Orioles Profit With Zuverink;
Tom Brewer Has 0.79 ERA
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Baltimore Orioles have
poured out $600,000 in bonus
money but it's a $10,000 waiver
deal that's really paying off for
them.
That's what the Orioles paid
the Detroit Tigers for George
Zuverink last July 9 and foday
it looks like they acquired the
majors newest relief pitching
star. He's retired the last batter
in eight of the Orioles' nine vic
tories this season and sports a
brilliant 1.15 earned run aver
age. The 29-year-old right-hander
from Holland Mich., did it again
Monday night when the Orioles
scored their third straight tri
umph over the Tigers, 4-3. It was
sweet revenge for Zuverink who
also retired the last batter in
each game of the Orioles' Sun
day doubleheader sweep of
Detroit
Just Two Pitches
Zuverink replaced Bill Wight
in the ninth inning Monday
nieht and retired the side on two
pitches when Harvey Kuenn hit
into a double play, ine unoies
then presented George with his
second victory of the campaign
when Hal Smith singled witn tne
bases filled and one out in the
bottom of the ninth.
In all, Zuverink has appeared
in 12 of the Orioles' u games
and has allowed only 19 hits and
thr pamprf runs in 23 innings
Jim Wilson's 3-2 verdict over the
Wasington Senators on April 20
is the only Baltimore victory in
which Zuverink was not on
hand for the last putout,
Tom Brewer, 25-year-old right
hander, tossed a four-hitter and
struck out nine batters to lead
the Boston Red Sox to a 5-1 win
over the Cleveland Indians in
the only other American League
game. Brewer, who has an 0.79
ERA for the season, retired the
first 10 men he faced as he
scored his thiijl victory. Dick
Gernert and Norm Zauchin hit
homers to provide the big blows
in the Red Sox' 14-hit attack.
Brares And Cards Win
In the National League, the
Milwaukee Braves retained their
hold on first place with a 3-1
triumph over the Brooklyn
Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardi
nals downed the New York
Giants, 6-3.
Bob Buhl limited the Dodgers
to six hits and got out of his only
two serious jams by inducing
Jackie Robison to hit - into
double plays. Del Crandall
knocked in two runs with a
single and a sacrifice fly and
Hank Aaron homered for the
third Milwaukee run.
The Cardinals scored five runs
in the sixth inning on one clean
single, two bunt singles, thres
walks, a wild pitch and a sacri
fice fly to trip the Giants and
tie Cincinnati for second place.
The loss ruined a fine debut by
Giant rookie first-baseman Bill
White, who broke in with a
homer in his first at bat and also
had a double and single.

Vancouver, B.C. (U.R) There
was only one game played in
the Pacific Coast League last
night, but it produced two re
sults, Los Angeles moved a full
game ahead of the pack and
Hardluck" Bob Harrison of
Vancouver was nicked for his
fourth loss.
Harrison has won three games
this season, but can't seem to
get the wins that he most de
serves. Last night he looked like a
cinch with 12 strikeouts, only
four walks and a one-run lead
with two out in the ninth but
then the trouble started.
Ed Haas of Los Angeles went
to first on a walk and Steve
Bilko bounced a grounder to
shortstop Witty Quintana for
what seemed to be the end of
the game. But Quintana bobbled
the ball for his second error of
the night and both hands were
safe.
The Angels took advantage
of the opportunity and scored
three quick runs on singles by
Bob Speake, George Freese and
Jim Bolger. Angel reliefer Ray
Bauer blanked the cellar-dwellers
in the last frame and took
the 6-4 decisions.

PCL Prexy
Fines Umps
San Francisco (U.R) Pres
ident Leslie O'Connor of the
Pacific Coast league unleashed a
few fiery words yesterday, and
when the smoke cleared away:
1. Umpires Gordon Ford and
Cecil Carlucci were fined $50
apiece for failing to show up for
a game in Vancouver, April 30.
2. All umpires were warned

ed an assignment.
3. Manager Tommy Heath of

ed by O'Connor for "gross neg

Needles' Chance
Good To Capture
Triple Diadem
Louisville, Ky (U.R) Nee
dles, the 82nd Kentucky Derby
winner, has a great chance to
become the ninth triple crown
winner in the history of the
American turf.
The Florida-bred colt owned
by the D & H Stable of Bonnie
Heath and Jack Dudley showed
more speed in winning his derby
than his derby winning sire and
grandsire did in theirs. Both of
them failed in their quest of the
triple crown but while they both
finished fast to win, neither
showed the finishing lick which
carried Needles to victory.
Fast Closing Rally
Sire Ponder and grandsire
Pensive each were timed in 2:04
1-5 in the mile and one-quarter
classic. Needles cut loose with
one of the best closing rallies
ever seen in a Kentucky Derby
to flash across the finish line in
2:03 2-5.
Needles goes to Maryland to
day by train for the Preakness
May 19. Then will come the Bel
mont Stakes in New York in
June.
