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.

Speedway
Will Open
On May 21
Ashland speedway will re
open on Saturday night, May
21. The 7 p.m. program will
bring to people of the Rogue
Valley one of the fastest and
most exciting forms of auto
racing to sweep the nation
super modified competition.
Super modified rules allow
mechanics to utilize their skill
and ingenuity ' to the maxi
mum and the form of racing
reportedly taxes the skill and
daring of drivers almost to
the breaking point.
The speedway this season
will be under the manage
ment of Jack McCoy, well
known for his racing here in
past years. An earlier an
nouncement from the local
racing association had report
ed plans for racing at the
former posse grounds at Med
ford. 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.

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
