Are the Ports nervous, excited, expectant, or not bothered at all? Here -is what several Ports said about' tonight's upcoming gatpe with parent Orioles: TORTS' RELIEF PITCHER TerryWilshusen said: "I'd like to throw against them Just to see What the difference Is between Class A and the major leagues. Would I be awed? It would depend fin what the Orioles do. If they rocked my best pitches, then Id know I have to work harder to develop If they didn't, I'd led I'm in the wrong classification of baseball." the Orioles will he the highlight for me since Ive been playing' said pitcher Richard Fay, who added, "I want to see em hit it over the left field wall with the wind blowing in. I think Ill be shaky before the game, but okay after it gets started. (Fay means he doesnt think even the Os power men poke it out of Hebert with the wind blowing in.

SHORTSTOP JUNIOR KENNEDr remarked: "Im klnda looking forward to it, but its just an exhibition. I'd like to see (Mark) Belanger' (Baltimore shortstop) Ive heard so much about him." Catcher Derk Moving said: "I'm excited. I want to compare the teams. Infielder Vic' Torruellas commented: "It will be great experience to play against big league ball players. I will try to do better against them.

Dyar Miller, Ports pitcher, said: "I really think well win and I kind of expect' it. They put on their pants one leg at a time Just like everyone else, dont they? Theres not much difference, but they have developed the art of baseball through experience. "PM NOT NERVOUS," REPLIED outfielder Cliff Matthew. "Im a little excited. I want to see how I do against big league pitching.

The. only difference. between the teams! is that they make fewer, mistakes; thkts why they're there. Consistency of performance is what minor league teams dont have." Outfielder Pete Watts said; "Well have to go all out to win. Im not nervous, you must stay relaxed to play well.

We have good speed, good pitching and good hitters. If We put it together and hustle, we can win." "Im looking forward to it'll be nice experience to face big league pitching, said catcher Jim Kelly. Pitcher Emmanuel Fitzgerald, who had' an ailing arm -last year and spent most of the year in Baltimore, said: Its Just a regular game. I know all the guys on the Orioles." INFIELDER RALPH MANFREDI said: "If Just another game; an exhibition, and doesn't count. I'm more fired up about our California League race."

"I dont care what this club does," Durocher told The Associated Press Sunday, "our writers just, dont want to give the players any credit. I cant understand it.

Ron Santo triples off the center field wall in the ninth Inning and then scores to give us a 3-2 win Saturday and here's a paper which says it was a windblown pop-up. "When Ken Holtzman threw three straight shutouts, you know what they were writing about? Ill tell you. They were writing about the great amount of runs the dub scores every time Kenny pitches." Durocher was really geared up now and continued: "If a dub is not hustling, not trying, then rip the players. But when a. team is doing what this dub is doing, the players deserve some praise.

"How in the hell did we. get where we are? Were 7 gamed in front. Are any of these other getting the great press that far ahead? Now Im not taking anything away from Mickey Mantle but through the years all I read about was the great handicap under which was playing. Fine, but what about our Glenn Beckert? "Heres a kid who nearly had his back broken by Mike Shannon in St. Louis.

Wbat happens? He missed one game. Again, all he did was miss one game. hes out there playing with a bum leg. Funny, I havent been, anything, about Beckert, let alone playing under a handicap. There are half a dozen other players like him on this dub.

They're putting out 110 per cent But still, aU they get Is faint praise. When I was In New York, there was a writer that had two stories one for when we won and one for when we lost r' "It we won, I was never mentioned. When we lost, my name was in the lead graph. Im not sure, yet, but I think one of our writers is doing the same thing. "All I can say is that its a situation.

Heres a dub that was in the. second division for 21 years "Now the writers have a winner and you think theyd be Jumping witlj Joy because of it Instead it seems to me; they try extra hard to put down our every victory, "I give up. I Just cant figure It out, Raiders Sign Linebackers OAKLAND A pair of rookie linebackers, Harold Rice from Tennessee and Dave Hus-ted of Wabash College, have signed to play with the Oakland Raiders.

Instead of taking the. day off, the Orioles will play the exhibition at Hebert in a show of appreciation for Stocktons support in the development of Orioles players. Some of the greatest players In baseball today are with Baltimore Frank Robinson, only man to be most valuable in both the A me; i can.and.

National League; third baseman Brooks Robinson, most valuable in the American League in 1964, Boog Powell, slugging first baseman, and others. Robinson, currently hitting .325 (3rd best; in the A.L) with homers and 36 runs batted in, was the National Leagues MVP in 1961 at Cincinnati and earned the award In the American in 1966 when Baltimore gained baseballs championship.

Baltimore shortstop Mark Belanger is considered one of the best glovemen in the big leagues. Former Port now on the Bal-t i roster are, the years at Stockton in parenthesis: Outfielder. Paul Blair (1963); inf ielder Bob Floyd (1964); outfielder Merv Retten- mund (1965-66); lnfielder Dave Johnson (1962); outfielder' Curt Motion (1963), and outfielder Dave May (1963). Blair, and Johnson are regulars, Blair hitting in die 280s and Johnson in the 200s. Blair has nine homers.

Both managers Indicated they would start their normal lineups tonight, but the Orioles figure to substitute liberally thereafter which would be natural in a game of this type. The Ports dont have that many players to sub too often. has had several preseason major league exhibitions but this is the first time a major league team is visiting Hebert Field during the tegular season. Though most of the box seats have been sold, some still are available at the gate along with plenty. of general admission tickets.

A betting man probably would say the Orioles would be favored to win tonight's engagement, but the Ports have the speed to give the Birds a battle. NOTED SKATER DIES OSLO, Norway (AP) Ivar Ballangrud, who won three gold and one silver medal in the speed skating events of the 1936 Winter Olympics, died Sunday. He was 65. Mets Sweep Giants, 5-4 (Continued from Page 19) deciding run and making a winner of reliever Ron Taylor, who pitched the ninth inning. Taylor saved, Friday nights victory striking out Willie Mays and Willie McCovey in the ninth Mays and McCovey were waiting tor Taylor, again in the ninth Sunday.

"You can bet I thought about it when I saw them, said Taylor. "As good as those guys are, theyre bound to get me sooner or later. Theyre better hitters than I am a pitcher. They sure make more money." Taylor retired Mays on a line drive but gave up a double to McCovey the third hit of the game for the big first baseman. ONLY TO THIRD Even that was a minor accomplishment since McCovey had hit his 16th homer of the year, fifth in the last six games and 35th of his career against the Mets, v': McCovey made it to third but no farther as Taylor preserved the 4-4 tie.

Then came Gibbons wild streak in the bottom of the ninth and the Meta winning run. Manager Gil Hodges celebrated the victory by dining on some watermelon. "It Just happened to be here, he said. I dont know what the occasion Is."
