Bill Would Aid Fishermen

Service Act applies only to fish, ermen holding a contract of em- ployment as far as medical benefits are concerned.
 As a result of the ruling, many owners of small boats who fish aboard their own yes sels are not now eligible for treatment at Public Health Ser vice facilities.
 In commenting on his latest proposal Rep. Rivers said, While it is logical to exclude owners of large fishing vessels who do not fish aboard their craft, there is no reason why those who man their own small vessels should not be entitled to medical care along with the fishermen who serve aboard large vessels

young man wore the look of ball player.
Ron Stillwell, fresh off the Southern Cal
,ifornia campus, is trim, well-built and has
the natural grace of an athlete. But on
the bench, as he awaited his major league
debut against the Red SoX, Ron admittedly
was nervous.
Il guess I'll be all right, once we start
playing" Ron muttered. He had a baseball
which he kept pounding into his glove,
dried-up piece of yellowish leather with
a tear in the palm. 1t wasn't very stylish

A LOT OF MAJOR LEAGUE teams
wanted the collegian, who signed with
Washington after stipulating that he break
into pro ball on the highest level instead
of starting in the minors. The Los Angeles
Dodgers were among bidders who offered
at least as much in cash, Stillwell admitted,
but they couldn't promise to carry him on
the parent roster.
"Ive got nothing against playing in
the minors" the 21-year-old shortStop
said. II expect to be sent down, I really
do It's just that wanted to start in the

That History
Won't Repeat
BY the Associated Press

The Cincinnati Reds go into
the Fourth of July firing at the
head of the National League
pennant race for the first time
in four years-and it would be
just as well for Reds fans that
history doesn't repeat.
July 4 was the last day Gin
cinnati was on top in 1857. The
Reds fell to second place July
5 and finished fourth, IS games
behind pennant-winning Mil
waukee.
This time, Cincinnati carries
a two-game lead into the mid
season holiday after beating
Pittsburgh, 4-3, last night. The
Second-place Los Angeles

Wally Post and Vada PinSon
provided an odd parley. in the
Reds victory over the Pirates
and Joe Gibbon (6-4. They
drove in all of Cincinnati's
runs, each batting in a pair,
but they had only one hit be-
tween them for a total of six
at-bats. Post got his two RBI
with a second-inning home
run. Pinson batted in a third
inning run while grounding
out, then brought in the
clincher with a sacrifice fly in
the eighth.
Righthander Jim Maloney
(5-4) was the winner. He gave
up only five hits, but two were
homers by Bill Virdon and
Dick Stuart, and he needed
relief from Bill Henry and Jim
Brosnan for the last two outs.
A ninth-inning, tie-break-
ing single by Maury Wills won
for the Dodgers while South
paw Sandy Koufax, topping
the MI with his 18th victory,
and Reliever Larry Sherry held
the Braves to three hits. Bob

killer, failed for the 18th
straight time to pitch a com
plete game against Los
Angeles.
Koufax Q1-4) walked six
and struck out seven. He gave
up all three hits, two by Ed
Mathews, in his eight innings.
The Braves scored one in the
