The Portland Beavers broke a tradition Monday night that had stood since the demise of the Los Angeles Angels and and San Francisco Seals, win ning their first game in his tory at Phoenix municipal stadium. The Beavers, who dropped all 11 of their games at Phoe nix last season, used the home run to good advantage while making their debut on the winning side of the ledger in Arizona.

Tomy Lee, who has been injured in California this winter, clear ly proved he bad completely recovered from a cut in the frog of a hoof by scoring a record-breaking victory at Stepping Stone purse at the Lexington track. Tomy Lee ran seven furlongs in 1:21 3-5, three-fifths di a second fast er than the record set a year ago by Tim Tarn, the 1958 Kentucky Derby winner. The Stepping Stone purse only proved that Tomy Lee was sound, however. There never was any question of his speed from the time he made his first start at Santa Anita on Jan. 7 last year. But whether Tomy Lee has the stamina to go with his fleetness will remain un known until the colt is tried in the Rose Run at one mile and a quarter.

From that point on, Drys dale retired 21 men in order until Andre Rodgers slammed a ball to shortstop on what was first scored as an error and after- the game changed to a hit, giving Drysdale a three-hitter instead of a two hit effort. In the ninth, Jackie Brandt beat out a grounder that could have been an easy out had Norm Larker covered the bag and permitted Neal to handle the ball. Drysdale then walk ed Mays while trying not to give him a fat pitch, but Mays was forced by Orlando Cepeda to end the threat. Mays' First Homer For Mays, the first-inning blast was his initial homer of the season, and like Neal's homer, it caught the "jet stream" breeze in left center field and sailed over the fence there. The Dodgers tapped Jones for six hits, with Jim Gilliam and Wally Moon getting trip les and Larker a double. But their only other run came in the second on a walk, a sacri fice and singles by Larker and Zimmer. The 11 strikeouts register ed by Drysdale gave him 25 men fanned in three games to lead the National league. He went into Monday night's game tied with Johnny An tonelli of the Giants and Larry Jackson of the Cardinals with 14 strikeouts each.
