McINTYRE HOOD Special London, England Correspondent to The Times LONDON ~-- After weeks of argument and conflicting state- international forward Jimmy Greaves is definitely settled. He is going to Milan, in spite of the fact that a couple of weeks ago he tried to wriggle out of his agreement with the Italian Club and said he wanted to stay with Chelsea. However, at a secret meeting with the vice-president of Milan, the difficulties were ironed out, and Greaves signed a personal contract, and agreed to play in Milan's next game, a friendly with a touring Brazil team. Greaves has been quaranteed that his earnings will be at Paris Ponies Have Frenchmen Figuring PARIS (CP)--French horse- players are beginning to believe that their thoroughbreds pos- sess occult powers, such as be- ing able to read and count. Gazing sadly at empty wal- lets, they feel this must be the only explanation for the forlorn showing of favored horses in a betting lottery known as the "pari tierce." This is a Gallic gimmick whereby, in big fields, the bettor seeks to place the finish- ers 1-2-3. Naturally, such pre- cision is hard to come by, but the lure of a lush payoff gener- ates a rush of sporting blood to the head. That's why, as the heady aroma of noon-day cooking per- meates the air, large crowds drift into the local "PMU" cafe to sip an aperitif, scan the en- tries and invest a few hundred francs in a three-horse bet. "PMU" stands for Pari Mu- tuel Urbain and is a kind of branch office for the nationa simplest wager. The pari tierce is an ex tremely popular diversion bu some of its adherents are shak ing their heads in perplexity money 70 times. losers usually recover form with a bang next time out wonders if the steeds are cap totalisator.

Ferris won his first eight games, four with shut- outs. Schwall, unbeaten right- hander scattered nine hits for a 6-2 victory over Kansas City Athletics Wednesday, his fourth straight since being called up from the Seattle farm club. Possessing two styles of fastball, an amazing sinker and an abundance of poise, Schwall, with 1.29, has by far the best earned run av- erage on the American League club and boasts a shutout. He also has beaten Baltimore twice and Chicago. Schwall, six foot six inches and 23 years old, dabbled in high school baseball at Ypsi- t least $112,00 over the next three years, and that he will be re- leas. i to play for England when- ever h= is chosen for an English team.

That makes four British stars Tough Dealing In NHL Draft MONTREAL (CP) -- The Na- tional Hockey League draft next week may turn into a hectic ses- sion or it may be dwarfed into a run - of - the - mill affair in- volving few players because of pre - draft agreements. Present indications are that the combination of deals and drafting may be substantial. The NHL's three - day annual meeting opens Monday and pri- vate talks aimed at swaps likely will continue at least until the six clubs file their protected lists at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The league's internal draft is scheduled for 2 p.m. Wednes- day. Each club can protect 18 players, plus two goalies, against the draft. The draft price is $20,000. Pre - draft deals have become more or less the rule in recent years. Loaded clubs -- and Montreal Canadiens have been a stick - out in this respect-- have been inclined to do pre- draft business with the have-not clubs. The reason largely is that the loaded clubs, if they must lose unprotected high - class young rookies and established players, {would rather lose them in a {swap with a low - placed club |ratner than the draft to a hot {rival Hockey men say money doesn't figure greatly in such deals because usually little or no cash is involved. They say also that the draft was not established as an act oi generosity or as a means of providing players at a cheap price. They feel that $20,000 is player.

Prior to the draft, by reason of plenty of money or good farm clubs or luck, some clubs found them- selves with more good players The result was that the clubs buried players in the minors and other NHL clubs couldn't Nothing Too Good For British Soccer Stars from Scotland.

Manchester City have refused a bid of $275,000 for Denis Law, also from Italy, but he has not signed for the Manchester Club. He wants more money than they have offered him, but the chances are that he will reach an agreement with the club. The draw for the Scottish League Cup, which will open the 1961-1962 season in Scotland has been made. It provides some interesting prospects in some of its sections, which are as follows; Section 1 - Partick Thistle, St. Johnstone, Celtic, Hibernian. Section 2 - Aberdeen, Dunferm- line, Motherwell, Dundee United. Section 3 - Rangers, Dundee, Third Lanark, Airdrieonians. Section 4 Raith, Rovers, Kilmarnock, St. Mirren, Hearts.
