The weatherman predicted a partly cloudy Sunday with a high near 70 degrees as the best-of-seven series shifted to the American League champ's park, all even at one game each. Catcher Elston Howard and first baseman Bill Skowron, two Yankee regulars who missed the second game due to injuries, were expected to return to action after a day of travel and rest. Only Stafford losscned up briefly in Saturday's drizzle.

"It looks like Howard and Skowron will be able to play," said manager Ralph Houk. Howard suffered an injury to his right wrist while sliding in the first game and Skowron aggravated a chronic back condition. Manager Alvin Dark followed protocol by naming a left-hander to open for the Giants at the Stadium with its handy right field "porch." Not only left-handed hitters but right-handers, too, often dump home runs into the lower right field stands. Despite Pierce's perfect 12-0 record at Candlestick Park, Dark saved him for the Stadium which his club will be seeing for tiie first time under game conditions. However, a team that had been through "a bitter pennant fight and an agonizing three-game playoff for the National League champ ionship, did not figure to be overawed by such little things as 68,000 fans, a triple-decked stadium and the tricky shadows and wind currents in the concrete stadium in the Bronx.

Pierce, 35, knew his way around the Stadium after his span of service with Detroit and the Chicago White Sox who traded him to the Giants last winter. Pitching against the Yanks for 13 years with the White Sox and two with Detroit, Pierce had a 25-37 record. In the National League, this year he had a 16h6 mark with seven complete games in 23 starts. He won a "big one" with an 8-0 shutout over Los Angeles in the playoff opener and snuffed out the last Dodger hope with a 1-2-3 relief job in the ninth inning of the final playoff game. The 24-year-old Stafford wound up with a 14-9 year for the He completed only seven of 33 starts.

The young right-h a from Athens, N. Y.r appeared in two series games against Pittsburgh in 1960, both in relief, and started the third game against Cincinnati last year when he was knocked out in the seventh. Stafford was roughed up last Sunday by the White Sox in the last regular season game. Pierce also had Series experience but oh, so briefly. He was in Manager Al Lopez'3 doghouse in 1959 and saw action in three games as a relief pitcher when the White Sox played the Dodgers.

Back in the Stadium for the next three games, the Yanks were 7-5 favorites in the third game and 9-5 favorites for the (See SERIES, Page D-6) scoreboard) day. Short, chop stepping Charles Buckalew, only promoted from the fourth team this week, bounced around on a dozen carries for 91 yards. This included a 59-yard run in the third quarter, a non-scoring effort but certainly the Longhorns second half answer to Koy's and Ford's first half sprints. As the nationally third ranked Orange pummelled the winless Green Wave, it crunched out 241 yards rushing and 73 passing. This total offense of 313 yards was 68 more than Tulane's 72 on rushes and 137 from 13 pass completions.

Stocky Pat Culpepper, the All-America linebacker, joined in the ball-carrying fun as Poage's sub they toyed with Tulane for a i 8 triumph Saturday night. It was obvious at halftime that Bud is the coach of the Long horns' next opponent and not one RAYMOND I of the parlay-card players. For, at that instance with the Longhorns 31-point favorites appearing far under par despite a 13-0 lead, he exclaimed: "They look absolutely great to me. He was particularly impressed stitute and shared second place among the individuals with 41 yards. What makes this strange with a couple of long punt returns, when soph wingback Ernie is that the fiery Longhorn co-captain hasn't packed the ball offici ally since 1961 and only 17 times in his career.

Finley estimated his losses with the Kansas City Athletics this year at $1,550,000 Saturday but said he expects a better report next season. "We're going to operate the team like a business should be run," he said.

"I know we haven't operated like that in the past. "Next year we're going to operate within a baseball budget. We're not going to be going around paying $125,000 bonuses. We'll take the profits from the business and plough them back. If there aren't any profits, I'll have to borrow from myself." Finley said emphatically that he would not sell the club and said he had no plans to move, although there had been frequent reports he planned to move the American League franchise to Dallas-Fort Worth.

"My ball club is not for sale," he said, "and it'll never be for sale, even if it costs me $10 million a year. I didn't buy the club to make money. It's part of my happiness."
