Dodgers Win Third Straight In Drive to Catch Milwaukee By MILTON RICHMAN United Presi Sports Writtr Manager Walt Alston has bluntly told his Dodgers "it's now or never" and apparently they believe him. The Dodgers, about to tangle head-on with first-place Milwau kee tonight in the first of a three-game series, are "in mo mentum" with a three-game winning streak and believe they can overtake the Braves. The Brooks combined fiiie pitching, . solid hitting and a flawless defense in handing the Cincinnati Redlegs their ninth straight defeat, 8-0, Wednesday. Don Newcombe won his 10th game of the season. Gino Cimoli gave Newcombe a 3-0 lead when he belted a home run with two on in the third inning and the Dodgers hammered Hal Jeffcoat from the box with a five-run outburst in the seventh. Win Streak Ends The New York Giants ended the Cardinals' four-game win ning streak with a 13-6 victory In the only other National league game scheduled. In the American league, the White Sox mauled the Senators, 12-6; Baltimore defeated Detroit 9-3; the Kansas City Athletics cut the Yankee lead to six games by trimming the world champs for the second straight time, 6-3, and Boston ended a five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over Cleveland. Six home runs were hit in the Giants - Cardinals tussle, with Wally Moon, Stan Musial, Eddie Miksis and Ken Boyer connect ing for St. Louis, and Willie Mays and Hank Sauer hitting homers for New York. The Giants routed loser Lindy McDaniel with a six-run third Inning and Valmy Thomas trip led with the bases full in the fifth to highlight a four-run ral ly. Bonus southpaw Mike Mc- Cormick was the winner, coming to starter Stu Miller s rescue in the first inning. The White Sox scored seven runs in the third inning to clinch their game with Washing ton. Bob Nsher, Roy Sievers and Art Schult each homered for the Senators, all of the blows coming with the bases empty. Reliever Gerry Staley was cred ited with his fifth victory while Russ Kemmerer suffered his eighth defeat. Joe Durham ana Al Pilarcik each hit three-run homers to lead the Orioles to their victory over the Tigers. Ray Moore, who registered his ninth victory, Baseball Pacific Coast League W L Pet.

The Maids in pushing Parsons back into third spot got only two hits but had the aid of walks and errors. Two. runs on three errors, two walks and a single by Arlene Hoffman in the fifth inning gained the vic tory margin. Parsons led 3 to 1 after three frames but the Maids tied the count in the fourth on three walks and a miscue. Ron Weatherford pitched one hit ball for Crater Lake.

Southpaw Billy Hoeft gave up Baltimore's first four runs to suffer his eighth defeat. Jim Piersall's two-run homer in the third inning paved the way for the Red Sox victory over Mike Garcia, whose only satis faction was in holding Ted Wil liams hitless in four trips to cut Ted's batting average to .385. Willard Nixon helped himself to his 10th victory by singling be fore Piersall's home run. Former Yankees did all the damage as Kansas City won its first series from New York since moving west. One-time Yankee farmhand Jack Urban pitched the eight-hit victory, with ninth inning help from Virgil Trucks, and in the three-run first inning which tagged Johnny Kucks with the loss, the names of Vic Power, Billy Hunter, Bob Cerv, Billy Martin and Woody Held figured in the run-making. What proved to be the winning runs came in the fourth inning on a walk to Held and singles by Tim Thompson and Urban.

Joey Lopes Earns Draw Chicago (IB Lightweight champion Joe Brown tried to give the fans a fight when he met Joey Lopes, he said today, but instead he wound up wi the ninth draw of his 88-fight career. "I just didn't have the right mental attitude," he said. "I thought I'd go along with him for four or five rounds and then put him away. But when I got ready to finish him off, I could not do it." Lopes, who won a 49-45 edge on . the card of judge Harold Marovitz, contended that he won the bout, even though both Spike McAdam and'referee Joey White scored the fight even, McAdam by a 47-47 count and White 46-46. The result of the televised bout Wednesday night was Lopes third draw in 56 fights. Neither of the fighters were within the 135-pound limit for the bout, an overweight meeting in which Brown's title was not at stake. Brown weighed 139 pounds and Lopes 136.

