The two manager! had to be teparated during a sud den flareup in New York latt summer. Neither threw any punchet in Baltimore Thurs day night but both got in tome hot tempered conversa tional licks after the Orioles a l'i game lead in the Amer lean league race. "We'll win the pennant," snapped Houk, obviously smarting over the fact the Yankees lost two out of three games to the Orioles. "Baltimore won't beat us. You can bet on that and you can put it in headlines." Cooling off a bit, Houk conceded "the Orioles have a good ball club," then hastily beat the Yankees 4-2 to take added, "but I think we have Bedford's Legion Nine Medford'i American Legion iunlor baseball crew, last the Area 4 Southern division aggregations to go into action makes its 1803 deoui on oar. urdav evening.

Apprised of the Yankee manager's comments, Hitch cock countered: "I'm glad Houk is so con cerned about the Orioles. He must really be worried about us to be so concerned." The Yanks fell behind ear ly Thursday night, finally tied the score at 2-all in the top of the eighth and then saw the Orioles break the tie in the bottom of the inning when singles by Brooks Rob inson and Jim Gentile off loser Stan Williams capped a two-run rally. Dick Hall, who relieved Baltimore starter Robin Rob erts with one out in the eighth, hurled scoreless ball the rest of the way for his second victory, both over the Yankees. The Yankees, who lost Mic key Mantle for at least a month when he suffered a broken bone in his left foot Wednesday night, also suf fered another blow Thursday night when starter Jim Bou- ton was struck on the jaw by Jackie Brandt's line drive -In the fourth inning.

Since losing the Ken tucky Derby to Chateaugay, the huge, oddly - spotted son of Nigromante came back to win the Preakness at Pinili co and the Jersey Derby at Garden State on May 30.

At entry time, Can dy Spots was listed as an overwhelming 2-5 favorite. Only Chateaugay, the Ken tucky Derby winner, was be ing given much of a chance of creating an upset. Chateau gay had an important work out Thursday and the results were all good following an abortive effort Wednesday when he pulled up after three furlongs and refused to run any farther. Chateaugay was quoted al 4-1 in the early line; Top Gallant and Bonjour both were 10-1; Tom Cat and In surrection were at 20-1; and Choker was the 30-1 outsider.
