Giants Defeat Cubs, Dodgers Lose To Cards By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Those White Sox’ scouts sent out to get the "book” on Willie MeCovey are sure to come back with an encyclopedia instead. Only recently. Dodger “sleuth” Al Campanis came back with a bulging report on San Francisco's spectacular rookie, so you can imagine all the paper work before the White Sox, who expect to face McCovey in the World Series. The Scouts assigned by the White Sox will report back that National League pitchers triedi everything on McCovey. Inside and tight, low and away and even changing speeds. Then, in small print at the bottom, there will probably be the notation: “Nothing worked.” Get* 10th Homer That was pretty much the story Thursday when McCovey. hitting safely in his 16th straight game hammered his 10th homer in an 8-5 victor over the Cubs that enabled the Giants to widen their National League lead to 2%' games. McCovey's homer came off loser Dave Hillman in the fifth inning and it put the Giants ahead for good after the Cubs had, jumped to a 4-0 lead off starter Johnny Antonelli. While those White Sox’ scouts are at it, they’d better concentrate on that other Willie too. meaning Mays. He slammed his 25th homer with one on in the sixth. Ed Bressoud also homered for the Giants as did Alvin Dark for the Cubs. The Cardinals bent the Dodgers, 5-3, in the only other NL game. The Yankees trounced the Senators, 9-2, and the Orioles defeated the Red Sox, 5-4, in the only American League action. Cards Whip Dodgers »Ken Boyer’s 27th homer with two on in the third inning was the key blow for the Cards in their triumph over the Dodgers. It marked the 22nd straight game Boyer has hit safely. Joe Cunningham homeped in the first inning and was hit by a Don Drysdale pitch in his next time up. The incident almost precipitated a fistfight between St. Louis Manager Solly Hemus and Drysdale, who had to be kept apart- by the umpires after players from both teams came charging onto the field. Art Ditmar of the Yankees pitched nohit ball for 6 2-3 innings but was forced to settle for a four-hit victory over the Senators. Roy fevers broke up Ditmar’s nohitter when he hit his 18th homer with two out in the seventh and Clint Courtney belted a pinch homer in the eighth.

Skinny Brown was credited with his ninth victory although he was knocked out in the ninth when (the Red Sox scored two runs and had the tying run on base with two out. Billy Loes relieved Brown and got Pumpsie Green to ground but,' thereby recording his 14th "save” of the season. Frank Baumann was the loser. MAJOR NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. G.B.

Record Set By 15YearOld i Girl In Pan Am l 1 CHICAGO (UPD — The United 1 States was running away with the swimming competition in the Pan [ American games today, but its record setting pace in piling up gold medals was slowing down. Not that the U.S. wasn't doing all right in the championship department — it had won 58 of the 75 gold medals decided so far, but per centage wise, Thursday was the worst eay in that department because the U.S. picked up only 12 of the 19 contested. Those seven were the most the other 23 competing nations from the Western Hemisphere had won in one day, but the U.S. still was far out in front of runners-up Argentina and Mexico, each with four. Equals Record Os Thursday's gold medals, the U.S. won four of them in swimming, sweeping all events. Today it was expected to win five more. Os the 21 gold, silver and bronze medals in swimming thus far the U.S. had won 20 — losing onlv one third place bronze medalion. A 15-year-old Saratoga, Calif., high school girl, Chris Von Saltza, hit a record 2:18.5 to win the women's 200 meter freestyle, perhaps her first of five gold medals, and teammates Shirley Stobs, Miami, Fla., anA Joan Spillane, Houston, Tex., took the next medal positions. Another U.S. gold medal was pushed aside, temporarily, at least, by a protest. It was made against Allen C. Bell, Somerville, N.J., after he had a record time of 1:12.2 in the 1,000 meter time trial in cycling. Some Latin American groups claimed he was pushed, and after judges ruled he had to ride again, the test was deferred until today. Boxers Win Three Medals Should he fail to equal his previous time, then Anezio Argentao, Brazil, with 1:12.3, could win, while David Staub, the other U.S. entrant from Daly City, Calif., could step up with a time of 1:12.4. U.S. boxers won three of five gold medals awarded in boxing, and narrowly missed a fourth when featherweight Charles Brown. Cincinnati, lost a one point decision to Carlos Aro, Argentina, because of head butting in the third round. Only one of five tennis gold medals went to the U.S. It was won by Althea Gibson, New York, in the women’s singles, while Chile’s Luis Ayala took the men’s singles crown. Mexico’s teams won both the men's and women , doubles and the mixed doubles. Antique Cor Rally Monday At Portland • An antique car rally honoring the late Elwood Haynes, Portland native and automotive pioneer, will be one of the features of the annual Jaycee fly-in, drive-in barbecue at Steed field, 1% miles northeast of Portland on Labor Day. A 1903 Haynes Apperson, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Dee Spencer, Marion, is among the many ans tique cars to be on display.

McCovey And Low Players Os Month CINCINNATI (UPD — Willie McCovey of San Francisco and Vern Law of Pittsburgh have been named co-winners of the National League’s "Player of the Month' award for August. McCovey and Law each collected 8% votes in the balloting by a 40-man committee of baseball writers and broadcasters.

