Chess Champ, 15 Herb nominates and leave the rest of the details to the lawyers. "To be such a great runner, Elliott must be a great thinker. That's the reason I thick he'll accept my offer." Elliott's father, Herb said no decision was reached Thursday and that the Elliott family would talk to Leavitt again Friday. "Negotiations about the terms of the contract progressed favor ably. Theyll continue tomorrow.

I cannot say any more," the elder Elliott said. Thursday night Elliott senior revealed his son had received a second offer "not as spectacular or lucrative as Leavitt's but one which would not effect my son's amateur status." The father refused to reveal the source or details of the second offer but it was believed to be a job with a good salary which also would a low Herb to remain cn amateur footracer." "The next move is up to Herb," his father said. "He sees Leavitt again Friday. Then we'll consider two offers." However, Elliott's father and mother are known to have their hearts set on Herb running for Australia in the 1960 Olympic games in Rome. That dream will be ruined if their 20-year-old son turns professional.

"I don't like the idea of Herb turning pro a bit," his father said. "Money isn't everything and we've got all we want. "I would prefer that things stay as they are.

"I'm 99.9 per cent sure Elliott will accept my offer," Leavitt said after talking with Herb and his father and mother.

What was wrong with Mantle last year? I'll year. He am hittm Joe Adcock echoed his boss. Manager Haney. "If they want to pop off, let them. But I'll tell you one thing.

Neither team is going to win this year in four games."

Del Crandall picked on Mantle's jibe at Burdette and turned it to the Braves advantage. "Mickey's a pretty smart fellow. Lew won't win three games again, because we'll win it before he has la chance to pitch three games." MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPD Joe i Collins says the Milwaukee defeat of New York in last year's World Series will stick in the Yankees' craw this year.

But from the Mil-v aukee locker room, it is appar ent that statements by Collins and Mickey Mantle stick in the craw of the Braves. Collins, now retired from the Yankees after playing in seven World Series, has picked the Bombers in five games this year.

Vim. however, forged to the front on the second leg and took an eight-second advantage. But the sleek new yacht built by a syndicate headed by Henry Sears, recaptured the lead on the third leg and increased its advan tage on the run for the finish line. Since being launched Columbia competed in 29 races and logged 692 miles. She won 18 and lost 11 of the races, which also involved Easterner and Weatherly.

Long Wait Columbia is the third boat by that name to defend the Cup, which never has been won by the British. The last challenge was in 1937 when Harold S. Vanderbilt, a member of the 1958 selection committee, piloted Ranger to victory over T.O.M. Sopwith's Endeavor 2nd in four straight races. Rules for the classic yacht competition changed this year, making the size of the competing boats 12 meters instead of the big boats that battled for the trophy since the race's inception.

The first race will be Saturdav, Sept. 20. The first to win four races will take possession of the trophy. There will be no race on Sunday. Skipper of the Columbia is Briggs Cunningham 50-year-old Green Farms, who is as well known for his racing automobiles as his ability to handle yachts.

Cornelius Shields of Larchnront, N.Y., was co-helmsman with Cunningham but Wednesday he stepped down on advice of his doctor because of a heart condition. His place was taken by Olin Stephens, designer of both Columbia and Vim. The navigator is 47-year old Henry Sears of Greenwich, Conn. Other members of the crew are. Roderick Stephens.
