(UP) Versati lity and depth could be the key words to the fortunes ot the New York Giants this season. With a new manager. Bill (Idea-A-Minutei Rigney, and with a club that seems to be fired with base ball spirit, the Giants are thinking in terms of another "miracle" or destiny" team like tho.se that stirred the pulses of fans in win ning the 1951 and 1954 flags.

Jones' narrow victory over France's Charley Humez has re sulted in a shuffling of contend ers' positions in the middleweight division. Jones, the "spoiler" of the 160 pound class, was elevated from eighth to fifth place for snapping the European champion's unbeat en streak of 17, according to the copyrighted ratings released Wednesday by editor Nat Fleisch er of Ring Magazine. Humez was dropped from second tc third, changing places with Milo Savage of Salt Lake City. Ex champion Carl iBobol Olson re mained as top contender. Argen tina's Eduardo Lausse dropped from fifth to sixth to make way for the Tiger, 28-year old veteran from Yonkers, N.Y. Welterweight Carmen Basilio. who lost his title to Johnny Sax- ton of New York, was made the No. 1 contender followed by Tony DeMarco, another former cham pion. In the featherweight division. Brooklyn's Carmelo Costa and Hogan (Kid Bassey of Nigeria, re. versed berths with Bassey going up to second and Costa dropping to third. Willie Pep, the former champion, rejoined the top ten elite for the first time in two j ears. He was listed tenth. Raul (Raton) Macias, NBA-rec ognized bantamweight champion was boosted from third to second in the 118-pound class behind Italy's Mario d'Agata. Anoiher Mexican, flyweight Memo Diez, made the biggest ' leap of the month. He jumped from sixth to first on the strength of knockouts Billy Morris. Martin fell from over Young Martin, Spain, and first to fourth. Mounties Top j Portland 5-3 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS With a victory over Portland tinder their belts, the Vancouver Mountics tackled another north ern neighbor Wednesday as spring training continued in the Pacific Coast Baseball League. The Mounties were hosts to the Seattle Rainiers on the heels of Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the Rose City Beavers at Glendale. Calif. Seattle oulhit Hollywood 14-12 at Anaheim Tuesday but lost to the Stars. 8-7. Los Angeles beat UCLA 9-6. in another- exhibition game. Portland's Ed Mickclson went four-for-four. including two home runs, against the Mounties. His teammates picked up five more hits off Vancouver's Ernie Funk and Bill Kulpaca but couldn't con vert them into runs. Funk got credit for the victory. The lead see-sawed In the Seattle-Hollywood fracas and the Stars came out ahead in the final inning. Seattle started with two inns in the first inning but Holly wood came back with five in the second. The Rainiers tied it with one run in the third and two in the fourth and the Stars went e.ihcad with one in the fourth.

Onlv two pilots aren't claiming, by outright statement or direct in ference, that their heroes won't grab the gonfalon this season. Lou Boudreau ot Kansas uuy ana Bobby Bragan of Pittsburgh are the cautious souls. It's liable to get them run right out of the manager's union. Boudreau s plea is mat "we re thinking in terms of the future." Bragan couldn't be expected to look that far ahead. Still, he's also guilty of false illusions when he insists "We might finish as high as sixth." Here's the way the other "lirst place clubs" are rated by their eager pilots: AMERICAN LEAGUE "We got the power, pitching and speed," says Casey Stengel of the confident Yankees, seeking a sev enth flag in eight years. (Which sounds good.) No team rates ahead ot us in the overall picture," Insists Al Lo pez of Cleveland. "Outside of two spots, we're a mighty strong club all the way down the line." argues Bucky Harris of Detroit. "All we've got to do is find a fourth starting pitcher," explains Martv Marion of the White sox, who predicted a pennant last year and is a bit cautious after winding up third. . "In the last six weeks of last season we were a first division ball club.'" intimates Paul Rich ards of Baltimore, who Is pointing for a fast getaway and draw your own inference. "We concede nothing to any body," points out Mike Hlggins of Boston, who firmly believes he can win. "This is a good, hustling young ball club." asserted Chuck Dies sen of Washington. NATIONAL LEAGUE Manager Walt Alston of the world championship Brooklyn Dodgers shrugs off his former caution and admits "We're the club to beat." "Man for man we're as good as Brooklyn." comes back Milwau kee's Charley Grimm. "And I think we're even better. With some luck we'll win it all." "With a few breaks," dares Mayo Smith of Philadelphia, "we could go all the way." "Given pitching we could climb two or three notches or- even more." says Freddie Hutchinson of the seventh place Cardinals. Birdie Tebbetts of Cincinnati thinks he can parlay his power into a pennant contender "if we get the pitching." "We have the versatility and depth." Bill Rigney of the Giants reports enigmatically. "We got a real lift in off-season trades." asserts Stan Hnck of the Cubs, labeling his infield the best in the majors. So, as of the moment. It's a seven team race in each of the majors. And will be for the entire first week of the season. Defending Champ Out As Contender ROCHESTER. N.Y.

N.Y., still leads the division with 719 None of Tuesday s entries suc ceeded in breaking Into the top five of the tour divisions. Bell Key In Flag Bid Daryl Spencer, back from mili tary service, has been the team's hottest hitter at second, and he also can play short and third. When he sat down to rest with temporary sore arm, Foster Castleman moved in and played standout ball. Behind Dark at short is Ed Bressoud, a youngster hailed as perhaps the best looking rookie in Arizona. Yet he probably will be sent away because Rigney wants him to play every day. which he can't do unless Dark wearies or gets hurt. Hank Thompson has been ade quate at third, but unless he plays like the Thompson of old. spen cer might take his Job away, leav ing Castleman at second. Or vice versa. Rigney has worked it both ways In the camp this spring. All these youngsters have been so Im pressive that the veteran utility men like Wayne Terwlllieer and Bobby Hofman scarcely have had a chance to play. in me outfield right now It looks like Dusty Rhodes, with his hit ting, has won the left field post 1 and his fielding so far has been adequate.

