Groza, who has been with the Browns since their inception, has re portedly been "very sharp" since he took off eight pounds before camp started. Dodgers, Cards Both Lose; Idle Giants Now 5 Behind United Press International Lindy McDaniel received credit for his eighth victory of the year and Ron Santo hit two homers, including a de cisive 10th -inning blow, Thursday when the Chicago Cubs slowed the Los Angeles Dodgers' pennant march with a 5-4 triumph. Both of Santo's homers Thursday were off Larry Sherry-No. 19 tying the score in the fifth inning and No. 20 breaking up the game in the 10th. Al Ferrara, Frank How ard and Bill Skowron hom ered for the Dodgers who now lead the second-place San Francisco Giants by 5',i games. The Giants were idle Thurs day but the New York Mcts beat the Cardinals, 3-2, the Cincinnati Reds downed the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, and the Pittsburgh Pirates de feated the Milwaukee Braves, 1-0, in other NL action. Al Jackson ended a seven- game personal losing streak and won his seventh game for the Mels on the wings of Duke Carmel's eighth-inning homer off ex - teammate Bobby After three years of fail ure, Peters finally won his first big league game on May 6 this year' and since then has worked in the While Sox's regular rotation. He scored his sixth straight vic tory Thursday night when the Sox beat the Kansas Cily Ath letics, 5-3, and he shapes up now as a 16-to-lH game win ner. The victory enabled the White Sox to remain eight games behind the runaway New York Yankees, who beat the Washington Senntors, 3-1, in an afternoon game. The Minnesota Twins whipped the Los Angeles Angels, 3-0, the Cleveland Indians downed the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, and the Detroit Tigers nipped the Bost Red Sox, 6-5, in other AL games. Ralph Terry pitched a six hitter to win his 13th game behind a 13-hit Yankee at tack that included two hits each by Tom Tressh and Phil Llnz, struck out five and was never in serious trouble. The third - place Twins swept to their seventh vic tory in eight games behind the six-hit pitching of Dick Stigman, who raised his sea son record to 12-10. Vic Pow er had three hits and Rich Rollins and Zoilo Versalles two each to lead the Twins' nine-hit attack. Paul Foy tack suffered his fifth loss against four wins. Old fashioned baseball was the name nf the game at Baltimore as Dick Donovan pitched a three hitler and Joe Azcue stole home in the seventh inning for the Indi ans. Donovan allowed only one Oriole to reach second base and faced only 20 men during the game. Rock Colavilo's ,1H0 - foot single past a drawn-in Boston outfield drove in the winning run for the Tigers, who brat relief ace Dick Radnlz for the second time in two days and saddled him with his fourth loss against 12 victories.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank OeVois Sportsmen in several sec tions of the country are be. coming concerned about the linking of national wildlife refuges with comprehensive plans for outdoor recreation according to the Wildlife Man agement Institute. Recent rec. reation-area documents of the Department of the Interior, key outdoor recreation plan ning agency, appear to be built around two outstanding national wildlife refuges Chincoteague in Virginia and Kentucky Woodlands. PEOPLE. NO Basis for lh sporiimen's apprehension is the certain knowledge that wildlife ref ugea cannot support mass rec reation without destruction of the natural yalues for which they were established. The incompatibility of beach bug gies and hordes of hikers, swimmers, picnickers, and surf fishermen, for example, already has been demonstrat ed at the Parker River Na tional Wildlife Refuge in Mas sachusetts. Human intrusion into the dune and surf habitat has virtually eliminated the once-great colonies of beach nesting birds that were found there. PEOPLE, YES In its recreation study, "As- saleague Island and Vicinity," the Interior department ap parently contemplates the same kind of mass recreation al use of the approximately nine miles of wilderness beach of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge as it does for the 33 miles of connecting beach in Maryland that would be taken for the Assateague Island National seashore. As first printed, the study report also showed a highway ex tending the length of the nar row wildlife refuge. WILDLIFE, NO In a second announcement, the Interior department re cently told of a new Tennessee Valley Authority program to develop a large Between-the-Rivers Recreation Demonstra tion area in Kentucky and Tennessee. Heart of the area is the 65,690 acre Kentucky Woodlands National Wildlife refuge, an important Canada goose and duck habitat, that contains attractive water and associated land areas. It ap pears that the refuge will lose its identity and be absorbed entirely into the recreation area, whose purpose is to show how local economies can be improved through provi sion of recreation facilities and opportunities. IT'S A STEAL In addition to their being established to protect wildlife, refuges have been acquired, wholely or in part, with rev enues derived from the sale of Duck Stamps to hunters. In fact, it was the sportsmen's idea to have a Duck Stamp back in 1934 that gave the national wildlife refuge pro gram much needed financial support. In 1962, Congress gave the secretary of the interior au thority to limit public recre ation on the wildlife refuges "to the extent that such use is compatible with the pri mary purposes of such areas." In 11 places that law makes clear that recreation is in tended as an "incidental or secondary use" when and whera it does not interfere with wildlife protection ob jectives. LOOK OUT1 Assateague Island and Be-twecn-the-Rivers Recreation area are not the only national wildlife refuges under consid eration. The wilderness beach es of such other national wild life refuges as Back Bay, Vir ginia; Swan Quarter, North Carolina; Cape Romain, South Carolina; St. Marks, Florida, and Aranses and the Laguna Atascose, Texas, also may be involved in future considera tions. THE ANGLER'S LOO Reports from the coast are somewhat conflicting In that the usual pattern of luck is 3 always evident. Be that as it may, there are large schools of silvers out there and the Chinook are becoming more and more available. Good re ports are coming out of Cres cent City, and on up the coast the various harbors are re porting limits caught within a couple of hours. ADD Woods. Water, etc std Diamond Lake There are plenty nf fish remaining to be caught and the majority of them are being taken by the stilKishermen. Ex ceptional luck has been had for the past several days by those arming a reo and white F7 flat fish. Fly fishing has been slow. Fish Lake Several limits have been taken every day. The largest fish are being taken on bait, but ine iisnermen interested in auan- tlty can accomplish his end by ironing, rne rainbow seem par tial to lures. Howard Prairie The pattern Is remaining about the same aa last week. Stlllfishermen in the chan nel are taking bigger fish throughout the day.

