Homers Help Braves Sweep Twin Bill From Giants Win First on Mathews Yankees Rookie Three-Run Belt! Beats Baltimore 3-1 Oliver Paces Second Game With Similar Blast Into Stands SAN FRANCISCO (AP)-Ifs too bad the Milwaukee Braves can't play more double-headers. They seem to thrive on double duty as members of a nonunion profession without overtime benefits. The Braves swept their seventh twin bill of the season in jolting the San Francisco ants' pennant hopes 5-4 and 10-2 Sunday before a stunned Mathews crowd of 40,713 at Candlestick Park. A pair of three run homers, by Eddie Math By TFIK ASSOCIATj PHKSS Mel Stottlcmyre made his second vital start Sunday for the New York Yankees during Flag Fortnight, and came off with his second victory. This time the 22-ycar-old right- whipped the league-leading Baltimore Orioles 3-1.

That moved the Yankees to within 2 games of the Orioles, and started Manager Yogi Berra talking pennant. A misjudged outfield fly I helped the Yankees to their first I two runs in the gam2, and a double case of the outfield staggers figured in the 2-1 victory the Chicago White Sox scored over the Red Sox at Boston.

Oliver ews in the first game and by Gene Oliver in the nightcap, powered the Milwaukee sweep which dropped the second place Giants games behind the National League leading Philadelphia Phillies. Giants Bell 5 Homers Despite the losses, the Giants displayed an awesome show of power, belting five homers in Uie two games. They hit four in the opener, but all came with the bases empty. Frank Lary, veteran hander recently obtained from the New Yori: Mets, made his debut with the Braves and earned the victory in the opener with help from Bob Tiefenauer. Lary was the victim of Willie Mays' 36th and 37th homers and Willie McCovey's 18th in the first three innings before he settled down.

Mathews Homers The Braves got two of the back in the fourth on by Ed Bailey and Joe Torre, a double by Felipe Alou and iny Menke's sacrifice fly. In the seventh, Menke cached first on an error and like de la Hoz singled as a )inchhitter for Lary. Mathews ihen unloaded his 18th homer of the season and Tiefenauer checked the Giants in the last three innings except for a homer by Orlando Cepeda. Braves Take Lead Oliver had only one of Milwaukee's 14 hits in the nightcap, but it was a big one as it highlighted a four-run third against former teammate Bob Hendley. A double by Menke and singles by Mathews and Alou preceded Oliver's ninth homer into the left field bleachers.

The Braves added four more runs in the seventh and one each in the eighth and ninth in completing the rout. Tony Cloninger breezed to his 12th victory against 11 defeats as he hurled a seven-hitter. Hendley's record dropped to 10-8. Idle Tonight The Braves finished 1964 play in San Francisco with a 4-5 record. They are 7-6 overall with the Giants, with five games remaining in Milwaukee.

Aaron has filled in at second for an inning or two occasionally in past years, but ho had not started a game at the position since 1955. Although far from a polished second baseman, Aaron handled seven chances cleanly before he ended both games in his familiar spot in right. At bat, he collected only two hits in nine "ip- pearanccs. Manager Bobby Bragan indicated that he will continue to start Aaron at second now that Felipe Alou is healthy again.

With Alou in the outfield with Lee Maye and Rico Carty and Aaron at second, the Braves have additional punch in the lineup. Aaron began his pro career as a minor league shortstop in 1952. He played base the year in the minors, but has played right field virtually all the time since he joined the Braves in 1954.

Cronin May Call Meeting BOSTON (AP) American League President Joe Cronin is the next batter due in the controversial sale of the New York Yankees to CBS baseball's hottest topic from capitol hill to the dugouts. Cronin said he will decide to- 'day whether to call a league meeting as requested by Arthur AUyn, president of the Chicago i White Sox. AUyn contends the telegraphic vote which approved 8-2 the sale of 80 per cent of Yankee stock to CBS, violates the league constitution. Meanwhile, Rep. Emmanuel Cellcr, D-NY, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said in Washington the transaction may run afoul of the Celler- Kefauver antitrust act.

