Athletics Stay
i American league Stamdimigs
By MILTON RICHMAN
Uniied Press Sports Writer
Joke all you like about
them being a Yankee "farm
team," but those cantanker
ous Kansas City Athletics are
giving the "parent club" a
better run for their money
than anyone else in the Amer
ican League.
All this talk about Yankee
runaway isn't making much
cf an impression on the sur
prisingly strong, second-place
Athletics who kept within a
game-and-a-half of the league
leading New Yorkers with an
Vancouver Taking Over
For Seals Spot in PCL
By UNITED PRESS
The Vancouver Mountles,
who played second fiddle to
the pennant winning San
Francisco Seals in the 1957
Pacific Coast league season,
seem to be tuning up for the
No. 1 seat this year.
The undefeated Mounties
scored their fifth straight vic
tory Monday night by defeat
ing the Spokane Indians, 5-1,
while Phoenix edged Sacra
mento, 7-6, in the only other
game played.
The San Diego - Portland
contest was postponed because
of wet grounds at the Beav
ers' park, and Seattle and
Salt Lake City were idle.
Portland is also undefeated
but it has only been able
to squeeze one game in be
tween rainstorms. Beavers
naturally take to water, but
this gang has had about all it
can stand.
Rookie southpaw Ron Moel
ler of Vancouver tossed a
steady six-hitter at the In
dians, and rookie outfielder
Barry Shetrone continued his
sensational hitting spree for
the Mounties with two triples
in three trips to the plate.
Vancouver scored one run
in the fourth, three in the
fifth and another in the sev
enth. Spokane got its only
run when Moeller's control
temporarily slipped and he
walked catcher Norm Sherry
with the bases loaded. Con
nie Grob took the loss.
In Phoenix, reliefer Joe
Shipley went to the mound
in the eighth inning to save
a game for the Giants for the
third time in three days.
Shipley came in with a 7-4
lead and would have blanked
the Solons, except fop an in
field error with two out in
the ninth. Then a walk, single
and a wild pitch netted Sacra
mento two runs, but Shipley
retired the dangerous Carlos

uphill 9-4 victory over Cleve
land Monday night.
Kansas City's hustle and
take -a- chance tactics on the
base paths already is being
buzzed about around the cir
cuit. So is their power which
they were supposed to have
sacrificed in winter deals.
Frank House supplied the
big punch when he smashed
a grandslam homer in an
eight - run eighth inning
against the Indians. The A's
took advantage of six walks
and an error by Chico Car
rasquel to push across their
Paula on an easy snap to
first base.
Paula homered in the sixth
and Jim Westlake got a pinch
hit roundtripper for the So
lons in the seventh. Leon
Wagner connected for one for
the winners.

Rookie Jim Mudcat Grant,
Cleveland's starter, had a 4-1
lead until he blew up in the
eighth. Roger Maris of the
Indians and. Woody held of
the A's had homered up to
that point. Murry Dickson,
the 41-year-old knuckleballer,
was credited with the victory
in relief of Ralph Terry.
Short Day for Larsen
Don Larsen put in a short
day but paced the Yankees to
their fifth straight victory, a
4-1 decision over the Red Sox,
while Detroit edged Chicago,
2-1. The Washington - Balti
more, game was postponed be
cause of rain.
The Cincinnati Redlegs beat
the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2,
in a 14-inning game that took
four hours and 35 minutes.
Rain washed out the only
other National Milwaukee
and Pittsburgh.
Ted Williams connected for
his first hit of the season
when he singled off Larsen in
the fifth and just to show he
hasn't lost his touch, he hom
ered off Grim in the seventh.
Hank Bauer homered in the
first inning off loser Willard
Nixon.
Second Ninth-Inning Loss
Mickey McDermott, who
some say is a better hitter
than a pitcher, pinch singled
home the Tigers' winning run
in the ninth inning against
the White Sox. McDermott's
blow came off reliefer Ray
Moore after Charley Maxwell
had opened the ninth with a
double off loser Dick Dono
van. It marked the second
time in as many starts Dono
van - lost to Detroit in the
ninth.
Detroit starter Frank Lary
gave up Chicago's only run in
the sixth on two walks and
two hit batsmen, but the Tig
ers tied the score in the
eighth on singles by pinch hit
ter Bill Taylor, Harvey Kuenn
and Al Kaline. Vito Valen
tinetti pitched the ninth for
Detroit, held the White Sox
hitless, and was the winner.
The contest between the
Redlegs and Phillies was a
weird one with 34 players
seeing action and 19 walks
handed out. Pinch hitter Bob
Thurman singled home the
tie - breaking run off Jim
Hearn in the 14th inning and
the Redlegs added an insur
ance run when shortstop Roy
Smalley committed two er
rors on the same play. -
Hal Jeff coat, third of four
Cincinnati pitchers, was cred
ited with the victory. Before
Thurman broke the tie, Hearn
had struck out five batters in
1 23 innings. Don Hoak led
Cincinnati's 15-hit attack with
three hits.

Baylor on List
For Top Choice
By Two NBLs
Detroit (IP) The Minneap
olis Lakers and the New York
Knickerbockers took their
licks during the National Bas
Ketoaii association season,
each finishing last in its divi
sion. But today the Knicks
and Lakers will get top choice
in the annual draft of college
stars.
Minneapolis will go first
today while the Knicks will
get . the third and fourth
choices, the latter because of
a trade with the Detroit Pis
tons.
Despite having two picks of
the first four, the Knicks may
miss the man they want most,
6-foot, 6-inch AU-American
Elgin Baylor of Seattle. The
Lakers reportedly also want
Baylor.
Baylor Monday told United
Press in Seattle that he plans
to remain in college regard
less of whether he is drafted
and notwithstanding the
NCAA ban on the Chieftains
in playing in any post-season
tournaments until after Sep'
tember, 1960, or the resigna
tion Monday of Seattle coach
John Castellani.
"If I'm drafted I'll just dis
regard it," said Baylor, sec
ond highest scorer in the na
tion last season.
Most in demand by the pros
are 6-foot, 8-inch Archie Dees
of Indiana, 6-foot, 9-inch Con
nie Dierking of Cincinnati, 6
foot, 7-inch Dave Gambee of
Oregon State, 6-foot, 7-inch
Barney Cable of Bradley,
Mike Farmer of San Francis
co, Vern Hatton of Kentucky,
Red Murrell of Drake and
Jim Smith of Steubenville,
Ohio.
The 1959 all-star game was
awarded to Detroit in Mon
day's all-day meeting of the
league's board of governors.
The governors voted to give
President Maurice Podoloff,
only head of the NBA since
its founding in 1946, another
two-year contract.
Dodgers Plan
1st Night Clash
Los Angeles (IP) The Los
Angeles Dodgers rack up an
other baseball "first" here to
night in a night game with

for the Dodgers' first win of
the season against the San
Francisco Giants last Wednes
day, was slated to take the
mound against another win
ner in his first appearance,
Glenn Hobbie.
It will be the first major
league night game ever play
ed here. It gets under way at
8 p.m.
The Cubs go into the con
test fresh from taking four
out of five from the Cardinals,
while the Dodgers open the
series after getting only two
victories in their six-game set
against the Giants.
RECORD CROWD Air view of Los Angeles Coliseum as 78,672 fans watched the
Dodgers' home opener with the San Fran cisco Giants. The crowd was the largest to
witness a National League game, surpassing the old mark of 60,747. The Dodgers
