Dull Games, Not Longies Bother Fans By JOHN GRIFFIN New York (U.R) American League baseball games are tak ing just about as much time as ever, but Manager Charley Dres sen of the Washington Senators observed today, "It isn't long .. games that annoy the fans it's dull games." A United Press survey of the first eight days of the 1956 major league season reveals that the average playing time of an A.L. game is two hours and 35 minutes almost exactly the same as the 2:3 8 average at the same point last year. The National League has drop ped seven minutes from 2:45 to 2:38. The spotlight is on the Ameri can League, chiefly because of the new rule this season that only two "visit3" may be made to the mound for conversations vith a pitcher. On the second trip a manager or coach makes to the hill, the pitcher must be removed from the game. Hasn't Bothered "Hasn't bothered me any rnmmpntpd Drpssen. who IS known as a manager who in dulges in high strategy more than most. "They had the same tfile in the Pacific Coast League when I was managing there, ana I'm used to it." Canny Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Yankees, like wise insisted that the new rule hasn't shackled his mental man euvers. either. "But then I don't think I did so much walkin' out to the mound, did I?" asked Stengel "Now. there are some managers who did like Paul Richards of Baltimore and Marty Marion of Chicago. But I don't think I did it verv much." Neither skipper has noticed any speed-up, but conceded that with some teams it might cut down a few minutes. "Fans don't get sore at long games, anyway," said Dressen. "If a game goes three hours and it's close and there's good action out there, why, nobody notices it took that time. But u its dull like the 10-4 game we lost to the Yankees on opening day (Eds. Note close to aver age time at 2:38), then the fans get annoyed." Chico Track Winner Over Red Raiders Ashland Clean sweeps in the high and low hurdles helped Chico State college to a 73 to 58 verdict over Southern Oregon college in a dual track and field session here yesterday.

By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels and the San Diego Padres moved up toward: the Pacific Coast league lead last night, but the Padres had to go farther to get the same distance. The league-leading Seattle Rainiers split with San Fran Cisco to give their pursuers a chance. Los Angeles took ad' vantage of it with a 4-2 win over Sacramento to get just a half game out. San Diego also won, but the Pads had to go 14 innings to beat the Portland Beavers 5-4 in order to make the same move. The split home-opener scores at Seattle were 13-3 for the Rainiers in the daytime and 9-5 for the Seals at night. Vancouv er dumped Hollywood 9-2 in the loop's other game. Ed Kuzak hit the single that broke up the season's longest game in the bottom of the 14th after a two-base error by Lloyd Merriman, an infield out and two intentional passes had load ed the bags. Portland's Jim Baxes homered in the first inning to highlight a four-run outburst for the Bea vers. Then San Diego tied it up with one in the first and three in the second. That the way it stayed from the second through the 13th. Big Steve Bilko hammered his sixth home run of the season, drove in another run and scor ed another one to lead Los An geles to victory. Harry Perkow ski got the win and Gene Beard en the loss. In Seattle the Rainiers pleas ed the afternoon half of a split crowd with a 12-hit attack that smothered San Francisco 13-3. Joe Taylor set the pace with his fifth homer of the year, four of them off Seal pitching, but Ar nie Atkins was the big hero. At kins came on in relief in the third after Hayward Sullivan and Joe Tanner had homered and gave the Seals only, one hit the rest of the way. In the night game Seal catch er Ed Sadkowski donned the hero's robes. Sadkowsky ham mered a grand slam homer off Larry Jansen in the seventh as the Seals scored five times and came from behind to take the game. Earlier Art Schult of Seattle and Don Lenhardt of San Fran cisco had traded three-run home runs. Jerry Casale went the route for San Francisco and held the Rainiers to seven hits. Jansen was the loser. George Bamberger pitched the victory for Vancouver, al though he had to have late-inning help. The loss went to Fred Green, .first of five Hollywood hurlers.
