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.

shutout over the high-flying
Pirates was his first win since
last August 31 when he de
feated the Giants, 5-2.
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.

Last Place Philadelphia
Philadelphia -(IIPli - The San
Francisco Giants will send
Sad Sam Jones to the mound
against the Philadelphia Phil
lies tonight to see if they can
take advantage of a favor by
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
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."

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.
