Potent Pick - - Packers One of the biggest o fthe big business outfits, professional football, opens operations this weekend. Saturday and the American Football League has two The National Football League has a single game on tap contests slated. The AFL, no longer a struggling babe in arms thanks to television contracts, has two more scheduled for Sunday, while the NFL has a big sixgame card Sunday. Football, the way the pros play it, is a booming industry, and. anyone that doesn’t believe it should check the attendance figures for this weekend's games. The photographer at Five Points will be calling five minutes after he reads this, and the back shop foreman in the office is already arguing (they’re both # Colt fans), but we can’t see anyone in the NFL but the Green Bay Packers. Lombardi’s lads are the class of both divisions — at least as we see it. This is a club that is as close to being perfection as any have ever been in professional football. Now that Hornung is back, they have the most well-rounded attack in either division. A couple of trades and some position switching has made their ofensive line and defensive unit talented, seasoned and rugged. Depth? They have backs sitting on the bench who would be playing regularly with most other teams. Johnny U and his Colts will make the Packers work for the division title, but don’t have the over-all punch to stay with the Green Bay Bombers. We’ll take more that coffee on it, as any of four clubs could win the Cardinals in the East, but wouldn’t want to bet that crown. But no matter who wins in the East, the world’s title will remain in the West, after the championship game on Sunday, December 27. In the AFL we like San Diego’s Chargers, built around Keith Lincoln, Paul Lowe and Lance Alworth, to repeat their 51-10 crushing of Boston in the title contest last season. DID YOU KNOW? — Norm Bass, former Kansas City A’s righthander, is now in the defensive backfield of the Denver Broncos, after turning in his glove for a helmet ... Remember that Portland cheerleader tfho amazed everyone with the cartwheels at last year’s holiday tourney? . . . That was Sue Gillispie who recently won '* her second world’s women’s horseshoe pitching title and has been pictured in Sports Illustrated and is now scheduled for the To Tell The Truth TV show . . . Steve Hazelwood, last year’s star tackle is enrolled at Manchester, and is now attending football practice sessions there... On May 3 of this season, Jimmie Hall of the Twins hit the 75,000th home run recorded in the Mayor Leagues since 1960 . . . Satchel Paige is supposed to be 58 and supposed to be still pitching with a barnstorming outfit . . . Decatur hasn’t beaten Garrett in football in 11 years! Memo to Charles O. (stands for oh, be quiet) Finley: Please, please make good your threat — sell the team, we dare you.

Bombing Bird Boog Bounces Back; Cardinals Are Too Little, Too Late

By FRED DOWN DPI Sports Writer The Baltimore ’’cop" is back on the beat. The “cop" is John (Boog) Powell, the Moot, 4-inch, 235pound outfielder who has been the big stick of the Orioles since the start of the American League season. He's back swinging that stick again after being sidelined with a wrist injury Aug. 20 to make it that much tougher for either the Chicago White Sox or New York Yankees to steal the flag. Powell has played in four games since returning to the lineup Sept. 6 and the figures speak for themselves. He’s made seven hits in 13 at bats, smashed three homers and knocked in five runs. Result: The Orioles have won three of the four games. Powell represented nearly all the offense the Orioles had Wednesday night when they split a doubleheader with the Washington Senators — winning 6-3 and losing 4-3 — to pick up a half-game on both pursuers. Ttfy are now a full game ahead of the White Sox and games ahead of the Yankees. Hit Two Homers Powell hit a pair of two-run, 400-foot homers in the first game, driving in four runs and pacing Dave McNally to his eighth win of the season and he had three singles in the second game before ex-Oriole Willie Kirkland broke it up with a ninth-inning homer. Steve Barber, who struck out 13 batters, suffered his 13*h loss in the nightcap as Claude Osteen limited the Orioles to seven hits in winning his 13th game. With his .538 batting average since returning to the lineup, Powell has increased his homer total to 34 and bls runs bat-; ted in total to 85. The Minnesota Twins topped the White Sox 5-2, the Detroit Tigers blanked the Yankees 4-0, and the Boston Red Sox edged out the Cleveland Indians 6-5 in innings in the other AL action. Piiarro Takes Loss Bob Allison tripled home two nips and scored a third on a sacrifice fly by Jimmie Ball as thk Twins rocked 17-garfe . ynner Juan Pizarro for three ttajs in the third Inning and went on to hand the White Sox their third straight loss. Jim Grant pitched a six-hitter and walked only one in scoring his 13th victory against 10 losses. The Tigers snapped the Yankees’ five-game winning streak behind the five-hit pitching of Mickey Lolich, who hurled his third straight shutout and raised his record to 16-7. Whitey Ford matched zeroes with Lolich until the seventh when the Tigers scored all their runs on singles by Gates Brown, George Thomas and Dick McAuliffe and Don Wert’s three-run homer. Lolich struck out 12 to win his seventh straight game and stretch his string of storeless innings to 27. Carl Yastrzemski hit a tworun 10th inning homer off Ted Abernathy to give Red Sox relief ace Dick Radatz his 14th win against eight losses. Al Smith also homered for the Red Sox while Fred Whitfield and Woody Held connected for the Indians. National League ifhe St. Louis Cardinals are their long-waited pennant run but the odds and National League history suggest it’s too little, too late. Only a year ago the Cardinals staged a spectacular drive of 19 victories in 20 games that carried them to withiri one game of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 16. Then the pressure told and the Cardinals lost three straight games to the Dodgers and faded out of the race. , Now it’s the Philadelphia Phillies whom the Cardinals are chasing—chasing with a string of four consecutive victories and 13 wins in their last 16 games which have reduced their deficit to five games. They’ve cut six full games off the Phillies' lead in two weeks but their moment of truth is not yet at hand—only in sight. The Cardinals cut another full game off the Phillies’ lead when they beat the front-runners 10-5 in 11 innings Wednesday night while the Pittsburgh Pirates were defeating the thirdplace Cincinnati Reds 4-1 and the Los Angeles Dodgers were pounding out an 8-1 triumph over the. fourth-place San Francisco Giants. And so, as the National League countdown continues, the Phillies lead the Cardinals by five games and both the Reds and Giants by six games. The Cardinals scored two runs

