1 Twins, White Sox Win By Shutouts By FRED DOWN UPI. Sports Writer Who has stolen the home run thunder from the bats of the American Leacue S sluggers? Was It the rules committee with its new strike zone regulation? Mavbe the manufacturers have taken some of the rabbit out of the ball? Or perhaps the pitchers arc getting away with that old devil me spiiDaur Whatever the reason, the pitch ers have been having a ball at the: expense of the hitters during the first two weeks ol me campaign. The figures show that there have been nine snutouts pucneci and onlv 59 homers hit in the AL's first 35 games. At such a pace over the entire season tne pitcn- ors would accumulate 180 shut outsfar more than the league record of 146 set in 1909 and con ' Attention Myrtle Creek ' and Riddle Residents: LEO WILBORN Tune-up & Ignition Expert Now With Lonnie Strong's FLYING "A" Riddle, Oregon siderably above the major league record of 163 in one league set by the National League in 1908. Also, a mere 59 homers in 35 fames represents a 13 per cent decrease in homer output from 1962 when AL sluggers hit 1552 in 810 games. There were only two games played in the American League Thursday and both resulted in shutouts. Dick Stlgman pitched the first major league shutout of his career to give the Minnesota Twins a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels and Ray Herbert tossed a thrce-mtter as tne cm cago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 30. Two homers were hit one by the Twins' Earl Battey and an other by the White Sox' Dave Nicholson. Stlgman, a 27-year-bld lefty in his fourth big league season, gave up scratch singles to Lee Thomas and Albie Pearson and a solid double to Jim Fregosi. He struck out five and walked only one. Herbert, a 20-game winner last season, struck out five and walked only one in posting his first win of 1963. Floyd Robinson scored the first two White Sox runs after a single and a double and Nicholson homered in- the seventh for their final run. Nelson Fox singled for the Sox' fourth hit the 2,400th bit of the little second-baseman's career. WHY PAY MORE?

PLENTY FREE PARKING Len LeBlanc Manager the heap Thursday with a -under par 64. Jack Nicklaus, 23, took second with a 65 and ama teur Kermit Zarley, a mere 21, was third with a 66. Following with 67s were Bob Charles of Saratoga, Fla.; Jack Fleck of Los Angeles, Calif.; Jer ry Steelsmith of Glcndale, Calif., and Charles Sifford of Los Ang eles. Most of the golfers claim that the 7,200-yard memorial course is in the best condition ever and a new tournament record may be set this year. This is borne out by Thursday's scores when 15 golfers broke par and another 14 tied it, Much to the delight of the estimated crowd of 18,000 an opening day rec ord. Aaron's score of 64 was one over the tournament record of 63 set by Jerry Barber in 1955. Bar ber went on to lose the Clas sic that year to Mike Souchak, who also set a record for 72 holes with a 273, which still stands. Aaron said his putting was the big reason for Thursday's 64. His putts included a 35-footer. Nicklaus said the course was playing well and Thursday's' gus ty 20-mile an hour winds were helping his high drives. The for mer Ohio State player had six birdies on the first nine holes for a 30, which tied the record. He then tapered ' off to a par 35 on the back nine. He said he was "satisfied" with his game. Zarley, the University of Hous ton's national collegiate champ, who walked away with the AU- American College Invitational last week in Houston, missed a two- foot putt on the 18th hole Thurs day that would have tied Nick laus. Jack Sanford says he'll "hold the cotton pickin' ball" for five minutes between pitches if Na tional League umpires insist on calling so many balks. That'll be okay with NL hitters if the big San Francisco pitcher carries out his threat. In fact. should be an improvement as far as the batters are concerned be cause he's become the "Mr. In vincible" of the league. Sanford reeled off his third vic tory in the row for 1963 Thursday when the Giants beat the Houston Colts, 6-3, and now has won 21 of his last 22 decisions in NL competition. The 200-pound native of Wcllesley. Mass., won 18 of his last 19 decisions in 1862, in cluding 16 in a row between June 17 and Sept. 15. S(.nford blew his top after the game because of two balks called against him, but he didn't lose control of himself or his stuff during the game. He - merely coasted behind a 12-hit attack that earned the Giants their sixth vic tory in eight games. The Milwaukee Braves retained their half-game hold on first place when they beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, the Pittsburgh Pi rates shaded the St. Louis Cards, 3-2, and the Chicago Cubs scored a 5-1 victory over the Los Ange les Dodgers in other National League games. The Minnesota Twins shut out the Los Angeles Angels, 3-0. and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 3-0, in the only American League action. Sanford, 24-7 in 1962. yielded five hits and struck out