Few P 20-SaEi By STEVE SNIDER Uniled Press Sporls Writer New York HP) Who'll win 20? Twenty game winners are rare birds in the major leagues these days but in '58 as in '43 the bet bet is Warren Spahn of the world champion Milwaukee Braves. The winningest left-hander in National league history, Frick Asks for Foul Line Distance Ruie New York (IP) The major leagues' two newest ball parks in California will live up to the "anti - cheap - home - run" rule proposed by Commission er Ford Frick, the Dodgers and Giants promised today. Frick, who insists he isn't inspired by the criticism heap ed on the Dodgers' 250-foot fence in the Los Angeles Coli seum, said Monday he is ask ing for a rule that foul lines in newly built ball parks must DRIVE AGAINST ALCOHOL Budapest HP The Hun garian Parliament will have to take legal steps to "reduce the epidemic of alcoholism," the newspaper Hetfoei Hirek said today. The newspaper said the health of some 300, 000 Hungarians has been "badly affected", by drinking. FOUNDER DIES Darien, Conn. (IP) Walter E.

Bob Friend of the Pirates, Jack Harshman of the Orioles, Johnny Podres of the Dodgers be at least 325 feet long and the center field fence must be at least 400 feet from home plate. "There is merit in Mr. Frick's proposal," said Walter O'Malley, president of the Dodgers in Los Angeles. "A good idea," commented Charles (Chub) Feeney, vice president of the Giants in San Francisco. The reaction of the two California team officials was vital, since these clubs un doubtedly will be building the next new parks in the majors the Dodgers in Chavez Ra vine at Los Angeles, if the plan is approved in a refer endum vote, and the Giants at Candlestick Point, where con struction already is under way. "The proposed Dodger sta dium in Chavez Ravine, which was planned long before this announcement, will exceed those minimums," said O'Mal ley. Feeney said, "Our new park plans calls for 325 feet at the foul lines, 420 feet in deep center." Frick's proposed rule, would apply only to new stadiums. Must Go! Now . . . Save! Wednesday Only!

Boser Named to Hockey Al!-Star Club 3rd Time New York (W Johnny Boser, Cleveland Barons goalie, today was named the American Hockey League's "most valuable player" for the third straight time, becoming the first professional star to win an M.V.P. award in three consecutive seasons. Bower, who twice refused offers to return to the Nation al Hockey League during the 1957-58 campaign, received 25 of a possible 30 points in vot ing by sports writers and broadcasters in the six AHL cities. Bower once played for the New York Rangers. Both the Boston Bruins and Toron to Maple Leafs tried to get him to return to the NHL last season. Bower, 32, a native of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, pro duced his finest season dur ing 1957-58. He allowed only 140 goals for an average of 2.19 per game. It was the low est compiled in the AHL in 19 years. Willie Marshall and Dune Fisher of the Bears, who fin ished 1-2 in the AHL scor ing race last season, wound up second and third in the voting. There are about 1,850 farm ers mutual fire insurance companies in the U.S., ac cording to the Department of Agriculture figures. itn ly in their quest to repeat as members of the 20-victory club. Pierce dropped his first two, one when his mates were shut out by Cleveland's Herb Score, and Bunning lost three in a row after winning the season's opener. Among others who won their first four, Friend prob ably has the best chance of pushing his total to 20. Both Podres and Harshman have been plagued with back ail ments but Friend is the kind of rubber - armed workman the job requires. Both last year and the year before he led the National league in to tal innings pitched. Elston is strictly a reliever. Bob Turley of the Yankees, who won his first three, also is the power-type who could reach 20 and make it the first of his career. In three starts, he allowed just one run in 27 innings and included in his streak a one-hitter against Baltimore. Subject to Whims In Turley's case, however, the whims of Manager Casey Stengel must be counted. Ca sey has enough quantity on his staff to keep Turley on the bench except when the odds are all in Bullet Bob's favor. Ned Garver of the Athle tics, Bob Purkey of Cincin nati and rookie Jim Grant of the Indians all won their first three. Purkey, a fine pitcher picked up from the Pirates, could go all the way with the kind of hitting Cincy can give him. The others are risks because of their age Grant being young and Garver an oldie in his 11th big league season. Ned won only six last season. Others to watch: Ray Nar lesi of the Indians, Dave Sis ler of the Red Sox, Bob Buhl of the Braves, Don Larsen of the Yankees. Koufax Makes Season's First Start Tonight By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (IP) The youthful Sandy Koufax makes his first start of the season for the Dodgers to night against the Phillies who called on the rookie sensation of last year, Jack Sanford, in hopes he can get them a sec ond victory against Los An geles. Sanford, who is 2-2 thus far this year, -had a 19-9 victory record in his freshman season as a major league pitcher. The Phillies used a current rookie hurler, Roman Sem proch, to score their 8-3 win Monday night and nip the Dodgers' win streak at two games. But it was the stick work of infielder Granny Hamner that spelled defeat for Los Angeles as much as Sem proch's hurling. Indians Sell Two Hurlers To Coast Clubs Cleveland, Ohio HP) The Cleveland Indians' mound staff was reduced to 10 today following sale of relief hurl er Steve Ridzik and Clarence Churn to Pacific Coast League clubs. Ridzik, a righthander, was sold to the Indians' San Diego farm club. He had worked in six games for an earned run average of 2.08 since his pur chase April 8 from Phoenix. Churn, a 27-year-old right handed sidearm flinger, was sold to Seattle. The Tribe ob tained him on waivers from Boston. He worked 7 and 23 innings in five games for an earned run average of 7.04. Churn failed with the Pi rates last season and was ship ped to Hollywood where he had a 9-7 record. 0& &a If 1 ii I If B ft IUS IT m VU1 fifUti 1,3 More people come to HFC for money help 2,000,000 families a year borrow confidently from HFC.
