Rosenbloom Cleared Os Gambling Charge NEW YORK (UPI) — Pete Rozelle, commissioner of the National Football League, apparently has concluded the current phase of his investigation of gambling on NFL games. Rozelle admitted Tuesday "no other pressing matters” are being probed after he cleared Carroll Rosenbloom, millionaire owner of the Baltimore Colts, of all charges that he bet on pro footballgames. The commissioner added, however, that “this matter of surveillance and checking is a constant procedure.’’ Rosenbloom had been accused by three individuals of betting on pro football games during a period eight to 10 years ago. “All three of the accusers making the original charges against Mr. Rosenbloom...subsequently repudiated or withdrew their earlier charges in new affidavits given to the commissioner,” Rozelle said in a prepared statement. The comrnissioner added that the league’s * investigation staff “conducted extensive inquiries” into Rosenbloom’s alleged gambling activities and “no proof whatever has been uncovered that he ever bet on a National Football League game since becoming an owner in the league.” Rozelle’s probe into NFL gambling reports was launched last year. Last April he suspended indefinitely Paul Hornung of the Green Bay Packers and Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions for betting on games and levied fines against five other players and the Detroit club.

Stu Miller In Clutch Relief Role For Birds By United Press International What are the odds that Dick Radatz, the Boston monster who terrifies American League hitters, would be challenged by a pitcher who was once blown off the mound by a gust of wind? You name ’em and you’ve got the odds against Stu Miller, a 160-pound chap whose hobby is contract bridge, being in the big leagues in the first place. Yet the ex-San Franciscq Giant right-hand-er is doing a brilliant job of relief pitching in his own right and is the key reason the Baltimore Orioles are still within shouting distance of the American League lead. Miller, whose equipment is described by hitters as “slow, slower and let’s not get ridiculous,” has Been the closeout pitcher in the Orioles’ last seven victories dating back to July 5. He’s been the official winner in only one of those games and his season record is a mere 3-4 but that only proves that records don’t always tell the real story. Preserved Victory Miller—he was “blown” off the mound by a sudden gust of wind during the 1961 All-Star game in San Francisco—turned in a typical clutch relief job Tuesday night to preserve the Orioles’ 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers. The win moved the Orioles to within 6% games of the first-place New York Yankees, who were rained out in Minnesota. The Los Angeles Angels shaded the Cleveland Indians 2-1, the Washington Senators downed the Chicago White Sox, 3-1, and the Kansas City Athletics routed the Boston Red Sox, 11-0, in other AL action. In the National League, Los Angeles beat Philadelphia, 5-2, and lost 10-2, Pittsburgh downed San Francisco, 3-2, after losing the opener by the same score, Chicago nipped Milwaukee, 1-0, St. Louis edged out Cincinnati, 5-4, and New York tripped Houston, 4-3. Miller was called in Tuesday night after the Tigers got runners on first and second base with one out and the Orioles leading in the eighth. He yielded a walk and run-scoring hit but then retired Rocky Colavito and Bill Bruton to end the inning and went on to shut out the Tigers in the ninth. Homers by John Powell, Jim Gentile, Brooks Robinson and Bob Johnson produced the Orioles runs as they dealt winless Frank Lary his third loss. Mcßride Wins 10th Ken Mcßride pitched a- three-, hitter and struck out five to win his 10th victory for the Angels. The Angels scored both their runs in the third inning which Mcßride led off with a double and which Lee Thomas capped with a runscoring single. Jim Grant suffered his ninth loss. Claude Osteen’s four-hit , pitching earned him his third win and the Senators their 10th in their last 12 games. An error by catcher Camilo Carreon on a foul pop paved the way for the Senators to score all their runs in the second inning. Osteen singled home one run and Ma r v Breeding tripled in the other pair. Pitcher Moe Drabowsky hurled a four-hitter and also homered to win his first game of the season behind a 15-hit Kansas City attack that also included a homer by Norm Siebern and triples by Gino Cimoli, Jerry Lumpe and Jose Tartabull. Dave Morehead was the Red Sox’ loser.

Willie McCovey Closing In On Kiners Record By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Willie McCovey is closing in on a National League home run record and there’ll be no asterisk alongside his name if he makes it. The free-swinging San Francisco Giant outfielder hit' his 27th and 28th homers of the season Tuesday night when the Giants split split a pair of 3-2 decisions with the Pittsburgh Pirates, The two blows gave him a total of 10 for the six fewer than the NL mark set in 1949 by Ralph Kiner of the Pirates. Kiner’s mark doesn’t have the prestige of Babe Ruth’s 60 in 1927 .so there won’t be any national uproar to disturb Williws comic - book reading. Baseball’s poobahs put an asterisk alongside Roger Maris’ name when he" hit 61 homers in 1961 on the ground's ! the season was longer than when Ruth set his record in 1927. But as far as anyone knows nobody in baseball has suggested that the month of July is longer now than it used to be. —lt only seems longer to NL pitchers, who have been coping with McCovey during his current rampage. The big guy has hamered away at a ,323-clip since June 30 and has lifted his season average to .281. Homer Won Game McCovey’s 27th homer came in the ninth inning of Tuesday night’s opener and gave the Giants their victory. Willie also homered in the first inning of the nightcap and had a second hit during the game but the Pirates earned the split on the strength of a ninehit attack that included two triples by Dick Schofield, one by Bill Virdon and doubles by Roberto Clemente and Bill Mazeroski. McCovey has now hit safely in 21 straight games during which he has hit 14 homers and drove I in 24 runs. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies. 5-2-, before suffering a 10-2 loss, the St. .Louis Cardinals nipped the CinI cinnati Reds, 5-4, in 10 innings, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Braves,. 1-0, and the New York Mets topped the Houston Colts, 4-3, in other NL games. 1 In the American League, Washington downed Chicago, 3-1, Baltimore defeated Detroit, 5-2, Kansas City routed Boston, 11-0, and Los Angeles scored a 2-1 victory over Cleveland. i Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect I game for six innings and wound : up with a six-hitter that earned him his ninth straight victory and his 16th of the season. Wally Moon's homer, a single by John Roseboro and a double by Jim Gilliam were the big blows of the Dodgers’ 12-hit attack. Threw Eight-Hitter Dallas Green pitched an eighthitter in the second game as John Callison hit two homers and Tony Taylor and Roy Sivers had two hits for the Phillies. f ' i Tim McCarver’s two-strike bunt-, I which started foul and then roljed fair, brought *in Bill! White from third base with the winning run for the Cardinals. Bobby Shantz. struck out eight ba Refs in 3,2-3 innings to win, hri- fourth game while Joey Jay,-appearing in relief. suffered his 14th defeat. Bob Buhl pitched 6 2-3 innings of hitless ball and allowed only one hit before retiring because of the heat after, seven innings to post his ninth win" for ; the amazing Cubs. Ken in the fifth inning for the Cubs, who moved to within 5% games of the NL lead. The Mets broke a 3-3 tic in the ninth inning when Norm Sherry’s < I bad-hop single went over shortstop Jim Wynn's head and in abled Rod Kanehl to score from third. Galen Cisco, who. pitched a hitless ninth, wifti his fifth game while Hal Woodeshiek suffered his fifth loss.