Hyatt Lake Fishing is about ine same in inat there are some beautiful, big fish being taken every day by the stillflshermen tied to the snags. Loose fishermen are taking some by trolling with the usuaT. Klamath Lake The big fish are starting to come in. Warren Ba ker of Odessa Creek took an 11 Eounder on FF&W the 29th.

Only by a balanced use of these resources can we hope to make them last through the tremendous pres sures of population that seem to be coming. Too many peo ple nave no values.

"Did you and the plaintiff in this case, Wallace Butts, throw, fix or rig this game, as charged by the Saturday Evening Post?" Bryant was asked. Bryant sat bolt upright and frowned. "Absolutely not," he an swered, "and if we did we ought to go to jail, and the persons involved should be put in jail because we didn't. Taking their money is not good enough."

Sued The Post Butts sued the Post for say ing in an article last spring that he gave key secrets about his own school's football team to Bryant, successful coach of Alabama's Crimson Tide. The trial was in its fifth day today with a short session planned before a week end recess. The crux of the magazine story is the report by an At lanta insurance man, George Burnett, that he accidentally overheard, by an electronic error, a telephone conversa tion last fall prior to the Alabama-Georgia game, Butts give the plays to Bryant. Bryant said Thursday he doesn't remember whether he received such a call last Sept. 13 or not. But he said in answer to questions by Butts' attorney, William Schroder, that he had had numerous telephone con versations with Butts. Denied Giving Information Schroder asked Bryant if Butts had given him any in formation "relating to the plays, formations or defense to be used by Georgia in any football game with the Uni versity of Alabama." "Absolutely not," Bryant answered. Schroder put Bryant on the stand Thursday instead of call ing Butts as he had announc ed. He said he may ask Butts to testify today "if he gets a good night's rest and his blood pressure doesn't give him trouble." He also planned to put All America Charlie Trippi and Leroy Jordan on the stand when court resumes Monday. Trippi is a former assistant coach at Georgia.
