With this persuasive philosophy, Henry Aaron has become one of the great hitters in baseball. Optimistic h- I.

vw hi i I VS'1 Ohio; Budge Patty, Los Angeles; Richardson, Arlington, Bill Quillian, Seattle, Kierbow, Flam and Olmedo. The squad will play in I the Pacific Southwest championships at Los Angeles, Jones' private tourney, starting Sept. 11, and the Pacific Coast championships at San Francisco the following week. The final squad will be named afterward. Kierbow, who has been in the army two years and is recuperating from an ankle injury, will try his skill against the established players.

"He's like a big race horse, raring to go," said Jones. The best bet is that th cup team will be made up of Richardson, MacKay, Olmedo, Patty and possibly Kierbow, if he lives up to notices. Patty will be taken along for doubles old "mystery man" from Beverly Hills, Cal. The selection of Peruvian Olmedo, a source of controversy, stunned no one. "We're going to take the best possible team to Australia," said Jones.

He indicated that would have to include Olmedo, one of the four United States cuppers who made the quarterfinals of the National championships. Flam Selected The others were Herbie Flam of Beverly Hills, also named on the squad; Vic Seixas of Philadelphia, Penn. and Dick Savitt of East Orange, N. who say they won't budge from the U. S.

Here's the 12-man preliminary squad: Earl Buch-holz jr. St. Louis, Chris Crawford, Piedmont, Jon Douglas, Santa Monica, John Cranston, Beverly Hills; Sam Giammalva, Houston, MacKay, Dayton, that all my life and here I am in the major leagues." Whenever his teammates ask why he runs stiff-legged on his heels instead of digging in with his toes, Henry smiles and says, "I'm pacin' myself." Robin Roberts of Philadelphia is alleged to have observed that "Aaron is the only man in baseball who can fall asleep between pitches, then wake up to knock the next one out of the park." Studies Game In a way, his "laziness" is Henry's own private j'oke. It's his way of be" guiling his rivals for he studies the game and the pitchers closely. "He remembers what you got him out on the last time and he makes sure he doesn't get caught again," says pitcher Bob Friend of Pittsburgh.

Henry is a natural hitter, perhaps the best right-handed hitter since Rogers Hornsby. But he is not a scientific hitter. He swings at anything. He'll hit a bad ball with awesome power. "I've seen him hit a pitch off his ear into the grandstand," says Friend.

"Then he'll reach out and pull an outside pitch to left field." At 24, Henry is regarded a prospect for all-time greatness. "He may hit .360, he may hit .400. He's capable of anything," says Wlrephoto (A. A dazed Art Aragon sits in his corner surrounded by trainers after his fight with Carmen Basilio was stopped in the eighth round.

Gordon Catches Up on Greens Basilio to Fight Champ Robinson 'If Money Right' FOREST HILLS, N. Y. UP) Perry Jones, United States Davis Cup captain, Saturday promised that his team will "give them the works" in Australia. It was a bold and apparently an over-optimistic statement for not a single American reached the semifinals of the National champions here. Never before had the semifinals been an all-foreign affair.

Three Aussies What's worse, three of the four semifinalists are Aussie Cup team members. "We're conceding nothing," said the 70-year-old Los Angeles tennis executive, with Jack Kramer standing at his elbow. "Thank goodness for Ham Richardson, Barry Mac-Kay, Alex Olmedo and Don Kierbow." Kierbow was the surprise name on the preliminary squad of 12 although tennis circles have been buzzing about the 21-year- D. M. Does Fair Against Also-Rans By Bill Bryson Des Moines is 30 games below the .500 level and just two clubs are respon sible for 20 games of that deficit.

If the Dodgers hadn't been so helpless against leading Colorado Springs and runner-up Amarillo, their Western League record for 1958 wouldn't be deplorable. They've done pretty well against the league's other also-rans: 41 victories, 51 defeats. Edge on Pueblo But they dropped 16 of 21 decisions to Amarillo and 15 of 21 to Colorado Springs. Head-to-head, they were better than fourth-place Pueblo. The Dodgers won 11, lost 10 against the Chicago Cub farmhands who used to represent Des Moines.

They lost the season's series to fifth-place Albuquerque, 11-9. And now they have an opportunity to finish ahead of Topeka, Sioux City and Lincoln. It's a threadbare opportunity, however, for the Dodgers will have to win all their remaining 12 games in order to do it. Play Soos Five They trail Topeka, 10-8, heading into tonight's doubleheader at Pioneer Memorial Stadium. The Hawks end their business here in a single game Sunday night.

