Where will they get the players? Will they work with the wants near Bevos; Set For Phillies San Francisco un. Philadelphia's Phillies come into Seals stadium tonight to meet their old nemesis, the San Francisco Giants, National League leaders by 14 games. Giant Manager Bill Rlgney wailed until the last moment to deride on a starting pitcher either John Antonelll, 14 5, or Sam Jones, 14 10. Both spell trouble for the cellar club. Antonelll has started against the Phils three times, shut them out twice and gave up only one run in his third winning effort.

Jones took one victory on a two-hitter and lost once to the Phils. In five contests at Seals stadium, the Phils have scored only once, the one time they won, 7-4. They've been shut out here four times, by scores of 60, 8 0, 8 0, 6-0. Jim Owens Is Eddie Sawyer's choice to try to improve the statistics. Owens has a 6-8 record, one of the losses an 8-0 job.

The Giants, with the exceptions of Jones, Antonelll, Mike McCormick, Jack Sanford and Daryl Spencer, went to Portland, Ore. Monday night and beat the Pacific Coast league Beavers, 5 0. Triples by Bob Schmidt and Willie Mays and an inside the park homer by Hobic Landrith provided the power before the exhibition game crowd of 18,001. Al Worthington gave up five hits in the first five innings, Gordon Jones worked the final four, giving up three hits and striking out eight. Thrre WatsonviliP runneri were out running the bases and another ten Mere left stranded as Santa Crux won, 51.

New York, is one of the five founders. The names and backers of the others were announced Monday at a news conference by Bill Shea, chairman of Mayor Wagner's baseball committee. Toronto, Houston, Denver and Minneapolis St.

Paul round out the group of founders. Shea listed 11 cities that have evinced interest in joining. They are Buffalo, Montreal, Atlanta, New Orleans, Miami, Indianapolis, Dallas-Fort Worth, Seattle, Portland, San Diego and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Shea said he hoped to have two or three more cities lined up with the founders before the group meets with Fricks' committee. He declined to reveal details of his plans for securing players from existing major league teams and their minor league farms.

The new league said it expected full cooperation from the American and National leagues, who voted in May to favorably consider applications for major league status by "an acceptable group of eight clubs which could qualify." Shea said the league would have a minimum of eight clubs, perhaps 10 and more than 12 when fully organized. It will play a 154. game schedule. Horace Stoneham, San Francisco Giant president, is optimistic about the newly formed Continental baseball league. "It looks as thought they have the makings of a fine league," he said Monday.

Joe Cronln, American League president, says announcement of a third major baseball league hurts minor clubs currently trying to make ends meet. "This kind of an announcement of a league including Houston, Minneapolis St.

Paul, Toronto and Denver is bound to hurt attendance in these cities," Cronin said Monday. New York City was also named a member of the new Continental League. The executive vice president of the Pacific Coast League said today he doesn't think a proposed third major league for baseball will ever get started. "They're building the new league on quicksand," said Dewey Soriano. "The cost is prohibitive.

"New York can finance a team, but how many other cities can pay 10 or 15 million for a new bail park, just as initial investment? Add a couple more million for players in each city, plus operating expenses for several seasons, and you can see the terrific cost." Soriano said a third major lea-gue would wreck eastern AA leagues, but would not hurt the TCL. MILLER PACES PENTATHLON San Antonio, Tex. UP.

The husky halfback was running at full speed in this morning's session and ripped off several nice gains, plus turning in one spectacular catch. Coach Larry siemering seems pleased over the progress of the 25 man squad. "We don't look too bad considering the number of workouts," he commented. Siemering beams with pleasure when discussing his two quarterbacks, Daryl La-monica of lovis and Novato's Jack Sparrow.

Sparrow apparently has a slight edge when it comes to passing, but Lamonica, a future Notre Dame star, is a better runner on the option play and has a great deal of football "savvy." It is still too early to make any predictions about the line cither defensively or offensively. It looks big and agile, but until it proves itself in game-type scrimmages it must remain an unknown quantity. Los Gatos Man Defeated In U.S. Horseshoe Play Murrav.

Leonard: Trice On My Head1 Los Angeles Boxing promoter Jackie Leonard says he is going into hiding. He said he has learned the underworld has a "price on my head." Leonard said he would put his home in suburban Northridge up for sale today. A mysterious fire caused $1000 damage to a bedroom of the home Sunday night. "I will tell no one where I locate," he said. "Perhaps my family will have a little peace." Leonard said the blaze was preceded by a number of telephone threats.

He said the threats resulted from his testimony of hoodlum influences in the fight game. Police have been guarding him since his appearance before a grand jury probe. But Monday Po lice Chief William 11. 1'arker charged that Leonard hasn't been cooperating. Parker said Leonard has refused to cooperate with officers assigned to protect him, has revealed that recording devices were installed at the home and has failed to carry out police instructions.

Rosonsohn Sure Rematch Will Be Held In September Goteborg, Sweden UP.

