BARTLETT ST. Phono SP 3-7404 Attendance Mark Francisco Giants did this year to crack the old baseball at tendance record the Giants set when they lived in New York. It took the San Francisco entry just 65 games to smash the mark of 1,600,793, set by the Giants at the Polo Grounds in 1947. That mark was surpassed on Sunday when a total of 1,605,871 was reached - with 12 home games still to go. It is safe to say that a mark of 1,800,000 will be reached by the season's end. And the puzzling part of the feat is that it was turned in with a fifth-place club. 30 Years in New York Rationalizing, It can be pointed out that the Giants are new in San Francisco (this is their third campaign here); that a new ball park was un veiled this year, etc. But the Giants were in New York more than half a century and they never found a single gim mick that would build up at tendance to what it has been on the famed "Gold Coast." Gary Schumackcr, head of the Giants' promotion staff and still with a soft spot in his heart for old New York, started to explain why the club didn't attract huge crowds in the East. "Well," he started, "we didn't have lights for night games until World War II. And, uh . . ." That was about the extent of it. Average attendance at night here is only a few thousand over the day records. Big Saturday and Sunday after noon crowds are the equal izers. Two Items seem to dictate the cause of success here: (1) great promotion; (2) a huge parking lot that assures ball park visitors of comfortable access to the game. The promotion department spreads all over Northern California, digging deep into the 5.000.000 persons living i in the area. i Walter Mails, one -time major league pitching star, ;s the "promoter" of special trips and for nearly every game anywhere from 20 to 50 bus loads of fans come in groups from outlying districts.

Tenn.-4T-Offici-als of the Nashville baseball team of the Southern associa tion said today they were "totally unprepared" for the action of the Cincinnati Reds who will end their working agreement with Nashville be cause the Southern association docs not permit Negro players. Board Chairman Jack Nor man, who led a three-run Nashville delegation Monday to talk terms with Cincinnati officials, said the team had hoped for a better financial arrangement with Cincinnati for the 1981 season. But Norman said the Reds' announcement "ended it for us" before negotiations began. Officials of both clubs talked for three hours. er Brazilian team defeated the Formosans, who are playing in the Olympics under protest, 5-0.

By MILTON RICHMAN United fres, International Thirty days hath Septem ber and if the Baltimore Orioles can keep winning at the same rate as in August, Paul Richards has a hunch "we're liable to be still play ing baseball by October 15th." He's talking about the World Series, son, and he certainly has every right to in the face of Baltimore's tre mendous surge. The Orioles have been the hottest club in the majors this month with 20 victories in 28 games so far. Not even the first-place Yankees, with a 20 and 10 log, were able to match that pace. The Orioles made it six out of their last seven and climbed within IV2 games of first place by blanking the Chicago White Sox, 4-0, Mon day night. It was Baltimore's fifth straight victory over the defending American league champions and made the top three look like this: W. L. Pet. GB GL N. Y 73 49 .598 33 Bait 74 53 .583 IV2 27 Chi 71 54 .568 3'2 29 Jack Fisher, 21-year-old righthander who won only one game for the Orioles last year, shut out the White Sox on four hits and struck out eight last night for his 10th triumph. Indians Scalp Senators The Cleveland Indians moved to within two games of fourth place with a 6-4 decision over the Washington Senators and the Boston Red Sox downed the Kansas City Athletics, 4-1. New York and Detroit were idle. In the National league, the Pittsburgh Pirates retained their 5'2 game lead with a 10-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, the St. Louis Cardinals took over second place by beating the Milwau kee Braves, 3-0, and the Philadelphia Phillies defeat ed the San Francisco Giants, 2-0. Cincinnati and Chicago were not scheduled. Jim (Mudcat) Grant of the Indians brought his lifetime record over the Senators to 15-1 even though Washington routed him with a two-run rally in the ninth. It was Grant's ninth win of the sea son, five of which have been at the Senator's expense. Home runs by rookie Lou Clinton and Frank Malzone carried the Red Sox to vic tory over the A's, who went down to their 17th setback in the last 20 games. Don Larson suffered his 10th loss against a single victory. Law Wins 19th Hal Smith and Don Honk each hit three-run homers against the Dodgers to help the Pirates snap a four-game losing streak. Vcrn Law, who also homered, won his 19th game and fifth of the season against the Dodgers. Larry Jackson won his 15th game for the Cardinals with a three-hitter over the Cards until the seventh when they scored their first run with the aid of a wild pitch. Rookie Art Mahaffey (where have they been keeping him?) won his fourth straight game for the Phillies without a de feat by limiting the Giants to two hits. Mahaffey, who had an 11-9 record with Buf falo of the International league earlier this year, pitched perfect ball for 5 1-3 innings before Ed Bressoud singled to right field. The Phillies scored their runs off loser Mike McCormick, 11 10. I.INF. SCORES: American League Chicago 000 000 000 0 4 2 Baltimore 201 ouu iox 4 b i Score. Kemmerer ill. Staley 181 and Lollar.

