'Serious1 Beckon MILWAUKEE (AP) The San Francisco Giants smell World Se ries money. And they're coming up with the big victories in their drive for the National ' League pennant. "Those are the kind we have to win," said Manager Bill Rigney Thursday night, after the Giants choked off a late Milwaukee bid to stage to a 5-3 triumph over the inconsistent Braves. The Giants were keyed up long after the game which enabled them to hold their two-game ad vantage on runnerup Los Angeles and drop' the Braves four lengths behind. "Those ninth inning chills are rough," said Rigney when he per mitted newsmen in the clubhouse some 10 minutes after the finish "Some of these ninth innings cer tainly can be long." The Braves threw a scare into the Giants by pushing across run in the ninth. With runners on first and third, San Francisco' right-hander Sam Jones got Hank Aaron, the league s No. 1 batter, to ground into a force play. Jones . outlasted 38-year - old Southpaw1 Warren Spahn, who went1 the distance despite allowing 15 hits. 'This shows we can win In the big ones, Kigney, sara wnn a Dig grin. "I just hope all the boys are thinking of a big pay day in the series. All we have to do is keep up." The Braves weren t very happy but were far from discouraged after missing out on a big oppor tunity to close in on the Giants, "We still can do it, said Man ager Fred Haney. "We're just go ing to hae to cash in our op portunities. We're not out of yet." LYLES TO W&L LEXINGTON. Va.

Lyles played mi nor league baseball in the old St Louis Browns' organization from 1949 to 1953. would go to Sweden and talk to the heavyweight champ about title go. 'I would be very happy to go Sweden if everything comes out all right," Archie says. But Arch isn't worried about If that doesn't work out, he said, he'd go about his business hich in the near future will in clude a screen test and financial negotiations for a part in Huck Finn. "That's a tunny thing," Moore mused. "All the kids read Huck Finn but 1 never did. I was out trying to make a living." Can he act? "I could do that," he said. There's nothing to it. I've lived along the river in St. Louis. And n boxing, you act every day of your life." WOULD TAKE SIX WEEKS The movie people would like to start shooting right away, Moore said, and it would 'take about six weeks of his time. I hate to be out at this time because 1 - could keep in shape with a little wbrk and I could :o on a boxing exhibition to South America right now." As for fighting Robinson, Arch said it's something he'd dearly love to do.' About 3 million dol lars worth of love. That's what he figures a fight with Robinson, outdoors, in Cali fornia later "his year, might yield. Archie chatted with his wife Joan, now recovered after a se rious ear operation. He talked laughed and clowned. He's not worried about the future.
