2 B- Bone Break Sidelines Duke Snider Br ALEX KAHN Los Angeles 1UPD Manager Walt Alston turned to his ' bench today to replace vet eran Duke Snider in the Los ' Angeles Dodgers' lineup Until the famed slugger recovers ' from a broken right elbow. The Dodgers' manager termed Snlder's loss for at least a month a serious blow to the team picked in a United Press International poll as the club most likely to win the National league pennant. A temporary blow came in - the announcement second baseman Charlie Neal would be sidelined three or four days with a bad left knee, Hit Br Pitch Snider was hit on the el bow with a pitched ball thrown by St. Louis hurler ' Bob Gibson Monday night, Although he suffered the in- Jury in the fifth inning, Snider continued in the game . for two. more innings before ' he reported his elbow was starting to stiffen. It was not until Tuesday morning when Dr. Robert Kerlan X-rayed . the elbow : that the . fracture was dla- covered. " :- The orthopedic specialist said the earliest Snider could start throwing or swinging a bat would be three weeks and It ' might be several more weeks before he could start playing again. Snider, seventh-on the all time home run list with 370 circuit blows, has been count ed on by Alston to provide the Dodgers with the power ' that his youngsters have not yet been able to supply, Dick Stuart Challenged By Jeers Br RUDY CERNKOVIC - Pittsburgh -ttlPB- The first syllable of Dick Stuart's sur name rhymes with boo but the Pittsburgh Pirate first baseman welcomes the double oh leer as a challenge. The opening day crowd at Forbes Field Tuesday should be credited with an assist for the 6-3 victory the world champions fashioned . against the Chicago Cubs. For Stuart believes the vocal' disapproval from the . crowd Is his best pep talk. He tint asserted this last year when he hit three homers In : ent night,' .-' "When the fans boo me, then I know I'm noticed," ' Stuart laughed after the opener. "The boos don't both er me, so long as I can hit few." . ' Clutch Blows Stuart delivered two clutch blows to assure the victory but ha hinted the second hit was frustrating. His 410-foot triple to center In the fifth Inning off starter Dick Ells worth broke 2-3 tie and rve the Pirates a S-2 lead, When the Cubs tied the score In the seventh, Stuart re sponded with run-producing single in the Pirates' half of the inning to wrap up the ; game. Lick Groat and Roberto ' Clement hit back to back singles in the seventh to greet reliever and loser Mel Wright, Then Stuart strode to the . plate amid catcalls and boos, He took powerful swing but the ball barely caught the . end of the bat and travelled about hundred feet. Groat scampered home with the run ' that put the Pirates ahead ' and BUI Mazeroski added In surance by a squeete bunt that brought in the final Pi rate run. "I tried to murder that curve ball and all I could come up with was that little single," Stuart remarked.

APRIL IS. 1981 Dodgers To Nose By FRED DOWN United Press International Manager Walt Alston is dis covering that his Los Angeles Dodgers have plenty of muscle to go with their hustle. . Lack of long . ball strength was the weakness that Alston feared would be the Dodgers No. 1 problem this season but the evidence of the first week of the National league cam paign is that Los Angeles has surprising punch to go with its speed and pitching. In eight games they've hit a total of 11 homers and they've been distributed liberally through out the lineup. , ... , The Dodgers won a battle of homers Tuesday night when they downed the St. Louis Car dinals, 5-4 and enabled the Cincinnati Reds to take over first place via their 9-1 shel lacking of the San Francisco Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Chicago Cubs, 5-3, and the Minnesota Twins top ped the Boston Red Sox, 3-2, for their fifth win in six games in the only other ma jor league action. Frank Howard smashed a two-run homer and Johnny Roseboro and Wally Moon also homered to account for four of the Dodgers' five runs. The blows offset somewhat shaky Los Angeles pitching in addition to two homers by St. Louis' Ken Boyer. Roger Craig received credit for the Dodgers' fourth vic tory in eight games although he was followed to the mound by rookies Jim Golden and Ron Perranoski. Perranoski took over in the eighth inning and protected the one-run mar gin through : the ' last two frames. The Reds went into first place behind a six-hit pitch ing performance by Bob Pur- key, who raised his lifetime advantage over the Giants to 12-8. Purkey, winning his sec ond game of the young season, struck out four and walked only three.

Southern Oregon, with two hits apiece coming oft the bats of Kerm McLemore, Jess Munyon, John Cook and El don Francis, scored single runs In the first, second, fourth and eighth Innings. Intermittent rain and snow showers turned into hall and forced a half-hour delay of the contest In the sixth Inning with the Raiders leading 3-0. After play resumed, Southern Oregon pushed across a fourth tally In the eighth while Vog ler continued to set the Tech men down, retiring the last nine batters In order.

Dark Sticks San Francisco -flIPD- Man ager Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants is sticking with Billy Loes even if his right-hander was stuck last night by a solid lacing at the hands of Cincinnati. "Loes pitched all right," Dark said after the Reds climbed back to the top of the National league by down ing the Giants 9-1. "Some balls fell in for hits that might have been outs. I thought he threw well." Jack Sanford was slated to pitch for San Francisco today against Jay Hook of the Reds with each right-hander looking-for his first decision of the year. ' There was to be one switch in the San Francisco lineup. Dark said that he will give shortstop Ed Bressoud a rest and send Jose Pagan in the position.
