Giants, Pirates Split Double
Bill; McCovey Whams 28th
WEDNESDAY. JULY 17. 1963
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sports Writ.r
Willie McCovey li closing
in on a National league home
run record and there'll be no
asterisk alongside his name if
he makes it.
The free-swinging San Fran
cisco Giant outfielder hit his
27th and 28th homers of the
season Tuesday night when
the Giants split a pair of 3-2
decisions with the Pittsburgh
Pirates. The two blows gave
him a total of 10 for the
month - only six fewer than
the NL mark set in 1949 by
Ralph Kiner of the Pirates.
Kiner's mark doesn't have
the prestige of Babe Ruth's
60 in 1927 so there won't be
any national uproar to disturb
Willie's comic - book reading.
Baseball's poobahs put an as
terisk alongside Roger Maris'
name when he hit 61 homers
In 1961 on the grounds the
season was longer than when
Ruth set his record in 1927.
But as far as anyone knows
nobody in baseball has sug
gested that the month of July
is longer now than it used to
be.
It only seems longer to NL
pitchers, who have been cop
ing with McCovey during his
current rampage. The big guy
has hammered away at a .323
clip since June 30 and has
lifted his season average to
.281.
Homer Wen Gam
McCovey's 27th homer came
In the ninth inning of Tues
day night's opener and gave
the Giants their victory. Wil
lie also homered in the first
inning of the nightcap and
had a second hit during the
game but the Pirates earned
the split on the strength of a
nine-hit attack that included
two triples by Dick Schofield,
one by Bill Virdon and dou
bles by Roberto Clemente and
Bill Mazeroski.
McCovey has now hit safely
in 21 straight games during
which he has hit 14 homers
and drove in 24 runs.
The Los Angeles Dodgers
beat the Philadelphia Phillies,
5-2, before suffering a 10-2
loss, the St. Louis Cardinals
nipped the Cincinnati Reds,
5-4, in 10 innings, the Chicago
Cubs defeated the Milwaukee
Braves, 1-0, and the New York
Mets topped the Houston
Colts, 4-3, in other NL games.

Sternberg Still
On Critical
Seattle -IUPD- Pole vaulter
. Brian Sternberg's overall con
dition remained critical today,
following surgery for the re
moval of a cervical disc dam
aged in a trampoline fall
which left the University of
Washington athlete paralyzed.
Sternberg underwent a
five-hour operation at Univer
sity Hospital Tuesday in the
hope that removal of the disc
would speed his recovery
from paralysis.
The hospital's medical di
rector, Dr. William Robert
son, said it would be about
two weeks before any new in
formation would be available
as to Sternberg's chances of
recovery.
Robertson said Sternberg
came through the operation
without any apparent compli
cations. Sternberg suffered a dislo
cated cervical vertebrae brok
en neck July 2 while working
out on a trampoline to keep
in shape for a trip to Europe
with a United States track
team.

Cubs' Attendance Is Up,
ButClub May Lose Money
Chicago (UPD The Chicago
Cubs' 53 per cent increase in
attendance so far this season
may be good for morale, but
doesn't guarantee a money
making season for the team.
President Philip K. Wrigley
said today.
In fact the attendance in
crease, 171,324 for 42 dates,
hasn't boosted the Cubs' total
attendance as high as it was
at the same point three sea
sons ago when the team fin
ished seventh.
"I don't know whether we
will make money or not,"
Wrigley said. "It all depends

Ex-Pro Named
To Position
Spokane, Wash. (UPD Bill
Folk, 36, a Regina, Sask.,
businessman who once played
professional hockey in Spo
kane, Tuesday was named gen
eral manager of the new Spo
kane Jets of the amateur West
ern International Hockey
league.
Folk played with the now
defunct Spokane Comets of
the Western Hockey league in
1960 and 1961. He retired
from active play when he was
stricken with a heart attack
in the second game of the
1961 season.
on our team replacement cost.
Really I couldn't estimate how
we u come out until we sit
down with the auditors at the
end of the year and see what
came in and what we spent."
Wrigley said that the
amount of money spent in
bonus players was an impor
tant factor in determining
whether the team shows a
profit, but he also pointed out
bookkeeping could have an ef
fect too.
"When you sit down with
the auditors at the end of the
year and decide what can be
carried over and what can be
charged off, you can make the
books come out pretty much
as you want. I remember my
father used to say that 'figures
don't lie, but liars figure'."
Wrigley credited the Cubs
success at the gate this year
strictly to its improved won
and lost record. The team, in
the first division, has pulled
492,210 paid fans this season
compared to 320,886 in 42
dates last year.
But only three years ago,
for the same number of dates,
the club had attendance of
544,691, and wound up pull
ing nearly a million fans. ,

