Leave it to a carload of
lefthanders like Johnny Po-
dre, Mike McC&rmick and
Bill Henry to cause a three
: way traffic jam that now has
the National league race all
snarled up.
These three southpaws have
produced a real fender-bend
er up front where the league
' leading San Francisco Giants,
. second place Los Angeles
Dodgers and third-place Cm-
cinnati Reds find themselves
bumper to bumper only 1V4
' games apart.
Let's take Podres first be-
; cause he looks like the ring'
leader with a 9-0 record.
Fourth Straight Victory
' Re pitched the Dodgers to
' their fourth straight victory
- Wednesday night with a five-
hitter that beat the Phila
.delphia Phillies, 6-0. Ron
I Fairly also helped send the
Phils down to their ninth
straight defeat by driving in
four runs with a homer and
; triple.
McCormlck did his share,
. too.
He. pitched a three-hitter
; for San Francisco, struck out
.: 10 and rapped loser Bob
: Friend for a two-run single
"s in a 3-0 victory over the Pitta-
: burgh Pirates. Mccormick
: now 3-1, thus kept the Giants
game in front of the menac
ing Dodgers
, Unlike Podres and McCor-
' mick, Henry wasn't the win
; ning pitcher In Cincinnati
3-2 decision over St.
, Louis, but he certainly nailed
, down the Reds' ninth straight
; victory in style by entering
, the game in the ninth inning
1 and striking out the side,
Joey Jay Wins . .
The victory went to right-
nander Joey Jay, who yielded
, all six of the Cardinals' hits
; during the seven Innings he
) worked. Marshall Bridges
neid the Cards hltless in the
eighth and then Henry did
his bit in the ninth. Vada
Pinaon hit tv,n.min hnmAi
off loser Curt Simmons and
Chlco Cardenas singled home
the decisive run In the third
inning.
Milwaukee capitalized on
Don Zimmcr's ninth' Inning
error with the bases full to
hand Chlcaarn Id alvth atr.laht
loss, 3-2. Lew Burdette pitch
ed a four-hitter for his second
victory while Don Eliton suf
fered his first loss after four
wins. Shortstop Roy McMil
lan committed three errors
but also collected three of the
Braves' eight hits, Including
home run. . .'. ;, , ,
The Detroit Tigers stayed
three games ahead In the
American league -with a .7-1
triumph over the Washington
Senators, and the second-
place New York Yankees de
feated the Kansas City Ath
letics, 9-4. Cleveland climb
ed into a third place tie with
an 8-2 win over Chicago in
11 Innings; Boston downed
Los Angeles, 3-2, and Min
nesota beat Baltimore 10-6,
Pitches Five-Hitter
Jim Bunning led the Tigers
to their 18th victory In 24
games with a five-hitter
against the Senators. Loser
Ed Hobaugh was routed in the
second Inning when Detroit
clinched the outcome with a
four-run rally. Bunning struck
out seven in bringing his rec
ord to 2-2,
The Yankees ' hammered
loser Bud Daley and two re
lievers for five runs in the
eighth Inning to break a 4-4
tie with the A's. Tex Cleveng-
er 3-1 picked up his first vic
tory for the Yankees, who ob
tained him from the Angels
on ' Monday. He relieved
Ralph Terry in the sixth and
yielded one hit the rest of
the way. Elston Howard and
Bill Skowron each collected
three hits. Norm Siebern
homered for Kansas City.

