Don Larsen Gets Back at -Orioles
With 3 to 0 Verdict for Yankees
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Don (Perfect Game) Larsen
was a prefect example today
of an ungrateful group of big
leaguers who did a classic job
of breaking their former em
ployers' hearts.
Most everyone likes to tell
his old boss where to head in,
but it must have been open
season Tuesday on biting-the-hand-that-once-fed-you
in the
majors.
Larson was the ringleader.
He - got back at his former
Baltimore teammates in per
fect style while pitching and
batting the first-place- Yan
kees to a 3-0 victory.
Big Don broke a scoreless
tie with a fifth-inning homer
off Connie Johnson and then
proceeded to spin a four-hit
shutout. He has now pitched
23 consecutive scoreless in
nings this season while win
ning three games.

But Larsen was only one of
many who struck back at his
Patterson May
Get Ultimatum
New York (IP) Julius Hel
fand said today the World
Championship Boxing commit
tee will take "definite action"
on the heavyweight situation
late this month.
Helfand, chairman of the
New York State Athletic com
mission and president of the
committee, will fly to Paris
May 25 and preside at the
committee meeting there May
28-30.
Jus what ultimatum to be
given champion Floyd Patter
son will be decided by the
committee, Helfand said.
Young Floyd hasn't defended
his crown since last Aug. 22,
when he knocked out amateur
Pete Rademacher in the sixth
round at Seattle.
Cus D'Amato, Patterson's
manager, declared today, "If
the World committee or any
other organization tries to
force us into a fight with an
opponent who may have any
connection with the Interna
tional Boxing club no matter
how indirect we will chal
lenge the committee's action
in court."
Musial Slaps Out 3,000 Hit
Aims for All-Time NL Record
By ED SAINSBURY
United Press Sports Writer
Chicago (IP) Stan Musial's
baseball goal was 431 hitsdis
tant today, but his anticipated
tenure as a baseball player
covered another two years, so
he might become the leading
batter in National league his
tory. Musial, 37, smacked his
0 3,009th major league hit Tues
day, a double, as the key
punch of a four-run St. Louis
Cardinal inning to produce a
5-3 win ove rthe Chicago
Cubs.
And while he was pleased
at No. 3,000, he had no pre
tensions toward No. 4,000 un
less "it just comes naturally,"
toe way he swings a bat.
"I'd .like to get more hits
than any . other National
4eague player," Musial said,
"and I figure I'll play a couple

ex-employer Tuesday. Here
are some of the others:
Don Gross of the Pirates
pitched three hitlees relief in
nings and ran his scoreless
string to 14 23 innings in
helping Pittsburgh beat his
one - time Cincinnati team
mates, 6-3.
Ted Kluszewski, another
former Redleg, drove in two
of the Pirates' runs with a
double and a single.
Jackie Jensen and Pete
Runnels, each of whom once
wore Washington flannels,
crashed out three hits apiece
as the Red Sox broke a four
game losing streak with a 9-6
win over the Senators. Jensen
included a grand-slam homer.
Gross came to the aid of
winner Ronnie Kline in the
seventh inning and promptly
struck out the side. The Pi
rates recorded their fifth
straight triumph in beating
Brooks Lawrence. Bill Maze
roski hit his fifth homer.
The hitting of Jensen and
Runnels made it a happy 29th
birthday for rookie southpaw
Bob Riverboat Smith, who
was credited with Boston's
victory although Ike Delock
had to bail him out in the
ninth after Neil Chrisley hit
his fourth homer in his last
four games. Pedro Ramos,
long-time Red Sox nemesis,
was the loser.
San Francisco smashed out
26 hits to crush Los Angeles,
16-9, and take over the Na
tional League lead.
Some of the statistics of
the game made it seem the
teams were using a tennis
ball. Willie Mays hammered
two homers, two triples and
a single to boost his average
to .427. Daryl Spencer had
two homers, a triple and a
double; Orlando Cepeda had
a homer and three singles
while- Danny O'Connell and
Bob Schmidt also had four
hits apiece. For the last-place
Dodgers, Charley Neal clouted
two homers and Carl Furillo
and Gil Hodges one apiece.
Red Worthington was the
winner and Fred Kipp the
loser.
It was the dazed Dodgers'
last game in the Coliseum un
til June 3 and none of them
seemed to mind terribly.
Stan Musial's 3,000th major
of more years. I donH mean
two years exactly because I'll
play as long as I can hit well
over .300."
The player with the most
hits in the National League
was the late Honus Wagner,
who has 3,430, while Paul Wa-
ner was second with 3,151.
Musial, who has 43 hits al
ready this season, needs to add
only 152 to surpass Waner and
he could do that this season,
since it would require him to
get only 195 hits for the sea
son. He has exceeded that
figure seven times in 15 years
and tied it one other season.
Both Musial and manager
Fred Hutchinson would have
preferred the 3,000th hit in
their home park. Thus Hutch
inson benched Musial for
Tuesday's game, but planned
to use him as a pinch hitter if
it might "be necessary to win.
It became necessary with

league hit was a pinch double
in the sixth inning that
sparked the Cardinals to a
5-3 decision over the Cubs.
Musial's long - cherished hit
paced the Cards to their sixth
straight win and helped ex
tend the Cubs' losing streak
to seven games. Musial thus
became the eighth major
leaguer ever to attain 3,000
hits. Sam Jones was the win
ning pitcher as the result of
St. Louis' four-run rally in
the sixth. Lee Walls hit his
10th homer for Chicago.
Phillies Mark Set
Robin Roberts also reached
an important , milestone in
hurling the Phillies to a 5-2
victory over the Braves. In
snapping Milwaukee's seven
game winning streak and
knocking the Braves out of
first place, Roberts achieved
the 191st victory of his ca
reer with the Phils more
wins than any other Phillies
pitcher ever recorded Grover
Cleveland Alexander held the
previous record of 190.
It also marked the first
time the Phillies beat Bob
Buhl since June 12, 1956.

Oregon State College, Cor
vallis Since Tommy Prothro

come up with outstanding

who could hold their own in
any company.
First there was ail-American
John Witte, followed by
Dave Jesmer, one of the he
roes of the last East-West
shrine game, and now versa
tile Ted Bates is ready for a
great senior year ahead.
But one of the most promis

ently a freshman, is Big Neil
Plumley from Medf ord. If
Plumley lives up to Prothro's
expectations, the southern
Oregon a'thlete is destined to
become one of the better col
lege tackles of America.
Prothro pulls no stops when
he raves about Plumley.
"He's one of $he finest pros
pects we've had since I've
been at Oregon State. Neil is
young now, but when he ma
tures I believe he will be one
of the better college tackles in
the nation."

to surpass the 50-foot mark
this spring, and eventually
will go after the all-time Bea

A fine physical specimen,
Plumley also is an arduous
worker and interested student
of Prothro's single wing foot
ball. He's fairly quick for his
size and is fast learning the
art, of both offense and de
fense. Another Medford star, Dick
McLaughlin, too has made
progress in spring drills. Dick
is a center, like Plumley a
