Giants Win 1-0 on By McCormick; Dusting Duel By MILTON RICHMAN Unittd Pris International Beanballs already? Yup, and it seems only natural that the two teams fir ing at each other are the Giants and Dodgers in a prompt early-season attempt to establish who's the boss. The Giants were Wednes day when southpaw Mike Mc Cormick not only pitched them to a two-hit, 1-0 victory over the Dodgers, but also had the last word in a lively dusting duel with side-armed Don Drysdale. Drysdale, who allowed only five hits in dropping his first game of the season following two victories, hit Orlando on the head with a pitch in the second Inning. Cepeda's helmet saved him on that one. Then in the sixth, Drysdale stung Willie Mays with a fast ball on the left forearm. Mays grimaced in pain but trotted down to first base. Now it was McCormick's turn in the top of the seventh. He didn't waste any time fir. lng his first pitch straight at Wally Moon's head. Moon hit the dirt as the ball whizzed past him and that ended the beanballs - for the day any way. , McCormick's Second Victory The victory was McCor mick's second, coming after a three-hit, 6-1 win over the Cardinals on April 13, and he even helped his own cause at the plate. Willie Kirkland led off the fifth with a single and moved up on an infield out. With two down, McCormick , caught Dodger third baseman Jim Gilliam flat-footed as he laid down a perfect bunt along the foul line. That sent Kirkland to third from where he scored on Don Blasln game's single. NW League Outlook Seems Better Than For Several Years Portland-IUPD- The six-team Northwest Baseball league, more worried about the wea ther than competition from the northward-moving Pacific Coast league, opens play next Tuesday with games at Sa lem, Yakima and Lewiston. ' Jim Fleishman, Portland lumberman starting his fifth season as the Class B League's president, said pre-season prospects for both attendance and caliber of players are better than for some time. "I think the league is more solid now than at any time since I've been president," he said. Fleishman blamed "early season bad weather for an at tendance drop of 11 per cent last season. The league drew 324,700 fans. Eugene, which led in attendance with 67,400, nevertheless had an attend ance drop of 19 per cent from 1958. Wants 1,000 a Game Fleishman doesn't expect the fact that five of the eight PCL teams are now In the Northwest to handicap his circuit "The figure we are trying to hit at is 1,000 per game averse, he said. Between 60,000 and 65,000 fans in most Northwest league cities is considered the "break-even figure, although Lewiston, a smaller city, counts 50,000 as a good season turnout. It's no secret that some clubs at times have been on the ropes because of poor attend ance. Last season Wenatchee drew only 44,000 and cham pion Yakima 43,900. Salem, the first half champ, had 66,. 600, Lewiston 56,000 and Trl Cltv 46.800. Opening games Tuesday find Eugene at Salem and Wenatchee at Lewiston. Ends Sept. 5 The 140-game schedule, ending Sept. 5, again will see a split season. The first half ends June 30 and the second half starts the next day. An Handball Meet Underway at Y The YMCA handball tournament sot under way Tuesday, according to Fred Sears, chairman. The tournament will be round robin. Team with the most wins will be champion, If there is a tie between two teams there will be a one match Dlavoff of three games For the first round the pair ing are: John Dellenback and Lee Ragsdale versus Duke McQueen and Don Hansen; Herb Partridge and John Reynolds versus Fred Sears and Jay Pierce; and Carl Bro- phy and Bruce Hums versus Bob Jones and irv. tiogan. Corvallil -H1PD- A scheduled Northern Division baseball game between Oregon State and Washington State was postponed Wednesday because of wet grounds. A oouDieneaa er was sot for today. The victory boosted the Giants into a first-place tie with the Dodgers. Pittsburgh defeated Phila delphia, 4-2, and Cincinnati beat Milwaukee, 10-5, in 10 innings. Chicago and St. Louis were idle. In the American League, the Tigers topped the Indians for the second straight time, 6-4, the Red Sox walloped the Yankees, 7-1, and the Senators beat the Orioles, 8-7. The White Sox and A's were not scheduled. Don Hoak's two-run homer In the fifth inning was the Pirates' margin of victory over the Phillies. Vern Law scattered seven hits for his second victory and when the Phillies finally scored in the seventh, it marked the first run Law had yielded this sea son in 15 consecutive innings. Don Cardwell was the loser. Five For Five Roy McMillan, who used to be a soft touch at the plate, teed off for five hits, includ ing a pair of homers, in the Reds' extra - inning triumph over the Braves. McMillan hit both his homers off starter Warren Spahn, singled home two more runs in the ninth when the Reds went ahead, 5-4, and drove in his fifth run of the game with another single in the 10th when Cin cinnati hammered loser Don McMahon for five runs. Eddie Mathews belted his second homer of the campaign in a three-run first inning. Raul Sanchez, sixth of seven Cin cinnati pitchers, was credited with the victory. A homer by Al Kaline was the payoff blow for Detroit over Cleveland although a pair of former Indians, Rocky Colavito and Norm Cash, each homered too. Kaline broke a all-star game will be played sometime in July between the first half champion and all stars from other teams. Most of the teams have working agreements of some type with teams from higher leagues. Three of last year's man agers are back - Kark Kuehl at Salem; John McNamara at Lewiston and Dick Wilson at Wenatchee. New this year are Clarence Hicks at Yakima; Dick Klaus at Eugene, and Whitey McDowell at Trl-Clty. Wilson, Kuehl and McNamara are playing managers.

