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.

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

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."

Wenatchee fans were singing the
financial blues Wednesday as a
mounting debt threatened to force
the community-owned club to give
up lti western International
League franchise.
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. The Wenatchee -club has been
conducting a drive lor $10 con-
tribi.tlons to raise 95.000 for im-

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.

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.