Promoter Bill Rosensohn is sure Inge-mar Johansson will defend the heavyweight title against Floyd Patterson as per agreement in the United States in September. Edwin Ahlquist, the champion's advisor, says there will be no negotiations until all questions about Ingemar's purse for the first fight, June 26, are fully settled. Johansson said he surely is going to the United States. He added henceforth he would only sign contracts "Where I can see the signature of my challenger on the opposite side." Ahlquist and Rosensohn held conferences all day Mondav. Then Ahlquist called a press conference to explain tnat tne promoter was going back to New York today to get a complete financial statement on the first fight Rosensohn had nothing to say at the conference.

WE Watsonville left 10 men stranded and another three were called out while running the bases. The losers left the. bases loaded in the fourth frame and left two men on in each of the third, fifth and sixth innings.

Fetty, who surrendered five bits, one more than the Santa Cruzans could collect, struck the heavy portion of Watsonville's order in the fifth after an error and a fielder's choice had put two men aboard. The Santa Cruz ace, who effectively mixed a blazing fast hall with a tantalizing curve, whiffed John Sipin, proceeded to hook Paul Wilcox on a called third strike and then got Bob Matulich to go down waving the timber. He fanned 11 and walked four during the contest. Two Watsonville mnners. Ron Benich in the third and Wilcox in the fourth, were called out at the plate.

Wilcox was forced but Benich tried to score on a base hit when the Santa Cruz nine led. 3-0. A fine throw from Tom Johns nailed him at the plate. In the third. Matulich was out at third as he tried to come around from first on a bnc hit to left field by Mickey Welch.

Sandman's boys had taken a 3 0 lead in the top of the second without the aid of a hit. Santa Cruz left only three men stranded in the six innin? game. Skip Theherge walked to open the rally after Dale Rector had flied to right. Tommy 'Johns bunted and Paul 'Wilcox fielded the ball, looked at second, and then hurried a wild throw to first. Theberge stop-iped at third.

Lee Skinner put down another bunt and Wilcox fielded the ball, looked at Theberge to force him back, then threw wild to first again, allowing Theberge to 595 Pacific Ave. GA 3-45501 Hip kirnnd inninr nf estrr- day's Area Tournament chain- pionship. A throw from Kim Joslin nailed Matulich after Mickey Welch had singled. score. With men at second and third, Peter Fini laid down another bunt and third baseman Bob Oilman fielded the ball, made no play at first and then tried to get Skinner at third.

The ball went into left field and the third run scored. The only earned runs of the game came in the top of the fifth when Joslin beat out a roller to third after two strike outs. Rector put the blast to a 2-and 2 pitch for a long double to deep right, scoring Joslin. Then Theberge followed with another two-strike double, this one to deep center to score Rector. Watsonville's only run was linearned.

Welch was safe as Fetty hobbled his slow roller and Dick DPuy walked. Then Fetty got Oilman on a third called strike and James Ban-ovac grounded to Steve Non-neman. With a 3-and 2 count, Jim Lopes lofted a soft liner to left for a hit scoring Welch. Fctty got Oary Birlem to ground out to end the pame and end the final Watsonville threat.

By Tom Siler NEA Special Correspondent Knoxville, Tenn. (NEA) A cartoon showed a Little League catcher prodding the small boy who was pitching. The catcher was saying: "Listen, kid, you're in the big time now you're not just playing catch with your old man!" That was good for a chuckle.

And there was some meat to the thing, too. Little League is getting to be pretty serious stuff, especially if you are a boy between the ages of eight and 12, or the parent of such a boy. I had heard of parents who hang over a Little League fence and yell at the opposing pitcher, who, of course, is somebody else's little boy. I had heard of fathers who dangled cash prizes in front of junior if he gets a hit, or strikes out neighbor John's son. I had heard of fathers bawling out their sons if they failed to distinguish themselves in baseball.

AH of these things are quite disturbing. I wondered what a psychologist would say. I found out by consulting Dr. Larry DeRidder, a specialist in educational psychology at the University of Tennessee. "Baseball is a fine game for boys," he began, "but I'm afraid the emphasis is too great on winning, for boys of that age.

"As for parents, I doubt that it is healthy for them to be there all the time looking over the boy's shoulder. I believe they'd be better off participating in an activity themselves. Why not a league for parents? Then the children could watch mama and papa play baseball. "In a larger way, though, Little League touches only a small percentage of the children. What of those who don't want to play baseball? What of those who want to but cannot play well enough to make the squad? "Little League may be all right as far as it goes, but many communities set up a Little League program and beam with pride.

What of the thousands of little boys and girls who have no chance at Little League? "The program as it now is 6et up could foster juvenile delinquency, rather than combat it. Children rejected, or given no chance, are likely to withdraw within themselves. Repeated frustration of this sort can lead to trouble." Parents hardly can be objective where their progeny are concerned. Mama and papa might give a bit of thought, however, to what Little League managers say about them and the small fry Kclsfad Pitches Allcntcwn Win Harold Kolstad of Watsonville pitched six innings and was credited with a victory for Allen-town, Pa. of the Eastern (A) league last week while Boulder Creek's Bill Prout saw no action.

Kolstad now has a 7-7 won-lost mark, having pitched 103 innings, given up 102 nits, walked 43 and struck out 86. Prout, pitching for Memphis in the Southern Association, has a 9-6 record, worked 118 innings, allowed 66 runs, 143 hits and 50 walks and struck out 73.
