A onte Kopecz, now averaging .298, pushed Austin up front for good as he powered the club's third hom er of the season in Disch Field during the opening inning. The solo lick came off Gold Sox start er Lloyd Wallis after two outs in the first inning and carried over the 360-foot mark in right field. The score remained 1-0 until Austins eighth-inning turn after Santos Alomar beat out an infield grounder to the shortstop. Bill Lucas advanced Alomar with a bouncer in the infield on a hit- and-run play. Then Kopacz, a southpaw swinger, shoved a long drive under the scoreboard in left field.

It was easy for Alomar to round third, going home on the hit but Kopacz needed all of his speed to turn the play into a triple. A wild pitch moments later proved his running wasn't in vain, for he scored the game's third and last run.

The owner, Lamar Hunt, made the announcement through the Texans' office in Dallas.

Hunt was in Kansas City for an appearance at the Kansas City Press Club Gridiron Dinner. "The Kansas City metropolitan area has indicated tangible evidence that they want the Dallas Texans to move to their area," Hunt's formal news statement said. Thus ended one of the bitterest struggles in professional football history for dominance in a city. The struggle matched Hunt, a mdumillionaire, against a group of very wealthy men who own the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Indications are that both teams lost heavily while they competed intensely for football dollars.

A hurt bystander at the battle of millionaires was Southern Methodist University in Dallas, whose athletic director Matty Bell once threatened to move all of SMU's football games to another city because of a drop in attendance. Hunt said, "In early February I stated that I would move the Texans to Kansas Umbricht Loses First on Homer HOUSTON (AP)-Jim Umbricht lost his first game in relief for the Houston Colts since his cancer surgery March 8. He came in from the bullpen Tuesday night with the Colts leading Pittsburgh 4-2, but with two Pirates on base. Jim Pagliarani hit Umbricht's first pitch into the left field stands for a 3-run homer that put the Pirates ahead for good in their 5-5 victory. I a Graduation Gift Suggestions: ens By CHARLEY ESKEW The Austin Senators, who still haven't lost their first game to Amarillo going into another ses' sion with the same team Wednes day, are making noises like a first-place contender.

Moving up to an 18-16 record, the Senatorrs stopped the Gold Sox for the fifth time in as many times when fire bailer Jerry Hummitzsch twirled a four-hit shutout, Tuesday night. All of the Austin runs belonged to George Kopacz, the Senator first SMITH Heart foraging for that blanket of gar denias in the Belmont Stakes June 8, chances are Mrs. S. will wear black-eyed Susans. There was only one brief mo ment Saturday when the result was in serious doubt.

A quarter- mile from the finish, Chateaugay made a move that looked as strong as his winning charge in the Derby, came between horses into second place and took aim on Candy Spots. Chateaugay was closing the gap fast and for an instant it seemed he might do the deed once more, but Shoemaker still had a fistfull of race horse. Whipping lefthand- ed and then right, he fattened his winning margin to Vk lengths. Shoemaker probably wasn't worried by Chateaugay's chal lenge, but it may have been a fretful instant for Ellsworth and Meshach Tenney, the trainer. At least, Tenney's hand was trembling a mite when he toasted the victory with a paper cup of Coke while his less abstemious stablehands swigged the cham pagne sent to the barn by Pimli cos management.

This race meant a lot to the trainer, who felt the Derby defeat keenly and had put in two busy weeks defending both horse and rider against critics. System Heber Ellsworth, the boss' brother, handles the junior varsity, racing them at places like Acua Caliente. Last year the whole operation grossed more than a million dollars in purses, but only broke even. Profit has to come from sales. Proud California breeders and Sunkist sentimentalists resented it when Ellsworth sold his Derby winner Swaps to Mr.

and Mrs. John Galbreath for $2,000,000. But that money bought 90 odd brood mares which have brought the operation to its present magnitude. The sire of Candy Spots, Nigro-mante. was boueht from Argen tina for $200,000 and made the mis take of dying of a heart attack, uninsured.

Candy Spots has been working to expiate the sins of the father. US Cagers Try To Keep Hopes Alive RIO DE JANEIRO (UPD-The United States, its chances in the world amateur basketball championships all but buried in losses to Yugoslavia and Russia, hopes to stay alive in the round-robin tournament tonight against already eliminated Puerto Rico. The United States must win against the Puerto Ricans, losers of all four of their games tiie final series, to preserve any hopes for the title. Defending champion brazil stepped to its fourth straight victory a 77-63 decision over France Tuesday night and now awaits its showdown game with Russia (3-0) Thursday night. The Russians warm up for that task against Italy tonight while the Brazilians are idle.

