Griffith, of New York, who risks his 147 - pound crown against Luis Rodriguez of Cuba, said "I was sharp and ready to defend last Saturday when all that rain caused the postponement. And I'll stay sharp." All six fighters must weigh In again Thursday noon. Two who must watch their weights carefully are featherweight challenger Sugar Ramos of Cuba and junior welterweight contender Ray mundo (Bat tling) Torres of Mexico.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Orlando, Fla. - (UPD - The Minnesota Twins surprised al most everyone last year by finishing second and their manager, Sam Mele, thinks they may be even more of a surprise this coming season. He is, in his own .words, "quietly confident that we can win the pennant. "I'm not downgrading the Yankees, or any of the other clubs which figure to be con tenders," he said, "but after the way we came through last year, I have to like our chances." He would like a starting right-handed pitcher to go with Camilo Fascaul and a utility infielder. Otherwise his club is all set. Heavy With Southpaws If there is one drawback to the 1963 outlook it is the pre ponderance of left-handed pitching. Three of his four starters will be southpaws. "I'm not too concerned about that so long as my left handers keep getting the bat ters out," Mele points out. Of the 18 pitchers on the Twins roster, 10 of them are left- Baseball MONDAY BASEBALL RESULTS By United Press International (At Saiasota, Fla.) Los Ang.

In the future the title will be decided through four regional tournaments and a four-team two-day playoff here. mm 1 aiscgj (2gKgx Stop-O-Matic Brake Lining In stilled an ill 4 Wheels WHILE YOU WAIT! Easy terms. Brake Specialist for 23 years. Phono 779-1966 NATIONAL BRAKE CENTER 1216 North Court handers. So are two of their most promising youngsters. Starting along with Pas cual, whom many regard as the best pitcher in the Amer ican League and who had a 20-11 record last season, will be left-handers Dick Stigman (12-5), Jim Kaat (18-14) and John Kralick (12-11). The veteran Ray Moore (8 3) and big Frank Sullivan (4 1) will be the right-handed re lief pitchers with Bill Pleis (2-5) the bullpen southpaw. Three Spots Open That leaves three pitching spots open and unless the Twins make a deal Mele hopes to find a right-handed starter from among Lee Stange (4-3), Joe Bonikowski (5-7) or rookie James Manning, who was 7-11 at Charlotte. A rookie southpaw, Gary Rog genburk, 13-4 at Erie, has a chance to stick as does an other left-hander, Gerald Ar rigo, who was 6-10 at Van couver. Except for that infield util ity spot the rest of the club is set . The outfield will have Har mon Killebrew, whom Mele says will be strictly an out fielder this season, in left, Lennie Green in center and Bob Allison in right. Despite a batting average of only .243, Killebrew hit 48 home runs and batted in 126. Green bat ted .271 with 14 homers and 63 RBIs while Allison hit .266 with 29 homers and 102 RBIs. Mele is high on rookie Pedro Oliva, who hit .350 at Charlotte last season with 17 homers and 93 RBIs. "There's a good chance he will break into our starting outfield," Mele claims. Young Infielders Helped One reason for the Twins strong showing last year was the development of two kid infielders, third baseman Rich Rollins and second baseman' Bernie Allen. Rollins hit .298 with 16 homers and 96 RBIs while Allen batted .269 with 12 homers and 64 RBIs. Mele isn't worried about the sophomore jinx hitting either of them. 'They have too much po tential and are going to be even better this year," he forecast. Rounding out the infield will be Zoilo Versalles, who has developed into one of the league's best shortstops, and first baseman Vic Power. Ver salles batted .241 with 17 homers and 67 RBIs while Power hit .290 with 16 hom ers and 63 RBIs. Earl Battey, one of the best, will be the first-string catcher with Gerald Zimmerna in re serve. Battey hit .280 last year with 11 homers and 57 RBIs as he caught 148 games. TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1963 ROXY SATURDAY MGHTERS G-.M s (8-01 4. Eddie Glover 531; New Friends (1-7) 0. Bill Howell 529.

Detroit Wins Olympic Race; Portland Runs 3rd New York-UIPD-Gov. George Romney of Michigan and Mayor Jerome Cavanagh of Detroit expressed confidence today that a "total effort" In money and manpower will convince the International Olympic Committee that the 1968 summer games should be held in Detroit. Detroit won designation as the United States candidate from members of the U.S. Olympic Committee Board of Directors Monday but must still be approved by the in ternational committee, which also will study bids from Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Lausanne, and Lyons, France. The Olympics have not been staged in the United States since 1932 when they were held in Los Angeles one of the four cities which competed with Detroit Mon day for the honor of be'ng named the U.S. candidate for 1968. The IOC adopted a rule in 1950 that only one city from a country may bid for an Olympiad and it must have approval of its National Olympic Committee. St. Petersburg Won by Floyd St. Petersburg, Fla. - OIPP Ray Floyd, a newcomer whose hot putter, tender age and blond crew cut could cam him the title of the golden boy of golfdom, has found out where they pay the winners. So unfamiliar with the me chanics of winning was the 20-year-old youngster from Fayetteville, N.C., that of ficials had to chase him down to hand him his $3,500 top prize money in the $25,000 st. Petersburg Open he won with a 14-under-par 274. Dave Marr carded a 72-hole total of 275 which brought him second. A stroke behind Marr at 276 were Mason Rudolph and Tommy Bolt, who had led at the end of the first round. Informed sources say the IOC is inclined to select a non-United State'' city as the site for the 1968 Olympics but Gov. Romney and Mayor Cavanagh believe Detroit will make the best presentation to the IOC when it meets in Nai robi, Kenya, next October. Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, president of the U.S. Olym pic Committee, revealed that the 40-man Olympic commit tee gave 32 of its votes to De troit. Los Angeles received four votes, Portland two and San Francisco and Philadel phia one each.
