Blackout ban?
WASHINGTON (A')-Rep. Robert Macdonald, chairman of the
House subcommittee on communications, says he's convinced
Congress will ban televised blackouts of home professional foot-
ball games which have been sold out.
Macdonald, a Massachusetts Democrat, said yesterday he
also intends to write his legislation to make the ban permanent
and not a one-year experiment as proposed in a bill sponsored by
Sen. John Pastore (D-R.I.). "We'll have it in time for the up-
coming season," said Macdonald after three days of hearings.
.Chuvalo returns
INDIANAPOLIS (A,) - Sixth-ranked heavyweight George
Chuvalo of Toronto will meet Mike Boswell of Youngstown, Ohio,
here on Aug. 24, it was announced yesterday.
Chuvalo, who has fought almost every big name in the
heavyweight division, and Boswell are scheduled for a 10-rounder
at the downtown Convention Center.
Colonels sold
NEW YORK (1) - The American Basketball Association
trustees yesterday formally approved the sale of the Kentucky
Colonels franchise to Ms. John Brown of Louisville.
Brown bought 52 per cent, the controlling interest, in the
Colonels from a Cincinnati group several weeks ago.
Charles Finley gave a report to the trustees on the status
of the Memphis franchise. Further action by Finley on the fran-
chise is expected in a few days.
. Pigskin for beef
MINNEAPOLIS A)-With the beef situation what it is, a
suburban Minneapolis man figured a hind quarter of choice
aged beef cut to order was worth two season tickets to Minne-
sota Vikings games.
"It dawned on me," said Allan Sachs of Golden Valley,
"that someone would give up the tickets for some meat."
Sachs is president of Morton Sausage Co. but since it
doesn't normally handle choice meat, he's found a friend will-
ing to provide the hindquarter for him to trade for the National
Football League tickets.
The tickets cost $7 a game, or $126 for a pair of season
tickets. The beef, depending on its weight, would have a retail
cost of "more than $200, if you could get it," Sachs said.
By The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE-Darrell Porter's
three-run homer capped a four-
run sixth inning yesterday, pro-
pelling the Milwaukee Brewers
to a 6-3 victory over Detroit that
snapped the Tigers' eight-game
winning streak.
Porter, a left-handed batter,
blasted his 12th homer high into
the right field bleachers off De-
troit's southpaw relief ace, John
Hiller, and erased a 3-2 deficit.
It came after singles by Pedro
Garcia, Dave May and George
Scott scored one run and chased
starter Mike Strahler (4-4).
The Tigers had taken a 3-1
lead in the fifth against Jerry
Bell (9-8) on singles by Jim
Northrup and Mickey Stanley and
a two-run double by G a t e s
Brown.
A single by Northrup, a scatch
single by Stanley, a force out and
a single by Willie Horton staked
Detroit to a 1-0 first inning lead.
Milwaukee tied it in the third on
Bob Coluccio's ninth homer.
May reached second on a
throwing error by Ed Brinkman
and scored Milwaukee's final run
on a single by Scott off Ed Farm-
er in the seventh.
Portet's home run was only the
fifth allowed by Hiller in 42 ap-
pearances. Hiller has 23 saves
and entered the game with a
1.60 earned run average.
Boston rolls
BOSTON-The Boston Red Sox
exploded for five runs in the first
inning on home runs by Orlando
Cepeda and Carlton Fisk and
went on to rout the slumping New
York Yankees 10-0 last night be-
hind the four-hit pitching of un-
beaten Roger Moret.
The triumph lifted the fourth-
place Red Sox to within 11/2
games of pacesetting Baltimore
in the American League's East
Division. The Yankees, who have
dropped six of their last seven
starts, remained in second place,
four percentage points behind the
Orioles.

Reds erupted for nine runs in
the fourth inning, after Johnny
Bench's two-run homer highlight-
ed the four-run third, and rolled
over the Atlanta Braves 17-2 last
night behind the four-hit pitch-
ing of Don Gullett.
Bench got the Reds rolling by
drilling his 21st homer of the
baseball season, off loser Roric
Harrison (6-4) after a walk, Dan
Driessen's single and Tony Perez'
sacrifice fly accounted for the
first run. Bobby Tolan's theft of
home on the front end of a dou-
le steal with Cesar Geronimo
produced the fourth run of the
inning.

nine runs in the next inning off
Harrison and Jim Panther on
seven hits, three walks, an error
and a sacrifice fly. Pete Rose
had a two-run double in the in-
ning.
The Reds added a pair in the
fifth on Bobby Tolan's RBI dou-
ble and a wild pitch and got an-
other in the sixth on Denis
Menke's sacrifice fly.

to a pair of hits by Dusty Baker
until Dick Dietz opened the At-
lanta eighth with his second
home run of the season. Andy
Kosco homered for the Reds in
the ninth.
Ryan triumphs
ANAHEIM-Fire-balling Nolan
Ryan scattered eight hits and
struck out 11 in hurling the Cali-
fornia Rangers to a 3-2 triumph

he pitched a no-hitter against
Detroit July 15.

Siebert, who was making his first
start since suffering a shoulder
injury July 5.
Dave Nelson gave Texas a 1-0
lead with a run-scoring double
in the top of the third, but Cali-
fornia scored twice in the bottom
half of the inning on a sacrifice
fly by Sandy Alomar and an RBI-
single by Alan Gallagher.
Newcomer Billy Parker, recall-
ed Wednesday from the minors,
