SECTION B PAGES 1 to 8 SIPOTTrg MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1962 San Diego Tops Spokane With Homer Hurricane Br JAMES BOW UPI Sportt Writ.r The San Diego Padres un leased a hurricane of home runt in the Pacific Coast league Tuesday night, but league-leading Salt Lake City and second-place Seattle were left out at sea. The third-place Padres de feated the Spokane Indians, 9-1, and it was the quality, not the quantity of home runs that piled up the score. Jesse Gonder slammed a three-run homer in the first inning, Bobby Klaus hit a grand slam in the third and Ken Walters cracked a solo home run in the fifth. Pitcher Jim Maloney kept Spokane in line with only four hits. In other league games Tuesday, Vancouver edged Seattle, 2-1, and Hawaii downed Salt Lake City, 8-3. The Portland Beavers slipped by the Giants at Tacoma, 6-5. The Salt Lake City Bees could have used some of San Diego's home run power at Honolulu. Salt Lake's Max Alvis got his seventh homer of the sea son with a 400-foot drive to deep center, but it was only one against three home runs for Hawaii. Eddie . Haas powered a DITMAR SEEKS JOB Philadelphia -TOPli- Art Dit mar, whose poor showings in the 1960 World Series may have hastened the departure of Casey Stengel from the New York Yankees, is being given a -chance to return to the majors by the 71-year-old pilot of the New York Mets. Stengel agreed to "look over" Ditmar for a few days here after the 33 - year - old right hander telephoned Casey for a job. If Ditmar is added to the Met staff, another player must be cut. three-run homer for the Is landers and Hap Richie and Irv Noren hit solo home runs. Pitcher Dick Egan scattered five hits to take the win for Hawaii. In a close game at Tacoma, Dave Ricketts came home on a squeeze bunt by Ric Slider in the top of the ninth for Portland's edge over Tacoma. Charlie Secrest and Gordon MacKenzie hit home runs for the Beavers and Joe Cardenal and John Orsino powered homers for the Giants.

Bases on Balls Damage Angels Los Angeles -WPD- Manager Bill Rigney of the Los Ange les Angels today was ready to start a movement to abolish the walk in baseball after 10 bases on balls Tuesday night gave the Chicago White Sox a 9-5 victory over his club. The Angels collected all the extra base hits in the game but half the men Rigney's pitchers put on base with walks came home to score. In an effort to get a little more control pitching, Rigney named Ken McBride, 4-3, to start tonight in the second game with the White Sox. For Chicago, Ray Herbert, 4-2, is scheduled to make his first appearance of the year against the Angels. Charlie Smith, known to Los Angeles , fans from his days as a rookie third base man with the Dodgers, wield ed the big stick for the White Sox. His three singles drove in four runs, the margin of victory for Chicago.

Musial Brakes Card Plunge By FRED DOWN UPI Sporli Writer Stan Musial has reached another milestone - and typi cally the event meant more to his St. Louis Cardinal team mates than to the great slug ger. The occasion was the 450th homer of Stan's career - a total reached by only five other major leaguers - but its chief value lay in the fact that it finally braked the Cardinals' eight-game plunge out of National league pen nant contention. The homer came in the 11th inning of Tuesday night's game with the Cincinnati Reds and lifted the Cardinals to a 10- 9 victory after they had trailed by eight runs going into the bottom of the sixth inning. Musial had contributed two other hits to the Cardi nals' attack but it remained for him to connect for the pay off blow against reliever Dave Sisler. In what may be his final season, the 41-year-old Musial now Is hitting .317 with six homers and 24 runs batted in. He looks headed for his best season since 1958 when he last batted more than .300. Giants Beat Cubs The San Francisco Giants walloped the Chicago Cubs, 1 1- 4; the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-2, and led, 7-3, when the second game of the twi-night doublehfader was suspended after eight innings, and the Houston Colts defeated the Milwaukee Braves, 7-1, in other NL action. In the American league, the Baltimore Orioles scored a 6-5 victory over the Washing ton Senators; the Kansas City Athletics edged the Minnesota Twins, 4-3, and the Chicago White Sox topped the Los An geles Angels, 9-5. Bob Purkey, seeking to be come the majors' first 10-game winner of the season, carried a 9-1 lead into the sixth in ning only to have the roof fall in. The Cardinals roughed him up for three runs in the sixth and then added five more in the seventh with the key blows a three-run homer by Bill White and a two-run homer by Ken Boyer. Lindy McDaniel, sixth St. Louis pitcher and the only one to go more than 2 23 Innings, shut out the Reds for the last four innings to pick up his second victory while Sisler suffered his second de feat. Billy O'Dell pitched a five hitter and struck out 10 for the Giants, who scored their 12th victory in 13 games. Or lando Cepeda's two-run single in the third inning and a homer by Felipe Alou were the big blows for the Giants. Bob Buhl, tagged for seven runs and nine hits in seven innings, suffered his fourth loss. A homer and double by Willie Davis and Larry Sher ry's strong relief in support of Stan Williams enabled the Dodgers to top the Pirates in their opener. Don Drysdale's eight -hit pitching and four hits by Jim . Gilliam helped the Dodgers to their second game lead when the league rule that no inning can be started after 12:50 a.m. local time caused the suspension. The game will be completed before tonight's scheduled night game. Bob Bruce pitched a seven hitter and struck out 10 in his first complete game in the majors as the Colts moved to within a game and a half of the sixth place Braves. Al Spangler, Norm Larker. Carl Warwick and Bob Lillis had two hits each in the Colts' 13 hit attack. Hits Pinch Homer Pinch hitler Whitey Her zog's seventh - Inning homer with a man aboard was the decisive blow for the Orioles, whose second game with the Senators was rained out. Billy Hoeft, who retired the only batter he faced, picked up the win although Wes Stock and Hoyt Wilhclm followed him to the mound. Ken Retzer hit two homers and Chuck Hin ton one for the Senators. Norm Siebern's two - run fifth - inning homer and the four-hit pitching of John Wy att, Diego Segui and Gordon Jones enabled the Athletics to drop the Twins into fourth place. Camilo Pascual yielded all four Kansas City runs to suffer his third loss against seven wins while Wyatt gain ed his fourth victory. Charlie Smith's third single of the game drove in two runs and sparked a four-run ninth-inning rally that gave the White Sox' Dom Zanni his third win. Bo Belinsky was chased by the White Sox after 2 23 innings but reliever Ryne Durcn was tagged with the loss. Leon Wagner homer ed for the Angels.

Protest Allowed League President Harry Chipman reported that a Cen tral Point protest of its May 25 game with Tru-Mix has been allowed. Decision has not been made as to whether the contest will be continued from point of protest or com pletely replayed. One third of an inning was left when the issue came up. The tussle originally was entered as a 3 to 2 win for Tru-Mix. The incident which led to the protest was this: With runners on second and third base and with two out, a Central Point player hit a ball to the outfield. It dropped between two fielders. The hit ter ran to second and a run scored. However, the hitter thought the ball had been caught and walked off the field. Central Point's third base coach saw him and called time out. Meanwhile, a Tru Mix inficldcr called for the ball and touched second base. The runner, who was in the process of getting back to sec ond base, was called out by tne base umpire. Protest was permitted on the basis that the runner was not forced and should have been tagged.
