Seals Sweep Series From Bevos To Lead PCL By 3 By Bill Harrison The Associated Press The fast fading Portland Beavers, whipped by injuries and the Pacific Coast league leading San Francisco Seals, have limped back home to open a new series against San Diego. The Seals made it a series sweep over the Beavers with a 2-1 victory last night behind the three-hit pitching of Jack Spring.

The victory moved thef left Hoad, who only last Friday won his second straight Wimbledon championship, bewilder ed. He was especially hurt at remarks by officials in Australia, accusing him of breaking his word. Don Ferguson, president of the LTAA, accused him of "causing" great disappointment to the tennis public and officials in Ireland, Europe and America, in which countries we had arranged for, him to play as a member of the Australian team." I "I don't know why Mr. Ferguson said those things," said Hoad obviously distressed. "I had to be guided by my own interests.

I iidn't know when my back might act up again." He was referring to the fact that his back has bothered him on numerous occasions in the past year and, on occasion, he has beent forced to take long layoffs.

The sudden turn of events Beruth Still Trails But Finds Wind Los Angeles Wt. The Coast Guard cutter Gresham, accompanying the transpacific yacht race fleet, is hunting today for the trouble plagued schooner Nanaimo. Apparently there was only mild concern lor the Nanaimo, skip pered by William B. Palmer of the Los Angeles Yacht club.

He reported all was well on the radio roll call yesterday forenoon. But the schooner failed to make the 5 p. m. roundup contact later yesterday. Yachtsmen said this could have been due to transmitting trouble, or possible generator trouble.

Previously the Nanaimo lost use of her steering gear, but later reported she was proceeding on course after makeshift "jury rig" repairs. The ketch Beruth of Santa Cruz and the cutter Groots Beer of Portland Yacht club, trailed the fleet. But the Beruth reported picking up better wind. Frank Hooykaas' 83-foot cutter Barlovento was leading the 34-boat fleet on the basis of latest reports and was 900 miles from Los Angeles harbor on the 2225-mile run to Honolulu. The boats left here July 4.

The Barlovento was ahead, both on a boat-for-boat and handicap basis. However, the twin-hulled catamaran, Aikane, although not entered officially in the setting a fast pace, running well ahead of the entire fleet Latest reports showed these leaders by classes: A Barlovento, Constellation, Orient.

"This is a situation like a horse telling a trainer when he can run," said the handsome Cupper turned impresario. "Pancho seems to forget he is under contract to me. I will admit his contract says he doesn't have to play in a tournament of more than seven days. "Therefore, I made him an of-fer to play only seven days of the tournament. I want to bring this to a head and I expect to have it cleared up by tomorrow." The LTAA.

Promote Bout In Hollywood By Patrick McNulty Los Angeles (AP). 01 Archie Moore, his light heavyweight title hanging by a New York Athletic commissioner's ultimatum, yesterday verbally agreed to a championship fight with Tony Anthony here in September. However, the proposed bout, promoted by Singer Frank Sinatra and his business partner, Hank Sanicola, has many hurdles to clear, namely approval by the California Athletic commission. In New York yesterday Julius Helfand, New York State Athletic commission chairman and president of the World Championship Boxing committee, gave Moore until noon today (EDT) to come to written terms or forfeit his title. Moore, his manager, Charley Johnson, and Anthony and his manager, Ernie Braca, met for two hours yesterday in the office of Attorney Jules Covey, who is representing Sinatra and Sanicola.

A source close to the discussion said a verbal agreement was reached, but none of the principals would agree to be quoted. Braca explained: "Under California rules the state athletic commission has to announce it first and we don't want to get in bad with the commission right off the hat Covey said. "I am drawing up an agreement which will be presented for approval to the California Athletic commission tomorrow." Commission Secretary Clayton Frye said he could not comment on the feasibility of the proposed fight until he saw the agreement. Frye added that the bout would have to meet with the approval of Helfand and the National Boxing association, with whom California has a working agreement. Opposition to the bout was promised, however, by the two local fight clubs the Olympic auditorium and the Legion stadium.

George Parnassus, named yesterday as new Olympic matchmaker, commented at a news conference: "We (the local clubs) have the right to lose money so we should have the right to make money." Both Parnassus and Jackie Leonard, Legion matchmaker, said they objected to "amateurs" such as Sinatra and Sanicola promoting a bout in competHion to their licensed clubs, which operate weekly.1 Moore, who last defended his title 13 months ago against Yo-lande Pompey of Trinidad, said, "I'm anxious to get into the ring with Anthony." Bulletin New York (Ti- Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore has agreed to defend his title' against Tony Anthony of New York September 11 in Los Angeles' Gilmore stadium, Julius Helfand announced today. Anthony, rangy and dapper in an Ivy League suit, said, "I think I have a good chance of beating Moore." Sinatra and Sanicola teamed in 1947 to promote a fight between Jersey Joe Walcott and Joey Maxim, which failed both artisically and financially. Walcott won a dull 10-round decision and the bout reportedly lost several thousand dollars. Sanicola said the site of the proposed fight is Gilmore field, home of the Hollywood baseball team in the Pacific Coast league. In New York, Helfand said earlier: "I received a call from Los Angeles from Ernie Braca, Anthony's manager, and Jules Covey, representing singer Frank Sinatra that they were working on a contract and expected to make the deal.

