The Padres made It a double killing by winning the first game 8 to 2. In the opening game the steady hurling of Chuck Embree, who went all the way, helped account for their win, while in the sec ond game, credit for the win went to Al Olscn. The Padres opened their big Inning of the nightcap when Jack Tobin singled, went to second on a balk and came home on a single by Dain Clay.

Seattle scored once in the first inning when Al Lyons connected for a home run. The victory was the fifth in a row for the Padres, and was at least partially due to the fine re lief pitching of John Benton, who came In the sixth and saved the win for starter Al Olsen, Have that ex&6edfom e ale I , you ve A Built easily, quickly, at low cost with JOHNS-MANVILLE Gbzecarf WALL PLANK Ycm can turn waste space into a btAutiful guest room with Johns Man rifle Gbuecoat Insulating Board.

"I'm going to knock him out," Graziano said. "I'm going to try for that kayo right from the start, and I don't figure to go 15 rounds with him, "I feel like I'm in shape to go about 50,000 rounds. I feel very strong, very good. The best shape I've ever been in. And I'm going to beat him." Graziano said he would fol low his usual brawling style, "move in underneath and beat him in the body with a few punches at the head." "I'm a small middleweight, you know," he said. "And I've always been able to work inside and underneath. So that's what I'll do against this guy." Graziano foresaw his victory mainly because he believed he was a "puncher." "I've been in a lot of fights where I was behind and win them in the last couple of rounds," he said. "You can be way behind, but a couple of good punches will fix every thing up." It will be Graziano's fourth battle in which the middleweight crown is at stake. He lost two scraps to Tony Zale, the former titleholder, and won the title here from Zale in a third match Robinson won the title here a,lso,. beating Jake La Motta for the crown last February in the same ring in which Graziano won the throne in 1947 and in the same ring in which they will meet Wednesday. Robinson later lost the crown to Randy Turpin, then regained it. Robinson, who has lost only twice In 139 pro fights, once to La Motta and once to Turpin, was a 3 to 1 favorite for the brawl.
