A wheel from this Junk yard and a transmission from another wreck. You ask Paul Richards not using the word junk, of course about such as Jim Rivera, Johnny oroth, Sherman Lollar and the pitchers. Bob Kecgan, Don John son, Jack Harshman and Harry Dorish. All are guys who were not needed nor very much wanted else where. Yet, with Repairman Richards, they are making things enjoyable in Chicago and liie miserable in other parts. Someone spoke of the hitch in Rivera's swing. Hitch," h u m p h e d Professor Richards. "When a fellow with a hitch doesn't hit, its the hitch. When a fellow with a hitch hits, nothing is said about the hitch. The greatest of hitlers have had hitch es. Babe Ruth dropped his hands, then brought them up. practically took a roundhouse swing. And the Bam copied Shoeless Joe Jackson. Lou Gehrlng, Paul Waner and Rudy York had hitches to their swings. 'If Rivera bats as" he did in lift ing his average from .076 to .290 In two weeks, he can hitch all he pleases all afternoon or night, as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't the hitch at all that was killing Rivera. It was overstridlng. Hours of prac tice and instruction taught him not to." . How about Keegan, who kicked Bears Gam One Game On Vancouver .

The Bears, who must have an all-winning week to stay in con tention, opened it with an S - 5 victory over Wena tehee while Sa lem was turning back Vancouver -5. The combination reduced Van couver's margin to five games. Lewiston beat Victoria 6-3 in the league's other game. Tri-City and Edmonton were idle. Yakima and Vancouver have sev en games, including, face-to-face meetings ly 1-2-3, left on the schedule lor the first half which ends July S. The Yakima victory spoiled "Keep the Chiefs in Wena tehee Night" in the apple city. Wenat chee. like other clubs in the loop, has been having attendance trouble, and the management told the - fans their .turnout Monday night would determine the future of professional baseball there. Ticket windows were closed, and the fans were invited to make con tribution!. A capacity crowd of 2,800 was in the stands. Salem and Vancouver staged a wild slugfest t Vancouver. Van couver broke a 2-2 deadlock in the last of the eighth with a four run outburst but Salem came back with six tallies in the top of the ninth. Victoria outhit Lewiston IT 11 but left 16 men stranded as John Marshall righthanded his way to victory in the series - opener at Victoria. Marshal struck out eight.

"Johnson only had to convince himself that the stutf he had was adequate," elucidated Richards. "Harshman had to acquire a chanra of pace. Tills converted first baseman believed he could get good stuff throwing overhand, we showed him that he was better off using a three-quarter motion." Richards, the old catcher, says a pitcher should learn something in every game he ptiches. "It's a continuous process with the big pitcher." he pointed out. The unintelligent pitcher develops Just enough to remain on a payroll and quits workmg on it. Richards took Catcher Lollar from the Browns "because he was better than anybody we had. I knew he liked to learn. He learned to work with pitchers and is throw ing belter."

Bolt settled the Insurance City Open Golf Tournament 18-hole playoff in about 10 minutes yes terday. - Actually, the big New England sports event wound up In an anti climactic finish on the 18th, where Stewart conceded Just as a heavy shower came up. but what turned out to be the decisive action oc curred on the first hole. The battle for the 2.40O top money between these Texans hard ly was under way when Bolt sank a six-footer for a birdie, while Stewart, hurt by a slice off the tee and an erratic chip, holed out in 5. That gave Bolt a. two-stroke lead right away, a handicap which Stew art eventually cut into, but was never able to overcome. Bolt and Stewart blrdied the second, and Bolt gained a three-stroke advan tage with another birdie on' the third, his biggest margin of the day. His putter cooled off after that. however, and at the 18th tee. Stew art trailed by only one stroke. Probably because he was press ing too hard, Stewart's drive went out of bounds by 14 inches. He had to drive again, which counted as his third shot, and his approach landed on the edge of a trap. Meanwhile. Bolt, playing safe for his first major victory since win ning the Miami Beach four-ball with Dick Mayer last March, was on the green in two, with an easy par 4 in sight. Stewart pitched to ward the pin. realized the contest was over and conceded. Stewart, won 81,800, and with Bolt split half of the gate receipts yesterday, valued at about 81,000.

Hollywood starts a seven-game series Tuesday night in Portland, and the way the Beavers have been going II might be a line oppor tunity for the Stars to lengthen their margin over San Diego, which ties into Los Angeles.
