ELSEWHERE IN the American League, the Baltimore Orioles edged the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in 12 innings, the Chicago White Sox held off the Minnesota Twins 3-2, the California Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 5-2 and the Texas Rangers downed the Oakland A's 4-2. with the biggest beam (width) you can. It's a great safety factor if you get excited when you hook a big one. Also, as another precaution, be certain the inside of the boat is covered with non-skid paint.

Q. My nine-foot pram steers badly when I'm fishing. I weigh 2S7 pounds and my weight in the back puts the bow up in the air. A. You could consider a diet.

But seriously, I have a gadget which is an extension of the outboard motor steering handle. It lets me (weight 200 pounds) sit amidships and still control the engine. Q. Should I buy a canoe or a light boat for fishing? A. I suggest a canoe if you went to camp as a boy and.

learned how to handle one pro-' perly. They are easier to propel by and and lighter to carry. But if you are a modern-day city slicker like most of us, take the boat. Make it the biggest and beamiest you can handle. Q.

The inside of my boat is painted with a non-slip, stippled paint. However, it's soft and every time I setd own a bait bucket the paint scratches. 1 'VtLI v. Boat show statistics indicate that fishing has only a small influence on the prospective purchaser of a boat. At one time most boats were bought for fishing, but this purpose is now way down the list of boating activities.

However, there are more anglers than ever, and boat manufacturers are making a big-ger-than-ever pitch to them this year. FROM TINY 90-pound car-top hulls, to 50-foot offshore fishing craft, the selection has never been greater. But there are many factors In buying and equipping a perfect fishing boat as many of the questions we get indicate: Q. I use my aluminum boat a great deal for fishing. However, it's very slippery inside.

What should be done? A. A couple of marine paint manufacturers make non-skid paint for just such a condition. It's possible to do the job yourself by sprinkling washed, sharp sand on paint that is still tacky. It's a real life saver. Q.

I'm thinking of buying a 12-foot, 6-inch aluminum boat for fishing. It's light enough for me to put on the trailer alone. Any advice? A. Just two things. Get one Charity enjoyable brand of football to watch.

This is a tough league." Dubaj said the All Stars will workout the rest of this week, evenings at the O'Rafferty School Field. "WE'RE STILL looking at players, trying to fill a couple of holes. Last year we tried to A. Get a couple of rubber car-floor mats. Put one everywhere you might place a gasoline can, ice bucket or tackle box.

The rubber mat is also a good board for cleaning fish. If you want to run up on a pebbly shore, toss the rubber mat out first and drag the boat up on it. Q. I've read that as a group, fishermen are involved most often in boating fatalities. Is this true? A.

It's a sad fact. It seems that the mature man, out for a quiet day's fishing, is very vulnerable. Getting excited and standing up in a small boat is a big factor involved in accidental deaths. Remember this the next time you get a good strike. HAPPY ADS 50' A LINE 4 Lines Minimm Q.

I'm taking a fishing trip through Southern states. Since I'll be driving, I am considering taking along my one-and-half hp outboard. A. A very good idea. Boats are easy and cheap to rent almost anywhere.

But sometimes motors aren't. Remember one thing. Take along a life jacket for each person. A lot of anglers forget. My canvas top has shrunk and the snap fasteners won't meet.

Can it be stretched? A. The experts I've contacted say no. However, it is possible to stitch on extra material to regain a snug fit. Everybody seems to think you've stored it poorly or it wouldn't have shrunk. It should have been left on the boat.

Pd. 543 3750 By HERSCIIEL MSSENSON Associated Press Sports Writer Gaylord Perry was frisked in Cleveland Monday night and brother Jim Perry got Fisk-ed in Boston. A indignant Gaylord survived another uniform inspection by the umpires and New York Manager Ralph Houk amid renewed charges that he was loading up the baseball and pitched the Indians to a 4-2 victory that snapped the Yankees' eight-game winning streak. BOBBY MURCER, who has griped in the past that Perry greases up the ball, was at bat when Houk called for the frisk.

"I'm 99 per cent sure that he puts something nn thp h3ll Murcer said. "It's a slippery, clear substance and you can tell when you feel the ball. The umpires know what Perry's doing, but they've been told by the president of the league to ignore it. Their hands are tied." The Yankees were losing 4-1 when Houk suddenly bolted to the mound in the eighth inning and made plate umpire Lou DiMuro check Perry's pants and hat. Houk's a good man," Perry said, "but I've never had anybody charge me so fast." "I JUST thought the game was getting a little dull and I thought I'd have a little fun," Houk said.

"How can you tell from the dugout whether anything's on the ball? By the time you look at it, it's gone. I didn't think I'd shake Perry up. How can you shake up a man who's been around as long as hands certainly aren't tied. He shot one of them in the air a few minutes later and gave the thumb to third base coach Dick Howser, who had fielded a foul grounder and tried to point out something on the ball.

I scouted Youngs-town, Ohio last Saturday in an exhibition game, and they're going to be awfully tough. "WE FEEL our arrangement with Toronto of the Canadian Football League will really be helpful. I saw their Blue-White scrimmage, and they have quite a number of fine ballplayers they're not going to be able to keep, and they've promised to send four or five to us." Ted Piascik, MFL Commissioner, felt the league is moving in the right direction. "I feel we're organized much better.

Till 1 By HAL BOCK Assoc iated Press Sports Writer When Abncr Doubleday and Alexander Cartwright and those other oldtimers dreamed up this game of baseball, they decided that nine innings would be just about right for their little invention. That was one inning too many for the New York Mets and that thump you just heard was Yogi Berra's ball club landing in the National League East basement. THE METS led Chicago 2-0 for eight innings Monday night but the Cubs rallied for three runs in the ninth to take the ball game, 3-2. But the Cubs, who continue to lead the NL East by a comfortable margin, are taking nothing for granted. "We've traveled this road before." Cubs' captain Ron Santo said.

"It's very early jet." BUT IT'S getting late for the Mets, who are games and five teams away from first place. In other National League action Monday night, Pittsburgh slipped out of the cellar and moved one percentage point ahead of the Mets by sweeping a doubleheader from Montreal 8-6 and 3-1, Philadelphia overtook St. Louis 7-6, Houston whacked Cincinnati 13-2 and Los Angeles shaded San Diego 3-2.
