Fidel Castro Leads Forces Against Revolt 1 HAVANA (UPD — Premier Fidel Castro is personally directing front line action against forces; steaming up a new rebellion from! the Sierra de Excambray Mountains of central Cuba, reports from the area said today. i Castro and his brother Raid, commander of the armed forces, flew into Cienfuegos, capital of Las Villas Province, to try to squash the latest threat to the seven-month-old revolutionary regime. They left the capital gripped in an atmosphere of mounting tension. Pro-Castro supporters were clamoring for the firing squad for more than 4,000 anti-Castro conspirators arrested throughout the country since Saturday. The Castros were tight-lipped when they landed at Cienfuegos The premier immediately took off again in a helicopter, obviously headed for the area around Trinidad 40 miles down the coast where the fighting was reported centered.

Nellie Fox Is Star In Chisox Win Wednesday By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Little Nellie Fox Joves that chewing tobacco, but just for a change he wants to sink his teeth into a sweet chunk of World Series melon. And now after 12 seasons of catching the World Series on radio or TV, Fox looks like he’s going to get into his first one with the pennant-bound Chicago White Sox. Along with a crack at a World Series ring, the five-foot-nine, 155pound second baseman also has an excellent chance to wind up the American League's most valuable player of the year. His performance in an 11-6 victory over Detroit Wednesday was typical. He drove in three runs and scored three more with a single and a double that boosted his average to .322, fourth best in the circuit. He leads the league with 148 hits and hardly anyone can remember the last time he took a day off. Offsets Tiger Homers Fox's timely hitting and a three run homer by Sherm Lollar helped offset homers by Harvey Kuenn, Al Kaline and Frank Bolling in Wednesday’s victory, which was credited to reliever Gerry Staley. The Indians mauled the Athletics, 9-4; the Senators beat the Yankees, 3-2. and the Red Sox overcame the Orioles, 5-4, in other AL contests. In the National League, the Braves defeated the Reds, 6-4; the Pirates downed the Phillies, 6-2, and the Cubs outlasted the Dodgers, 11-8. The first - place Giants and Cardinals were not scheduled. Minnie Minoso, Russ Nixon and Jim Baxes hit homers in a 15-hit Cleveland assault that carried Gary Bell to victory over Kansas City. Pinch-hitter Julio Becquer of the Senators ruined the Yankees. He hit a three-run homer off reliever Ryne Duren in the eighth inning after the Yanks had built a 2-0 lead off starter Pedro Ramos. Geiger Counters Orioles A ninth-inning homer by Gary Geiger proved Boston's margin of victory over Baltimore. Geiger hit his ninth homer of the season off reliever Hoyt Wilhelm, who suffered his eighth loss. The Braves simply overpowered the Reds with home runs. Eddie Mathews hit his 32nd with one on in the first inning and then connected for his 33rd with a man aboard in the third. That tied the score at 4-all and Hank Aaron untied it with his 30th homer in the fifth. Southpaw Harvey Haddix of the Pirates won his ninth game by beating his former Phillie teammates for the fourth straight time this season. Pittsburgh broke a 2-2 tie by hopping on Robin Roberts for four runs in the seventh. The Cubs used four home runs to undo the Dodgers, who dropped to third place behind the Braves. Ernie Banks started the fireworks when he hit his 34th homer with two on off loser Don Drysdale in the first inning. Sammy Taylor, Irv Noren and Alvin Dark also homered for the Cubs. 21-Month-Old Boy Killed By Tractor VALPARAISO, Ind. (U P IlMark C.

Archie Moore Whips Durelle In Third Round MONTREAL (UPD — Lightheavyweight champio*j Archie Moore—"old man dynamite” who again knocked out challenger Yvon Durelle—today planned a “quick-money” South American tour next month while negotiating for a “three-million-dollar” fight with heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson. The ring’s all - time knockout king and record-equalling lightheavyweight defender will receive a guaranteed $175,000 for belting out Canadian Durelle Wednesday night at 2:52 of the third round, and he wants to pick up “a couple hundred thousand” in September and October fights in Argentina and Brazil. Manager Jack Kearns has relayed to heavyweight ruler Johansson the offer of a one million dollar guarantee to defend against 43-y ear-old Moore. In Kearns’ cable to Johansson at Goteberg, Sweden, he said the million guarantee would be in a bank when Ingemar signs for the defense. Kearns declined to identify for the press the “very important Canadian and American interests” he says will put up the guarantee but predicted a MooreJohansson fight would draw a three million dollar gate. Eager to Meet Ingemar “Certainly I’d like to fight Johansson, Moore said, “but right now I want to get busy with South American fights. Yes, I may make a defense down there.” Another successful defense would break the record he equalled Wednesday night before 11,555 at the Montreal Forum, where his eighth defense tied the 175 pound division's mark set by Mdxie Rosenbloom. Archie stretched his all-time, all-division knockout record to 128 Wednesday night when he floored 29-year-old Durelle four times in the third round for a kayo that was counted out by referee Jack Sharkey — with heartbroken Durelle flat on his back. Moore, weighing 17414 pounds for their return title fight, shook up the British Empire champion seven times in the first round with sneaker rights and one leftright combination. And Archie had the better of the hard fighting in the second session, although one of the three judges thought Durelle won that round. Quick Finish Apparent But when the mustachioed and five-day-bearded champion went in the third session, a quick finish was apparent. Body smashes almost doubled Yvon. Then .the head attack had him reeling until a right to the chin dropped him to one knee for a count of nine. Again Moore went after him and sent him slithering down the ropes with a right-left for another nine-count. Shortly afterward another right to the face sent Yvon half through the ropes and down on the canvas for a count of six. A final right sent him flat on his back for the full count. He was bleeding profusely from his nose and mouth. i Promoter Eddie Quinn announced the gross gate as $140,519 and the net gate at $122,627. In addition, the telecast to the United States brought $125,000 fee. There was no television in Canada. * Moore’s $175,000 guarantee was against 40 per cent of the net gate and TV money, totalling only about $98,050. He’ll’take the guarantee. Durelle was guaranteed $15,000 against 20 percent of gate and TV, only if Moore’s percentages equalled Moore’s guarantee. Durelle will receive only his $15,000.