Relief Pitching 'Weil Done'
As Orioles Drop Tigers, 5-2
United Press International
What Bre the odds that Dick
Radatz, the Boston monster
who terrifies American league
hitters, would be challenged
by a pitcher who was once
blown off the mound by a gust
of wind?
You name "em and you've
got the odds against Stu
Miller, a 160 -pound chap
whose hobby is contract
bridge, being in the big
leagues in the first place. Yet
the ex-San Francisco Giant
right-hander is doing a bril
liant job of relief pitching in
his own right and is the key
reason the Baltimore Orioles
are still within shouting dis
tance of the American league
lead.
Miller, whose equipment is
described by hitters as "slow,
slower and let's not get ri
diculous," has been the close
out pitcher in the Orioles' last
seven victories dating back to
July 5. He's been the official
winner in only one of those
games and his season record
is a mere 3-4 but that only
proves that records don't al
ways tell the real story.
Preserved Victory
Miller - he was "blown" off
the mound by a sudden gust
of wind during the 1961 All
Star game in San Francisco
turned in a typical clutch re
lief job Tuesday night to pre
serve the Orioles' 5-2 win
over the Detroit Tigers. The
win moved the 'Orioles to
within 6' j games of the first
place New York Yankees,
who were rained out in Min
nesota. The Los Angeles Angels
shaded the Cleveland Indians
2-1, the Washington Senators
downed the Chicago White
Sox, 3-1. and the Kansas City
Athletics routed the Boston
Red Sox, 11-0, in other AL
action.

Cepeda Lawyer
Plans Appeal
In 'Look' Case
San Francisco-rtlPD-Orlando
Cepeda's attorney made plans
Tuesday for appealing the
big slugger's $1 million libel
suit which never got to first
base in federal court.
U.S. Distict Court Judge
Lloyd H. Burke dismissed Ce
peda's complaint against Look
Magazine Monday, saying that
the article in question was
"somewhat innocuous al
though in some areas it may
not have been as flattering as
the subject would have lik
ed." The San Francisco Giants
first baseman filed suit fol
lowing publication of the
piece on May 21.
Marvin Lewis, his attorney
who is appealing the ruling,
charged that the article quot
ed Giants' President Horace
Stoneham and other mem
bers of the front office mak
ing derogatory statements
that they did not make.
Lewis added that this in
jured Cepeda's value as trad
ing material.
Charles Kenady, the mag
azine's attorney, said that the
article was fair comment up
on Cepeda's activity as a base
ball player and not defamatory.

Rozelle Halts
Gambling Probe
New York - iliPH - Pete Ro
zelle, commissioner of the
National Football league, ap
parently has concluded the
current phase of his investi
gation of gambling on NFL
games.
Rozelle admitted Tuesday
"no other pressing matters"
are being probed after he
cleared Carroll Rosenbloom,
millionaire owner of the Bal
timore Colts, of all charges
that he bet on pro football
games.
The commissioner added,
however, that "this matter of
surveillance is a constant pro
cedure." Rosenbloom had been ac
cused by three individuals of
betting on pro football games
during a period of eight to 10
years ago.
"All three of the accusers
making the original charges
against Mr. Rosenbloom . . .
subsequently repudiated or
withdrew their earlier charges
in new affidavits given to the
commissioner," Rozelle said
in a prepared statement.
The commissioner added
that the league's investigation
staff "conducted extensive in
quiries" into Rosenbloom's al
leged gambling activities and
"no proof whatever has been
uncovered that he ever bet
on a National Football league
game since becoming an own
er in the league.
Rozelle's probe into NFL
gambling reports was launch
ed last year. Last April he sus
pended indefinitly Paul Horn-
ung of the Green Bay Packers
and Alex Karras or. ine ue
troit Lions for betting on
games and levied fines against
five other players and the De
troit club.
Few Changes
Made in Bird
Hunting Rules I
Portland-itl'li - The State
Game commission made few!
changes in 1963 hunting reg-i
illations for doves, pigeons,
grouse, chukar and Hungar- j
ian partridge at a meeting t
Tuesday.
The bag limit on chukars
and Huns was increased from
six to eight daily and from
12 to 16 in possession. The
season will open Sept. 7 and
close at a date to be set
later.
The season on mourning
doves and band-tailed pigeons
will be Sept. 1-30. Bag limit
for pigeons will be eight daily
and the same number in pos
session. The bag limit on
doves is 10 daily and 20 in

The season on blue and
ruffed grouse will be Sept.

Sept. 1-7 west of the Cas
cades. Bag limit again will
be three daily and six in pos
session. The commission eliminated
sage grouse hunting in Lake
county this year and cut the
bag limit to two daily and
two in possession. It had been
two and four, but wildlife of
ficials said the number of
birds was lower this season.
Hunting will be allowed in
Harney county and that part
of Malheur south of U.S.
Highway 30.
The commission also set the
hunting season for silver grey
squirrels Sept. 1-Oct. 31 in

Newspaper Advertising
. . . It's Not an Intrusion!
People really want newspaper advertising and 'have said so. Surveys
usually show well over 80 in favor of newspaper advertising; less than
70 for magazines; and under 40 in favor of advertising on radio and TV.
Your advertising's first job is to win a friendly feeling for your product.
It stands to reason you will win more friends by running your advertising
where most people want it.
If you want to sell more people you have to reach them when they are
receptive. Newspapers reach more of the most receptive people.
