(International) I Pennant Baseball i f I lo f LA Dodgers Really Miss Campanella By STEVE SNIDER New York (IP) Roy Camp anella, in a discourse on the art of catching shortly before his tragic accident, probably put his finger exactly on what's wrong with the eight place Los Angeles Dodgers. Briefly, those battered Dod ger pitchers really miss their shrewd old catcher. "Old catchers," opined the 36-year-old Campanella dur ing a gabfest in happier days last winter, "will always be better than young catchers be cause they, know how to han dle the pitchers." With Campy paralyzed by injuries received in an auto accident, the Dodgers are us ing comparatively young catchers as replacements . for the old one who won't be around any more. And Dod ger pitching hasn't been worse in at least a dozen years. . Since these are the same pitchers who led the National league in .efficiency only last season, it may be logical to conclude Campy had some thing to do with it not so much for his bat as for his shrewd "quarterbacking" be hind the plate. ' Go With Rookies The Dodgers, unable to trade for a new catcher, have been going with rookies John Roseboro and Joe Pignatano plus 32-year-old Rube Walker, a 10-year man who has play ed, on the average,' roughly a third of each season since he has been up. Roseboro is 25, Pignatano 28. Both were at Montreal at least part of last season. Roseboro, the only one of the three who has shown an inclination to hit, is the bus iest, too. He caught 13 games and shared the duties in three others of the first 31 games. Walker caught eight and shared two while Pignatano caught six and shared one. The flounderings of the Dodgers have been explained away -by Walter O'Malley and Buzz Bavasi as stage-fright in the unaccustomed Coliseum, pressing too hard to make good in their new surround ings and partly because "Campy isn't with us this year." All those factors, plus Duke Snider's gimpy knee, un doubtedly account for the tumble that made the Dodgers cellar-dwellers. Region Softball Playoff Billed Portland (W The Ore gon State men's softball reg ional playoffs will be held at Coos Bay Aug. 15-19. PLAYOFF GAME SET New York (IP) Delaware and Lafayette will meet in a single playoff game before next Monday to decide the Middle Atlantic Conference's representative in the District 2 NCAA baseball champion ships, it was announced today. PLANER BLOX Clean Quick Delivery Medford Fuel Go. 1 Ward Car Hits Wall During Test Indianapolis (IP Mech anics began work today on the smashed auto of Roger Ward of Los Angeles and said they would have it repaired in time for the Memorial Day 500-mile race at Indianapolis Speedway. The 37-year-old driver was shaken but unhurt Tuesday when his auto smashed into the wall during a fuel test run. Ward, who qualified for his eighth straight "500" Satur day, said the throttle stuck as he entered the . southeast turn of the Vi-mile oval. Although the tail of the car was badly damaged, the working parts apparently were all right mechanics said. At the time of the accident, Ward was hitting about 138 miles per hour. Ward was involved in the 1955 accident in which Bill Vukovich was killed in try ing for his third straight "500" victory. Ward suffered only a nose cut, although his auto flipped over several times. Christie's Time Boosted Only a few other drivers beside Ward were on the track Tuesday as most crews worked on their cars in the garage area. But Paul Russo opened up his powerful Novi for a couple laps, hitting 145 miles per hour, during a fuel test run for the fastest time of the day on the oval. Russo qualified last Saturday in the eight-cylinder Novi at 142.959 miles per hour. Meanwhile, Bob Christie of Grants Pass, Ore., received a boost in his qualification time, following a disputed "five lap" time run. Christie had been credited with a run of 141.900 but of ficials decided he had signed to start his qualificatiton a lap before the official laps actually started. Thus, they threw out the last lap, Chris tie's slowest, and added a first lap of 142.857 to give him an average of 152.253 for the 10-mile test." Christie had been the slow est qualifier, but the change lifted him above several oth er drivers although it made no difference in his starting position. Braves Top Solons; End Loss Streak By UNITED PRESS Nothing was wrong with the Tri-City Braves of the North west league that a little pitch ing couldn't curt. Jim Vogelsang had the pre scription Tuesday night that ended the- Braves" losing streak miseries as he 6-hit the Salem Senators for a 10-2 Tri City victory. Len Lindborg was the big gun for the Braves with a dou ble and a homer good for four runs driven in. His homer was the seventh of the season and came with two on in the sixth inning. Yakima also got a good hurl ing job from Charlie Beene to top Eugene 3-1. Beene spaced seven hits and was scqred on only in the second on a walk and singles by Jug -Harrison and Ron Mancasola. Iced in Seventh Yakima scored one run in the same inning and then iced it with two more in the seventh. Wenatchee gained on first- place Lewiston with a 11-in-ning 9-8 triumph over the Broncs. The Chiefs won it in the second extra frame when Elio Toboso doubled and came across on another double by Charlie Tulner. Toboso wielded a big stick for the Chiefs with four hits in four trips. His barrage in cluded three doubles and a single. Arnie Hallgren belted a two-run homer for Lewiston in the eighth to tie the score and set the stage for We- natchee's 11th inning clincher, Harness Racing Great Succombs Orlando, Fla. OP) Ben White, 85, one of the all-time j great harness racing drivers, ! died Tuesday. White, who had 1 been in failing health for ! months, was the only man to win four Hambletonians, the famous race for three-year-old trotters. Road HUGHES & Phone SP Phoenix Eyes 10th Consecutive in PCL; Portland Tips Pads By GENE BRYANT ' United Press Sports Wirter The red-hot Phoenix Giants will go after their 10th straight victory