MEDF0RD&wTRI6UNI Giants Will Need Miracle To Get Far in Flag Chase (This is the sixth in a series en the 19S7 prospects of major league clubsl By BILL McFARLAND Phoenix, Ariz. (U.PJ The New York Giants will need a miracle, like the one in 1951, if they are to get very far in the National league pennant race this year. Although Bill Rigney, in his second year as manager of the Giants is an optimistic fellow, he knows it will take a lot oi doing to beat out Brooklyn, Mil waukee, Cincinnati or St. Louis for a place in the first division. "I know we're better than a sixth place ball club," said Rig ney, "But I'll have to admit we have a lot of ifs connected with our club." The ifs apply to: Red Schoendient's ability to play a full season at second base following an arm injury last year. Gail Harris' hitting. Harris could not solve big league pitch- 500-Mile Race Winner To Visit Pat Flaherty, winner of the 1958 Indianapolis 500-mile auto race, will be in Medford, Tues day, March 26, to talk about the 1957 Mobilgas Economy Run which goes from Los Angeles to Sun Valley, Ida., April 14-18. Flaherty, still recovering from injuries received in an Eastern racing accident last August, is a technical advisor for the econ omy run. The 31-year-old redhead will appear here to spread the word that "economical driving is safe driving," a fact demonstrated each year by the nation's only highway performance test the Mobilgas Economy Run.

Use Mjul Tribune Want Ada Drad line Sunday ciassuiM noon Saturday. at Yogi Swings Hefty Stick For Yankees By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Yogi Berra is swinging that big bat again and its no coinci dence that the New York Yankees are looking like world champions a-.iin: Even a pre - game ligament sprain suffered by Mickey Mantle was glossed over as the Yankees pou-'ided out 16 hits for a 14-4 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers Sunday to even the spring Wor'd Series at one game each. Mantle s injury he stepped n a gopher hole while running in the outfield is expected t- sideline him for a week but is not considered ser ious. With Mantle out of action, it was up to Berra to swing the big stick for the Yankees and he did just Jiat hammering out a triple double and two singles m six tries to knock in five runs. A's In One-Hitler Art Ditmar and Bobby Shantz Kansas City's winter gifts to the champions, divided the pitching chores for the Yankees and lim ited the Dodgers to eight hits. Tom Morgan and Tom Gor man, both former Yankees, col laborated in one-hit pitching job that paced the Kansas City Athletics to a 4-0 win over the Washington Senators. Sam Jones hurled seven shut out innings without issuing a walk and struck out six as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Mil waukee Braves 1-0. Vic Wertz's three run homer and three-hit pitching by Hetb Score and Don Mossi enabled the Cleveland Indians to whip the New York Giants, 4-3. Chisox Slam Redlegi The Pittsburgh Pirates scored their ninth win in 14 games as they beat the Philadelphia Phil lies, 5-3, behind the eight-hit pitching of Ron Kline and Bob Purkey. Moe Drabowsky and Tom Po- holsky tossed a seven-hitter as the Chicago Cubs downed the Baltimore Orioles, 8-2. Dave Philley' three-run first inning homer sparked the Chi cago White Sox to an 8-1 vic tory over the Cincinnati Redlegs that ended a four-game Chisox losing skein. Ray Boone. Harvey Kuenn, Frank Boiling and Reno Bertoia homered as the Detroit Tigers walloped the Toronto Maple Leafs. 15-3, and Heywood Sul livan's two-run, lOth-inning homer gave the Boston Red Sox a 5-4 decision over the San Francisco Se?ls in other games. Angelo Defendis Will Oppose Yvon Durelle New York U.P.) Light heavyweight Angelo Defendis of Brooklyn seeks his seventh ; straight victory tonight in a 10 rounder with Yvon Durelle, ' champion of Canada, at the St. Nicholas arena. Defendis, 24, is favored at 13-5 over his more experienced, 27- j year-old opponent from Saie Ste. ; Anne, New Brunswick, because j of his punch. ing in two previous tries with the Giants. But the slick-fielding first baseman has showed signs this spring of breaking his habit of hitting at bad pitches. Rookies Have Jobs Rookies Andre Rodgers, a shortstop from Dallas, and Os sie Virgil, a third baseman from Minneapolis. Right now they have won regular jobs Rodg er;, with his power hitting and Marty Marion-like fielding, and Virgil with his hustle at third. Hank Sauei, the 38-year-ola left fielder. His legs must hold up. He has been hitting the long ball this spring as he once did. Those are Irt of ifs, but if they turn out favorably "then we're gonna have a heckuva ball team" says Rigney. There's one encouraging thing about the Giants. The odds are strong that they will get anoth er fine performance out of Wil lie Mays, the "Say Hey" Kia who makes everyone say "hey" about his h'tting, fielding and running. Mays is hitting the ball to right field wih regularity a feature that Rigney says could make him "a .380 hitter." Top Lefty For pitching, the Giants have one of the best left handers in the game in Johnny Antonelli, 20-13 last year. The much-traveled Dick T.ittlefield was pro moted to the No. 2 spot this week. After him. the starting pros pects are unpredictable Ruben Gomez, 7-17; Red Worthington 7-14 and Joe Margoneri 6-6. Rig ney also gives rookies Pete Burnside and Curt Barclay, both with Minneapolis in 1956, a chance to make the staff. The Giants No. 1 relief pitch er will be j'd Marv Grissom. who appearel in 43 games last season and had a 1.56 earned run average. Gordon Jones, who had three previous trials with the Cardinals, and Steve Rid zik also will be available for bullpen duty.

Ted Agrees West Wants Major Ball San Francisco U.R Ted Williams of .he Boston Red Sox lost his bet, but he was good hu mored about it, just the same. Last week, he bet that the ser ies between the Red Sox and the San Francisco Seals of the Paci fic Coast league "wouldn't draw 40,000." It was his way of say ing he didn't think the west coast was ready for big time ball. However, the total attendance for the three game series be tween the clubs was just short of 60,000. Sunday's game alone drew an overflow crowd of 21,- 000. No Question "Terrific," Williams smiled. "It shows- the people out here do want big league baseball. I don't think there's any question of the majors coming to San Francis- CO. And then he stuck his neck out again: "I'd bet a million dollars club will be here in two or three years." The Red Sox won a 5 to 4 tri- umDh in 10 innings over the Seals Sunday to take a 2 to 1 series edge. Prospect Hopes Hurt by Snow Prospect we have a gooa- sized turnout for baseball, ac cording to the sign-up list, but with snow on the ground you can't do much to get ready for the season or find out what av ailable material looks like."
