National Loop Umpires Issue Strike Threat CHICAGO (UPI)—If National League umpires aren’t assured of bigger pension payments, “supervisory personnel” may be manning the arbiter’s embattled posts by July 3. That’s the deadline set by the National Baseball League Umpires Association for “appropriate action.” on its demand for increased payments by the league to the umpires’ pension fund. John J. Reynolds, the umpires’ attorney, told of the group’s plans in a press conference Tuesday. He refused- to use the word “strike” or “walk-

out” despite repeated pressure. But he agreed thatt a strike was “one possible” way of interpreting “appropriate action.” The umpires now receive an annual pension starting at age 55 based—on S2OO per year for each year of service. They seek an increase to S3OO per year. Reynolds said the umpires presented their proposed increases to the National League’s Executive Committee at Lbs Angeles last December. It was referred to he pension committee for further study. The attorney said the umpires heard nothing from the league until May 11 when President Warren Giles outlined in a letter hjs recommendations to the pension committee for increases in the existing pension plan. i Reynolds refused to disclose what these were except that the umpires voted them “inadequate and not acceptable.” “Further, it was decided by the men that the minimum acceptable increase in the pension plan would be S3OO per year for each year of active service, with a maximum contribution toward the plan of $250 per year per “man,” Rey= nolds said. At present, umpires contribute 5 per cent of their annual salary toward the pension fund aad the league provides the remainder. ‘ New Shoes When wearing new leather shoes for the first time, it’s, a .good idea to stop at the ■ first shoe-shining parlor and have them shined.

/Yankees Edge Indians, Move To Third Spot Some gals make a big fuss about an engagement ring, but you ought to hear the Cleveland Indians holler about a plain old wedding ring. It didn’t do them a bit of good because the New York Yankees not only knocked them off for the fifth straight time Tuesday night, 3-2, but also leap-frogged over them into third place in the American League. The ring belongs to Whitey Ford, who wore it on his right hand under his glove while pitching against the Indians Tuesday night. Solly Hemus, the sharp-eyed third base Cleveland coach, spotted it on Ford’s finger early in the evening and waited until the opportune, time to complain. He picked the top of the ninth inning with the score tied 2-2. Hemus told Cleveland Manager George Strickland, who promptly beefed about it to plate umpire John Rice. . Everyone Talking The Indians felt Ford was using the ring’ to put nicks in the ball. This brought Yankee Manarer Yogi Berra charging from the dugout and before you know it everyone was trying to talk at once. The harangue about the ring lasted so long that Ford finally walked off the mound and took - it off in the dugout. Ford struck out 10 batters but it was rookie Pete Mikkelsen, e who was credited with the vic- ? tory, his third against one de- ! feat. He took over for Ford 3 with two on and one out in the ' ninth, retired the .next , two ba tr ters and earned the win when little Bobby Richardson broke the tie with a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth. Elsewhere in the American , League, Baltimore won its fifth ' straight with a 2-1 triumph over ' Detroit, Boston ran its, victory straight with a 3-2 win over Washington, and Minnesota beat 5 Los Angeles, 2-1. The Chicago- ; Kansas City game was rained t out.

Rain washed out the Gi-ants-Cardinals game. Bob Johnson’s pinch single in the seventh broke up a 1-1 tie between the Orioles and Tigers ' and a fine pitching duel between Wally Bunker and Mick- ' ey Lolich (4-3), each of whom j had allowed only two hits until that frame.

Dick Farrell Hurls Seventh Win For Colts By GEORGE C. LANGFORD UPI Sports Writer The terrible Turk of the roughhouse, fun-loving Dalton gang, is on the prowl, making the once-misfiring Colts as hot as. a pistol. Dick Farrell, alias Turk, of the Houston Colts, is riddling National League batters with his bulletlike fast ball to the tune of seven victories this season. Farrell strong-armed his way to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Braves Tuesday night to become the first major leaguer to win seven games (he has lost one), striking out 11 and allowing only four hits. The 30-year-old product of a proper Boston family was one of a trio of fast-living Philadelphia Phillies, who four years ago received the “Dalton gang” tag for upholding the old baseball tradition of riotous, afterhours living. The other mem- » bers were pitcher Jim Owens, now a teammate of Farrell’s with the Colts, and Jack Meyer, now gone from the major league scene. Cloninger Takes Loss Rookie Mike White, son of the Braves’ third-base coach JoJo White, contributed four singles to the Colts’ attack against loser Tony Cloninger, raising his batting average to .393. Felipe Alou and Joe Torre homered for the only Milwaukee runs. Hie New York Mets set a club record for hits and runs while thumping the Chicago Cubs, 19-1; Pittsburgh routed league - leading Philadelphia, 13-4; the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Los Angelas Dodgers, 6-2, and rain postponed the San Francisco at St. Louis contest. '. - In American League action, Baltimore stopped Detroit, 2-1; New York shaded Cleveland, 3-2; Boston defeated Washington, 3-2; Minnesota clipped Los Angeles, 2-1, and the Chicago White Sox at Kansas City game was washed out. Belts Five Hits Dick Smith became the first Met to collect five hits in one game and Ron Hunt added four in the 23-hit onslaught by New York. Every Met starter had at least orfe hit and one run batted in against starter Bob Buhl andfive- relievers. Jack Fisher went the distance for the victory, his second in five decisions. , Jim Pagliaroni cracked a grand-slam home run as the Pirates scored 10 runs in the first two innings to chase starter Chris Short. The victory was the fourth straight for the Pirates and moved them into a third-place tie with idle St. Louis. Vernon Law was' the benefactor of the slugging, winning his second game against four losses. Cookie Rojas and Johnny Callison homered for the Phils, and Manny Mota connected for the Pirates. Bob Purkey hurled a six-hit-ter and the Reds capitalized on three Dodger errors, including one by loser Don Drysdale (5-4) to stop the Dodgers. Frank Howard spoiled Purkey’s shutout bid with a two-run ninth inning homer, his 13th of the season. New Football Coach Is Named At C. C. FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UPI) — William E. Smith, 33, Tuesday night was named head football . coach at. Fort Wayne Catholic, succeeding Walt Bartkifewicz who resigned after seven years .at the . schoot.

