1 1, 'Champ' Didn't Wiii By Thp Associated Press Jackie Brandt already knows it is easier to hit for teammate Don Wilson than against him, and the rest ni the National League hitters are quickly learning it. too. Wilson, a rookie right-hander who pitched a no-hit tor a month ago and a three-hit tor 11 days ago, cut down New York on two hits last night as the Houston Astros blanked the Mets 7-0. It was his third straight victory and while h'e has discouraged opposing hitters, his pitching has brought out the best in Brandt. The veteran reserve outfielder, hitting only .237, had six hits in 11 at bats with his only triple and homeland eight of his 10 runs-bat led in during those games.

"I don't know what it is, but I sure do well when he's pitching," Brandt said. Another part-time performer. Gene Oliver, also had a good night, stroking three singles and a two-run homer as he led Philadelphia over Los Angeles 10-4. League-leading St. Louis unleashed Julian Javier, Orlando Cepeda and Rob Tolan.

who each homered, and whipped Cincinnati 7-o. Tat Jarvis snapped the Chicago Cubs' five-game winning streak with a four-hitter that lifted Atlanta to a 2-1 victory, and Caylord Perry broke his own six-game losing string by pitching San Fran-cisco to a 6-1 triumph over Pittsburgh. The Astros and Brendt made the rest easy. Brandt drove in one of four second-inning runs with his fly and then hit a three-run homer in the fifth off Bob Shaw and later doubled. (Oliver's first hit helped the Phillies to a four-run second inning against Claude Osteon, and his homer made it 6-0 in the third.

Javier slammed a three-run shot. Cepacia a two-run blow and Tolan a solo homer as the Cardinals hammered Mel Queen and Don Nottebart and increased their lead to two games over the Cubs. The Cubs placed their game under protest when Ernie Banks hit a short fly to left-center field in the sixth inning me Pride But Never ost kiis with the bases loaded and Glenn Becker, trying to score from third, was tagged out at the plate after bouncing off catcher Joe Torre. Cub Manager Leo Durocher claimed Torre blocked the plate before he had the bail, thereby interfering with the runner. In the AL.

Dick McAuliffe's distance hitting is keeping the Tigers within striking distance of the lead in the tight American League pennant race. The 27-year-old second baseman rapped his 17th homer and a triple against Washington. The triumph left the Tigers in fifth place, but only three games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox. McAuliffe. a 5-foot-ll, 175-pound left-handed batter, had only 24 homers in 497 minor league games covering five seasons before moving up to Detroit as a regular in 1961.

Dick found the home run range in 1964, slamming 24. added 15 the following year and hi; 23 in 1966. He appears well on his way toward his big league high this season and is lied for fifth place in the homer derby with ihe Yanks' Mickey Mantle. The Tigers jumped on Barry Moore, the Senators' starter, for two runs in the first inning on McAuliffe's homer, a triple by Don Wert and Willie Horton's sacrifice fly. Moore was knocked out in the third when Detroit added two more runs on McAuliffe's RBI triple, a hit batsman and a double play.

"God gave me strength," he explains, with patience. "I'm doing what I want to do and I have thousands and thousands of friends." Beau rides the bus to work, but not he-cause he can't afford a car he has no driver's license. "I couldn't read." lit? said, "so I couldn't cet the contract." He has two adult sons working in New York and five other children living at home here "and never a minute's trouble with one of His earnings from the shoeshine stand not only supports the family, but Beau is sending his wile through school at Miami-Dade Junior College.

Beau carries a small copy of the New Testament in his shirt pocket. "My wife reads The Book to my children and me," he said, "and I try to tell 'em back what it means. It'll carry you a long way it'll teach you not to hate, I've never seen Him, but I've felt Him, and I know if you go one strp in the right direction, He'll take you along two more steps. That's all I'm trying lo do go the right way. If I had stood around and waited for somebody to give me something, I'd be on my face by now." Jack didn't get all the money he had coming out of boxing, and he didn't know-how to handle what he got.

His first marriage hroki? up, too. "I'm not bitter toward my 1 first 1 wife." he said. "I just wish I had more money to give her for the love she taught my children to give me. Some women teach children to hate their father, but she didn't, and there is no hate in my heart for her. What happened in my life is' my fault.

