lever-Really-Worried Yankees
Win, End Six-Game Losing Streak
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Wriler
Great si ategist, that Ralph
Houk.
"I figured we'd win one
sometime," he said knowing
ly, working a cigar around
the corners of his mouth so as
to conceal the tongue in his
cheek.
The never - really worried
Yankees finally did win one
Monda;' night, thus ending a
six-game losing streak as well
as some diverse conjecture
that they might be going to
pot.
"I wasn't as concerned as
most people," Houk said, aft
er Ralph Terry won his lUth
with a three-hit 5 0 triumph
over the Cleveland Indians
that increased the Yankees'

American league.
"I realized our pitching
was a bit thin when we went
into Baltimore," Houk added,
referring to the five straight
losses at the hands of the
Orioles. "But we're squared
iaway now."
Terry, the Yanks' No. 1
"stopper" all reason long,
look care of that.
Struck Out Nin
The skinny, 28 -year -old
boyish-looking right-hander
struck out nine, didn't walk

were singles, one by Bubba
Phillips ii. the sixth, one by

Little Change
Of Strong Houston Oilers
(Thii is another in a series
on the preseason prospects of
professional football teams for
1962.)
By THAVIS HUGHS
Houston, Tex. - IITII - The
Houston Oilers have had a
biK turnover in head coaches
but there has been little
change in the devastating at-
Rht
utball 1 e a g
championship:
Frank (Pup) Ivy is the Oil
ers' third head coach in as
many seasons. He replaces
Wally Lemm, who moved into
Ivy's vacated post with the
St. Louis Cardinals of the
National Football league in an
unusual man-tor-man shift.
Ivy may find it hard to
match the record compiled by
Lemm, who o n c e was Fop's
assistant with the Cardinals.
Lrtntn came out of retirement
after the Oilers floundered
last season and guided them to
10 consecutive victories and
the league championship.
However. Ivy has inherited
a wealth of talent. ,
Veteran quarterback George
Blanda and his young under- j
study, Jacky Lee, teamed to
break football's 4000-yard,
passing harrier last season.
They riddled opponents' de
fenses for 4.545 yards.
Blanda, 34. is starting his
Ltth pro season. He was the
league's player of the year
in lotil. He completed 52 pet
cent of his passes for 3,y:t0
yards and kicked H4 of M5
extra points and IS field
'goals, the longest of which
j was a record 55 yards.
Frstier Hat Chsnc I
Charles Fraier may have
, the best chance of the rookies
I trying to break into the Oil
; ers' offense. The sprinter from
Texas Southern ran on the
V S 4il().incter relay team that
set tiie world record in llltil
at Moscow. He tried out for
split end and flanking back
and caught an 82-yard scoring
I pass from L.i; in an August,
ton and Al Kaline. The Bos
ton outfielder also drove in
another run with a third in
ning double off loser Hank
Aguirre, whose record is
12-6.
Gene Conley went 6', in
nings for his 13th victory
against 11 losses. Rookie Dick
Radatz came to Conlcy's aid
in the seventh when the Ti
gers scored their last two
runs and allowed only one
hit the remainder of the way.

Trailer License
Change Proposed
Salem - IUPII - Purchasers
of -used house trailers won't
have to pay license fees of
previous owners if a bill rec
ommended . by the Oregon
Motor Vehicles Department is
approved.
The recommendation was
made to the Legislative High
way Interim Committee.
At present, trailers can be
sold and their titles trans
ferred even though not all
back fees are paid. New
owners must pay up.
The department recom
mended that title changes be
made only after all fees are
paid.
Also recommended was a
change in the licensing of
used car lot dealers. The pro
posed bill would require that
every lot operated under a
different name have a seper-
ate license. Now a dealer can
get free licenses for supple
mental lots after he has one
license.
The department asked for
legal authority to seek com
plete driving records of new
drivers license applicants who
were formerly licensed in
other states.
The Traffic Safety Com
mission recommended that no
changes be made in laws re
lating to minors found with
liquor in their cars. Edward
Warmolh, safety commission
executive secretary, said pres
ent legislation is adequate.

Recover After 6-6 Road Trip
By HAL WOOD
UPI Sports Writer
San Francisco - (UPD - The
hobbling San Francisco Gi
ants, counted out of the Na
tional league race 10 days ago,
are right back in there today
-ready, able and eager to tan
gle with all comers.
"We play Milwaukee, Cin
cinnati and Los Angeles dur
ing the next 10 days." said
Manager Alvin Dark as he
rested at his home after a
strenuous 6-6 road trip. "But
we are going to take them one
at a time.
"Against Milwaukee we'll
pitch Juan Marichal, Billy
O'Dell and JacK Sanford."
The mound staff looks
strong these days, but there
are holes in the rest of the
lineup. Willie McCovey still is
limping; and the return of
Jimmy Davenport to third
base is a question mark.
"I used Willie for a couple
of innings in the Sunday game
at Philadelphia," said Dark.
"But he's still limping. I don't
know.

Takes Pill Overdose

pital early today in serious
condition caused by an over

Miss Morgan. 43, was found

overdose.''

Pennant Race Again
"And I don't know yet
when Davenport will be able
to return, to third base. We'll
have to see."
Willie Mays was given a
rest Sunday to see if he can
get his batting swing back in
the groove. Earlier in the
week, second baseman Chuck
Hiller was given a rest after
running into a series of er
rors. "I'm sure the rest will do
them both good," said Dark.
"They'll both play better start
ing tomorrow."
Dark had nothing but praise
for Orlando Cepeda, his baby
bull first baseman. Orlando
was in a slump and Dark
fined him two weeks ago for
failing to run out a grounder.
But in the last six games he
has batted an even .600 with
13 hits in 26 trips to the plate,
with six homers, three dou
bles and 11 runs batted in.
"He was phenomenal in
that Philadelphia series," said
Dark, "rte was a one-man
wrecking crew. I never saw
anything like it. I've never
seen one man carry a ball
club the way he did."
The catching situation has
boiled down to two young
sters, Tom Haller, a left-handed
swinger; and John Orsino,
who hits right-handed.
"I'll alternate them, de
pending upon the pitcher,"
said Dark. "And I'll use Ed
Bailey on occasion."
The fine work of the two
youths mostly has relegated
Bailey to the bench for pinch
hitting duties.
The Giants go into the Mil

Meanwhile, ticket business
at Candlestick park was'
booming. The Giants already .
have drawn 1,240,000 this sea
son. "We expect about 40,000 to
50,000 for the three-game ;
ries with Milwaukee," said '
ticket manager Pete Hoffman.
"And for the week end series "
with the Reds there'll be an-"
other 90,000-95,000."
With an unusual hot wave
hitting the Bay area, it is pos
sible that Hoffman is being a"
bit conservative with his fig--ures.
And the attendance for the'
Red series, of course, depends
a lot on how the Giants do "
with Milwaukee. The last time
they met, the Braves wort :'
three out of four. ; "

working on a four-game win