(UPI) —Top money winner Jack Nicklaus led the assault on Speedway’s flat acres today in round one of the $70,000 “500” ‘Festival Open golf tourney. Nicklaus, who has won $48,035 on the PGA tour this season, including victories in the Phoenix Open and Tournament of Champions at Las Vegas, passed up Tuesday’s $5,000 proamateur tourney, which was called off after two cloudbursts. The Buckeye belter from Ohio passed up last year’s tourney. • But a tougher Speedway ' course and $12,000 going to the winner lured him here this time. Former champ Doug Ford, Billy Casper and Dow Finsterwald, last year’s. winner, were also entered along with South Africa’s Gary Player and Mike Souchak, winner of last week’s Memphis Open. Arnold Palmer, second only in earning this year to Nicklaus, was not entered. Casper set the 72-hole record of 264, 20 under par two years ago and Finsterwald’s 268 a .year ago gave him a two-shot lead over the field. He hasn’t won a tourney since. The field includes 140 pros and 10 amateurs. After Thursday’s second round, the contenders will be cut to the low 90 and ties and to the low 60 and ties after the third round. Play will be suspended Saturday for the 500-mile auto race and the final round is scheduled for Sunday. Houston Colts Make Outfielder Changes HOUSTON (UPI) — The Houston Colts Tuesday sold outfielder Walt Williams to the St. Louis Cardinals and bought Dave Roberts, one of the Pacific Coast league’s leading hitters. The Colte did not disclose how much they paid for the 29-year-old Roberts. He was bought from the Colts’ Oklahoma City farm team. St. Louis picked up the 20-year-old Wiliams for the SB,OOO “first year” player waiver price and sent him to Winnipeg.

NBA Cellar Teams To Get Two Picks NEW YORK (UPD—The National Basketball Association, in an effort to bolster its weakest teams, Tuesday announced that the last place teams in both divisions henceforth would receive two first-round picks in the annual collegiate player draft instead of one. The rule change, which was proposed by St. Louis owner Ben Kerner, states that the cellar teams in the Eastern and Western Division will flip a coin to see who gets the first choice. If the winner of the toss has a better won-lost percentage than the other, it will get choices No. 1 and 4. If the team with the poorer record guesses right, it will receive choices No. 1 and 3. The owners adopted other reforms at the league’s two-day meeting, including a change in the one-and-one free throw rule, and a new contract for Commissioner J. Walter Kennedy. They also agreed to a player pension program and to later starting and closing dates for the 1964-65 season. It was voted that the one-and-one free throw penalty be invoked after a team has committed five fouls in a period instead of six. Commissioner Kennedy was given a new pact by the owners that was described “in effect” as a four-year contract, reportedly at a salary in excess of $30,000 per year, which would be a raise in pay. The player pension program, which was the central issue in the players’ strike threat before last season’s All-Star game, got a green light from the owners. Under the proposed plan, league players would receive a $2,000 yearly endowment maturing in 30 years, with the player and club contributing equal shares. The plan will be put to a player vote with 80 per cent acceptance needed for passage. This was anticipated after player representative, Tom Heinsohn of the Boston Celtics, gave the plan his. approval. Tbe 1964-65 season will open four days later than last year, Friday, Oct. 16, and will conclude Sunday, March 21, one week later than last year’s regular season final.

New York Mets Set Records In 19-1 Triumph CHACAGO (UPD — It was a day of superlatives for the New York Mets, the last place club in the National League without oo much history to cite, but for Manager Casey Stengel it stirred memories rriore than rampant enthusiasm. “Nobody’s called me up to try to get any of my players,” he said. The Mets clobbered the Chi- ’ cago Cubs 19-1, setting club records for most runs in a game as well as most hi s, with 23, and Stengel reminisced of days gone by. “It was like a day I spent out here in 1929, I think,” he said “when I was with the (New York) Giants. I was in the outfield and they kept rattling hits off he walls and I kept running, and I think they set a record for hits that day. “I was hoping we’d get the record, but it was all right to see those hits coming off the fence, even if we didn’t.” The Mets still had enough records of their own. The previous high for the team for runs in a single game was 14 and the previous high for hits was 16. Both were exceeded handily, the hits by the seventh inning and the runs in a six-run ninth inning which fell only one short of equaling the club’s best previous inning. In addition firs baseman Dick Smith whacked three singles, a double and a triple to become the first Mets player ever to get five hits in a single game. Roh Hunt bagged four of the hits, and every starter hit safely and drove in at least one run. Stengel jocularly pointed out that despite the outburst, which broke a three-game Mets losing streak with the club’s second win in the last eight games, that none of the other clubs was knocking down his doors to get his players.
