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,

Williams' homer was his 24th
of the campaign and 516th
of his career. Mike Fornieles
(8-3) was the winner and Don
Newcombe (1-3) the loser.
Glen Hobbic of the Cubs

their runs and had the tying
runs on base.
Willie Mays smashed an in-side-the-park
homer with the
bases full to cap a seven-run
second inning rally that
clinched the Giants' victory
over the Reds. Sam Jones,
who struck out 11 but gave
up 12 hits, evened his record

score after hitting a grand -slam, inside-thc-park
home run in the second inning of

when Red second baseman Billy Martin
delayed his throw. The Giants won the

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. Mays

In the third inning, Martin

loaded singles by Ed Bressoud

a routine triple until Martin
tried to hypnotize Willie.
Martin whacked Jones for
a triple in the first inning and

double. Ed Bailey, who also
hit a triple and a double,
homered in the third frame to
highlight a big day against

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."

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

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

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.
