BRADFORDS' WINNER Portland I'M Mickey Lillich tossed a no-hit. no-run game for Bradforris' Monday night as he paced his team to a 4-0 Ameri can Legion Junior baseball win . over Carson Oil here. Nearly three and one half hours after the first ball was pitched, the Stars left the field with a 7-3 victory under their belts. All the runs came after the regulation nine innings had been completed. Hollywood's Ben Daniels and Bob Thorpe dueled through nine innings, but the Stars got to Thorpe in the 10th for two runs one on Daniels' triple. Port land got back the two runs in the bottom of the frame and the duel continued. The Stars took no chances in the 13th. They pushed across five runs, including three on a double by Carlos Bernier. The Beavers got one back in the bot tom of the 13th but still lacked four. The victory gave Daniels a 9-2 mark, while Thorpe was tagged for his fourth loss against four wins. Both pitchers were re lieved in the 13th. The victory moved the Stars to within three and one half games of the league-leading San Francisco Seals.

He is currently out of action with a knotted forearm muscle. Maxim, Olson Mix Tonight Portland, Ore. W Joey Maxim and Carl Bobo Olson, a pair of ex-champlons, attempt to hit the comeback trail tonight when they clash in a 10-round battle as heavyweights. Olson, former world's middle weight champion, will weigh in around the 180-pound mark; Maxim, ex-light-heavyweight ti tle holder, will tip the scales at 185. For Olson, this will be the first battle since he "retired" on Oct. 3. 1956. on the eve of a scheduled fight here. He had lost the middleweight title to Sugar Ray Robinson shortly before. But now his manager, Sid Flaherty, believes that Bobo has recovered from the effects of knockouts at the hands of Rob inson and world light-heavy weight champion Archie Moore and may campaign as a light- heavy or a heavweight. Maxim has just takeri a pair of lacings from Eddie Machen, the No. 2 challenger for the heavvweight crown and he, too, hopes to get back on the win track. He was licked by Ol son in a 10-rounder in 1955. The winner has been promised sn outdoor fight with Pat Mc Murtry, Tacoma, Wash., heavy weight sensation, some time this summer.

TO Wel terweight contender Vince Mar tinez, who beat ex-champion Kid Gavilan again Monday night, expects to fight Peter Waterman. British champion, at Newark, N.J., In July. Sixth-ranking Martinez of Pat terson, N.J., said today, "I want a shot at Carmen Basilio's world title, but if I can't have it I'll fight the British champ." Manager Bill Daly said he would wait until Basilio had de finitely signed to challenge Su gar Ray Robinson for the mid dleweight title or had agreed to defend the welter crown against Gaspar Ortega of Mexico, be fore accepting the Waterman fight. Twenty-eight-year-old Martin ez weighted 15034 pounds to Ga viland's 147'2 Monday night in their outdoor 10-rounder before an estimated 7,200 fans at Roose velt Stadium.

The United Press agree. 6-3-1. and a ringside poll of writers favored Martinez 5-4-1. Mew York Representative Sees No Chance of Full Immunity for Pro Sports By TOM NELSON United Press Sports Writer Washington ilP Rep. Ken neth B'.

Keating is the senior Republi can on a seven-man House sub committee which began, an in vestigation of pro sports Mon day.

Committee Works On New Stadium Columbus, Ohio OP) A 31 member committe today consid ered the next step toward get ting a new stadium for the Cin cinnati Redlegs, made possible under a bill signed Monday by Gov. C. William O'Neill. The bill opening the door to the stadium authorizes county commissioners to build, pur chase or lease a new ball park. It is effective in 90 days. A new stadium was seen as the answer to chronic com plaints about poor seating and parking facilities at Crosley Field, and as a major item in keeping the team in Cincinnati. The emergency bill was rush ed through the Legislature after rports that the Redlegs might be shiftd to New York City. vision broadcasting arrange ments from government anti trust supervision. Another Bill "Too Far" At the same time, Keating said, a bill offered by subcom- j mittee chairman Emanuel Celler (D-N. Y.) goes "too far" in the opposite direction. Celler would put baseball in the same boat as the other sports and subject it to anti-trust regulation. The Supreme Court twice has held that anti-trust laws don't apply to organized baseball. But it ruled last Feb. 25 that they do cover professional football. Keating sponsors a bill that falls between Harris' and Cel ler's. He would give professional sports partial exemption but keep their business aspects like broadcasting and concessions under regulation. The subcommittee got off to a slow start on its inquiry Mon day. Of the four witnesses called to testify, only Harris got to the stand. Organized baseball will mount its offensive Wednesday, when the hearings will resume after a one-day breather. Baseball Com missioner 'Ford C. Frick and Minor League President George M. Trautman will be the star witnesses. The subcommittee had planned to hear Monday from Victor R. Hansen, assistant attorney gen eral in charge of anti-trust cases. But when time ran out it took a written statement from Hansen instead. Calls Congress Responsible Hansen said the Justice De partment feels it's up to Con gress to decide whether baseball should be brought under anti trust statutes along with other sports. But he cautioned against "lightly" deciding to move in the other direction and extend baseball's exemption to cover football, basketball and hockey. Hansen said the department's view is that this exemption 'should be extended onlv upon a very strong and clear showing that team sports cannot survive under the present status of anti- trust's application." At any rate, he said, no action should be taken to lessen gov ernment regulation of the sale of radio and TV rights covering sports events.

This thing isn t over yet. Mrs. Aloysius Brodie said. We're going to fight it!" On Honeymoon Whether Brodie was of the same mind was not known. He was reported on his honeymoon "en route to Las Vegas. He was married Saturday to his college sweetheart, Sue Blevins of Woodland. Calif. The academic tempest was disclosed Monday when it was learned Brodie did not graduate with his class Sunday. Stan ford's official explanation was simply that the football star had received a below average grade in one course and as a result did not have sufficient credits. Said Cheating Mrs. Brodie, however, said the real reason was because young John was accused of cheating in a final examination and the poor grade was assessed as a penalty. She said the matter was appealed to the Stanford student council. Brodie was one of the top draft choices of the San Fran cisco Forty Niners. He was scheduled to report to the Na tional Football League team for duty in July. His eligibility for pro ball was not affected by his failure to win a degree.

Dallas (W National Amateur champion Harvie Ward wasn't among the 130 golfers who tried to match or beat the 3-under-par round of teenager Jack Moore in Trans-Mississippi golf tourna ment qualifying. Ward withdrew from the tour nament Monday after arriving here to find that his entry had put the Trans-Miss officials who had invited him in an em barrassing position because of a misunderstanding over Ward's true status as an amateur. The San Francisco auto sales man was placed on one year's probation and had his amateur standing taken away two weeks ago by the United States Golf Assn. because he had accepted travel expenses to golf tourna ments from his employer. The Trans-Miss officials in vited him anyway,, on the as sumption that Ward was baned only from USGA sponsored tournaments. The USGA pointedly in formed T r a n s-Miss officials Monday that Ward was "not an amateur," so Ward withdrew rather than jeopardize the Trans' position with the USGA. second place.

DeCola Scores TV Boxing Upset New York IH Tony De Cola, young Brooklyn welter weight, should be tougher than ever to beat now that he has learned "it's a cinch" to box 10 rounds. The 20-year-old former Golden Gloves performer engaged in his first 10-rounder Monday night and walked off with an upset split decision over Felix Chiocca of France in a widely televised bout at St. Nicholas Arena.
