Foss, making a round trip tour of all eight AFL training camps in company with some 30 members of the first AFL Skywriters Tour, repeated his oft-told view that Oakland will become a ton And he volunteered a view that baseball is "red hot" to place a franchise in the new stadium.

"There's oply one place in the United States I'd be interested in being the owner of a professional baseball club," he added. "That's right liere in Oakland." Also in the party from the league office are Thurlo Mc-Crady, supervisor of officials and Jack Horrigan and Al Ward, of the league's public relations staff. Foss said the AFL continues! to make "amazing progress" and cited ticket figures. "We're right at a million seats sold to date for the 1965 season which is a month away he said. "That's more than were sold for the entire first year pf and it 54 per cent above last year, which was a growth year too." i The preferredtancesgooe as- Mcnnair nasaiueiorcTfr 1 I I -i Continued from 1st Sports Page sive showing, Davis announced his club would scrimmage again either Wednesday or Thursday.

He added that the decision to rehire the Cardinals manager a one-year contract was made "in the last five or six days."

(AP) Fullback Joe Don Looney, who has built a 'reputation as a "problem boy" in' the National Football League, was involved in a 3 a.m. Sunday fracas in a restaurant here police (eport- ed. Police said it ended with Loo ney, his training camp room mate, rookie end Joe Flynn, and a policeman in a heap the restaurant parking lot.

Trailing 6-2 Franks had re placed Willie Mays in center field with rwkfe Ken Henderson and when Wade Blasin game's first three pitches to TV-Dough Rocks Stars SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) Commissioner Joe Foss of the American Football League said Monday he thought the contract disputes involving San' Diego's Ernie Ladd and Charlie Henni-gan of Houston could be traced to the league's new television contract and the huge amounts of money being waved at rookies. 4 In the past we've always had a few guys who were not signed at this stage of the season and there, are not any more this year," said Foss. "But now they're not as docile as before.

'When the league first started out the players were happy to have another place to go he continued. "Now that we're es tablished and getting a better grade of player they figure they can find another place to go. "I think part of the problem lies in three areas we are in the first year of our television contract, the reported salaries of the rookies are so high and you also have to remember that new teams are coming on the line with expansion next year." Foss made his at the Oakland Raider camp less than 24 hours after Ladd, the mammoth, 6 foot 9, 300-pound tackle, was suspended by the Chargers for insubordination. Ladd's suspension came after he and teammate Earf Faison said they intended to play out their options with the club. Suspend 'if anyone is unhappy, he can play out his option, that's his legal right.

Noone has ever played out an option on a team I've coached and anybody can be replaced." Faison doesn't believe he'll be swapped. 4iIf I'm not traded, I feel a moral obligation to play," the defensive end declared. "But FU play but ray option. I'm harboring thoughts about the National Football Alworth and Lincoln said they are unsigned but said there is no breakdown of negotiations. Three other Chargers Ron Mix, Dave Kocourek and Jacques McKinnon are hap pily, signed but tney blame tne wholesale holdout situation on Gillmaifs dual role as coach and general manager.

"He's in the position of wearing two hats said the blond McKinnon. 'As a coach he praises the players and as a general manager he holds back." 1 Mix made a candid observation about holdouts. "In early there's always a lot of player dissatisfaction' he interrupted. "Players tend to be more emotional than coaches and sometimes make hasty comments. General managers are better poker players and things always get re-solved in the end someone comes np with the wallet.

AFL Commissioner Joe Foss, on tour with the writers, said Other clubs shouldn't negotiate If owners are smart, they'd just put Iheir- hands in their pockets and leave those playefrs The' players would; get the message' he Foss believes San Diego's problems are not as stormy as tney may and said it was not an uncommon situation in Dreliminarv contract talks. Foss Say well back in the batter's box: You wear your pants long so the fans won't notice your knees shake. You dont lean over the plate looking for the curve ball You won't get it.

And, if you hartg too far over the plate you won't have time to get back safely. Bob Lee has a disposition to match his fast hall. His temper comes on at 95 m.p.h., too. He is successful for the same reason a puff adder is. He's as mean as he is fast He flattened a sailor, a guard rail and a bone, on his finger in one altercation ii Boston last year.

He would sooner see a coiled rattlesnake than a guy dig in at home plate with a bat in. his hand. "When Robert is on," manager Bill Rigney observed 'sweetly, "you better go up to that batter's box with your ballet slippers on. Get your spikes in too deep" and they may have to cut them off you later." Bob may be the first guy to take deajl aim on a relief pitcher's job. Relief pitchers historically have had the life expectancy of a poison tester in thp Borgia household.

i But Bob struck out seven of the first nine batters he faced in organized ball. The first major league game he ever saw he struck out 16 Cleveland Indians. He belonged to Pittsburgh at the time. But a series of misunderstandings with a minor league manager resulted in Robert holding him out at arm's length one night and weighing whether to put him in a locker or a hospital. It also resulted in Pittsburgh giving Robert a choice whether to (A) go home; or (B) go to Batavia at a 65 per cent reduction in salary.

"I ate a lot of casseroles that summer but I went to Batavia," he recalls. He enough faith in Bob Lee to starve for him. At Batavia, he won 20, lost two.

Be that as it may, Willie sup plied three of the seven Giant hits in the first game and was two for three when Henderson took over in center. Warren Spahn was given a standing ovation by the 14,864 Milwaukee fans when he took the hill in the first game after Masanori Murakami, Herbel's relief man, was lifted for a pinch hitter'. The Braves scored an un earned run on him when Hank Aaron doubled, went to third on a passed ball and scored on a wild pitch. But, while not impressive, he got the side out with no more runs in the eighth. Herbel was batted out after the Braves ran the score to 3-0 in the fourth on consecutive basehits by Frank Cloninger- and Felipe Alou.

Sanford, making his first start since July 19, was also unimpressive, although the Giants made two quick runs lor him in the opening round. Gene Oliver parked a ball in the reaches of the left field bleachers in the second and, after Aaron and Joe Torre singled in the next inning, Mathews cleared the fence just inside the right field foul pole. But it was Boiling's leadoff double in the fourth, that knocked him, out of the box and brought in Bolin. Boiling came home on Aloq's single and Felipe scored on a wild pitch and Jones' single. Boiling nad three mts in each game to lead Milwaukee's 20-hit barrage.

The trouble with-the Giants is that they have nobody to follow Juan Marichal, who pitched "a minor masterpiece to beat the Braves Saturday on three hits. Mathews' home run was the fifth this season off San Francisco pitching and the 467th of his career He is second only to Mays who crashed his 477th Friday night.
