Cincinnati Nudges Brooklyn
4-3 on Hoak's Roundtripper
By MILTON RICHMAW
TJnited Presi Sports Writer
The Brooklyn Dodders can't
future Don Hoak. They gave him
bis first chance in the big leagu
es, cut him in for a full World
Scrie share in 1955 when he
zs with them and did every
thing they could to make him
hppy. And now, look at the
thinks they're getting.
He blasted a two-run homer
Wednesday night that beat the
Dodgers. 4 3, and snapped a
four-game Cincinnati losing
freak.
Only 11 days ago. Hoak belted
a two-run homer off Don Drys
dile to defeat the Dodgers, 3-1,
in the opener of a double-header
rd then h clouted another
home run off Ed Roebuck to
help the Redlegs take the night
cap. 3 0.
On May g he came up with a
lhre-run circuit blow off Don
Newcombe to give Cincinnati a
7-6 triumph.
The Dodgers are hoping he
jets lost somewhere.
Hoak's homer Wednesday
night came in the seventh in
ning on the heels of a pinch two
run homer by Bob Thurman.
That four-run rally spelled the
seventh victory of the season
for Tom Acker. Clem Labine
was the loser.
Care's ap Two
The St. Louis Cardinals climb
ed to within a half-game of the
pace-setting Braves by sweep
ing a twi-night double-header
from Pittsburgh, 5-2 and 5-1.
while Milwaukee blanked the
Giants. 8 0, and the Cubs beat
the Phillies twice, 9-0 and 4-3.
In the American league, the
White Sox stayed 2' 2 games in
front with a 3-1 decision over
the Orioles: the Yankees crush
ed the Tigers: 10-2; Kansas City
clipped Washington. 6-3. and
Boston beat Cleveland. 6-0.
Jim Jones and Lindy McDan
11 registered the Cardinals' pair
ei eictories over the Pirates.
Joreg itruck out 10 and pitched
eeven-hitter in the opener
which was decided in the sev
enth inning when Joe Cunning
ham's pinch two-run homer
hifhlighted a three-run rally

Limit on Reserve Clause
By TOM NELSON
Washington 'IF Rep. Tor-
bert MacDonald (D-Mass.), who
once played in the New York
Yankee farm system, called to
day for a four-year limit on or
ganized baseball's key reserve
clause.
But Minor League President
George M. Trautman, echoing
the views of baseball Commis
sioner Ford C. Frick, said any
such limit would have a "disas
trous effect" on the national
pastime.
Frick, Trautman and MacDon
ald were among the witnesses
scheduled to testify before a
House judiciary subcommittee
hearing on professional sports
legislation.
Frick testified for two hours
Wednesday urging that Con
gress take no action to jeopar
dize baseball's present immunity
from anti-trust laws. He was to
have been leadoff witness today.
Modification Asked
MacDonald, who captained
the Harvard football team in
1940 and later played in the
New York Yankee baseball
I chain, called in his prepared j
testimony for a modification of
j the reserve clause.
Under this clause, a baseball
p!aver becomes the "property'
j of jhe team ne first signs with
He can't switch to another club
unless he is sold or traded.
MacDonald proposed that if
after four years, a major league
team hasn't found a place on
its roster for the player. he
would become a free agent and

Padres Clip Seattle
To Gain 1st Division;
Portland Tops Stars
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The San Diego Padres today
were the newest tenants in the
Pacific Coast league penthouse
division, but they had to kick
the landlord in the teeth to get
there.
The Pads ousted Seattle as
fourth place occupant when Bob
DiPietro came back home to
haunt the San Francisco Seals.
The Seals had cast DiPietro off
earlier in the season but ap
parently they didn't cast him far
enough.
DiPietro's ninth inning single
gave the Padres an 8-7 win over
San Francisco that was good
ejiough to cut the Seals' PCL
lead to a game and a half after
Vancouver dumped Seattle 6-4.
Los Angeles battered Sacra
mento 10-0 and Portland beat
Hollywood 9-5 in other PCL ac
tion. Broken Bat Single
DiPietro's broken bat single in
the top o: the ninth gave Dolan
Nichols the win in relief. The
Pads had taken a five-run lead
with a second inning outburst,
for by August 1
day that it called for 'all-out
salesmanship"' to bring a major
league team here. Then he
added:
Sorry Day
"If Los Angeles lands a major
league team and we don't, it
means we will be playing
against teams like Phoenix and
Modesto. And it will be a sorry
day for San Francisco to have to
wind up in such an insignificant
league."
The National league has given
the Giants and the Dodgers the
okay to transfer to San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles respec
tively after this season. But in
the meantime, Christopher said
he would not communicate
further with thp fliants on thp
isubiect until after the anti-trnst.
1 hearings in Washington.
"Walter O'Malley, president
i of the Brooklyn Dodgers and
(also spokesman for Giants' Pres
ident Horace Stoneham wants it
ithat way," Christopher said.
Christoper's only elaboration
; was that such correspondence
witn ban rrancisco might be
subpoenaed" by the House judi
ciary subcommittee.
He said that a "letter of in
tent" is being prepared for the
Giants, describing advantages of
shifting to the West Coast, but
that it won't be mailed until
after June 26 when the hearings
are scheduled to end.
Salem Eyes Help
From Seattle
Salem OP) The Salem
Senators of the Northwest
league today looked forward to
player help from Seattle after
releasing two players who re
cently graduated from college
Outright releases were hand
ed Wednesday to Dan Lovejoy
Oregon State college catcher and
to Dwaine Brandt, a pitcher
from Oregon College of Educa
tion. Salem got its tieup with Seat
tle after Wenatchee became a
farm club of Cincinnati and it
was announced Wenatchee
would get 12 players from the
defunct Clovis team of the
Southwestern league.
Seattle said Don Fracchia, a
hurler, had been sent to Sal
em but there was some doubt
if he would report. However,
several Wenatchee players now
owned by Seattle are expected
to transfer to Salem.
Both US and UCLA have
threatened to withdraw from
the PCC, UC claims the PCC is
showing a dangerous trend to
ward professionalism, while
UL.LA favors a big-time snorts
' program.
Both schools have been panel-

