round decision over the New
Yorker In their television
fight at Madison Square Gar
den. : The victory stretched Or
tega's unbeaten string to nine
bouts, including one draw.
- Ortega of Mexicali, Mcx.,
threw too many punches, al
though, in this battle of left

Bello - seemed - to land the
harder blows.
Twenty - seven - year - old
Ortega, a veteran of 118 bouts
And 11 years in the ring,

his nose began bleeding in
the second.
prtega's right ear bled in
the ninth. There were no
knockdowns during the excel

Both Agressive
; Ifach tried to force the
fighting. Ortega tried to ad
vance flatfootcdly and beat
BiHy . with long jabs and
rights and with similarly long
shots to the body. Bello, cir
cling almost constantly, tried
to hammer his opponent back
with left jabs and left hooks,
ipiced now and then by a
Blraight right.
In the fifth session, Ortega
knocked Bello back onto his
ljeels and then battered him
fti a corner. Referee Johnny

ing and they showed it Fri
day night, with a 20-5 thump
ing of Lewiston, first-half
winners.

'63 BUICK
"SPECIAL" 2-Dr.
At low At
Muncey, of Seattle, seeks
to add to his stature as the
greatest unlimited driver of
this era and at the same time
tie the immortal Gar Wood's
record of five gold cup vic
tories. Muncey won the covet
ed cup in 1956, 1957, 1961
and 1962.
Muncey dominated five
days of action packed time
trials by hurling his giant hy
droplane around the Detroit
river course at a gold cup rec
ord of 116.463, almost three
miles an hour faster than the
second best average turned
in by Ron Musson and Miss
Bardahl. His boat led a field
of 12 that had a combined av
erage of 109.049 miles per
hour, easily outdistancing the
record average of 107.380
miles per hour set last year
for the gold cup race at Se
attle. Miss Bardahl and Miss
U.S. I, driven by Roy Duby,
also broke the gold cup speed
record.
Two Accidents
Time trials during the week
were marred by two acci
dents.' On Tuesday, two-time
gold cup winner Danny Fost
er saw his Gale VII sink
when the propellor sheared
loose. He escaped injury, but
driver Morlan Visel wasn't
as lucky. Visel was going into
the first turn with Miss Madi
son at a speed of about 145
mph Friday when the left
sponson tore loose. Visel was
thrown 30 feet into the water
and was in serious condition
in a Detroit hospital. Both
boats were so badly damaged
they were out of the race.
With the field filled Fri
day, Saturday's action was
centered on attempts to
'bump" some of the early
qualifiers. Miss Blue Chip,
out of Detroit, and Miss St.
Regis, Washington, D.C., were
successful in ousting Such
Cruet, Detroit, and Mariner
Too, Detroit.
Miss Blue Chip, driven by
Walter Kade, turned in a time
of 104.770 to better the 96.8
time turned in earlier by Mar
iner Too. Then Miss St. Re
gis turned in a time of
102.144, with Jimmy Fyle be
hind the wheel, to oust Such
Crust.
Hodges'
Comeback
Defeated
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
Gil Hodges' comeback plans
have gone the way of all good
New Years resolutions
right down the drain.
The Washington Senators
are the ones responsible. Who
would ever figure them to go
on a tour - game winning
streak?
If the Yankees were on a
streak like that, they'd hard
ly even notice it, but it's dif
ferent with the last - place
Senators. For one thing, it
pnunls their longest one of
the season, and for another j
it makes them feel there is j
some hope ahead. ' !
The 39 - year - old Hodges j
wasn't kidding about a come-1
back. He had been taking ;
longer and longer batting ;
practice sessions lately. ;
'We sure can use some
base hits," said the Washing
ton manager.
Get Victory
The Senators didn t exact
ly break down the fences Fri
day night but they did clip
loser Dan Osinskl and Julio
Navarro for nine hits in
stretching their modest win
ning streak to four games
with a 5-1 victory over the
Los Angeles Angels.
Jim King's 14th home run
gave Washington a 1-0 lead
in the first inning, and after
Los Angeles tied the score in
the seventh, little Don Zim-
mer singled home the tie-
breaking run during a three
run rally in the bottom of the
frame.
Don Rudolph, who has
pitched some fine ball in los
ing nine games so far, slopped
the Angels on seven hits for
his fourth win.
Dcug Ford Birdies
For Canadian Win
Toronto. Ont. (UPD - Vet
eran Doug Ford of New York
birdied the 17th hole with
a 16-foot putt Saturday for
a one-under-par 70 and a one
stroke victory in the $50,000
Canadian Open Golf Cham
pionship. Ford, the 1959 champion,
came home with a four-under
par 280 for 72 holes as fel
low American pro Al Geiberg
er sat in the club house and
waited with a 281 after shoot
ing a final round six-under
65. The best score of the tour
nament. Ford led by two strokes
going into Saturday's round
but bogcyed three holes and
birdied three after 13. He
then bogeyed the 14th to fall
into a tie with Geiberger.
But Geiberger's chances
disappeared when Ford sank
a 16 - footer 'on the 17th hole
and just missed a bird on the
18th when his four footer
rimmed the cup. The 40-year
old Ford captured $9,000 first
place money with his first
tournament victory of the
year. .
Geiberger earned $4,600 tor
his second place finish. Three
players, George Bayer, Fred
Hawkins and Bruce Cramp
ton, tied for third at 282. Bob
Rosburg was alone in fourth
at 283 and three were group
ed at even par 284, Canadhn
George Knudson, Herman
Keiser and Den Kcefc.
Ford had held a two-stroke
lead over Keiser and Jack
Fleck going into the final
round but Keiser went one
over with a 72 and Fleck fell
back with a 75 over the rug

