men and fans alike had good
wishes for the new San Fran

of them noted that the "Los
Angeles Dodgers" probably
won't be far behind in making
the shift.
"The transfer of the New

Yankees, Braves Are
'In' Oddsmakers Say
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
The Yankees arid Braves are
"in," according to the oddsmak
ers, and that's the same feeling
Casey Stengel and Fred Haney
shared today although they
both made the traditional "any-
thing-can-happen-yet" speeh
just to hedge a bit.
Stengel's Yankees have a 7V4-
game lead with only 37 games
left to play as they launch their
final Western trip tonight with
a game against their Kansas
City cousins.
The quotation on the world
champions is "out" and 10-1.
That means if you want to bet
they will win the American

19 Whiffs,
New Record
By UNITED PRESS
Yakima's sizzling Jim Hemric
wrote a new Northwest league
strikeout figure in the books
Monday as he whiffed 19 bat
ters to lead his teammates over
front-running Wpnatchee, 5-1.
The loss lefthe Chiefs five
games out front of Eugene, 4-2
victor over a determined Salem,
bidding for the runner-up berth.
And in the remaining game,
Lewiston pushed Tri-City a step
deeper Into the root cellar, 4-1,
behind tight pitching by Art
Tinsley.
Hemric doled out five hits
and walked but one in chalking
up his fourth straight win with
out defeat. He lost a shutout in
the second when the Chiefs clus
tered two singles, a base on balls
and a sacrifice fly.
Tied for second going into
Monday night's game, Salem
dropped back0a full game on
stingy hurling by Eugene's Bail
ey Brem who held the losers to
six scattered hits and struck
out five for his third win in
four starts.
In another exhibition of fine
pitching, Art Tinsley fanned six
and walked five for his fifth
win in 11 decisions. He had a
three-hitter going for eight in
nings, but was touched for three
singles and one run in the
ninth.

general feeling that it's much i
more practical economically to
have two teams on the Westj
Coast than just one.
Said Leo Durocher, who for
merly managed both the Giants
and Dodgers:
"The Giants will do very well
in San Francisco. It's just great
for all concerned. I thought the
Dodgers were almost a cinch to
come first, but the Giants are
just beating them to the
punch."
'Things Changing'
And Frankie Frlsch, an all
time great player while with
the Giants and still close to
League pennant, you're out of
luck, but if you want to bet
they won't, you can get 10-1
odds.
Milwaukee, with a 6-game
lead and 37 games remaining,
starts its last big road trip of
the year with a game against
the Pirates tonight. And if you
think the Braves won't win the
National League flag, there's
7-1 odds waiting for you.
Apparently, neither Stengel
nor Haney is worrying unduly
about "blowing" the pennant in
the next 40 days.
"This thing ain't over yet,"
said the ever-cautious Stengel,
"even though I gotta say we
look in good shape. If we can
get through this trip with a
pretty good lead, I think we'll
be all right."
On the Milwaukee side of the
ledger, Haney pooh-poohed the
idea that the Braves' three week
end losses to the second-place
St. Louis Cardinals was the be
ginning of a "nosedive."
"It was just a natural let
down after winning 10 in a
row," declared the Milwaukee
skipper. "I think we can bounce
right back. This is a good ball
club that's confident it can go
all the way."
Kansas City defeated Cleve
land, 1-0, on Tom Gorman's
four-hit pitching in the only ma
jor league game scheduled Mon
day.
The Athletics scored the only
run of the game in the sixth in
ning off Ray Narleski when
Bob Cerv singled, stole second
and came home on Tim Thomp
son's single. . The victory was
Gorman's third of the season
whiie Narleski suffered his
third loss against nine victories.
Gino Cimohs llth-inning
double gave the Dodgers a 2-1
victory over the International
League All-Stars at Montreal.
Held hitless over the first six
innings, tied the score in the
eighth and went on to win the
game in the 11th on Cimoli's hit
which scored Junior Gilliam.
Southpaw Sandy Koufax was
the winner in relief.

