Harvey Haddix How Living In Goldfish Bowl MILWAUKEE (UPI) — Harvey Haddix will be living in a goldfish bowl for the next few months. Hie little Pittsburgh Pirates lefthander will be the subject of interviews, endorsements, banquets, and even a National League ceremonial because of the 12 innings of perfect baseball he threw at the Milwaukee Braves Tuesday night. — i The historic chore will mean some extra money for him too. How much isn’t certain at this time, but ‘one unofficial source said it could boost his income this year by 310,000, maybe more. Television show doubtless will be after him to tell his story. The razor blade sponsors will probably want him to shave before the cameras. He was deluged with telegrams Wednesday and he probably gave more interviews in a day than he had in his seven years in the majors. Hero Lacks Sleep “Look at my eyes,” said Haddix in the Pirates dugout before Wednesday night’s game with Milwaukee. "I didn't get as much sleep today as I usually do.” “You probably were the most photographed and talked about man in the country today,” said a reporter. Just then another radio man came up and asked if Haddix “was ready.” With that he walked over to the corner of the dugout to repeat the story of how he set down 36 Braves in a row without a t hit and then lost in a whacky 13th inning. It wasn’t, until midday Wednesday that the score was finally decreed to be 1-0 by National Lea-: gue President Warren Giles. The whole affair was complicated. Joe Adcock hit the ball over the fence with Henry Aaron and Felix Mantilla on base for what should have been three runs. But the big first baseman passed Aaron, who had stopped running because he thought the ball was inside the park and Mantilla had already scored. Umpire Frank Dascoli gave Adcock a double and scratched one of the runs. Only Winning Run Allowed Giles said only die run necessary to win the game will be counted. He said Adcock would be officially credited with a double because he had failed to touch all the bases. Giles said the National League is preparing an “appropriate observance” of Haddix’ performance. He didn’t indicate the nature of the affair, but hinted it will take place at Pittsburgh. Haddix said among the mound of telegrams he got was one from Pittsburgh Mayor Thomas J. Gallagher, who said his “pitching skill and personal courage, although exerted in a heartbreaking effort, is an inspiration to all of us who so dearly love our national game. ■- Haddix apparently wasn’t so sure the glory compensated for loss. "I think I would have settled for the victory,” he said. But there are many who say the little guy never had it so good, for a pitcher who lost the game.

Jesse Bowrdy Is Winner Last Night CHICAGO- (UPI) — Jesse Bowrdy boxing’s top challenger for the light heavyweight title, Tony Anthony, so today he was on the threshold of taking over the position himself. Rated No. 7 among the 175pounders before he overcame the the 3-to-l odds favoring Anthony, Bowrdy today had a chance to to meet the long-time trial horse of the division, Harrold Johnson. Another victory also might give Bowrdy a chance as champion Archie Moore’s major tival. Anthony, losnig for the seventh time in 46 bouts and for the second time by decision, will be dropped to the fifth or rixth spot by the National Boxing Assn., it was learned, while Johnson will move up to the No. 1 rung with Bowdry soipewhere in the top five- 1 Bowdry, a 21-year-old former Golden Gloves champion who always is confident of a win, explained his win over Anthony as just a result of hard work and careful planning. Bowdry hit with just about everything else Wednesday night too. Anthony, holding a two-pound bulge in weights at 177 at 175 was cut over the left eye and on die lips in the second round. The defeat cost Anthony perhaps one of his best money matches, since he had been promised a meeitng with heavyweight Eddie Machen in San Francisco with a victory. Now, he indicated, he didn’t know whom he could fight.

