Giants staying in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Horace Stoneham has his financial house all straightened out, so much so that he and his Giants can live in San Francisco at least a couple of more years on their own and there will be no need for fellow National League owners to pass the hat around. While the NL insists it will never give give up its territorial rights in the Bay Area to the American League even if it has to subsidize the Giants, Stoneham, a proud man who would never accept chari ty, insists he will vacate for greener pastures if he can’t make it on his own. “I’m going to give it one more year and then I’ll have to start considering a move,” Stoneham said Wednesday on a hurried visit home from Arizo- Blazers playing to get money ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) - The Florida Blazers figure if they quite now, they’ll never get paid. That’s why they kept on pounding, getting ready for tonight’s World Football League playoff game against the Philadelphia Bell. “We’re playing in the playoffs because we have no choice,” said defeisive end John Ricca. “We’ll never see our money if we leave now.” The Blazers, winners of the league’s East Division with a 14-6 record, haven’t received a full paycheck in 12 weeks. And as late as the day before the game they didn’t even know who they were working for. A group of local investors reportedly agreed to purchase the franchise a couple of weeks ago at a reported $3 million, half of which would go to pay off old debts. The players Wednesday were still waiting for their pav. A club spokesman denied reports Wednesday that the NEAL’S AUTO SERVICE i 215 N. 9th St (Across From Harris Ser. Sta.) ♦ Ga.

The Giants fell out of the running in the NL West by early June this past season and wound up with a total attendance of barely over 500,000. It was the lowest in the majors during a year in which baseball enjoyed a banner season. Most of the money from the early San Francisco glory years of the 1960 s is gone but Stoneham picked up around $5 million recently from a land development venture at Casa Grande, Ariz. That’s expected to keep the club afloat in San Francisco for at least two years. purchasers of the club were backed by Arabian oil money. The Floridans also were upset at the last minute reshuffling which pitted them against Philadelphia, third in the East Divison with a 9-11 record. Quarterback Bob Davis said that two weeks ago “there was no doubt in my mind that we would win the World Bowl if we played to our capabilities. “But right now our chances are not good. We have tremendous dissension on the team. The attitude of a minority of players is not good and we’ll be lucky to beat Philadelphia.” Philadelphia arrives at the Tangerine Bowl for the nation ally televised game with the league’s second best offense, paced by passer King Corcoran. Davis, a veteran of seven years in the NFL, led the Blazers to 14 victories with a league-high 56.1 per cent completion of 413 passes for 3,098 yards and 21 touchdowns. “During that time we expect to improve on the field and have a pennant winner,” Stoneham said. “There is nothing like a winner to bring out the fans. This is my goal and one I will do everything humanly possible to achieve. I firmly believe winning and attendance go hand in hand, especially in an area such as San Francisco where people have so many things to pick from.” If things don’t turn out the way Stoneham has envisioned, then he will consider some of the offers he has been getting lately. The only thing that really bothers him about giving up in San Francisco is leaving the area to Charlie Finley and his Oakland A’s. He said “the pride factor” is keeping the team going. “Even though the playoff money is small and we are forced to play a team like Philadelphia, you only get one chance to win the first World Bowl title—even if it is tainted. “We’ve come too far to quit now. “The sandy-hiared quarter back, who played behind Joe Namath with the New York Jets, added, “Philadelphia can’t beat us if we play our game. “It would be awfully embar rassing to have them beat us on national television.” TOMMY SESLER CRUSADE “One of America's Youngest Evangelists” Wednesday Friday Thursday Saturday ■UMI 11:00 A.M. 7:00 P M - 7:30 P.M.

He became expendable with the emergence of Tom Owen, the acquisition of Norm Snead from the New York Giants and the recovery of Steve Spurrier from shoulder surgery. “We had four quarterbacks and we only needed three,” Coach Dick Nolan said. “Steve is well now and could see some action behind Owen against Atlanta Sunday. Time is the thing. Dennis needs that.” Cunningham, sixth round choice out of Mississippi in 1967, gained 1,498 yards rushing and 1,145 more as a receiver during a career hampered by injuries.