Sioux City, with a 10-6 edge over Des Moines, comes to town Monday for a five-game series. Then the Dodgers finish the season with four games at Lincoln. They trail the Chiefs by 10-7.

Fred Gordon, the calm pipe-smoking vetcra.i from Bel-mond, proved one thing in the Iowa Open golf tournament Friday over Elm-Brooks' course. You don't have to have a Jong hall lo score. The sweetpca grower hit only nine greens in his qualifying round but when all strokes had been tallied in the gathering gloom Fred was in front of the amateur contingent with a one-under-par 70. "If I couldn't putt and chip I'd get my brains beat out," said the 51-year-old former state champion who uses a 35-year-old blade putter. "It's the same one I started with," revealed Gordon whose pipe lighting procedure upon reaching a green has been a hallmark of Iowa golf for a decade.

Des Moines Keith Campbell, prominent amateur whose 44 putts kept him out of the championship flight, ruefully admitted "golfers could take a lesson from Gordon." Other casualties of Elm-Brooks' heavy greens included Fort Dodge's Todd Tischer and Doug Beath, former Des Moines top- Last year he was elected ths Most Valuable Player in the National League, and this year he has demonstrated why. June 26, Aaron an indolent-looking chap who displays animation only at bat was batting. 254. Milwaukee was lurching along in the pennant race, sometimes in first place, sometimes not. Hits .450 Today, Aaron is batting about .340 and is on the brink of seizing the league batting lead.

The Braves have thundered to a bulging lead. When Aaron was struggling in his early-season slump, Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals said: "He'll have to hit over .400 to catch up with the batting leaders." In the past two months, Aaron has batted .450 and just about dumped Musial and the Phils' Richie Ashburn out of the hitting lead. All this falls short of inspiring Henry into movement. "I grabs a bat and goes up there lookin' for one thing and that's the baseball," says Henry.

"If it's anywhere near the plate, I'm swingin' at it." Henry is an uncomplicated fellow who moves about with a languid unhurried air. When the scout who signed him, Dewey Griggs, urged him to at least "look like you're trying harder," Henry gazed at him philosophically. "Mr. Griggs," hes said, "when I was a little boy, my daddy said to me, 'Henry, never hurry unless you have I've remembered Brewer Perks Red Sox (By AsBocIaUd Press) Tom Brewer, one of the pitchers Boston hoped would provide a chance at the Amer i a League pennant, finally has come around to perk up the Red Sox 1 ing shot for second place. The lean right hander, just turned 27, didn't started until after the All-eiV: Star game, brewer when the Red Sox were already 12 games behind first place New York.

After winning 35 games in 1956-57, Brewer had won only three of 10 decisions for the first three months. Now, with the Red Sox running oniy a game and a half behind second place Chicago, Brewer has won six straight and seven of his last eight decisions. Brewer padded his record to 11-10 Friday night, setting down Baltimore on four singles as Boston beat the Orioles, 10-2. Washington blew a 3-0 lead, but beat the Yankees, 6-3, the White Sox got past Cleveland, 4-3 and Detroit rapped Kansas City, 4-1. Bob Nieman and Bob Boyd split Baltimore's hits off Brewer, who had a shutout for seven innings.

The Red Sox socked 14 hits while beating Jack Harshman (11-12), with Bill Renna, a .167 hitter, doubling twice for four runs. Navy Stadium Drive Over Top ANNAPOLIS, MD.

His statement came after he pounded dapper Art Aragon into a bloody, reeling derelict in eight savage rounds Friday night. "I can fight either Robinson or Virgil Akins, but Robinson has to fight me," said Basilio, who knocked Aragon loose from everything but his sense of humor. "Is this guy Basilio really a welterweight?" asked the badly cut Golden Boy as he sat in his dressing room sipping beer. Truman Gibson, head of the International Boxing Althea Wins With Ease FOREST HILLS, N. Y.

Mrs. Fleitz, who had beaten Miss Gibson in their three previous meetings, was extremely nervous and showed none of the marksmanship which marked her triumph Friday over Brazil's Maria Ester Bueno. The red-haired Mrs. Fleitz, 28, could not find the range with her double forehand shots.

Miss Gibson, 31, fighting what she called a severe cold, showed disagreement with several linemen's calls. She plagued her opponent with drop shots and sharply angled shots hit shallow.
