Mays Didlt ’For Alvin Dark; Chance Is After ERA Mark

By FRED DOWN UFI Sports Writer Willie Mays said it all for Alvin Dark — once as a man and twice as a ball player. ’ Mays listened along with his San Francisco Giant teammates Wednesday night as the manager told his players that he held no prejudices against Negro or Latin - Americans. Then he went quietly to the manager and said he wanted to play against the New York Mets despite a severe cold which caused Dark to leave him out of the starting lineup. “I shouldn’t be playing but I gotta help that man,” answered Mays, the man, when asked by a reporter why he had requested to play. And then Willie spoke twice more, as a ball player, by hammerng two home runs — his first in 16 games —th lead the Giants to a 4-1 victory that enabled them to cling two games behind the first - place Philadelphia Phillies in the frantic National League pennant race. Herbel Wins Eighth Both of Willie’s homers came with the bases empty and sailed over the right center field fence at Shea Stadium at the 396 - foot sign. Willie McCovey also homered and Tom Haller doubled home Orlando Cepeda r to give Ron Herbel all the support he needed to win his eighth game of the season. The Phillies picked up a half game as they swept a doubleheader from the Houston Colts 4-1 and 2-1, the Milwaukee Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3, the Pittsburgh Pirates edged out the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-3, and the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Chicago Cubs 4-2. Jim Bunning went seven innings to win his 11th game for the Phillies in their opener and then Richie Allen led off . the ninth inning of the nightcap with his 19th homer to complete the Philadelphia sweep. Tony Gonzalez had three hits

game and John Hernnstein and Allen had two hits each in the nightcap. Slow* Drive The Braves braked the Reds’ drive toward the NL lead with a five-run eighth inning featured by Ed Mathews’ two-run hotner. The uprising routed John Tsitouris and enabled Denny Lemaster to pick up his 11th win with the late - inning relief help of Wade Blasingame. Hank Aaron had three hits for the Braves. Jim Pagliaroni tied the score with a homer to lead off the ninth and then Roberto Clemente singled home. Gene Alley with two out to give the Pirates* Al Mcßean his fifth win without a loss. Victim of the uprising was erstwhile Dodger relief ace Ron Perranoski, who suffered his sixth setback compared to only four wins. Willie Stargell also homered for Pittsburgh. Bill White crashed a threerun homer and a single to extend his hitting streak to 13 games '.and pace rookie Gordon Richardson to his second victory for the Cardinals. The loser was Bob Buhl *l2-8). AX. Action The figure is 1.63 and it means that Dean Chance is threating to wipe one of the most remarkable records of the lively ball era off the American League books. That 1.63 is Chance's earned run average for the Los Angeles Angels and if he maintains it he’ll surpass the mark of 1.64 established by Spud Chandler of the New York Yankees in 1943. And, for what it matters to the historians of baseball’s dead ball era, it will challenge the finest earned run marks compiled by such greats as Walter Johnson. Lefty Grove, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser and Whitey Ford. Chance, a 23-year-okl right hander who once was famous because be traveled around with Bo Belinsky, reduct "his* ” season ERA to a new low Wednesday night ■ when he pitched six scoreless innings in the Angels’ 1-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The win was the seventh in a row for Chance and raised his won-lost record to 12-5. Worked Bard Chance had to work hard all the way against rookie sensation Wally Bunker and Manager Bill Rigney replaced him in the seventh with Bob Lee, who struck out four and allowed only one hit over the last three innings." The Los Angeles vicr tory prevented the Orioles from taking over first place from the Yankees, who suffered a 10-1 drubbing at the hands of the Kansas City Athletics. Elsewhere in the AL, the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 ia 13 innings, the Minnesota Twins clubbed the Boston Red Sox 6-1, and the Cleveland Indians routed the Washington Senators 9-0 Lennie Green doubled with one out in the third inning and scored on Jim Fregosi’s single to give the Angels the only run of the game. Chance, who struck out three, has now allowed the astonishing total of only 31 earned runs' in 171 innings. The best marks ever compiled by some of the other AL greats of the lively ball era include 1.81 for Newhouser, 2.05 for Grove, 2.10 for Feller and 2.01 for Ford. Colavfto Homers Rocky Colavito had a homer, two doubles and a single and Nelson Mathews a grand slam homer as the Athletics beat the Yankees for the sixth time in 11 meetigs. Orlando Pena pitched a seven-hitter behind a 10-hit barrage to win his ninth game while Al Downing suffered his fourth defeat. The Tigers scored their second straight victory over the White Sox when Dick McAuliffe homered with Don Wert on base in the 13th inning. Julio Navarro, who shut out the White Sox tor the final three innings, won. his first game and 14-game winner Juan Pizarro lost his sixth decision. Leon Wagner and Joe Azcue drove in three runs each and Chico Salmon hit a two-run homer to lead a 12-hit Cleveland attack that brought Lee Stange his fifth win against U losses. Gary Bell protected Stange’s victory with 2 2-3 inning* of two-hit relief.

