Bob Perry Bats Hawaii To PCL Win; Portland Divides United Presi International Bob Perry's all-expense trip to Hawaii may be a short one, if the outfielder continues his neavy .bombardment of Pa cific Coast league pitching. The Los Angeles Angels, going nowhere in the Ameri can league, sent Perry down to Hawaii in a seven-player shuffle early this month. Perry responded Tuesday night by whacking two ho mers to lead the Islanders past Seattle 7-4. Elsewhere around the far flung PCL Tuesday night, Spokane continued its hot pace with Tacoma hanging tough in second place in their two team Northern Division struggle. The Southern loop tightened up a trifle. Spokane fell behind Denver 3-0 after one inning, then marched to a 16-4 massacre of the Bears. Big John Pregen zer's relief artistry brought Tacoma a 9-7 win over Salt Lake City to keep the Giants four games back. Oklahoma City split a twin bill with Portland, 8-7 and 4-2. Dallas Tort Worth closed to within Cowan Tops PCL Batters With .339 Mark San Mateo, Calf. (UPD $illy Cowan of Salt Lake City topped Pacific Coast league batters in games through Sun day with a helfty .339 aver age. A minnimum of 328 plate appearance was needed to qualify, but Denver's Lou Klimchock appeared ready to make a late - season run at Cowan. He is hitting .338 for 296 at bats. Denver's Cesar Tovar led in doubles with 34 and runs scored with 79. Al Ferrara of Spokane had 87 runs batted in and Deron Johnson of San Diego was back in the hom er lead with 24. . Other PCL kings included Chico Ruiz of San Diego with 33 stolen bases and Ethan Blackaby of Denver with 9 triples. Among pitchers, Spokane's Howie Reed led regular hurl ers with a 2.61 earned run average. Ron Herbel's 12 wins led that department, al though Reed also won number 12 earlier this week. Aurelio Monteagudo's 140 strikeouts and Bill Spans wick of Seattle's 65 walks were also league highs. C Phone 772-4534 J I LIVE LIVELIER ! Summer moke you sluggish?

Perry and Bobby Knoop were almost the whole show at Honolulu as Perry drove in four runs and Knoop also hit a homer and had two runs batted in. Both men had four hits. Jim McGlothlin picked up the win, but owed most of his success to relief ace Bob Du liba who pitched 3 hitless innings. Joe Moeller looked as though he might not last long at Denver when J. W. Porter, filling in for injured catcher Bob Uecker, clouted a 3-run homer. But Moeller, now 10-9, was still going strong at the end while four Denver hurlers were bombed for 19 hits by the Spokane sluggers. Jim Barbieri paced the Indian hit ters with two doubles, three singles and a walk. The game was delayed 90 minutes by rain. Unfortu nately for Denver, the contest then started. The third of the Alou broth ers may soon be joining the siblings on the San Francisco Giants. Jesus Alou has brought his average up some ju points in recent days and Tuesday night contributed a two-run single in the eighth inning uprising that gave the Giants a win over Salt Lake. Cap Peterson. Paul Smith and Alou led a 15-hit barrage. salt Lake hit less but made them count almost as well as they pulled ahead 5-3, then College Stars' Problem: Too Many Good QBs Evanston, I11.-(UPD - Coach Otto Graham of the College All-Stars said Tuesday night he is having trouble picking his starting quarterback for the Aug. 2 meeting with the Green Bay Packers in Chi cago's Soldier Field. "They're all good," Gra ham said. The four quarterbacks are Terry Baker, Oregon State; Ron Vander Kellen, Wiscon sin; Glynn Griffing, Mississip pi, and Sonny Gibbs, Texas Christian. The perennial All-Star foot ball coach said it was "too early" to decide which one of the four would be on the field at the start of the big game. ' Actually we have one too many quarterbacks it cre ates a problem. No one quart erback is head and shoulders above the others they're all good. Graham said if two or more of his field generals were "about even" before the game, "I might even toss a coin." The always-optimistic Gra ham said, "we expect to give them the Packers one heck of a battle and with a little luck we can win." Ms tied it up 6-6 in the sixth. But Big John Pregenzer came in about that time to subdue the Salt Lake cuub while Alou and pinchhitter Don Giles' eighth inning slugging put Tacoma ahead to stay. Both Oklahoma City-Portland games were 7-inning af fairs. Heavy hitting was contribu ted by Bob Boyd and Dan Murphy, who had five of the 89ers 10 hits and drove in five of their eight runs. The nightcap was all Port land as Monty Monteagudo tossed a three hitter. Mnn teagudo, the loop's leading strikeout artist, fanned eight and now has an 8-10 record -Heist's homer accounted for both 89er runs. The Beavers scored on a solo four master by Johnny Wojcik, a two-run single by Jim Hughes and doubles by Chet Boak and Dick Green Bob Baillargeon scattered six San Diego hits and Jay Ward chipped in with his 15th homer to highlight the struggle at Dallas. Tony Oliva tripled and scored on a roller down the third base line to account for the other Ranger run. Baillargeon allowed only one man to get as far as third, while Ted Wills was the tough-luck loser. Linescores; (1st came, 7 innings) Okta. C 113 200 18 10 2 Portland 322 000 0 7 11 1 Glusti.

