Orlando Is Man-Sized
Headache To Pitchers
By FRED DOWN
UPI Staff Writer
They say Orlando Cope-la is
just a growing boy but groggy
.National League pitchers insist
he's a man-sized headache.
.- The pitchers don't look any
sicker, however, than the experts
who thought Sun Francisco's 21
year old slugger might succumb
to the "sophomore jinx."
It was Lew Burdette's turn to
say "puss the aspirins, please'
Tthursday when C'epcda drove in
seven runs with two homers, a
double and a single in the Giants'
.11-5 .victory over the Milwaukee
Braves. . .
, ,,The Braves took an early 5-1
lead but Cepedu's two-run fourth
inning homer cut the margin to
5-3 and his tlrec-run blast in the
fifth put the Giants in front. Or
lando doubled with the buses
filled to drive in the Giants' lust
two runs in the eighth. -Braves'
Lead Trimmed
The victory cut the Braves'
first-place lead to 2'4 games. M'he
Pittsburgh Pirates closed to with
in 3'i games of the Braves with
their 9-3 victory ovor the St.
Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati
Beds downed the Los Angeles
Dodgers, 5-3, and the Chicago
Cubs shaded the Philadelphia
Phillies, 3-2, in the other NL ac
tion. ; ,.i
They'll be computing the Amer
ican League standings with a
slide rule soon because only 4'i
gumes and 96 percentage points
separate first and seventh places.
The Chicago White Sox' 8-5, 17-
innintf win over the Dullimore Or
ioles boosted than into first place
with a .503 mark. The JVew York
Yankees, who crushed Detroit
14-3, arc in seventh with a .4B7
average. And even the Boston
Hod Sox, who ended Kansas
City s five-game streak, 5-2 aren't
too fur buck at .435 and six
games to make up.
Stu Miller shut out the Braves
with three hits for the last five
innings but the victory went to
Gordon Jones, who was the
"pitcher of record" when the
Giunts staged their decisive rally
Homer, Triple Aid Bucs
Bill Virdon's two - run homer
and Bill Mazeroski's two-run tri
ple were the key blows as the Pi
rates ran their winning streak to
six gumes. lion Kline yielded 13
hits but left 12 Cardinals strand
ed and went the distance for his
fiftli victory. One St. Louis hit
was the 05 1st douhlo of Stan
Musial's career lying Honus Wag
ner's Nutionul League record.

Beavers
Fifth Frame
Spells Doom
SAN DIEGO (UPI) Bobby
Locke hurle da three-hitter for .the
San Diego Padres Thursday night
to lead them to a 5-0 win over
the Portland Beavers in a Pacific
Coast League game.
Portland pitcher Vic Lombardi
gave the Padres all five runs in
the fifth frame when Locke open
ed with a double and Rod Graber
singled him to third. Dick Smith
singled to the infield to load the
bases.
Locke scored on Don Dillard's
single to right and Graber came
in behind him. An error by Jack
Llltrell allowed Bill Henna to get
on and Smith scored on Littrell's
error.
Steve Junkowski doubled to cen
ter driving in Dillard. Buss Sny
der hobbled the throw and Renna
scored.
, Larry Janscn came in to retire
the Padres. But the Beavers' five
game Pacific Coast . League, win
ning streak already was gone., .,
Gen. Nuthan. Bedford Forrest
was really with it! '
At, least his "fustcst with the
mostest" quote, has intrigued the
skinners of the Pacific Coast
League teams.
Sacramento and Salt Lake City
won. their games last night in the
first inning with big . outburst!.
San Diego got five runs in the
third 'the fustest and the
mostest) against Portland. And
Spokano had eight before Phoenix
scored.
The final results all based on
tho big and early scoring were:
Sacramento, with five in the first,
6, Seattle 1; Salt Lake City, with
four in the first, 10, Vancouver, 4;;
San Diego 5, Portland 0, and Spo
kane 8 against a poor two run
effort by Phoenix. ' ,
Never In Doubt 1
Sacramento, .the loop leader,:
used Forrest's strategy by pound-;
ing out six hits, including doubles'
by Buddy Peterson and Dick Phil
lips, to take a 5-0 lead in the
bottom of the first. From there
on in the game was even, but the
issue was not in doubt. -
Phillips also clouted a home run
in the third to contribute; to the
victory. -
The best pitching of the night
came from Bobby Locke of San
Diego.t He blanked Portland on
three hits. But again it. was a
big frame in the early going that
made it easy. The Pads treated
Vic Lombardi badly in the third
and got five runs to sew up the
contost.
Salt Lake City let Hugh Pepper
have It cusy for the night as they
bombed out 16 hits. Enough of
them in (lie opening inning to in
sure his coasting.
I - Busy Beet
. Eddie Moore, Chuck Harmon
and Dick Barone were the big
guns in the Bee attack. Barone
chipped In with his third home
run of the season. Erv Palica was
the loser.
For Pepper it was his third win
against four losses.
Spokane also got good hit and
rim production. The Indians had
15 hits, including a home run and
a double by Steve Bilko, and
scored all eight of their runs be
fore the Giants could tally.
All in all the team that got
there "fustcst" on the scoreboard
wound up with the "mostest."

