12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford-, Orecon, Thursday, April 17, 19SS " Johnny Podres Strikes Ou 1 1 As Dodgers Clip Giant 13-1; Snider, Gray , By MILTON RICHMAN United Pess Sports Writer Johnny Podres, who pitched the Dodgers to their first world championship, also pitched them to their first vic tory in California with a mas terful " performance of 11 strikeouts that gave San Fran cisco fans an inkling as to why the Giants had become the despair of New York. ' Everything went right for the Dodgers Wednesday night as they slammed out 15 hits, including homers by rookie Dick' Gray and Duke Snider, in burying the Giants, 13-1, on Podres' nifty five-hit pitch ing. The Dodgers routed starter Ramon Monzant in the third inning after Snider hit his 425-foot screamer over the right field wall with one on to put them ahead, 4-0. Giant manager Bill Rigney called on Paul Giel, Jim Constable, Ray Crone and Stu Miller from his bullpen during the course of the game, but none of them was able to halt the Los An geles onslaught. Lasts Three Hours Like most Giant -Dodger games, this one stretched three hours and three minutes. The final out was registered at 11:18 p.m. (pst) long after most New York baseball fans were sound asleep. A crowd of 22,735 fans at Seals Stadium saw the game in chilly 55-degree tempera ture and although there was a bit of grumbling about the Giants' pitching, there were no noticeable complaints about the fog from San Fran cisco Bay. Podres' 11 strikeouts was his one-game high for the ma jors. He fanned nine during the first five innings and re tired the side on strikes in the third. The Giants scored their only run off him in the sixth on rookie Jim Davenport's single, a walk and a single by Willie Mays. Cimoli to Play Today Dodger outfielder Gino Ci moli was struck above the left ear by a pitch from Giel in the seventh inning but the club physician. Dr. Harold Wendler, said the injury wasn't serious and that Cimoli would be able to play when the two teams met again to day. It was the only National league game scheduled. Maybe it's only temporary, but you can't blame the Kan sas City Athletics for being a bit excited about sharing the American league lead. , They made it two in a row by beat ing the Cleveland Indians for the second straight day, 9-4. All the experts said the A's sacrificed too much power in deals during the winter, but there was no evidence of it as outfielder Bob Cerv drove in five runs with a homer and a pair of doubles. Kansas City knocked out Ray Narleski in the first inning and Ralph Terry went on to register the victory although Tom Gorman had to rescue him in the eighth. Sobbing note: The Athletics also won their first two games last season. Detroit, which got off to a wretched start last April, scored its second straight vic tory over the White Sox, 5-4, on Frank Boiling's three-run homer with two out in the ninth inning. Three Unearned Runs Boiling blasted his game- Podres Proves Cold Weather Hill Performer Can Francisco (IP) You've heard of hot weather pitchers and now the Los Angeles Dodgers have come up with a cold weather hurler in south paw Johnny Podres who fan ned 11 San Francisco Giants in 50-d e g r e e temperature Wednesday night while his team rolled to a 13-1 victory. The trouncing, which took more than three hours to" con summate and saw a total of 26 players wandering in and out of the batting order, squared the series between the trans planted foes at one game apiece. Hysterical Manager Bill Rigney's Giants defeated L-A., 8-0, in Tuesday's historic inaugural but Wednesday's thing was more of an hysterical affair which president Horace Stone ham and 22,735 fans would just as soon forget. Podres, laughing off the dank gales which buffeted Seals, stadium fanned nine Giants during the first five in nings and held them to five hits while Los Angeles belted five San Francisco hurlers for 15 hits to go with its 13 runs. Mrnrnon TDrDTmrr RTTDmTTPHTS? Rivalry Between Dodgers, Giants Could By ALEX KAHN San Francisco (IP) Presi dent Walter F. O'Malley of the Dodgers said today his club's rivalry with the Giants may become even more in tense on the West Coast than it was in New York and Brooklyn. "Winning the opening game was a tremendous thing for the Giants in their new home," O'Malley said. "I hope we can return the com pliment when we open our home stand Friday. '"After all, there is such a thing as carrying firendship Redlegs Seek Opener Replay Cincinanti, Ohio IIP! Cincinnati Redlegs General Manager Gabe Paul Wed nesday asked that the Na tional league season opener here which the Reds lost 5-4 lo Philadelphia Tuesday, be ordered replayed. In a formal protest of an umpire's ruling, Paul stood behind manager George "Birdie" Tebbetts' charge that a fan touched the ball hit by Granny Hamner in the seventh. It was the ball on which a runner hit the lieing run before the Phils went on to win the game. Merine Resigns Racing Agency Portland IIP) Dr. Frank R. Menne Wednesday submit ted a letter of resignation from the Oregon Racing Com mission after 18 years on the job. Dr. Menne is retiring to live on his family's estate in Wisconsin. Gov. Holmes said he would name a successor in a few days. winner off Dick Donovan, who had been rapped for three sin gles by him earlier in the con test. All three of the runs were un-earned since Charlie Max well . reached first on Luis Aparicio's error and ad vanced to third on Tim Thompson's single. Donovan retired the next two batters, then worked the count to 3-and-2 on Boiling before the Tiger second baseman banged his 352-foot wallop. Bubba Phillips and Sherm Lollar each homered for the White Sox while Maxwell con nected for the Tigers. George Spencer, fifth of six Detroit pitchers, was the winner. Dave Sisler's seven-hit pitch ing and Jackie Jensen's two- run homer carried the Boston Red Sox to a 3-1 triumph over the New York Yankees. Sisler struck out eight, in cluding Mickey Mantle twice, in posting his sixth victory over the Yankees in eight life time decisions against them, He also singled home Boston's third run in the fourth inning after Jim Piersall doubled. Jensen socked his second homer of the season with Gene Stephens on base in the first inning. The blow, off loser Tom Siurdivant, proved to be all the Red Sox needed for their first victory of the cam paign following two straight losses. Ted Williams remained out of uniform but was reported recovering from a bout with ptomaine poison. Baltimore and Washington were idle.

