MAY SUCCEED YOGI
Howard Well on Way
Toward MVP Toq

NEW YORK, Aug. % (AP)
The last catcher to win the
American Leagues most valu-
able player award was Yogi
Berra. The next may be his
Yankee successor, Elston How
ard.
Now "a and in his ninth year
in the big leagues. the 205-
pound workhorse feels he is
nearing his prime both as a
hitter and catcher. He has
powerful credentials.
Only Earl Battey of the
Twins disputes his claim as the
leagues No. / defensive catcher
and none can challenge him at
the plate.
Hitting .288, Howard has been
the Yankees most authorita-
tive swatter and run producer
this year. He has been a terror
since the All-Star break, hit
ting at a 1856 clip and driving
in 80 Of his SO runs.
Streak Snapped
During that five-week span
Ellie has driven home the win
ming run In Is games.
Towards 10 game hitting
streak was snapped by Cleve-
lands Jim Grant yesterday as
the Indians defeated the YAM
KEGS, ia. He reached base once
on a walk, ahead of Johnny
Blanchard's grand-slam home
run that accounted for all the
New York runs.
However, Tito Francona, Fred
Whitfield and Willie kirkland
homered for Cleveland to help
inflict the 18th loss against IA
victories for Ralph Terry.
TITS always been my ambi-
ton to become the best catcher
in baseball" Howard said, land
I don't think I'm being cocky
when I say I am somewhere
around there now.
II feel I have smartened ur
in the last few years, ever since
I became the regular catcher
in 1861. All the things that

Ralph Houk have taught me
have finally taken root. I've
learned a great deal about hit
ting as well as catching. Things
come naturally to me now"
Using Heavier Bat
Howard enjoyed a prosperous
1861 season, reaching q career
high Of .343, but his average
Owed to PIT last year. Search
ing for an antidote. the g.
foot-2 righthanded slugger
turned to a heavier bat. He
discarded his 80 and "a ouncers
and ordered a batch of SO and
38-ounce models. The expert
ment proved successful.
II now can wait longer on
the PITCH" Howard explained
THE heavier bat keeps me
from lunging and I can hit the
outside pitch to rightfield.
Instead of swinging from
the rear end like I used to, ]
Just lay the bat on the ball
And I find you can nit the ball
just as far without swinging
too hard"
Howard does not profess to
be a home-run hitter but he's
already slammed "a, a personal
high.
I'D like to hit seven more
this year." he said. indicating
he is well aware of the league
record Of 80 homers for q
catcher in a season shared by
Berra and Gus Triandos OF
Detroit. But I won't be trying
for them. I Just swing for base
hits. 1t would be nice to break
the home-run record but I'd
rather hit 500 ana drive in
100 runs"

Had|, A|worth
Team Up as
Chargers Roll
By the Associated Press

The deadly passing combina-
ton Of John Hadl and Lance
Alworth, which was disrupted
in the latter's rookie year with
San Diego because of injuries,
bloomed anew as they teamed
up impressively last night at
Houston.
Hadl passed is yards to
Alworth, the former Arkansas
speedster, for a touchdown in
the first period and then
Tipped one 60 yards to him to
set up a second touchdown in
the third period as the
Chargers defeated the Houston
oilers, 21-3.
Had also passed ~ yards to
Bob Jackson for a fourth
quarter touchdown and for the
night completed Ia of % at
tempts for 200 yards. A crowd
of 1855 turned out for the
American Football League ex-
hibition.

Chargers Intercept

The only points Houston, the
1868 ALL runnerup, could mus
ter came on a field goal by
George Blanda, who kicked a
27-yarder in the second period.
Blanda also completed 10 of
80 passes for TIA yards, but he
had three of his throws in
tercepted. San Diego gathered
in five of the Houston aerials.
The victory preserved San
Diego's perfect record in four
exhibition games against the
Oilers, but 1t was the first time
for the Chargers to win in
Houston in five games played
there since the AFL was organ
lied in 1860.
The folks in Kansas City to-
night get another chance to
show the transplanted Dallas
Texans they'll support them, as
the Chiefs meet the Denver
Broncos. In their home opener
after their shift, only $500 fans
turned out to welcome the de-
Tending AFL champions.

's. Reduction Is Goal
Mr.. Bebchick said today that
he and his fellow appellant
will ask in their memoranda to
the court for immediate REIN
statement of the 20-cent cash
fare" They will also ask the
court to place the extra money
collected from cash fare riders
over the last three years into
a fund which could be used to
keep transit fares at the 20
cent level for the foreseeable
future and to moderate any
further increases thereafter"
The area transit commission
has estimated that about Is
per cent of D. c. Transit's
riders pay cash fares.
President o. Roy Chalk of
D. G. Transit siad he and his
lawyers had not read the opin-
ion. Asked If the import of it
is not that there might be a
fare reduction, he said: ITS
hard to say. don't know what
it all means. Nobody will know

chick said: 1--WE are extremely

set forth sound legal and ac-
counting principles which
should guide the area commits
sion in future rate cases to give
full recognition to the interests

The majority opinion said
che P. u. C.'s calculations of the
company's net operating income
would be shown to be substan-
tially larger" if it had not
committed "errors" in allow
ances for track removal and
repaving and bus depreciation.
The majority also said that
the P. U.C.'s allowance to the
empany for depreciation
charges on abandoned rail
properties sis not supported
by finding, in turn supported
by evidence" that the company
was not already compensated
for the risk Of obsolescence or
abandonment of rail property.
The 1860 District P. U. c.
order while raising the cash
fare left the token fare at five
for 81. The company had
asked for a two-step increase:
First a cash fare of 25 cents
during rush hours and 20 cents
at other times, and then after
November /, 1860, a 25-cent
rate at all times with no tokens.