ged par 71, 6738-yard Scar
boro course.
. It was the highest winining
total since Pat Fletcher's 280
in 1954 and gave proof that
the layout was one of the
most difficult in Canadian
Open history.
Several players made a run
at Ford in the pressure-packed
final round and a gallery
of 10,000 was sure it would
be treated to a sudden death
playoff. Crampton and Gei
berger charged from behind
and each tied with Ford at
one point.
Both trailed Ford by six
strokes at the end of 54 holes.
Crampton closed in with a
five-under-front nine 31 while
Geiberger d i s p 1 ayed his
strength coming home. He
birdied three holes and eag
led another in the home
stretch for a backside five

His eagle came on the 455
yard par four 12th hole when
he sank a 180-yard five iron
shot. He had seven one-put
holes and missed only two
greens all day.
Ford, whose last PGA tour
was in the 1963 Eastern Open,
had an unspectacular 32 putts

once. He said later he had

knew Geiberger was even

Pod res Out
Of All-Star
Team Play
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
Lefty Johnny Podres show
ed three All-Star pitchers how
it should be done, although he
does not plan to be in Cleve
land on Tuesday.
The reason he won't be
there is simple. He wasn't
chosen to the National league
AK-Star team by manager Al
vin Dark.
But he certainly looked as
if he should have been Friday
night when he beat one All
Star pitcher and earned a
richly deserved "well done"
from two others in leading
the Los Angeles Dodgers to a
two-hit 1-0 victory over the
Cincinnati Reds.
Podres bested left-hander
Jim O'Toole, one of eight
pitchers chosen for the NL
All-Star team by Dark. And
he also bettered the two most
recent performances of his
All-Star teammates, Sandy
Koufax and Don Drysdale.
Koufax blanked the Cardi
nals on three hits last Wed
nesday night and Drysdale
also whitewashed St. Louis on
five hits Tuesday night but
Podres was sharper than both
in pitching the Dodgers to
their fifth straight victory
while increasing their league
lead to three games.
Howard Homers
Provided with the only run
he needed when Frank How
ard hammered his 13th homer
in the seventh inning, Podres
struck out four batters and
did not walk a man en route
to his sixth triumph.