Phillies May Open Season Without Star CLEARWATER, Fla. (if! The Philadelphia Phillies faced the prospect today of starting the Na tional League pennant chase for the second consecutive year with out the services of a key player this time third baseman Willie Jones. Jones was beaned by pitcher Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers in an exhibition game yesterday and while X-rays showed no fracture, Willie faced a possible prolonged hospital stay. Newcombe shouted. "Look out. Willie." but Jones couldn't get out of the 'way of what Newcombe said was "a fast ball that slipped out of my fingers." Jones crum pled at the plate, bleeding from the left ear. He was given first aid and taken to the Phils' dugout, where he lapsed into unconscious ness. The X-rays taken later at Mor ton Plant Hospital were negative but doctors reported they hadn't determined the cause of the bleed ing and that further tests were to be made. Observers said It appeared like ly that Jones would miss the rest of the exhibition season and the question of Just when he would be able to suit up again was upper most in the minds of Manager Mayo Smith and his teammates. The Phils got only limited serv ice at the beginning of last year from slugging Del Ennls and Na tional League batting champ Rich ie Ashburn after the two collided in an exhibition game just prior to the season opener. The Dodgers won yesterday's game 6-2. EXHIBITION BASEBALL By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tuesday's Results St. Louis (Ni 2.

Sullivan Hot As Hose Whip White Sox 7-2 By UNITED PRESS Frank Sullivan's brilliant Grape fruit League record made him a cinch opening day pitcher today and a potential 20-game winner for the dark-horse Boston Red Sox. Sullivan was nicked for only two runs in six Innings Tuesday as he collaborated with Ivan Delock in cooling off even the red-hot Larry Doby and giving the Red Sox a 7-2 verdict over the Chicago White Sox. The performance was doubly satisfactory to Manager Mike Higgins because Sullivan is supposed to be the Red Sox "stopper" this year and Tues day's win "stopped" a four-game Boston losing streak. The world champion Brooklyn Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Athletics also were encouraged by stellar mounrt per formances. The Dodgers got four-hit pitch ing from 20-game Don Newcombe and relief ace Clem Labine to beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-2. The loss was made especially bitter for the Phillies when third-baseman Willie Jones was "beaned" by a Newcombe pitch In the fifth Inning and removed to Morton Plant Hos pital in Clearwater, Fla. X-rays disclosed no fracture but Jones was retained in the hospi tal overnight and is feared lost to the Phillies until the April 17 opener. Lou Kretlow yielded two hits in six innings and Art Dltmar locked it up with a hitless three-inning Job to lead the Athletics to a 7-2 decision over the Detroit Tigers. The loss was the 13th In 17 games for the Tigers, who saw four pitchers combed for 15 hits. Vinegar Bend Mlzell, Luis Ar royo and Ellis Kinder, three of Manager Fred Hutchinson's key pitchers, turned In a two-hitter as the Cardinals scored a 2-1 trluinnh over the Milwaukee Braves.

In the following exclusive statement. McCoy tells his side of the story.) By BARE McCOY As Told To The United Tress LOS ANGELES (UP) This hearing has failed to call wit nesses pertinent to the accusations made against me regarding the allegedly fixed fights. For Instance. Tommy Campbell, the fighter who allegedly was in stigated by me as well as Man ager George Moore to lose to Art Aragon: They have not subpenaed Mr. Moore to the stand. He is a licensed boxing manager in the state, lives in the city and Is ac tive In the business and available. Yet he has never been subpenaed which is evidence that they do not intend to Include testimony of a man whose character and reputa tion la beyond reproach. TELL TRUTH The reason they didn't call Mr. Moore is that Mr. James Cox (Gov. Goodwin J. Knight's spe cial prosecutor) knows Mr. Moore will tell the truth. I'm positive Mr. Cox Is not looking for the truth. His obvious intention is to smear me because he is politically ambitious and wants the Job as the "Czar" of California boxing. If he could have Babe McCoy's licence picked up It would be a feather in his cap in his effort to get the job as boxing commissioner. None of the testimony thus far would have been allowed to have been written Into evidence In any court of law. Mv record at the Olympic over 14 years, has brought to light only one allegedly shady fight. I refer to the Campbell-Aragon match about which Campbell admitted lying under my cross-examina tion. That he admitted perjury would have immediately impeached this witness In any true court. SO-CALLED Other so-called fixed fights re cited to tile committee by Georgia Hansford and Watson Jones (ex- fighters) were scattered around country in Seattle. Portland, Ta coma, Topeka, Baltimore, Newark, Chicago, and Minneapolis. One fight in particular that j Hansford brought up was the bout he had with Enrique Bolunos in I Sun Antonio. Bolanos at that time was the leading contender for Ike Williams' title. Hansford was washed up and trying for a come back in order to make a little money. Bolanos' next fight follow ing the Hansford match was against the champion of the world in Los Angeles. By what stretch of the imagina tion could anybody assume that a fighter as washed up as Hansford would have to take a dive for the leading contender? re -leister Tire Sale!

Mr. Phillip;,, a long-time mem ber of the commission, posed the question at a recent meeting of the board there at the same time that an attorney for the state was poking into the somewhat sordid state of affairs of the boxing world that is handled by the commission In Southern California.
