SF Berserk On Baseball By HAL WOOD San Francisco , (UPD San Francisco has gone baseball berserk! On every corner, in every bar, in most homes, at every service station, the talk is baseball in general and the Giants in particular. "Never saw anything like It," says Chub Feeney, Giant vice president. But ticket manager Peter Hoffman is the man caught In the middle. "We est an average of 25 letters arWeek asking for res ervations for the World's" Se ries," says Hoffman. x "Last week I got a letter from a man, enclosing a check for $1,000 as a deposit for a box for eight for the full se ries. Like all the others, I had to return it." Seals Stadium Series With a stadium that will seat only 23,000, the Giants aren't in very good position to entertain the World Series but they'll be happy to take It anyway. "If we should happen to get into the series," says Feeney, "it will be played right here in Seals Stadium not in the Los Angeles Coliseum as some have suggested. "The ticket scale would be such that the players still would et good cut of money." Meanwhile, the San Fran cisco fans still can't believe that this rookie-laden club se- riously can be in the race. The Giants are up there but are they up there to stay? They ask the question at breakfast, luncheon and din ner. Gibson, Seixas Advance in Tennis Tourney Haverford, Pa.

Aaron, whose batting aver age wavered between .230 and Chance Diadem weapon to tire the 32-year-old champion. At 26, the Michigan speed ster, who advances constantly from a stand-up position, is at his peak and has worked long and hard for the chance at the lightweight crown. Brown, classed by some as the greatest lightweight to hit the ring in many years, has a swift one-two combination that has knocked out 32 op ponents in his long career of 96 professional bouts. Brown was a 12-5 favorite. General Manager Roy Ha mey announced the switch in managers1 with startling sud denness Tuesday without giv ing reasons for Smith's dis missal other than that "we thought a change was in order." Can Salvage The bald, 47-year-old Saw yer said he thought he could "salvage something" from the team which lost nine of its last 12 games but refused to pre dict how high the Phillies would finish. "A lot of clubs now are getting hot," he said. Sawyer has been' out of baseball since. June, 1952, when the Phillies handed him his walking papers after four years at the helm. He re mained in the Philadelphia area as a businessman.

His stickwork on Tuesday night along with rookie Carlton Willey's five hit pitching effort, boosted the Braves to within a half game of the first-place San Francisco Giants. Yankees Widen Lead Rain washed out the rest of the National league schedule, causing postponement of games between the Giants and Phillies, the Dodgers and Pi rates, and the Cubs and Red legs. Over in the American league, the Yankees widened their lead to 12 games by starting their western invas ion with a 13-3 win over the Detroit Tigers.

Pierce Wins 10th Reliever Turk Lown had to choke a ninth-inning Balti more rally to preserve a 4-2 victory for Chicago. Southpaw Billy Pierce, credited with his 10th triumph appeared headed for his fourth shutout of the cam paign until the Orioles knock ed him out in the ninth with two runs on Bob Nieman's error and three straight walks. Lown then came in and got Jim Marshall on a long fly to end the game. Jack Harshman gave up eight hits, including a home run by Ray Boone, in suffer ing his eighth loss against sev en victories. Cleveland and Washington split a twi-night doublehead er, the Indians taking the nightcap, 5-3, after the Sena tors won the opener, 4-2, in 12 innings. Rookie Hal Woodeschick was the winner in the second game as Vic Power and Earl Averill each drove in two runs against loser John Ro monosky, who struck out 10 and hit a homer in a losing cause. Rocky Colavito hit a homer in each game for Cleveland but the opener was decided when Norm Zauchin and Ken Aspromonte slam med successive homers in the 12th off Cal McLish.

No you can't go to The Craterian to see "THE FLY"! Ifs too scarey even for you it might scare the bolt out of your head! : I v SPORTS n Bob Turley Scores 15 th United Press International Bob Turley, with 15 vic tories already to his credit, is bidding to become the first Yankee pitcher to win more than 21 games since Lefty Gomez notched 26 back in 1934. Turley breezed to his 15th triumph Tuesday night when he defeated the Detorit Tigers, 13-3, with a seven-hit effort. He struck out five batters to raise his league-leading total to 112. "Whether or not I lead the league in strikeouts" means absolutely nothing to me," says Turley. "I am a lot more interested in winning at least 20 games." Originally, Turley was tab bed as the heir apparent to Bob Feller's old title of strike out king. Then he made him self over as a pitcher and con centrated more on control. "I used to be just a throw er." he says, "and now I think I'm finally learning how to be a pitcher. No matter what he calls himself, he looks like a cinch to break into that 20-game bracket for the first time in his major leagQe career. Lary Seeks 6th Victory Over NY Detroit (UPD Frank Lary of Detroit will be shooting at a 14-year-old mark tonight when he tries to beat the Yankees for the sixth time this season.

He beat the Yanks eight times in 1908. 2 Barbaras Vie in Golf Chicago (UPD Barbara Romack, once the national amateur champion, and Bar bara Mclntire, both members of America's Curtis Cup team, match shots today in a head line second round match in the 58th Women's Western Amateur golf championship.

Meanwhile, United Press In ternational learned that Har ridge sent Griffith a telegram last April accusing Deorsey of an "unwarranted and unjusti fied 'attack on Frick and de- manding that Deorsey cease or desist. I Deorsey, confirming that Harridge had sent such a warning, denied any sugges tion that he had quit under pressure or was fired. Both Frick and Harridge, when informed of Deorsey's resignation, declined com ment. "I have never met Mr. De orsey and don't care tp com ment on his resignation," said Frick. "He's retired and I'd just as soon leave it at that," added Harridge. Deorsey accused Frick of "unwarranted meddling" in the Washington club's internal affairs last May. At about the same time, he charged that baseball is being "murdered" by big leagues; that unless Congress acts quickly, "the greed and public-be-damned attitude of a few club owners and officials will destroy" baseball. As a parting shot, Deorsey Monday assailed the house- passed bill to exempt profes sional sports from anti-trust regulations as "a private -bill for the benefit of 16 big league club owners." The bill is pending before a Senate anti monopoly subcommittee. ' r ' - .
