Worth in the American asso ciation this year, has been purchased by the Chicago Cubs. The 6-foot, 3-inch, 210 poundcr had previous Nation al league experience with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1954 and 1955. By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Those Orioles must have planted a booby trap in Bal timore because it sure isn't a pitcher's paradise anymore. Rival pitchers used to love to work in Baltimore. For one thing the ball park was big ger than all outdoors and for another, they never had to worry about being rapped for homers. Certainly not by the sup posedly weak-hitting Orioles, whose customary rallies used to consist of a walk, a Texas league single and a sacrifice fly. But things have changed - and how! The Orioles sud denly are gunning for the seats. Big Gus Triandos reached them Thursday night with the bases full during a six-run rally in the eighth inning that snapped a tie and powered Baltimore to a 9-3 victory over Detroit. Triundos' grand-slam hom er, his second in five days and fifth of his career, moved the Orioles into sole posses sion of second place in the American league - only one game behind the idle first place Yankees. Strikes Out 12 Rookie Chuck Estrada gain ed his 14th victory against eight losses by allowing only five hits and striking out 12. Washington moved back into fourth place with a 9-0 victory over Kansas City and Boston beat Cleveland, 10-7, in the only other AL game scheduled. In the National league, the Cubs downed the Pirates, 2-1, and the Braves shaved Pitts burgh's lead to 6'j games with a 4-2 win over the Dodg ers. The Giants defeated the Reds, 8-5, while the Phillies and Cardinals were idle. The Senators won their game from the A's with an eight-run rally in the seventh inning during which 13 bat ters went to the plate. Win ner Chuck Stobbs (9-5) and loser Don Larsen (1-9) were locked in a pitching duel, PICKUPS!

Wertz' grand - slam was his third of the year and 16th homer of the season. Williams' homer was his 24th of the campaign and 516th of his career.

Sam Jones, who struck out 11 but gave up 12 hits, evened his record at 14-14 although he needed Johnny Antonelli's help in the ninth.

(UPI Telephoto) Mays Stars as SF Tames Reds By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press International San Francisco - lUM - The Baron of Candlestick Park is Sam Jones, who has won 12 games in the windswept stadi um this season and lost only two. Jones brought his year's record to an even 14-14 Thurs day by staggering to an 8-9 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds, who would have won the game if the second inning had been omitted. The Giants got seven of their runs in that frame, with Willie Mays hitting an inside the park grand slammer off rookie pitcher Claude Osteen. Billy O'Dell (7-9), who de feated the Milwaukee Braves when he last faced them on the road, seeks to make it two in a row tonight when he faces masterful Warren Spahn, 15-7, In a left-handed duel. Although he struck out 11 batters, Jones was well bounced around and gave up 12 hits, eight of them for ex tra bases. After Vada Pinson led off the ninth with a homer, Johnny Antonelll came to Jones's rescue and insured the triumph. "I was feelin' pretty stiff out there." Jones said. "I had good stuff except when I threw three high curves which they hit." Billy Martin, the Reds' storm-tossed second baseman, had a rough afternoon.

