SF Hants Just Same Old
Club to Milwaukee Braves
Br FRED DOWN
United Pies Sports Writer
You'll have to excuse the
Milwaukee Braves if they
think San Francisco's "won
der boys" look suspiciously
like those same old sixth
place Giants.
The Braves had their first
look of the season at the
Giants Thursday night and
could have been playing the
New York Yankees for all the
respect they showed a team
which had won five straight
and 12 of 14 games to open
up a 2V6-game lead in the Na
tional league.
The final score was 9-3 and
the chief executioners were
Lew Burdette and Frank
Torre, a couple of fellows who
knew the Giants away back
when . . .
Burdette had been having
his troubles this season with
a 3-3 record and only two com
plete games in seven starts.
But he recognized those
Giants he was 2-0 against
them last year and 14-7 life
time with an eight-hitter
San Diego Squeezes
Portland Nine 3-2
By GENE BRYANT
United Press Sports Writer
The Seattle Rainiers, afflict
ed by a hitting drouth earlier
in the season, have apparent
ly found the Phoenix ballpark
to their liking a rare thing
in the Pacific Coast league
this year.
For the second night in a
row the Rainiers out-slugged
Phoenix at the Giants' homer
ridden ballpark to take a 15
12 victory. Gale Wade led the
onslaught with two homers, a
pair of doubles and a single,
driving in five Seattle runs.
Nine pitchers paraded to the
mound before the slugging
carnival was over.
In other games, San Diego
squeezed by Portland, 3-2, and
Vancouver made it three
straight over Spokane, 7-1, to
give the Indians sole posses
sion of the cellar. The Salt
Lake City-Sacramento contest
was rained out.
Interesting Game
Phoenix made its game
with Seattle interesting, but
a big seven-run sixth-inning
Kip, Lady,
Lobo RVRC
Champions
Kip, Lady and Lobo claimed
first place trophies in Rogue
Valley Retriever club season
competition after the fifth
and final picnic trial of the
rivalry last Sunday.
Kip, owned and handled by
Kenneth Den man took the
high point trophy in the open
stake. Lady, owned and han
dled by Otto Lilya, gained
season honors in the qualify
ing stake. Richard McKin
ley's Lobo was puppy winner.
Imp, owned and handled by
Leonard Lilya, previously had
clinched the derby.
Dogs and owners taking the
other high places in the con
tention for open stake points
were Smoke, Hillman Miller,
second; Muffin, Dr. Eugene
Meyerding, third; and Boots,
Claude Miles, fourth.
Miller's Tug was second in
the qualifying. Muffin was
third, and Eugene Hunt's Rip
took fourth. Jack Boettcher's
Skip was runner up to Imp in
the derby, while Charles
Stelle's Tally was third and
Vera Lilya's fourth.
Nick Second
Denman's Nick followed
Lobo in the puppy point-getting
and Tom Richard's Row
dy gained third. Cappy, own
ed and handled by Norton
Smith, was fourth.
Kip won the open, Muffin
the qualifying, Skip the derby
and Nick the puppy event in
last Sunday's trial. Land
series were conducted in the
Hoover lakes area and the
water series on the north side
of Rogue river in the military
bridge site. Hot weather made
it hard for dogs to work at
their best. The trial was the
last formal one of the season.
Judges were Robert Morris
and Otto Lilya, open; Ken
Denman and Tom Rickard,
qualifying; Dr. Lee Harlow
and W. V. Cavanaugh, derby,

by the Rainiers proved too
much to over come. The
Giants put on their customary
ninth-inning rally but Mario
Fricano, fourth Rainier hurl-
er, retired the last two bat
ters to end the threat with
the bases loaded.
Seattle tore into Curt Bar
clay, promising rookie pitcher
for the New York Giants last
year, with a vengeance, scor
ing a single run in the first
and five more in the second.
The Rainiers added two more
in the fourth off reliefer
Ralph Void and finished their
scoring for the night in the
seven run sixth frame.
Both clubs had 15 hits but
the Giants hit four homers to
the Rainiers' two. Tom Haller,
Willie McCovey, Joe Amal
fitano and Max Surkont hit
for the distance for Phoenix
while .Jim Dyck put one out
of the park for Seattle's other
four-bagger. Barclay was
charged with the loss, Seattle
starter Art Fowler getting the
win. '
Mounties Triumph
Vancouver scored five run
in the first two innings at Spo
kane and coasted the rest of
the way for an easy win. The
victory gave the Mounties a
one-and-a-half game lead over
second place Phoenix. Barry
Shetrone led the winners with
three for four and Joe Frazier
chipped in with a solo homer.
Russ Heman went the distance
for the win;
At San Diego, back-to-back
doubles by Dave Pope and
Earl Averill gave the Padres
their first victory in the cur
rent series with Portland.
Gary Bell picked up the win,
his sixth against two defeats,
while Al Lary suffered his
second loss. George Freese
homered for the Beavers.
Look Says Stilt
Will Barnstorm
New York (IP) Look maga
zine said today in a copyright
ed article that Wilt (The Stilt)
Chamberlain, A 1 1 - America
center at Kansas University,
will quit college basketball to
begin a 160-game barnstorm
ing tour that will gross $250,
000. Chamberlain plans to form
his own barnstorming troupe
that will be made up of 10
white and 10 Negro players,
according to the magazine.
