Vees Take Montreal United Press International ' John James, who hasn't started a game for Richmond this season, is the man of the hour when the Vees wrap up the tough ones. James pitched three score less innings Thursday night to give Richmond a 5-4 decision over Montreal. It was the third straight -relief victory for the 155-pound righthand er, bringing his record, to 4-3. Richmond had to battle all the way to down the Royals. The Vees scored three runs in the sixth inning to tie the game and won it in the ninth. Havana made it seven vic tories in eight games by edg ing the International league- leading Buffalo Bisons, 2-1 Ted Wleand picked up his second relief win in two nights and his fifth in a row to raise his mark to 11-8. A seven-run first inning was all Rochester needed to beat Miami, 12-4, and moved into a third place tie with Mon treal.

Charley Brockell, Dick Bar- one and Kenny Totham sin gled during the inning. Sacramento again showed it was still the team to beat as it handled Vancouver with ease. Winston Brown, though touched for 11 hits, went the route 'for the Sacs. Joe Fra- zier nomerea in me nrst wun one on to account for the only Vancouver scoring. Giants Sound Off The Phoenix Giants found their home run bats after a onenight loss and dumped the j Portland Beavers 6-3 in a Pa cific Coast , league game , at Phoenix Thursday night. The loss dropped the Beavers to fourth place. As usual, Willie McCovey started the blasting. He smashed his 25th homer of the season over the right field light tower with- a wind of near gale force -blowing, at him. . ' Bobby Prescott, the Giants' clean-UD hitter - got his 1 7th homer of the year behind Mc Covey in the third to follow it with his 18th in the fifth. Catcher Roger McCardell rounded out the big " inning with his third, homer of the season in the fourth. While the Giants were un loading these shots at the ex pense of Marty Kutyna, Bud Watkins, the Phoenix right hander, was winning his sev enth game in eight starts since he was purchased from Van couver a little more than a month ago. Given a 5-0 lead at the end of four innings, Wat kins was seldom in trouble. His only real mistake was a gopher pitch to George Freese the Beaver's leading batter. It was Freese's 13th homer of the campaign. Chris Micolosi stopped San Diego on six hits as he scored his eighth win against seven losses. . The Indians scored their only two runs in the sec ond when Dom Domenichelli tripled to drive in one tally and later scored on Norm Sherry's, sacrifice fly.

Safety Bond Suggested For Hydros, Seattle (UPD The head man of the hydroplane camp that sponsors the Thriftway unlimited speedboats suggest ed Thursday that race opera tors post a $50,000 bond to insure safety regulations. The Thriftway camp, which operates Miss Thriftway and Thriftway Too, is headquar ters in Seattle and is sponsor ed by a supermarket organiza tion, headed by Willard Rhodes. . Rhodes made his suggestion after Ole Bardahl, another Se attle boat operator, blasted the operation of race meets. Rhodes, however, said his suggestion was not a reproach toward the Seattle Yacht Club, which handles the Gold Cup races here. High Standard " He said that all sponsors do not operate on the high standard as that of the Seattle Yacht Club and should post a $50,000 bond which would be forfeited in case of a viola tion. Bardahl's criticism came following the Diamond Cup race at Coeur d'Alene in which his driver, Jack Regas, was critically injured. The Diamond Cup sponsors de fended themselves saying the race last Sunday was run under maximum safety regu lations.
