SIPClMRTg Koufax Wins After Six Losses in Row Pittsburgh OJPIj Sanford (Sandy) Koufax Is a handsome young bachelor whose un usual knack for throwing baseballs past batters may t help drag the Los Angeles f Dodgers out of the National lrn cur's second division. Los Angeles edged Pitts burgh, 1-0, Monday night and the young fireballer pitched a one-hitter and struck out 10 Pirates. It was In the nature of a comeback for left-handed. Brooklyn-bred Sandy. He had lost six straight and was prob ably beginning to wonder if the patron saint of pitchers was displeased with him. The Bevos Split Two Games With Mounts United Press International With the exception of a few changes Involving the "won" and "lost" columns of the ' sixth and seventh place teams, today's Pacific Coast league standings look just the same as yesterday's. And this is the first time that's happened in quite a spell. A week ago Sunday, Taco ma and Sacramento started taking turns leading the league on alternate days. The "my turn, your turn" routine finally came to a halt Monday night when the Giant-Solon game was rained out. Tacoma, being the top dog Monday, remained so to day and it must have felt something like a winning streak. In the only action Monday. Portland and Vancouver split a doubleheader, the Beavers taking the opener, S-2, and the Mountlcs the second game, 8-0. Taussig, Freest Homer Don Taussig and George Freese accounted for all the Portland runs in the opener. Taussig hit a onc-on homer In the sixth and Freese belt ed one over the fence with two mates aboard In the eighth, Bob Anderton got his third win while holding the Moun tlcs to six hits, one of which was a solo homer by Bobby Balccna. Curt Barclay was the Van couver hero in the second game. The big righthander pitched a four:hit shutout and never was in trouble while scoring his second victory In five decisions. Chuck Oretel led the Moun ties at the plate with three singles in four trips.

Fanned 18 That night he struck out 18. Some if the younger sports writers think that "K" they put on the scorccard designat ing a strikeout stands for "Koufax." A man who's never both ered performing in the min ors, Koufax has been steadily improving his strikeout totals since joining the big time with Brooklyin in 1955. That year he sent 30 bat ters back to the bench with out hitting the ball. He fol lowed with 30 more in 1956, then 122 in 1957. 131 in '58 and a whopping 173 in 1959, more than one an inning. Sandy has the best fanning record of any National league pitcher right now 43 in 38 2 3 innings. Manager Walter Alston is going with another lefty to night, Johnny Podrcs (2-4), Podres will be opposing the Pirates' Joe Gibbon (3-1). Alston is still fretting about the miserable Dodger hitting If It hadn't been for Koufax and his adroit left arm, it probably would have been just another dismal day of de feat. The club only managad to back Sandy with an anemic total of four hits. Norm Lar ker and Tommy Davis had doubles in the seventh to score the lone run. Pirate flingcr Bennie Daniels put three more Dodgers on base via bases on balls. Rookie powerhouse Frank Howard, the former basket ball standout for Ohio State's Buckeyes, was hitless in three trips.

Parker stadium will be the scene of the game, start ing at 3:30 p.m. and Immedi ately following the state high school track meet on Bell field. Bates, who is now in the army on a six-month stint and stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, has received per mission to have a week end pass In order to join the alums.

Jones will oppose Robin Roberts. The Giants gained a half game on league-leading Pitts burgh Monday when their ri vals from Southern California edged the Pirates, 1-0. San Francisco is now just one game off the pace. However, Manager Bill Rignes crew will have to do better than It has so far. The Giants have won only two of the six games played on the current road trip - and Sad Sam has yet to win on the road in five starts. Last Place The Phillies nre In last place in the National League, but San Francisco knows from experience it can't count on that. The Phils played a big part in shaking the pen nant out of the Giant's grasp last season. San Francisco has beaten Philadelphia three times this season at Candlestick Park -but the Giants had to fight for every victory. Jones and Jack Sanford won 1-0 shutouts, and it took three top Giant pit chers to win the other game. 4-2. Rlgncy indicated Monday he wasn't too pleased with the relief pitching of Billy Locs and said he might reach down into the minor farm clubs to "gel somebody who can get somebody out for us in the ninth Inning."

