It didn't look like pennant-clinching day for Early Wynn, veteran righthander of the Indians." It wasn't at that moment.

107 was reached in the seventh inning. With Steve Gromek, Tiger veteran righthander nursing a 1-0 lead, the Indians let loose with sudden, explosive fury. After Dave Philley walked with one out, the 33-year-old Mitchell, a bench-rider all season, was sent Tampa's AI Lopez in the seventh inning.

He eliminated the former holder of the championship for good the eighth round of their bout Friday night.

although Charles said, as expected, he would like to meet the champ again, he'd best consider a career as a rassler. The Cincinnati Negro proved more proficient In the tactics of the Jtrunt and groaners than in the manly art of self defense. and for the first five rounds no holds were barred. We were among more than 2000 disappointed onlookers who Jammed the Metropolitan Theater to see the showing of the fight on TV. 'The bout followed the pattern of most fights you see on TV, lot of holding and rugged in-fighting.

There were three knockdowns, the third ending the bout in the eighth, but for the most part was full of arms and elbows, butting heads and waltz-time clinches. It wasn't the kind of an exhibition you would expect from the two top ranked, "fighters" in the world. Rocky spent most of bis time trying to get loose from Charles who held him from the opening bell. Charles looked like a man resigned to his fate. What's more, the television audience seemed to sense, as did Ezzard, that it was just a matter of time.

And, the time came in the eighth, Charles got up and shook off the effects of the punch that felled him briefly in the second, hut the thunderous right that first sent him down in the eighth was too much to overcome. He managed to get up only to go down again. hook smack on the chin finished Charles' career as a top ranking heavyweight. Had Charles stood up and fought it would have ended long before the eighth. The bout only took about 30 minutes time of the theater fans who paid $3.90 per head.

And, while theater TV may never replace the ringside seat, it was a big lift to the principals involved. The twice postponed bout only drew about 25,000 fans in Yankee Stadium, while there must have been at least three times that many who saw the fight in 70 theaters around the country. Gators Get Official Welcome In Houston When the Gator gridders arrived for their game with Rice they received a surprise welcome from a big group of Florida legislative and education officials here for a meeting for the Southern Regional Educational Work Conference. Gov, Nominee LeRoy Collins headed the group which was to be supplemented today by the arrival of Acting Gov. Charley Johns.

Also joining the cheering section for the game were former Gov. Millard Caldwell. J. Emory Clark of Melrose; Sen. Bourke Floyd of Appalachicola; Dr.

With time running out the ihe tempo of the rain increased in the darkened stadium but the umpires, after a hurried huddle, decided to continue.

Mitchell took one ball, then lashed the next one high into the upper right field deck and scored behind Philley. It was his first homer of the season.

Georgia's powerful young football team alternatedly ran hot and cold tonight in rolling up a 14-0 victory over a stubborn band of State University Semi-noles before more than 15,000 fans at Doak Campbell Stadium. Jimmy Harper, a smart junior quarterback, stepped into the shoes of passing wizard Zeke Bratowski and engineered the triumph which gave the Bulldogs a winning start on the new season and broke Georgia's five-game losing streak.

Harper Stars Harper plunged for Georgia's first touchdown in the opening period to climax a 53-yard drive and then passed 23 yards to End Matthew Arthur in the final quarter for all of the scoring. Florida State consistently out-charged by the bigger Georgia line, never could get a sustained offensive going. The stands were approximately half full as the teams took the field for their pre-game workout. The temperature was in the high 80's and the players could be seen wiping their faces as they perspired through the preliminary drills. Two players, Ronnie King, senior fullback from Davtona Pet.
