C. officials, headed by five Congressmen, told major league baseball today it "must" put another team in the nation's capital to replace the departed Washington Senators by the start of the 1973 season. "We impressed upon them the necessity of returning baseball to Washington and we left it up to them how to do it," said Rep. B.

F. Sisk The delegation, which said in its bid to the top officials of the game was received in a "friendly manner," arrived in Phoenix late last night and were closeted with Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn and other baseball officials until 1:30 a.m. (MST). "There are three ways by which a new team could be found for Washington," said Rep. Frank Horton (R-NY).

"The first would be through expansion of the major leagues; the second would be for a present big league owner to move a currently existing team to Washington. The third would be for a group in Washington to purchase a team and move it. Senior tennis tourney opens in La Jolla LA JOLLA (UPI)-Top- seeded Bobby Riggs of Plandome, N. beat La Jolla's Bob Hagey 6-7, 6-1, 6-2 Tuesday in the first day of play in the National Senior Hardcourt tennis championships. Sweden's Torsten Johansson, second seeded, failed to appear and defaulted.

Third-seeded Sam Match of Beverly Hills beat George Thomas, Imperial Beach, 6-3, 6-1, and Emery Neale, Portland, fourth seeded in the six day event, defeated Kenneth Root, Fresno, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0. Lightweight title rematch sought "We told them we are prepared to do it any one of those three ways, "Horton said. "We left it up to them how they will do it." Spokesmen for the group which also included Washington Mayor Walter Washington, said the group, "impressed on the baseball people that this must be done, that the majority of the Congress insists that it be done." The delegation was asked whether its insistence that the return of baseball to Washington "must" be accomplished was accompanied by any threat of congressional action, such as a review of baseball's status under the anti-trust laws. "We did not go into that," Sisk said. "We simply indicated what had to be done." Sports DAILY FACTS, Redtands, Calif.

Wednesday, December 12 First Dalton deal Twins trade Cardenas for Angels' La Roche being MEXICO CITY (UPI) -A Los Angeles promoter wants to stage a rematch for the World Boxing Commission version of the vacant world lightweight title, according to WBC president Ramon G. Velazquez of Mexico. Velazquez said George Parnassus had offered the contenders for the title, Mando Ramos of Los Angeles and Pedro Carrasco of Spain, $65,000 each for another 15-round bout. In their last encounter in Madrid, Ramos was disqualified for a low blow by a Nigerian referee despite having floored Carrasco four times. The WBC has so far failed to confirm Carrasco as its new world light-weight title vacant after stripping Scotland's Ken Buchanan of the crown for fighting Panama's Ismael Laguna instead of Carrasco.

Buchanan is still recognized by the rival World Boxing Association (WBA). Velazquez said Parnassus had confirmed his offer to Carrasco and Ramos through telegrams to both fighters and to the WBC. PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPD-The Minnesota Twins, who figure they lost "25 or 30" games this year in the last two innings, gave up 33-year-old shortstop Leo Cardenas Tuesday to obtain from the California Angels "The best left handed relief pitcher in the American League," 23-year-old Dave LaRoche. The Angels immediately announced that the acquisition of Hawaii coach plans nothing new Saturday HONOLULU (UPI) University of Hawaii football coach Dave Holmes says he will not use any special plays Saturday against top-ranked Nebraska.

Holmes, who has led the Rainbows to a 7-3 record, including a 28-21 upset over New Mexico last week, "We'll just try to do the kind of things we know how to do best things we've been working on all year do them better than ever before." All-Indian cage tourney to open CHENEY, Wash. (UPI) pow wow and war dance will highlight and all-Indian basketball tournament sponsored by the Indian Education Program at Eastern Washington State College Dec. 4-5. Virgil Gunn, counselor-tutor at the EWSC Indian Long House, said all games will beplayed in the EWSC Memorial Fieldhouse and eight teams will participate in the double elimination tournament. Beside Eastern, teams from the University of Washington, Washington State University, Eastern Oregon State, Green River community College, a team of Nez Perce from Lapwai, Idaho, a team of Coeur D'Alena Indians from Pulm- mer, Idaho and a Spokane team sponsored by the Buck and Doe Tavern will participate.

Cardenas makes six time all star Jim Fregosi available for trade during the winter baseball meetings in progress here. That was interesting news to a number of clubs, among them the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and San Francisco Giants all of whom are interested in Fregosi either for shortstop or third base. Cardenas was the first player to be acquired by the Angels' new general manager, Harry Dalton, the man who had so much to do with building the Baltimore Orioles into one of the top powers in the American League. It was not a move designed to start any "youth movement but to provide the Angels with a stable, solid infield for the next two years while the youth program gets under way. "We got Cardenas to play shortstop and I see him as our shortstop for the next year and the year after that," said Dalton.

"That means I can move Fregosi to first base or third base or trade him. Several clubs have discussed Fregosi with me, and now I'm going to find out what the best deal is that I can make for him." Dalton listed as his primary trading targets "a catcher, an outfielder, and a relief now, since we have had to give up LaRoche, a left- handed relief pitcher." However, the Angels' GM stressed that his needs are so many that he is simply interested in "the best players I can acquire now regardless of position." Bill Rigney, manager of the Twins, was the man who called LaRoche, who had a 5-1 record this year, "the best left-handed relief pitcher in the American League" and he explained that shoring up the bullpen was the biggest need of the club that failed to lead the A.L. West this year for the first time in three seasons. ABA standings ED BREYER formerly of De Graaf's Now Serving You At IHANKGERNER Service For People Who Care 604 N.

The Lakers, who lead the NBA's Pacific Division by 5 games, carry a 20-3 record into their second meeting of the season with the Celtics.

Coach Bill Sharman's new fast-breaking club beat the Celtics 128-115 at Los Angeles Nov. 14. The Lakers became the first NBA team ever to go undefeated in a in a whipping the Seattle Supersonics 138-121, their third triumph over the divisional favorites in four tries this season. Sharman, the old-time Celtic, is not talking about the Bucks' record of 20 straight set last season. "It's only natural for any team to hit a slump," he said.

"But I will say that if we stay healthy we should win our division and have a lot of victories. But it's too early to think about a championship." Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West, two Lakers who were supposed to be too old, have been the keys this season. While Gail Goodrich has supplanted West as the Lakers' top scorer with a 25.3 average, the veteran guard from West Virginia has been the catalyst. With West in the lineup, Los Angeles has compiled an 18-0 record. The Lakers were 2-3 with their ace backcourt performer sidelined with an ankle sprain.

He is averaging 22 points a game. Chamberlain has averaged only 12.8 points but his rebounding (20.4 a contest) and his defense have been almost impeccable. After Sunday night's convincing win over the Supersonics, Chamberlain said: "Let me inforrn you that Sharman has done a fantastic job. Not one of those 14 games could have gone the other way. Most of them were so one-sided that it scares me and it's all happened because we're playing great team ball.

It's Sharman's game." To tie the Milwaukee record, the Lakers they win have to beat Philadelphia, Portland, Houston, Golden State and Phoenix. They're at Philadelphia Friday night and play Portland at home Sunday night. NBA standings Eastern Conference Atlantic Division W. L. Pet.