Medforbv SlPdDIffiTS Fanfare Las Vegas ,-IUPD- The world may sneer at Sonny Liston and, abhor his background, despite the fact that he is the heavyweight champion of the world. But to Father Edward Pat rick Murphy, a parish priest out of one of Denver's poorest districts, Liston is a "great man with a fine future." "If he lets me down, I'll be quite surprised," the short, husky, white - haired priest said in a low, even voice after Liston's second victory over Floyd Patterson. "Because this man has overcome more obstacles and difficulties than 90 per cent of us ever would be able to conquer. No one knows the heavy weight king and one-time con vict better than Father Mur phy. And his is not a blind, divine pardon for a man un changed.

MEDFORD, 1 mm a raiBuro By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Spoils Editor pion. I mean as a man who finally has fallen into good hands and daily is finding himself." Father Murphy works in a parish which is 80 per cent colored and this one-time ath lete from Omaha, who de pends greatly on sports to help his saving cause, spends much time in the juvenile courts and in the jails. "You must realize that it didn't start yesterday when a boy got into trouble," he pon dered. "It started for them years ago, just as it did for Liston. - In three years of being close to Liston, Father Mur phy has heard the champion's whole story: Born to abject poverty in a starved family of 25 children; set to pitching cotton by the time he could walk; never had a piece of meat or a glass of milk-"un-less he stole it from a cow" until he was 14 years old. Fears Being Repulsed "They tried to get him to go to school, but he was big ger than any of the rest of them," he mourned, "and they laughed at him. It bred in him a fear of being repulsed and always, even now, there is the question of whether he will be accepted. Just like the Irish once were treated in New York, or those with Ger man sounding names during war time." At 14 Liston went to St. Louis and, as Father Murphy puts it, "it was inevitable that he would fall into the wrong crowd." "He admits frankly and humbly that he made mis takes, serious ones," says this knowing little man. "But when he went to the peniten tiary Father Alois Stevens started him boxing. That was the start of a long trip out of the gutter in which he unfor tunately had been born. Truly Loves Children "This is a man who truly loves children," added Father Murphy. "If ho Is suspicious and withdrawn from adults It is only that he doesn't under stand them. This is a man with a fine IQ but he simply has not had the advantages or gained the flexibility which comes with education." But that, he holds, Is a sit uation with which Liston is learning to cope better and better each day. And Father Murphy believes that Liston now is stable enough that there will be no repetition of his previous indiscretions. The little priest had a heart attack last year and he smiles reflectively at Liston's advice. "He told me," he said, "to remember that every time you get belted you've got to learn to land on your feet." Father Murphy honestly be lieves that, at last, Charles (Sonny) Liston has done just that.
