Willie, who has been out of action since March 12 be cause of a leg cut that requir ed 35 stitches, was his old self Sunday during the Giants' pre-game workout at Phoenix, Ariz. Even Manager Bill Rigney was surprised when Willie showed up at Municipal stad ium all suited up and ready to play. With an "ok" from his doctor already secured, Mays warmed up with a few wind sprints in the outfield. "There's no pain," he beam ed to reporters standing -by, And just to prove that the layoff hadn't hurt him one bit, he stepped into the batting cage and rattled a dozen or so smashes over the left field fence. With his teammates rooting him on, Mays said "I'll be in shape before the season starts. "Don't forget, we have 16 more pre-season games after today," the $80,000 a year star reminded, "if I play in half of them which is a cinch I'll be in condition, don't you worry." Giants Beat Cubs The enthusiasm engendered by Mays' lusty hitting carried over as the Giants backed up some solid pitching by lefty Mike McCormick with timely hitting for a 10-7 cactus league victory over the Chicago Cubs. Felipe Alou, with a pair of homers and four runs batted In, spearheaded the attack on a trio of Chicago pitchers. Jim Marshall, rookie Ray Bellio and Ernie Banks pro pelled homers for the Cubs while Andre Rodgers hit an- A 1 J T ft ' J . omer ior me uianis. Meanwhile, a long bus ride away at Tucson, the Cleveland Indians learned that big Mike Garcia, who is attempting a comeback after a poor 1958 showing, will be lost to them for at least a week with a leg injury. Mike, who took over in the sixth, was hit just inside the left knee with a Cards Bust LA String Bradenton, Fla. - lUPD -The Los Angeles Dodgers, their string of six victories broken, went against the Milwaukee Braves today in a Grapefruit league exhibition game. Reliefers Clem Labine, Don Bessant and Johnny Klippstein were selected by the Californians to take the mound against the Braves, Lew Burdette. The Dodgers slammed out seven hits against two St. Louis Cardinals' rookie pit chers at St. - Petersburg Sunday against three hits for the Cards, but the Dodgers lost 3-1 anyway. Two wild pitches by 27- year-old Gene Snyder, a Spo kane southpaw farmhand, and a throwing error by Norm Larker combined to help the Cardinals rack up two tallies in the second inning - enough to win the game. Grounder Rolls By Snyder gave up the Cards' other run, in the fourth frame, when Junior Gilliam let Joe Cunningham 's grounder roll by him and Cunningham scored. The Dodgers got their only run in the same inning when hurler Bob Gibson walked John Roseboro and Rip Re pulski singled him home. Rookie Howard Nunn and veteran Marv Grissom also pitched for the Cards. Snyder gave up the mound after the fifth and Fred Kipp and Phil Paine took over the Dodger hurling chores to hold the Cards to only one hit in the last four frames. LASSIE WINS AGAIN Hollywood -(UPD-A cat and a dog shared honors as the top animal movie and televi sion actors of 1958. Award winning Lassie, a long-haired dog of the television series carrying his name, was hon ored for the second straight year as the best animal per former on TV by the Ameri can Humane Association at its annual "Patsy" awards program Saturday. Pyewack et, the scene-stealing cat in the movie "Bell, Book and Candle," was named the top animal film actor.

Garcia crumpled to the ground and was carried off on a stretcher. X-rays at St. Mary's hospital showed only a deep bruise-no break. Er ratic play by the Red Sox helped the Indians to three unearned runs and the Tribe went on to score a 7-5 victory. Williams Has Cold Ted Williams was schedul ed to make his Arizona debut in this game but was confined to his hotel room with a cold in his right shoulder. He re portedly was having some dif ficulty breathing. The injury jinx also hit the Washington Senators, who dropped an 11-2 decision to the Kansas City Athletics at West Palm Beach, Fla. The game was called after eight innings because of rain. Just before the game, the Senators learned that catcher Clint Courtney will be side lined from four to six weeks with a brok4n bone in his right leg. Courtney was injur ed Saturday in a collision with Kansas City catcher Hal Smith at home plate. At the time it was believed that Courtney had suffered only a bruise but x-rays later show ed that a small bone below the knee was broken. Smith was the A's big stick man with a pair of homers and four RBI's. Rookie first base man Kent Handley and out fielder Roger Maris also hom ered for the winners. Yankees Lose Two The Baltimore Orioles en joyed a rare day-for them when they handed the New York Yankees a double de-feat-6-3 and 4-0. Milt Pappas, a 19-year-old Baltimore phee nom, pitched six of the seven scoreless innings of the night cap after Jerry Walker and Jack Fisher, a pair of 20-year olds, had throttled the world champions on nine scattered hits in the opener. Elsewhere, a six-run rally in the seventh Inning, featur ed by Dick Schofield's three- run homer, carried the Pitts burgh Pirates to a 9-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The Chicago White Sox scorr ed early and late to turn back the Cincinnati Reds and prize rookie Jimmy O'Toole, 9-6. The Detroit Tigers jumped off to a 9-0 lead in four in nings and went on to defeat the Milwaukee Braves, 10-4 . . . and rookie pitcher Bob Gibson and 19-year old rookie shortstop Julio Gotay led the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

