Kaoniers and Padres Scrap To IS Dnning 1-1 Stalemate United Press International If you like your double headers jammed into one game, drop into a Pacific Coast league ballpark some time this year. Chances are you'll see two contests for the price of one without hav ing to sweat out the 15-minute intermission that holds up twin bills. San Diego and Seattle wres tled to an 18 inning, 1-1" tie Monday night which finally Dodgers Stretch Their League Lead, Beat Pirates 9-3 United Press International They said it couldn't be done, but they failed to reckon with Don Drysdale or those unpredictable first-place Dodgers. Never in the history of the National league has a ball club finished seventh oneyear-as the Dodgers did last-and then won the pennant the next-as Walt Alston's crew is threat ening now. The odds-makers were con vinced it just couldn't hap; pen. They backed up that be lief by making the Dodgers STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L Loi Angeles 10 5 Milwaukee 7 4 Pet.

Don Daniels of Washington is close behind with a .417 mark. Gary Snyder, Wash, ington, .385; Arlie Kangas, Washington State, .375, and Jerry Droscher, Oregon State, .357 round out the top five. Denny Peterson, Oregon, and Ernie Wheeler, Washing ton, are tied as the top hurl ers.. Each has two wins and no losses. Wheeler, however, has not allowed an earned run in six innings worked while Peterson has a 2.00 ERA in 18 innings. Washington, which leads the ND, tops the league in team batting with .276.

Champions of the Oregon Collegiate and Northwest conference and two other teams will make up the field. t was stopped when the curfew tolled. This followed Sunday night's 17-inning marathon at Sacramento where the Solons finally downed Spokane 4-3. Manager George Metkovich of the Padres got off easy. Umpire Pat Orr chased him in the sixth inning, long be fore Monday night's game was to end. San Diego scored first in the sixth when Mitch June walked and scored on a sacri fice and two wild pitches by 25-1 shots before the season began. .- But those odds looked en tirely out of line Monday night when the Dodgers stretched their lead to a full game by beating the Pirates, 9-3, behind Drysdale's nifty six-hit pitching. The victory was Drysdale's first over Pittsburgh since 1957 and his third of the sea son. Quite a difference from a year ago when Drysdale's record was 0-3 and the Dodg ers were floundering 'in last place. The Los Angeles-Pittsburgh game was the only one play ed in the majors Monday. The two other ones scheduled-Chi- cago at Milwaukee and San Francisco at Philadelphia wire rained out. All the Amer ican league clubs were idle. Drysdale opened the Dodg ers' eastern swing by striking out seven Pirate batters. That gave him a total of 32 strike outs so far, tops in the. Na tional league. In addition to his pitching, Drysdale, a guy who swings a mean bat, also collected two of his team's 11 hits and had a hand in a five-run first in ning rally that cased George Witt and sewed up the game for Los Angeles. By winning, the Dodgers opened up a one-game gap over Milwaukee and San Fran cisco, who are tied for second place. In the American league, the eastern clubs launch their first western swing today. linescore!

Boston Jumper Has Skin Graft "Boston (UPD A skin graft operation on the "jumning" foot of Boston University's John Thomas will keep him hospitalized for several weeks, according to his physi cians. The surgery Monday was termed a "success" and doc tors forecast that Thomas probably would resume train ing sometime this summer.

Seattle tied it in the ninth as Frank Kellert walked with two out and Gale Wade tripled him in. A total of four hurlers toil ed for the Pads while Seattle rode with Osteen and Bill Ken nedy who came on in the 14th. The game will be replayed later this season. While the Padres and Sugs got little more than tired blood for their lengthy exer tions, Phoenix won its third straight by downing Vancou ver, 6-3, and Howie Reed hurled Portland to a three hit, 4-0 win over league-leading Sacramento. Spokane and Salt Lake were idled by wet grounds. Manager Red Davis' fence wrecking crew from Phoenix clinched things with the aid of homers by Dusty Rhodes, the former1 New York Giant, and Jose Pagan. Phoenix wrapped it, up with a three- run attack against loser Bud Watkins in the second inning. Don Choate got the victory with an assist from Julio Na varro who took over in the seventh. Ron Hansen of the Moun ties, who draws his pay for his sharp fielding rather than his hitting, cracked a pair of homers in the Phoenix band box. Reed, a right-hander who is down from Kansas City, struck out seven Solons and walked only three. Nini Tor- nay, his battery mate, drove in three runs with a double and single to spark Portland's 10-hit blast against three Sac ramento hurlers. Winston Brown was the. loser. Centerfielder Al Heist of the Sacs, who had set a league record by playing 162 games without an error, bobbled a ball in the eighth inning for his first miscue since Sept. 5, 1959.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 6 TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1159 Duck Field Relocation Possible Portland (UPD Possible relocation of the University of Oregon football stadium in Eugene was given informal blessing of the State Board of Higher Education here to day. Dr. O. Meredith Wilson, university president, was au thorized to negotiate with the State Highway commission for purchase of 94 acres of land in a proposed park and recreation area. The area is located across the Willamette river from the Oregon cam pus. The present stadium is lo cated near1 the eastern end of the campus. Wilson said the city of Eu gene, Lane county and the state system of higher edu cation would be partners in the proposed development. The land would be purch ased from the highway com mission at a cost of $1000 per acre. It would be bought with money from an athletic reserve fund. Cheaper Land Wilson said only about 40 to 50 acres would be needed for the stadium and its park ing facilities. Under an in formal agreement with the highway department, the re maining land would be repur chased by the state at the same price. Wilson emphasized that the land would be cheaper than any land close to the campus. He said the' present site of the stadium would be more valuable for academic use. The .overall plan to 'devel op the park and recreation area is ""the most significant community planning that I have ever seen," he said. Wilson will negotiate with the highway commission and will bring a concrete propos al to the board next month. If approval is given then he will complete negotiations later in May with the commis sion. He made the proposal at a meeting of the board's build ing committee. The board members indicated approval.

L e n Corbosiero, general manager of the proposed Los Angeles Jets, said the group has talked to Boston Celtics star Bill Sharman about the prospects of hiring him as coach Sharman, former South ern California star, was said to be "interested."
