HONOLULU ADVERTISER Wednesday, July 12, 1967 B-5 TxXTTT ID) mer 11 Ez 1 iia JLoxia Wins I or i ere By JOE SARGIS ANAHEIM, Calif. (UPI) Tony Perez, Cincinnati's 25-year-old third baseman who wasn't even sure of a job this year and got into the All-Star game only as a late-inning replacement, powered the National League to its fifth straight the game in the 10th inning as the third base replacement for Richie Allen, who provided the National League with its first run on a homer in the second inning off American League starter Dean Chance. Pitchers dominated the marathon 3-h our and 41-minute contest in which a spring long for the first baseman's job and wasn't named No. 1 until opening day by manager Dave Bristol. Since then, he has hit 17 homers and was shifted to third base because of injuries.

In his only other at-bat yesterday he struck out but Continued on page B-8 Ferguson Jenkins that tied the score at 1-1. The Nationals, 13-10 favorites because of their supposed hitting edge, now have not lost a single extra inning game in the mid-summer classic, extending their record in that category to five. It also was their ninth victory in the last 10 games and record 30 strikeouts were chalked up, 17 by National League pitchers and 13 by American. The winners collected only nine hits off six pitchers while the American League was held to eight, one of which was Brooks Robinson's sixth ir.ning homer off Chicago Cub righthander mt is -S their 20th overall against 17 losses and one tie. The victory went to Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers who pitched two-innings of shutout ball.

But it was young Tom Seaver of the New York Mets who shut the door on the Americans, winding it up by striking out Ken Berry of the Chicago 1 iTV nvrm mn i The National Pastime-Maybe TOO MllCll Speed With all the hub-bub Eli Jet ricer ecisaoni victory yesterday with a 15th inning homer that sank the American League, 2-1. Perez' 375-foot line smash over the leftfield fence came on the first pitch off loser Jim (Catfsh) Hunter with one out in the 15th and dramatically ended the longest game in All-Star history.

Like wars, topless waitresses, television commercials and even other sports both indoor and outdoor. In fact, some think that baseball is a game to be played by the young, but only to be watched by old people with low incomes.

As proof of this, we have the Louis Harris Survey, which shows that baseball still is the national pastime, but only in certain divisions. Mr. Harris asked this question: "Which one sport, if you had to choose, would you say is your favorite sport the one you enjoy following the most?" The result: baseball 39 per cent, football 29, basketball 10, bowling 5, golf 5, hockey 3, boxing 2, horse racing and skiing 1 each. Then the Harris survey makes a further distinction: BASEBALL vs. FOOTBALL up to his nickname.

He's a blur in the ring and Elias, game all the way as Parker jabbed him at least several thousand times, must have thought he was fighting a shadow. Parker, weighing in at 123 against VLxz for Elias, strikes like a cobra with both hands. The small crowd of 2,972 that paid $10,939 to see an excellent card looked on almost in awe as the Jet went at full speed for the 10 rounds, toying with Elias as he pleased, switching at times to a southpaw style and even breaking into an Ali shuffle on one occasion. llli Ml Baseball Per Cent All sports fans 39 By age Under 35 35-49 25 31 55 50 and over By income Under $5,000 61 35 $10,000 and over 29 By DAN McGUIRE Rolando (Jet) Parker made good his bid for world boxing recognition last night by easily decisioning Manny Elias of Tucson, in a 10-round main event at the Honolulu International Center Arena. It was a big and important victory for the 22 year old fighter from The Philippines.

Elias holds the United States bantam title and is the only American ranked among the top 10 bantamweights in the world he's No. 7. He had absolutely no chance against Parker, who is one athlete who fully lives -ST i 3 1 i White Sox. Perez, as might have been expected was the overwhelming choice as the game's most valuable player. A native of Santurce, Puerto Rico, Perez went to the Reds' spring training camp this year looking for a job.

He battled Lee Maye all Hurricane Kid, 166, wasted little time on Bill Marsh, 164, of Henderson, Nev. The Kid, garbed in a gorgeous pair of red and gold trunks, knocked out Marsh, strangely endowed with the nickname of "Battling Billy," in 1:17 of the second round. A right to the jaw put Marsh on the floor for a nine count. He got up and immediately retired to the canvas from a light left to the chin. He took the full count with the air of a man who realizes that discretion is the better part of valor.

In the preliminaries, Ra-miro Nidez, 128, Los Angeles, was awarded a TKO over Joe Lorenzano, 131, in 2:32 of the fifth round. Lorenzano was down for nine and referee Frank Gomes stopped what had turned into a slaughter. Al Ramirez, 131, Los An- Paid Fujii To Defend Title Sept. 3 TOKYO (UPI) New World Junior Welterweight Champion Paul Fujii of Honolulu will make his first title defense on Sept. 3 in Tokyo against Willi Quartuor, of West Germany, the World Boxing Association's No.

1 contender, the Sports Nippon newspaper reported. The newspaper said the agreement was reached last night between Quartuor's representative, Steve Klaus, and Iwao Kodaka, president of Kyokuto Promotions which has a contract for Fu-jii's fights, Yoshio Yoshi-mura, owner of the Riki Boxing Club to which Fujii belongs, and matchmaker Ta-kefusa Kawarai. Klaus arrived in Tokyo Tuesday by a Scandinavian Airlines System plane. Immediate confirmation of the agreement was unavailable. Craig Back With Islanders PHOENIX (UPI) Righthander Pete Craig, who started the season with the Washington Senators then went to Indianapolis where he was 2-5, rejoined the Hawaii Islanders yesterday.