The tour is expected to start
early during the next basket
ball season.
The seven-foot Negro star
from Philadelphia has another
season of eligibility' remaining
at Kansas. However, he main
tained in the article that the
brand of college basketball
played there "was hurting my
chances of ever developing
into a successful professional
player."
The Distinguished Service
Medal was created in 1918.
that gave him his fourth win.
He had five at the same stage
of last season.
Torre Tees Off
Torree, who hit three of his
season total of five homers
against the Giants last season,
also recognized old friends in
new uniforms. He knocked in
five runs, three with his first
homer of the year, one with a
sacrifice fly and another when
he drew one of relief pitcher
Stu Miller's two bases-filled
walks in the midst of a three
run second-inning rally.
In fact, the only Giant to
give the Braves much trouble
was a felolw they never saw
before: rookie-of-the-year can
didate Orlando Cepeda, who
had three hits including a
two-run homer in the sixth
inning. It was Cepeda's 12th
one less than NL leader
Frank Thomas of the Pitts
burgh Pirates.
The victory left the Braves
a game and a half behind the
Giants but they're right on the
1957 schedule which carried
them to a world champion
ship. They had an identical
19-11 record after 30 games
last season and trailed the
first-place Cincinnati Redlegs
by two games.
Ernie Banks knocked in
four runs with his eighth
homer and two doubles to
lead the Chicago Cubs to a
7-4 victory over the Phila
delphia Phillies in the only
other NL game. Moe Drabow
sky went 7 13 innings to win
his second game while 1957
NL rookie of the year Jack
Sanford suffered his fourth
loss.
Yanks Off and Running
The runaway Yankees roll
ed to their ninth straight win
and stretched their American
league lead to an incredible
8V2 games for this stage of a
pennant race when they edged
out the Detroit Tigers, 5-4.
Rookie Marv Thorneberry's
ninth-inning homer enabled
Ryne Duren, who struck out
five batters and yielded only
a pinch homer to Gus Zernial
in three innings, to win his
first major league game. The
Yankees have won 13 of then
last 15, 15 of their last 17 and
22 of 27 for the season.
The Boston Red Sox whip
ped the Kansas City Athletics,
8-5, the Cleveland Indians
beat the Washington Senators,
3-1, and the Chicago White
Sox scored a 5-1 triumph over
the Baltimore Orioles in other
A.L. activity.
Ted Williams slammed his
16th grand slam homer of his
career, high among active
players, and Ted Lepcio also
homored as the Red Sox
scored their sixth victory in
eight games.
Rookie Jim (Mudcat) Grant
won his fourth game for the
Indians when they snapped
a 1-1 tie with two eighth-
inning tallies.
A crowd of only 632 small
est at Chicago's Comisky
Park in 15 years saw Jim
Wilson scatter nine hits to win
his fourth game for the White
Sox.

Del Norte, Crater
Splat Double IBiDD
Crater high of Central Point
closed out its 1958 baseball
season a winning note yester
day but had to be content
with the second game of a
doubleheader. And it took a
last ditch splurge in the third
extra inning of the final tus
sel to accomplish the decision
at Cheney field.
Del Norte of Crescent City,
Calif., shellacked the Comets
12 to 0 in the opening engage
ment. Score favored Crater
8 to 7 in the second.
Outfielder Drew Roberts
paced the 16-hit attack that
took the California visitors to
their ' lopsided victory- He
smacked a home run with
three aboard plus a double
and a single in three times up
and batted in a total of seven
runs. Kenny Mattz doubled
and had two singles in four
trips to the plate and Dan Sou
sa, Bill Sullivan, Bill Richard
son and Bob Bales each had
two safe blows.
Crater got only two hits in
the battle, both off Del Ger
main, who was relieved by
Joe , Taylor after - yielding
three straight walks in the
fourth inning.
Neet Drives in Run
Dave Neet single with two
out in the eighth inning to
drive home the winning run
in the wrap-up conflict which
had been billed for five
frames.
The Comets grabbed a 5 to
0 lead in the concluder with
that many markers in the sec
ond inning but the Califor
nians caught up by the fifth
inning. Sixth and seventh
panels were scoreless al
though both threatened in the
seventh. In the top of the
eighth Del Norte pushed
ahead 7 to 5 on singles by
Roberts and Tony Gross, two
errors and two stolen bases.
.. In the Comets' eighth in
ning batting turn Dennis
Pfaff drew a base on balls and
Dave Brown singled off Bill
Richardson. Taylor, who had
finished out the first hassle,
took over the hill. Jerry Kor
bel plunked a bunt fly single
to load the bags. Pfaff tallied
after a flyout by Wayne Al
len. Taylor pitched carefully
to Bob Fowler who finally
drew a base on balls. Thur
man Striplin flied out and
Brown romped home to tie
up the game.
Brian Sewell was walked
to fill the sacks once more.
Then Neet popped a short fly
safely into right field and
Korber crossed the plate for
the triumph.
Campbell Three Hils " '
One-base blows by Randy
Campbell and Pfaff, a two
bagger by Striplin, two
walks, two hit batters, a pass
ed ball and a wild pitch were
ingredients in the Crater five
run canto.
Campbell had three safe
blows in four batting turns
while Korbol and Neet each
had two hits in the Comets'
10-blow offense. For the Cres
cent City team Roberts kept
his pace with three clouts, a
double and two singles for a
