am Francisco,
Opemi West Coast Majors Today
Br ALEX KAHN
United Prtss Sports Writar
San Francisco (IP) The
Los Angeles Dodgers, making
their West Coast debut away
from home, today will adopt
the role of "spoilers" as they
hope to dampen San- Fran
Cisco's enthusiasm for the
Giants by defeating the trans
planted New York club.
Manager Walt Alston, who
has been issuing revised line
ups like war communiques,
was not definitely decided on
his players as they went into
pre-game batting practice.
"I can't say we're 100 per
cent ready as long as Duke
Snider is not in top shape and
San Francisco OF) Th
weatherman predicted
clear and sunny weather
for today's opener between
San Francisco and Los An
geles but Charlie Dressen,
the Dodgers' coach, feared
rain for Wednesday night.
"I'm pretty well ac
quainted with this park."
declared Dressen who once
managed the Oakland Oaks
and masterminded many a
game at windswept Seals
Stadium against the San
Francisco PCL club. "The
weather usually is all right
in the daytime. But at
night icicles."
he doesn't appear to be be
cause of that knee condition,"
Alston said.
The soft-spoken manager
also was concerned whether
infielder Charlie Neal, star of
the spring season, would be
in top shape for the opener.
Neal strained a chest muscle
last week end while the
Dodgers were barnstorming
through Arizona and was kept
out of the final two spring
training games.
"Aside from having a
bunch of sore-armed pitchers,
Schayes Called
Best Ail-Around
Tall Hoopman
University of O r e g o n
Dolph Schayes, the Syracuse
Nationals' star and a member
of the East team which will
play the West in the NBA
All-Star game in McArthur
court on April 16, is the
greatest all-around big man in
basketball.
That particular praise
comes from a young man
who knows whereof he speaks
Frank Ramsey of the Bos
ton Celtics. Ramsey has
played directly opposite the
6-foot 8-inch Schayes on many
occasions.
The Ramsey contention un
doubtedly will draw the ire
Di the Bob Pettit fans. Pettit
is the 6-foot, 8-inch star of
the St. Louis Hawks.
Ramsey, however, sticks by
his guns. "Dolph can do
everything," says Ramsey.
"He can shoot sets from the
outside, he can pop 'em , in
from the corner, he can drive
for the basket and he can re
bound." The statement is borne out
by the record book.
With the exception of the
1951-52 season when he fin
ished 17th, Schayes has been
among the top 10 in scoring.
The 10-year veteran and for
mer New York university
great has also been high on
the list in rebounding and
free throws.
Highest Scorer
This season he became the
highest scorer in pro basket
ball history when he soared
above the 12,000 point mark
to break George Mikan's ca
reer record of 11,764.
If he doesn't get the driving
room, Schayes is content to
let the ball go from down
town. His patented shot is a
two-handed high trajectory
bomber that is virtually
unique in this modern era of
one-handed push and jump
shots.
Many players feel that
Schayes, like good wine, has
improved with age. The Cel
tics' Arnie Risen, himself a
10-year veteran of the league,
says "Dolph seems to get bet
ter in every phase of the game
each year."
However it would be diffi
cult to measure the improve
ment. After all the big guy
has been an all-league selec
tion for the last eight years.
Tickets for the Oregon club
sponsored attraction are now
on sale at McArthur court.
ALOUETTES SIGN COOPER
Montreal OP) Thurlow
Cooper, six-foot - two, 215
pound end from the Univer
sity of Maine, has signed with
the Eastern division Montreal
Alouettes of the Canadian
Football league. Cooper had
a tryout with the Cleveland
Browns in 1957 and was the
last player cut by that club.
Ali but eight of the states
in the U. S. have a ban on
fireworks sale and use.
the rest of the squad is in
pretty good condition," Al
ston said.
If the manager sticks with
his latest and fourth lineup,
he will start a San Francisco
boy, Gino Cimoli, in the lead
off position. But even that
promise was not definite. Ci
moli will lead off if Snider
and Neal both can play, oth
erwise Jim Gilliam gets the
leadoff spot.
Alston was hopeful that
Snider, his top lefthanded
hitter, can start because the
Giants announced Ruben Go
mez, a righthander, was open
ing on the mound for them
Snider in past seasons . has
been especially effective
against Gomez.
But the Darrtown, Ohio,
manager was confident that
he was starting the ace of his
mound staff in Don Drysdale,
the 21-year-old Los Angeles
youngster voted in the United
Press poll of baseball writers
as the pitcher most likely to
lead the National league.
Drysdale tried out the
mound at Seals Stadium Mon
day, checking the pitching
rubber and making ' a few
tosses to catcher Rube Walk
er who will be his battery-
mate today.

Vern Salmans, 817 Grant
st., reported that he caught
an albino bullhead catfish last

CARDS TRIM TWO
St. Louis OP) Right hand
ed pitcher Lynn Lovenguth
and Lloyd Merrit were, cut
by the St. Louis Cardinals to
day, leaving the player roster
at the legal limit of 28. The
Cardinals said they had not
as yet decided to which clubs
Lovenguth and Merrit would
be sent.
Average time for a court
case (no jury) to get actual
court action is now about 4.6
months, according to a sur

Both teams were prevented
from engaging in batting prac

Veteran Carl Furillo, a

efforts. Furillo, despite his
lack of hitting this spring was
given Alston's assurance he
would start.