The Gianls picked on Os teon, now 0-1, for the four hits and three walks during the seven-run blasting. Bases and Jones accounted for two loaded singles by Ed Bressoud runs before Mays hit one to right center that looked like a routine triple until Martin tried to hypnotize Willie. Martin whacked Jones for a triple in the first inning and scored on Frank Robinson's double. Ed Bailey, who also hit a triple and a double, homered in the third frame to highlight a big day against Jones's slants. Chargers Well-Coached; Should Finish Near Top Editor's Note - The fol lowing is the third of 21 dis patches sizing up the pros pects of teams in the Ameri can Football league and the National Football league. 'THE BUILDITORIUM" 765 SOUTH RIVERSIDE Phone SP 2-6211 By JOE ST. AMANT United Press International Los Angeles (UP!) The new American Football league is an unknown quantity but the Los Angeles Chargers should be well up in the standings at the end of the inaugural sea son. On the basis of pre-scason exhibition games, they look like a well-coached outfit. And there's a reason. In Sid Gill man, they've got a man with a driving determination to wipe out the stigma of his fir ing by the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football league last year after a 2-10 season. And they've got a score of NFL and Canadian league pro veterans - not all of them top notchers to be sure, but at least they've had a few hard knocks. Gillman concedes the AFL caliber of play won't be up to that of the established NFL in the first year, anyway. But that doesn't worry him. He looks for tough competition and feels that the Houston Oil ers have personnel closest to NFL standards, with the Chargers not far behind. Builds Around Quarterback Like any pro coach. Gill man has had to build around ' a quarterback. ! He' ffnt Iti'n .Tack Komn former Occidental college star, and Bobby Clalterbuck. Both of them have kicked around (or been kicked around) in the NFL for a few years. In four NFL years, Kemp understud ied such stars as Y. A. Tittle. Bobby Layne. Charlie Conerly and Tobin Rote. Clatterbuck I watched the old master, Con ' erly. perform for the New I York Giants for four years. So they know how it shouH be ! done. , Gillman is fat at fullback, j He's got Howie Ferguson, a i cruncher for Green Bay for ;six years. And he's got the i prize rookie from Mississippi. Charlie Flowers, so they've got i one win over the NFL. I Has Veteran Scatback Veterans include scatback Ron Waller, who was a rookie of the year with the Rams. At he's trying a comeback and it looks like he'll make it. Gillman also has a fine pass- catching end in Royce Worn- ble, who was with the Balti more Colts for four years. And he's got a top defensive end in Glenn Holtzman, the former Ram who stayed out of foot ball last year and tried to make a living wrestling and movie-acting. "Getting to know you" is the Charger theme song. "In our case. Gillman explains, "we have only one or two boys who have played together before. So when you're depending on a new passer and receivers he never met until he started practice, you have quite a problem." Time should solve that prob lem, Gillman believes, and believes, and adds, "we'll be a contender, and we may win our division." Ex-Champ Seeks Win Tulsa, Okla. -tUPU- Blonde Joanne Gunderson of Kirk land, Wash., held the favor ite's role as the USGA Na tional Women's golf tourna ment headed into the semi final round today at Tulsa Country club. Miss Gunderson, the 1957 USGA champion, moved into the semi-final session with a hefty 7 and 6 victory over Natasha Matson of Wichita, Kan., but it was another Kan san, Jean Ashley, of Chanute, who boosted her into the fore front. Miss Ashley, a willowy 21-year-old schoolteacher, ousted defending champion Barbara Mclntirc of Lake Park. Fla., from the tournament Thurs day, with a clutch eight-foot putt on the 18th. Miss Gunderson was to meet Judy Eller of Old Hick ory. Tcnn., today, while Miss Ashley was paired with Ann Casey Johnstone of Mason City. Iowa. Mrs. Johnstone eleminatcd Curtis Cup team member Anne Quasi of Marysville, Wash.. 2 and 1. Miss Eller, 1957-58 junior champion, advanced to the semi-finals with a 3 and 2 victory over Andrea Conn of Waterloo, Iowa. Crater Grid Team Lacking Reserves Crater High school football coach Leonard Warren said Thursday that the 1960 Comet gridders will field a "pretty good" first team, but will be a little shy on reserve strength. Only 31 prospective foot ball players turned out at Wednesday's first practice session. Included among these, however, were six starters from last year's Comet squad which finished third in the Southern Oregon conference. Coach Warren said that two more members of last year's starting team will return this year, but are unable to attend the first few practices due to summer employment. The returning starters are, Loyal Higgenbotham, quarter back; Larry Ryerson, all-conference guard; Dave Burns, tackle; Wayne Martin, half back or fullback; Tom White, end; Bryson LaCasse, tackle; Harold Twedell, end; and Al Minnick, tackle. Twedell and Minnick are the two players being detained by summer employment. Medford Biggest Threat When asked which team he regarded as being the biggest threat in the Southern Ore gon conference this year, Warren answered: "Medford - no question about it." He said Klamath Falls and Grants Pass will also be tough this year. Judging from the team's first practices this week, War ren said he thinks the team looks "pretty good." He let them run a few plays at the first day of workouts. During the next few prac tices, Coach Warren said he League Leaders Bv United Press Intcri NATIONAL LKAGl'K IHaycr & Club G. AB R. Larkcr.

