MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 8 MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1959 LA Winner Over Cards En Slugfest Pittsburgh, Pa. -EPD- The Los Angeles Dodegrs, leading the National league by a slim margin for the first time in almost two years, paused here for a single game tonight be fore traveling onto Philadel phia. Young Don Drysdale from Van Nuys was tagged by the Dodgers to take fhe mound against Pittsburgh's George Witt (0-2), Drysdale, 22 has a - 2-1 record this year. The Dodgers outlasted the cellar-dwelling St. Louis Car dinals in a marathon 3 hour, 29-minute game at Bush sta dium Sunday to score a 17-11 victory and take the three game series 2-1. Big Innings In a wild slugfest that in cluded a five-run and two four-run innings, the Dodgers outhit the Cards 20-16 and clinched the game in the eighth inning when they launched their second four run frame highlighted by a two-run double by Gil Hodg es. It was his third hit of the game. Rookie pitcher Gene Sny der 28, a southpaw from York, Pa., made his major league debuit by hurling the last three and a third innings to get credit for the win. He al lowed five hits, walked one and struck out four. The Dodgers' Charlie Neal slammed out five hits for as many times at bat. Big Mike Golf Victor Lag Vegas-flJPD-There were thousands of gamblers trying to get rich in Las Vegas dur ing the week end-but the big winner turned out to be a "pore" boy from Durham, N.C. Mike Souchak, who con fesses he "lost" $2.75 playing the slot machines, picked up. the $10,000 first prize for winning the seventh annual Tournament of Champions. And he got another $12,000 or so as his share of the giant Calcutta pool. Souchak had a 281 score in the high winds that prevailed over the Desert Inn Country club courses-two strokes bet ter than Art Wall. Gene Littler, the three-time former champion, finished with a strong 71 for third place at 285, worth $3,000. Julius Boros, defending cham pion Stan Leonard and Doug Sanders ended in a three-way deadlock for fourth at 289. Sports-EDSTROM-11 Linfield Keeps Front Position United Press International Linfield stayed in first place in the Northwest con ference baseball race over the week end by sweeping a dou bleheader from Willamette, 10-4 and 12-3. Lewis and Clark kept on the Wildcats' heels by taking two from Whitman, 6-1 and 6-5. Linfield is 6-1 and Lewis and Clark 5-1. Linfield has a one -half game edge over the second place Pioneers. In other action Pacific and College of Idaho split. Pacific took the first game, 7-3, but C of I came back to take the nightcap, 3-1. Orioles Lick Yankees in Pair; Los Angeles on Top in National By FRED DOWN United Press International Paul Richards says the sky is the limit for his Baltimore Orioles and who's going to ar gue with him after a week end sweep that has the Yank ees off to their worst start in five years? Richards had a right to crow a bit Sunday because his Orioles swept a double header from the Yankees, 5-4, and 3-2, and thus dumped the world champions into the sec ond division. With seven loss es in 13 games, the Yankees have made their poorest start since 1954 when they fail ed to win the American League penant. The Orioles themselves are tied with the Chicago White Sox for second place one game behind the Cleveland Indians. The White Sox cooled off the Indians Sunday by beating them, 6-5 and 5-2, as Early Wynn and Billy Pierce doub led in spades as pitching and hitting heroes. First in History The Orioles, who w o n a three-game series at Yankee Stadium for the first time in their history, pushed over two runs in the ninth inning to take the first game and then got a dazzling knuckleball performance from Hoyt Wil helm in the nightcap. Along the way, Richards also man aged to "out-think" Casey Stengel by tossing 20 players into the opener and also bunt ing on the wet grass after a 16-minute interruption caused by rain. The Washington Senators nicked the Boston . Red Sox, 2-1, and the Kansas City Ath letics edged the floundering Detroit Tigers, 4-3, in the oth er American league games. The Los Angeles Dodgers took over first place with a 17nll win over the St.. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati Reds out-slugged the Milwaukee Braves, 11-10, the San Fran cisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, and the Philadel phia Phillies bounced back from a 9-2 loss to down the Pittsburg Pirates, 10-5, in Na tional League activity. Hurls Five-Hitter Jim Finigan tied the opener with a ninth-inning pinch single and Brooks Robinson then singled home the deci sive run to beat Whitey Ford in relief. Wilhelm was the whole show in the nightcap, limiting the Yankees to five hits and striking out eight while scoring his second straight win. W i 1 h e 1 m's knucklers were working so well that Baltimore catcher Gus Triandos tied an Ameri can League record by being charged with four passed balls. Wynn doubled with the bases filled during a six-run third inning rally. Then Pierce pitched an eight-hitter, doubled home two runs and scored himself after a ninth- inning triple to win the sec ond game almost single-handed. Roy Sievers and Jim Lemon hit homers for the Senators and Bill Fischer scattered nine Boston hits. Bob Cery's third-inning ho mer which centerfielder Har vey Kuenn lost in a fog turn ed out to be the winning run for the Athletics who handed the Tigers their 12th defeat in 13 games. Dodgers Lead League The Dodgers soared into first place for the first time as a Los Angeles entry by scoring four runs in both the eighth' and ninth innings. Charlie Neal went 5-f or-5, Carl Furillo had four hits and Gil Hodges drove in five runs with three hits. The Reds, who hadn't beat en' Warren Spahn for almost two years until Saturday, did it for the second time in 24 hours when Johnny Temple doubled in the ninth and scored on Frank Robin son's sacrifice fly. Jackie Brandt's seventh-inning homer was the decisive blew for the Giants who beat fireballer Glen Hobbie. Jack Sanford tossed a four-hitter and fanned four in winning his third game. Dick Groat's first grand slam in the majors led the SF Giants To Oppose Phillies V Philadelphia - (UPD - Mike McCormick (0-1) takes another shot at going the distance to night for the San Francisco Giants when the boy left hander faces veteran Robin Roberts (1-1) of the Phillies. And if McCormick can finally hit his much-discussed potential, the hurling staff which was such a headache for manager Bill Rignet last year could shape up as one of the most formidable. Jack Sanford, who threw a one hitter at St. Louis on April 18; held the Chicago Cubs to four safeties Sunday at Wrigley Field while win ning -his third of the season, 3-2. He has one defeat. Jackie Brandt, the Giants left fielder who isn't exactly short on confidence, took charge in the seventh inning of Sunday's tilt and smashed a bases empty homer off loser Glen Hobbie (2-J) to drive in the decisive run. Thomson Finally Connects . That gave San Francisco a 3-1 lead but Sanford had to cool off a Chicago rally in the ninth inning which saw one more Cub run score. It crossed over when Bobby Thomas, who hadn't gotten a hit all season, singled in Chick King from third with an unearned tally. This uprising was the only bad jam which Sanford got into all day as he gave up only two walks - one of them intentional and struck out four. Lake Fishing Excellent on Opening Days Trout angling was excellent in the lakes but only fair in streams of this area on the opening week end of the sea son, reports indicated today. Many anglers limited both days at Willow Creek reser voir although luck slowed some yesterday as the day progressed and. more boats took to the lake. Trout were biting good at Squaw lake and lots of limits were taken Saturday, 'it was said. Luck at new Howard Prai rie reservoir, was "pretty good" from boats but bank fishermen did not do so well, according to answers to inqui ries this morning. Reports on fishing above the deadlines on the upper Rogue and Big Butte creek varied. Some good catches were reported while some an glers had little or.no luck at all. CONCRETE C?
