New York (IP) The major

the "anti - cheap - home - run"
rule proposed by Commission

and Giants promised today.
Frick, who insists he isn't
inspired by the criticism heap

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.

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

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.
