Brooklyn's Dodgers tied the
modern major league record of
winning nine straight games at
the start of a season in a come-from-bchind
3-2 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies at Ebbets
Field Wednesday night.
Steve Ridzik, who no-hit the
Brooks for five innings, tired
badly in the seventh and forced
in the first Dodger run by walk
ing Duke Snider with the bases
loaded. Rookie Lynn Lovenguth
..replaced Ridzik at the point and
was promptly greeted by Gil
Hodges' two-run single that gave
Brooklyn the two runs they
needed.
This is the second time the
Dodgers have won nine straight
at season's start. The 1940 club
did it to tie the record set by
the New York Giants in 1918.
The late St. Louis Browns were
the only other club to turn the
trick, doing it in 1944 when they
won their lone American League
pennant.
CARDS BEAT REDS
In other National League ac
tion, the St, Louis Cardinals beat
Cincinnati 3-0 in a night game
and Milwaukee out-clubbed the
Chicago Cubs 9-5 in an afternoon
contest. New York's game at
Pittsburgh was called because of
rain after three innings with the
winless Pirates leading 3 0.
Only two American League
games were played. Baltimore
won its first of the season, after
six defeats, by topping the New
4'ork Yankees 6-3 in a day game
at Yankee Stadium. And Wil-
lard Nixon blanked Washington
for league-leading Boston 1-0 in
a night game. Rain postponed
Chicago's game at Detroit.
Brooklyn was in a spot against
Ridzik, just a so-so righthander,
and had but one hit until the
seventh. They wound up with
three hits as Thorn Kipper re
placed Lovenguth. Billy Loes was
the Brooklyn starter and winner,
giving way to the Dodgers' first
pinchhittcr of the season in the
seventh.
Baltimore put an end to its less
desirable streak on Hal Smith's
first major league home run in
the fifth. It came after a sin
gle by Gene Woodling, who like
Smith went to the Orioles from
the Yanks in the Bob Turley
trade.
NIXON WINS SECOND
Boston rolled on to its sixth
victory in seven starts as Nixon
Piivchit the Senators. Norm Zau
chin, rookie first baseman, pop
ped a single to center in the
fourth his first hit in 16 trips
to drive home the lone run. It
was the second victory for Nixon,
who had to put down a Wash
ington threat in the ninth.
St. Louis also had some nifty
pitching as Luis Arroyo blanked
the Rcdlegs on five hits but left
when he lost his control in the
eighth. Herb Moford mopped up.
. Bobby Thomson grand-slammed
in the second and drove in an
other run with a single as the
Braves dumped the Cubs to their
fourth straight defeat. Lew Bur
dctte was clipped for 13 hits by
the Cubs including home runs
by Harry Chiti and Dee Fondy
while picking up the victory.

problems. Rain has caused the
finishing touches on the new ball
park to be slowed down and will
cancel the scheduled "open
house" for next Monday night.

minor league ball clubs) has also
slowed down and the manage

if Sure, and rain is a handicap to most sports, but track-and-field
is one sport very seldom postponed or cancelled be
cause of weather conditions. . . , Unless the rains that came soon
have went we might well find the Northern Division base
ball pennant won on a 6-2 record for the scheduled 16-game
slate but you can be certain the cindcrmcn will-get in all of
their meets rain or shine. . .
Track interest, since the ar
rival of Bill Bowerman, has in
creased by "leaps and bounds"
and the Pacific Coast Confer
ence championships here on
Hayward Field May 27-28 are
certain to attract crowds of 8,
000 or 10,000 fans.'. . .
Despite weather conditions
that would have the Trojans,
Bruins, Indians and Bears
frustrated. Northern Division
performances have been very
creditable to date this season.
This is particularly true of
Bowcrman's W e b f o o t s. The
Orcgons have been in action
four times now, starting with
the three-quarter distance
meet with Willamette, and
have yet to find themselves
running on a dry track.
Saturday in Seattlo Oregon
tackles Washington in what should be a very interesting meet.
The Wcbfoots and Huskies arc running 1-2 in eight of the 15
events, with each having the leading four, and also have two
first places each in four of the other events.
Washington State has two top spots and Oregon State also
has a pair to round out the lineup for .the first rundown of the
season.
Oregon dominates in the flat races, leading in every event
from the 100-yard dash through the 2-mile except the 880-yard
run. The Huskies, with power in the field events and the hur
dles, will make things very interesting for the Wcbfoots. Wash
ington, by the way, is coached this season by Stan Hiscrman, the
ex-Idaho boss, after having been directed by Hcc Edmundson for
35 years.
Here are the two top performances in each event and you can
see where the Huskies and the Ducks are going to lock horns
Saturday.

Zulueta Gains;
Split Decision?
Over Carter 1
WASHINGTON 11 Orlando
Zulueta, a left-handed sharp
shooter, outboxed lightweight
champ Jimmy Carter in a na
tionally televised bout Wednes
day night, earning a split decisioft
and winning a certain shot at
Carter's title.
Zulueta, ninth ranking light
weight from Havana, earned the
decision on the score cards of ref
eree Harry Volkman and judge
Joe Bunsa. Judge Benny Alper
stein scored it for Carter. The
Associated Press card had Zu-
iucim a vicar winner, vr-ui. . .
Carter, a 31-year-old from New
York, weighed in at 137, two
pounds over the lightweight lim
it. Zulueta was in at 137.
Carter really didn't seem to
have it Wednesday night. Tim
and again the clever Zulueta had
the champ missing and looking
pretty bad. Meanwhile, the Cuban
was jabbing away at Carter. It
was close up to the last three
rounds but Zulueta won going
away, outslugging Carter at the
finish.
The victory set off a wild cele
bration among the Cuban contin
gent in town and Ambassador
Miguel Angel Campa jumped into
the ring to shake Zulucta's hand.
Carter, whose 'title wasn't at
stake in the bout, didn't have, a
word to say. But his manager,
Willie Kctchum, made up for it.
"What a lousy decision," Kctch
um howled. "Jimmy beat him. He
hitnr him cfnnH "
It was the old story of a punch
er. Carter, against a boxer, Zu
lueta. Jabbing with steady con
sistency, Zulueta frequently
showed contempt for Carter, the
heavier hitter, and actually was
outslugging him at the final bell.
