Giants Will Need Miracle
To Get Far in Flag Chase
(This is the sixth in a series

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.
The purpose of the Mobilgas
Economy Run is to determine
the efficiency of American stock
cars over the same city and
country highways encountered
by the average motorist in a
full year of driving.
Flaherty will visit newspaper
and radio station officials.

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.

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."
That's the word from Wes
Stauffer, Prospect High coach.
Stauffer said the Cougars had
hopes of a stronger club than
that fielded last year but "the
way it looks we won't be able
to get ready."
Returning lettermen are Don
Vannice, pitcher; Dave Gardner,
pitcher and infielder; Mike
Clark, first base; Jim Valentine,
third base; Allen Valentine and
Richard Robinson, outfield.
Others turning out are: Jim
Davidson, Dale Chapman, Bud
Gillespie, Mickey Ring, Tom
Davidson, Ray Scaife, Ted
Freed, Floyd Scaife, Kern
Grieve, Mike Burrill, Norman
Jantzer, Dick Cummins.