Moyer Seeking
Rival for Olson
Portland UPl Promtoer
' in8 Joe Maxim here Tuesday
Moyer has been trying to line
up Tacoma's Pat McMurty for
an Olson bout in Multnomah
Stadium here. He said McMurty
and his manager-father were
away from home Wednesday.
Another possibility is Harry
"Kid "Matthews , always a Port- j
land favorite, who like Olson I
has been on the comeback trali. i
! but the Seals whittled away until
they tied it at 7-7 in the seventh
on a three-run inning.
Dave Pope hit a two-run homer
for San Diego and Marty Keough
hit one with nobody aboard for
the Seals. But it was DiPietro's
single that gave the Pads their
second straight win.
George Bamberger won his
eighth of the year for Vancouver
by scattering nine Seattle hits. A
four-run uprising by the Moun
ties pulled them ahead to stay
in spite of two home runs off the
bat of Seattle's Joe Taylor. Len
Green cracked a two-run homer
for the Mounties in the first in
ning. Bert Hamric duplicated Tay
lor's feat of two homers in a
game but his came in a win
ning cause. Wally Lammers also
homered for the Angels.
Three-Hit Shutout
Vito Valentinetti pitched the
three-hit shutout of the Sacs and
the Angels gave him an early
lead with nine runs in the first
three frames.
Mike Cocn was the losing
pitcher as the Angels scored ten
times an 10 hits.
Hollywood and Portland
played a normal sized game after
two extra inning affairs. The
Beavers scored five times in the
first off George Witt and kept
ahead the rest of the way.
John Carmiehael took the win
although he had to have help in
the sixth from Dick Fiedler.
Portland oulhit the Stars 14-12.

Taking advantage of their
own potent bludgeoning and of
rival Pitcher Jim Smith's wild
ness. the Medford Cheney Studs
added a fourth vi-.tory to their
unbeaten string in the Rogue
Valley Baseball league last
nisht.
Medford, with big uprisings
in the fourth and fifth frames,
piled up enough run; to win in
the first five innings in a 17 to
10 decision over the Grants Pass
Merchants at the fairgrounds
park here.
Studs' twirler Duane Sides,
who went the route, tired after
tossing five scoreless innings.
But the single runs pushed over
by the Cheney nine in the sec
ond panel and the five markers
each in the fourth and fifth stan
zas gave him sufficient padding
to withstand GP rallies helped
along by Medford errors.
Owing: Homers
Smith, who has had trouble
with wildness this season, ap
peared on the vay to a good
night until the Studs unburden
ed in the fourth frame. He gave
up the one marker in the sec
ond on a double ty Ron Owings.
Frank Roelandt's groundout and
a wild pitch.
The conflict fell more into
Medford control when Kovenz
lined sharply for a single and
Owings followed with towering
homer over the right field fence
to start out the fourth. Frank
Rcelandt came in with a single
and was safe at second base on
a fielder's optior rap by Frank
Rector. Jerry Droscher was hit
by a pitch and loaded the bases.
Sides squeezed Roelandt home
was a bunt. Rector tallied after
Ed Reinking's flyout and
Droscher got home on .a passed
ball.
i Jack Cooney. Roelandt and
Droscher all singled in the fifth
canto. Owings and Rector were
hit bv pitches. An error and a
pessed ball helped the run-mak
ing.
GP Gets Three
Sides gave up one hit an in
ning over the first three innings
but was aided by some good
fielding of hard GP smashes pri
or to the sixth stanza. In the
sixth Third Baseman Rector
couldn't hang on to the ball on
Jav Reese's high fly. Sides walk
ed Les Shaw and Pete Proctor.
Mel Friend slashed a single to
center field, scoring Reese and
Shaw. Proctor crossed with the
third run of the inning when
Smith socked a liner to center
pasture.
The Merchants got their fourth
run of the night in the seventh
innine on a walk, an error and
Gregg Stewart's Texas league
single to right.
Medford came back with an
offsetting three markers in the
seventh on a single by Rector
and doubles by Droscher and
Sides. After Sides had driven
Rector home, Larry Cochell re
placed Smith on the hill for the
Merchant's. Cochell yielded a
sacrifice flyout to Reinking.
Droscher. Sides was
waved across the plate from
third when the ball slipped from
Cochell's hand as he was de
livering and a balk was ruled.
Grants Pass picked up two
runs in the eighth inning on
Cochell's single, Reese's triple, a
fielder's choice and an error. In
the same frame. Kovenz, Roe
landt and Sides singled for Med
ford and there were two errors
to help three runs across.
Final Fouf Bum

al four runs in the ninth canto

and Butch McFarland. a base on
balls, two fielder's option and ari
error.