By OSCAR FRALE1 United Press International Rome - IUPD - You kept wait ing, almost breathlessly, for somebody to turn loose the lions. This was at the opening of the Olympic Games in the valley of the Tiber where, 1,900 years ago, feeding the new believers to the big cats was a favorite pastime. They almost came up with the first martyr of 1960, too. He was a dapper, black haired man who is the Italian minister of defense. Name of Giulio Andreotti. His trouble was that he spoke longer, and a lot less effectively, than one of the original bearers of the word. It was hot. People were sitting on hard wooden seats - much like they did a few miles away at the crumbling Colosseum those mildewed MEDrDj!&,TtrBUWB SIPdDMTS Beanball Could Be Stopped Says Cobb San Francisco - IUPD - The "bean ball" has no place in major league baseball and the current rash of "incidents" could easily be stopped, says Ty Cobb, who played some mighty rough baseball him self, in his day. "We didn't have the so- called bean-ball in my day, Cobb recalled while watching the San Francisco Giants play is little danger of a serious injury. "I don't remember a single incident of fisticuffs caused by the pitcher throwing at the batter in my day," said Cobb, who is convalescing at a Palo Alto hospital from intestin al disorders. "We had a more subtle way of handling a hurler. There were very few bean-ball the Cincinnati Reds. "But the I pitchers then. Dutch Leonard current problem easily could be stopped by having the com missioner or the league presi dents just put a sign on the wall of each club-house. "All the sign has to say is that players will be heavily fined if they throw at a bat ter. And the umpire is to make the report. That would stop them in a hurry." Cobb says that some of the throwing at the heads of play ers can be attributed to the fact that the players now wear helmets - and thus there and Carl Mays were a couple. When they threw at my head, I would drag a bunt down the first base line. "Then when the first base man came in to field it, the pitcher ran over to cover first. And I would run right over the pitcher. He knew the situ ation then." . centuries ago. And they were : being welcomed by the min ister who is president of the Italian organizing committee for the newly-opened XVII Olympiad. Athletes Sit Down Good thing there were no lions. He talked. Athletes, standing at parade rest, simply sat down on the emerald green infield. He talked. People in the stands, sitting down, began to stir restlessly and wish they were standing up. He talked. There was a restless, irri tated shuffling in the cheap seats facing into the sun. These were the gallery gods, the guys who really pay tho freight, and you'd better put it on good for them, Doe. Suddenly, if you looked close, you almost felt as if they were wearing togas. And Avery Brundage, shifting from one foot to another on the podium, seemed to have a laurel wreath, a la Nero, on his balding brow. Fans Register Protest The man talked. Now the gallery gods had had it. They began to clap and hiss. They stamped their feet. You looked hard and you were sure you could see the turned down thumbs. This was, surely, the spot for the lions. Four miles away in the vast stillness of the Colosseum there had to be ghostly growling in the cages. And the voice which droned on, was that the membled prayers of those pitiful pioneers being led out into the sunshine? For the gallery gods were in full cry now. Hail Caesarl Give him the works! It worked as efficiently as it did back in those times just as if Cecil B. De Mille had approved the script. The man quit talking. Maybe he, too, suddenly saw the lions. Micky Wright Grabs Lead in Women's Open Grossinger, N. Y. - IUPII -Mickey Wright of San Diego, Calif., carried a one stroke lead over Marlene Hagge into today's second round of the S7,500 Grossinger Women's PGA Open tournament. Miss Wright scored a par 72 in Thursday's opening ses sion as she fired a 35 on the front nine and had a 37 on the incoming leg. The blonde Californian took a double bo gie five on the par three 11th hole to ruin a sub-par round. Mrs. Hagge of Delray, Fla., bogied the 10th hole and dou ble bogied the 14th to spoil her chances of overtaking Miss Wright. Louise Suggs of Atlanta, Ga., Kalhy Whitworth of Jal. N. M., and Murle MacKcnzie of Webster. N. Y., were dead locked for third place with 74s.
