Most front offices would have torn apart a team that won a world championship in 1960 and then collapsed into l sixth-place finish in 1961. General Manager Joe Brown, however, decided it wasn't time to panic and placed his 1962 hopes in the hands of the men who brought the Pirates a world champion Ihip in 1960. He isn't sorry - not yet, at least. The Pirates ran their win ning streak to eight games with a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies Thurs day night and that means they have broken the club mark for a season's fastest start set by the 1938 Pirates and are within two games of the mod em major league record of 10 straight wins to open a season set by the 1955 Brook lyn Dodgers. Bill Mazeroski, Bill . Vir don, Dick Groat and Dick Stuart had two hits each in the Pirates' latest victory. Al McBcan went five innings to gain credit for the win with Jack Lamabe finishing.

Stan Musial drove in three runs with two singles and Ken Boyer and Curt Flood homered for the Cardinals who dealt the winlcss Mets their seventh loss in a row. Musial's two hits boosted him into a second-place tie with Babe Ruth for total bases with 5,793 - trailing only Ty Cobb's 5,863. Rookie Ray Washburn was the winning pitcher. Homers by Duke Snider and Willie Davis and Ron Perranoski's clutch relief of Sandy Koufax gave the Dodg ers their victory over the Reds, whose three-game win ning streak went by the boards. Koufax won his sec ond game and Moe Drabow sky lost his second. Juan Marichal yielded two homers to Eddie Mathews that cost him a total of five runs but won his second game on the wings of a five-run fifth- Pick A Size . . . Pick A P rice . . .

Baseball Players Called To Military Reservist Duty Might Be Released By JOE SARG1S UPI Sports Writer The New York Yankees are ready to welcome soldier Tony Kubek back with open arms, but it hardly figures to make much difference in their drive to the American league pennant. The Baltimore Orioles, though, expected by many ob servers to make the strongest challenge for the AL flag, concede their chances are vastly improved with the im minent return of Army re servists Steve Barber, Ron Hansen and Barry Shetronc. Joe Brown Favored Las Vegas, Nev. - lUPK Lightweight boxing champion Joe Brown was rated an 8-5 favorite today to whip Carlos Ortiz in their 15-round title fight Saturday night.

Dr. Donald Romeo, on be half of the Nevada athletic commission, examined Brown and said he shows no trace of a tonsil infection which caus ed a postponement of the title fight from its original date Feb. 24. The Saturday night bout will be televised nationally (ABC-TV) at 7 p.m. (PST). Illinois Ladder Working Well Poriland-Sleelhcad trout In the Illinois river found the Illinois falls no longer a stum bling block in their upstream migration to the spawning beds. The recently completed Il linois falls fish ladder proved a great attraction this winter and the big scagoers moved past their old barrier without a hitch in their upstream jour ney. Game commission biolo gists report that steclhcad moved through the ladder and past the falls at all water stages. Anglers fishing below the falls-long a steclhcad and sal mon concentration point as the fish waited for proper water flows-found steclhcad fishing quite a bit tougher this winter. However, biolo gists checked abnormal num bers of steclhcad in upriver sections making up for the re duced catch in the normally nroductive area below the falls. The Illinois fish ladder was completed late last fall by the game commission at a cost of around $83,000. altend an Oregon college.

Legion forms will be sent out from All this came about Thurs day with the disclosure by the Army that some-and rj's sibly all-of the 20 major league baseball players sum moned to duly as military re servists last fall may be able to rejoin their clubs in May on grounds that they hold sea sonal jobs. According to the edict, such stars as Kubck, Barber and Hansen and Jim (MudcaO Grant of the Cleveland Indi ans are eligible for release ahead of the August date set for reservists generally by President Kennedy. An Army spokesman, who caut i o n e d that each individual case will be determined on Us own merits, said that professional baseball players fall in the same category as other sea sonal employees such as school teachers and farm workers. There is, however, no guar antee that applications for re lease in May will be granted For one thing, the player's commanding officer must tcrmine that his release will not seriously impair military effectiveness of the unit which he is assigned.
