(U.R) The business of carrying three teams one coming, one playing and one going never has paid off in baseball circles in the past. However, President a- (Brick) Laws, of the Oakland Acorns, with a "show me" atti tude, has gotta see for himself. Laws is going all out to win Joey, Sugar Bout Talked Chlcano. June 13.

The $25,000 offer was made by Teddy Brenner, former match maker for the International Boxing club, who said the fight would be staged in Brooklyn or Newark, N.J.. at a date agree able to both fighters. Brenner said Robinson, the world's welterweight champion, is willing to concede Maxim about 20 pounds and take a shot at the light-heavy crown for 20 per cent of the gate. However, Jack Kearns, Max im's manager, said that the $25.- 000 or 40 per cent of the gate doesn't interest us very much." He said Maxim is committed to fight Lee Savold in September for British Promoter Jack Solo mons but ha conoeded that Solo mons might release Maxim if the Robinson offer was mora than $29,000.

Right now his Acorns are one game out of second place and six out of first but you at least have to give the man credit for trying. He hasn't been sticking around the second division with the same old players waiting for something to happen. Since the season started, Laws has kept the wires hot and his acquisitions Include Dick Wake field, George Metkovich and Earl Rapp for the outfield; Roy Zimmerman for the infield; Raf ael Noble behind the plate; and pitchers Ernie Groth, George Bamberger and Hank Behrman.

Port land invades San Francisco and Los Angeles plays host to Seattle Segura Wins Over Kovacs Cleveland.June 13. (U.R) Little Pancho Segura, always a blithe cheerful chap as he fought his way up through the ranks, finally reached the pinnacle of the pro tennis world today and he was unhappy. I no like to win this way, mourned the usually gay Ecuar dorlan. Pancho was sad because when tha long-sought national profes sional tennis championship fin ally came to him in a glorious upset, his final round victory had to come through an unpreceden ted default by big Frank Kovacs of Oakland, Cal. It was a disappointing and un fair climax when Kovacs retired in the fourth set of their match yesterday with cramps In both knees. Pancho deserved much better for this tourney saw him upset favorite Jack Kramer in the semi-final round and rise from the status of "preliminary boy" to a pro star. iegura was leading, 6-4, 1-6, 8-6, 4-4, when the match ended.

June 13 (U.R) The Detroit Tigers, terrific on tour, open the defense of their slim American league lead tonight in a home ball park that seems to favor the other fellow. While the St. Louis Cards hit the road to defend their Na tional league margin at Philadel phia, the Tigers opened a two weeks' home stay against the Philadelphia Athletics in the first night game of the season here.