Team of Racers A big purse has drawn some of the very best cars on the west coast for the season open er on the track near Ashland. Porter brothers, Redding, Calif., have entered a team of stripped down racers powered by twin thunderbird engines rumored to be equipped with superchargers. This team is said to have put on record breaking appearances every where they have appeared. Bill Robinson, the scourge of Central, Calif, racing, has indicated the belief that his Chevrolet-powered "bomb1' is capable of setting new records at the Ashland track. Jim Roberts, Eugene, will enter what is considered one of the most beautiful and un usual modified cars to be built. The vehicle loks like an Indianapolis racer. It has its Plymouth V-8 motor off-set with the driveline passing on the left side of the driver. No. 33 will bear watching since it has won many races in the northwest. The aforementioned cars are just a sample of those spectators will see on opening night. Entries are still com ing in.

Chef mm r State Congressional Democrats Differ On President Choice Washlngton-TOPD - Oregon's congressional Democrats are hardly one big happy family when It comes to presidential preferences in the state's May 20 primary. Sen. Wayne Morse natural ly is his own "favorite son" candidate in the race. Rep. Edith Green heads the state's campaign committee for Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. Charles O. Porter is backing Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.). Ullman Neutral The remaining Democratic congressman, Rep. Al Ullman, Is staying neutral in the pri mary. He told United Press International he was "com pletely uncommlted." Ullman said Morse had a good chance of winning the primary with Kennedy showing up next best. Others on the Democratic slate are Sens. Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) and Stuart Symington (Mo.). Neither Johnson nor Symington plan ned to campaign in the state and their chances for a big vote were considered nil by Oregon's lawmakers. Both Symington and John son were convinced that Morse would win and they don't want to buck the "fav orite son" on his home grounds. Morse Given 'No Chance' Porter said Morse's candi dacy "sharpens the issues and blurs the primary." Porter and Mrs. Green said Morse had "no chance" of getting the Democratic presidential nomination at the July con vention in Los Angeles. They said, more wishfully than with apparent convic tion, that Oregon voters would want their primary bal ne Bom i wm WSM OLD) Mir. rrtW""!""" - .wT;"f-"u.'

Mrs. Green planned to go home to campaign for Ken nedy and Porter planned an intensive drive for Hum phrey, starting May 10. "I have seen no poll, nor read any major newspaper, nor have I talked to any na tional' Democratic leader who gives Morse any chance of being President, Mrs. Green said, Humphrey Worried But Morse declared, "I couldn't be more serious. That's the kind of stuff Hum phrey is spreading. They like to downgrade me. Humphrey Is worried. Ask Kennedy and Humphrey if I am a serious candidate. ' The Oregon ' senator was confident he would win the state's primary and the Dis trict of Columbia primary on May 3. His choice for Presi dent, after himself, is Adlai . Stevenson.
