Angels Hope For Return Of Conners San Francisco (U.Ri ' Kevin (Chuck) Connors, an interesting character with a list ot varied accomplishments, crossed h i s fingers Monday while awaiting the word which could put him back into the Los Angeles line up. He was to expose his Injured shoulder to a group of medical experts. Minus Connors, Lo Angeles split with Seattle Sunday, win ning tfie first game, 8-7 in 12 innings, on Les Peden's homer, and dropping the second, 7-6, when Seattle scored three times in the seventh. The Suds took the series, 5-2. Portland Beaten Oakland, with Allen Gettel and Hal Gregg, two stylish right handers pitching, two-timed Portland, 5-3 arid 2-0, for a 6-1 series victory. San Diego clipped the Seals in 16, 4-3, but lost to San Francisco in the second game, 7-4. The Pads won the week's work, 5-2. First baseman Connors appar ently is the fork to which the Angels' success is tuned. With the big, long-legged lefthander in the lineup, Los Angeles threatened to make a joke of the Pacific Coast league race. Three weks ago he slipped and in jured his left shoulder. Then Los Angeles went Into seml-tailspin. In a twin-night bill, poor Sac ramento fielding got Hollywood a 4-2 win in the short opener, but the Solons roared back with vengeance to defeat star ace Harrv Fisher, 6-0.

Promoter Hopes To Close Deal For 'Big Match' New York (U.R) Promoter Jim Norris hoped to close the "big match" between champions Joey Maxim and Sugar Ray Rob inson Monday, deadline for the drawn-out, off-again, on-a gain negotiations. "I'm still optimistic," said Norris as he awaited final word from Robinson regarding the proposed 15-rounder at Yankee stadium, June 23. Reluctant Middleweight champion Robin son has been reluctant to accept the fight although his 160-pound title would not be at stake. Light heavy-weight ruler Maxim of Cleveland would be risking his 175-pound crown. Slender Ray has demanded the lion's share of the loot 37V4 per cent of the net receipts to 22 Vi for Maxim. Moreover, Robinson has asked that Norris arrange clearance with the various boxing commis sions so that he will not have to give up his middleweight crown in case he wins the light-heavy diadem from Maxim. Robinson claims he is too small to cam paign as a 175-pounder.

(U.R) It looks like Manager Bucky Har ris of the Washington Senators has acquired the Major league's fastest young outfield in the two week-end deals with the Yankees and White Sox. Off their first-day perform ance with the Senators, Harris is tickled with Jackie Jensen and Archie Wilson obtained from the Yankees and Jim Busby from the White Sox. Speedy Array Harris has a right to challenge anyone to produce a speedier outfield array than those three added to veteran Gil Coan, who long has been regarded one of the American league's fastest fliers. Wilson, who was the most val uable player in the International league last season, collected five hits, including a double- and a triple, and Jensen four as the Senators trimmed the St. Louis Browns Sunday in a double header, 2-1 and 15-7, to climb into third place in the American league race. Busby, the league's runnerup to Orestes Minoso of the White Sox is base stealing last year with 26, played only the second game and made two hits, driving in a pair of runs. Jensen and Wilson came to the Senators Saturday' along with pitcher Fran (Spec) Shea end minor league infielder Jerry Snyder in a deal that sent out fielder Irv Noren and infielder Tommy Upton to the Yankees. Upton immediately was sent to the Yankees' Kansas City farm club. Busby and Mel Holdcrlein came to the Senators a few hours later from the White Sox in exchange for outfielder Sam Mele.

U.R) New foundland government spokes men say they are being swamped by requests from would-be Euro pean immigrants who want to settle on the booming island. The requests, coming from Britain, France, Germany, Hol land and Belgium, all carry the same plea. The sender wants help from Premier Joseph Smallwood's government to cut the immigra tion red tape. All have digested the publicity in Europe for New foundland's multi-million dollar economic development program. To those from war-ravaged coun tries, Canada's 10th province represented the land of milk and honey. Most of the requests, the gov ernment said, had to be ignored. Even the ever-increasing num ber of immigrants who reached Canada every month weren't be ing encouraged to settle in New foundland unless they could work as Instructors, helping na tive residents acquire technical skills. The government pointed out that, despite the fact that new industries sprang up all over the island in 1951 and were scheduled to do so again this year, jobs were at a premium. coal Is In the mine. The coal came out of mines in Southern Illinois and was given to the mu seum by a mine owner. The equipment in the mine was donated by manufacturers of mining equipment.

Campaign Is Vigorous Now, a vigorous campaign against the scavengers of crops and fertile lands is under way in the remote provinces of Bas rah and Muntafi. Crews have been alerted elsewhere, for the plague is expected to spread through Amarah, Kut, Kerbala and Hlllah. "Daytime operations are an endless chase" an expert said. "A swarm is located, its position given to us and we proceed im mediately to deal with it but when we get to the site we find it has already moved off." So far, 28 killer-units have been sent to southern Iraq and the agriculture director-general, Sayid Darwosh al-Haidari, has ordered another 20 units to be held in reserve. In each unit are 10 men and a jeep, accompanied by trucks laden with potent insecticides death to locusts.
