Tigers Take American League Lead; Milwaukee Grabs National Top Spot Burdette, Spahn Leading Braves Detroit es Yankees By FRED DOWN UPI Sport Writer Tigers, Tigers burning bright; - will they collapse in June fright? : fhat's the question in the Amer Henri League today after the De 'troit Tigers let loose a couple of ; KV'trs that shook even the sedate "caTm of the New York Yankee ,j clubhouse. following Tuesday's 7-2 victory, " UkJ : Tigers downed the world champions, 4-2, behind Don Mos ' si's 10-hit pitching Wednesday and completed a sweep of the two game set. The two victories vault- cd them into sole possession of ' first place and quieted talk that ; the Yankees could win the pen- , ant this year without even trying, ." The rub from the Tigers' point of view, of course, is that they I accomplished the sweep against a 3 Yankee team that had such Tiger I tamers as Mickey Mantle and J tto'ger Maris on the bench. The two-homo run hitters were sorely frissed against left-handers Hank Aguirre ana mossi. ; The true test of whether there will be a race in the AL won't ! come until M&M are playing rcg '. ularly presumably they will be when the Tigers next visit Yan.' ; kce Stadium in June but why , spoil all the fun American Lcag- uers are having now at the ex pense of the Yankees? The Los Angeles Angels got splendid pitching from Don Lee -and beat the Minnesota Twins - 4-0, and the Baltimore Orioles dc- ' fjcated the Boston Red Sox, 5-4, 2 hi other AL action, Washington "at Cleveland was rained out. 2 ; In the National League, the Cin 1 einnatl Reds beat the New York jtlets, 5-0, the Milwaukee Braves 5 Jcfeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 8-5. the St. Louis Cardinals beat ';' Hie Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-3, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Chicago Cubs, 1-0, in 10 innings and the Houston Colls downed the ' San Francisco Giants, 2-1, in 13 innings.

Officials Agree NEW YORK (UPD-.Most Na tional Football League officials, including Vince Lombard! of the world champion Green Bay Pack ers, today agreed that the indef inite suspensions handed two of the pro game's greatest stars un belting on games were fully warranted. Pete Hozclle, once labeled a tool" of the pro league's club owners, proved to be an iron-fist ed commissioner Wednesday when he barred Paul llornung of the Packers, regarded as the most versatile player in football history, and Alex Karras, star de fensive tackle of the Detroit Lions. The 37-year-old NFL commis sioner also fined five other De troit players $2,000 each for bet ting on the 12 league champion ship game and the Detroit club was fined 54,000 for failing to heed reports of its players' gam bling activities. Lombardi, coach and general manager of the Packers, was "shocked and hurt" when he learned of Horr.ung's suspension but he admitted Hozclle had no alternative. "There is no evidence of crim inal intent; that is, the shaving of points and so forth," Lombard said. "However, there was a def inite violation of the player con- Ibi'ict and the constitution and by laws of tlie league in regard to gambling, which is punishable by suspension." Art Modell, president of the Cleveland Browns, said the sus pensions "mean that the NFL will be stronger than ever before be ar cause of Rozclle's decisions. It should serve as a strong deter rent in the future." Other officials who praised the commissioner's decisions included Jack Mara, president of the New York Giants and George Halas, long-time owner-coach of the Chi cago Bears. Coach Buddy Parker of the Pittsburgh Steelers said he be lieved individual National Foot ball League coaches should show more concern over the associa tion players cultivate off the field and described the suspensions as "unfortunate. William Clay Ford, president of the Lions, said Hozelle's ruling "was slow in coming and rough when it got here." He added, "we fcej the ruling was harsh and as sume the players feel it was ! - -. - ' -- :. vi ;1 - !

