Tlie lung wail is over for Roger
Craig lhanks lo a slam thai
made the entire baseball world
feel grand.
The blow heard 'round both the
National and American Leagues
came off the bat of Jim Hick
man at 10:31 p.m., EDT, Friday
night and earned Craig and the
New York Mets a 7-3 victory
over tlie Chicago Cubs.
It also ended a streak of hard
luck during uhich Craig equalled
the National League record of 18
consecutive defeats and came
within one loss of matching the
major league mark of 19 set by
John Nabors in 1016. The string
began on April 20 and it must
have seemed to Craig right up
to the moment that Hickman con
nected that it would never end.
i Craig was lifted for a pinch
hitter one batter earlier so he
was technically out of the game
when Hickman faced iclief pitch
er Lindy McDaniel with two out
and the bases filled in the bot-l
Jlm of the ninth.
1 McDaniel Grooves Pitch
The count went to 3 and 2 be
fore McDaniel grooved the pitch
that got Craig nut ol the rut.
Frank Thomas also homered for;
the Mets while Andre Rodgers1
and Lou Brock connected for the
Cubs.
The victory raised Craig's seas
on record to 3-20 and was widely
cheered by the sympathetic
crowd of 11,568 which seemed lo
"regard Craig as a symbol of all
"Its own frustrations. The Mets
-had scored only 30 runs all seas
on for Craig, who in 1062 sweated
out a 10-24 campaign.
The San Francisco Giants ad-!
vanced to within 4'j games of
the NL lead with a 4-0 victory!
over the Philadelphia Phillies,
the Cincinnati Reds defeated the
Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-4. the
Milwaukee Braves downed the
St. Louis Cardinals. 6-3. and the
Houston Colls and Pittsburgh Pir
ates split 7-6 decisions in a
doubleheader that went 15 and 11
innings respectively.

before the start of their game with the Chicago Cubs in New York Friday. Craig, who
had lost 18 games in a row, changed his uniform number for this game to change
his luck. In the ninth inning, teammate Jim Hickman hit a grand slam homer to
give the New Yorkers a 7-3 victory and end Craig's losing streak one short of an

In Pacific Coast
By l'nilrd Press liilcrnation.il
The difference between the

kane Indians are making a farce
out of the north race but in the
southern sector, last place Den
ver is only 9' a games behind the
leaders.
The Indians are 13'i games in
front of runner-up Tacoma and
last place Seattle is 23 games in
back of the leaders.
The battle (or leadership in the
south saw Dallas-Ft. Worth un
seat Oklahoma City with an 8-2
decision, pushing the 80ers one
half game behind the Rangers.
An air-tight relief performance
by Gary Dotter and the hitting
of Ray Jablonski, who hod three
safeties ill lour trips including a
home run, put the Rangers in first
place. Dotter, who relieved start-
er Bob Baillargeon in the lirstla shutout until the ninth when
inning, gave up just seven hits.

Galento Thinks
Cassius
By JACK CUDDY
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPI) Other
coffee-drinkers at the restaurant
table sat up alertly and beamed
their cars today when a sports--writer
asked "two-ton" Tony
Galento: "What do you think of
Cassius Clay?"
It was expected that Galento,
the round and rnwdyish man
from Orange, N. J., would jump
off his chair and yell: "I could'a
moidcred the bum!"
Because that was the way Tony
used to vilify the opposition when
he was a heavyweight contender
back in the 1930 s and early '40 s.
Opponents like Joe Louis, Max
Baer and Lou Nova.
Instead, the 53-year-old former
pugilist let his hairy right hand
deposit the coffee cup gently,
with elephantine grace, on its
saucer. And he said frankly

