A.'s Koufax tosses no-hitter ponders 'jinx By Ron Suplnikl UPI SUlf Writer " Is the Pacific Coast league be- coming a haven for hitters with a ''rabbit" look who oye fences Instead, of batting averages? Twenty-one home runs were hit m eight PCL games Sunday. On Saturday nine fourbaggers were swatted In six games. This is what happened yester day:;; i-Pinchhitter Roeelio Alvarei. whV arrived from Cuba earlier this week, socked a bases-loaded homer to give San Diego a 7-3 win over Portland after the Bea vers had taken the opener 11-8. Mel Queen of the Padres also hit for the circuit In tho second game. In the opener, rookie Padre outfielder Art Shamsky rocketed a. 450-foot shot out of the ballpark a feat never accomplished be fore at San Diego's Weslgate Park. John Wljclk and Dick Green hit homers for Portland. Hal Jones, Billy Cowan and Curt Jen son all propelled balls out of the park for Salt Lake City In the fourth Inning as tho Bees defeated Oklahoma City 9-5. Dave Roberts and Hal Smith of the 89ers hit roundtrlppers In the first inning. Seven homers were hit In Uic Denver at Dallas Fort Worth double-header, five In the first game won by Denver 8-7. That contest was won by J. V. Port er's two-run circuit blast for the Bears in the ninth. Denver's Lou Kllmchock and Cesar Tovar of the Rangers homered In tho Tex ans' 8-4 victory In the nlghtcnp. Seattle batters poked four home runs, two of them by out fielder Peta Jemlgan, In dividing a doublheader at Hawil. Tho Is landers beat Seattlo 5-3 In the day game but the Rainiers cap tured the night game 6-2 behind rookie John Boyle's four-hit pitch lng. Billy Harrell and Rac Slider belted the other four baggers. Oddly enough, the only game in which no homers were hit was Tacoma's 4-3 victory over Spokane In 15 Innings. Ricardo Joseph lashed a two-run single in tlie tup of the 15th to drive in the win ning runs for the Giants. Spokane scored once In the bottom half of the inning. The teams battled In a scoreless deadlock from the sixth inning. Tacoma and Spokane also play ed to a 13-lnning game Saturday with the Indians nosing out the Giants 7-8. Thus. The teams play ed 28.. Innings in '.wo days of single sames. Boyle, a lefthander, won his first game In the PCL by going the route for Seattle in the night cap of tho day-night doublehead- er. He was a last-minute replace ment for Bill Spanswick who suf fered a blister on his pitching . band while warming up before the game. Harrell drove In four of Seat tle's runs in the second game with a tingle and sacrifice fly In addi tion to his homer. Llrwtcortt: (1st Game) Seattle 110400-010 S 6-3 Hawaii 001 202-OOX 57-2 P.

By Oscar Fraley UPI Staff Writtr NEW YORK (UP) Baseball men regard the no-hitter as they would a Mona Lisa painted on Swiss cheese, so you can't blame Sandy Koufax today for keeping his fingers tightly crossed. Particularly Koufax. The no-hitter, such as the one he threw Saturday night against the San Francisco Giants, is a masterpiece. But too often the man who hurls it falls rapidly on hard times and of such things are baseball superstition built. Koufax, the darkly handsome young southpaw of the Los An geles Dodgers, had a previous sample. - Just last June 30 he pitched his first no-hitter and even the fact that it was against the New York Mets removed none of the ac claim accorded to such a per formance. Struck On Finger In bis next start he was struck on the index finger of his pitch ing hand and within a month he was out of action for the balance of the season. It could have ended his career. The blow caused a circulatory failure, a blood Clot developed and for a time it was feared that the finger might have to be amputated. "It's been a long winter," Kou fax admitted when he reported for spring training this season. "The doctors tell me that the fin ger will be all right and my hand and arm feel fine. But you never know until you give it a stiff test." Koufax is a serious young man yet an easy humor bubbles un derneath. But he had no trouble frowning when he pondered on what spring training might pro- Troy looms sfrong again this fall LOS ANGELES (UPI) Mem bers of the national football cham pionship University of Southern California team were confident to day they are as good as if not better than former Trojan gridders. The varsity showcased the type of performance opponents can ex pect in the fall by their easy 44-6 victory over the Trojan alumni at the Coliseum Saturday. White, Roselli LP-Smith, (9). WP-Pepper.

