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.

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-

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.

PCC Officials Postpone
Thorny Rose Bowl Matter
Portland, Ore. 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.