Full Strength
I think that Clay fellah is one
helluva fighter. And I'm glad
they postponed his title match
with Sonny Listen till next year
because it II give young Cassius
just enough time to be at full
strength for Liston and to beat
Liston maybe knock him out."
"Are you serious?" said the
sports writer, just as surprised
as tlie other blinking listeners.
"Sure I'm serious," said the
full-faced man with the sparse
black hair. "Clay'll beat Liston
lor sure when they fight,
'In other words," said Ilic
writer, "you're insinuating now
I hat Liston s a bum."
"No, I'm not," defended Tony
"But I do say I think Liston is
a lot older than the 29 years they
call him. He looks to me like
he's at least 40, and I never miss
in calling a fighter's age."
Galento, who is now a job sup
erintendent for a large New Jer
sey contract plumbing company
added that, regardless of Liston' s
age, Clay has the equipment and
lhe "eagerness" to take Sonny's
tille.
Clay s an eager guy a pop-
on guy, like 1 was, he explained
"' llsed " ydh 'I'll moider the
bllm.!' Bnd U,e" ''d d
really try to do it. I figure a
pop-off fighler'll come through
his promise about nine out of 10
limes. He just has to."
Necessary Koulptueiil
What kind of equipment has
Clay got that fits lum to beat
burly Liston. who is a cunning
ring general, and a mule-kick
puncher?
He's got lhe equipment (Gcnci
Tunney had lo beat Jack Demp
sey twice," replied Tony.
Galenlo and wife Mary still
live in Orange. Anthony, Jr..
their 25-year-old son, has charge
of maintenance crews at a near
by airport.
Who was the hardest hitler he
ever faced? Tony said it wasl
Maxic Baer. Yes, Maxic hit hard
er than Joe Louis, whom Tony
staggered in their first round and
floored in the third.
But Louis knocked out Tony in
the fourth round, when Tony
came up for air out of a crouch
he was using for the nighl. And
Tony was having "lung trouble"
willi pneumonia, he said.

Yes, Virginia, there is a race
the New York Yankees are los
ing. It's not the American League
pennant race, of course, because
that's a Cakewalk for lite world
champions who are 8'i games in
front with 50 to play. They
couldn't lose thai one if they let
tlie Datooy sub tor manager
Ralph Houk for the rest of tlie
season.
But there is a definite possi
bility that tlie Minneosla Twins
will wind up wearing a tradition
al Yankee trademark: the home
run title.
The Twins have clubbed 150
homers in 113 games to put them
five homers ahead ol the Yankees
and the way the Minnesota mus-
clemen hit 'cm in bunches they're
a good bet to finish the season
on top. At their present clip
they II wind up with 210 only
30 short ot the major league rcc
cord set by the 1961 Yankees
when Roger Maris and Mickey
Mantle combined to hit 115.
Reach 150 Mark
The Twins reached the 150-
mark in homers for the season
Friday night when Don Mincher,
Zoilo Versalles and Rich Rollins
connected in a 5-3 victory over
lhe Boston Red Sox. It was the
Twins' eighth win in their last
nine games but they're still 9'a
games out of first place because
the Yankees just go on winning
. . winning . . . winning.
Tlie Yankees defeated the Los
Angeles Angels, 1-0, the Detroit
Tigers beat the Chicago White
Sox, 3-1, after a 2-1 loss, and
the Kansas City Athletics lopped
tlie Cleveland Indians, 5-1 in
other AL action.

Salmon
Problem
Imminent
A brutal disregard for spring -
chinook salmon by anglers in
llock Creek, an important chi-;
nook spawning tributary of the
trout fishing, forced Phil Schnei
der, stale game director, to de
clare a state of emergency which
closed tlie entire stream to all
fishing. The emergency closure on
Rock Creek was effective Thurs
day at 6 a.m., Aug. 8, and will
remain closed until further no-;
tioe.
Schneider said that more than
1,000 spring chinook are present
ly in Rock Creek waiting the
spawning time. Fishermen of the
area over the past several weeks
have mistreated these fish by mo
lesting, wholesale snagging, and
dynamiting. Just recently,
Schneider said, game commission
biologists using SCUBA gear in
spected this run of salmon and
found at least five per cent of the
fish had from one to three hooks '
embedded in their bodies, and
twice that number had bodies
ripped by snagging. One resting
pool was dynamited. Piano wire
snares were recovered, and of
over 60 fishing outfits recovered
from tlie pools, more than half
were rigged for illegal snagging.
Schneider admonished anglers
for the illegal practice, as well
as conscientious sportsmen for al
lowing it to be done. He said
the practice was widespread this
summer, and much illegal snag
ging took place on the Rogue
River and Santiam, as well as
in the Umpqua. If the practiced
continues, Schneider said, addi-jj
lional fishing waters will be closed $
down lo all angling to protect
tilts important resource.
