Needles in
Derby Rating
Louisville, KyOI.R) Needles
threaded his way past all the
other solid contenders today for
Saturday's Kentucky Derby and
he was rated as a probable 2-1
choice in the betting in a field
that now was down to about 12
colts.
Needles established his posi
tion on a "stand-by" b;.sis while
other colts eleminated them
selves. The fellow hasn't had a
race since he won the Florida
Derby at Gulf stream park on
March 24, but meanwhile, the
others have been hurting them
selves. Two of the stronger entrants,
C. V. Whitney's Career Boy and
ralumpfs Pintor Lea. were
nursina iniuries today which de
tracted from their appeal, al
though Career Boy was almost
certain to. be around when the
band plays "My Old Kentucky
Home" late Saturday.
Bruises Heel
Career Boy developed a bruise
on his rear heel Saturday and
at first it apeared he would be
out of it. But after treatment by
Traine Sylvester Veitch, he
galloped a mile with ease Sun
day. At the Calumet barn, veter
an Trainer Ben Jones hoped
Pintor Lea would recover from
a Sore kne by Saturday, but
listed the coV. as "a very doubt
ful Starter." With Pintor Lea
out of it, Calumet would have
to depend on his stablemate
Favius in the derby. Pintor Lea
finished third to Needles in the
Florida Derby.
So far "sure" starters for the
derby include Needles, Head
Man, Favius, Count Chic, Ter
range. High King, Reaping
Right, Ben. A. Jones, Besomer
and No Regrets. Jean Baptiste,
who is expected to be given a
chance at the big race, will ar
rive here today.

Sweep Doubfeheaders
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press Sports Writer
If San Diego is "the team to
beat" for the Pacific Coast
League pennant this season, that
is just dandy with the first place
Seattle Rainiers who so far have
blasted the staggering Padres
seven times in eight games.
The super Suds remained
bubling on top of the PCL yes
terday by drubbing the Padres
twice in a double header at Se
attle, 11-2 and 4-0. But Los An
geles remained only half a game
behind by downing Hollywood
twice, 8-7 and 9-3, behind the
timely hitting of veteran Steve
Bilko and young catcher Jim
Fanning.
Sacramento also won both
ends of its twin bill from Port
land, 7-6 and 4-2, to hang on in
third spot and plummet the
Beavers into the cellar.

Columbia that probably has
Vancouver owner C. L. (Brick)
Laws seeing red, forced his
Mounties and San Francisco into
idleness.
The double conquest of San
Diego ran Manager Luke Sew
ell's Rainiers' winning streak to
five straight.
Howie Judson went the route
to post his second win in the
opener. Seattle banged loser
Pete Mesa for eight earned runs
and 11 hits during his five and
one-third innings.
Vic Lombardi's steady five
hitter bolstered by a bases emp
ty homer by battery mate Ray
Orteig and a two-run double by
first baseman Bill Glynn insured
the second game triumph.
Bilko Homers
Big Bilko; fighting to get back
into the majors by way of Los
Angeles, broke up the opening
game with a one run single in
the ninth after smashing a two
run homer in the first frame.
Fanning clubbed a bases loaded
home run in' the nightcap and
drove in another to insure Hy
Cohen his fourth win against no
defeats.
Managers Tommy Heath of
Sacramento and Tommy Holmes
of Portland got the thumb in the
opening game at Multnomah sta
dium for wrangling with the
umpires. But 110 doubt Mr. Tom
my's chubby features smiled
through the clubhouse window
when Rufe Crawford belted a
grand slam homer in the eighth
inning which decided the
opener.

times in the fifth inning of the

Harry Tonn, Central Point,
will manage the Colts. He re
portedly already has contacted
a few players.
Askwith stated that all play
ers of the valley interested, who
are not eligible for American
Legion ball, are welcome to try
out for the Colts. In the past
a good number of local players
have turned out for Studs drills
but have not been ready for the