Alex Olmedo Seeks Fourth Major Title FOREST HILLS, N. Y. (UPD — Slumping Alex Olmedo of Peru, disappointed by his Davis Cup losses, opens a 10-day drive today for his fourth major tennis title in less than a year in the first round of the U. S. Grass Courts championship. Holder ,of the Australian, U. S. indoor and Wimbledon crowns, the moody Peruvian who never has flashed his best game before American galleries, takes on Don Russell, a third-string Australian paying his own way on the tennis circuit. > “I have a good chance to win this tournament,” said Olmedo, whose visions of a SIOO,OOO pro contract for next year were clouded when he blew one Davis Cup singles match with sub-par play and figured in the cup doubles' defeat. “The pressure may not be: so great now.” But before the tournament is over he’ll get plenty of opposition, i including another shot at Neale' Fraser, Australia's cup strongman, if both reach the finals as expected on Sept. 13. Fourth - seeded Rod Laver of Australia, seventh - seeded Earl (Butch) Buchholz of St. Lottis and eighth - seeded Roy Emerson of Australia also were scheduled for opening day competition. The four other seeds—including Fraser and third - seeded Barry Mac Kay of Dayton, Ohio — play their first matches Saturday. Predict 450 Traffic Deaths Over Holiday United Press International Millions of Americans got ready today for a last fling at summer and the National Safety (Council predicted 450 of them would be dead when the Labor Day week end ends. State and local police braced for the crush of traffic by canceling leaves and putting all available men on extra duty. National Guardsmen were pressed into service and many states planned to use helicopters ’and planes to help handle holiday traffic. The Safety Council predicted one of the biggest traffic jams in the nation’s history with virtually every one of the nation’s 71 million motor vehicle in the road at one time or another during the holiday period. “On the basis of past experience and the anticipated increase in travel this year, the cold statistics indicate that as msny aS 450 raffic deaths could occur during the 78-hour holiday, beginning at 6 p.m. today and ending at [midnight Monday,” the council said. The predicted toll would be art increase over last year, when United Press International counted 432 deaths, and approach the record of 453 fatalities during La- , bor Day of 1951. I The Safety Council was hopeful, however, that “the intensive campaign organized labor is wagering ' among its millions of members ’ for a safe Labor Day* would 5 hold down the slaughter to that r approaching a normal three-day week end when 360 persons are 1 killed in traffic accidents. ■ Fewer Accidents Are ? Reported Last Month 1 In the month of August a concerted effort by city police to curb - accidents in Decatur paid off as the lowest number of the year was 1 recorded as 11 accidents occurred, e involving $2,140 in damages. In eight of the mishaps, two or more cars were involved, while tow of the accidents involved fixed objects, and one involved a bicycle. The 45-54 age group led August as 7 of the drivers were in this , group. Four of the drivers in the I 16-20 group, however boosted that group to the year's high with 65. , The 21-24 group has the low for the vear with 26. Last month, 18 accidents took place, causing $2,468 in damages. Portland Power Off For Two-Hour Period : Portland’s electrical power in 1 the downtown area returned to > normal at 10:45 am. Thursday 1 after a two-hour interruption when ’ a trenching machine cut a 3-inch, 2,400-volt cable at the rear of the - new high school gymnasium. i The driver of the trenching 1 machine did not receive any injuries from the incident. He was > in the process of laying some drain » tile when his machine cut the i three-phase wire cable. Citv power . workers spliced the cable. The , driver said that sparks flew in ’ every direction, but circuit breakers at the main plant popped when the circuit was cut.

I today's Sport Parade | Today’s Sport Parade (Bee. U. S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Ted Williams will play again in 1960 and Stan Musial will call it a career, intimates of the two famous sluggers are betting today. Neither man has made a final decision, according to those close to them. But the theory is that Williams, unfulfilled batting ambitions will drive him into one more campaign while Muaial's aims have been accomplished and he won't stick around to be a mediocre has-been. “I'd bet almost anything,” said one who knows Williams well, “that Ted will play at least one more season.” One more would give him—in all probability—the two marks he 'now desires above all others. The first is moving into third place I ahead of the late Mel Ott on (the roster of all-time home run hitters. The second is taking sole ■ possession of fifth place in the all-time averages. Injuries Shackle Williams Williams has been shackled this season by a long series of frustrating injuries. As of the moment, it has dropped his all-time average from .349 to 3.345 because of a season in which he currently is hitting a painful .239. Ted feels that he still is a far better hitter than that and must believe ha one final good year a bat would move him up gain just as rapidly as he fell. That’s reason number one to give one more try. The second is even more compelling. Williams at the moment has a lifetime total of 492 home runs even though he has struck only 10 this season. One more will tie him with Lou Gehrig for fourth place on the all-time list and leave him only seven short of the “500 club.” There are only three members in this exclusive organization—Ruth with his fantastic 714 round trippers, Jimmy Foxx with 534 and Ott with 511. Impressive Totals Musial on the other hand has just about “had it.” “Stan the Man” has run up impressive totals in every department and his record is enough to satisfy any man. While he is only 39, the one-time king of the Na-

Detroit Lions Defeat Eagles In Exhibition United Press Internatoonal Florida fans get their first look at the Baltimore Colts tonight when the National Football League champions meet the Pittsburgh Seelers in an exhibition game in the Orange Bowl at Miami. The Colts have given up just one touchdown in running up preseason victories over the College All-Stars, the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. However, the champs may run into trouble against the Steelers, who have never lost to the Colts. They beat Baltimore, 13-10, in an exhibition last summer and also hold victories over the Colts in two regular-season games. Floridians will get another look at the NFL behemths Saturday night when the Chicago Bears meet the Washington Redskins at Jacksonville.