in the ninth inning to tie the score and then poured across five runs in the 11th to give Bob Humphreys his second big league win. Singles by Curt Flood and Lou Brock, who had five hits, and Bill White’ double broke the tie. Singles by Ken Boyer and Dick Groat and an error by Richie Allen completed the rally. Brock’s five hits led a 20-hit attack that also included three hits by Boyer and two each by White, Julian Javier and Tim McCarver. Ruben Amaro had three hits for the Phillies, Jim Pagliaroni’s two-run double was the big blow of a fourth inning in which the Pirates

Phillies Lose teas, Gain Vic Power PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — A disconsolate Frank Thomais stared numbly at his sore thumb which stood out like a sore thumb and muttered: “It’s just not in the books.” Tjiat was the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman’s reply to when he would be back in action with the National League leaders. There was woe reflected in every line of his face. The right thumb was brpken, a clean crack near the base. The X-rays said so. Dr. John Royal Moore at Temple University Hospital said so. And Thom as, plunging his ar m up to the elbow in a tub of ice, said so. He had no other choice. It’s broken, and nothing we can say will change it,” Thomas said in soft bitterness. The injury, a blow to the Phillies, come in the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game with Los Angeles. Thomas was on second base when Alex Johnson rapped ‘ sharply to Maury Wills, who put the tag on Thomas scrambling back to second. The thumb was jammed and the > break was discovered at the hospital Wednesday. It came when Thomas was fattening both himself and the Phillies after an illness-plagued early season with the New York Mets. A glandular infection and an* arm injury kept him out of the New York lineup for weeks. Then he came to the Phils on Aug. 6 in a complicated trade for righthanded batting power to overcome the lefthanded pitching which had the Phils reeling. He hit seven home runs and 10 doubles, batted in 26 runs. The Phils were 19-20 against southpaws when he joined the club. They won seven and lost four against lefties until he was hurt. The Phils obtained Vic Power, righthanded hitting, sli c k fielding first baseman of the Los Angeles Angels to* replace Thomas. They bought the Puerto Rican-born Power for a price they said was in excess of the waiver tag and an undisclosed player to be announced on or before Oct. 15.

scored all their runs. Bob Veale was tagged for 13 hits in 8 2-3 innings but scored his 16th win against 10 losses. Chico Ruiz had three hits for the Reds, whose Joey Jay lost his 11th decision. Willie Davis’ grand slam homer paced an eight-hit Dodger attack that enabled Don Drysdale to raise his record to 17-13. Frank Howard and Tommy Davis also homered for the Dodgers while Willie Mays had two of the Giants’ five hits. The Milwaukee Braves whipped the New York Mets 7-4 and the Chicago Cubs beat the Houston Colts 6-3 in other NL action.

Joe Torre drove in four runs with two doubles and a single and Rico Carty and Felipe Alou had two hits each as the Braves backed Tony Cloninger’s four-hit pitching with a 10-hit attack. Cloninger raised his record to 16-12 while Galen Cisco lost his 16th decision against five wins. Jimmy Stewart’s two-run seventh inning single paved the way for Dick Ellsworth to win his 14th game and tagged Houston's Dick Farrell with his eighth loss.