The business manager said
that it is hoped that a season or
two of training in the Rogue
circuit will develop players for
the Studs aggregation. Players
of this area mostly are wanted
on the team.
In addition to playing league
games here when the Studs are
away, the Colts, like tneir par
ent club, will play some non-

grounds. Askwith reported that
the Studs are attempting to ar

Boston Celtics
Ch oose Heinsohn
New York (U.R) The Boston
Celtics exercised their territor
ial rights and selected six-foot-
seven center Tom Heinsohn of
Holy Cross today to open the
1956 National Basketball Asso
ciation draft of college players.
Heinsohn, who set a Holy
Cross scoring record of 1789
points for three seasons, was the
fourth highest . scorer in the
major college basketball during
1955-56 with an average of 27.4
points per game.
The Rpchester Royals, mak
ing the first pick in the regular
draft, then claimed Si Green,
Duquesne's two-time All-Amer-ican
backcourt star, passing up
a chance to select the heralded
Bill Russell of San Francisco's
national college champions.
Russell, six-foot-10 All-America
center who was voted the
United Press player-of-the-year,
promptly was drafted by the
St. Louis Hawks, who turned
him over to Boston as part of a
deal made Sunday. The Celtics
traded veteran center, Ed Ma
cauley to the Hawks for a No.
1 draft choice.

Post Sparks Redlegs
With Heavy Hitting;
Pirates Rap Dodgers
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Wally Posts's week end slug
ging binge earned him the major
league home run lead with seven
today and enabled the Cincinnati
Redlegs to remain unbeaten since
Ted Kluszewski was benched.
Post, who hit 40 homers last
season but labored in massive
Kluszewski's shadow, walloped
two homers and drove in four
runs in each game Sunday to
spark the Redlegs to 5-4 and 8-4
victories over the Chicago Cubs.
The victories completed a sweep
of the four-game set with the
Cubs and lifted the hard-hitting
Redlegs to the .500 mark with
a 5-5 season record.
The 26-year-old Post, a na
tive of St. Wendelin, O., hit a
pair of two-run homers to drive
in the Redleg's first four runs
in the opener and wound up his
big day with a three-run blast
and a solo homer in the night
cap. He is tied with teammate
Ray Jablonski for the National
League lead with 13 runs batted
in.
Wally had plenty of assist
ance from his hard-hitting team
mates, catcher Ed Bailey homer
ing for the decisive run, in the
eighth inning of the opener and
rookie Frank Robinson blasting
a tremendous homer against a
light tower in right center field
in the second game.
Fowler Goes Route
Relief pitcher Buster Freeman
received credit for his first win
in the opener while Art Fowler
went the route for his first vic
tory in the nightcap. The Cubs
now have dropped five straight
and are in the N.L. cellar.
The threat of a runaway sim
ilar to last year diminished,
meanwhile, when the Pittsburgh
Pirates surprised the world
champion Brooklyn Dodgers by
sweeping a doubleheader, 10-1
and 11-3. Catcher Jack Shepard
drove in five runs with two
homers and Bob. Friend pitched
a six-nitter lor nis secona win
in the first game. In the second
game, Frank Thomas and pitcher
Vern Law homered to lead Pitts
burgh's 16-hit attack.
The setbacks snapped a Brook
lyn five-game winning streak
and made the Dodgers' season
record 7-4. They didn't lose their
fourth game last year until May
12 by which time they had won
22 games.
Ramon Monzant, 23-year-old
Venezuelan right-hander who
said during spring training that
he might not pitch this year.
hurled a one-hitter to give the
New York Giants an 8-1 triumph
after the Philadelphia Phillies
won the opener, 5-4, on pitcher
Jack Meyer's 10th inning homer.
In the American League, the
Cleveland Indians spilt their
doubleheader with the Detroit
Tigers and the Baltimore Orioles
divided with the Washington
Senators. -
Three-Hit Performance
Bill Tuttle's 10th inning homer
gave the Tigers a 1-0 victory in
their opener despite a brilliant,
13-strikeout, three-hit perform
ance by Herb Score. Billy Hoeft
allowed nine hits but pitched
out of several jams to win his
first game. It was the second 1-0
loss of the year for Score, who
has struck out 31 batters and
yielded only 10 hits in 28 in
nings this year.
Vic Wertz and Al Smith hit
two homers each in the nightcap
and Bob Lemon pitched steady
seven-hit ball to beat the Tigers,
8-4. It was Lemon's second win
and second complete game. He
won 18 games last year but
pitched only five complete con
tests.
Hal Smith, Billy Gardner and
Tito Francona homered to lead
the Orioles to an 8-6 decision but
Dick Tettelbach's ninth-inning
single drove in the winning run
as the Senators won the second
game, 5-4.

So far this season the Comets