Barbor Jo seph Grybowski interrupts his work on Gus Liedeka as they read the details of the betting scandal, UPI Telephoto Lakers Down Celts, 119-99, To Slice Champion's Margin LOS ANGELES (UPD-The Los Angeles Lakers trailed the Boston Celtics by one game today as the teams took a breather in the best-of-scven National Basketball Asso ciation (NBA) championship series. The Lakers scored a 110-9!) vic tory in the third game Wednes day night, leaving the Celtics ahead in the scries by two games to one. Boston won the first two games on its home court Sunday and Tuesday. The fourth game will be played at the Los Angeles Sports Arena Friday night. The game is al-i ready a sellout so a closed cir cuit television has been set up at two Los Angeles theaters where the overflow faithful can wilness.eight for eight from the free Umpire Meeting Set Tonight Umpires In the Klamath Falls Umpires Association will hold a meeting tonight In rlly hall, beginning at 7:30. The im-cllng Is In b nn iniHirlanl one and all umpires are urged to attend. the game. Tickets are priced at $2.50. Wednesday night's crowd of 15, 493 was a record basketball gath ering for the Sports Arena. The old mark was 15,212 set April 7 when the Lakers met the St. Louis Hawks in a Western Divi sion NBA playoff game. Jerry West with considerable assistance from teammate Elgin Bavlor was a one-man wild west show in Wednesday night's i Laker victory. He topped all! point-makers with 42 on 17 field goals and 8 free throws. West was a tiger on the boards with eight rebounds and was par-1 ticularly effective in the final quarter when the Lakers moved into their biggest lead of the night. The Lakers outscorcd the Celtics, 30-19 in the final period. Baylor had a total of 38 points and grabbed 23 rebounds. The Celtics' Bill Russell wnsl held to 19 rebounds a come down considering his 38 when the Celtics beat the Lakers 113-100 at Boston Tuesday night. Sam Jones was the siege-gun lor the Celtics. He scored 30 points on 12 field goals. Ho hit throw line. Laker coach Fred Schaus, hap py about winning a crucial game said, "I thought this was West's best game ever in college or in pro ball. He was all over the place and so was Baylor harsh." Hornung, the NFL's player-of- the-year in 1961 and a three-time league scoring champion, admit ted he made "a foolish mistake" and said, "I just hope and pray the suspension will be lifted after next season." Karras wasn't quite as gracious in accepting his penalty. "This is guilt by association and innuendo," said the 250- pound lineman, who is 28, a year older than Hornung "Im not guil ty and I ve done nothing to be ashamed of." Both suspended players said they had no plans until 19M when their cases will be reviewed by Rozelle. They had hoped to con tinue playing football elsewhere, but officials of the American Football League and the Canadi- an leagues said they would honor the NFL suspensions. "Maybe I'll go into wrestling for the rest of my life," said Kar ras, who once wrestled profes sionally as "Killer Karras." Rozelle, who revealed he "did much soul searching" before handing down his sweeping sus pensions and fines, said all seven players involved "admitted the betting to us." Hornung, an All-America quar terback at Notre Dame before he joined the pro ranks, was specif ically charged with making bets on college and pro football games through a West Coast friend from 1959 through 1961. The wagers ranged from $100 to $500 a game. Except for one season, in which he won $1,500, Hornung broke ap proximately even on his gam- hling, Rozelle revealed. The facts of the Karras case are somewhat different than those which hung Hornung. Karras was not an .habitual gambler but he consorted with individuals de scribed by Detroit police as "known hoodlums." The Lions' tackle, though, did make at least six significant bets on NFL games since 1958. One of Karras' last bets was a $100 wager on last season's NFL title game between the Packers and the Giants. Five of his teammates John Gordy, Gary Lowe, Joe Schmidt, Wayne Walker and Sam Williams bet $50 on the same contest. They all won their bets they bet correctly on the Packers but they wound up paying stiff penal ties. - By FRED DOWN lonly one short of the best the I'PI Sports Writer Braves were able to accomplish A new manacer and an old for-i'!

