Burdette, Maglie Pitch Clubs
To Triumphs In National Loop
Br FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
It's like old times today for
four pitchers who celebrated
their first appearances of the
new season by picking on fa
vorite "cousins."
The No. 1 job, of course, was
turned in by Lew Burdette who
pitched the Milwaukee Braves
to a 1-0 victory over the Cin
cinnati Redlegs. It was the
eighth straight win for Burdette
over the Redlegs dating to 1955
and it gave him a 10-4 career
record against them.
The Brooklyn Dodgers re
mained the only other unbeaten
team in the National league
when Sal Maglie tossed a four
hitter for a 6-1 triumph over
the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 39-
year-old Maglie now has a 23-5
lifetime mark against the Bucs.

Triples by Averill
Spark Padre Victory
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The heroes of Thursday's Pa
cific Coast league action were a
couple of guys who do most of
their work with their caps on
backwards.
Catchers Eddie Sadowski of
San Francisco and Earl Averill of
San Diego laid down their big
gloves and took up big bats to
give their teams victories in
games that saw little change in

International Hits 50th Year
Fifty years of progress in International motor truck engi
neering and production are represented by the original 1907
"IHC Auto Wagon" and the new "Golden Jubilee" light-duty
pickup, one of the new International A-line of light, medium
and heavy-duty motor trucks being introduced to the Med
ford area by International Harvester Co., 2232 Biddle rd.,
Medford. The high-wheeled Auto Wagon's 20-horsepower
two cylinder air-cooled engine compares with five gasoline
and four LPG six-cylinder high-torque truck engines from
112 to 154 horsepower available for the new International
models. While the Auto Wagon was built specifically for
hauling produce from farm to market, new International
trucks are offered in a wide variety of four and six-wheel
and all-wheel-drive models for specialized and general truck
ing applications. Golden Jubilee pickup, rated at 4.200
pounds gross vehicle weight, features a seven-foot custom
pickup body, new Sweep-Around windshield with 1,181
square inch glass area and a new 65-inch wide custom cab
which has the widest inside dimension of any comparable
truck model. Wheelbase is 114 inches. Standard engine is rat

the early season standings.
Sadowski hit a three-run
homer to spark a 6 to 1 Seal win
over Seattle while Averill clout
ed two triples as San Diego turn
ed back Portland 4 to 1. Center
fielder Len Green heroed Van
couver's 7 to 2 win over Sacra
mento while Los Angeles was
taking the measure of Hollywood
3 to 1. .
The wins by San Francisco
and Vancouver kept those clubs
tied for the league lead as Sacra
mento dropped from fifth to
seventh in the standings.
Seals Struck Paydirt -
Sadowski's blow came in the
fifth frame after Seattle had
spotted Red Munger, with a 1 to
0 lead in the top of the inning.
The Seals, who cracked out 15
hits en route to the victory, con
tinued the assault on Munger
and veteran Harry Dorish kept
the Rainiers away from pay dirt
the rest of the way to record his
second win.
Averill, whose home run was
the only score of the game Wed
nesday continued his heavy
clouting Thursday night at the
expense of Portland pitching.
His two three-batters gave him
one run batted in and he scored
two more to help Gene Lary to
the victory.
Lary needed help from Jim
Grant in the eighth to gain his
first pitching win of the season.
Grant forced George Freese to
hit into a double play to end a
Portland scoring threat in the
eighth, then fanned Jack Litt
rell, Frank Ernaga and Dan
Baich in the ninth to end the
game.
Run In Second
The Padres scored a run in the
second on one of Averill's triples
and a single by Bill Moran. In
the fourth, a single by Ed Kazak,
Averill's second triple and a
sacrifice fly by Moran brought
in two more runs.
The Padres made it 4-0 in the
sixth when Stu Locklin doubled,
went to third on a poor throw
by Luis Marquez and scored on
a single by Rudy Regalado.
Portland's only tally came in
the eighth inning on singles by
Solly Drake and Bob McKee and
a fly by Marquez.
The Vancouver Mounties
matched San Francisco's pace
with a five-run uprising in the
fifth inning that routed Cloyd
Boyer and let George Bamber
ger notch the win, the fifth in a
row for the Mounties.
Runs Unearned
Green scored three times for
the winners, hitting a single, a
double and a triple.
Both ' Sacramento runs off
Bamberger were unearned al
though they came in the third
inning and gave the Solons a
temporary 2-1 lead.
The fireworks of matching
long-ball hitting Dick Stuart of
Hollwood against Steve Bilko of
Los Angeles continued to fizzle.
Stuartwas hitless in three at
tempts and Bilko got a pair of
singles in four tries.
The Angels made it two in a
row over their cross town rivals
and dropped the Stars out of a
virtual first place tie.

Champ Golf
Las Vegas, Nev. (U.R) A
pair of "opposites" in the world
of golf teed off in the ' second
round of the $40,000 Tournament
of Champions today holding a
one-stroke lead over a closely
bunched field of 23.
Battling for the $10,000 first
prize were Ed Furgol, the lame
armed swinger from St. An
drews, 111., who missed eight
putts of less thanfour feet Thurs
day and still came in with an
even-par 72; and the picture
swinger, young Arnold Palmer
of Latrobe, Pa.
The weather was so bad Thurs
day that their 72s were regarded
as classics in the world of cham
pionship golf. But for all their
efforts they held only a one
stroke lead over defending cham
pion Gene Littler, former cham
pion Art Wall, the Texas wind
player; Fred Hawkins, and the
ancient Jimmy Demaret, who
never has been known to post a
poor score in rugged weather.
Close oh the heels of the lead
ers came Masters champion Doug
Ford and the veteran Pete Coop
er with 74s. Dow Finsterwald,
Billy Casper and National Open,
Champion Cary Middlecoff, the
5-1 tournament favorite, each
had 75. At 76 were Mike Sou
chak, Billy Maxwell, Peter
Thomson and Mike Fetchick.
Don January and Dick Mayer
had 78; Ted Kroll and Bobby
Rosburg 79; E. J. Dutch Harri
son 80 and Bo Wininger and
Doug Sanders 81.

Big Punch Heaved
At Arch Moore
Grand Rapids, Mich. U.R)
Light heavyweight champion
Archie Moore feinted with his
left Thursday night and National
Boxing association President
Floyd Stevens threw a haymaker
right back, saying Moore will
fight Tony Anthony or lose his
title.
"Moore will fight for the title
on the day he's signed for the
fight for it or we'll take the title
away from him, that's all," Ste
vens said.
Moore, who is as handy or
handier with words than he is
with his aging arms, said in
Essen, Germany, that he is de
manding a $100,000 guarantee to
meet Anthony. He added that he
hasn't signed to fight the hand
some Harlemite.
But a contract was exhibited
to newsmen in Detroit March 25
which Moore on hand had
purportedly signed to meet the
winner of the Anthony-Chuck
Spieser fight June 7 at Detroit
Olympia.
"We've been very patient with
him," Stevens said.- "As far as
we're concerned he signed a
binding contract.''
