His second homer, a 457-foot, three-run drive in the sixth, cleared the center field fence and wrapped up the decision for right-hander 'Dave Welterweight? WAYNE BOLDEN, Sports Editor Pan-American Games Are Opened By Prince Phillip PITTSBURGH (AP) Home runs by Roberto Clemente, Bill Mazeroski and Donn Clendenon led an 18-hit onslaught that carried the Pittsburgh Pirates past Houston 15-2 Sunday for a split of their doubleheader. Jim Wynn smacked a pair of homers in the first game, setting a club record and powering the Astros to an 8-5 victory. Besides blasting his 14th homer in the nightcap, Clemente lashed a triple and single, driving in two runs and scoring two more. Mazeroski's three-run shot in the first inning gave Tommie Sisk all the support he needed en route to his eighth victory in 15 decisions.

But the Pirates, who drubbed the Astros by. the same score Friday night, never let up against loser Barry Lat-man and three successors. Wynn's first homer in the opener, a bases-empty" shot in the third inning, tied the Astros' season mark of 24 set by Roman Pavilla fight and their' $35,000 guarantee for the Harris fight in escrow before agreeing to proceed Monday. Hayles has said the fight will be nationally televised, with a contract that will pay at least $24,000. "If Cokes doesn't fight, they'll have to build a hew.

There were about 15,000 spectators at the start The carefully prepared hair- I'dos of the girls were ruined by the steady rain but they, as well as most of the others marching to the gay music of the massed bands, had smiles on their faces as they, carried on.

The United States, with track and swimming squads stronger even than- its last Olympic team, is favored to dominate the competition in 20 sports which ends Aug. 6. Canada and Mexico are expected to vie for the runner-up position. "I have the honor to declare the Fifth Pan-American Games open," said Prince Phillip and a royal fanfare rang out.

(AP) Arthur Ashe, the nation's ranking player, coupled xa deft drop shot with his patentedbig service and defeated fellow Davis Cupper Marty Riessen 4-6, 6-3, 6-1, 7-5 to win the National Clay Court men's singles title Sunday. It wasthe first time since Ashey Richmond, was a junX ior's player that he has won a major tournament on clay. Army duties have kept Ashe from playing too much compet itive tennis lately, Nancy Richey won the wom en's singles for the fifth con secutive year as she wore down third-seeded Rosemary Casals with ground strokes to win for a 6-2, 6-3 victory. Riessen, Evanston, 111., wilted in the 90 degree temperature after a dazzling first set in which he continually caught Ashe out of position with passing shots that streaked down the sidelines. But midway through the second set, Ashe began to crack Riessen's resistance' as he started challenging the former Northwestern star at the net.

Ashe said that he believed Riessen wilted under' the pressures theweek's playing -load rather than the heaf'v'All I had this week was singlesHc's had doubles. He just tired out." I Riessen -agreed. "Physically, 'm not tired. It's just mentally I am really tired." Riessen said the difference was more in Ashe's return "serves and ground strokes, than in any other factor ln-he match. "That's what really hurt me," he said.

He had been training in Philadelphia while waiting to see if there would be a fight, said J'so he ought to be in Hayles said he" "didn't know the situation on Cokes since the champion is out of touch while his fishing trip but that he expected Cokes to be within the limit of 147 pounds also. Meanwhile, the Dallas Times Herald quoted Harris as saying was overweight for the fight and that Cokes had indicated he would not show up for the weigh-in. The newspaper said both sides felt Monday's scheduled, then canceled, then scheduled- again title fight would not come off.

'I haven't worked out since I left there Wednesday," Harris said. "It would probably take me three or four weeks to make the weight now." It was Wednesday that Commissioner Charles King Jr. of the Bureau Labor Statistics canceled the bout by suspending the license the Greater Dallas Sports Association, promoted by Kenneth Hayles and Tommy One of four reasons was Hayles' failure to pay Cokes, in full for his May 19 title defense against Francois Pavilla of France. Held As Planned But Hayles won a ruling Friday from Dist. Judge Herman Jones in Austin, blocking King's action.

Hayles soon after said the fight would be held as planned, and he predicted, a sellout crowd, Cokes is repoYt-c I fishing in East Texas. His attorneys told the Times Herald, however, that he won't show up for the Monday, noon weigh-in, "Cokes doesn't have 50 cents more than he did before the restraining order was issued," attorney Ralph Hall said, referring to Cokes' petition that the promoters owe him $20,000 from the Pavilla bout. Judge Jones said his adction onlv stopped King from interferr tog with the fight- but-did-notlb. ing to command cokes to tignt. If Cokes fails to show, Jones said, "he would place himself in the same position as any other fighter who fails to luuiu a contract when there is no barrrier from the state commission."

Winnipeg, which has been sweltering in temperatures well over 90 degrees, welcomed a slight easing' in its heat wave. More than 20,000 jammed into the Municipal Stadium for the ceremonies. Active competition starts Monday. The Pan-American Games, which are held every four years and are. patterned after the Olympics, used all the traditional pomp of Olympic ceremonies the parade of athletes behind their flags followed by their massing in the green infield, the booming guns of the royal salute, and the release of 2.500 piegons as a symbol, of peace.

An Indian runner brought in the torch which lit, the, great flame that will bura night and day for the duration of the Games. It had been flown to St. Paul, from Mexico City, site of the 1955 Games arid of the 1968 Olympics, and carried here by a relay of Indians. Blue, red, and white predominated in the team uniforms. Don Schollander, 21, -of Lake Oswego, winner of four gold swimming medals at the Tokyo Olympics, carried the United States flag at the head of his team which numbered 40 him valuable against the pass and he has the size ana power to spear the oncoming runner.

Particular attention will be paid "to Don Shyr a six-one 7215-pound back with the speed of a track star, which is what he was at San Diego State. He was the second best hurdler in the country and he has been clocked at a 4.6 for 50 yards. That is almost rocket- propulsion. These aye the players who might hi termed the early developers.
