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.