Drawing to bo held May SPORT 532 Main HAL'S Ph. SHOP TU 4-5569 GREEN BAY, Wis. (UPI) They called him the crown prince of title town." But he may not be back any more. Paul Hornung, the "golden boy" of the world champion Green Bay Packers, is through in the National Football League for at least a year. He is through m the American and Lanacuan football leagues for at least the same period. He may be through n football and through in Green Bay, the little big town where he was king. How could he do it to us?" moaned a comely young Green Bay stenographer Wednesday night. "He had everything to win and we were rooting for him." 'All the kids had faith in him. They wanted to be just like him. Now, I don't know," said ware houseman and part-time youth worker Roger van Beaver. "I am shocked and hurt," Vince Lombardi, Packer coach and gen eral manager, said. 'I hate to see a good guy like1 him get fouled up," star Packer, end Jerry Kramer said. May The Blues At "Secd's" Bar, where Hor nung often sang with the trio, making up his own words as he went along, they played only blues Wednesday night. . In the Lyric Lounge, another favorite Hornung hangout, the community sing boomed out, "Who's Sorry Now," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." Hor nung used to be the quarterback of a college football team known as the Fighting Irish. "Everybody bets once in a while don't they?" asked one patron. This is the way it was Wednes day night in this city of 62, smallest in the NFL, to which Hornung, Lombardi and the rest of the Packers brought back grid iron triumphs Green Bay had al most forgotten. The Packers would go on with out him. But teammates and townsmen were shocked and worried. Hornung big, blond, curly- haired, goodlooking, friendly, ex trovert a guy whose Irish charm was always able to calm bellige rent barflies was already being missed in "title town." Green Bay fans would miss the sleek white Cadillac convertible and the white Thunderbird sports car he tooled through the streets. They ufluld miss the pretty girlsl who followed the zo-year-oia Dacn elor about. Has Playboy Reputation Hornung had a reputation as a football playboy, some of it earned and some of it exaggerated. But or the gridiron he was all pro. He joined the Packers in 19o7 after winning the Heisman Trophy as a Notre Dame quarterback and starring in the East-West Shrine Game at San Francisco. That San Francisco appearance was even-i tually to lead to his downfall. It was there, according to NFL Com missioner Pete Rozelle, he met the West Coast businessman with whom he began placing bets on games in the 1959 season. Hornung got the news of his! downfall Wednesday on the golf course at Louisville. His attorney, Chris Duvall, said "Paul has gone to pieces over this." Tile "golden boy said, I made a terrible mistake. I realize this now. I am truly sorry. What else is there to say?" muia have the Milwaukee Braves laughing it up like the glory years of 1957 and 1958. The new manager is Bobby Bragan and the old formula to let Lew Burdette and Warren Spahn handle the bulk of the pitching and Hank Aaron and Ed Math ews take care of most of the hit ting. It's a formula that paid off in National League pennants in' 1957 and 1958 although it was as interesting as stale beer the last few years. , They say Bragan doesn't have an outfield and lacks pitching depth tut Bobby says he'll get by if the old-timers get ome occa- sional help and the Bravesi have a six-game winning streak today to prove that it isn't one; of pixie-like Bobs jokes. The streak is the longest in the Na tional League this season and Pacific, PSC Divide Palp FOREST GROVE (UPI) - Pa cific and Portland State split a non - conference baseball double header Wednesday, with PSC win ning the opener 8-2 and Pacific! the second game 4-3. A wild pitch by Gordon Riese ir the seventh inning sent Gary Lee home with Pacific's winning run in the nightcap. BILLS SIGN ROOKIE BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) - The! Buffalo Bills of the American Football League have signed vet eran end Tom Rychlcc and rookie back J. D. Chittum of Eastern Kentucky State College. The Bills also sent former Canadian League halfback Clarence Walker to the Denver Broncos for an unnamed 1964 draft choice. The Braves made it six in-a-row Wednesday night when they beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 behind Lew Burdette who needed help in the ninth from reliever Claude Raymond. Burdette's win marked the sec ond straight time he has followed Spahn with a triumph. The pitch ing heroes of 1957 and '58 have scored four of the Braves' six vic tories so far this year. The Braves took over first place when the Houston Colts beat the San Francisco Giants, 2-1, in 13 innings. The Los Angeles Dodgers scored a 1-0 10-inning win over the Chicago Cubs, the St. Louis Cardinals beatMhe Pittsburgh Pi rates, 7-3, and the Cincinnati Reds defeated the New York Mets, 5-0, in other NL games. In the American League, the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 4-2, the Los Angeles An gels shut out the Minnesota Twins, 4-0, and the Baltimore Ori oles topped the Boston Red Sox, 5-4. Jim Campbell broke up the long struggle in San Francisco when he homered off Don Larsen with two out in the 13th. Bill Skowron, only 2-for-23 when he went to the plate, delivered the third of three successive two. out singles to win for the Dodgers. Stan Musial and Carl Sawatski hit homers and Ray Washburn pitched a six-hitter and struck out eight for the Cardinals. The Car dinals iced the game with three runs in the fourth inning on three singles.'a walk, a balk and a wild pitch by Tom Sturdivant. Jim O'Toole pitched a five-hitter and Johnny Edwards drove in five runs with a grand slam hom er and a sacrifice fly as the Reds extended the Mets' losing streak to eight games.
