SMITH Assistant Sportt Editor The Sun AW1! Sports Editor, on vacation i i I ing us," says coach Napier. "Horner and Jim Olshinsky have been great all year." Horner, an Overlea High grad who will enler the University of Maryland in September, is a thin right-hander who is too weak to pitch without four days rest. He's nearly 6 feet tall, but quite frail.

"He's a junk man," explains Napier. "He has a good curve, although he throws a fast ball once in a while. It's mostly junk." Horner definitely will start the big game for Essex at Dunalk. Hitting Falls Off Post 148's hilling has fallen off sharply since Gary Wallace, a center fielder, went into a slump. Wallace hit .500 for the first weeks of the campaign, but has dropped far below that figure lately.

"Horner's just about our best man with the bat says Napier. "He plays left field when he doesn't pitch." The latest victory over Towson was aided greatly by a wild pitch and a catcher's throwing error, which came in the inning when Essex scored both of its MM Iff Jf Prookline, July lftrl ppfendinR champion Rnd Lavrr of Australia and Aussie Ken Ro.p-wall advanced to the finals of I he rain-delayed United States Trofes-sional Singles Tennis Championships today.

Despite a popgun attack which threatens to curl coach Taul Napier's ulcer, pssex has a 15-7 recordgood for second place in the Greater Baltimore American Legion League. Dundalk continues to hold first place wilh a 21-5 mark and six games remaining. Essex trails by four games, two in the loss column.

The league title probably will be decided Saturday when the leaders clash at American Legion Field, Dundalk, at 3 P.M. Pitchers Carrying Load Essex has warded off every challenge of third-place Towson by beating that post in all four of their meetings this season.

Cliff's sister, Nancy Richey, captured an unprecedented third straight women's National Clay Courts title, defeating Julie Heldman, of New York city, 5-7, fi-3, 9-7. Richey opened against Ralston, the tournament's top seed, as if he would run off with the title, taking a 4-1 lead in the first set. The 23-year-old Ralston, however, stormed back and won five straight games to capture the set. Richey Starts Fast Richey, 13, again shot in front in the second set, grabbing a 5-1 lead.

Ralston cut the margin to 5-4 before banging the set point into the net, allowing Richey to tie the match. Richey, who was left off the Davis Cup team because of a squabble over training with George MacCall. the non-playing Davis Cup captain, held a 4-2 lead in the third set before losing and was in front 2-1 in the fourth and decisive set. Ralston went ahead 1-0 in the final set before Richey broke his service to tie it. Richey took his 2-1 lead but Ralston tied it by breaking Richey's service in the fourth game.

Ralston made it 4-3, broke Richey's serve for a 5-3 lead and then aced the match point with a blistering serve. Nancy Has Trouble Nancy Richey had a lot of difficulty in retaining her cham pionship.

The Riessen-Grraebner team was leading in sets 2-1 when Ralston suffered the injury. Spring Grove Captures Two A four-run first inning in the opener and Arnie Michclson's one-hit pitching in the nightcap gave Spring Grove 5-1 and 4-0 victories over Pimlico in a Baltimore Major League doubleheadcr yesterday. Key hits by Fred Phillips, Frank Kauffman and Bob Dodson ignited the big inning in the first game. Michelson had a no-hitter for six frames of the second tilt before pinch-hitter Al Street came through with a seventh inning single. Spring Grove scored the only run it needed in the first and added three insurance markers in the seventh on John Reis-berg's home run.

Early Texas League returns show eager Cotton Nash, who spent his rookie basketball stretch on the bench at Los Angeles and San Francisco, hitting .283 with eight homers and 37 runs batted in. "We had him in the outfield," a spokesman for the parent Angels reveals, "so he would concentrate on his hitting. Now we've got him concentrating on defense at first base. If his hitting continues, he'll make it.

On the other hand, Par-dew's own serve was surprisingly crisp. Pardew has not dropped a set in the tourney and Citren-baum's six games are only two less than Mac lost in the first four rounds. Ferris played an attacking gamej trom the outset and impressed the gallery. In the first set, Tontz tried to pass the youngster with hard, straight drives and repeatedly hit out.

But the second set saw the pattern that was to tell the story take form. Tontz began angling his shots, volleying away from Kenny and waiting for the proper opportunities to put the ball away.

The memories points in ten National Basketball Association campaigns, scoring champion in 3947-43 and four times all-pro. The job slipped away with time; the shooting eye a little the shots away a little slower, the legs a little wearier, Zaflofsky, however, was luckier than most. He had another career.

"I was the first athlete this organization (a cross-country freight organization) hired," Zaslofsky reveals. "That was 1951 when I was still playing basketball." Now director of management trainees, he's bent on convincing athletes to prepare now for the future. Only Active Names "I've seen where organizations were only too happy to give offseason jobs at good pay to athletes while they were still in the limelight. They used their name for their own benefits, But when the athlete was through, they didn't want him any more. They wanted those still active and in the headlines.

Or bigger names. "At 35-40, an athlete's career is over. He'd ask himself, 'Where do I go from here? I don't have any training other than my sport. Where can I get a It's frustrating. Well, we've been training them.

Herman Wehmeier, who used to be with the Reds, was one of our early trainees. He's now our terminal manager in Indianapolis." Zaslofsky is currently on a talent hunt. "Eddie Wilson, the Boston (A.F.L.) quarterback, already has worked for us," he continues. "I've talked with Lee Thomas and Frank Malzone of the Red Sox and we've lined up Jack Fisher, the Mels' pitcher; Gene Hector, the end with the Xcw York Jets and Lcn Chappell, of the Knicks." p00 rer Month Zaslofsky's firm hires the athletes as salesmen during their respective off-seasons at a basic pay of $500 per month. The plan calls for a $50-pcr-month increase each year until it hits a $750 ceiling.

Anyone who sticks for six straight years will be offered permanent employment at an executive level after he finishes his active sports career. Zaslofsky didn't do too badly for himself in basketball. He made, in his best year, counting a bonus, $21,500. "That doesn't sound much, but at that time there were only four guys in the league making over $10,000," Zaslofsky, who divided his sharp- shooting among Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Milwaukee and Fort Wayne, declares. "I could get the two-hander away as quickly as any one-handed shooter and you had more control from a deeper position with two hands.

I mean 30-40 feet out. Now nobody knows where the ball is going. Kut tne one-nanrleri didn't change the game that, much. It was the jumper. The' jumper really revolutionized it.

"Today's players are all pheno-j menal shooters. When I left the. league I was it's third highest in history. Now I'm what: Thirtieth or something like that. ijNext year I'll be further People are funny though.

They ljkeep asking me how come. What: the heck, you don't score points sitting in your living room." Ex-Cager Kessler In New Job Bob Kessler was an All-America basketballer when he finished olPurdue.
