Giant Win and 5
Debat
m
By SCOTT BAILLIE
United Press Sports Writer
Los Angeles OP) Is it
baseball? Or is it "Screeno?"
That controversial barrier
which dominates left field in
Memorial Coliseum again was
the leading attraction Satur
day as the Giants waxed the
Dodgers, 11-4. And Manager
Bill Rigney of the transplant
ed New Yorkers, who got his
first look at the encroaching
meshwork said "Anybody
who pitches a shutout in this
park should get an Oscar."
However, Manager Walter
Alston of the Dodgers stuck
to his guns by again declar
ing that the screen would
even help the situation, be
cause, "some hits that ordin
arily would be doubles or
triples will be held to singles
even if home runs come more
easily."
Five of them drifted over
the barricade 250 feet away
today but Alston also main
tained that four "might have
been home runs in other
parks."
The only one of dubious
validity, he said, was a five
iron shot by the Giants' Or
lando Cepeda in the third in
ning which followed a two
run homer by Hank Sauer.
Alston and Rigney agreed
that Gino Cimoli's great
catch of a smash into center
field by Willie Kirkland prob
ably would have been impos
sible in any other stadium. '
Cimoli took the ball over
his shoulder out by the 430
foot marker which ordinarily
is reserved for the bleachers
The catch ended the ninth inning.
Jim Davenport, the Giants'
rookie third baseman who
handles himself like a season
ed veteran, went two for four
today to keep his batting av
erage at .547 for five games.
The Mississippian also
smashed reports that he was
"shaken" by failure to touch
third base yesterday which
cost the Giants a chance to
tie the game.
Davenport pulled off sever
al sparkling plays at his posi
tion Saturday afternoon and
the best came in the third in
ning when he went to his left
to glove a tricky grounder
by Ron Negray and throw
him out when the ball seemed
destined to trickle through
the infield for a hit.
Ruben Gomez, who went
the distance but gave up three
home runs and a triple in the
process, was told by Rigney
to lay off his cherished screw
ball 'after Charley Neal had
cleared the screen in the
third inning.
"The thing just wasn't
breaking," Rigney explained.
"I don't know if it was be
cause of the heat down there
or what."
Gomez said he didn't need
it anyway.
"With all those runs behind
me I just throw speed," he
said.

Ashland Has Big Seventh
In 13-3 Verdict Over EP
Eagle Point Ashland high
turned a close fracas into a
rout with seven runs in the
sixth inning Friday night and
defeated Eagle Point in a non-
league baseball brush here 13
to 3.
Ashland capitalized in the
sixth on hits by Pete Stemple
and Bob Johnson, five walks
and two errors. The Lithians
were on top 5 to 2 going into
the frame. Eagle Point had the
bases loaded in the first and
third innings and played its
best of the season up until the
roof caved in.
The Eagles were held to
four hits, however. Three
were given up by Pete Stem
ple who walked four, hit one
batter and fanned eight. New-

broadcast them to the specta

It said the parent club, the

Los Angeles OP) The
Dodgers and the Giants Sat
urday found the range on the
short left field foul line t o
pour five homers over the 42
foot barrier in Memorial coli
seum as San Francisco scored
an 11-4 victory before 41,303
fans.
Although the Dodgers ac
counted for three of the
cheap home runs, the Giants
punched out 15 hits, includ
ing two homers and five
doubles to record their easy
win. The fence at the foul
post is only 250 feet deep.
Veteran First Baseman Gil
Hodges of the Dodgers got
the first of the four-baggers
in the second inning. And also
for the home team, Charley
Neal hit one over the barrier
with Duke Snider aboard in
the fourth.
Dick Gray hit the third
Dodger homer as all four runs
scored by Los Angeles were
attributed to the four-bag
gers
But the Giant3 pounced on
five Dodger pitchers for their
15 hits. In the third inning
Hank Sauer, veteran left
fielder for San Francisco, got
his third homer in two days
with Willie Mays aboard
Manager Walter Alston im
mediately yanked the start
ing pitcher, Danny McDevitt
But first baseman Orlando
Cepeda then smashed a four-
bagger over the left field
barrier as the Giants scored
four times in the third frame
The Giants came back in
the fifth and got five more
runs off Larry Sherry, who
failed to retire a man after
putting four on base. Sherry
was relieved by d Kosebuck
who finally retired the side,
although he gave up three
safeties himself.
Veteran Puerto Rican pitch
er Ruben Gomez recorded his
second straight win over the
Dodgers in the five games
played thus far. He gave up
seven scattered hits in going
the full distance.
Gomez displayed mid-sea'
son control as he walked only
two men and struck out two,
The Giant pitcher also drew
a measure of satisfaction from
his effort at the plate, collect
ing two doubles and scoring
twice. He batted in one run
to aid his own cause.
Rookie third baseman Jim
Davenport, the goat of yester
day s game for failing to
touch third base in the ninth
inning, redeemed himself to
day as he got two hits in four
times at bat and scored three
runs.
Cepeda also got three safe
ties, including two singles,
plus his homer.
Attendance, added to the
nearly 80,000 Friday, gave
the Dodgers a two-day gate
of 119,975.

Keeping Up
Big Sock1
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Milwaukee Braves may
surrender their attendance
records to those transplanted
Dodgers this year but they're
bent on retaining the home
run punch that made them
world champions.
The Braves led both
leagues with 199 homers last
season and they're right back
so far this year with the "big
sock" when it does the most
good. Ed Mathews hit two
in each of their first two
games and Friday night short
stop Johnny Logan unloaded
a grand slam that provided
them with a 4-2 victory over
the Philadelphia Phillies.
Logan's blow was the "big
noise ' of another spectacular
day of coast-to-coast big
league baseball during which:
The Dodgers drew a
league record crowd of 78,672
and beat the San Francisco
Giants, 6-5 in their opener at
Los Angeles.
Herb Score and Whitey
Ford took firm steps along
the ' comeback trail."
ine Chicago Cubs re
mained the only unbeaten
team in the majors when they
beat the St. Louis Cardinals,
11-6, for their third straight
victory.
Another Grand Slam
In addition, the supposed
ly weak-hitting Chicago White
Sox slammed out four hom
ers to down the Kansas City
Athletics, 11-7, and rookie
Vada Pinson unloaded a grand
slam homer that carried the
Cincinnati Redlegs to a 4-1
decision over the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Score, kayoed by Kansas
City on Tuesday, yielded eight
walks and five hits but struck
out seven to gain his first win
since last April 27, 10 days
before he was sidelined for
the season when hit on the
eye by a batted ball. Roger
Maris homered for the In
dians and Al Kaline homered
for the Tigers. Tom Morgan
absorbed the loss.
Ford, limited to 11 vic
tories last season because of
recurring arm trouble, pitch
ed a five-hitter as the Yan
kees handed the Orioles their
first loss of the season.
BARELY SAFE Third baseman Jim Davenport of the
San Francisco Giants wheels around to see if he nipped
Los Angeles Dodgers' Carl Furillo after latter slid into
third and had to reach for it during second inning of
game at Seals Stadium in San Francisco. Furillo was
safe. The Giants won, 7-4.

eight clubs battling the weath

pour earlier in the week, the
Giants and San Diego split a
twin-bill to make it a .500

to date. San Diego took the
opener, 3-1, while the Giants
came out on-the long end of
the nightcap, 5-0.