Covington
Draws Life
In Majors
By JOE 8ARQI8
United Press International
It looked like the end of
the major league trail today
for such veterans as George
Crowe, Willie Jones and Joe
Ginsberg, but Wes Covington
drew a "life" with the Chi
cago .White Sox.
Crowe and Ginsberg were
among a group of players
sent to the minora Wednes
day and Jones was given his
outright release as the 18 ma
jor league clubs pared their
rosters to the required 25-
man limit. .
Covington, who has been in
an almost continuous fight
with the Milwaukee Braves
front office since Joining the
organisation In 19S2, became
part of the last-minute Jug
gling when the Braves dealt
ihim to the Chicago White
sox ror the S20,ooo waiver
price. -
Two Deals Consumated
Two deals also were con
summated before the Wednes
day midnight deadline. In one,
the Detroit Tigers traded first
baseman Dick Gerncrt to the
Cincinnati Reds for second
baseman Jim Baumer and an
undisclosed amount of cash,
while In the second, the St.
Louis Cardinals sent outfield
er Bob Nieman to the Cleve
land Indians for inflelder Joe
Morgan and an unnamed
player to be assigned later.
The Sfl-year-old Crowe, who
holds the major league ca
reer record of 14 pinch home
runs, was sent outright to the
San Juan Marlins of the In
ternational league by the Cardinals.
Jones. 36. came to the end
of the trail with Cincinnati
after 14 seasons In the ma-
ore during which time he
served with the Phillies and
Indiana as well as the Reds.
The veteran Inflelder hit a
total of 190 homers in the
majors and had a lifetime bat
ting average of .260.

Hawaii Halts Win
String of Seattle
By RAYMOND L. ANDREWS
United Press International
Pacific Coast league pitch
ers went on a four-hit binge
Wednesday night and one of
them snuffed out a 10-game
winning streak for the leauge-
leading Seattle Rainiers,
It was tossed by Tom Baker
of Hawaii as the Islanders
blanked Seattle 2-0 in the
opener of a twin bill. Bob
Heffner returned the favor in
the second game with another
four-hitter and a 3-1 Seattle
victory.
Salt Lake City downed Spo
kane 7-1 and Tacoma took
Portland 3-1 in the other
games. Both, naturally, were
four hitters. The double-
header at Vancouver between
San Diego and the Mounties
was rained out. ,
Baker had all he could han
dle in Earl Wilson who had a
no-hitter working for six in
nings. The Islanders got a run
in that 'inning, however, on
two base throwing error
on Rac Slider s grounder and
two wild pitches. The Island
ers added another in the sev
enth on singles by Ray Jab-
lonski and Jim McManus and
Bobby Prescott's sacrifice fly.
Heffner allowed but feur
singles in the second game and
the Islanders' lone run came
in the fourth on two singles
and two walks.
Seattle got two In the third
and added its final run on the
sixth on Bob Tillman's solo
homer.
Bill Dailey was the four-
hit man for Salt Lake and
only back - to - back doubles
by Curt Roberts and Tim
Harkness in the ninth robbed
him of the shutout.
Salt Lake got three in the
fifth and added four more in
the eighth on a pair of two
run, singles by Max Alvis and
Dailey. Dailey, now 3-2, at
one point retired 18 men in
row. -
The four i hits specialist at
Tacoma wag Ron Herbel and
the only run off him was an
unearned tally In the first
frame.
Tacoma got that back in the
same inning on a double by
Tony Frulio and a single by
catcher John Orsino.
The Giants went ahead in
the second on a run-scoring
single by Frulio and Ralph
Alomar added the final tally
with a solo homer in the third
over the right field fence.
Maids Play Shamrocks
Rogue Valley Dairy Maids
open their Softball season on
Saturday, meeting the defend
ing state i champion Salem
Shamrocks at the Veterans
Admin istration domiciliary
field at White City.
The Dairy Maid scuffle with

team, which had been set for

the muddy condition of the

loop has been announced. Tha
games both will be on Satur
day, one at 2 p.m. and tha

week end but rained out.

Portland Trades
Rookie Goalie
Portland - (BPD - Don Head,
star rookie goalie of the Port
land Buckaroos of the West
ern Hockey league, has been
traded to the Boston Bruins of
the National Hockey league.
Buckaroo General Mana
ger Harry GUckman said
Portland will receive two
players plus the loan of a
goalie for next season.
Head, 27 year - old former
Canadian Olympic goalie, was
named rookie of the year in
the WHL and also was runner
up for the most valuable play
er award.
GUckman said he traded
Head because he learned he
was going to be drafted by an
NHL club.
He said "we are getting
Jack Bionda who played for
Portland on loan this season
plus a player to be named at
the NHL meeting in June."