Dr. Frank Stanton, president of CBS, replied CBS had been advised by counsel before undertaking negotiations "that the acquisition would in no way violate the antitrust laws, including the Celler-Kefauver act." An American League spokesman likewise says its plan to take a telegraphic vote as requested by the Yankees was given the legal green light by Ben Fiery, the league's attorney and "the foremost authority on the American League constitution." Gazette photo JANESVILLE CHAMPION AND PRO GREAT Janesville all-city champion Jan Hoffman (left) and touring pro great Jack Nicklaus wait while member of their foursome tees off on the ninth hole at the Beloit Country Club Sunday during Nicklaus' 18-hole exhibition round with area standouts. Nicklaus shot a three-under par 68 and Hoffman was only one stroke behind. Local Golf Champion Shines in Exhibition With Nicklaus Jr Janesville Daily Gazette Page 12 Monday, Aug. 17, 1964 in the LAND OF BLACKHAWK George S.3achay "I don'l know much about certainly was good of you to explain this seventh inning stretch!" Legion Forfeits 2 Games FORT ATKINSON Janesville's American Legion baseball team forfeited a doubleheader to Fort Atkinson Saturday afternoon.

The two forfeit wins ended the season. The team had a record of seven wins and nine defeats. BELOIT Widely heralded Jack Nicklaus showed Southern Wisconsin golf fans how to play the game Sunday in an 18-hold exhibition at the Beloit Country Club. He had to shoot a three- under par 68 to stave off the challenge of Janesville's Jan Hoffman and Beloit's Jerry Thom.as. Nicklaus fired two sub-par nines of 34-34 to edge Hoffman and Thomas, both of whom had 69s.

The fourth player. Gene Ra- dette of Rockford, finished with a 74. Par is A large crowd followed the foursome around the wind-swept course and were treated to some of Nicklaus' well-known booming tee shots which often reached the 300-yard mark. Thomas, who now is pro at the Edgerton Towne Club after being Beloit City champion seven years, had the distinction of outdriving the international star on No. 12.

Nicklaus and Thomas are big and powerful. Hoffman is slender and a golf stylist. It was Hoffman, Janesville city titlist for the past three Women often ask, "Docs a fish feel pain?" while they remove a hook from a fish. No, at least not in the sense that you would experience pain. Biologists tell us that the fish's nervous system is poorly developed and organized, and evidence seems to indicate that a hooked fish experiences discomfort rather than actual pain.

Every time an angler opens his tackle box to choose a gaudy lure he inevitably asks, "can fish distinguish colors?" Experiments show that fish can distinguish easily between widely separated colors, and many are capable of discriminating between closely related colors. For this reason it's a good idea to change lures of different colors until you learn which color they prefer on that particular day. If tackle manufacturers knew what color was best to catch fish at all times they would paint all their lures the same color. It has been proved, however, that black is the best for fishing after dark. Why do fish jump? There are many reasons.

Small fish, including minnows, are often seen jumping or skipping out of the water to escape bigger fish. All fish jump to capture food on the surface, to rid themselves of external parasites, or to throw off bothersome hooks. Sometimes fish even jump to play. Plays 75 Holes on 75th Birthday INSTER, Calif. (AP)-On his 50th birthday, Henry Maurer of Westminster shot 50 holes of golf.

He was 75 Sunday and, at daybreak, he was out on the Willowick golf course. By 11:30 a.m., he had played 54 holQs. He look a break, then shot 21 more. He walked all the way and used the same ball and the same club, a 3-iron. His score wasn't reported but an observer said he saw Maurer birdie several holes.

Lake Geneva Fish kies sleep during the night and are more active during the day. In contrast, walleyes, black bass, catfish, bullheads, crappies and white bass seem to be active night or day, so apparently they take time out to sleep or rest often. Big fish spend most of their time resting, waiting for food to come within striking range. For this reason you must move around to locate them. White bass and crappies are biting on Lake Geneva at night.

The photo shows Mrs. Melvin Hansen (Lil) and her nephew Tom Lidwell with 65 white bass and 6 crappies all caught on minnows. "Mel, Tom and I caught these fi.sh in about 30 feet of water," Lil said. "It was a beautiful quiet night with no moon. We went out about 10:30 p.m.

and came in at 12:30. Tom from Summeth, 111., and is here on vacation." Do fish sleep? Since fish don't have eyelids, they don't appear to be sleeping, but observations reveal that they do rest regularly. Some lie on their side on the bottom, or rest up against objects, and some merely remain motionless while supcnded in the water to rest.

