ing. The teams play again to
night. While Gomez was holding
the Dodgers to six hits with
his back-breaking screwball,
the Giants clubbed three Dod
ger hurlers for 11 safeties to
start the season right.
Daryl Spencer helped put
the skids under Don Drysdale,
the Dodgers highly-touted
right-hander, by smashing a
bases-empty home run in the
fourth inning to become the
first player in the league to
do it for a West Coast team
That blow touched off
four run blast which had pre
ceded a two-run uprising in
the third inning.
Drysdale Out
And before the big fourth
was over, three more runs
came in and Drysdale left with
his first loss of the season
Two of them crossed the plate
after a single by Willie Mays
off Don Bessent. who had re
lieved Drysdale after two
were out and two aboard.
Drysdale gave up six runs
and five hits in 3 2-3 innings.
Bessent threw another solo
home run to Orlando Cepeda
in the next frame to give the
Giants a 7-0 cushion and
Willie Kirkland singled across
the final run in the eighth.
But it all wasn't that easy
for Gomez, who often had to
hang in there tough. In the
second inning' he fanned catch
er Al Walker and Don Drys
dale to get out of a jam with
men on second and third.
Then with two out in the sixth
and seventh innings, he got
Carl Furillo and Duke Snider
to ground out ending each
frame with two on base.
Gomez Gets Tough
Then in the ninth, Gomez
fanned Furillo and Pee Wee
Reese. The Dodgers captain
went down for the final out
with two more mates on
board.
Mays went two for five. The
pride of the Giants was tagged
out at second by Bessent after
singling in two runs in the
fourth and trying to stretch
the hit.
"Those young fellows cer
tainly helped us old men,"
Gomez said afterward while
Rigney caroled over the way
rookies Jim Davenport, Ce
peda and Willie Kirkland
handled themselves in their
first major league game.
"All my stuff broke just
right," Gomez continued. "I
threw everything at those
Dodgers except my glove."
Ramon Monzant of Venez
uela, who had a 3-2 record
last year with the Giants, is
scheduled to go tonight
against left-hander John Pod
res, 12-9, of Los Angeles.

contests.
A brilliant pitching duel be
tween the Rainiers' Art Fowl
er and Spokane's Connie
Grob at Seattle Tuesday after
noon was halted after 12 in
nings with the score tied at
1-1. Fowler gave up only four
hits, holding the Indians score
less after the first inning,
while Grob limited the Rain
iers to eight safeties.
More Rain
The second half of the day
night doubleheader at Seattle
was also postponed as was a
single night game at Vancou
ver between the Mounties and
Salt Lake City. .
Rain also halted a day
night doubleheader at Port
land between the Beavers and
Sacramento. The afternoon
tilt was tied at 3-3 after six
innings before a steady down
pour halted proceedings. Thir
ty thousand had been expect
ed to attend the two games
before a crowd of only 7,359
turned out in blustery weath
er for the opener.
At Phoenix, Dave Pope s
towering homer in the eighth
inning gave the Padres a
come-from-behind victory over
the home club. The Giants
had scored two runs in the
first and six in the second to
take an 8-0 lead but the
Padres rallied to score 10
runs on 13 hits over the last
seven innings.
Barrage of Hits
Both teams sprayed a steady
barrage of hits all over the
park during the contest, in
eluding five home runs, three
by the Padres and two by the
Giants.
San Diego used five pitch
ers. Julio Guerra, who came
on in the seventh, shut out
the Giants during his stint on
the mound to gain the vic
tory. Phoenix starter Max
Surkong was knocked out in
the seventh while Bud Pod
bielan of the Padres went to
the showers after a six-run
Giant uprising in the second.
At Seattle, Spokane took a
one-run lead in the first when
Fowler forced in a run with
a bases-loaded walk. Seattle
came back to tie the score in
the fifth with back-to-back
doubles by Bobby Balcena
and Eddie Basinski.
In the Portland-Sacramento
game, the Beavers scored a
pair of. runs in the first in
ning and added another in the
third when Ed Winceniak
homered. The Solons retali
ated with two runs in the
fifth and deadlocked the con
test at 3-3 with another score
in. the sixth.
