oswell Hands
Sixth Straight
Spudders
Loss. 9-2
By MURRAY FORSVALL
Sports Editor
The most recent Spudder los-
ing streak ran to six straight Tues-
day night at Sportsman Park as
the fioswell Rockets took an easy
9-2 victory over the hometowners.
Lefty Tom Sawyer set the Spud-
ders down with only five hits. Two
Rockets six ruhs. Abshire gave up
the other three tallies in the next
two frames and Pedro Moreno came
on to blank the Rockets in the final
two stanzas.
Ozzie Alvarez opened the game
with a walk off McMillan and
Dwain White doubled and the Rock-
ets had a quick tally. White went
of these hits, were home runs—Ken to third when the ball got by Cluley
in centerfield and scored minutes
WARSHAW OUT
WITH BROKEN HAND
Morris Warshaw, Spudder
right-fielder and second base-
man, sustained a broken hand
last night when he was struck
with a pitch by Tom Sawyer In
the second inning.
Warshaw started to swing but
held up when he saw the pitch
coming high and inside. The
ball struck the youngster on
the outside of his right hand
and broke a bone.
He was to undergo an opera-
tion on the hand at the Sweet-
water Hospital Wednesday
morning.
He will be lost to the Spud-
ders for the remainder of the
season. He was batting only
.115 but in the last few contests
had shown signs of becoming a
good, all-around player.
He just graduated from Roby
High this year. *
Cluley's 14th and Charley Tuttle's
15ih—to give the Spudders their
only runs.
Carlsbad moves into Sportsman
Park tonight and Ollie Ortiz will
try to put the brakes on the los-
ing streak. Game time is 8 p. m.
Wayne McMillan opened on the
hill for the Spudders and was re
lieved by Bob Abshire after pitch-
ing five innings and jiving the
Gil Hernandez Draws
38-Day Suspension
Spudder pitcher Gil Hernandez
has been suspended for thirty days
by League President Harry James
for the incident that occured in the
second inning of Monday night's
game between Roswell and Sweet-
water.
Hernandez protested a call made
by Umpire .jim Tongate on a play
at home plate. Big Gil flung his
glove to the ground and yelled to
Tongate, "Umpire, man was out."

McCarty. however
back and with the help of two oth- wor
er members of the team managed
to lead Gil off the field but they
couldn't stop the verbal spanking
that Hernandez was giving Ton-
gate.
Hernandez left here at 6:15 Tues-
day for his native home in Havana,
Cuba. Since the season had only
34 games to run after the suspen-
sion was invoked, the penalty ac-
tually ended the season for the 19-
year-old Cub^n.
Hernandez had the best record
of any Spudder pitcher, having
won eight games and lost six. His
loss leaves the Spudders with five
pitchers—Wayne McMillan, Ollie
Ortiz. Donz Stevens. Pedro Moreno
and Bob Abshire.

Johnson Will Take
A's To Kansas City
If Offer Accepted
NEW YORK, Aug. 4 —UP— Ar-
nold Johnson, the Chicago realtor
who negotiated the sale of Yankee
Stadium, said Wednesday he want-
ed "to know in the next week or
two" whether he can buy the Phila-
delphia Athletics and transfer the
American League franchise to
Kansas City.
"1 believe I've made a fair and
substantial offer for the team,"
Johnson said. "I don't know when
the Athletics' officials intend mak-
ing up their minds, but I want to
know in the next week or two." \
Johnson said he understands the 1
Athletics have scheduled a club di-
rectors' meeting for next Wednes-1
day but "I have no idea whether
they intend making a decision at
that meeting."
Johnson revealed plans to expand
Kansas City's stadium from its
current seating capacity of 17,200
to "35,000 or 36,000."
"If I can get the team. I'm def-
initely taking it to Kansas City,"
he explained. "I own the stadium
in Kansas City and believe we can
increase its seating capacity to 35,-
000 or 36,000.
.'ohnson did not reveal the amount
of his offer but it is estimated at |
about $4 million. Under such an ar-
rangement. Connie Mack and his
sons. Earle and Roy, would get
S700.000 each with the remainder
of the money cancelling debts re-
ported at more than S800.000.
Johnson's confirmation that the
offer to purchase the Athletics was
being considered followed repeated
denials by club officials that the
transfer was impending.
In Kansas City, hopes were high
that the transfer of the A's fran-
chise to that city is near.
Residents of Kansas City went to
the polls Tuesday to vote on a $2
million bond issue to buy the
American Association ball park for

Carter, FI ana ban
To Meet Tonight I
CHICAGO. Aug. 4 —UP— Light-
weights Jimmy Carter and Glen
Flanaban meet in a 10-rouiid tele-
vision bout from the Chicago Sta-
dium Wednesday night and it's
likely the 135-pound title shot al-
ready promised to Carter will await
the winner.
Carter, the 9 to 5 favorite for the
brawl, once held the champion-
ship. He lost it to Paddy De Mar-—
co in his last outing. Since then he®
has been promised a rematch, ten-
tatively set for Sept. 22.
Bui defeat Wednesday night
would cost him that chance. A vic-
tory for Flanagan, a St. Paul boxer
who has lost only 14 bouts in 91
starts, would get him the title op-
portunity.
Carter admitted he would entei
the ring regarding the meeting as
a title bout.
"Glen is much like De Marco.
he said. "Except he's a better box-
er than De Marco."
Thus he believed the drill would
prepare him expertly for a victory
over De Marco to regain his
crown.
Both fighters boast 26 knoekouls
in their pro careers and Iheir rec-
ords were close in every depart-
ment. Carter has won 65 fights,
Flanagan 66; Carter has been beat-
en 17 times and has eight draws,
while Flanagan has 11 draws.
The bout was expected to draw®
around 1.000 spectators, but each
fighter will get a guaranteed $4,000
from television for the major por-
tion of their pay.