Main U., 2nd fet II 1 w.-ll te 5 As LA Idle By HIED DOWN Unlttd Prt International The Dodgers are wrestling with i fiva-year-old question again: Is Sandy Koufax on his way to stardom or was Mon day night's one-hitter just an other false start? It's the same old question they've been trying to answer about the 24-year-old fire baller ever since he was sign ed to a $21,000 bonus contract in 1934. One day Sandy looks like a world beater. But then weeks, even months, may pass before he wins another game. His 1-0 victory over the Na tional league-leading Pitts burgh Pirates for example, was his first triumph since Aug. 31, 1939, when he tied Bob Feller's major league strikeout record by fanning 18 San Francisco Giants in one game. One Thing Constant Only one thing remains constant about Koufax-when he's really got it he's one of the most overpowering pitch ers anybody's ever seen. It was like that Monday night when 6-foot, 2-inch, 210 pound Sandy yielded a single in the second inning to pitch er Benny Daniels and then Just "bombed" the Pirates with his fast balls. He walked six but he struck out 10 and there wasn't a semblance of a hit after the second frame. But, then, there's the other Kotifax-the Koufax who has a 29-31 career record, includ ing 1-4 this season and who didn't win a game all last September or in the first five weeks of this season. Pirates' Lead Shared The Dodgers victory cut the first-place Pirates' lead over idle San Francisco to one game and moved Los Angeles past the St. Louis Cardinals into fifth place. The Chicago Cubs topped the Cincinnati Reds, 7-6, In 13 innings and the New York Yankees shad ed the Kansas City Athletics, 4-3, in the only other major league activity. George Altman his his sec ond homer of the year to break up a three-hour and 54- minute marathon in Cincin nati after the Reds tied the score at 6-6 on Gus Bell's two- run homer In the 12th. Six Homers Eight pitchers saw action in the game and there were six homers-by Walt Moryn, Jim Brosnan, Ed Bailey and Vada Pinson In addition to those by Bell and Altman. The Yankees beat the Ath letics for the 21st time in their last 26 games when plnch hltter Elston Howard's sacri fice fly scored Gil McDougald and snapped a 3-3 tie In the ninth. Rookie John Gabler re ceived credit for his second victory but fireballer Ryne Duren really locked It up for New York by retiring the Athletics in the ninth via three strikeouts.

Cubs and Reds To Honor 25th Year of Night Ball Cincinnati, Ohio - H'PII - The last major league holdout against night games and the first professional baseball team to play under the lights combine tonight to celebrate the 25th anniversary of night baseball. It was May 24, 193S, when President Franklin D. Roose velt threw a switch in the White House that illuminated Crosley Field here for the first night game between the Cin cinnati Reds and the Phila delphia Phils. Tonight the Reds and Chi cago Cubs, a team which does not have lights in its home Wrigley Field, will meet to celebrate the silver annivers ary of that first contest. Big Paul Derringer, one of the all-time Cincinnati greats, will toss out the first pitch, j He pitched 23 years ago when I the Reds defeated the Phila- j delphla Phils, 2-1, In the first I arc light contest. j Cincinnati played a e v e n night games that first year and followed with seven more in each of the next two years. Although night contests caught on here, it wasn't until 1938 that Brooklyn became the second National league Joe Louis To Spy On Johansson Grossinger, N.Y. - (UPI) - Joe Louis, who has received more advance publicity than any other "spy" in history, was scheduled to do some very public "snooping" today at the training camp of heavy weight champion Ingemar Johansson. The celebrated "Brown Bomber" makes no secret of the fact he wants to learn something that will help Floyd Patterson beat Johans son in their return title fight at New York June 20. Louis is now an adviser to ex-champ Patterson and an nounced some time ago that he would visit Johansson's camp today to see what he could find out. Johansson's handlers say Louis will learn the champ is more dangerous than ever. "This guy has more power than before, is hitting harder and sharper, and has all the confidence nccesssary to stop Patterson early," said veteran trainer Whitcy Bimstein.
