Harris favorite To Beat Charlie Powell HOUSTON, Tex. <UPI) — Roy Harris, the ex-school teacher from Cut n’ Shoot, Tex.,, was installed a slight favorite today in his 10round heavyweight match tonight with tough Charlie Powell at the Coliseum. Powell was expected to go into the bout with about a 15-pound advantage over the 195-pound Harris, but local sentiment seemed to back the colorful backwoods fighter at 6-5 odds.__. Both appear to have been using their match tonight as a launching pad for a campaign to gain a date with Floyd Patterson, and his world heavyweight crown. Bill Newton, the millionaire oil-man-mayor of Conroe, which is the nearest Jown to Cut n’ Shoot, in fact he personaly offered to put up a $250,000 purse if Patterson will fight Harris either in Dallas or Houston next August. Patterson, however, still has to get by Sweden’s Ingemar Johansson June 25 before he can consider any other possible chalengers. Powel ast March knocked out second rated Nino Vadez and a victory over Harris would be a big boost to his standings in the heavyweight ranks. On the other hand, should Harris win, his camp is certain to renewal campaign to get Patterson’s manager, Cus D’Amato, to give Harris another try at the champion. Patterson stopped Harris in a title match last August in Los Angeles.

Face Boosts Record To 8 0 In Pirate Win By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International All it takes is a Face-lift to make the Pirates look like champs again. There are days the Pirates look like pushovers, and there are other days—usually when little Erloy Face is pitching—that they look like legitimate pennant threats. Face, whom his teammates call “the man with the golden arm,” has a sparkling 8-0 record in relief and is Pittsburgh’s answer to Baltimore’s Hoyt Wilhelm, owner of a 9-0 record. In fact. Face’s winning streak is 13 games dating back to last year. A possible “meetin' of the unbeaten” shapes up for the All-Star game at Pittsburgh on July 9th because Casey Stengel already has indicated he will pick Wilhelm for the American League team and Face is practcially a inch to make the National League squad. Face Wins Bth Face picked up his eighth straight triumph—and lowered his earned run average to 1.03, incidentally—in Pittsburgh’s 11-inning 12-9 victory over San Francisco Monday night. The five-foot, seven-inch Pirate relief ace blanked the Giants over the last three innings and rookie Harry Bright broke up the game with a three-run pinch homer in the 11th after two were out. Bright was batting for Face, who was appearing in his third straight game for the Pirates. The victory snapped a fourgame losing streak and moved the Pirates into a three-way tie for third place. Milwayfree defeated the Chicago Cubs, Sw, and increased its lead to three games in the only other

AHStar Game Scheduled At Los Angeles > NEW YORK (UPD — Commissioner Ford Frick is expected to announce today that the major leagues’ second All-Star Game of the year will be a twi-light affair "rigged” to draw a record crowd of >t least 80,000 into the Los Angeles Coliseum. Frick’s announcement, which also will include ticket prices and other details, will come after a meeting with League Presidents Warren Giles of the National and Joe Cronin of the American. The possibility of 90-degree heat on the Aug. 3 date selected seeks to rule out the chance of'drawing a huge crowd for a day game and the leagues hardly could sell television and radio rights for $250,000 if it were a regular Los Angeles night game which would not start until 11 p.m., Eastern time. The first All-Star Game of the season will be played at Pittsburh on July 7. Frick stressed that the decision to play a second game was approved for this year only but National League player representative Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies indicated the

Roberts explained that the addition of a second All-Star Game each year should enable the pension fund to pay off about sll- - in back service to retired players in 10 years. Roberts said it would take 17 years to pay off the same, amount if only one game were played. Frick denied published accusations that a "greedy” motive inspired the players to think of the second game. “In my heart I know those charges are not true,” said Frick. “The players have a problem. They need money. I know the feelings of Roberts and the others when they first suggested a second game.
