2 B WEDNESDAY. JUNE 20. 1962 MKPfOBB Xn, TUTBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON Vaudeville Comes Back To Major League Baseball; Dodgers National Loop Lead To 2 Boost Games By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sport Writer Ever think you'd 3ce vau deville come back? And to baseball, of all places! It did Tuesday, and as they uv in show business, it was easser. Casey Stengel, that fine old trouper, suddenly did a jig at the Polo Grounds . . . Ralph Houk and Billy Hitchcock were set up for a boxing nlove comedy routine in Bal timore . . . and imaginative Jim Picrsoll broke in a brand new act in Detroit. Casey did his jig up the clubhou.e steps with the pub lic address system playing "Happy Days Are Here Again" after the last-place New York Mets snapped a sev en-game losing streak with a 6-5 victory over the Milwau- kce Braves. The boxing gloves were presented to Houk and Hitch cock by a department store as a reminder of the fist fight the two managers almost got Into the last time the New York Yankees met the Balti more Orioles. 'Keep Punching' There was a message with the gloves to each manager: "Keep punching." Houk and Hitchcock traded only smiles at home plate, but then (he Orioles handed the Yankees their fifth straight loss, 3-1, with Brooks Robin con doing most of the damage. Piersnll put on the liveliest how of all as Frank Lary won his first game since April 13 by pitching the Detroit Ti gers to a 5-0 win over the Washington Senators. Jim singled in the sixth inn ing but was left stranded. Even so, he solemnly rounded the bases and then cut over as Lary walked off the mound Suddenly, Picrsall feinted as if to bowl Lary over, then dodged around the startled Tiger pitcher. Previously, while waiting his turn in the on-deck circle, the Senator outfielder walked over to the stands and chatted with a woman fan. Piersall swung at one of Lary's pitches and missed with fhc bases loaded in the seventh, the bat flying out of his hands and landing near the mound. Lary walked over as if to pick it up but left the bat on the ground. The crowed roared as Piersall was forced to go to the mound to retrieve his bat. Caih Paced Tigers That was the kind of night it was. On the more serious side, Lary held the Senators to six hits while Norm Cash paced the Tigers' nine-hit attack with his 17th homer. The Minnesota Twins mov ed within half a game of the American league lead with a 9-4 decision over the Chicago White Sox as the Boston Red Sox were beating the first place Cleveland Indians, 4 2. The Los Angeles Angels took over third place with a 7-4 win over Kansas City. In the National league, the Los Angeles Dodgers in creased their lead to 2'At games by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2. The Houston Colts subdued the San Francisco Giants, 6-4, the Cincinnati Reds edged the Pittsburgh Pirates, 2-1, and the Chicago Cubs clipped the Philadelphia Phillies, 9-5. Robinson paced the Orioles to their fifth straight victory when he hit his 11th homer in the sixth inning to break a 1-1 tie with the Yankees and then singled home an insur ance run in the eighth to kayo loser Ralph Terry. Chuck Estrada was the winner with help lrom Jack Fisher in the ninth The Twins used four home runs to wallop the White Sox. Harmon Killcbrew tag ged loser Juan Pizarro for a two-run blow in the first in ning after which winning pitcher Jim Kaat, Vic Power and Bob Allison also hit homers. Bill Monbouquette limited the Indians to four hits to gain his fifth victory for the Red Sox. Rubin Gomez, making his first start for the Tribe, was nudged for 10 Hits, including Carroll Hardy's two-run double and a homer by Frank Malzone. Four homers by the Angels proved too much for the A's. Felix Torres, Leon Wagner, Lee Thomas and winning pitcher Ken McBride each connected for Los Angeles to hand John Wyatt his fifth defeat. The Mets turned back the Braves on Roger Craig's seven-hit pitching and homers by Joe Christopher and Gene Woodling. Ed Mathews homered for Milwaukee. IMS J . 'J Frank Howard scored the winning run for the Dodgers against the Cardinals on Lin dy McDaniel's mental lapse. Howard led off the seventn with a double off loser Curt Simmons and moved up on a sacrifice. McDaniel then took over and induced pinch hitter Duke Snider to hit a grounder right back at him. Instead of holding Howard at third, Mc Daniel threw Snider out at first and that broke the tie. Howard also homered with one on in tne iirsi inning to help Don Drysdale post his 11th victory. Farrell Saves Colts Dick Farrell struck out Felipe Alou and Jim Daven port with the bases full in the ninth to save the colts' vic tory over the Giants. Farrell took over for winner Dave Giusti with one out in the ninth. Bob Lillis drove in three runs for the Colts and Hal Smith homered. Billy O'Dell was the loser. Jerry Lynch's tie-breaking single in the eighth inning gave the Reds their decision over the Pirates and also en abled them to take over third place from Pittsburgh. Jim Maloney held the Pirates to three hits in seven innings and was the winner. Trailing 5-3 in the ninth, the Cubs hammered five Phil lies' pitchers for six runs after rookie Dennis Bennett had held them to five hits and struck out 11 men over the first eight innings. Pinch hitter Bob Will's two -run double tied the score in the ninth and Andre Rodgers then drove in what proved to be the winning run. Dave Ger- rard was the winner.

The full support of the may or's office was pledged to the committee Tuesday by Sam Yorty at the executive board meeting. Keen competition with New York City was forecast by the committee president and member-at-large, Bill Henry, who warned the eastern city was seeking the 11164 trials to be staged In conjunction with its contemplnted World's Fair. Henry, former sports editor and now a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, pointed out that Los Angeles had guar anteed the V. S. Olympic com mittee S350,Ono plus all radio and television revenues to hold the trials here. New York also was understood to be matching the offer, he said. and men on first and third. His first official act was to walk Orlando Cepeda by mis take. But then Felipe Alou, the league's leading hitter at game time, strurk out for the second time in the clutch and Jim Davenport also fanned to end things.

Torre Playing Second Fiddle By DICK JOYCE New York -J6TO- Joe Torre, who at the tender age of 20 became the Milwaukee Brav es' regular catcher, is playing second fiddle these days - but that's because it's to the best backstop in the National league. "Del Crandall is the No. 1 catcher in the league," says Braves' manager Birdie Teb bctts. "Otherwi.oe, Torre would be right in there." That's the way Torre fig ures it too. "I sure miss playing regu lar," said the husky, dark skinned Torre, who batted a respectable .276 with 10 home runs and 42 runs-batted-ln in 113 games as a rookie last sea son after being rushed up from Louisville to replace the injured Crandall. Would he rather be playing every day in the minors? "Definitely not," he an- siPaDMirs swered. "I'm learning a lot just by sitting on the bench and I do get into my share of games. I've proved that I could make it in the big leagues and I want to stay here."
