Seattle scored a workmanlike 5-1 decision over Portland in other action. It was a bad night for Portland all-around.

Waly Butts Holds Ne w One For Record Book As Jury Awards Him Multi-Million Verdict P4C.E lB HFRAI.D AND MiWS. Klamath Falls. OreKon ATLANTA (UPIi - Wallace Butls, the round little man of football whose teams at tlie Uni versity of Georgia earned hkn fame for 22 years, held a new one for the record books today $3,060,000 libel suit judgment against the Saturday Evening Post. It was tlie second highest award ever made in a lebel suit and the highest ever involving a sports personality. Butls, sometimes called Weep ing Wally" in football coaching circles, wept openly when the jury brought in its decision Tues- day in federal court. It came after seven hours and 18 minutes of deliberation and climaxed a suit that had run into its third week in tcstimory lrom more than 50 witnesses. But Butts was chipper at a news conference an hour later. "I feel like a champ," the former coach and then athletic director said. Other Developments There were these immediate developments: The Saturday Evening Post said it will appeal the award by the jury of 12 businessmen. It has 30 days in which to file briefs. Georgia defensive line coach John Gregory, the only member of the Georgia athletic staff to testify for Butts, was fired from his job by Georgia coach Johnny Griffith. Gregory immediately charged tlie firing came because of his stand in tlie controversy. Curtis Publishing Co., pub lisher of tlie Saturday Evening Post, said in New York that it has slashed its losses for the sec ond quarter to $1.0119.000 from a loss of $14,727,000 for the tame period last year. Southeastern Conference Com missioner Bernie Moore said the verdict should help lilt "the dark cloud" hanging over intercol legiate football and the South eastern Conference. An Internal Revenue Service spokesman in Washington indicat ed that federal taxes may take a big chunk of any final settle ment. The spokesman cited a Su preme Court decision holding that punitive damages paia to a per son in a libel suit are taxable He said also that compensatory damages also may be taxable, if the injury for which they were paid causes no loss of income. Second Largest The $3,060,000 award $110.01X1 for actual damages and $3 million in punitive damages was sec ond only to the $3.5 million won by New York radio commentator John Henry Faulk against a pub lication. Aware. Inc. Faulk contended an article in Aware connected him with a pro Communist group and led to his dismissal by the Columbia Broad casting System and to a subse quent blacklist in the broadcast industry. Butts claimed tliat Ins charac ter was smeared and his career ruined by an article. "The Story of a College Football Fix,' ap pearing in tlie March 23 issue of the Post. The Post, in the magazine arti cle, reported that Butts, in an overheard telephone conversation, had given valuable secrets about the University of Georgia football game between the two schools. Alabama won, 35-0.

(UPI - Tlie Pacific Coast League has new leaders in both hilling and pitching, according to latest offi cial statistics by league statisti cian William J. Weiss covering games through Sunday. Among hitters with at least 425 at bats, Chico Salmon of Denver Is hitting .329 and Billy Cowan of Salt Lake, tlie leader for several weeks, is second at .326. Other leaders include Cesar Tovar of Dallas-Ft. Worth and Carlos Bernier of Hawaii, both of whom have scored 102 runs.

By HAL WOOD UPI Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - The San Francisco Giants, in the throes of another losing streak, can just about be counted out of tlie 1963 National League pennant chase. Take tlie word of Milwaukee. manager Bobby Bragan, whose Braves handed the Giants their fourth consecutive loss, 6-1, Tues day night. "I would say that the Los An eclcs Dodgers have a eommand- inc .position in the race, saw Braitan. which was a conserv ative estimate. The Dodgers hold a 6 1-2 game lead over tlie second place St. Louis Cardinals and champions, the Giants. I don't think San Francisco will get back in the race because they don't seem to have the pitching. Billy Pierce and Jack Sanford, who won 40 games be tween them last year, are having an off-season." That's putting it mildly. Pierce, who pitched beautiful ball for six innings Tuesday night and had a 1-0 lead, folded completely in tlie seventh when the first three men singled. Bob Bolin came in to hurl relief and like all Giants' re lievers lately, stossed a home run ball that clinched tlie contest for the Braves. r,.:,.-r .. t , ;'' -.:.: ml -'-" ,. jj a'V'l Llv:;-':i:Slj :Lvi - rwM-il MIGHTY BIG DINNER Ray Hauptman, boatswain's mate third clast, displays the dinner he just caught for hit mates aboard the attack transport USS Tulare.

Bob Sadowski was the winner for the Braves, hurling six innings and allowing only three hits be fore going out for a pinch hitter during the seventh inning rally. Bob Shaw finished up for him.

Matson, trying to regain his old fullback position with the Rams this season, "became expendable" with the presence of fullbacks Ren Wilson, Glen Shaw and Art Perkins, said Elroy Hirsch, spe cial assistant to Rams' president Dan Reeves, in making the an nouncement Tuesday night.

"That sure is a lot of money I'm shooting for," smiled Palmer after he had shot his winning 34 3569, one under par, over the long and tough Firestone Country Club Course Tuesday.

UPI Telephoto Van Brocklin's Vikings Look Different At All Positions Complaint Kills Game NEW YORK (UPD - Nearo player complaints over "semi-in tegrated seating" in M o b i 1 e 's Ladd Memorial Stadium has re sulted in the cancellation of an American Football League came between Oakland and New York scheduled for the Alabama city rnaay nigiu. The AFL office here announced the cancellation Tuesday night because the sponsors could not promise completely integrated seating the stadium, scene of the scheduled contest. Four members ol the Oakland Raiders complained Monday that the stadium was segregated, and refused to play as long as it re mained segregated. The players were Art Powell, Clem Daniels, Bo Robertson and Fred Williams. Milt Woodard, assistant com missioner of hte AFL, said the decision to cancel was reached in amicable discussion w ith the spon soring Mobile groups and owners Dave Werhlin of New York and Wayne Valley of Oakland. "Since the sponsors felt fully integrated seating was impossible, and Negro members of tlie com peting teams were reluctant or refused to play in a semi-integrated stadium, it was incumbent upon the league office to request cancellation," Woodard said. Coach Al Davis of Oakland sup ported his players' refusal to play and said they would not be penalized.

This year there will be a continued emphasis on rookies and youth. Many of the boys we have in camp must learn a great deal," Van Brocklin said. "But there is more enthusiasm this year than ever before and I think we'll be vastly improved." The Vikings finished sixth in the Western Conference last year with a 2-11-1 mark, beating out the last-place Ixis Angeles Rams. I see that we're picked to fin ish last this season," Van Brock lin said. "That's all right wilh me. You're in trouble when they pick you to finish first.
