THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN FrL, Sept. 15, 1967 21 Conigliaro Out Rest of Season Red Sox outfielder Tony Conigliaro, beaned last month, will be unable to play anymore this season because of blurred vision. A club spokesman said an examination Thursday showed his vision improved, but "the imbalance of vision between his two eyes makes distance judgment poor so hitting or catching a ball is impaired." The medical report added that batting might be dangerous at this time. Conigliaro will undergo another examination in 10 days The Cincinnati Reds called up right-hander John Tsitouris, who posted a 17-7 record and 2.71 earned run average at San Diego. Tsitouris will join the club Friday Veteran right-handed pitcher Bob Shaw, 34, was released by the Chicago Cubs, for whom he was 0-2 in nine appearances since being acquired in July from the New York Mets, where he was 3-9.

Any playoff would start October 2, the day after the close of the season and delay the October 4 World Series opener. If two teams tie, they'll play a best-of-three series. If three deadlock, it will be a round-robin until two of thern have lost two games. If four are knotted, then will be best-of-three semifl nals and best-of-three fl nals.

At least, top pre-season contenders for two league crowns will clash. The No. 1 game in the state will feature Mc-Guinness vs. Southeast at Capitol Hill Stadium.

The Fighting Irish" were tabbed to walk off with the championship in their first year in the Capital Conference, while Southeast was rated to Washington, 7-0, in the Tulsa All-City preview and Sooner, only two years old, gave coach Bill Holbrook a good debut by edging Neosho, 13-12. In a prestige contest, Yukon travels to Pauls Valley in the No. 6 game. The Millers will be without Robert Jensen, who at 215 pounds is the largest man on Rene Huckaba's squad.

The 8 p.m. program will be capped by a pair of 20-lap features. Wayne Cox of Lawton, who snared the season title in his home town only last Saturday, stands atop the city list with 1,688 points and a none-too-safe lead over Dale Case at 1,550 and Bobby Reynolds at 1,540. Should Cox win the city championship, he would become the first state driver ever to win titles at two state tracks in one: season.

Cox -has been runner-up here the past two years to Carl Ferguson and Evard Humphrey. Ron Hames of Norman1 holds a slim lead in the tight quarter-mile standings. Hames has 356 points, but Roy Fatton is right on his heels with 347 and Danny Daniels (334) and Clarence O'Neal (312) are within range. A sweep on the half-mile track is worth 165 points and a quarter-mile sweep can net 53 points. If Friday's card is rained out, it will be made up Sunday.