Of CQHPW. lAlDSTOMTHOT SSI" !-Q5saan Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL Some time ago I discussed in this column the possibility of future boat registration and what we could do as sportsmen to make such legislation unneces sary. I hope that someone who read it thought twice before overloading his boat on some of our lakes but my observations were that the same vicious prac tices of overloading, using a motor too large for the craft, neglecting lifepreservers for each person aboard and just plain "horsing around" con tinued as before. Very recently there were 12 drownings within a week's. time in and around San Francisco. There was a hue and cry by the press public opinion raised it's shocked head and suddenly there it was legislation which now requires each and every boat 16 feet and under to be registered. Boats over that length have required registra tion for some time. HOME-MADE COFFINS Operators of many of the marinas surrounding the bay said that many of the boats using their facilities were little mora than home-made "coffins." The estimates of boats which were unseaworthy varied from 5 to 20 per cent. It is hoped that these craft will be eliminated from the waterways by this registration legislation. In other words it will be up to the xegistrating official to decide whether he thinks a boat is worthy of reg istration or not. No doubt this will deprive some of their former pleasures of boating who cannot afford a good boat but that's the lawl Incidentally this law gives the state police the authority to arrest anyone for pulling an unlicensed boat on the high way. NEED COMMON SENSE Now what I would like to point out is this. So far we here in Oregon have absolute free dom in our boating with the ex ception of tidal waters which have some restrictions by the Coast Guard. We can maintain this freedom only if we indi vidually use common sense. OVERLOADED Fishing Willow Creek reser voir one day this season we saw an (8-foot dinghy with two men and a motor; another very small boat with two men, a boy, a dog and a motor (estimates listed their "freeboard" to about 3 inches); and then there were the "happy folks" eight of them in a boat designed for four! Fortunately the lake remained calm but any mountain lake can really roll in a matter of min utes, and I mean a very few minutes. Any rough water at all would have placed all these people in a very dangerous posi tion. This is not using common sense! Honestly folks, let's think it over before we find ourselves bound up in a lot of inspections, registrations and other red tape. Let's have f u l but let's be sen sible about it. FISHING REPORTS The following fishing reports were compiled from- telephone conversations with the major re sorts in this area.

There aren't too many fishing right now. The fish are here but angling is only iair. Best lures are Flatfish and Andy Keekers. Willow Creek Reservoir Some of the best high lake fish ing in the area is right here. A number of nice catches have been made both trolling and with single eggs. Mike Dean, a young Grants Pass angler made a nice catch of fish up to 14 inches using single eggs. Fish Lake Llpyd Morris re ported that the lake is a little slower than anticipated but still some fine fish up to 20 inches have been taken this past week. Harbor The Hewitt's of Hew itt's Anchorage say that there are some fish in the river but it is still on the slow side and they would advise anyone plan ning a trip over right now to telephone Brookings 2401 for last minute information. This is a spot to watch from now on, for they are coming into their hottest time of the season. Wenatchee Nudges Ems A record Eugene crowd of 4,215 was on hand Wednesday as Wenatchee tucked away the first outing of what could be a pennant-deciding Northwest league series.

Lewiston dropped Salem, 6-3, while Tri-City got up off the cellar deck to beat Yakima, 10-3 in remaining games. Wenatchee's Pedro Carillo struck out 1 and walked three on his way to a seventh win in 13 decisions. Brantley struck out eight and walked four for his fourth loss against 19 wins. Lewiston's Broncs collected their fourth straight victory as Jerry Jacobs worked easily be hind a six-run cushion. The Broncs scored three runs in each of the first two innings to coast home.

Big clubbers for Tri-City were Lou Hague with a two-run homer in the fifth, Danny Carr with a three-runner in the sev enth, and Ed Zander with a 400-foot solo homer in the sev enth, j Young Blood Has Role of Favorite Milwaukee HP) Golf's young blood was favored to produce the champion in the $35,000 Mil ler Open tournament which started at the Tripoli Country club course here today.

CONCRETE C 248 E.McANDREWS lift Thursday, August 22. 195 Sugar Asks Help From Governor New York (IP) Sugar Ray Robinson hopes Gov. Averell Harriman will referee his fight with the International Boxing club. "I expect to talk to the gov ernor on the phone today," said the middleweight champion, "to make an appointment for him to hear my side of the story in Al bany." Robinson wants the governor to hear his story before Mon day, when the New York Ath letic commission will hold a hearing at its New York City headquarters to determine if Sugar Ray was justified in call ing off next month's title defense against Carmon Basilio. Because Chairman Julius Hel fand of the commission had been quoted in newspapers as saying he expected Robinson to go through with his contracts for the fight, the champion sought Governor Harriman's ear "be fore the commission can try to force me or suspend me." Robinson was scheduled to de fend his 160-pound crown against welterweight champion Basilio at Yankee stadium, Sept. 23; but he called off the fight Tues day night because of a dispute with the IBC over theater-television.

San Diego took its third win straight over the Mounties on Wednesday night by dumping the second place squad, 6-2 and 5-1, in the evening's only double header. ' If their hot streak lasts, the Pads just might tie up second place by taking tonight's series ender. Preston Ward was the big man with the bat for San Diego, hitting his 15th homer in the first game with one aboard and his 16th in the second contest, also with one on. In neither game did the Mounties come close to even tying things up.

In ban Francisco, the Rain- ier's winning hurler Bud Pod bielan, gave up three hits as did loser Tommy Hurd.

It was the Seals' first loss in four games. Another pitchers' contest took place in Sacramento where Bud Watkins allowed the free swing ing Stars only four hits, while losing hurler Bennie Daniels permitted six, four in the first frame, for all three Solon runs. Daniels also scored the only Star tally with his bases empty homer in the fifth.
