eavers Win First Game
At Phoenix City Stadium
Uniied Press International
Will miracles never cease?
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. George Freese belted
a pir of two-run homers to
get the winners off to a 8-0
lead, but the Giants came back
with some long-distance slug
ging of their own to make it
respectable, eyentually losing
9-6.
Small Turnout
A crowd of only 643 saw
the Beavers make history. It
was the smallest turnout since
Phoenix entered the PCL last
season.
In other night games, Salt
Lake City shaded Seattle, 8-7,
and league-leading Spokane
defeated San Diego, 7-3, be
fore a meager crowd in the
Southern California city.
Sacramento scored 11 runs
In the first two innings, then
held on for an 11-8 win over
Vancouver before 7,007 fans
in an afternon game at Ed
monds field. The victory put
the Solons in second place, a
half game behind Spokane.
At San Diego, Spokane put
together a pair of double
steals and 'a double in the
ninth inning to break a 3-3
deadlock. Steve Bilko, down
from the Los Angeles Dodg
ers, slammed a bases-empty
homer in the sixth for the
winners.
Salt Lake collected 11 hits
off four Seattle pitchers and
wthstood a grand slam home
run by the Rainiers' Ted Tap-
pe in the eighth to post its
first win of the season. First
baseman Paul Pettit and out
fielder Charles Bernier each
drove in three runs for the
Bees.
Generous With Walks
Despite issuing a generous
total of 12 walks, Salt Lake
starter Don Rowe lasted sev
en and two-thirds innings to
pick up the victory. Seattle
starter Tom Gibson, who was
belted out in the first inning,
was tagged with the loss.
.Vancouver scored six runs
in the seventh at Sacramento
but it wasn't enough to over
come the Solon's earlier hit
ting splurge. Al Heist hom
ered for the home club, while
Ray Barker knocked in four
runs for the Mounties, three
of which scored on his bases
loaded triple in the seventh.

Tuleg bowed a tendon slight

Lee, who has been injured in
California this winter, clear

record-breaking victory at

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

Finn Wins
Boston AA
Marathon
Boston (UPD Finnish detec
tive Eino Oksanen held a cov
eted laurel wreath and diamond-studded
gold medal to
day for winning the 63rd an
nual Boston A. A. Marathon.
The well-muscled Oksanen
brought Finland its third vic-
tory Monday by forging past
the favored Johnny Kelley of
Groton, Conn., with less than
a mile left in the 26-mile, 385
yard course and winning by
some 300 yards.
However, temperatures in
the low 40s were too much to
overcome for a course record.
Oksanen, 27, broke the tape
in 2 hours, 22 minues, 42 sec
onds, some two and one-half
minutes slower than the 1957
mark set by Kelley.
Dickson Third
Gordon Dickson, a 27-year-old
accountant from Hamil
ton, Ont., finished third, while
1954 winner Veikke Karvon-
en of Finland was fourth and
Osvalde Suarez of Buenos
Aires, Argentina, running his
first full-length marathon was
fifth.
Oksanen's triumph contin
ued foreign domination of the
race. He was the 13th foreign
entry to capture the honors in
the past 14 years, Kelley
bringing the wreath back to
U. S. shores in 1957 after 11
years.
Only three U. S. runners
finished in the top 10 Mon
day. They were Kelley, who
also placed "second to Yugo
slavia's Franjo Mihalic last
year, James Green of Saugus,
Mass. (8th), and Al Confalone
of Wakefield, Mass., (9th).
Thompson
Wins Fight
New York -(UPD- Eddie Ma
chine Gun Thompson, who
surprised by winning in a sub
stitute's role, laid plans for
another step up the boxing
ladder today.
Thompson, who replaced
the ailing Randy Sandy, beat
Benny Kid Paret of Cuba on
a split decision in a fairly
dull 10-round non-televised
bout at St. Nicholas Arena
Monday night. Each fighter
weighed 1571.
Now Thompson, New York
er who has won 17 of 22 pro
fessional bouts, wants to move
up the middleweight parade
to meet fighters ranked just
under the top. The name of
Canadian Wilfie Greaves was
mentioned as a possible
rival.
Paret was a 2-1 favorite
over Thompson.

At the same time the House

Rep. Norman Howard (D

The case probably will be

greatest thrill" of . his life
when he caught one of Jones'
curves and hit it to left-center
field almost in the same spot
where Willie Mays had hom
ered in the first inning to
give the Giants their single
tally.
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.
