Don Drysdale Pilches
Shutout For LA Dodgers
Five-Hit Blank
Chalked Up By
Veteran Spahn
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Don Drysdale'i "tired elbow" Is
Wide awake.
It never took a rest Tuesday as
the 22-year-old Los Angeles right
hander pitched nine shutout in
nings and the Dodgers upped their
exhibition record to 10-3, best in
the majors.
The Philadelphia Phils were the
victims of Drysdale's 1-0 per
formance, a five-hitler at Sar
asota. The Phils got only two run
ners past first base after the fourth
inning, and although the Dodgers
got only three hits, a double by
Wally Moon and a triple by Jim
Gentile in the fourth inning were
enough. It was the first complete
spring game by a Dodger pitcher
in three years.
When Drysdale flopped at the
start of the 1958 season some said
it was nervousness before "home
town" fans. Don was born in Van
Nuys, Calif., played high school
hail mere and was a ncro in tne
lxs Angeles area before making
it with the Brooklyn Dodgers in
1956. He was 5-5 in his rookie
year and 17-9 in 1957 before the
Dodgers went West.
Others said it was the absence
of Roy Campanella that caused
Don to have a 2-8 record on May
27 last year and only 4-9 at the
All-Star Game break in July. Don
finally got going and ended the
season 12-13.
Strong In Spring
Recently he brushed aside any
detailed explanations of his slow
lfl atari urit'k thia illlamanl'
"My arm just wasn't in shape.
T used to get tired in the elbow.
That's where I feel it when my
arm isn't strong. This spring I
feel I passed that tired elbow
stage early."
His record backs up that speech.
Ho has allowed only two runs in
24 innings, has 17 strikeouts and
has walked only five batters.
Up until Tuesday only Bob An
derson of the Chicago Cubs had
gone nine innings, but Milwau
kee's Warren Spahn and Pitts
burgh's Vern Law made the step
along with Drysdale. No Ameri
can Leaguer has gone the route.
Spahn Sharp
Spahn was as sharp as Drys
dale, allowing only five 'hits in a
3-0 victory over St. Louis at St.
Petersburg. The 38-year-old left
hander is the highest paid ($60,
noo) pitcher in baseball because
he can come up with the big one.
The Braves, only 4-14 in Florida
games, needed a shot in the arm
and Spahnio provided it with the
help of a first inning lead off hom
er by Ed Hans. The Braves broke
a five-game losing streaK.
Law stopped the much-improved
Detroit Tigers 3-1 at Lakeland, as
Rocky Nelson, the perennial mi
nor leaguer chipped in with three
hits, including a home run. One
of four hits off Law was a homer
by Gail Harris.
Baltimore shelled Kansas City
11-3 at West Palm Beach. The Or
ioles, atop the AL spring stand
ings with a 9-4 record, had 14 hits,
including homers by Gus Triandso
and Willie Tasby.
1 Washington hung the seventh
straight defeat on Cincinnati, 7-6
at Tampa. Frank Robinson hit a
grand slam homer in the Reds'
sixth-run eighth after the Senators
had finished scoring.
Poor Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox' nosedive
continued at Phoenix where the
San Francisco Giants won 10-4. It
was Boston's fourth straight loss
after winning 10 of their first 11.
The pilching-poor Giants got their
customary robust hitting, but
more important was seven innings
of five-hit work by former Phil
Jack Sanfnrd.
Ernie Banks doubled home (wo
runs in an eighth inning pinch hit
ting role as the Chicago Cubs
broke a tie and defeated Cleve
land 4-2 at Mesa. Rookie Joe
Sehaffernoth shut out the Indians
on four hits for seven innings.
In a night game at Miami, the
Icw York Yankees landed on rook
ie Rodolpho Arias of the Chicago
White Sox for five runs on seven
hits in the fifth inning, the last
five in a row. The Yanks won
it 6 4 and ended a string of 10
scoreless innings by Anas.

Major League
Barrister
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) J. Norman
Lewis became the legal represen
tative for the major league base
ball players six years ago despite
the belligerent opposition of the
club owners. Today, the New York
attorney has lost the job because
of his own belligerence toward the
owners.
Lewis was given the ax here
Tuesday at a meeting of the 16
player representatives. They an
nounced they now have more need
for a public relations representa
tivean agency man to handle en
dorsements and similar matters
than an attorney.
The representatives, after a day
long meeting, took back to their
respective clubs a proposal to set
up a central office in New York
with rrank Scott to act as Weir
representative. Scott already has
served as an agent for numerous
players.
Mad S20,000 Yearly
Lewis himself made the an
nouncement that his contract,
which calls for 20.000 a year and
expires March 31, had not been
renewed.
He told newsmen: "The players
believe that by reason of the
achievements they already have
accomplished, they no longer need
a permanent attorney under con
tract." "But we felt," said one repre
sentative, who declined use of his
name "that he had become too
belligerent toward the owners."
Moves Backfire
Two recent moves by Lewis led
to his dismissal. .
One was an attempt to gain a
pension fund for International
League players. That plan died
aborning when players in the Tri
ple A minor league called off a
proposed strike in the face of own
er insistence that no money was
available for such a fund.
The other was Lewis' threatened
court action against baseball as
an outgrowth of the International
League pension plan. Such action
would attack the reserve clause
which binds a player to one club
and a contract requirement repeat
edly approved by the players.
me players major acnieve

