United Press International
Gil Hodges is bashing that
ball again, t and this is one
"nice guy" who could make
the Los Angeles finish first.
With husky Hodges out of
the regular lineup from July
23 to Aug. 23 with a severe
ankle sprain, the Dodgers
dropped from games back
of league-leading San Fran
cisco to 4'i games behind. But
the one-time hero of Brook
lyn is back now, and the
Dodgers are starting to move
upward.
Hodges stole the show even
from strikeout pitcher Sandy
Koufax Monday night when
he drove in five runs to lead
the Dodgers to an 8-2 win

pair of home runs - one a
bases-loaded shot -and Fran
cis twirled a five-hitter while
leading the Bees to a 12-0
victory.
The recent announcement
of the transfer of the Giants'
franchise to Tacoma-and the
continued apathy of Phoenix
baseball fans-must take the
blame for the meager turnout
of 305. It was the smallest at
tendance at Phoenix since the
club entered the PCL in the
spring of 1958.
Portland Loses
The victory kept the Bees
a half game in front of second-place
Vancouver in what
has developed into a two
team battle for first place.
Vancouver defeated Portland,
7-1, in the only other game
played, the rest of the league
taking the night off. '
Phoenix now has been shut
out seven times in its last 23
games, and has dropped 17 of
its last 18 starts.
Francis had little trouble
with the Giant batters Mon
day night, striking out 10.
Baumer drove in six runs
with his pair of homers, and
R. C. Stevens sent home two
more with a round-tripper in
the sixth. The loss went to
starter Bud Watkins, the first
of three Phoenix pitchers.
In the Portland-Vancouver
contest, Erv Palica scattered
six hits while picking up his
11th wu of the season. The
Mounties collected nine hits
off a trio of Portland hurlers,
icing the game with a three
run, burst in the first.
Jim Greengrass belted , his
23rd home run of the season
to' score the only Portland
tally. The loss was the slump
ing Beavers' fifth in a row,
dropping them four games off
the pace.

over the Philadelphia Phils.
It was a mighty big win
for the Bums, because it
snapped a three-game losing
streak that had imperilled
their pennant hopes, it boosted
them into second place ahead
of the Milwaukee Braves, and
it moved them within 3Vi
games of the Giants.
Friend Blanks Giants
The stage was set for Los
Angeles to move up when Bob
Friend of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates blanked the Giants, 6-0,
on 12 hits and young Bob An
derson of the Chicago Cubs
blanked the Braves, 3-0, on
six hits in the only other
games played in the National
League Monday.
In the only American league
games, the Chicago White Sox
boosted their league lead over
idle Cleveland to two games
by beating the New York Yan
kees, 4-2, and the Baltimore
Orioles crushed Detroit, 11-0.
Hodges started the Dodgers
on the road to victory when
his bases-loaded single high
lighted a four-run rally in the
first inning against rookie Ed
Keegan. He clinched the game
in the second when he clouted
a three-run homer, his 20th,
also off Keegan.
Lefty Koufax fanned 13
Phillies in gaining the win.
Eleven Dodgers also whiffed
and that tied another record
the major league mark of 24
strikeouts by two teams in a
nine-inning game.

Friend fanned eight batters
in beating the Giants-nailing
"phee-nom" Willie McCovey

Rocky Nelson slammed two
homers and a single to lead
the Pirates' 13-hit attack, with
starter Sam Jones of the
Giants suffering the loss.
Anderson outdueled Lew
Burdette to beat the Braves.
George Altman scored the
Cubs' first run in the first on
Johnny Logan's error, Tony
Taylor homered in the third,
and Altman drove in the final
run in the eighth with a sin
gle. Jim Landis led the White
Sox to victory with three sin
gles, driving in two runs and
scoring a third. The win, cred
ited to starter Ray Moore,
gave the Sox a season edge
over the Yankees for the first
time in 34 years. Turk Lown
pitched shutout relief for
innings to save the win.
Big Gus Triandos of the Ori
oles staged the day's biggest
hitting spree, though. He
drove in seven runs against
Detroit with a grand-slam
homer, a two-run homer, and
two singles. Knuckleballer
Hoyt Wilhelm, with four-hit
work for eight innings, got
ninth-inning relief from Jack
Fischer and his 13th win of
the year. Don Mossi was the
loser.

New York-(DPD-Carmen Ba- garage. At that age he stood
silio and Gene Fullmer, the
two young bulls who battle
for the middleweight title at
San .Francisco Friday night,
have much in common.
-Both started boxing at the
tender age of eight.
-Each have similar slug
ging styles.
-Each won and lost right
back to Ray Robinson the
now vacated title.
-Both are happily married
"home folks" who dote on
their children.
-Each is an ardent hunter
and fisherman.
-Both are breeders.
But there the similarity
ends. For while Fullmer rais
es mink, Basilio breeds hunt
ing dogs.
It is, in a way, the story of
the fight. Because come Fri
day the feeling in this corner
is that it's going to be a bad
night for the mink market
and. Fullmer well may feel
like a future lady's furpiece
harried by Basilio's beagle
pack.
Friendly Enemies
Basilio and Fullmer are
friendly "enemies." Each is
highly complimentary of the
other's courage and rough
house ability. And this mu
tual admiration may be the
reason why, although each
lost the last duke to Robin
son, both men voice the be
lief that this will be their
toughest fight.
"I made just one mistake
against Robinson the second
time," Fullmer, said today by
telephone from San Francis
co. "I let him hit me on the
chin. It was the biggest error
I ever made because anybody
can knock you out with one
shot if it lands just right."
Basilio, Fullmer contended,
is not a one-punch stopper.
"But he'll be rougher than
Robinson because he fights
three minutes of every round
while you have to chase Rob
inson for two and' one-half
minutes of every round,"
claimed the 28-year-old Mor
mon mauler from West Jor
dan, Utah.
Fullmer, who was named
after Gene Tunney and idol
izes Jack Dempsey, began
boxing at eight while watch

on a table to punch the bag
and shortly thereafter was
boxing at "smokers."
Football Too Rough
"I played basketball and
football in high school," he
said, "but they were too
rough."
So he devoted full time to
boxing and won a number of
amateur titles before turning
professional. He had won 17
straight before entering the
Army and serving 12 months
of a two-year hitch in Korea.
Basilio's story is much the
same. Built along the same
rugged lines, Carmen also
came up through the ama
teurs, enlisted in the Marines
at 17 and spent 24 months on
Guam and. at Pearl Harbor.
Basilio has an edge in pro
fessional experience, at 32
having had 74 bouts of which
he won 54, and lost 13 and
kayoed 27. Fullmer in 53
bouts has won 49, lost four
and flattened 21 rivals.
But the odds-makers have
made Carmen an 8 to 5 choice
in this one and from here it
sounds like a solid numerical
proposition. The little onion
farmer can take a tremendous
amount of punishment and
you have to go with a beagle
against a mink any day , and
twice on Friday.

of two all-star games next
year, providing both games
are played within a four-day
period.
In a vote among approxi
mately 400 players, they ap
proved of to two all-star games
for next year only if the games
are played during the same
four-day break in the sched
ule. The players went on record
as being against two separated
games as was the case this
year when the first game was
played in Pittsburgh in July
and the second one in Los
Angeles in August.
The players also endorsed
three other resolutions, in
volving pensions for' man
agers, the hiring of a new law
firm and the policy of no
night games on getaway dates.
Jordan, Utah, is a persistent
mauler who lacks explosiven