Don McMahon, Gerry Staley Star In Relief By FRED DOWN United Press International Speaking of “perfect pitchers,” how about Don McMahon of the Milwaukee Braves and Gerry Staley of the Chicago White Sox? Neither has started a game this season, much less pitched 12 perfect innings, but manager Fred Haney of the Braves will take firebailer McMahon and manager Al Lopez of the White Sox will take knuckleballer Staley when a spotless relief job is required to wrap up a victory. The ace “lock-up hurlers” did it again Wednesday when the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3, to reatain their threegame National League lead and the White Sox downed the Cleveland Indians, 5-1, to move within one game of toe top rung in the American League. McMahon, who has a perfect 1-6, 1.000 slate to show for 12 relief appearances, needed only three pitches—all strikes—to put down a ninth-inning Pittsburgh rally and preserve ( Warren Spahn’s 252nd major league win. Hie Pirates, suddenly coming to life after 26 consecutive scoreless innings against Milwaukee pitching, had rallied for three runs and had the tying run on second base when McMahon took over and bombed three strikes past Dick Schofield to end the game. Saves Wynd’s 256th Win Staley, who has only a 1-1 won -lost record but an amazing 0.58 earned run average in 18 relief appearances, saved the 256th victory of Early Wynn’s career by halting a ninth-inning Cleveland rally. Staley replaced Wynn with runners on second and third and one out and retired Minnie Minoso and Rock Coalvito without permitting a run to score. The San Francisco Giants blitzed the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-4, the Cincinnati Reds routed the Philadelphia Phillies, 10-4, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Chicago Cubs, 4-1, in the other National League games. The New York Yankees shaded the Boston Red Sox, 3-2, and the Washington Senators beat the Baltimore Orioles, 6-0, in other AL action. Ed Mathews hit his 15th homer and Johnny Logan drove in two runs to lead the Braves to thenfourth victory in five meetings with toe Pirates. Vern Law—like Harvey - Haddix on Tuesday night -saw his punchless mates waste repeated scoring opportunities. Earl Torgeson and Sherman Lollar honered to pace an eight-hit White Sox attack that raised Wynn’s season record to 7-3. Giants Hit Three Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, and Andre Rodgers hit homers as Johnny Antonelli won his sixth game for San Francisco. Stan Musial homered—his first in two seasons on toe West Coast. Bob Purkey squared his season record at 5-5 as Frank Robinson clouted two homers and Vada Pinson and Ed Bailey hit one each for Cincinnati. Robin Roberts suffered his fourth loss against only two victories. Don Drysdale struck out 11 batters to lift his NL leading total to 81 and yielded the Cubs’ only run when Ernei Banks hit his 11th homer in the sixtinning. Bill Showron’s two-run eighthinning homer was the margin of victory for the Yankees who nevertheless remained 16 percentage points behind the seventhplace Red Sox. Pete Runnls cut Boston’s deficit to one run with a two-run homer in the ninth. Camilo Pascual pitched a nohitter for six innings and wound up with a two-hitter as the Senators tightened their grip on fourth place. Harmon Kellebrew blasted a three-run homer in the first inning to raise his homer total to 16 and his runs batted in total to 36. Little League Twin Bill On Saturday Four of Decatur’s Little League teams will engage in a pair of practice games Saturday afternoon at the Stratton Place diamond. The Red Sox and Senators will play at 1 p.m., and the White Sox and Indians at 3 p.m. No Showers Likely Until Race Completed INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Forecasters indicated "informally” today that any showers which might fall Saturday in the Indianapolis area were likely to occur after the 500-mile Indianapolis Speedway race is over. The outlook called for partly cloudy, continued warm and humid with chance of widely scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers and temperatures rising to about 87 at the high point. One forecaster said the chances were “60-40” that the showers, if any, would hold off until late afternoon — although the “whole area is unstable” —because the air mass now flowing into Indiana is coming off the Atlantic Ocean and not toe Gulf of Mexico.

Final Practice Is Held At Speedway INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) J- Twothirds of the starting field for the Memorial Day 500-mile race took to the track Wednesday for carbeuration tests during the final three-hour practice period before the big race. Many of the crews for the 33 cars in the starting lineup also took advantage of the brief track opening to practice pit stop techRcxiger Ward’s crew turned in toe best time for tire changes, putting new rubber on Ward’s roadster in 21 seconds. Ward, one of toe favorites in Saturday's holiday classic, will pilot a car equipped with an air jack to elevate the car at the push of a button. Several other cars also are equipped with the time-saving device. Paul Russo's crew made their tire changes in 23 seconds and Johnny Boyd’s in 24 seconds. Also among the 22 cars out on toe track were those of Jim and Dick Rathmann, national driving champion Tony Bettenhausen ana defending “500” king Jimmy Bey an. One of the two alternate cark also was on the track driven by Shorty Templeman. The alternates will start only if any of toe starting field fail to make the lineup. The 10 cars which did not appeal either were torn down in toe gar»go area or. had. made their final adjustments during the final day of qualifications last Sunday. Arning toe absentees was Johnny Thqjinson, who won the pole position' with the fastest qualifying speed of any of toe starters. Hie only mishap Wednesday came when the crew of Eddie Sachs put a right rear tire on the left side of his car. However, the error was discovered before Sachs had worked the car up to high speed and he was called back for an unplanned pit stop. L < ———-* AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Eastern Division W. L. Pct. G.B.

Service Academies May Play In Bowls WASHINGTON (UPD — The Defense Department has informed a Louisiana congressman that the “segregation issue” dosen’t rule out post-season bowl games in the South by Army, Navy and the Air Force Academy. However, Rep. F. Edward Hebert (D-La.) was told in a letter made public today that each service academy has the right to decide for itself whether to accept or reject a bowl bid. The letter was from Asst. Defense Secretary Charles Finucane, who said: “A service academy team may play in hte Rose Bowl; the Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl or the 'Gator Bowl, if invited, provided that the service academy in question determines such participation to be in its best interests.” Hebert, who-represents the congressonal district including New Orleans where the Sugar Bqvjl is located, demanded three months ago that the Pentagon reveal its stand on the question. The legislator said today he was glad that the Defense Department had publicly set forth “one policy for all the academies." “I believe it important,” he said, “that the questions which have been raised for political purposes at improper times have now been answered in the calm of the year when there are no impending athletic contests.” Bowling Scores Women’s League SB Final Standing W L Pts.
