OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Chicago Orioles Q Stand ln Flag Path Ilv MILTON RICHMAN I'nilfd Pres Sporli Writer The key to first place will be In the cellar toniRht In the keep ing of the last-place Baltimore Orioles. "Frankly. I don't give a hang vnetner cicveiana, unicago or New York wins the Pennant If we can't win It ourselves." says Balti more Manager Paul Richards. But tonight, anyway, Richards' Orioles will determine which club Khali lead the American League, Here's why: The White Sox arc a half-game out of first place but thev can take over the top rung by two per centage points u they sweep twl-night doublcheader with the lowly Orioles tonight. The pbcp setting Yankees, who meet the Ti- gcrs in a night game, can't do a thing about stopping Chicago even If they beat Detroit. Richards, who left the White Sox nt the end of last year to come to Baltimore, thinks Chicago "has the necessary pitching to win the pennant," but he doesn't intend to make It easy for his old ball club. TROUBLESOME The Orioles have given the White Sox as much, if not more, trouble than any other club In the league this season and Richards says there's liable to be a lot more Jn store for them. Marty Marlon, who succeeded Richards as White Sox manager, has nominated Virgil (Fire) Trucks and Sandy Consuegra for tonight's tell-tale twin-bill while Erv Palica and George Zuverink Will pitch for Baltimore. The Yankees, who Just swept tK.ee games In a row from the Orioles, will rest their hopes on fastballcr Bob Turley against Ti ger rookie Frank Lary. Cleveland, only game out of first place, will send southpaw strike out ace Herb Score against Prank Sullivan of Boston In another key night game while in the other American League contest, Alex Kellner of Kansas City is .sched uled to face Bob Porterfield of Washington. Over in the National League, where Brooklyn's lead has recent ly been shaved from 16 games to a "mere" 11, the Dodgers will find out how much good Monday's 90 minute batting drill did when they meet the Cubs. OFF-DAY All big league clubs enjoyed an oli-day Monday but Dodger Man ager Walter Alston, concerned by 9 losses in the last 13 games, put his charges through an hour and a half batting drill. Don Newcombe will go after his 19th victory for the fifth time to night against Bob Rush, who will be shooting for is 11th triumph. The Milwaukee Braves, who still entertain faint pennant hopes themselves, oppose Robin Roberts, the majors' only 20-game winner. At Philadelphia, with Lew Burd elte going for Charlie Grimm's second-place crew. In the other two National League night games, Willard Schmidt of the Cardinals was nominated to ro against southpaw Johnny An tonelli of the Giants, while Vein Law was the choice of the Pirates to face Art Fowler of the Red legs.

Records Show Bobo Has Lost Vital KO Blow By HAL WOOD I'nlted Press Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Has Carl (Bobo) Olsjn, the middle weight champ, lost his punch? "Positively not." says Sid Fla herty, the manager. But the records show that Olson has won his last four fights, ex clusive of the knockout by Archie Moore, by decisions: that he has knocked out only five opponents out of his last 15 fights. This compares with an over-all record of 30 knockouts scored In 71 bouts. TUNE-CP Olson meets Joey Giambra, the likable Buffalo, N.Y., battler here on Friday in a tune-up for the Sugar Ray Robinson title bout later this fall. "Bobo still has the knockout punch." says Flaherty, "but he hasn't been using it as much. You know, it Is important that he go the full 10 rounds some times. That's the way he gets in condi tion. He can do that with guys he figures to handle easily. "Of course, he can't lake any chances with Giambra. Joey is one of the greatest middleweighl-s in the world today. "This Is by all odds the toughest warm-up fight we've had." The records show that Giambra has knocked out 24 men in his 45 fights. He has 17 decisions. 3 de feats and a draw. While Olson was winning deci sions over the likes of Jimmy Martinez, Joey Maxim, Willie Vaughn and Ralph (Tiger) Jones in his last four outings. Giambra has piled up a knockout list al though against obviously weak op position. KAYOED THREE He put the sleeper on Andy An derson, Andy Watkins and Sher man Williams, and decisioned Jimmy Welsh o far this year. As a private in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood, Tex., he hasn't been able to campaign in the better ranks. But with victories over such men as Halo Scorlichinl. Danny Womber and Joey Giardcllo. he has to rank, at the young age of 24, as one of the world's top mid- dleweights packing a kayo wal lop. Flaherty says Olson won't both' er to try and make this one lasi 10 rounds. "Bobo will have lo try and knock out Giambra any chance hp gets, from the first round on, says Flaherty. This bout, of course, will be fine chance for Olson to prove if he still has the knockout punch The Dalles Wins Jr. Legion Battle HASTINGS. Neb. 'fl A triple steal put The Dalles.

Broncs Beat Wenatchee In NWL Twin Bill. By T1IK ASSOCIATED PRESS The Leviston Broncs, battling desperately to get backinto the Northwest League pennant scram ble, bumped Wenatchee twice Mon day night, and regained third place in the standings. The twin victories, by 14-4 and 6-5 margins, put the Broncs a sin gle percentage point ahead of the Salem Senators, who split a pair at Tri-City. Both contenders are 4 ' j games back of the pace-setting Fugetie Emeralds, who were idle. The double loss dropped Wenat chee V'z games back. Salem beat Tri-City 5-1 in the seven-inning opener at Kennewicx, but the Braves bounced back to take the regulation nightcap, 4-2. Yakima outlasted Spokane, 7-5 in 10 innings, at Spokane. Lewiston pushed across five runs in- the eighth inning of the night cap to wind up its sweep of the double bill with Wenatchee. We- natchee led 5-1 when the Broncs came to bat. The- Broncs tucked away the abbreviated opener with a five-run outburst in the first in ning. Bob Ward went the distance for Yakima in the single game at Spokane, allowing six hits, and crossed the plate with the winning run In the 10th. Spokane manager Eddie Lake protested the game, contending the triple that scored Ward landed in foul territory. Lake was bounced and the Indians failed to score In their half of the inning. Three Tri-City errors set the stoho tor four Salem runs in the Third inninc of the first game at Kcnnewick. Gene Kanselll doubled in two with the game's only extra base blow. Dwayne Helbig'n fourth inning homer gave Tri-City the J , " for the Braves In the fifth.

"I figuro we re 13 games ahead, because that's tne Important side of the stand ings. "I still need some work 'to get in top snapc because of my knee Bu'. it doesn't bother me at all.

"I am sim ply awful and no one can tell ine the reason. Maybe that long batting practice I took yesterday will help.". i The Duke was out swinging for half an hour before the rest of the players showed up at Ebbets Field yesterday. He came away with blisters on his hands. Even Don Newcombe, who spends his time pinch hitting when he's not pitching, was disgusted. He went up three times over the past weekend and 'didn't come through. "I feel like quitting this busi ness," he said sadly, "and going back on a truck."