Professional Manuel de la Torre of Milwaukee, four times state Open winner; and Tommy Veech, Menomonee Falls pro and winner of the Open three times, were rated co-favorites. Bobby Brue of Milwaukee, the 1963 champion, is a pro at Chicago and ineligible for the Wisconsin event. De la Torre won the in 1952, '53, '55 and '61. Veech collected $1,960 for a tie for fifth place in the recent Western Open in Chicago. Other top contenders include Jim Milward of thrice the champion; state ama -i Coach Vince Lombardi's job Mel Hansen, at Hansen's Pier, Williams Bay, mentioned that fishermen must have their own red and green lights for the boat when fishing at night.

Many anglers are disappointed to learn that boats at liveries are not equipped with running lights. It's a good idea to take along your own boat cushions (life preserv. ers) as well as portable boat lights when you go to rent a boat anywhere.

ER BB SO 2 2 3 4 TIME OUTl "Your hair as soft as a fairway, your eyes like two deep water hazards, your teeth as while as a new ball By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Philadelphia Phillies lost a single game, the San Francisco Giants lost a double-header. But a big loser Sunday was Curt he had eight hits. While the National League's leading contenders were taking it on the chin. Flood was hitting the ball on the nose for the St.

Louis Cardinals and threatening a record that was set when Baltimore was in the National League 70 Flood years ago. On Sept. 3, 1894, Baltimore outfielder Joe Kelley collected nine consecutive hits against Cleveland. Flood, 26-yearold er, collected four hits as the Cardinals bowed to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Sandy Koufax 3- 0 in the opener of a double-header and reached the ninth inning of St. Louis' 4-0 nightcap triumph with a string of eight conisecutive hits.

Fanned 9th Time Flood, however, lost his opportunity by striking out against Ron Perranoski. Flood, however, did become the first National Leaguer since Stan Rojok of Pittsburgh In 1948 to collect eight hits in a doubleheader. His four hits against Koufax also ranked among the top performances of the season. Koufax hurled a three-hitter against the rest of the Cardinals as he posted his seventh shutout and 19th victory of the season, striking out 13 and lowering his earned run average to a league- leading 1.74. Mcts Beat Phils The Phillies, meanwhile, were bombarded by the New York Mets 12-4 but still stretched their lead to games over the second-place Giants, who dropped a double-header to Milwaukee 5-4 and 10-2.

In other NL action, Chicago's Cubs defeated Pittsburgh 5-4 before the Pirates took the second game 7-4 and Cincinnati belted Houston 8-3. Is Batting .302 Flood slammed a triple, two doubles and five singles against the Dodgers, collecting four hits in a game for the fifth and sixth time this season while lifting his average from .291 to 302. Koufax, now 19-5, moved two days ahead of his 1963 pace when he won 25 games, tied Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees and Dean Chance of the Los Angeles Angels for the most shutouts In tlie majors and struck out 10 or more batters for the 61st time in his career. The Dodgers scored twice in the fifth on two walks and singles by John Roseboro and Dick "Tracewski before Tommy Davis wrapped it up with a sixth inning homer. Cisco Is Winner Bobby Klaus led the Mets' 17- hit attack against the Phillies with four singles.

He triggered a two-run first and started a three-run second and that proved enough. Galen Cisco, touched for homers by Richie Allen and John Hernistein won it for a 5-13 record. Frank Robinson's two-run homer off Ken Joluison was the big blow for the Reds while Joey Jay checked the Colts on six hits for a 9-8 record. "thrills on the front nine with fine 33, and the gallery, many of them from Janesville, were rooting for Hoffman to stay with Nicklaus. Hoffman Gets Hot Hoffman equalled Nicklaus' best the first four holes, then fell a stroke behind on the fifth.

Then the little Janesville standout got hot. He birdied the next three holes, sinking long putts on 6 and 7 and holing a lO-footer on the No. 8. However, he bog' eyed the 405-yard par 4 No. 9.

Even so, he finished a stroke ahead of Nicklaus for the nine. Nicklaus caught Hoffman on No. 12 and went ahead on No. 14. Hoffman could have evened matters on No.

15. but had his only lapse of the day in putting when he blew a three-footer. Moments later Nicklaus missed an even shorter one. It would have been even more interesting had Hoffman not pulled some of his tee shots into trouble. Ho often found himself with trees to shoot over, through or under.