Brazil used a fast-break to good advantage in handing France its third loss against two victories. Earlier on the same program, the Russians downed Puerto Rico, 64-55. Ttie CAPITAL E.

And he sleeps like the pure of heart.

He can snooze in a bed, on an airplane, on a cot in the jockeys' room or even on the pool table if the cots are taken. He hardly ever dozes on a horse. He took a night flight from California, as he often does on the coast-to-coast commuting schedule that is part of the life of America's foremost race rider, arriving here at 6 a.m. Saturday. He out in a motel for a few hours, then reported for work at Pimlico in time to win the fourth race on a colt named Bold Invader.

An hour and a half later he kicked Candy Spots out of the gate in the 87th Preakness Stakes, let the Kentucky Derby's beaten favorite run just about as he pleased for a mile, then gunned him into the load and kept mild pressure on until the finish post was passed and $27,500 in loot was marked for Rex C. Ellsworth. At three p.m. Sunday Willie and his striking wife caught a plane for California. Mrs.

Shoemaker was wearing a of big red roses which, in hopeful but misplaced optimism, she had bought for the Derby. When Willie and Candy Spots go Platoon Ellsworth, who seems always able to conceal his feelings, sip ped his soft drink impassively, Chances are he was mentally ticking off deductions from the winner's share $12,750 for Shoe, $12,750 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and so on and estimating how many oats the balance would buy for his 600 horses. A rancher and horseman all his life, Ellsworth respects honest "horses but regards them as livestock which he breeds and sells as a business, the way he breeds and sells beef cattle. With something like 200 brood mares, his thor- "'joughbred operation is one of the largest anywhere. He keeps 120 horses in training and employs them in platoons like Paul Dietzel's football squads at XArmy.

Tenney, a 45 per cent partner in the racing venture, is coach of the Regulars, comprising Jthe top 40 horses.

Get whiter shoes 23 Bill Beihea Has Proper Initials: BB DALLAS The initials BB stand for various symbols in various fields, but in college sports they stand for Baseball and in Southwest Conference baseball during 1963 they could well have been an abbreviation for Bill Bethea. At least, final Conference batting statistics would so indicate. Bethea, senior shortstop from Houston and the leader that the University of Texas rallied around in driving to the conference co-championship with TCU, doinated final league statistics. Bethea upped his batting average (.304) of the previous season by 93 points, to .397, to edge out Ronnie Goodwin, of Baylor for the batting title.

In addition, the Longhorn led, or tied for the lead, in five individual departments: runs, (24); hits, (27); total bases (45); doubles, (7); and tied with Joel Tigett of Rice for the stolen base title with seven. Thompson was the RBI champion with 22 and Aggie Bill Han cock led in home runs with five. Baylor's Goodwin, another shortstop and the early-season leader, was second in batting with a .386 average, followed by TCU's Bob Bigley with a .383 and Texas' Butch Thompson with .379.

Commitment by the city to expend approximately to build suitable practice facilities and enlarge the present stadium facilities to 47,000 capacity. "2. Ratification by the City Council of a stadium lease which would provide the use of the Municipal Stadium at a low rental during the early years of the lease.

"3. A drive by the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to sell 25,000 season tickets." The young owner added: "The first two items have been fulfilled, and although the ticket drive is presently short of the 25,000 figure, it is my firm belief that it will ultimately b- successful."

How great was the fast ball? "He can throw harder," grinned Jimmy Brown, the manager, sly ly. I ve seen him sharper. He started out wild this time but once he settled down he did all right.

He did a great job, in fact. And he can throw harder. Until then, the Gold Sox will settle for the gear he was in Tuesday night. The Senators trot out a new face Wednesday night, lefthander Jim Flynn, in an attempt to keep the string going against the Gold Sox. They'd settle for another job like Hummitzsch gave them.

Accused last season of platoon- ing the Los Angeles Dodgers out of the World Series, Alston is back at the same old stand in 1963. In the past two weeks, Alston has used more different lineups than the Los Angeles police de partment. Yet his critics are strangely silent now.

The reason? Very simple. Alston is getting winning results with his now-you-see-them, now- you-don't tactics. The Dodgers have won seven games in a row, 10 of their last 11 and 12 of the last 14. "You never hear anything about the times the platooning works," Alston says in his lingering mo ments of glory. "But the first time it doesn't work, everybody starts talking about 'that lousy plutoon system'." What are the changes Alston makes? Well, on the present home stand, he used Jim Gilliam at second and third base, Ron Fairly at first and in center field, Tom David at third and in left, Wally Moon in left and right field and shifted shortstop Maury Wills to third base.

Dick Tracewski is the new shortstop, with Nate Oliver at second base when Gilliam isn't. Bill Skowron is at first when Fairly is in center and Lee Walls is all over the outfield.