"Since they said they were working in good faith on the fight, I said I would expect a call from them at 9 a.m. their time (noon) in New York with the word that the figTit had been closed. "I told them that if it had not, I would go ahead and vacate the title. As president of the World Boxing committee, I told them I did not intend to consult my colleagues further on the action." Moore, the graybeard of the championship ranks at 40, give or take a few years, hasn't defended his title since he knocked out Pompey. WE RUBBER Will Out Waar Naw Tirts SIL-CAP TIRE CO.

Lyd a It Jimmia Sllvanat 214 Water 6A 3-2313 KITU AO WITH cowrot NCI Seals three full games ahead of the runnerup Vancouver Moun-ties, whose match with Los Angeles was rained out. Sacramento reached from the PCL cellar to beat Seattle 4-2 and end Rainier southpaw Charley Rabe's bid for a loop scoreless inning record of 36Vi, Hollywood and San Diego were not scheduled. A surprisingly large crowd of 3678 turned out in San Francisco to see a brilliant pitching duel between Spring and Portland's Bob Alexander, who held the Seals hitless until the sixth inning when a run crossed on two singles and a wild throw. That evened the count with the Beavers, who had jumped to a first inning one-run leadL The Seals' Tommy Umphlett led off the eighth with a double' and Frank Kellert drove him in with a single into left center. The game's deriding run was KeUert's 60th RBI, tops in the league.

Spring, holding the Beavers hit-less though the last six innings, notched his third victory against four losses. Alexander suffered his 10th defeat against five triumphs. Sacramento's Jim Greengrass powered a homer over the right fence that snipped Rabe's long scoreless inning string. Nippy Jones, who had been sold to Milwaukee and was making his final Solon appearance, singled in a run in the third frame to even the count with the Rainiers, who had taken an early 2-0 lead. Rabe, with four shutouts and eights traight wins under his belt, remained deadlocked with Bud Watkins until the eighth.

Then AI Heist slashed a two-out, two-run double that iced the game for the cellar-dwell' ers.

Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick, re-elected to a seven-year term at $65,000 per year, thinks it is "inconceivable" that New York should become a one-club town. In the face of consistent re ports that the Brooklyn Dodgers are going to Los Angeles and the New York Giants to San Fran cisco, the commissioner expressed a "purely personal opinion" today.

"I think it is inconceivable that an area with a population of 15 million should have only one franchise," he said. "If the Dodgers and Giants should move and I am not saying they will I think the territory should be left open for another team. I think it should be declared open territory for any league." The matter of franchise moves came up at the National League meeting, shortly before the 62-year-old Frick was re-elected at the joint meeting of the two leagues for a term running to September 21, 1965. His current term expires in 1958.

Twi-Light League To Depend On Signups Tomorrow The last call for Twi-light league baseball players was issued by Jim Scoppettone. At least 15 more boys will be needed at the practice tomorrow at 5 p.m. at the upper high school diamond if the league is to be formed. Scoppettone said that at least 40 players are needed; at the present 32 have signed up. The loop is for boys between the ages of 15-17.

Managers will be Scoppettone, Ed Destaillats, Don Hogan and Butch Walters. The league is to be formed because of the absence of a Junior League this year.

State Olympic Commission Votes To Condemn Land San Francisco Cfl. The California Olympic commission yester day voted to push state condem nation of some 72 acres of private ly owned land near Lake Tahoe in Placer county which it says is urgently needed to develop the Squaw Valley site of the I960 Winter Olympics. The owners, Pan American pilot Wayne Poulson, his wife and the Squaw Valley and Livestock company, announced through their lawyer, Samuel C. Shenk, that they would continue efforts for peaceable out-of-court agreement. So did the commission.

"But time is against us and we can't wait on further discussion," said Commissioner Chairman Charles Blyth. Blyth emphasized that the commission was "not closing the door to further negotiation with the Poulsons." "But we have talked back and forth for months without reaching any practical agreement," he said, adding that it was thus decided to press at once for court action. Under state law immediate possession can be asked in the case of 40 acres needed and designated tor Hood control facilities. The commission announced it would not try to take possession of the remainder wanted for a parking area, a ski jump outrun and a sewase disposal plant until a fair price has been fixed by th courts. 1 HOW you can buy with CARE-FREE CONFIDENCE THAT YOUR CAR IS IN PERFECT MECHANICAL CONDITION that you're protected against parts nd labor costs for a full year at NO COST TO YOU!"