"It's all a question of whether I'll have tho feel in the finger and be able to regain my con trol," he said. "I won't know for a while." Cost Dodgers Pennant Losing him undoubtedly had cost the Dodgers the National League pennant. Thus in the spring they watched Koufax with all the attention of a hawk hover ing over a rabbit. Then camo the day when he pitched a perfect five innings against the Yankees in an exhi bition game and Sandy was ju bilant. I'm sure now," he grinned, 'that it's going to be all right." As the season opened, the lire- balling 27-year-old beat the Cubs with a five-hitter. He lost to Houston but then came back to beat them with a sparkling two- (15 Innings) Tacoma 02O-000-00OO00-O02 4-14-3 Spokane lOOOOl-OOO-OOO-OOl 3-141 Thomas, Schurr (9) and Talton Reed, Smith 9.

Heimbigner's 3-run homer dupes Ducks PULLMAN (UPD-Craig Helm- bigner slammed a mire run homer In the seventh Inning as the Washington State Cougars de feated Oregon 8-5 Saturday for their second straight Northern Di vision baseball win over the Ducks. The loss was the second in sev en starts In the division for the ' Ducks and dropped them a full; game back from league leading 1 Oregon Slate, which has a 5-0 record. OSU relay team breaks record FRESNO (UPI) Oregon State's two-mile relay team shattered the meet record In the 37th annual West Coast relays Saturday. The Beavers team of Jan Un derwood, Iain Colpitis, Morgan groth and Norm Hoffman record ed a 7:23.4 clocking. The old track mark was 7:235.4 set by Stanford in 1959. Underwood opened with a 1:52.9, ColpiUs was timed in 1:50.7 and Groth and Hoffman came in with 1:49.9. Oregon State's distance medley team equaled tho moot record of 9:40.5 set by Stanford In 1900. The team was made up of Lynn Eves, Underwood, Hoffman and Groth. In other top performances by the Beavers, Jerry Brady won the mile in 4:07.8 and Gary Steiuund captured second place In the jave lin at 200-11'i. hitter. But Lady Luck has a whimsi cal way of treating him until, at times, he must feel like a runa way Yo-Yo. Because on April 23 he had given Milwaukee only two hits over six and two-thirds in nings when he suffered a shoul der spasm and was sidelined for two weeks. Can Luck Hold? Returning to action, he allowed five hits over eight innings in beating St. Louis. And now comes that second masterpiece, a breez ing no-hitter against the Giants in which he retired the lirst 22 hitters, allowed only two bases on balls, struck out four and ran his record to four wins against one defeat. The possessor of a breathless fast ball, he went mostly to his breaking stuff in blanking the Giants. Proving that the control about which he worried in the spring Is sharper than ever. The major factor now Is wheth er his luck can hold. Sandy has everything else, in spades. But the Lady has to keep smiling. Raiders, Jets to get aid from . 6 others DALLAS, Tex. (UPI) The have-not Oakland Raiders and New York Jets of tho American Football League are due to get some help from the league's six other teams. Milt Woodard, assistant league commissioners, said here Sunday that representatives of the other six teams formed the plan at a New York meeting. The plan, which goes into ef fect June 10, calls for each of tho other six AFL teams to "freeze" 25 of their regular players. The Jets and tho Raiders can then choose one player from the re maining regulars on each team. The clubs will then "freeze" 50 per cent of their rookie crop and the Jets alone will be allowed one pick from the rest of the rookies. This same arrangement will be used on tlie free agents signed by most teams. These mostly include rookies who were not drafted, but were signed Independently. Tho Jots were unable to sign up any of their 1963 rookies because of financial problems and a re cent shift in ownership. Tlie Raid ers have never quite recovered from the fact lliat they were taken into tlie league a little later than the other original AFL mem bers three years ago. Oakland last year finished with a 1-13 mark. USC could win title from Cal By United Press International Southern California today was in good shape to take the California Intercollegiate Baseball Associa tion race after defeating California Saturday while Stanford dumped second place UCLA. The Trojans took the Bears 11-5 as Cal contributed eight errors. Kenny Washington Jr. hit a hom er for USC. Stanford bumped UCLA 7-3 behind the pitching of Darrel Sutherland. USC is now 9-5. while UCLA ended the league with a 9-7 mark. Stanford still has hopes with a 7-6 record. In other scores Saturday it was San Diego State over Long Beach 6-3 and 3-2, while Fresno State took Cal Polv 9-2 and then lost 3-1 in the nightcap.
