As I sat down to write this ar-
ticle, I had no particular idea as
to what I was going to write
about. In baseball, it’s pretty much
the same story; the Phillies re-
main in front of the staggering
San Francisco Giants in the Na-
tional League, and in the Ameri-
can League, Baltimore, Chicago
and New York are racing almost
neck-to-neck for the circuit flag,
in that order. Surprisingly, the
Washington Senators are evading
the A.L. cellar, while the Mets
are evading every position but the
cellar in the senior circuit.
Harmon Killebrew (Minnesota
Twins) is still way out in front
of all batters in both leagues with
42 home runs, Willie Mays (San
Francisco) is best in the National
League with 37 circuit pokes. The
Los Angeles Dodgers ace lefty,
Sandy Koufax, lead all N. L.
hurlers with a 19-6 won-loss slate
while rookie Wally Bunker of the
Baltimore Orioles heads the Junior
Circuit throwers at 14-3.
In other baseball news, and it
isn’t about the players, a lot of
fans were shocked when they
heard the news that the New
York Yankee franchise had been
sold to C. B. S. We don’t know
how much C. B. S. paid, that
hasn’t been disclosed. The network
bought 80 per cent of the club,
with the remaining 20 per cent
owned by Dan Topping and Del
Webb.
The Los Angeles Angels inked
a pact that provides a new home
for them — a brand spanking
new baseball stadium in Anaheim,
California. The new structure will
seat 45,000 fans and will cost 820
million to build. The park will be
just across the street from Dis-
neyland too, so if the Angels
aren’t flying too high sometimes,
they can always make a visit to
fantasy-land!
Modernized Lanes
Bring In Bowlers
The new Keflavik Naval Sta-
tion bowling lanes are as beauti-
ful and up-to-date as any in the
world. Day after day people are
finding this out while they enjoy
themselves here.
Believe it or not, for the first 12
hours the new lanes were opened
last April, they were the busiest,
most used lanes in the world.
At present, 26 games are bow-
led per line each day and 20,000
lines are played every month.
Many months of planning, work-
ing and polishing went into the
construction of the lanes we have
today. The new building was made
out of metal slabs acquired to
cut the costs of construction.
Four huts were torn down,
piece by piece, and had to be
transported to the Viking Club
for the building. Drawbacks such
as the lack of nuts and bolts, the
weather and manpower shortages
made the task all the harder.
Most of the work was done by
enlisted members of Special Ser-
vices, but volunteer help was a
real asset. Bowlers now have all
the modern conveniences. A tile
floor was laid, there is a bowling
ball cleaning machine and all 12-
lanes are equipped with new auto-
matic pin-setters which at the
same time return the ball to the
player.
In boxing, newly-married World
Heavyweight Champion Cassius
Clay has said that he wants to
fight Sonny Liston within, the next
two months, then he might retire
from the ring to go on to “bigger
fields” as a Black Muslim minister.
Clay was married last Saturday
to Sonji Ror, a Negro model in
Gary Indiana, then left for Cairo
Egypt to make a two-hour mo-
tion picture.
Taking a preview look at what
is coming up in the near future,
we can still count on a lot of
controversy as far as the pen-
nant races go in the major lea-
gues, and the World Series isn’t
real far off either. Pro football
is beginning to enter into the
sportlight. Exhibition games are
in full swing and the regular
N.F.L., A.F.L. and college sea-
sons will soon be getting under
way.
Boxing will become prominent
when Clay meets Liston next
month. No doubt we’ll hear a lot
about that by way of “(The)
Mouth.” And last, but not least,
the October Olympics will be gett-
ing underway in Tokyo. There’s
quite a bit of speculation about the
Olympic games, especially after
the 6th annual US-USSR track
and field meet last month in
which the Americans so badly
defeated the Russians, coming up
with a surprisingly strong U.S.
girls team. Next week you’ll see
our 1964-65 pro football predic-
tions, along with a run-down of
the teams, and maybe a few other
surprises thrown in.