I thought at first that the San Francisco fans hadn'i caught-on to the old rivalry between the Giants and the Dodgers during the first few innings of the opener. Delighted "But then they began loos ening up and as the game went along I got a few cat calls myself.-But that's base ball and I was delighted." O'Malley said he thought the San Francisco press was more pronounced in its com ment about the Dodgers and Los Angeles than the new home town press was in state ments about the Giants. "But if San Francisco is seeking to build up the feud element, I imagine the Los Angeles boys will be tossing it back at them before long," he said. The Dodger president said it was immaterial with him if the club carried the nickname of the "Bums" or if it was dropped. He said the newspa pers and fans eventually would start using some pet name for the club.

Protection will be provided by two large fish screens re cently completed by Peter Kiewit Sons company, Med ford, under contract from the bureau of reclamation. The lish, averaging five inches in "ength, will be stopped at the lace of the screens, collected in by-pass ports and flushed out the lower side of the dam, thereby avoiding mutilation in the turbines. The irrigation district in dicated tljat it -may start put ting stop logs in the dam, to enable the lake to fill behind it, next Sunday or Monday. Turbines of the pumping sys tem may be opened up the middle of next week to pump water into the north and south high line ditches. A district spokesman said, however, that wet weather may delay this time table. 11-Foot Panels The screen system, cover ing the turbine intakes, con sists of two panels 11 feet wide. There is more than 60 feet of fine mesh wire screen ing on each bay since the elec trically powered rotating screens extend three feet from top to the river bed. Each screen is protected by a trash rack and debris that does get by is cleaned off by a jet stream of water from back of the screens. More than 700 second feet (cubis feet per second) of water go through the screens during irrigation season.

Boyd defeated Neal Rivers. 8th ranked by the National Boxinu association, by an overwhelming margin in Wed nesday night's TV bout and the referee and both judges gave him no worse than an even break m every round scoring him the maximum 50 points for the bout. But manager Bernie Glick- man couldn't rate him that highly. v "He got cute in the last round and threw about 20 punches," he said. "I told him not to take any chances. He had the fight won, and. he wouldn't get any more for knocking the guy out. But one right hand, and he might be out of there." Boyd was close to his peak against Rivers.