Craig was the Islanders' top moundsman last season, finishing with a 14-13 record and a 3.48 earned run average. Baseball Turnout Chicago Organized baseball in the 1965 season drew 33,630,000 fans.

Promoter Sad Sam Ichi-nose, counting the sparse house with tear filled eyes, said he will go all out to get Parker matched with some of the top bantams and eventually a shot at world champion Fighting Harada of Japan.

Referee Wilbert Minn called it 50-38, judge Louis Freitas and The Advertiser 50-39 and judge Tamotsu To-mihara 50-40. Elias got a 5-5 standoff in the first round on Freitas' card. No one else was as liberal. In the semiwindup, the 111 Advertiser Photo by Y. Ishll idge smashed a single to score the winning run.

Hawaii's starter, Buster Narum, blanked the Giants on two hits for the first three innings, but was pulled for a pinch hitter in the fourth after injuring his ankle. The two teams meet again today at Phoenix Municipal Stadium for the third of their series with Jim Duckworth (6-4) on the mound for Hawaii against Bob Gariba' (7-3). SUMMER The Arizonan tried to fight out of a semi crouch and it can truly be. said he never laid an effective glove on Parker all evening. For the Jet, it must have been like hitting a fire plug for a lot of his blows landed on top of the crouching Elias' noggin.

Parker kept his opponent off balance in every round. In the sixth he unleashed a fusillade of lefts and rights that drove the gutty Elias stumbling across the ring. Elias almost got seasick as he tried to follow his wraithlike tormentor. Manny was still dizzy after the last bell and fell from the ring into a 'V i Giants got the bases loaded with none out as they went through two pitchers.

(UPI) Major League baseball players rejected a proposal by the owners yesterday that would have raised their minimum salary to $8,500 immediately and to $9,500 in 1968. Marvin Miller, executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, heard the owners prc-posal and rejected it on behalf of the players. While Miller had no comment regarding yesterday's meeting, it is believed that the players are seeking to increase their annual minimum salary to $12,000 from its present $7,000. Miller met with all the Major League players' representatives Mondry and carried their request to yesterday's meeting. i'i geles, took a split six round decision over Joey Carreiro, 132.

Joey started out but lack of conditioning old the tale. In a good slugfest, Walter Nakama, 1194, decisioned Teddy Doi, 119i, in four. The card deserved a better house. Ricans Nip Army by 2-1 Score The Puerto Ricans scored single unearned runs in the fifth and sixth innings for a 2-1 victory over Army last night in the second game of the Mayor Neal S. Blaisdell baseball tournament at Hick-am field.

Ron Lokar of the Ricans doubled in the fifth, stole third and scored on George Nitta's infield single but the run was tainted by an error on the Army first baseman. Hal 1 scored the clincher for the Ricans when he singled, stole second and moved to third on a throwing error, and came home on a balk. Willy Martin was responsible for the lone Army tally with a solo home run in the third. Martin and pitcher Dave Sells were responsible for all of the Army hits-' in the game.

On the other hand, if you make less than $5,000 a year, you dearly love the game of baseball and wouldn't walk across the street to see the Green Bay Packers take on St.

Louis High in football. But if you make more than $10,000 a year, you'd prefer football or some other sport, like riding a rocking chair, ahead of baseball. Gridders Have Press Clippings If they play as well as their advance publicity, it would appear that coach Don King and his University of Hawaii aides have lined up enough good gridders to at least play the New York Jets on an even basis. Now, this may be putting King on the spot. But the fact remains that his recruiters have done an amazing job.

They have come up with a half-dozen All-America junior college stars; three members of a fine Air Force Academy squad plus a strong nucleus of hold-overs. Any way you look at it, this should be the makings of a good football team. We've been wondering just where the coach is going to play all these stars when practice starts Sept. 1. "Never mind about that," cracks Don.

"There's one thing about good football players. You never can have too many." True: Most successful football campaigns are achieved because of the strong bench. Track Coaches Riding High Those coaches who gambled a small fortune on that All-Star track and field meet at the Stadium recently all are heaving sighs of relief these days. We ran into Hank Vasconcellos, who headed up the cast of coaches running this event, and he was smiling from here to Hanauma Bay and back. "It looks like we broke even," said Hank.

"And I think the meet will revive interest in track and field here. "I've had letters from several of the boys who competed here and they all want to come back next year." From the smile on Hank's face you'd have to guess that there'll be another event next year bigger and better than ever. Only this time, the athletes would appreciate it if they could run on an oval track. The coaches worked hard to try and build a track in nothing flat and they did a pretty good job. Except for that square corner at home plate.

If you'd care to mark it down, all those races out there that night were world records for a track with one square corner. Jet Parker lands hard right to head of Manny Elias.

(UPI) The Phoenix Giants took their second straight Pacific Coast League baseball victory over the Hawaii Islanders last night with a down-to-the-wire 3-2 win. The setback marked the fourth straight loss for the Hawaii nine. It was also its 12th loss against only two victories on its current road trip and its 14th defeat in its last 16 games.

The visitors got off to a 1-0 lead on a homer by Frank Coggins in the fourth, then added their other run in the fifth on singles by Larry Himes and Gene Freese and an infield out by Coggins.
