When he was asked to go a couple of innings, Art didn't have the heart to refuse, even though he could not put forth his best effort.

Mahaffey was the losing pitcher as he gave up two home runs, but that was nothing compared to how serious things would have been if he had injured his arm. The Phillies would be battling to stay out of ninth place without Mahaffey, and he is the solid man of their pitching staff of the future. i It should not take a crippling the player representatives are games and night games on getaway days. Apparently, they figure they will bargain on the same items again. Even if the schedule is set up to allow a day off before the game, as is done before the first All-Star Game, there is no valid excuse for the second contest.

It's time baseball owners and players stopped looking at such matters in terms of dollar signs, and viewed them from the standpoint of the long-range good of the game. If anything more was needed ond contest was first played in had not had the proper amount injury to a star player to make baseball see the light. Despite confident they can bargain their way into a repeat game in 1963. "Despite what you may hear oi" read," said Phillies' player representative Dallas Green, "I'm confident we'll continue to play two games." The owners agreed to the plan for this season because the players agreed to approve some against the rules scheduling, to convince the owners that ma jor league baseball's second All 1959 in Los Angeles, there may have been a sound financial rea of rest between assignments.

The league-lead ing Yanks are now six games ahead of Los Angeles. A first-inning bases-loaded homer by Bill Skowron and two-run blow by Elston Howard in the third were more than enough to give Bill Stafford his ninth win of the year and the Yankees their 23d victory against eight defeats during July. NATS' RALLY TOO LATE Stafford collected two doubles and drove in two runs himself but was driven out during a four run eighth-inning Washington rally. Jim Coates, the third Yankee hurlcr of the inning, put out the fire.

Skowron's grand slam in the first was his 16th homer of the year. It came off starter Claude Osteen. Howard clipped Osteon for his 11th homer in the third with Roger Maris aboard. STAFFORD BATS IN 2 Stafford drove in two more in the sixth with his first double. He lost his shutout in the same inning when he walked Jim Pier-sail and gave up a double to John Schaive.

In the eighth, Washington reached Stafford and Roland Sheldon for a walk and four straight hits, including doubles by Schaive and Chuck Hinton, to pick up three runs. But Coates ended the inning by forcing Chuck Cottier to hit into a double play.

It's the one spot most likely to be filled by a first-year man since three robust rookies are in the forefront of a torrid scrap. They are Pete Case, former Georgia captain who was selected on the second round of the college draft: Bill Byrne, fourth draft choice from Boston College, and Bob Butler, Kentucky star who was a ninth-round selection two years ago. RIGGER SIX FOOTERS All three are rugged char acters, standing six feet or tall er and ranging in weight from 230 te 240.

All have the required nimbleness afoot and the strength and desire needed for rough infighting. They've already convinced the coaches they're a shade or so better than the usual run of candidates. Their scramble is being watch ed with more than usual interest because the position holds the key to the much desired improve-ment of the offensive line. Originally, it was believed that Jim Schrader, 252-pound, seven- year veteran center obtained from Washington, might plug the gap at right guard. But Schrader has two old leg ailments that would prevent the quick moves and fast lateral action required at guard, so the ex-Redskin star is being allowed to concentrate all his efforts at center, where he'll attempt to dislodge holdover Howard Keys.

ALL THREE IMPRESS Coach Nick Skorich has been impressed with the spirited manner in which Case, Byrne and Butler have been handling the rushes of the huge defensive linemen in the line scrimmages. But he hesitates to single out any one at this early date. 'I like the way they're goins at it," he says. "They've shown me they like to hit and that they want to make this club. One day Byrne appears to have an edge.

But then the next day it's Case or Butler. None has yet been con sistently outstanding. But I'm hoping that one of them will prove that he can do the job we want. "We must have a strong right guard if we're to have 'an improved line and the kind of running game I want and expect. it necessary, we 11 have to go out and get an experienced man to fill the position.

Sixteen-year-old Robyo Johnson, of North Virginia SC, again bettered two existing women's international records in Japan as the visiting American swimmers dominated an exhibition meet Tuesday in their final appearance in this country.

Both major leagues are play ing 162 games this season, the National League adopting this number for the first time with its expansion to 10 clubs. The 1963 schedule will open April 8 and close Sept. 29. President Warren Giles, of the National League, said that also discussed was a 150-game sched tile, but it was passed for the 162 game slate. Giles said the sched ule naxt year will be much better from the viewpoint of longer road trips, thus avoiding long travel jumps after comparatively short series.

The league granted a request by the Houston Colts to lift, for Houston only, its rule against night games on Sundays. permission was sought by Colt General Manager Paul Rich ards who said that heat at Hons ton provided an attendance prob lem at day games. It was stress ed that this waiver of the ban on Sunday night games was lifted only for 13G3 and then only after May 31. NL Officially OKs 162-Game Card in '63 A farm team beat the National Leaguers in an exhibition game, o-l, before an overflow crowd of 6796 at Bowman Field. Despite the defeat, there was some good news for the Phillies.

Righthander Ray Culp, signed by the Quakers for a bonus of about $90,000 in June, 1959, and a disappointment in his three prior years, showed he may be ready for the big leagues as he hurled an impressive five-hitter lor the Grays. After the opening frame, when the Phillies scored their lone run, the young Texan allowed only three hits, all by left fielder Wes Covington, who had a per fect night with three singles and a double in four trips. I LP FANS 7 Culp, who fanned seven, set the Phillies down in order in the last eight innings except for Covington. The only walk he gave up went to Roy Sievers in the first. The Grays pounded Jim Owens, who hurled the first six innings, and two relievers for 12 hits and put the game away in the first with four runs, the first three scoring on a homer by Richie Allen.
