Philadelphia-(l!PI) - This just
doesn't look like the Phila
delphia Phillies' year.
As if they didn't have
enough trouble, the last-place
Phils were informed Saturday
that shortsop Joe Koppe will
be lost to them for six to eight
weeks.
At that, the Phillies got off
lucky. They came mighty

Jirates Friday night.
Koppe and Curry both came
tfcftether with tremendous im
pact while trying for Rocky

to be suffering from a dislo

Curry's chest proved negative
but he remained in the hos

shock. The Phillies also lost
the game, 3-0.
The latest Philadelphia mis

Meyer, Phillie pitcher who
was fined about $1,000 for
"horsing around" in a Pitts
burgh hotel room, appeared
ready to withdraw his threat
to take the case to Commis

Meyer's injury resulted in

Musial, who may quit before

Williams both could drop
sharply on the all-time batting
average rolls if they continue
at their present pace of hit
production - or lack of it.
Williams, at the end of the
1958 season, stood sixth
among the all time hitters
with a .349 lifetime average.
He dropped to eighth with his
.254 mark last year and could
fade to 12th or as far as 16th
this time around if he goes
much below his current .300
average.
Musial, after the 1958 cam
paign, was 16th among the
all-time hitters with a life
time average of .340. His
1959 mark of .225 skidded
him to 20th and his current
.245 average threatens to drop
him out of the top 25.
Williams will sweat out the
season but San the Man may
depart by the AH-Star break.

The 128-pound, 5-6 ball of

sparkling 13:51.7 in the

While the cheers vent

Mickelsen Is Choice of
Portlanders for Majors
By JIM COURII
Unite Press International
Portland - (UPD - When Port
land baseball fans talk about
which one of "their" Beavers
is the most likely to make the
major leagues, the name of
Noel Mickelsen usually coincs
up first.
It s logical.
Mickelsen, a 6-foot-6 pitch
er, has given- eve.y indication
this year in Pacific Coast
league baseball play that he's
ready to be a major leaguer.
The 25-year-old righthander
has come on to post a 6-3
record and a 3.16 earned run
average in 1960 as a starter
after finishing with a 3-6
mark in an entire campaign
as a relief hurler with Sacra
mento last season.
The only thing that interests
Mickelsen at the present, how
ever, is piling up victories for
the Beavers. It's more than
just a professional allegiance.
For Portland, the lanky hurler
feels he's come of age.
Traded to Portland
Mickelsen was traded by
Sacramento to Portland dur
ing the winter season for 39-year-old
veteran pitcher El
mer Singleton. Evidently the
Solons didn't think the big
Irishman had much of a future.
But with Portland, Mickei-
Rawls, Ziske
Tie for Lead
Mount Clemens, Mich.-IUPD-
Betsy Rawls and Joyce Ziske
the first-round pace setters in
the $7,509 women's Wolverine
Open, retained the lead Satur
day with third round totals of
224 and a three-stroke buldge.
Miss Ziske, from Waterford,
Wis., fired a two-under-par
73 her second 73 of the
tournament and Miss Rawls
of Spartanburg, S.C., shot a
74 to wrest the advantage
from second round leader Wif-
fie Smith.
Miss Smith skied to a 78 on
the third round for a 54 hole
total of 227 and third- place.
Both the second and third
rounds were played yesterday
and the final 18 holes will
be played today.
Foundation Day
Set for July 4
New York -flJPD- The fourth
annual National Foundation
Basebafl day will be held
July 4 with all baseball teams
throughout the country con
tributing towards the March
of Dimes program. The ma
jors, minor, and other base
ball groups have pledged their
support.
FLOYD 'BETTER FIGHTER'
Newton, Conn.-(UPD - Floyd
Patterson is "a 50 per cent
better fighter than he was a
year ago," according to his
trainer, Dan Florio. Florlo
said Patterson is "faster, much
more alert and will be a lot
more explosive" for his June
20 title fight with heavy
weight champion Ingemar Johansson.
Group Plans Big
Housing Project
Woodburn - (UPD - A group
called Senior Citizens of the
West, Inc., has revealed blue
prints for a $10 million hous
ing development near Wood
burn exclusively for the aged
President of the developing
firm, George F. Brice Jr., said
the project is expected to in
volve 1,000 homes eventually.
Brice is also president of Se
curity Bank of Oregon.
His group has taken options
on 220 acres west of Wood
burn. One-bedroom homes will
go for $5,500. The downpay
ment will be $670 and month
ly payments $49.50, according
to Brice.
Commission Okays
Highway Survey
Salem (UPD- A location sur
vey for an 8.3 mile four-lane
highway to connect the Bal
dock freeway with the Sunset
highway was approved Friday
by the Oregon highway commission.
The project will cost about
$6,500,000, will be built in seg
ments and will take up to
eight years to complete.
It will carry traffic off the
Baldock at Bonita road
through the Cedar Hills area
and connect with the Sunset
highway at the Cedar Hills
shopping center west of Port
land.
sen seems to have gotten his
big break. Why? Larry Jan
sen, the Beaver pitching
coach.
JaiLscn, an eight-year pitch
ing veteran with the old New
York Giants of the National
league and Portland mound
tutor for the past three sea
sons, gets most of Mickelsen's
praise for his improvement.
"Larry has taught me how
to get into the right positions
and deliver the right pitches
at the right times," Noel says.
"What's even more important
is that he's given me the con
fidence I need to go out and
win. He's a great guy."
Mickelsen has appeared in
77 13 innings already this
year. Last season, for Sacra
mento, the 190-pounder ap
peared in only 114 frames
over the entire season. He
had a 4.18 ERA.
Portland's star hurler sign
ed with tlie Milwaukee
Braves' organization in 1956
after graduation from San
Diego State college.
Best Year
He's been In the minors
ever since, his best year record-wise
coming with Evans-
ville in the Three-I league in
1957 when he won 17 games
and lost only 5.
Pro baseball didn't end
Mickelsen's education, how
ever. He has been working
toward his master's degree in
education at San Diego State
as well as gaining coaching
experience as an assistant
head S.D. hoop mentor under
George Ziegenfuss, a former
University of Washing ton
Ail-American.
Mickelsen, who will get his
master's degree next year and
who was a four-year letter
man in both baseball and bas
ketball at the California in
stitution, would like to coach
in the future.
Right now, though, all
Mickelsen wants to do is win
for Portland. But at the rate
hes going, Beaver fans are
afraid he'll win himself right
out of Portland and Into the
major leagues.
