Cepeda, Lollar Blast (Giants,
White Sox Onto League Heads
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
The potent bats of Orlando
Cepeda and Sherman Lollar
have the unbeaten San Fran
cisco Giants and . Chicago
White Sox off and running
today in starts that take the
edge off perfect get-aways by
the favored pennant contend
ers.
Neither the Milwaukee
Braves nor the New York
Yankees has lost a game but
a look at the standings shows
that each has ground to make
up. The Giants' three-game
sweep of the St. Louis Car
dinals gave them a half-game
edge on the Braves and the
White Sox' three-game wrap-
up of the Detroit Tigers earn
ed them a one-game lead over
the Yankees.
Standings at this stage of
SF Shows
Flag Fever
San Francisco -(LTD- Cynics
might say that it is a little
early but it looks as though
San Francisco is suffering
from a severe case of pennant
fever.
The undefeated San Fran
ciscans returned home last
night and were met by a host
of dignitaries and an estimat
ed 5,000 fans.
Today, the tempo increased
with the team slated to get a
hero's welcome in a gala par
ade through downtown San
Francisco.
Big Salufe N
Twelve thousand balloons,
1,000 pounds of confetti and
plenty of ticker-tape were to
be showered on the team, as
pom-pom girls, college bands
and the leather-lunged Fog
horn Murphy saluted the
Giants.
The parade was to end on
the steps of City Hall with
Mayor George Christopher
presenting each Giant with a
set of cufflinks.
The first home game is
Tuesday with a full house a
near certainty at Seals stad
ium as the Giants host the
Chicago Cubs. Jack Sanford
is to make his debut on the
hill for the locals.
Norm Sieburn
Pays Off Debt
New York (UPD Solemn
Norm Siebern says he's simply
paying back a debt he owes
Casey Stengel.
Siebern's initial payment
took the form of an eighth
inning home run that brought
the Yankees a 3-2 opening
game victory over the Red
Sox in a frigid 42-degree tem
perature Sunday at Yankee
stadium.
"I owe Casey a whole lot,"
Siebern said quietly, without
attempting to dramatize. "I
don't see how anyone can get
any lower than I was after
what happened in the World
Series, but he stuck with me
and you can bet I'm going to
give him a little extra."
Siebern's appearance in left
field at Yankee stadium Sun
day was his first there since
he butchered up the fourth
game of last year's World
Series and helped Milwaukee
take a three-games to one lead
in the classic.
the race don't mean much, of
course, but the point is that
two strong contenders not
two heavily favored defend
ing champions have made
the most of the few games
played so far.
Cepeda, the National league
"rookie of the year" in 1958
when he hit .312, delivered
the key blow in a 6-3 victory
Sunday after driving in four
of the Giants' five runs Satur
day night. The Giants had ral
lied to tie at 3-3 on Willie
Mays' two-run triple but the
score was still tied when Ce
peda went to bat with two out
and Jim Davenport on base in
the ninth.
Turley Wins Opener
The 21-year-old native of
Ponce, R.R., snapped the tie
with a triple that - put the
Giants ahead, 4-3, and Felipe
Alou followed with a homer
that gave them their final
margin of victory.
Lollar, who is hitting .533
and has driven in five runs in
three games, drove in two
runs Sunday as the White Sox
beat the Tigers, 5-3. Lollar had
three hits in each of the White
Sox' first two victories and
has made eight safeties in 15
tries.
The world champion New
York Yankees finally got un
derway after two rain-outs
and beat the Boston Red Sox,
Yanks Assign
Bob Marf-yn to
Richmond Club
New York - (UPD - Tom Car
roll, a $40,000 "bonus baby"
from Notre Dame, who had
been unable to gain a starting
job with the New Yok Yank
ees, was regarded as the key
man today in the latest playe:
swap between . the Yankees
and the Kansas City A's.
Carroll and outfielder Russ
Snyder of the Yankees' Rich
mond farm club of the Inter
national league went to the
A's in exchange for infielder
Mike Baxes and outfielder
Bob Martyn.
The Yankees immediately
cut their roster to 29 players
by assigning Baxes and Mar
tyn to ' Richmond. Baxes hit
212 in 79 games for the A's
last year while Martyn hit
261 in 95 games, mostly as a
pinch-hitter.
Two Shot Men
Better Record
Honolulu-IUPB-By the time
the 1959 track season has end
ed, the current world shotput
record of 63 feet 2 inches
should have been shattered.
At Tempe, Ariz., Saturday,
Dallas Long broke the mark
unofficially four times in an
exhibition with a top put of
64 feet 6 inches.
Bill Nieder of the San Fran
cisco Olympic Club also bet
tered the record in an exhibi
tion here Saturday. A slim
crowd of a thousand watched
the former Kansas star hoist
the 16-pound ball 63 feet 8V2
inches. Nieder's best before
that was 61 feet 9 inches.
Officials say that Nieder's
put will be submitted as a
new world mark.
Zaharias Open

Beaumont, Tex. -(UPD- Pret
ty Betsy Rawls, who combines
athletic ability with brains,

Turley's two-hitter and the
Los Angeles Dodgers defeated
the Chicago Cubs, 5-3, in the
only other games.
Al Worthington, who took
over in the eighth inning,
picked up the San Francisco
victory after lefty Mike Mc
Cormick yielded three runs
and six hits in seven innings.
The Cardinals scored all
their runs in the first inning
aided by errors by Alou, Ce
peda and Andre Rodgers but
Vinegar Bend Mizell couldn't
hold the lead against the hard
hitting Giants.
Siebern Homers
Lollar singled home a White
Sox run in the first inning
and then scored on rookie
Norm Cash's firs t major
league homer but the Tigers
pecked away at Dick Dono
van until they drew even in
the bottom of the fifth. The
White Sox took the lead right
back in the sixth on Jim Lan
dis' triple and Lollar's single
and added an insurance run
in the eighth on two errors
and Al Smith's sacrific fly.
Norm Siebern, playing his
first game at Yankee Stadium
since his losing due with the
sun in the fourth game of the
1958 World Series, homered
in the eighth to get the defend
ing world champions off to a
successful start. Turley didn't
yield a hit until Pete Runnels
doubled in the seventh and
wasn't touched for the second
Red Sox hit until Vic Wertz
singled with two out in the
ninth. Singles by Siebern,
