Miteff, Hunter Battle Tonight

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)—Alex Miteff, the ambling Argentine heavyweight contender, Thursday ruled a 4-1 favorite to beat tall Billy Hunter of ‘Detroit and rack up his fourth straight victory to- be tele- cast_ nationally from War Memorial Auditori ,

The burly butcher: Boy has dis- Posed of Harold Carter, Wayne Bethea and Alonzo Johnsdh in re- cent months and now is ranked seventh among the heavies by the National Boxing Association.

Hunter, a lanky, 26-year-old counter-puncher, says he is look- ing forward to his first fight on national ‘TV. Hunter, 6-3%, will give 10 pounds to the 205-pound Miteff but his reach could cause Alex trouble.

SUGAR RAY STABLEMATE Hunter, a stablemate of Sugar

since 1954 for a 126-2 record. He has scored six knockouts, but was floored by Sonny Liston in Chicago in June, 1958.

George Gainford, who advises Robinson, took over Hunter a year ago. He hopes to push Billy into contention.

Miteff, 24, was riding “high on 2 - straight triumphs when he first fought in Syracuse in Octo- ber, 1957. Big, Mike DeJohn flat- tened Miteff in the first round, and Alex has been in the dold- rums until lately.

The Miteff-Hunter scrap is a substitute for one between De- John and Charlie Powell of San Diego, This bout was put off un- til Nov. 6 when Powell came down with a virus.

Miteff's latest flurry has boosted his record to 19 wins, three losses and a draw. ’

The anxiously awaited opening of the duck season is within six days of becoming a reality Sportsmen are awaiting the big event with mixed feelings. Many have already written it off as a flop. There ample grounds for this state mind. For once this columnist is at a loss with re- gard to predicting duck hunting success, or otherwise, on Thurs- day, October ist. Up until Aug- ust Ist the duck situation was ex- tremely’ bright.’ Black ducks and Bluc-wing teal had an excellent hatch. Nevertheless wildlife au- thorities at Ottawa ruled that we accept a 2 duck reduction in the daily bag limit. This season the daily limit is 6. . not. 8.

HUNTERS CORNER Hunters Anxiously Await Opening Of Duck Season

I feel that we had a normal crop of blacks and a better than normal crop of blue-wing teal. On the other hand, Ring - necked ducks, a species that boosted the hunter’s také for years, took a bad beating last winter and are down close to 75 per cent. It didn’t happen here but on their wintering grounds in the U.S. to the south of us. With respect to our local. blacks and eq cay pond and pot-hole held its quota of birds on August Ist.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — San Fran- cisco Giants are almost out of the National League pennant pic- ture after a five-game skid, but manager Bill Rigney said Thurs- day: “‘As long as there's a slim = in the wind. we'll clutch at

Asked what he thought of his club's chances, the slim, grey haired pilot retorted:

By JACK HAND.

Associated Press Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE (AP)—Idle Mil-} waukee hoped for the return of | shortstop Johnny Logan and cen- ter fielder Bill Bruton for to-| night's vital series opener with Philadelphia Phillies.

Tied for the National League | lead with Los Angeles, the Braves | spent most of the open date at the ball park.

Manager Fred Haney con- firmed Lew Burdette (21-14) as his starter pitcher for the opener, with the last-place Phillies. He | said Warren Spahn (20-15) will follow Saturday afternoon but did not name his Sunday pitcher.

Word from Philadelphia was that Don Cardwell (9-10) would be the Phil starter against Bur-| dette in the last night game.’ Robin Roberts (15-16) and Jim Owen (12-11) will work the other games.

TROUBLE AHEAD

The Phillics have given the Braves plenty of trouble this sea- son although Milwaukee holds an 41-8 edge in the season series. In eight games at County Stadium,

the Braves have a 5-3 edge. i

In Cardwell’s last appearance at Milwaukee he won his own game with a two-run homer to beat Bob Buhl Sept. 1. He is 2-2 against the Braves and Burdette is 3-3 against the Phils this sea- son.

_ Logan said he was ready to re- sume play after missing six games due to an infected toe on his kft foot. He returned to ac- tion briefly during Wednesday night's 5-4 defeat at Pittsburgh. |

Haney wouldn’t say Logan would start, preferring to wait un- til tonight. It was the same story with Bruton who | strained an |
