Pads Apply Stopper
To Spokane Indians
By PETE COLEMAN
United Pren International
The San Diego Padres have
applied the stopper" to Spo
kane's early season romp
through the Pacific Coast
league.
The Pads did It Tuesday
night by downing the Indians,
3, with some timely hitting
and a neat eight-hit pitching
t performance by PCL veteran
Bud Podbielan.
The defeat snapped a five
iiiue Spokane winning streak,
but dtdu t move the Indians
out of their first place perch
ui toe standings. They still
lioU a one-game edge over
the Sacramento Solons, who
slipped by Porltand. 3-2.
In toe only other game,
Scuttle got its hitters and
pitchers working together to
smack Salt Lake. 9 0. Ta
coma and Vancouver were
rained out.
Two Wiiu for Bud
Podbielan, had only one
rough spot while notching his
second win against no defeats.
That was in the sixth inning
when Frank Howard drove in
both Spokane runs with a
double.
The Padres got two of their
tallies in the fourth, Stan
Johnson singling in both of
them. The clincher crossed
in the sixth on a single-sacrifice-single
combination and
the insurance run went on the
scoreboard in the seventh.
Indian reliever Chris Nico-
losi was the losing pitcher. It
Fulmer Favored
To Retain Title
By ED SAINSBURY
Bozeman. Mont. -flJPI- Rug
ged Gene Fullmer, a Mormon
mink rancher from West
Jordan, Utah, was a 12-to-5
favorite to defend successfully
his NBA middleweight title
tonight against challenger
Joey Giardello of Brooklyn.
Both fighters will weigh In,
without any problems anticl
pa ted, at noon e.s.t. today for
their nationally tclevlzed
match which was expected to
draw nearly 12,000 fans Into
(he Montana State College
Fieldhouse.
Snould that lhrong ,how
up, it waI expected that the
.ros, Mt for the bout. Mun-
tana's second title fight in
history, would surpass the
previous record gate, $201,-
483, paid at the other cham
pionship match when heavy
weight titleholdcr Jack Demp
sey decisioned Tommy Gib
bons in Shelby, Mont., July 4,
1923.
It was certain the crowd
tonight would be a record for
the state, since 10,000 tickets
had been sold Tuesday night
the previous mark was 7.202
fans at the Dcmpsey-Gibbons
affair.
Fullmer will receive one of
his best purses, $100,000 plus
expenses, while Giardello will
get the largest payday of his
career, $25,000 plus expenses.
Both fighters expect the
bout to go the scheduled 15
round distance. But should the
match end earlier, it was
likely that Fullmer would
win. He has lost only four
times In 55 fights and has
been knocked out only once,
by former champion Sugar
Ray Robinson, May 1, 1957,

.
was his first loss to San Diego
in two years.
Sacramento relied on Elmer
Singleton, another PCL vet
eran hurler, to get by Port
land. Singleton was reached for
only six hits in recording his
second win of the campaign.
Coma From Behind
The Solons came from be
hind twice to tie the score, 1-1,
at the end of four, and 2-2,
after seven. They won it in
the Inst of the ninth on singles
by Jim Bolgcr, Milt Smith
and pinch-hittcr Bill Shields.
The Seattle Rainiers had
everything working lor them
as they rolled by Salt Lake.
Ray Ripplemeyer chalked
up his first win of the season
with a four-hitter in which he
struck out six and walked
only one. He was in trouble
only in the eighth when the
Bees loaded the bases, but a
double play got him out of the
jam.
At the plate, the Suds were
led by Bill Ham s grand-slam
homer and Buddy Gilbert's
bases-empty shot.

son finally will sign formal
contracts Thursday for their
June rematch for the heavy

Johansson was considerably
irked Tuesday when the sign

hinted darkly that If there is
any more delay he may drop
the whole thing.
However, no further delay
is expected.
'It's final and definite - we

the one they'll pay off on.
The 37-year-old native of
Matanzas, Cuba, returned to
Chicago's South Side as a
hometown favorite for the
first time in three years Tues
day and demonstrated how
he's beefed up the White Sox'
"go go" attack by driving in
six runs in a 10-9 victory over
the Kansas City Athetlics.
, Minoso thus stole the Amer
ican League's opening day
spotlight despite a program
during which:
' -The Detroit Tigers beat
the Cleveland Indians, 4-2, in
a 15-inning struggle that tied
the big league record for the
longest opening-day game.
-Roger Maris made a sensa
tional debut for the New York
Yankees who awoke from
their spring cema to whip the '

-Rookies Ron Hansen and
Marv Breeding reeled off
three double plays as the Bal
timore Orioles downed the
Washington Senators, 3-2.
Dodgers Beat Giants
The week-old National
league race had an undisputed
leader when the Los Angeles
Dodgers beat the San Fran
cisco Giants, 4-0, for their
fifth win in six games. The
Philadelphia Phillies shaded
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3,
and the St. Louis Cardinals
beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-2, in
night games.
Minoso, acquired from the
Indians in a seven-player
trade last December, hit a
420-foot grand slam homer in
the fourth inning after knock
ing in an early run with a
sacrifice fly and then snapped
a 9-9 tie with a second homer
in the ninth. The White Sox
had jumped to a 9-2 lead by
the fourth but the A's routed
Early Wynn in a three-run
fifth and kayoed Mike Garcia
with two in the sixth.
Norm Siebern's homer and
Ken Hamlin's run-scoring sin
gle tied the score for the A's I
in the top of the ninth but
Minoso's blast sent the club's
opening-day record crowd of
41,661 home happy a few mo
ments later.
Five-Hour Game
The Tigers and Indians bat.

minutes before Al Kallne's
two-run single in the 15th in
ning settled matters. Pete
Burnside, third Detroit pitch
er, had walked and moved to
I third on Bob Wilson's double
'to set up the end of the long-
est opening-day game since
1926. A crowd of 52,756 at
Cleveland saw Wilson's pinch
single give the Tigers a 2-0
lead in the 11th inning but
the Indians tied It in their
half on Jimmy Pitrsall's two
run single.
The man-to-man duel be
tween Colavilo and Kuenn
was pretty much a bust, Cola
vito striking out four times
and hitting into a double play
for the Tigers and Kuenn
making two singles in seven
tries for the Indians.
Maris, the Yankees' key
winter acquisition, drove in
four runs with two homers, a