McAndrcws Phone SP 3-4575 or SP 2-4107 Walt Alston Won't Predict on (This is the fifth dispatch on the prospects of the ma jor league clubs for 1959). By LEO PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Vero Beach, Fla. (UPD- Last year at this time, Walter Al ston was talking pennant for the Los Angeles Dodgers, con fidently predicting they would beat the Milwaukee Braves. They beat the Braves, all right, but hardly anybody else and finished seventh. "Everything went wrong," said Alston. "So this spring I'm not predicting anything." Told that a lot of other man agers in the league class the Dodgers as contenders, he just shrugged his shoulders and said he hoped they're right. "But don't say I said we are going to be contenders," he delcared emphatically. He did maKe it plain that he didn't blame the trick ball park in Los Angeles for the Dodgers' debacle last season. "We just played lousy ball, at home and away," he point ed out. "The only thing we could do right was when we were playing Milwaukee." The Dodgers beat the pennant- winners 14 times while los ing only eight. He conceded there were hopeful signs for 1959, how ever. Young Pitching Staff Among them are his young pitching staff, an added year's experience for catcher John Roseboro, the fact that Gil Hodgers doesn't figure to have two bad years in a row, and the possibility Duke Snider's bat will start blasting again. The Duke, bothered by a bad knee, hit .312 last season, but it wasn't a typical Snider year. Instead of the usual 40- or-so homers he hits every years, driving in 100 or more runs, he had only 15 homers with 58 RBI's. Snider will be in centerfield with the veteran Carl Furillo, who is 33, in right. Left field is up for grabs. Alston may platoon Wally Moon, the southpaw swinger obtained from the Cardinals, and Rip Repulski, the ex-Phillie who bats from the right side. There also is a chance that Jim Gentile, although he hit only .249 at Spokane, or Norm Lar ker, who batted .277 in 99 games for the Dodgers, can take over first base, freeing Hodges for left field. Hodges really dropped off last season, hitting only .259 with 22 home runs with 64 runs batted in. Gil will be 35 in April, but other managers concede that he's as good as they come at first base. Second Base Filled Jim Gilliam, ticketed for third, also can play left-if Bob Lillis, who hit .391 in 20 games for Los Angeles late last season after they brought him up from St. Paul, can win the shortstop berth. That would leave Don Zimmer, last year's regular shortstop, or Dick Gray, who hits a long ball, but not very often, to take over third. Thus the only infield posi tion that is set is Charley Neal at second base. There isn't a club in the league which wouldn't like to have him al though he slumped along with the rest of the Dodgers last season and fell to a .254 av erage. Roseboro, whom most base ball men feel has a chance to become one of the league's Legislature Fund For Leaders Asked Salem - (UPD - Authorization for expenditure of not more than $2,000 by the president of the Senate and speaker of the House to cover incidental expenses incurred during and between legislative sessions is contained in a resolution introduced by the Joint Ways and Means committee today. It was the first time any attempt has been made to pro vide expense money for the two top legislative officials. 4& n n p n n STORES 214 South Riverside Ave. Phone SP 2-7119 03 I Dodgers top hitters, will be the No. 1 catcher with Joe Pipnatano, an accomplished receiver but weak hitter, in reserve. Pitching could be the Dodg ers' forte. They have the pos sibilities. They is Don Drysdale, the fast-balling right hander who lost his first seven games last year and still wound up with a 12-13 mark; Johnny Podres, the left-handed change of pace artist with a 13-15 record; southpaw Sandy Koufax, who was 7-3 in 1958 before he hurt his ankle and wound up 11-11; Stan Williams, a young right-hander who won nine while losing seven, and Bob Giallombardo, a 12-game win ner at Montreal. Koufax and Williams can throw the ball as fast as almost anyone Better Finish Predicted Possible starters also in clude the veteran Carl Ers kine (4-4); Fred Kipp (6-6) and lanky Roger Craig, back for another shot although he won only five while losing 17 at St. Paul. Clem Labine (6-6), Don Bessent (1-0) and Danny Mc Devitt (2-6) with the Dodgers and 9-4 with St. Paul figure to form the bullpen brigade. Put them all together, and if hurlers like Drysdale can forget that short left field fence, the Dodgers could come up with the best pitching in the league. They don't look like a seventh place club and aren't likely to finish that low again in 1959 DANISH GYM TEAM jjgBro r$ DON'T DELAY... DRIVE BIG TRADE-INS!