Yanks Head Wants AL Team in LA New York fUPD President Dan Topping of the New York Yankees was expected to press "the Los Angeles issue today at an expansion meeting of officials representing all eight American league cities Topping considers Los An geles a fertile territory for a new American league club and sees no reason why that city should not have two ma jor league clubs as long as another National league club is being considered for New York. A joint major league com mittee, which met in Chicago on Aug. 2, voted to expand both the American and Na tional league to 10 teams. The four additional cities were to come from the defunct Conti nental league, which never planned to have a franchise in Los Angeles. ' Joe Cronin, president of the American league, said today's meeting would be "strictly ex ploratory." Little concrete news was ex pected to come out of today's session since there was no agenda and any matter that might come up could not be voted on without the unani mous consent of all eight AL clubs. "The way things stand now," said one official, "you couldn't get all eight clubs to agree on the time of day." Odell Declines Alternate Spot In Links Tilt Portland - (UPI) - Tom Lilje holm of Rose City of Portland led the scoring in the Oregon regional 36 - hole qualifying tournament here Monday for the National Amateur golf meet.

Readymix CONCRETE by Lininger's PHONE SP 3-7555 sipawroirs Law Stars as Bucs Batter Los Angeles By ALEX KAHN United Preii International Los Angeles -IUPD- Manager Walt Alston today heaped praise on Vernon Law who pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 10-2 win Monday night over the Los Angeles Dodgers. "I would have to say Law is the best pitcher in the league," Alston said. "He had Coach Irked At Russian Allegations Rome - (UPI) - U.S. sports of ficials charged today that the Russians were trying to "dis parage" U.S. superiority in Olympic track and field, ascribing it to the great num ber of Negroes on the team. The officials were comment ing on a view put forward by Grigorii Kukushkin, director of Russia's central planning board for the training of ath letes, and Vassili Kuznetsov, the Soviet Union's decathlon champion. The two members of the Soviet Union's Olympic dele gation said in an interview with this correspondent that "most of the stars on the American track and field team are Negroes." They said Ne groes have "special physical endowments for sports" and a "different nervous system." About 40 per cent of U. S. men's track and field team are Negroes and 13 out of the 18 women on the team. "This is their way of dis paraging our lead over them in men's track and field events," said a U. S. coach. "On our team we make no distinctions between Negroes or whites. We're all Ameri cans here." The coach, who asked not to be identified because he felt the controversy had "po litical" aspects, said the Rus sians seem to make a distinc tion between the Negroes and the whites on the field of ath letic competition. "Their approach seems to be that we, originally a white race, have had to call on an other race to help us fight our battles," he said. Athletic Loop Discussion Set Portland The longest auto letic directors from eight western universities are scheduled to meet in Salt Lake City Oct. 3, presumably to complete plans for organ izing a new athletic confer ence. The proposed conference would include some schools from-the Skyline and Border conferences and Pacific North west schools orphaned by a breakup of the old Pacific Coast Conference. The meeting will be the fourth this year of representa tives of the proposed new league. They met in June in San Francisco and agred to work toward organization of the new lague. Members of the new confer ence would include Utah, Brigham Young and New Mexico of the Skyline, Ari zona State and Arizona Uni versity of the Border Confer ence and Washington State, Oregon and Oregon State of the old Pacific Coast Conference. great stuff on the ball and ex cellent control. Every time we've seen him he looked great." Alston said he thought his players performed well, but simply were overcome by Law's excellent pitching. In tonight's final appear ance of the Pirates at the Col iseum, Alston named the er ratic Sandy Koufax, 6-10, to oppose Pittsburgh's second best hurler, Bob Friend, 13-11. Although the Pirates ran up a lopsided score Monday night, the key blow was catcher Hal Smith's three-run homer in the fourth inning off Johnny Podres. It was Smith's fourth homer off Podres and his seventh against the Dodg ers this season. He had not hit a homer since the Pirates were here last month when he hit two four-baggers on consecutive nights. But third baseman Don Hoak also had a three-run homer in the ninth inning off Ed Palmquist and Law fol lowed with his first homer of the season. For Law it was his 19th win against five losses. He now has a streak of eight straight wins and it was his fifth victory without a loss against the Dodgers. The win snapped a four-game Pirate losing streak. The Dodgers got a one-run lead in the first inning when Maury Wills doubled and scored on Norm Larker's in field single, his only hit of the game. Tommy Davis gave the crowd of 37,369 something to cheer about with his seventh homer of the season in the sixth inning. Monday night's crowd brought the seasonal attend ance at the Coliseum to 1,995, 539, leaving the Dodgers less than 5,000 short of the 2 mil lion mark in attendance for the second straight season.

Cramer, a dispatcher clerk at the Medford post office, said his only training was exercise with light weights to condition himself and pre vious work at perfection of stroke and timing. Cramer, who did not use fins or equipment, says he is not a swimming expert, but was interested in showing that a person can build strength and endurance with out spending long periods in the water. Cramer said the strokes he"- used were the trudge and crawl and the six speed Australian crawl. He followed the shore line with Mrs. Cramer walking the dis tance around the lake with him.