Dark Horse Cincinnati Requires
Help For Harried Hurling Staff
TAMPA, Kla. (AP) -The Cin
cinnati Reds are being tabbed as
the dark horse of the National
League but that is bringing little
solace to Manager Mayo Smith
and General Manager Uabe Paul.
They realize that if something
isn't done soon about the plight
of their pitching staff, the Reds
will be fortunate to finish in the
first division.
' Ask Smith to evaluate his club
and he gives you several stock
replies. He leaves it up to you to
interpret them.
"It's hard to say whether the
club is good, mediocre or bad at
this point because we don't know
about the pitching. . .
"Our pitching is the key. How
far we go depends upon that. . .
The truth of the matter is thrnt
Mayo is worried about his pitch
ing, or lack of it. He has four
veteran starters in Bob Purkey
(17-11), Don Newcombe (7-13),
Brooks Lawrence (8-13) and south
paw Joe Nuxhall (12-11). He has
a couple of good looking young
sters in lefty Jimmy O'Toole and
righty Orlando Pena.
O'Toole, a 20-game winner at
Nashville, is the big hope. But
Smith is afraid of the pressure.
The way the staff shapes up,
Pena and Hal Jeffcoat will be the
end relief men, Tom Acker and
Willard Schmidt will be tne mid
dle men and Bob Mabe may win
the No. 5 starting role.
Cincinnati has a balance of
power, achieved mainly by the
acquisition of right-handed hitting
slugger Frank Thomas from Pitts
burgh. The Reds' batting order
lists left-handers Gus Bell, Vada
Pinson, Jerry Lynch in the out
field and r.u Bailey benind the
plate: with righthanders Frank
Robinson at first, Johnny Temple
at second. Roy McMillan at short
and Thomas at third.
The suspicion is that Thomas,
a mediocre third baseman but a
good outfielder, will he switched
to left field with Bell either
peddled to another club or cast

Beavers Win
From Seattle
BRAWLEY, Calif. (AP) Three
Portland pitchers limited Seattle
to four hits as Portland scored a
5-0 victory in a baseball exhibition
game between the two Pacific
Coast League teams here Tues
day. Wally Burnetle from the Kansas
City Athletics, pitcher-coach Lar
ry Jansen and Mike Kume com
bined for the shutout:
Portland scored once in the
second inning off starling pitcher
Dave Stcnhouse on a walk and
singles by Wilmcr Schanlz and
Chico Valentin.
The Beavers picked up four
more in the fourth off Jerry Cade,
a former Drain, Ore., high school
and semi-pro lefthander. The big
blow that inning was Jim Ald
redge's three-run triple.
Case was wild. He walked four
men in two innings.
Valentin was the game's leading
batsman with three hits in four
times at the plate.
Portland was to meet Fort

Pitcher Sees
Phillie Wins
CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP)
Ruben Gomez, the Puerto Rican
right-hander who puts up a fuss
about pitching in cool weather and
occasionally pops a batter, with a
pitch, admits he's a little temper
mental. "Everybody has things they lik
to do or don't like," said Ruben,
who does a pretty good lob with
English. "I don't like to pitch in
cold weather.
"No pitcher does, unless he has
a fast ball, and I don't throw so
hard. When it is cold you don't
break a sweat. I like to have
moisture on my hands so I can
control the ball better."
Two Surprises
Goez, a thin guy who stands
6 0 and is listed at 170, admits the
December trade that sent him
from the San Francisco Giants to
the Philadelphia Phillies came as
a surprise. Two surprises, in fact.
"First I was surprise tiiat they
trade me." he said, "and then I
am surprise that they trade me to
Philadelphia. I think they trade
me to Cincinnati.
'I like this team. I get a chance
to learn from that fellow " Ruben
added, pointing to Robin Roberts.
"I watch to see how he moves the
ball around. And if there is some
hitter he gets out all the time I
watch and maybe I will loo."
Best In 1954
Ruben. 31. had a 10-12 record
last season, his sixth in the ma
jors. He thinks he can win 15
with the Phillies, "if they pitch
me regularly so I can get into the
groove."
"My best year was 1954. I won
17. But I pitched better Ihe next
year and didn't win so many (9
10). There are more errors behind
me and I lose 2-1, 3-2. I would
rather lose 1-0 than win 7-5. be
cause you know you pitch better."
About those duster orawls Go
mez gets into, does he make a
practice of pitching tight high,
inside?
"I don't throw inside. 1 throw
low and down there, outside. Some
times I throw close, up here," Ru
ben said, making a swipe at his
chest.
"I hit some," he admitted, "but
sometimes I don't see huw they
get hit."

Bill White,
Jablonski
Traded Off
ST. .PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)
The St. Louis Cardinals have
traded pitchers Sam Jones and
Don Choate to the San Francisco
Giants for Bill White, an infielder
outfielder, and Ray Jablonski,
third baseman, The Associated
Press learned today.
Jones. 33 years old. had a 14-13
record last year but his earned
run average 01 was secona
best in the National League.
Choate is a rookie. Both are right
handers.
White was the regular fust
baseman of the Giants in 1355 and
then went into the armed services.
When he returned he had lost his
job to Orlando Cepeda, 1958 Na
tional League Rookie of the Year.
The Giants, with a strong of
fense, need pitching.
Need Right Fielder
The Cardinals stand .to benefit
by the trade because they need a
right fielder badly. It was believed
they will put White at first base
and send Joe Cunningham to the
outfield from his post at first.
Jablonski batted .230 in 86
games last year with 12 home
runs and 46 runs batted in. White
only played in 26 games in 1958
and batted .241, playing mostly as
a pinch hitter. He returned to the
Giants late in the season from the
armed services.
Jablonski started with the Card
inals in 1953, was traded lo Cin
cinnati and to the Chicago Cubs,
before going to the Giants. He is
32 years old.
Choate, 20, compiled a 1211 rec
ord in 1958. He was 5-4 with Hous
