Drysdale Scatters
Nine Hits for Win
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Don Drysdale, youngest pitch
r ever to win a regular job
with the Brooklyn Dodgers,
shaped up today as the chap who
may make the world champions
forget World Series hero Johnny
Podres.
The 19-year-old sidearmer, a
native of Van Nuys, Calif., who
pitched in Class C ball in 1954,
struck out nine batters and
scattered nine hits Monday
night to beat the Philadelphia
Phillies, .6-J, in his. major league
debut as a starter. It may have
been prophetic that the victory
put the Dodgers in a first-place
tie with the Milwaukee Braves.
Drysdale, who was one year
old when Phillies' starter Murry
Dickson broke into organized
baseball in 1937, walked only

one batter and struck put every
Philadelphia regular except Del
Ennis and Ted Kazanski. The
Phillies scored their run in the
eighth inning on singles by
pinch-hitter Frankie Baumholtz
and Bobby Morgan and a sacri
fice fly by Gran Hamner.
Rough Inning
The 6-foot, 5-inch, 190-pound-er
had only one other rough
inning the second when he
retired Dickson with two out
and the bases filled.
Dickson pitched no-hjt ball
until the fifth inning when the
Dodgers combined a walk and
singles by Drysdale, Jim Gilliam
and PeerWee Reese for three
runs. Roy Campanella singled
home Duke Snider in the eighth
and the Dodgers added two
more runs in the ninth against
Duane Pillette.
Drysdale was not even on the
Dodgers' roster when they went
to spring training but impressed
Manager Walt Alston during
Grapefruit League play and was
signed a few days before the
season opened. He had an 8-5
record with Bakersfield in the
California League in 1954 and
was 11-11 with Montreal in the
International League last sea
son. The triumph was the Dodgers'
fourth in five games and made
their season record 4-2. In the
five games, Brooklyn's rivals
scored a total of only nine runs
and three Dodger pitchers went
the nine-inning distance.
The game was the only one
played in the majors, cold
weather forcing the postpone
ment of New York at Pittsburgh,
Detroit at Kansas City, Chicago
at Cleveland and Boston at Balti
more. The other clubs were not
scheduled.
Bilko Maintaining
Lead In Homeruns
San Francisco (U.P.) Steve
Bilko, Los Angeles' husky first
baseman, is off to a good start
in his campaign to retain his
home run crown.
In the first two weeks of the
Pacific Coast league season,
Steve clouted five homers to
lead the loop; and also topped
the league in total hits with 23;
and runs-batted-in with 14.
The batting leader is Milt
Smith, infielder for the Seattle
Rainiers. Smith has -a .44-7 per
centage with 21 hits in 47 trips
to the plate.
The early pitching leader is
Hy Cohen of Los Angeles, who
has a 3-0 record, including nine
strikeouts in the 17 innings he
has been on the mound.

Tebbetts May
Retrieve Rabe
By UNITED PRESS
Cincinnati Manager Birdie
Tebbetts was reluctant to send
pitcher Charley Rabe back to
the minors this spring, and off
the young lefthander's first per
formance in the International
league perhaps it won't be too
long before the Redlegs retrieve
him.
Rabe, a 23-year-old six- one
fireballer, who compiled a 21-7
record with Columbia of the
South Atlantic league in 1955,
set the Buffalo Bisons down on
three scattered hits Monday
night as the Cuban Sugar Kings
eked out a 1-0 victory.
The victory was Rabe's first
of the year. In his only other
start, he was relieved in the
fourth inning after giving up
two runs and was tagged with
the loss. Significantly, the Red-
legs, who need pitching to back
up their powerful attack, have
seen their opponents pile up 33
runs thus far in the first five
games.
in an afternoon game, the
Richmond Virginians jumped on
a trio of Montreal hurlers for
a 7-3 triumph, and in the only
other night game played, the
Rochester Red Wings edged the
Miami Marlins, 2-1. A scheduled

battling ex-soldiers, will get a
chance to renew their own little

soon as possible," Promoter Ted
dy Brenner promised today.
Gonzales, engaging in his first
widely-televised bout, won the
initial battle Monday night by
body-punching his way to a un
animous 10-round decision at
the nation's oldest fight club.
Gonzales, who served with
the occupation troops in Ger
many weighed 156 pounds while
Poirier, a Korean vet, scaled
151ii.
It was a bloody bout and both
fighters needed medical atten
tion at the finish. Gonzales, a
native of East Orange, N.J., suf
fered a gashed left brow that
required six stitches and his Ni
agara Falls, N.Y., opponent was
treated for a scalp cut.
Gonzales suffered his damag
ing wound in the sixth round
and it appeared the fight would
be stopped when a commission
physician examined the cut at
the end of the seventh. But, for
tunately for Gonzalez, the fight
was allowed to continue.
Thanks to some expert work
by his corner men, who control
led the flow of blood, Gonzalez
then came on fast with a strong
body attack during the late
rounds to gain the verdict of all
three officials.

"And I don't intend to lose."
the sleek, splendidly-conditioned
Robinson asserted as he prepared
to break camp here where ha
has been training assiduously for
a momn. "My legs are 'right'
now and that has been my main
worry.--
A Smart Fighter
Sugar Ray doesn't look thp
years he claims to be. and r.
tainly not the 37 which he is
listed at in the record books. But
no matter which ase vou nir-k
he figures he's a smarter fighter
now tnan he ever was.
"I've got more upstairs," he
said, tapping his forehead. "Ac
tually, I believe that today I am
am a better fighter than I was
five years ago before I retired."
Robinson retired in December
of 1952 after failing to win the
light heavyweight championship
from Joey Maxim. He started a
comeback in November of 1954
and then, after winning five of
his six tuneup efforts, kayoed
Olson in the second round last
December. It was almost three
years to the day from his retire
ment. Legs Chief Concern
As with most aging fighters,
Robinson's . chief concern has
been his legs. Thus for more
than a month he has been run
ning five miles a day, five days
a week. On the off days he takes
a 14-mile hike.
He has fought Olson three
times. Sugar Ray flattened Bobo
at Philadelphia in 1950, won a
close decision over Olson in 1952
and -knocked him out again to
regain the middleweight crown.
"That should give me three
legs on him," Ray quipped, "but
he's a hard guy to convince. This
time I'm really gonna do my
best to make him see the light."
Sugar Ray doesn't even enter
tain the notion that he can lose.
But,. ven- if he-, does, he won't
quit fighting.
"I'm a little hard to convince,
too," he explained.
