Fans CDptnmistSc Over Giant Team San Francisco (UPD Three games don't make a season but from the optimism in San Francisco, it appears the fans believe that the Giants have to win only a couple of more to capture the 1959 National league pennant. True, San Francisco slaugh tered the St. Louis Cardinals in the opening series of the ason. But the Cards definite ly aren't the strongest club in the league. As a matter of fact, the Giants play second division clubs through the first 17 games. Of these they should win at least three out of four to build up for what may come after. They, play St. Louis, Chicago, Los Angeles, and then Philadelphia before they run into heap big trouble Three Games at Milwaukee Two games are slated with favored Pittsburgh, then three against the Braves at Milwau kee. After that there will be a better line on what Mays, Cepeda and Co., will do this year. "Sure, we won against St. Louis," says Manager Bill Rigney "But we didn't play well enough to win against the pennant contenders." Nine errors in three days is 'way above par. Of course, ome of these were blamed on the cold weather. One thing the Giants al ready have done they have made a believer out of Man ager Solly Hemus of the Cards. "This club has a lot of punch and the pitching is harp," said Hemus after his team was routed. "And their defense is good even if they did make a lot of errors against us. They could win the pennant. Some seasoned baseball ob servers believe that the coach ing, so far, leaves something to be desired. The Giants lost a run the other day when he over-cautious coach Salty Par ker held Daryl Spencer at third base- And they sort of loused things up in another day when Willie Mays was on first and Mike McCormick on third. Mays decided to steal second and McCormick was caught as he tried to come home. Rigney Takes Blame "It's my fault," says Rigney. "I called the play. I had a hunch they would throw the ball away-but they didn't." . Rigney is convinced that Andre Rodgers, the ex cricket player from the Baha mas, will make the grade as a major league shortstop. The lad has been having a tough go of it fielding, but he has a powerful arm. "His trouble is that he doesn't charge the balls," says Rigney. "He lets the ball play him." But even with the Giants' weaknesses, San Francisco fans are attempting to con vince the players they can win the chamiponship. And that's what they call positive thinking.

McAndrews Phone SP 3-4575 or SP 2-4107 Arcaro Picks Mount For Memorial New York - (UPD - Eddie Arcaro plans to string along with First Landing in Satur day's Wood Memorial and presumably in the Kentucky Derby. The nation's greatest stakes rider picked First Landing as his mount in the Wood af ter booting Chris Chenery's colt to an impressive three length victory Monday at Ja maica. Arcaro could have chosen Elkcam Stable's Atoll, whom he piloted to ah equally im pressive triumph in last Sat urday's Gotham Stakes at the Long Island course. But after First Landing hung out the fastest six-furlong clocking of the meeting 1:10 1-5 in Monday's feature, Eddie announced, V'T11 ride him in the Wood." ' What impressed Arcaro most was the way First Land ing drew away from five riv als in the stretch and then pulled up without drawing a deep breath. x "He wouldn't blow out a match when I brought him back," Eddie declared glee fully. "He's a real fit horse. I hit him twice in the stretch to keep him going and so he would get the full benefit of the race." It was First Landing's best effort of the year. The son of Turn To won 10 of 11 starts last year and was voted .the nation's outstanding juvenile. However, he lost considerable prestige while winning only one of three outings in Flori da last winter. The Wood now shapes up as a three-horse race among First Landing, Atoll and Intentionally. ARRIVES AT DOWNS Louisville, Ky. -(UPD- Silver Spoon, C. V., Whitney's filly who is winter book co-favorite for the Kentucky Derby, was resting at Churchill Downs today following a n "uneventful" trip by . plane from California. with the Cubs with a 1-1 rec ord while the Cardinals dropped three straight in their home opener series with the Giants. The Dodgers from President Walter O'Malley down vowed the club would do better this j season than in their first year as the Los Angeles club when they finished seventh. Although few would pick the Dodgers to finish first in the National League, most ex perts agreed the club should be in the first division by the time the season comes to a close next September. A capacity throng of 1,500 jammed the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hil ton hotel Monday night to pay tribue to the Dodgers and Roy Campanella and Stan Musial at the second annual Dodger dinner sponsored by the Los Angeles chapter of the Baseball Writers. The popular Campanella was given a standing ovation that brought tears to the now paralyzed former catcher. "It is quite an honor to be here," he said. "Last year I never had an idea that I could make it." He was crippled in a near fatal auto accident 15 months ago. Mayor Norris Poulson, among the dignitaries attend ing the affair, predicted the Dodgers would land in the first division as well as land ing on top "in the Chavez Ra vine league." Sugar Ray Seeks Aid New York -(UPD- Sugar Ray Robinson turned to the courts today for help in keeping his world middleweight championship-Attorneys for Robinson caused a writ to be served Monday on Gen. Melvin Kru lewitch, chairman of the New York State Athletic Commis sion, who on April 3 ordered Robinson to sign by noon on April 15 to defend his crown, former champion Carmen Ba silio or be stripped of the title. The writ directs Krulewitch to appear in state Supreme Court at 10 a.m. Wednesday two hours before the deadline on Robinson expires-to show cause why he should not be restrained from vacating Rob inson's championship. Robinson has been dicker ing with various promoters for a rematch with Basilio, but so far has reached agree ment with none of them. Sugar Ray never has de fended the crown he won back from Basilio on March 25, 1958, even though commission rules call for a title defense at least every six months.