"... Things are changing in

west, too, possibly someone else
will move to New York to re
place them. New York is too
big to have just one club."
New York 'IP! The New
York Giants were lured to
San Francisco by a fabulous
offer which virtually guaran
tees them a profit.
First, San Francisco agreed
to construct a modern park
with a capacity of 40,000 to
45.000. New York's Polo
Grounds seats about 52,000,
but has antiquated seats, rest
rooms and has long been
known as a "cheap home run
park" because of its horse
shoe dimensions.
Second, San Francisco will
establish and operate a park
ing area with a capacity of
from 10,000 to 12,000 cars.
The Giants have space for
about 2,000 cars at the Polo
Grounds.
Third, the city agreed that
all concessions will go to the
Giants during its exclusive oc
cupancy of the stadium.
Fourth, the Giants must
guarantee a rental of only
$125,000 a year against 5 per
cent of the gross receipts aft
er deducting taxes, the visit
ing clubs' share and the
league's share. No rent will
be paid for World Series, A1I
Star games or exhibition
games for charity. The Giants
claim rental and upkeep at
the Polo Grounds cost them
5600,000 a year.
The Giants will have all
advertising privileges on the
stadium fences and the city
exclusive privileges beneath

Can Laugh
Off Skeptics
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco HP) Experi
enced professional baseball men
couldn't do it; and a multimil
lionaire tried without success.
But a local milkman can take
a bow for bringing major league
baseball to San Frincisco.
His name is George Christo
pher and currently he is mayor
of the city. But long before that
he was actively interested in
sports in general, baseball in
particular, and major league
baseball specifically.
With the New York Giants
heading for the city, Christopher
now can laugh off some of the
skeptics' comments he heard
when he first announced five
months ago:
"The New York Giants will
be calling San Francisco their
home In 1958."
There had been talk and spec
ulation about major league base
ball in this city ever since the
end of World War II when the
Seals were drawing better than
a half million fans every season.
Paul Fagan bought the club
about that time and lost more
than one million dollars in at
tempts to make this a major
league city.
But Christopher went about
the job with such quiet, straight
forward offers that the eastern
owners couldn't turn down the
proposals.
"When I made the statement
five months ago that we would
have major league baseball in
San Francisco by 1958 I was 90
per cent certain that it would be
true."
It was hard for local fans to
believe the statement. Some said
he was just trying to get- his
name into the newspapers be
cause he wanted to run for the
Senate. Others said they'd be
lieve it the day Willie Mays
went up to home plate wearing
a San Francisco uniform.
But Christopher isn't the type
of man to use sports for personal
gain.
An old semipro baseball play
er who was born in Greece and
came to this country when he
was two years old, he never has
lost his interest in sports and
was one of the staunch backers
for the bond issue of a few years
ago that won approval for the
construction of a five million
dollar stadium.
"We have land now and will
fill in part of the day for park
ing space for the new stadium,"
he says. "We can start construc
tion as soon as we get the final
word and contracts are signed.
The stadium will seat between
40,000 and 45,000 fans and have
parking facilities for between
10.000 and 12,000 cars."
With the move now just about
an assured fact, Mr. Mayor can
sit back and witness the fulfill
ment of a dream.

a half game on the Pacific Coast

Vancouver, earmarked by the
pre-season experts for the lower

out-hit and out-pitched the bor
dertowners in a twin-bill, 3-1
and 2-0. The Pads had to con
tent themselves with extending
the Brit'sh Columbians to eight

one run and eight hits off 17

but came back to post an 8 to
5 win over Seattle. The bulk of
the fans apparently stayed
home to enthuse with neighbors
over the official announce
ment the National League

Elsewhere in the league, low

twice in the bottom of the ninth
to trim Holywood, 3 to 2.
Sandy Consuegra notched his
fifth victory without a setback
in Vancouver's first win but it
was Buddy Peterson's two-run
homer in the eighth that did the
trick. The fact that Peterson is
an ex-Padre didn't help matters
for the Pads, who slipped back
into fourth place before the
night was over. Don Ferrarese
got credit for his seventh win
the lead at the end of the first
18 holes, said he liked the course
