EIGHT-MKDTOKD (011X0010 Sport Parade New York (U.R) Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Roland Lastarza is bitter and anxious for revenge against heavyweight champion Rocky Ma rciano in their title fight Sept. 4, but he isn't letting his feelings give him any fool ish ideas. Rollie's ani mosity stems from a close d e c I sioa he lost to Mar ciano three and a' half Oscar Fralay years ago, and the latter's fail ure to live up to a return doui engagement. "They don't have to tell me to et mad for this one." Lastarza says, "but I'm not saying that I'll be a tiger. That's not my na ture. But I will fight with one purpose, to win. I'll do it box ing and punching and if I get a chance to knock him out, I'll take it." . . . But it is clear he'll settle for a decision. Present For Yankees One of the hottest guessing games in baseball these days is "what s wrong with the Amen- can League." And everybody has a different answer. There seems to be rather general agree ment among baseball men, how ever, that the Yankees aren't winning the pennant, but that the rest of the teams are diow ing it. . . The theory is that the Yankees just aren't that great a ball club, . . Lew Worsham, who won the lucrative "world" golf cham pionship at Tarn O'Shanter by holing out his approach shot on the final green, wants everybody to know that he didn't "miss" the shot. That idea got around because his wedge shot rolled so far, and a wedge isn't supposed to act that way. Not All Luck "It isn't an ordinary sand wedge," Lew explains, "but a special MacGregor club which Bradford Hurls Seals To 3-0 Win Over Solons San Francisco (U.R) Bill Bradford hurled the San Fran cisco Seals to a 3-0 victory over Sacramento Saturday before a Pacific Coast League crowd of 1366. Bradford and losing pitcher Marino Pieretti both turned in five hitters but the Sacs couldn't get any runs for little Chico off the Seal right hander, who cruised to his third straight tri umph. San Francisco grabbed a two run lead in the second inning. Frank Kalin went to first when he was hit by a pitched ball, then trundled around to third as Reno Cheso singled on the hit and run play. After George Vico popped up, Leo Righetti singled to score Kalin with the first run. Cheso came in when Nini Tor nay's bounder squirted through third baseman Eddie Bookman's legs for an error. Pieretti then turned in five hitless innings until the eighth. At that point, Righetti singled to left, advanced on Bradford's sac rifice and scored on Jim Mor gan's single. Vico was kicked out of the game in the second by Umpire Ed Runge when the burly Seal first baseman hurled his bat about 40 feet into the air after PODDine out. The mar hniinr4 off the railing along the first Dase line out no one was in the way. 1 Bradford now has a mark of 8-7 while Pieretti's record is 10 12. GENE THOMAS YES MANager i.Jlff! . Fast service.
