A for a third league Cincinnati Post and Times Star Sports Editor Pat Har mon, in a copyrighted story, quoted Giles as saying it would be "much easier to form a new eight-team major league than to expand the present leagues from eight to 10 teams." Last November Giles said he favored expand ing present leagues. The story also said financ ial backing was -ready and the teams named. Would Take Years But Giles said a third league was a "long way off." He said he thought it would take about 10 years for a third league to be on a par with the present leagues. "There are problems of fi nancing, players and other things," he said." The report that broadcaster Harry Wismer said backers for the new league had pledg ed the 'money at a meeting three weeks ago drew surpris ed reactions from other base ball officials. Powel Crosley Jr., president of the Cincinnati Reds, and Gabe Paul, general manager, said they had not heard of plans for the new league. Paul said he thought the present leagues "would co operate" with a new league. Joe Brown, Pittsburgh Pi rates general manager, fore saw more problems for a third league, if it operates indepen dently, "than if it works through present baseball." He said he had not heard of definite plans." Names Cities They would find it very expensive to meet the present pension system, for players," Brown commented. Frank Lane, Cleveland In dians general manager, said he thought expansion of the two existing leagues to 10 teams was the "logical fore runner of a third league." The Post and Times-Star story said teams in the new league would be New York, Montreal, Toronto, Dallas, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and two still to be selected. The report said the New York team would play at Flushing Meadows in a new park built by the Port Auth ority. It said financial back ing was pledged by a group brought together by William Shea, chairman of the New York City Mayor's Committee For Baseball. Shea, in New York, would not confirm this.

His troubles began in May, 1957, when he was struck in the eye by a liner off the bat of the Yankees' uii McDougald. The first few days of the pennant races definitely have turned the spotlight on the Giants and White Sox-both rated strong contenders and both off to perfect starts. Neither the Yankees nor Braves has lost, of course, but still are in the unexpected po sition of having to make up ground. With the season less than a week old, the stage already has been set for fire works.

By RAY AYRES Uniled Press International New York -(UPD- The little filly limping through the pas ture in Kentucky was a piti ful sight and there was little hope she ever would race. Apparently a strange mare had kicked her in the right hip. But three years later that same filly was made winter book favorite for the 85th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs next May 2. Cornelius V. Whitney, her owner, is de termined that she get her chance in America's greatest racing spectacle, although he also, has nominated her for the Kentucky Oaks to be run the day before the Derby. He will delay his final decision Johnson Ranks High New York (UPD - Alonzo Johnson, a young heavy weight hopeful from Rankin, Pa., has found a new "home" at St. Nichols Arena. The 22-year-old former na tional AAU champion scored his third victory in less than two months at the ancient fight club Monday night when he was awarded a split 10 round decision over Billy Hunter of Detroit. Johnson, who weighed 187V2 pounds to Hunter's 192, was the aggressor through out. He moved forward con stantly and beat Hunter to the punch with crisp left jabs and hooks to the head. Hunter was more cautious but also scored well with countering blows to the face and body. Referee Davey Feld gave Johnson six rounds, awarded three to Hunter and called one even. Judge Leo Birn- baum voted for Hunter, 6-4. x In his two previous appear ances at St. Nick's, Johnson out-pointed Charlie Forest and veteran Jimmy Slade. It was his 15th victory in 16 pro bouts. . It was the sixth setback in 19 outings for Hunter, who upset - big Bob Baker at St. Nick's two months ago.

Whitney tried to name the filly Silver Star for she is a daughter of Citation out of Silver Fog, one of his best broodmares. The name was not available and eventually the filly was called Silver Spoon. She no longer is little al though there still are signs of the limp she had on her own er's farm near Lexington where she was foaled on Mar. 6, 1956. Silver Spoon has grown into a husky filly, ro bust enough to beat colts, a feat beyond the ability of most of her sex. Silver Spoon, who boasts a perfect record of six wins in six races, easily handled the best colts in the West in the Santa Anita Derby, the victory which made her fav orite for the Rose Run. Only one filly ever has won the Kentucky Derby although 29 have tried. Regret scored by two lengths in 1915 as fav orite for Harry Payne Whit ney, the father of the man who hopes to send out the sec ond filly Derby winner. . During the Santa Anita meeting, with her limp slow ly disappearing, Silver Spoon won the La Centinela, the Santa Ynez and the Santa Su sana Stakes from members of her own sex. Then she took on the colts in the Santa Anita Derby and pranced home by two and one-half lengths. Her 1:49 clocking was only one-fifth of a second off the Santa An ita Derby record shared by Your Host and Determine. Silver Spoon's style of run ning resembles Citation's, ac cording . to observers. His ground-devouring stride and effortless speed were a thing of beauty. It carried "B i g Cy" to a three and one-half length victory in the Ken tucky Derby of 1948. 16 Ft.