There’s only one big story in
pro basketball, that of a coaching
change of the Baltimore Bullets.
Buddy Heanette was appointed
new coach, replacing Bob Leonard,
who supposedly “retired” because
of contract negotiation troubles.

CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY — Naval Security Group’s team captain,
Jett, receives winners trophy from Capt. Stanley E. Ellison, Command-
ing Officer, Naval Station after his team conquered the Naval Sta-
tion Softball Crown. Members of the winning team not pictured are:
Priest, Knabel, Allard, Gerdemann, Armstrong, Adanski, Bourne,
and Kosmata.
Security Scuttles Bulldogs;
Take Station Diamond Title
The Naval Station Security Group clinched the Station
Softball Championship Wednesday as they wholloped the
Marine Bulldogs 19-4 in the fourth game of a three out
of five series. The Group downed the Bulldogs three games
to one in winning the Little World Series (Keflavik).
The big upset of the season came in the four-game Semi-
Army Salvages
Volleyball Crown
During the Inter-Service Volley-
ball Championship play-off held at
Stewart AFB, Monday, the am-
phibious Navy proved to be capable
on land as well as on sea. Al-
though losing the Inter-Service
Volleyball Championship to the
Army in the final game of the
two day meet, the Navy won six
games and two matches before
bowing to the might of the Army.
The Navy began by defeating
the Air Force two straight games
in double elimination play, 16-4
and 15-12. The Air Force ba-
lanced back for a stunning 15-2
win in the third game but was
unable to keep pace with the spi-
rited Navy team as the sailors
racked up a 15-5 win, capturing
the match and eliminating Air
Force from any further competi-
tion.
Stimulated from the win over
Air Force, Navy met undefeated
Army the same evening with a
vengeance. Handicapped by having
suffered an earlier loss to Army
during the first day of competi-
tion, Navy took to winning as
ducks take to water. With seem-
ingly effortless ease Navy humbl-
ed Army by winning three straight
games 15-11, 15-3, and 15-11.
After a fifteen minute rest,
Army and Navy met for the final
match but Navy had lost its luster
and was unable to hold its own.
Fighting gamely to a 14-14 tie
during the first game of the final
match, Navy bowed as Army cap-
tured the first game 16-14 needing
only one more game for the
Championship, Army completely
dominated Navy for a final game
of 15-9 which gave them the 1964
Armed Forces Inter-Service Vol-
leyball Championship.
“I don’t have any brothers or
sisters’,, said the Hollywood
youngster, but I do have three
fathers by my mother and four
mothers by my father.”
"^'Finals when the 57th FIS who
went undefeated during the re-
gular season with a 16-0 slate
were dumped by the Marine Bull-
dogs.
The Security team went into
the game as underdogs against
the powerful AFI ball club which
had been rolling over all oppon-
ents by means of strong pitch-
ing and timley hitting.
The group wasted no time, how-
ever, in upsetting the forcasters
as they took two straight from
AFI, forcing them to watch the
remaining games from the bleach-
ers.
Capt. Stanley E. Ellison, Com-
manding Officer, U. S. Naval
Station made the trophy presenta-
tions at Shepard Field. Team and
individual trophies were present-
ed the champion Naval Security
team while the Marine Bulldogs
were presented runner-up
trophies.
Although marred by poor
weather the season proved a suc-
cess with 17 teams and over 350
personnel participating during
the season.
Sport Shorts
Major league executives, meet-
ing in Chicago, voted to cut in
players on fifth-place teams for
a share of World Series money.
The arrangement is effective this
year and should give each player
on fifth-place teams an estimated
300 dollars. The executive also
approved action by the executive
council to retain commissioner
Ford Frick in office until after
the 1965 World Series. Frick had
announced earlier that he planned
to retire at the end of his current
term, which expires in September
of next year.
