U.S. Net Team In Fort Wayne On August 22 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (UPD— The U.S. basketball team for the Pan-American Games is made up of outstanding players but it might have trouble with entries from Brazil, Puerto Rico and Argentina. That was the way Fred Schaus, coach of the American team, summed up an analysis of the U.S. basketball chances in the

games at Chicago. “Basketball was born in the United States and I don’t think any countries should have caught us in the development of the game,” he said. “But those Latins have advanced pretty fast and will cause some trouble.” Schaus, basketball coach at West Virginia University, said members of the U.S. team would report Sunday to Glenview Naval Air Base just outside Chicago. “We will work out there for about a week, then move to the University of Chicago campus August 18,” he said. The American stars will play two practice games before the tournament, one in Cleveland Aug. 21 and one in Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 22. The basketball games will run from Aug. 28 to Sept. 6. Schaus said 13 teams were entered and one more may be added before the games start. The U.S. team lost Johnny Green, former Michigan State star, when he signed a pro contract recently with the New York Knickerbockers. Schaus said he had recommended that Adrian Smith, former Kentucky star, be named in place of Green. Schaus said Jerry West, West Virginia All - America, probably will play as a guard. West is a forward during the regular sea- ' lege also will be on hand to playin the backcourt. Byrd was the nation’s second leading major college scorer last season. The American squad has six members of the college All-Star team that won the Pan-Am tryouts last spring under Schaus. Included are three All-Americans — West, Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati and Bob Boozer of Kansas State. Byrd; Don Goldstein of Louisville and Walt Torrence of UCLA are the other college stars.

Although Paret is unranked, his speed and skill and so highly regard«*l that wagering on the bout is at “even money.”

Their fight will be televised and broadcast- nationally by NBC 8t 10 p.m. e.d.t.

Klenks Beaten By Union Team, Out Os Playoff Klenks of Decatur was eliipinated from- the Federation league playoff Thursday night, losing to AFL-CIOI, 6-3, at City Utilities park in Fort Wayne.

White Sox And Orioles Battle To 1 To Hie By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Feast or famine — take your pick. Sometimes a team can’t beg, borrow or steal a run as was the case with the White Sox and Orioles, who battled to an’lß-in-ning 1-1 tie in the longest game of the year Thursday night. And there are other times when the poor guy running the scoreboard could use an adding machine as was the case when the Pirates came up with 10 runs in the ninth inning to swamp the Cardinals, 18-2. Southpaw Billy Pierce and knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm were the standouts in the four-hour-an-eight-minute Chicago - Baltimore marathon. Pierce Pitches 16 Innings Pierce s once thought to be “too frail” during the early part of his career, pitched the first 16 innings for the White Sox before giving way to Turk Lown. The 35-year-old Wilhelm took over for starter Billy O’Dell in the ninth and pitched no-hit ball for 8 2-3 innings before Billy Goodman singled with two out in the 17th. Chicago scored the first run in the third inning on a walk and John Romano’s triple off the left field barrier which just missed being a homer by inches. Baltimore scored its runs in the eighth on Chico Carrasquel’s single, a sacrifice and another single by Willie Tasby. The two teams, finally halted by the midnight curfew, had played 17-inning games on June 4th and July 25th of this season with Chicago winning both games. 15 Bucs Bat in 9th In Pittsburgh’s slaughter of St. Louis, the Pirates sent 15 men to bat in the ninth. Smoky Burgess paced a 25-hit assault on five Cardinal pitchers, driving in six runs with five hits, including a homer and two doubles'. Bill Virdon drove in five runs. The winner was left-hander Harvey Haddix, who hurled a sevenhitter and breezed to his eighth victory. The same Haddix would have done anything for a couple of those runs when he lost a 13inning one-hit 1-0 decision to the Braves last May 26th. San Francisco stretched its National League lead to a full game with a 7-1 decision over Milwaukee and, Chicago beat Philadelphia 4-2, Los Angeles and Cincinnati were not scheduled. In the American League, Cleveland climbed to within 1% games of the top with a 5-2 victory over Washington; Detroit blanked New York. 4-0, and Boston nipped Kansas City, 4-3. Jones Wins 15th Sam Jones of the Giants scored his 15th victory of the season with an eight-hitter over the Braves. The Cubs snapped a seven-game losing streak when Ernie Banks’ double touched off a two-run rally in the eighth against the Phillies. Rocky Colavito’s 32nd homer with one on highlighted a threerun rally that carried the Indians to their victory over the Senators. Pau Foytack of the Tigers stopped the Yankees on three hits en route to his 10th victory. Boston won its game from Kansas City with four unearned runs in the fourth inning.

