L. A.'s Koufax
tosses no-hitter
ponders 'jinx

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.

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-

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.

"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-

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

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.
