Chisox Ask To Continue At Milwaukee CHICAGO (AP) Officials of the Chicago White Sox said Tuesday they have asked Joe Cronin, president of the American League, for permission to continue their policy of playing one baseball game with each American League club in Milwaukee. This will consist of 11 games in 1969 because of expansion of the league to include new Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Pilots. The White Sox general manager, Ed Short, said that to avoid speculation of a permanent move of the White Sox to Milwaukee and to assure Milwaukee fans of the continuity of the 11-game schedule, permission has been requested to play 11 games in Milwaukee in 1969, 1970 and 1971.

Short said such a request had been sent to Cronin so that he might include the Sox proposal on the agenda of the forthcoming American League schedule meeting. In nine 1968 games in Mil- -waukee the Sox drew 265,452 fans. By MIKE RECHT Associated Press Sports Writer "For it's one, two, three strikes you're out hums Don Wilson with his fast ball, and he has the Cincinnati Reds swinging right along. But you can bet the tune is not a hit with the Reds. Wilson played it for them almost two months ago July 14 and 18 Reds went down swinging, giving Wilson a share of the major league record.

Wilson had the Reds dancing to his tune again Tuesday night as the Houston righthander struck out 16 en route to a 3-2 victory in the opener of a twi-night doublcheader. But with Wilson silent in the dugout during the nightcap, the Reds made a little noise with their bats for a 4-3 Coach Marty Ball Leaving Lakeview If there is any pressure connected with the upcoming 1968 season openers this weekend, the six city area high school coaches did not show it Tuesday noon. They were optimistic in their annual pre-season talks before the Battle Creek Lions Club in the Hart Hotel. Only one new coach is on the scene this year, Chuck Cilibraise of Pennfield, former standout at Olivet College. Chuck said, "Naturally, being new at Pennfield I haven't had the time to really know our squad but the spirit is fine.

Our dspth is thin. We are stressing defense." Veteran coach Jack Finn of the No. 2 ranked Central Bearcats last year said, "We are a senior ball club again. We've had two key injuries thus far and lack depth. We will not have the quickness of a year ago but we feel that we have another highly representative team at Central." Coach Buzz McNally at Lake-view is anticipating a bang-up year with a young team that is eager to prove itself.

"I expect a tough season. We are not big but we aren't small, either." Dick Stephens at Springfield has a tall and talented team -that figures to put in a strong bid for KYA honors. He said, "We have good height. I'm proud of the manner in which football has grown in stature at Springfield. We only had 19 out seven years ago.

There are 82 suited up this season." Mike Hume at St. Philip said his Tigers are a balanced club with the usual fine spirit. He said, "We at St. Philip are looking forward to hitting hard and playing hard." Lee Johnson at Harper Creek feels that the Beavers are ready to make their move after several tough seasons. "We are up against bigger schools in the Twin Valley but our kids are hitting and we have the best team speed that we have had in.

He had a little trouble get- -ting in tune, giving up John Bench's 15th homer in the second, and after Jose Herrera's two-run double in the fifth put him ahead 3-1, he gave up another run, and had only seven strikeouts in six innings. He also needed a strong throw from left fielder Bob Aspro-monte in the sixth to catch Vada Pinson at the plate. Then he started coming in loud and clear. He fanned two in the seventh and struck out the side in the eighth and ninth to complete a six-hitter for his 13th victory against 14 losses. The Astros relied more on their bats in the second game as Jim Wynn, Doug Rader and Norm Miller slammed solo homers, but it wasn't enough in a game delayed 47 minutes by rain.

A TIRE FOR Lions Get Down To 40 Players DETROIT (AP) The Detroit Lions of the National Football League got down to their 40-player limit today by releasing four players. Released were running back Bobby Felts, pass receiver Sims Stokes, defensive end Lew Kamanu, and defensive back Mike Bass. Felts had been with the Lions since 1965 after being acquired from the Baltimore Colts in a trade. He has been used almost exclusively for spot duty. He carried the ball 64 times for 207 yards and a 3.3-yard average during his Lions career.

Felts scored two touchdowns. Bass was received on waivers after playing with Green Bay last year. He played his college ball at the University of Michigan. Kamanu, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound Hawaiian was a rookie with Detroit last year. The product of Weber State in Utah was used primarily on specialty squads.

