Chance's "perfect game" probably won't get into the record books, however. The game is official the victory enabled the Twins to climb into second place in the American League but baseball record books list only perfect and no-hit games of nine innings or more. Even an asterisk isn't given to those who pitch "perfect games" of less than nine innings. Chance won his 14th game by retiring 15 Red Sox batters in order before the game was called. The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher struck out four and beat 15-game winner Jim Lon-borg, who gave up four hits and two runs in the fourth inning.

ters in high school, four perfect games. But, until yesterday, the closest he had come to a no-hitter in organized baseball were a pair of one-hitters at the Met in 1962 for the Angels against the Twins, and an 8-0 victory over Kansas City for the Twins Continued on Page 24 house afterward. "I'm glad it was called, because we won. "I had good stuff, particularly my curve ball, but who can honestly tell whether you've got no-hit stuff or not?

The United States baseball team climaxed the harvest of first-place finishes Saturday night with a 2-1 victory over Cuba. American succeses in track and field, swimming, basketball, wrestling and other sports had been expected. But the United States had never won a Pan-Am baseball championship; the team it sent to these 19G7 games was a young and inexperienced one. The formidable competition was Cuba, and the American coach, Marty Karow, added to the pessimism.

The American squad, largely composed of former and current collegians, lost twice to Cuba in preliminary play. "I don't see how we can beat them," said Karow after the second loss. "They have been playing together for three months and they're more experienced than we are." IN SPECTACULAR FINISH Boutell Wins Resorters Ken Smith, the Richfield native who recently graduated from West Point, spoke for the 18-man team. "Everybody was down on us except ourselves," said Smith, who played all 11 games at shortstop. The United States' total of 120 gold medals ties the mark set in the 1963 games in Chicago, 111.

The American men won 87 times and the women 33. The American total of 227 medals (120 gold, 63 silver, 44 bronze) narrowly missed matching the 245 total won in 1959. Here is a sport-by-sport rundown on American achievement in the fifth Pan-Am games: Track and Field icans won 30 of 35 events. Baseball The U.S. won the best-of-three title series from Cuba two games to one.

Basketball The United States men's team was unbeaten in nine games; the women's squad placed second to Brazil.

UP) Jack Nicklaus shook off the effects of an ear infection to win the $102,000 Western Golf Open Sunday with a closing 35-3469 for a 274 total, 10 under par. Doug Sanders bogeyed the last two holes for a 37-35 72 finish for 276 and second place. Nicklaus' third victory of the season was worth to lift his official earnings for the year to $101,148 and third place on the list.

The National Open champion became the first golfer to win $100,000 or more in five seasons. It was his first Western Open triumph, adding to his list of victories covering all major events. But Nicklaus, his csr blocked up under a doctor's treatment, nearly blew it with a bogey 6 on the final hole. It was only Sanders' collapse that opened the door. "I hate to win a tournament this way," said the blond bomber, who collected the 23rd victory of his career." Final scores and top money winners in the Western Golf Open.

Astrodome Saturday, leading, the sponsors hope, to the selection of a new heavyweight boxing champion. It was, indeed, an elimination. It eliminated not only the two losers, but the two winners.

At any rate the winners did not have much of a championship look about them. Previously, another sponsoring organization, Madison Square Garden, had conducted a one-fight elimination which not only permitted Joe Frazier to destroy the supposedly indestructible George Chuvalo, but put the entire Astrodome program on the defensive. Let the American Broadcasting Company and its captive agency, the World Boxing Association, eliminate and eliminate, they still will not have a champion acceptable to the public until Frazier has been accommodated. OTHER CONTENDERS NOT ONLY FRAZIER, BUT SOME OTHER CON-tenders, Buster Mathis, Sonny Liston, and Mexico's Jose Manuel, for example, are detached from the WBA affair. Let's consider Saturday's winners.

Jimmy Ellis stopped Leotis Martin on a technical knockout in nine rounds. Ellis had a fancier style than the three others. He had speed afoot and with his hands and he boxed well. However, this was all in the style of Cassius Clay, for whom he had long served as sparring partner. It was the same hit and run, safety first method Clay practiced but, with something less than Clay's excellence.

The sharp straight right on top of a quick left jab kept Ellis in control of the fight. It was used just as Clay used it and it worked against a slow, wholly ineffective opponent. When asked before the fight whether he imitated Clay's stick and run style, Ellis said, "I'll stick but I won't run. I'll stick and stay." At times he did stick and stay, but not to fight. He stayed only to tie his opponent up in clinches until he found a safe way to dance clear.

He is no better at infighting than Clay, who rejected infighting altogether. AT LEAST HE FIGHTS THAD SPENCER, THE DISTINCT UNDERDOG, OUT-fought Ernie Terrell by a clear margin. He was the most complete fighter of the four. As the saying goes, he came to fight. He was the only one who carried an effective body attack.

He proved the value of it by knocking Terrell into helpless exhaustion. Spencer had other weapons, too, a stinging jab, harder than Ellis', some good combinations and plenty of toughness and stamina. This carried him along although he was considerably shorter and lighter than Terrell and at a great disadvantage in reach. Many boxing people think Ellis will win the tournament. It is not exciting to foresee another champion, in the Clay style, who has mastered the art of winning without fighting.

Far as he may be from championship ability, Spencer would be a welcome winner over Ellis.