THE
FLOYD
RIGHT IS FOR
Johansson's Over
Is Worrying His M
training
anager
By OSCAR FRAUEY
UPI Staff Writer
GROSS1NGEU, N.Y. I UPI) -Ingemar
Johansson, the Swede
who faces Floyd Patterson at
Yankee Stadium on June 25 for
the world heavyweight crown, has
been likened facially to Terry
Brenuan and the young Charles
Lindbergh.
. There are new comparisons be
ing made today. .
Whitcy Bimstein, one of bis
trainers, looks on him as the
truculent Marlon Brando of "A
Streetcar Named Desire." The
publicity corps compares him to
the stolid, suspicious Max Scimicl
in.g. Many others sec him as the
new champion in what shapes up
as the biggest betting bout in
years.
These reactions evolve from the
fact thut Ingo the Swedish iro.-.
man may be overtraining. When
Bimstein remonstrates, Ii-go sticki
out that Brando-tyiie lower lip and
plunges stubbornly ahead.
Tireless Worker
There is no doubt hut what
Ingo is ji tireless 'waikur..,Toi
tireless, possibly, to have his best
left when he climbs into the Yan
kee Stadium ring for a bout
which will be televised into the
aters from coast to coast. But he
has his training methods, and
changing them is almost impos
sible.
The daily schedule he prefers is
six miles of roadwork, as many
as 15 rounds of boxing an l then
gobs of bag punching and calis
thenics. This can be too much
when, as he did on one occasion,
he poses six hours for a photog
rapher "friend" rowing, swim
ming, etc. After that wearing bit.
Ingo headed for I lie riii'j and a

It's
lengthy boxing session even
though it was crowding DO in the
JiaJe.
"Out," ordered Bimstein firmly
when he. heard of the strenuous
photographic stint.
"No, no," Ingo replied. "I
train." i . . '
"Out," repeated Bimstein, as
Ingo's Swedish trainer, Nils Blom
bcrg, glowered from the sidelines.
Set To Go 15
"If I not knock out Patterson,
I may have to go 15 rounds,"
In'.o retorted. "I must be ready.
I must train."
"Out," growled Whitcy. "You'll
bo overtrained." .
. "Listen," grated Johansson,
You don't know me. I know my
self. I know my body and when
I get tired I will stop. I have
done this for 11 years and I know
how to train myself." ;..
"Out," Bimstein directed.
Irieo "outed.'.' but he left no
doubt about the fact that he was
annoyed. Tho answer is that Bim
stein and lilombcrg aside, Jo
nansr.on is bis own manager, his
own trameT"und his own board of
lirec'4.-s.
Thus in (raining he ignores the
advice ot Bimstein, Blomberg et
ui to "throw that right hand"
which crushed Eddie Machen and
gave him his siiot at Patterson.
"I don't punish my sparring
partners," Ingo explains wooden
ly. "The jab has to be sharp hut
the right hand has the power al
ways. If I hurt my sparring part
ners they become cautious and I
lose training time. So I save the
right hand for Patterson. I will
not forget to throw the right hand
when I get him in the ring."