four. Howie Goss drove in all three Houston runs with a two-run homer and a single but his one- man attempt couldn't overcome a San Francisco attack led by three hits each by Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Felipe Alou. bx-Boston Red Sox rookie of the year Don Schwall gained a victory in his National League debut for the Pirates when Bill Virdon sin gled in the winning run in the ninth. Schwall retired with an up set stomach after eight innings but Elroy Face protected the one- run lead in the ninth. Ken Boyer homered for the Cardinals and Stan Musial doubled bringing him to within one extra base hit of Babe Ruth's major league record. Glen Hobbie, aided by Don El ston's ninth-inning relief, beat the Dodgers for the first time in three years and only the. fifth time in his career when three Dodger errors treated the Cubs to three unearned runs. Don Drys- dale, 25-game winner and Cy Young Award winner in 1962, Suf fered his first loss of 1963 after two wins. Paul Hornung, Alex (arras Ruled Out Of NFL 63 Play By JOC SARCIS UPI Surt. Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Only one thing was certain today in the wake of the National Football League's betting scandal: Paul Hornung, the "golden boy" of the Green Bay Packers, and all-pro tackle Alex Karras of tne Detroit Lions will not play in 1963. . Whether or not they will play in 1964 or ever depends on their behaviour, according to Commis sioner Pete RozelJe, but from there on in, for all intents and purposes the investigations into betting by players, which were triggered in January, are over. That's the official line from the NFL today after an exhaustive study which failed to- show any thing more than that Hornung, Karras and four other members of the Detroit Lions made wagers on the outcome of- regular NFL games betting on their own teams or on games in which they were not involved. However, there is reason to be lieve that the matter will not die there as indicated. It's too early to assess fan reaction, but early samplings show most fans were shocked at the severity of Hor nung and Karras' punishment. Most league officials, including general manager and coach Vince Lombard! of the Packers agreed that Rozelle had no other alternative but to suspend Hor nung, the league's greatest play- Ill The Majors Maer League Standings By United Press International American League Detroit Kansas City New York Baltimore Cleveland Chicago Los Angeles Boston Minnesota Washington W 5 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 Pet. .714 .571 .571 ,571 GB .500 114 .500 1V4 .429 .429 er, and Karras. . Other ofiicials, inside and out side of the sport, seemed to feel the same way, claiming that there was a definite breach of contract by the two players, and inasmuch as the snort' depends ou public pattonage for its exist ence the players had to be sus pended. : - There are indications, too, that the Senate subcommittee headed by John , L. McClellan, D-Ark., may call for a comprehensive re port on the entire investigation by Rozelle as part of its inquiry into gambling and reported fix ing in football and other sports. Whether or not such an inquiry would involve the calling of wit nesses is problematical. If, how ever. Hornung, Karras et al were called in then they would, have to testify under oath.' In the NFL inquiry , they were simply called in by Rozelle, confronted with evidence and then admitted they had bet on games. Hornung s genuine regret and honest admission that he had made a "terrible mistake" by betting on games more than like ly gained him a point toward re instatement. Karras, on the other hand, first hedged and then ad mitted he, too, had wagered on some games, but angrily snapped that as far as he was concerned "this thing isn't over yet. I am going to protest" the suspension. Gets Good Offer Ironically, Karras already has been made a $40,000 offer to en gage in a series of wrestling matches, and more than likely will agree. He wrestled once be fore under the name of "Killer Karras" and, because unlike Hor nung who has invested his mon ey wisely, Alex needs an income while on the football shelf. Hornung, who was paid $30,000 last year by the Packers, and picked up additional money from testimonials, - television, commer cials and personal appearances, has funds invested in several business and sports promotions. I Karras is a partner in a bar in Detroit where he works in the off-season, however, - since . he does not earn the money Hornung does, Alex must find ' another source of income during his sus pension. ; "Alex could make more money , in wrestling than he ever could in professional football," said De troit promoter John Dyle. "This suspension will make him more popular than ever because he re ceived such harsh treatment. Fans will turn out to see him wrestle." No date has been set for re view of Hornung's and Karras' cases! Rozelle said he will stand on his previous statement that "the earlics possible considera tion for opening the : cases can not be given until at least 1964."
