Richards Asks 'Hold Fire' Baltimore, Md. (U.R) Balti more boss Paul Richards, under fire for sending catcher Hal Smith to the Athletics on waiv ers, asked his critics to hold back their ammunition today because he has another deal with Kansas City coming up. "Some people automatically assumed we got stung in the big deal we made with the Yan kees two years ago just because we let Smith go last week," Richards said. "That assumption is all wrong because Smith's going to Kansas City is merely the forerunner of a deal we're going to make with the Athletics this winter." Two days after Smith went to Kansas City on waivers last Monday the Orioles acquired catcher Mike Ginsberg via the same route from the Athletics. The 25-year-old Smith originally came to Baltimore in a 10-player trade with the Yankees, Nov. 18, 1954. and many considered him the "key man" from the Orioles' point of view. Gonzales Victor Over Spallotta New York (U.R) Middle weight Tony Gonzales used speed and body punches to win a unanimous decision over Fer nando Spallota at St. Nicholas arena in New York. The steady body attack began to show its effect in the third, and had Spallotta slowing in the fourth, although the Italian rallied in the seventh. Gonzales staggered Spallotta in the eighth and nearly floored him, but Spallotta rallied to last out the bout. SURKONT TO GIANTS The New York Giants have reached into the Pacific Coast League for some much needed pitching help. The cellar dwelling Giants bought veteran right-hander Max Surkont from San Fran cisco for cash and two players to be delivered next spring. Sur kont was on the St. Louis Cardi nal roster shortly after World War II and later saw service with the Chicago White Sox. Milwaukee Braves and Pitts burgh, . Tuesday, August 21. 1956 Joe Brown Lightweight Bout Choice New York (U.R) Joe Brown of New Orleans, 31, is favored at 9-5 to wrest the world lightweight title from Wallace (Bud) Smith at the New Orleans coliseum Friday night in the week's top fight. It will be one of the three TV bouts slated this week despite the Republican convention at San Francisco. Last week the Democratic convention at Chi cago curtailed TV fisticuffs to Monday night. The Smith-Brown TV-radio scrap goes over the NBC networks. Challenger Brown is favored because he won a non-title de cision over Smith of Cincinnati on May 2 and because Smith ap parently is on the skids. The champ lost three straight non title fights this year on a de cision to Larry Boardman, on a knockout to ex-welter champ Tony DeMarco, and on decision to Brown. Bud hasn't fought since the Brown defeat. Six Straight Veteran Brown has six straight victories, including three this year over Arthur Persley (KO 9), Smith and Eddie Brant (KO 3). His 60-14-8 record plus two no-contests includes 26 knock outs. He is rated eighth among world contenders. Friday's fight is slated for 15 rounds. At the San Francisco Gardens Wednesday night, featherweir contenders Flash Elorde of the Philippines, No. 4, and Miguel Berrios of Puerto Rico, No. 10, meet in a 10-rounder that should be action-packed. Elorde is favored at 8-5 because of his skill and somewhat harder punch. Their bout will be televised and broadcast over ABC net works. Welterweigh champion John ny Saxton is slated for another tune-up bout with veteran Dom Williams at Worcester, Mass., Thursday night, in preparation for next month's title defense against ex-champ Carmen Ba silio.

Solons Press 4-3 Overtime By NEAL CORBETT , United Press Sports Writer The Sacramento Solons came up with a pair of "big guns" Monday night in their battle to overtake Portland for fourth place in the Pacific Coast League but they were a little slow getting into operation. Al Heist finally got the range and blasted out a homer with two out in the bottom of the ninth to tie the score and send the game into extra innings. Danny Baich led off the tenth inning with one just like it to give the Solons a 4-3 victory over the Portland club. The win moved the Solons to within a game and a half of the Beavers and the upper division. Hollywood Gains In the other games, the league leading Los Angeles Angels played their usual brand of ball and swamped San Diego 12-1, while Hollywood gained ground on second place Seattle by downing the Rainiers, 6-2. San Francisco and Vancouver were idle. At Sacramento, Baich was credited with three of the So lons' four runs. Portland took the lead with two runs in the first frame and another in the second on Sam Calderone's eighth homer of the year. But Baich got two of them back in the fifth frame when he tripled with two men on. That set the stage for the tying and winning homers. Los Angeles staged its usual "march of the monsters."
