KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN , f Si ' V PERSONALITY AND THE KIDS weight crown this Friday, August 20, smiles his way into the training camp with the aid of a flock of kids and Jack Kearns, who is helping manage the challenger for the San Francisco bout. Castellani Under Title Bout With By HARRY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor SAN FRANCISCO (NEA) It must seem strange to Rocky Cas tellani. Here he is ready for a crack at Bobo Olson and the world middle weight champion ship and nothing has gone wrong yet. , In fact, it Is the other way around. Everything seems to be gliding along at table-top smooth ness for the square-shouldered Cas- His 'manager, Al Nalman, can t seem to spend enough money. It was Nalman's $125,000 guarantee to Olson which insured, the match. Old Jack Kearns showed the Cleve land wrecking company owner how to do business quickly and was brought in as an advisor. The match has been given a on of publicity. The B"wrvs adJ .. ,.;tnrr rnmOS YOU eVei nnesi, u""u saw.

I For NEW YORK LP-Hc s nol quite so confident as he was back arouno the All-Star Game, but Manager V.i n, nurncher of the New York Giants has not exactly j counted his club out of the Na- tional League race. I know we've lost that fat cush ion we had." he sighed today as he prepared to send the Omnls against the Philadelphia Phillies -But the fact is we're still in fioiit and we've got as good a chance as anybody. It's really a new sea son with some 40 games to go. Durocher was glad to see the Phillies arrive last night, especial ly since he was unlikely to see their ace. Robin Roberts, who tamed the Brooklyn Dodgers Sun dav The Phillies have been as easy as pie lor the Giants and last night's 8-3 triumph was their sixth in a row over them The Lip has been criticized from cvervone right up to his own front office for changing the lineup around too much, but as he said: "We've got to get some runs. Therefore Ray Katt will be our catcher from now on. Bobby Hoi man iwho got three-for-four and knocked in four runsi will not slay on first base. Whitey Lockman is mv first baseman." That means that Wes Westrum, whose batting average is an ane mic .196. goes back to the bench the spot he was consigned to be fore the season opened, and Hoi man to his pinch-hitting chores. "I Just wanted Lockman to take it easv for a few days." said Du rocher. "I told him I wanted him to take a complete rest and nol play any ball. Also. Henry Thomp son will be back at third base."

Otherwise, he clinches when cornered or hit with reasonable force. The latter move, by the way. is the only reason why Castellani has not been bombed out more than the two times it has happened in eight years. He has a China-type chin, but hangs on fiercely until recouped when belted solidly. Against Olson, the methodical thi ee-minute-a-round man, Castel lani will experience difficulty mak ing those tactics work. The sun tanned young man from Honolulu is a concerted and hurling, if no', a devastating, puncher.

Their troubles are identical to those that earlier this season caused Spokane, Calgary and Vic toria to drop out of the Class A circuit too few customers, too few dollars and, m Wenatchee's case, too lew victories. In order to keep their club in operation. Wenatchee fans Tues day started a door-to-door cam paign to help raise funds. Presl dent Boh Tyler said the Chiefs now are 16.800 In the red and pro'jfibly will be more than SU, GCO behind by the end of this sea ton.