I Shraluka ’sSlants I By Bob Shraluka With two months of editing these sports pages as history, and the “feet now wet,” so to speak, it seems time to set down in print some of the goals of this writer, and some of the rules and standards we must follow. The goal, of course, is to have every local sports story, with the important state and national news, on these pages each day — and the day it happens, or the next day if its an evening happening. This takes more than a whiz-bang sports editor, or even a huge sports staff. It requires the aid and cooperation of you, the reader. If its news to just one person, its important enough to be in these pages! But, again, it takya the cooperation of our _ readers. There are six high schools in Adams County, and two others in neighboring Hoagland and Monroeville. Each has, for instance, a varsity and reserve basketball team. But each has also, freshmen, junior high, and even fifth and sixthe grade teams. Then too there are local independent and church leagues in basketball. This is just one example, one sport, and as you can see, it is just impossible to “cover” each game. Whether it is your Jeam, your son’s team, or your grandson’s team, give the team the recognition it deserves. It takes only a telephone call to 3-2121, or a slip of paper under the door of the office in the evening. If the coach hasn’t the time to handle these duties, try to find someone who will devote the little time it takes. This writer, however, has other duties which are to ;just as important, and so cannot sit in. the office all day waiting to hear from you. We ask that all sports be in no later than 9:30 am. the day of publication. The more details given us, the better the story — if in at a reasonable time in the morning. Occurences of the previous evening that do not enter this office until around noon may not appear as more than a score in the afternoon’s paper, and even runs the risk of not “making it” until the next day. One change in poliicy is that the coach who phones in his results only when he wins, will find his team fast-disappearing from the sports page. It is surprising how much of this is done. Not ■ on the high school level, usually, but more with junior high and freshman athletics, boy’s baseball, etc. Nobody is a winner all the time, and no one should appear so m the sports pages. Suggestions are more than welcome. We received one the third day on the new job that has proven very valuable. If you have a suggestion, send it to this writer in care of the Daily Democrat. It may not be followed, but it will certainly be appreciated. The complaint department is the same address, so if you have one, send it in also. Glad to hear from you I

Beathard Chosen As Stars' QB Starter

W H> SAINSBURY UFI Sports Writer CHICAGO (UPD—Coach Otto Graham said today Pete Beathard of Southern California would atari at quarterback Wednesday night when his College AlLStars clash with the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Beathard got the nod over two other All-Stars who performed smoothly in training camp —George Mira of Miami and Jack Concannon of Boston College. Mira, who is rounding into shape after an army injury, and Concannon are expected to see their share of action, however, since Graham has been a great believer in trying all his passers until he finds the right one for the right night. Graham broke with tradition in releasing his starting lineups. an announcement he habitually withholds until the day of the game. This time, however, a rash of injuries has trimmed his roster, knocking many of hi* athletes out of contention for starting assignments. Tony Lorick of Arizona State and Willis Crenshaw of Kansas State are Graham's selections to start. the game as his running backs If Lorick is unable to make it because of a knee injury which has hampered him in training, the All-Stars can call on a few other fleet sprinters such as Matt Snell of Ohio State, Charlie Taylor of Arizona State, and Bobby Smith of North Texas State. Graham listed his starting pass catchers as Paul Warfield of Ohio State at flanker. Chuck Logan of Northwestern at the Palmer, Nicklaus To Represent U. S.

and Cronin said they had asked Frick, who will be 70 later this year, to convene a meeting of the Major League Executive Council to make recommendations on the selection of a successor. Cronin, a former major league player and manager, has been prominently mentioned as a possible successor. Frick’s announcement also drew a proposal from St. Louis Cardinal sportscaster Harry Carey that Stan Musial be elected comtnissioner. ‘ The way the game is today, the commissioner is -more an image than anything else, and if baseball does not avail itself of the opportunity to be represented by its greatest image, then it isn't as smart as it should be.” Carey said. Speaking on his regular "Sports Digest" program on a lv St.' Louis radio* station. Carey noted that President Johnson favored Musial as national director of physical fitness. Musial “would give the game more glamor as its top representative than anyone else in the picture today,” Car said SPORTS BULLETIN Ed Cravens, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
