Dave Johnson was considered to have committed the biggest crimeof the evening by saying during the Orioles’ three-run rally in the ninth that he “hoped Boog Poweli would end the rally.” Johnson said he uttered the statement because he was too tired to bat and didn’t want to get up. In other AL games, Kansas City blanked Detroit, 3-0; Oakland edged Boston, 3-2; New York beat California, 6-1; Washington shut cut Milwaukee, 2-0, and Minnesota edged Cleveland, 4-2.

Russell, who has six straight losses over the last two and a half years and an overall record of 11-8-2, would probably like to forget the eveningif he could remember it. Foreman knocked down the 23-year-old Russell midway through the first round. Russell got up but was trapped in a corner and went down again just before the referee stepped in to halt the bout after 2.:29. “I can’t remember that he ever hit me,” said Russell, who weighed only 188 pounds compared to 220 for Foreman. “T always start slow and I was ByUnited Press International just warmingup for the second National League round.It seemed like he pushed G.

National Football League club owners get a chance to present Hefeels as if he’s way down their side of the case today when they meetto review their position in the contract dispute with the league's Players Association. the amount of money the owners will contribute to the players’ pension fund over the next four years, is threatening cancellation of the annual College All-Star game set for July 31 at Chicago. The owners have locked out all veteran players from the respective training camps until the dispute is settled and the team most seriously affected thus far is the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs who are scheduled to oppose the All tars. Chiefs’ Coach Hank Stram has said his club would need at least one week of workouts in order to be ready to play but he denied any plans to pull out of the gameif the dispute is not settled by the end of this week. John Mackey, president of the players association, revealed that pro football Commissioner Pete Rozelle met with the association Monday, but, according to the Colts’ tight end, “it was more in the nature of feeling out, the situation.” A league spokesman revealed later in the day that Rozelle also met with the owners and then sat in on a joint session of financial advisors from both sides to clarify the figures underdiscussion. The players and owners have not held negotiations for over a week,but in an effort to get the talks ‘moving again,the players have asked for and been granted a meeting with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service in Washington Wednesday night. The owners have been invited to attend the mediation session but they have not indicated whether they will be there.

(UPI)— Spokane’s Tom Paciorek and Jerry Stevenson combined efforts to give the Spokane Indians a tough 3-2 victory over Salt Lake City. Stevenson picked up his 11th win of the season as he spaced only six hits. Salt Lake’s two runs came in the second when Jim Williams hit his sixth homer of the season with a mate aboard. A great diving catch by Paciorek in right field wiped out a threatened rally in the third and he then made another fine catch in the ninth. Paciorek hit his 13th home Tun of the seasonin the sixth to tie the game. The Indians then won it in the seventh when BobStinson opened with a dou- ble and then scored on Dick McLaughlin’s pinchhitsingle. The second largest crowd of the season, 7,329, saw the Indians take a two-to-onelead in the five gameseries. Probabie starters Tuesday are Ross for Salt Lake and Sandy Vanve for Spokane. Hawaii moved seven games up on Phoenix in the south as the Islanders rocked Tacoma 12-8 with an 18-hit attack that featured five Chuck Vinson singles. Dennis Bennett has been sharper but still moved to his 15th win—topsin the league. Phoenix continued to fall back as Portland took the 4-2 win, Bernie Smith’s three-run homer turned that one around. Tucson, which has played good ua’after a terrible start, moved to within 4 1-2 games of the once high-flying Phoenix team with a 4-3 10-inning win over Eugene.

The thing that frustrates Mackey so much is that the players keep setting forth their proposals and the owners keep right on ignoring them. This has produceda stalemate which has resulted in a walkoutof all players, except the rookies, at the 26 training camps. No One Answers “We have offered to let the commumissivu(Pete Rozelle) be the final arbiter but we have gottennoanswer,” Mackey says. “We have submitted other proposals to which there have been no answer. Basically, this whole thing is over the pension fund. We're asking the owners to improve the structure of the players’ fund and the level of benefits so as to bring it on a par with those in other sports. They saythe revenue from TV cannot be expected to keep going up forever. Okay. We've taken that into consideration. We've reduced our requests other than the one involving the pension, but the problem we've had is that no one has answered, Did it ever strike the players that maybe they were being unreasonable in their demands? Mackey drew back at that question. “Tf we're being the slightest bit unreasonable, all we are Pacific Coast League Standings asking the owrers is please tell By United Press International us where and why?” he said. “T’ve seen wherethey called us unreasonable. They never tell Northern Divisio 1 pet. gb us specifically where we're 60 40 .600 — unreasonable though.” Spokane 48 51 485 11 Compare Pensions Portland 41 58 414 18% Compare the football players’ Eugene 3367 330 27 pension of $360 a month at age Tacoma 65 with the $618 a month Western Division baseball players get at the w | pet. gb same age.