But he was tough to beat around the greens. Thomas rallied on the last few holes and made some excellent approach He also had driver trouble and had a little putting difficulty. Radette, former Illinois state and Rockford champion, was defeated in extra holes in the Rockford City meet in the morning, and the strain of the day showed in his game. Hits Long Drives Nicklaus, before the 18-hole round, gave an exhibition of shots ranging from accurate wedge approaches to drives of 300 yards and more in length. He illustrated intentional hooks and slices and gave the reasons why so many "Sunday" golfers hit thom.

He amazed the crowd with 2-iron shots of about 230 yards. The former Ohio State University star proved most congenial during the exhibition, answering the gallery's questions with humor, and he talked to the crowd during the round. He often asked young boys sitting around the gi'een which way his putt was going to break. Women's Amateur Golf Tournament. "These girls are worried about what will happen if the wind comes up," said pro Ross Wilson of the Prairie Dunes Country Club.

"They've been practicing in calm weather this weekend. But Kansas is noted for its winds and I expect it to come up out of the Southwest any time now." Of 101 players entered, 20 have withdrawn. The 1951 tourney attracted 79 entries andj since then the list has ranged from 100 to 195. Qualifying will be through 36 holes ending Tuesday, with the low 32 scorers going into match- play competition Wednesday. The 36-hole championship match will be played Saturday.

Veech and pro Tommy Puis of Barron topped the field with three under par 68s in tuneups Sunday for the state test. Dadian and amateur Carl Waystedt each had 69. The pro-am event was won by Milward, Bob Johnson, Clarence Bethke and George OIney with a best ball score of 61.

Carol Sorenson, Janesville star, is among the entrants. Last year she reached the semifinals of the National at Williamstown, Mass. Miss Sorenson's major victory this season was the Trans Mississippi Tournament at Phoenix, Ariz. She did not defend the Wisconsin Women's championship, passing it up to play in the Western at Oak Park, 111. She was among the low qualifiers and advanced to the Western quarterfinals before being eliminated.

Hornung, under suspension throughout the 1963 National Football League season, sparkled in his 1964 home exhibition debut before 42,327 well-wishers Saturday night, leading the Packers past the sputtering New York Giants 34-10. Hornung, three time NFL scoring champion, had a hand in 16 of his team's points against the injury-depleted Giants, who played the Packers even in the first half but fell apart in the last 30 minutes. Hornung tossed a 56-yard scoring pass to Boyd Dowler on the halfback option, converted after each of the Packers' four touchdowns and kicked a pair of field goals. High Scoring Games The Notre Dame alumnus wasn't the only pro to make his points in week-end action involving National and American League teams.

The Cleveland Browns led a Saturday night offensive binge, routing the Los Angeles Rams 56-31 in an NFL exhibition behind the passing of Frank Ryan and Jim Ninowski.

Stung by the 20-7 upset by St. Louis in the opener of the National Football League's exhibition season, the Packers roared back and belted the New York Giants Saturday night in the fourth annual Bishop's Charities game before a sellout crowd of 42,327.

3-3 at Half The Packers' offense was sluggish In the fu-st half, which ended in a 3-3 standoff. But quarterback Bart Starr rallied his charges for a touchdown on an 87-yard march in the third quarter to put Green Bay in front to stay. The Packers then turned the game into a rout by exploding for 24 points in the final period as they posted their eighth straight victory over the Giants in all meetings since 1960. Paul Hornung, who sat out the 1963 season under suspension made a triumphant return home, although he netted a mere six yards in seven carries. The Golden Boy flashed his old scoring touch, piling up 10 points.

Boots Two Field Goals Hornung booted field goals from 17 and 30 yards out and added four conversions. He also came off the bench briefly in the fourth quarter and tossed a 56-yard touchdown pass to Boyd Dowler while working the halfback option to perfection. Other standouts included defensive tackle Dave Hanner, a 13-year veteran with the Packers; reserve fullback Frank Mestnik and Zeke Bratkowski, Starr's understudy, Hanner, who sat out the game against St. Louis, was tremendous as the Packers held the Giants to 64 yards by rushing. In addition to bowling over ball carriers and piling up blockers, he recovered two fumbles.

Mestnik Surprised Starter Hanner's second recovery came on the Green Bay 13 in the third period. Starr then directed the Packers downfield. He hit Dowler, Ron Kramer and McGee with key passes In setting up Mestnik for a seven- yard touchdown burst. Mestnik, a sui'prise starter, was a workhorse as he carried 18 times for 78 yards.