Beau Jack his given name was Sidney Walker, but his grandmother nicknamed him Beau Jack, for some forgotten reason, and he has never been Sidney Walker since was a teen-aged shoeshine boy at Augusta National Golf Club before he left Georgia to go learn how, to fight. After he quit fighting I as going to do anything to stay out, except steal or murder" 1, Beau came to Miami to train three fighters, whose lack of interest caused him to turn them back in quickly. So Beau started to look for a job right then. "I can wash dishes," he told a prospective employer, "or I can butcher, except tjiat I hate the smell of blood, but what I like to do is shine shoes." One day later, he found the spot at the Fontainebleau, and he has been there ever since. "I get chances to go to New York, where more people know me," he said, "but in the winter time, there's not much shoe-shining in New York." The tips are good, Beau romps with the children and after the shop is closed, he and some friends who work at the hotel go out back and hit a few on the putting green.

Anybody who grew up shining shoes at Augusta National is odds-on to be a. putter. Chris Dundee recruited Beau Jack to referee the amateur fighls which are used to 1111 out the boxing cards at Miami Beach.

The tournament bcgiiis Augu-r when Astrodome offers two of the boms Jimmy 'ak-ing on Leotus Martin, al'cr which Ernie Tcriri; angles with Thad Spencer. Then there's the Oscar Bonavena ma'ch Kail Mildenberger, same to be endured by the sturdy folk of Frankfurt, Germany, a little later on with the Quarry-Patterson affair winding up the initial round in October.

Then in Miami, Houston. Los Angeles or New-York the semi-finals would be esiahlishoi rather quickly, we may assume, and the final match, supposedly to "officially" determine a heav weight champion to surcrpd the incumbent, who might be otherwise encaged, will follow. It is a possibility for mid-January here. too. Dundee couldn't make a mistake with Frazier.

so he is the key to most of the schemes now in Chris' teeming skull. His experience as matchmaker for the title go here between Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Johansson (1961) and co-promoter, with Bill MacDonaid. of Cassius Clay-Sonny Liston (1964) gave Dundee experience in this kind of thing. Now he sounds ready to make a big ail hy himself with an angel in the wings. In the next, few hours, Chris Dundee will make strong bid S200.000 strong to nail down Joe Frazier for a mid-winter heavyweight bout in the Miami Beach Convention Hall probably in the week preceding the Jan.

14 football Super Bowl game. Frazier hardly had lowered his lists from lumps on the face of George Chuvalo when fevers, dreams and imaginings smote Miami Beach's almost peerless matchmaker. Chris has been steamed up about the mid-January possibilities ever since he realized the football people would furnish him a national press, no matter if he-matches two chimps. But the idea that Frazier who had his weapons beautifully honed for Chuvalo might meet the winner of the WBA's "tournament" at that time fascinates the local octopus. As usual, I'm sure, Dundee will arrange to use somebody else's money probably even for the first telephone calflo Frazier's manager, Hank Durham but he's quick and he's a long way from dead in the head and Chris knows where I get a bankroll for the kind of caper he has in mind At noon, Dundee still was chasing Durham by telephone to offer him all that bread for the bout.

How much will it take to interest Frazier? Well, if the tournament put together by the World Boxing Association develops as planned and Jerry Quarry signed yesterday to meet Floyd Patterson in October, to complete the set of four matches Joe is going to 1 be getting a lot of rest between now and the first of the year He and Durham probably would listen at ten-t ively if Dundee mentions $200,000. This would be four times the guarantee given the Philadelphia bull for the Chuvalo fight by Madison Square Garden and $130,000 more than young Quarry was offered. The latter move, marie yesterday in the wake of Fra-zior's remarkably efficient shredding of Chuvalo's face on Wednesday night, obviously was a last-minute effort, by Madison Square Garden's Harry Markson to head off the Quarry-Patterson thing in Los Angeles and, at the same stroke, cash in quickly on Frazier's appeal. It. was suggested here before the Frazier-Chuvalo fight that, even a victory over Chuvalo would do Frazier little good.

But, after the event, we find this is not the case at all. Instead, Hie ruggedness of the action and Kramer's furious attack against the larger Chuvalo established Joe as a glittering, national attraction.