tonight in an attempt to shake off the , persistent Vancouver Mounties in what has temporarily narrowed down to a two-team scramble for first place in the Pacific Coast League pennant race. The Giants edged Seattle, 7-6, Tuesday night for their ninth win in a row, but the mounties scored five runs in the ninth inning for an 8-6 vic tory over Spokane to remain only a half game behind the Arizonans. Salt Lake City dropped a 9-9 decision to Sacramento and Portland broke its seven-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over San Diego in other games. The Bees' loss left them two-and-one-half games behind front-running Phoenix, follow ed by the Padres, now four games out of first. Costly Walk Seattle had scored three runs in the eighth to tie it at 6-6 before the Giants scored the winning run in their half of the inning, when Rainier re liefer Marty Kutyna walked Andre Rogers with the bases full. Loop May Strengthen Duster Rule Cincinnati, Ohio (IP) Na tional league restrictions against the use of the so called "dusters" may be strengthened, according to League President Warren Giles. Giles revealed that the cur rent rule is under study when the announced receipt of a telegram from Manager Fred Haney of . the Milwaukee Braves. Haney's telegram de nied that he had questioned Giles' personal bravery or in tegrity but added, "The um pires are not enforcing the rule as it should be and the league president should do something about it." "Haney told me this in two different conversations," said Giles. "He and other man agers may be assured that the rule will be strictly enforced. The rule itself may need some change and we are studying that possibility now." Under present rules, the umpires can eject a pitcher from a game if he thinks the pitcher is deliberately throw ing "dusters." The Giles-Haney exchange grew out of last Friday night's Braves-Redlegs game in which Cincinnati pitchers hit three batsmen. Ducks Take Full Game Lead in ND Seattle (IP) Oregon's Ducks, with their star bat tery in top form, handed Washington a 9-2 defeat on Tuesday to end a six-game road trip with a 4-2 mark and a full game lead in the North ern Division baseball race. Lefty Don Lane, who pitch ed a no-hitter against Idaho earlier, held Washington to seven hits while his battery mate, Ellis Olson pounded out four singles. Oregon now is 9-3, compar ed to 8-4 for Washington St. and Oregon State. The Ducks jumped off for two runs in the first inning and scored two more, includ ing the eventual winning run in the third frame. The Ducks added two more in the fifth, another pair in the eighth and finished up with one run in the ninth. A peak in Alberta, Canada, ish named Mt. Eisenhower.

At Spokane, Vancouver trailed the Indians until the final inning when the Moun ties erupted for five runs on five hits, a walk and error. Joe Durham tripled and Jim Bridewester and Charlie White doubled in the ninth inning uprising. The Indians had taken a 3-0 lead in the fourth, then added two more runs in the fifth and a single tally in the eighth be fore the Mounties got to starter Connie Grob in the last two frames. Heist Gets 5 RBI's Outfielder Al Heist drove in five runs on a double and two singles to lead Sacramento to its win over Salt Lake. Heist tied the free-scoring game at 5-5 in the fourth with a two run single, gave the Solons a 7-5 edge in the fifth with an other single and capped his performance with a run-scoring double in the seventh that provided the Sacs with their winning run. Reliefer Marshall Bridges was credited with the win, his fourth against two losses. Dick Stuart collected his 14th homer for the losers and the PCL's top batter, Carlos Bernier, stretched his hitting streak to 27 games. Nini Tornay smashed a solo four-bagger, in the , eighth frame at San Diego to give the Beavers their first victory in over a week. Elmer Singleton gained the win, his fourth against one defeat.

OP! The Pa cific Coast Conference ad journed its abbreviated spring meeting Tuesday in an air of amiability but the thorny Rose Bowl problem never came up. PCC officials, scheduled to meet through today, trimmed the session to two days and postponed discussion of the Rose Bowl and the 1959-60 basketball schedule until the next meeting in Pasadena, Calif., in December. A PCC spokesman indicat ed Monday that California, Southern California and UCLA would lose their right to play in the Rose Bowl, plus any share of the profits from the big annual classic after 1959. The three schools have an nounced they are pulling out of the PCC as of July 1 next year. Although the Rose .Bowl question was postponed, con ference officials did take the following action: Changed the distribution of television receipts in na tional and regional sports con tests. In a national game, the competing teams split the re ceipts in half. The PCC team take was boosted to 40 pe cent from 30 per cent and the remainder will be divided among the rest of the confer ence except Idaho, which gets 5 per cent. In regional games, the competing team's receipts were increased from 50 to 70 per cent. Left the rules on recruit ing practices unchanged. Withheld the application for a new football one-arm block rule ior one year for "further study." Bernard Hammerbeck, PCC assistant commissioner, said the matter was referred to the NCAA District 8 rules committee with a request to bring it be fore the NCAA. Changed spring football rulings to bring the PCC rule "in line" with the NCAA. The new rule reads that there will be 20 practices in 36 days ex cluding vacation and exami nation periods instead of 20 practices in 30 consecutive calendar days." Returned to an old trans fer rule which provides that an athlete may transfer from one PCC school to another with loss of only one year of eligibility. Granted 1958 football eli gibility to Roy Stephen of Stanford and 1959 track eligi bility to Monte Upshaw of California. SPECIAL Assorted LURES ' Wobblers, Spinners Bobbers Values to $1.25 29 ea.
