Paul Richards Gets Vote of Confidence for Oriole Job By UNITED PRESS Paul Richards received a vote of confidence for a "job well done" today but to the Balti more Orioles' field and general manager "it's only half done.' "It'i great to receive a new contract." said the 47-year-old Texan. "But I won't be satis fied until I give Baltimore fans a winner." The Orioles finished sixth 28 games behind the American League champion New York Yankees last season but were rated the most improved team in the circuit by no less an authority than Casey Stengel. It was a tribute to Richards whose three-year blueprint for the Orioles' success seemed hopelessly bogged down in 1955. Richards' new contract ex tends through 1959 and is esti mated to call for more than ' $50.00(1 a year. Much Trade Activity The post-World Series flurry of baseball activity also con tinued on other fronts today with the Yankees. New York Giants. Chicago Cubs and White Sox and Kansas City Athletics involved in deals of various a Sizrs. The Yankees sold 30-year-old. right handed hitting outfielder Bob Cerv to the Athletics in a deal the Kansas City club said completed the Enos Slaugh ter transaction. The Athletics also announced the purchase of pitcher Bennett Flowers from the Philadelphia Phillies. The Yankees followed up the gale of Cerv by dropping two veterans and purchasing seven players from minor league af filiates. Thev sold veteran pitch er Sonny Dixon and outfielder George Wilson to Denver in the American Association; then they bought pitchers Mark Freeman, Jack Urban and Jim Dcpalo. in fielder Woody Held and catcher Darrcll Johnson from that club, brought up third baseman Dick Sanders from Binghamton and pitcher Al Cicotte from Rich mond. The Giants sold Bob Hofman. 31 year old utility inficlder and a catcher to Minneapolis in the American association and pur chased four pitchers from their farm teams.

Montana Grants Pass Roy Heffernan, the Australian heavyweight champion who made a big hit last week, will return to meet Bull Montana in a challenge match at the fairgrounds arena here Wednesday night. In a near riot last week Heffernan jump ed into the ring to protect young Reg Parks when it be came apparent that Montana would attempt to put a second piledriver on him. Montana had already won the match and was trying to get in one last lick before leaving the ring. Heffernan knocked Bull down and peeled off his coat and shirt and wanted to have it out right then and there. Montana de clined but Promoter Owen got busy and signed the match for this week with a $100 side bet riding on the outcome. Outclassed Marion Heffernan showed the fans a lot of new stuff as he oat- classed Marty Marion in two straight falls. He is a big experi enced matador who will have Bull outclassed in everything except downright meanness. Montana was pressed by Parks but ended up with his piledriver to take the match. Bill Fletcher will definitely be on hand this week to meet Regi Siki in the one hour semi final on this big card. Fletcher was held up in Seattle and did not get into Portland until Thursday of last week. Fletcher may need all of his ring prow ess to beat the little colored star, Siki. Both men are very fast and a pleasing contest should be in store for the fans.

"You hear all this talk about the 'good old days'," Harridge said, "but the way I see it cur rent stars like Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams are taking right up where the Ruths, Gehr igs and DiMaggios left off. Base ball's future is brighter than ever." Harridge, a native Chicagoan, was a young railroad clerk han dling the transportation of um pires when, 45 years ago, he was offered the post of secretary to American League President Ban Johnson. "I'd never even seen a base ball game," Harridge recalled, "but I'd just gotten married and the salary of $50 a week was more than double what the rail road was paying me." Twenty years later the club owners elected Harridge to the league presidency without even considering another candidate. Boxer Hailed As Another Sugar Ray New York (U.R) -Many boxing men hailed Garnet (Su gar) Hart as "another Suger Ray Robinson" today because of the young Philadelphia welter weight's impressive television debut Monday night at St. Nich olas arena, where he registered his ninth straight victory. It was also 20-year old Hart's fourth straight knockout as he stopped aggressive Earl Dennis of New York at the end of the third round before 1,773. The slender former National AAU lightweight and welter weight champion displayed such speed, power and versatility in his 18th professional fight that promoter Teddy Brenner de clared, "he's ready to fight any welterweight in the world, in cluding the champion, right now." Mike Fetchick Wins Western Toga in Playoff San Francisco (U.R) Mike Fetchick, something of a lamb this year of golfdom's tourna ment trail, turned into a lion in winning the Western Open playoffs Monday in one of the great performances of the year. Mighty Mike vanquished three foes Monday in an 18 hole play off. He fired a six under par 66 on the tough Presidio course, enough to beat his nearest com petitor, Jay Hebert, by five strokes and collect S5.000. Doug Ford, the former PGA champion, finished third with a 72 and Don January of Texas was fourth with a 75. The four men had ended in a deadlock at the finish of the regulation 72 holes and then went into the playoff. Wrestling Agency To Relax Hold On Grunts, Groans Washington (U.R) The Justice Department announced Monday that the National Wrestling alliance, a large book ing agency for professional wrestlers, has agreed to relax an alleged stranglehold on the grunt and groan trade. The department said it filed a civil anti-trust action against the alliance in federal court in Des Moines, Iowa, charging the NWA with maintaining a mon opoly on "professional wrest ling exhibitions." At the same time the government and the NWA accepted a consent judg ment that closed the case. Under the settlement, the NWA was barred from setting up exclusive territories for one booker or promoter or prevent ing outsiders from doing busin ess in a territory, limiting pro motion or booking to members of NWA, discriminating in fa vor of promoter-members, or re quiring a promoter to make ex clusive use of NWA services.

Enjoy A Safe, Trouble Free Winter Save 25 On These Important Maintenance Items Call For Appointment This Offer Is Good Until November 1st DARRELL MILLER Co. 415 South Riverside Patterson Manager Gets Assurances New York (U.R) Manag er Gus D'Amato unexpectedly admitted today he had received "assurances" of clean officiating at Chicago before he permitted young Floyd Patterson to accept the Nov. 30th fight with Archie Moore at Chicago stadium for the vacant heavyweight crown. D'Amato's admission was un expected because Jim Norris, announcing the match in New York Monday night, said, "I have not heard anything about any assurances." D'Amato explained today, "I have been given assurances about officiating at Chicago, but I am not at liberty to discuss it." The stocky, gray haired pilot of Brooklyn's sensational 21 year old contender, had refused for several weeks to let Patter son fight 39-year-old Moore in Chicago, "because of my suspic ions of Chicago officiating." He stressed, "I became sus picious of the Chicago situation when Johnny Saxton took the welterweight title from Carmen Basilio there on a much critic ized decision last March." Although terms for the 15 rounder have not been announ ced, D'Amato indicated Floyd and Archie would each receive 30 per cent of the net gate, TV radio money and ultimate movie proceeds. Charley Johnston, Ar chie Moore's manager, had been asking 35 per cent. Norris Monday night predict ed a $400,000 gate for the bout, which will be televised and broadcast nationally to homes. There will be a TV blackout in the Milwaukee, Chicago and the South Bend, Ind., areas. Shooting Slate Announced for.