Pirate Pans Still Hope For ML Flag PITTSBURGH l There's no pennant talk buzzing In the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates today but ihe loyal fans who have insisted Oeneral manager Branch Rickey will produce a winner a:e burst ing at the scams. The Pirates are in last place In Ihe National League but 20,103 lans turned out last night to watch them spot the Brooklyn Dodgers two runs in the first inning, then come through with a 4-2 victory No-Hitter Thrown By Beaver By THE ASSOCIATED TRESS A no-hit pitching performance by Portland's Bob Alexander Tues day night overshadowed the battle lor Ilrst place in the Pacific Coast League. The 32-year-old righthander ac comDlished the feat as the Beavers defeated Oakland, 3-0. in the seven inning opener of their doublehead er. The Oaks took the second con test, 3-0. Alexander struck out 10 and on ly one Acorn batter got past Ilrst base. It was the first no hitter in Portland since Tommy Bridges turned In one in nine Innings in 1947. In 1940. Ad Llska of Port- land pitched a no-hitter in seven Innings. Portland won the game in the fourth inning on consecutive dou bles by Walt Judnich and Rocky Krsnich and a single by Granny Gladstone. Jim Marshall. Oakland first baseman, accounted for the sec. ond-game runs with a home run with two aboard. George Bamber ger and Al Oettel scattered six hits. Seattle's bid to move into the first division gained momentum as Ihe Ralniers swept a doubleheader from Los Angeles. Seattle scored live runs and bat ted out Bubba Church in the first inning and whipped Los Angeles in Ihe first game. 6-4. Then the Rain iers scored five in the eighth to also win the second game 10-7. In that ding-dong battle lor tirst place, San Diego's Padres climbed within a half game of the slipping Hollywood Stars. The Padres outlasted the tough Pan Francisco seals In 8eals Sta dium and won by a 4-3 score in 13 Innings. San Francisco has been the hardest hurdle for San Diego to get by and Tuesday night was no exception. Big Luke Easter, Ban Diego first baseman who haa been rapping the fences since he Joined the team late this season, bunted home the winning run off Adrian Zabala who hnd just relieved Eddie Chandler. Al Lyons, durable right nander. who doubles In the outfield when he isn't on the mound, was the winning pitcher. Lyons relieved starter Ed Eruatt in the 12th after San Fian Cisco had filled the sacks with none out. He set the Seals down, one. two. three. Al Federoff and Milt Smith started the 13th for San Diego with successive sinslcs. Easter s bunt scored Federoff. Hollywood lost its second straight to Sacramento, 5-1. and continued to look inept at the plate. Truth of the matter Is that the Stars ereatly miss the suspended Carlo Bernier and the Injured Dale Long. They aren't getting the hits In the clutch and they aren't getting Ihe long ball that Long supplied. Einil Patrick, who had won only two games all season, shackled Ihe Stars for eight Innings and had a shutout until the ninth, when a muff of a fly ball prolonged the game and the Stars set about fill ing the bases, pushing across one run, Patrick was yanked and Mi lo Candlnl came in and whiffed Jack Phillips, who swung at a third strike that was about two feet wide of the plate.

Rnlph Rosettl, Billy Faulkner and Louie Wanninger began playing at 4:45 a m. and quit at 6 p.m. after five 18 - hole tours of the 5.212 yard course plus 11 additional holes. One eagle and 13 birdies were scored by the .'our one. I for their fifth consecutive win. The crowd was the largest to watch a night home game this year. The five-game, winning streak is the longest since Rickey took charge of the Pirates In 1951. The Pirates now have won nine of their last 11 games tops since 1949 for them. The victory over the Dodgers was only the third In 13 meetings wilh the club tins season. But it was enough to send the long-suffering Pirate tans home in good spi rits. Manngcr Fred Haney took the vic tory in stride. He isn't predicting even whether his club will get out of the cellar spot It has occupied most of the season. "We're Just a relaxed ball club," he said. "We're not making so many mistakes. We're getting hits when they count and coming through with double plays at the right time. We've got a great bunch of. kids. We'll ultimately field a team that will make Mr. Rickey and the fans completely nappy." Dodger Manager Walt Alston, somewhat dour over dropping two full games back of the pace-setting new York Giants, commented: "There's no question the Pirates are a young and hustling ball club. They've Improved since I last saw them. They'll Improve more. 1 Betore last night's game John Galbreath, multimillionaire presi dent of the club, announced that he, Rickey, Vice president Tom Johnson and two members of Gal breath's family have put more money into the club. He didn't di vulge the amount but It was esti mated at $250,000. The olub finished seventh In 1951 Rickey's first year at the helm. It was last in 1952 and 1963. Al Abrams. sports editor of the Pitts burgh Post Oasette. speculated Ihe Pirates have dropped around $1,850,000 since Rickev took over. Rickey. 72. said recently he Is quitting as general manager when his five-year contract expires next November. Galbreath said he would like to have him continue, instead of serv ing In advisory capacity as he plans. Rickey didn't comment on Gal- breath's expression of confidence. And he didn't have a word to say on me riraie winning streak. Red Sox Ace Ouifielder Injures Arm BOSTON I Boston Red Sox outfielder Jimmy Plersall hustled back from Washington today for examination of his throwing arm. apparently injured by m throw to the plate In Monday night's ex hibition game with the New York Giants. Plersall was out of the lineup last night as the Red Sox beat Wash ington 4-3. He took a few pregame throws and reported that "the arm hurts like biases." ' He said, "I don't know what It 13, but It feels that I've pulled something. I couldnt throw the ball across a room."
