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."

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.