Sugar Ray Robinson Will Fight Pender NEW YORK (UPD — After a lapse of 21 months, Sugar Ray Robinson will defend his “big portion” of the middleweight crown against Paul Pender at the Boston Garden, Dec. 5,' “without a guarantee of any kind." “I’ve still got a big portion of the championship,” said 39-year-Ray today, “and I’m defending it without a guarantee because I’ve got a good percentage deal and because it’ll help independent promoters.” The promoters are Sam Silverman and Johnny Buckley of Boston. Sleek, slender Robinson — who signed Thursday night to defend against the Brookline, Mass, con-tender-said, “I’m still recognized as champion in New York, Massachlisets, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Cuba, and continental Europe.” Hopes To Extend Title He added, “and next year I hope to regain recognition everywhere.” Robinson’s defense against 29-year-old Pender will be his first since he recaptured the 160-pound title from Carmen Basilio at the Chicago Stadium, March 25. 1958. Because of his inactivity, the National Boxing Assn, vacated his title on May 4. Ex-champions Basilio of Chittenango, N.Y., and Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, are scheduled to fight for the NBA version of the title at San Francisco, Aug. 28. Silverman announced in New York that Sugar Ray will receive 47 Vt per cent of the gate and 75 per cent of all television, radio and movie rights. Claim 8100,000 TV Offer Silverman said they already had an offer of SIOO,OOO for TV, permitting a 100-mile blackout in the Boston area. Moreover, should Sugar Ray be upset and lose hit title to the challenger, Pender has agreed to give him a return title shot within 90 days—with Robinson getting 30 per cent of the return net gate and 75 per cent of the TV rights. Challenger Paul, who looks like a fresh-faced collegian and who did spend one year at Staley College, has had 40 fights during his oft-interrupted 10-year professional career. He won 33, including 19 by knockouts. In tins last bout on March 17, he -earned a title shot —according to Sugar Ray —by beating Ralph (Tiger) Jones, who once outpointed Robinson. Veterans Tie Fox Lead In Carlings Open

CLEVELAND (UPD — Veterans Pete Cooper and Jim Ferrier, flashing brilliant putting, carried a one-stroke lead into the second round of the $25,000 Carlings Open today. The oldsters, each 44, fired four-under-par 67's Thursday to take a slim lead over the field of 152 professionals and amateurs. They needed a total of only 53 putts as they fired identical rounds of 33 - 34 over the 6,966 yard Seneca Municipal Course. Ferrier, winner of the PGA iin 1947. had 10 one-putt greens and his round included birdie putts of 20. 18 and 15 feet. Copper, now a regular member jf.the PGA tour after a successful Caribbean tour in which he won three tournaments, needed only 27 putts including a 30-footer on the closing hole.

Doug Ford, Crystal River, Fla., one of the most consistant money winners on the tour; Don January, Denver, Colo., and newcomer Mason Rudolph, Clarksville, Tenn, were one stroke back after carding 68’s. Four young players were deadlocked at 69, two strokes off the pace. They included Buddy Cook, Boc% Raton, Fla., Bert Weaver, Dallas, Tex., Don Whitt, Borrego Springs. Calif., and Tom Nieporte, Bronxville N.Y.

Ten more players were bunched at 70 including Art Wall Jr., Pocono Manor, Pa., the year’s leading money winner; burly Mike Souchak, third top money winner; former Open champ Jack Fleck, and slender Gardner Dickinson, West Palm Beach, Fla. Gene Littler, Singing Hills. Calif:, the year’s second leading money winner, Ted Kroll, Sarasota, Fla., and former Open champ Tommy Bolt, Crystal River, Fla., were the “name” pros in a group of eight players at ever-par 71.