Stokes was acquired several weeks ago from the Dallas Cowboys. He is from Northern Arizona. Guy Manning Back, With Broken Finger DETROIT (AP) Maybe one of these days Ted Manning will be a professional basketball player, but in the meantime it seems as if all odds are against him. After his two years of military duty Manning notified the Pistons he was ready for another try. That was two weeks ago.

Tuesday he walked into the office of Pistons' general manager Ed Coil with his right hand in a cast. Manning said he broke a finger recently in a pickup basketball game. The cast will be on three to four weeks. Coach Donnis Butcher said hopefully Manning can return to the team for the last week of the training season. want to be the one who would have to say this is the end of the line for Lou Groza," said 1 a Collier, Cleveland coach.

"He still thinks that he can kick the football, and I do, too, but we have a fine young kicker in Don Cockroft and we want to examine his potential" further. We felt that we could not put Cockroft on waivers and expect to keep him." Groza was one of the players when the Browns were organized in 1946 as a member of the All-America Conference. He holds the NFL scoring record with 1,273 points and his career total is a whop Indiana. Neutral Spirit. Steve Shea.

The Dodgers handed the Cardinals their sixth loss in seven games and kept the pennant clinching number at six any combination of St. Louis victories or San Francisco losses totaling six would give the Cardinals the flag. Bill Singer scattered nine hits and ignited a two-run burst in the third inning off Steve Carlton, 12-11, with a single to raise his record to 11-15. San Francisco, still playing far in the background, beat the Braves on Willie Mc-Covey's 33rd homer with two on in the third inning against Al Santorini, making his first major league start. Williams had the Mets holding their ears as he blasted homers in the first, sixth and seventh innings, giving him 29 this season.

His six runs batted in also gave him the league lead. Teammate Ernie Banks added his 31st homer as Bill Hands, 16-9, coasted with an eight-hitter. Sunset League Ruby Norris 529, Ginny Truman 514, Betty Webb 224. Cole Bros. 2552-949.

(AP) Arthur Ashe finally lost a tennis match Tuesday- but the United States' Davis Cup hopes got a boost anyway. The slender Negro, winner of the first U.S. Open singles championship Monday, went down to defeat in the doubles final after a marathon semifinal match that took three days to complete. Ashe and Spanish pro Andres Gimeno succumbed 11-9, 6-1, 7-5 to Stan Smith and Bob Lutz, a pair of 21-year-olds from the University of Southern California who figure to be the U.S. doubles team in Davis Cup play.

The Americans play the winner of a series involving India, Japan and West Germany for the right to oppose Australia in the Challenge Round. The dates are Nov. 8-10 with the site to be determined. Ashe and Gimeno defeated Clark Graebner of New York and Charles Pasarell of Puerto Rico Tuesday in a semifinal match that began Sunday and was halted by darkness Sunday and Monday. The scores were 64, 3-6, 4-6, 20-18, 15-13.

Then they bowed to Smith and Lutz. Ashe completed the doubles on legs made rubbery by 162 games of tennis in 24 hours. He beat Tom Okker of The Netherlands in five sets Monday for the singles crown. Smith and Lutz added the Open doubles title to their U.S. Amateur crown at Brookline, two weeks ago.

In winning here, they outlasted a field that included the best doubles teams in the world.

Taylor, McDonald Lou Groza By HERSCHEL NISSENSON Associated Press Sports Writer Professional football sang a sad September Song Tuesday for three of its all-time greats Lou Groza, Jimmy Taylor and Tommy McDonald. All three reached the end of the line as active players, leaving behind scores of (1) memories and (2) lines of type in the record books. Groza, the 44-year-old potbellied placekicker who holds the pro football scoring record and was an outstanding tackle in his younger days, was removed from the Cleveland SPORTS FANS: I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW by Ed Sampson One of the most famous nicknames in football is Notre Dame's the "Fighting Irish" but, did you know Notre Dame has not always had that nickname? It seems hard to believe any Notre Dame squad ever courd have had a different nickname, but their original nickname was "Hoosiers" "Fighting Irish" didn't come along till many years after they started playing intercollegiate football. Here's a football oddity In all of football history, there have been very, very few good left-handed passers Isn't it strange that there haven't been more lefty throwers in football.

Did you know that for the first 27 of football history, no players ever wore helmets? The helmet wasn't introduced ttf the game until 1896 A player for Lafayette, Cearge Barclay, designed and wore football's first helmet in a gome that year.
