuesday night's
game, the Angel luck all bad for
tin past two weeks gw oeuer.
Lee Thomas, for instance, got a
single to left when be tried to
the ball
avoid a pitch and
glanced off his bat.
There was more talent than
luck, though, on the parts of
shortstop Don Fregosi, pitcher
Don Lee and second baseman Bill
Moran, not to mention a "tele
graph" bunter, by the name of
Bob Sadowski.
Fregosi contributed a clutch
single that gave the Angels a 3-1
lead in the seventh inning, and
then leaped high to spear Don
Lock's line drive in the eighth
with two senators on base.
Lee. called into starting
vice because Newman's cut hand
still wasn't completely healed,
didn't allow a walk in seven full
innings although the Senators got
some good shots the most effec
tive being Don Zimmer's solo
homer in the second into the left
field seats. It was the former
Dodger's eighth of the year,
was Lee's sixth win.
Moran collected three hits.
eluding an eighth inning double
that forced Pete Burnside from
the mound in the eighth. Ronnie
Kline then threw a wild pitch to
allow Moran to reach third.
Sadowski, a pinch batter, made
an obvious bunting gesture to in
dicate an upcoming squeeze. The
Angels, and Senators, all knew
what was coming but Sadowski
laid down the perfect bunt and
Moran easily scored.

College baseballers need
60-70 summer games
tn-
By Thomas H. Becherer
UPI Staff Writer
ST. LOUIS (UPI) Bob Stewart
believes in bringing college base
ball players into organized base
ball the right way.
Stewart, co-founder of the Na
tional Collegiate Baseball Foun
dation, says "a college player
needs to compete in 60 to 70
games a summer to show wheth
er he's ready for professional
play or not."
The 47-year-old tormer au-
America prospect at Syracuse
took on the "so-called" part-time
job of running the league in ad
dition to his duties as athletic di
rector of St. Louis University.
"I'd work 50 to 70 hours a
week at the league during the
opening stages, Stewart said.
Test For Players
Stewart teamed with Walter
Shannon, midwestem director of
scouts for the Cleveland Indians,
last winter to found the organi
zation aimed at providing a prov
ing ground for college ballplay
ers on a non-paying basis.
"The foundation wa3 seen as a
middle vehicle between college
ball and the minors," says Stew
art, "to provide summer baseball
for college players.
Organized baseball was signing
players at high salaries, because
of bonus competition, on the ba
sis of their college records. Stew
art explained the foundation was
conceived to set up a league tor
the "acid test" of college play
ers before the majors gambled
on signing him.
"The league provided a place
for a college player to learn
from a coach other than the one
he played under in school," said
Stewart. "Here, too, a kid learns
whether he has it or not
Stewart said the founders real
ized that once a boy was 17 to
18 years old there was no further
competition other than that of
fered by the colleges for him to
try.
Age Group Maligned
"I feel the 16 to 21 year old
age group is the most maligned
in our country today," said Stew
art. "We keep the kids off the
labor market. "There's no place
for them to be employed and ac
cept responsibilities or play
ball."
The foundation, and the Central
Illinois Baseball League in par
ticular, was originally aimed at
"fitness through fun."
"We looked on this as an ave
nue to take kids somewhere in
this area and run summer camp
programs in physical fitness,"
said Stewart. "At the same time.
the boys working as counselors
would be gaining valuable expe
rience toward play with organ
ized baseball.
The foundation received a gift
of $50,000 from the major leagues
to conduct a pilot league in Cen
tral Illinois for colleges fresh
men, sophomores and juniors.
The program is supported and
endorsed by tne executive coun
cil of the National Collegiate Atn
letic Association and the U.S.
Baseball Federation.

need $2,500 from them along with
playing facilities and living quar
ters for the players," said Stew
art. "The toughest part of the
job was to obtain summer jobs
for our players, since they would
be taking jobs from the commu
nity's own young people.
Players receive no pay from
the league in order to maintain
their amateur status.
Stewart pointed out "most of
our kids are from middle-class
and lower middle-class families.
They need the money from sum-
mer jobs tor scnooi ana, u
knows, that's a problem all over
the country."
"We now have a set of stand
ards for league organization in
the future," said Stewart. "We
should organize four leagues next
year covering the country."
"The amazing thing is that the
people we worked with in organ
izing this year s league aie
ready talking about next year,"
Stewart commented. "They've
been great to our kids, having
them to their homes for dinner,
getting them dates and accepting
them as part of the community."
"We achieved our end," said
Stewart. "Organized baseball has
had a good look at these kids
and the boys themselves know
whether or not they're ready for
