WHL Standings
Bit Deceiving
United Press International
Tlie Western Hockey
league's Northern division
standings show two teams tied
' Xor first and two tied for
third, but appearances arc a
' trifle deceiving.
Both Vancouver and Seattle
have 70 points after Van
couver ran roughshod over
Edmonton 7-2 Tuesday night
in the only WHL action.
But Vancouver has one big
advantage over Seattle, for it
has played one less game.
With five days left In the
season, that solitary contest
looms larger.
1 Seattle hosts Calgary and
Vancouver while Vancouver
faces Portland, Spokane and
Seattle.
' The apparent third place tie
is much more lop-sided.
Both Edmonton and Cal
gary have 48 points, but Ed
monton has only a contest loft
at Calgary while the Stamped
ers also play Portland and
Seattle before hosting the
Flyers.
Rocky ' Columbo, former
professional boxer from New
York, is a slight favorite to
win the Pacific coast junior
heavyweight champio n s h i p
when he meets Wild Bill Sav
age in the main event of Pro
moter Elton Owen's all-star
wrestling card at Medford
armory tomorrow night.
The program starts at 8:15
p.m. and doors will open an
hour earlier.
Both men are exceptionally
fast for heavyweights but Co
lumbo s cleverness and his
ability to take a beating and
come back give him the edge
in the match. - -
The bout will be Savage's
first defense of the crown
which he won in a gruelling
scrap with Nick Kozak here
last Feb. 21. They will go for
an hour or two out of three
falls.
Two supporting matches
have been arranged by Owen.
The semi-windup will see
Jack Dalton clash with Cow
boy Bob Boyer and the open
er pits Jim Dalton, Jack's
younger brother, against
classy Ricky Hunter.

Hirsch, assistant to Ram Presi
dent Daniel Reeves. A brief
onference followed, and
within an hour after the plane
landed, Baker was signed to a
1963 contract.
No terms were disclosed,
but it was presumed the 22-year-old
left-hand passer - ono
of the most honored collegiate
football players in history -
received a healthy bonus from
the National Football league
team.

."I've always followed the
Rams," said Baker, who added
he was interested in living in
the West. His home is in Port
land. 1

to the Rams. "When they did,
I was anxious to play for
them."

Do Better
Casa Grandei Ariz. -IUPU-
The San Francisco Giants are
doing better these days in
spring training - they're not
losing by such big scores.
The Los Angeles Angels
made it a clean sweep of the
befuddled National League
champs Tuesday at Phoenix in
a 4-2 battle.
Jack fisher probably ce
mented his spot as manager
Alvin Dark's fifth starter
when he hurled eight score
less and spectacular innings.
In the ninth, the desert sun
got to him and he walked
three men in a row.
Manager Alvin Dark pulled
out the rotund right hander
and put in Danny Rivas. Bob
Sadowski lost Rivas' first
pilch over the right field fence
and a quartet of cherubs pa
raded across the dish.
The Giants outhit the An
gels 11-9 as Jose Pagan got
three safeties and Jim Daven
port and Tom Haller two.
San Francisco took on their
Tacoma farm team here today
Although manager Al Dark
failed to make any cuts Tues
day as expected, it was
thought that a few squad
members might not be on the
bus back to Phoenix tonight.
Dark met with his troops
before Tuesday's game and
said that he would go all out
for victories henceforth.
"But," he added, "I'm still go
ing to give players days off
and chase them out of the
park.
"However, with what we
have available we'll make the
moves that are based on win
ning. Conditioning is over. '

Kralick Goes Nine
As Twins Win 2-0
By DICK JOYCE
UPI Sports Wrlt.r
Manager Sam Mele, who
guided the Minnesota Twins
to a surprising second place
finish in the American league
race last season, is whipping
his pitching staff into shape
for another crack at the world
champion New York Yan
kees.
Southpaw Jack Kralick be
came the second Minnesota
pitcher to pitch a full nine
innings Tuesday in blanking
the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, on
six nits. Just last Saturday,
the Twins' other top left
hander, Jim Kaat, went the
route against the Philadelphia
Fhlllles.
No other major league team
has had two pitchers go all
the way this spring. In fact,
only three other pitchers
Johnny Fodres of the Los An
geles Dodgers, Paul Brown of
the Phils and Gordon Seyfried
of the Cleveland Indians-have
gone the distance during the
exhibition season.
Kralick, who pitched a no-
hitter last year, scattered four
hits in eight innings Tuesday
before weakening with two
out in the ninth inning. Jim
Gentile and Joe Gaines sin
gled but Kralick got the last
batter on a ground out. Vic-
Power's first inning home run
off Robin Roberts and Earl
Battey's sacrifice fly in the
sixth provided for the Twins'
runs.
Giants Los. Anoth.r '
The San Francisco Giants,
who came close to beating the
Yankees in the World Series,
suffered their fourth straight
defeat to the Los Angeles An
gels Tuesday, 4-2. Bob Sadow-
ski's grand slam homer in the
ninth Inning came off rookie
Danllo Rivas. Jack Fisher
who had pitched eight score
less innings, walked three An
gels in the ninth before giv
ing way to Rivas.
The Dodgers and Phils both
unleashed their powerful
hitting attacks Tuesday. The
Dodgers ripped the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 19-6, and the Phils
pummcled the St. Louis Car
dinals, 16-8.
In other games, the Chicago
White Sox tripped the New
York Mets, 2-1; the Detroit
Tigers downed the Yankees,
2-1: the Milwaukee Braves
beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-5
and Houston Colts clipped the
Chicago Cubs, 6-4; the Indians
bopped the Boston Red Sox
5-3. and the Kansas City Ath
letics defeated the Washing
ton Senators, 7-6.
Bill Skowron and Dick Men
hit home runs in pacing the
Dodgers 20-hit attack. Tommy
Davis drove home five runs
for Los Angeles while south
paw Sandy Koufax pitched
seven innings for the Dodgers,
striking out nine and giving
up 10 hits.
Balis Three-Run Homer
Johnny Callison belted a
three-run homer and Don
Demeter hit a solo homer as
the Phils scored four runs in
the seventh inning and seven
in the eighth.
Ron Hansen s two-run sin
gle beat the Mets, who, never
theless, received four score
less innings of pitching from
Carl Willey, recently acquired
from the Braves. Al Kallne's
homer and the seven-hit pitch
ing of Don Mossi and Terry
Fox led the Tigers to victory.
Although outhit, 16-5, the
Braves capitalized on Ken
Hunt's wildness to beat the
Reds. Hunt, a rookie sensation
two years ago but relegated
to the minors last year, walk
ed eight, made two wild pitch
es and contributed an error
before leaving in the fifth.
Houston rallied for four
runs in the ninth and with
stood a Chicago rally behind
Larry Ycllen's clutch relief
pitching.
Four doublcplays helped the
Indians overcome the Red
Sox. Seyfried picked up the
victory and hit a homer.
Rookie Dick Green hit a

The Beavers picked up five
first place votes and a total
of 274 points.

Snider Pulled
Back From List
Vero Beach, Fla. - (UPD -
Duke Snider was dangled on
the Los Angeles Dodgers'
waiver list Tuesday but Dod
ger general manager E. J.
(Buzzie) Bavasi pulled the vet
eran slugger back before the
New York Mets or Yankees
could take a big bite.
Duke, 36, was a popular
hitting star with New York
fans during his 1949-1957 stay
in Brooklyn and both New
York clubs claimed him on
waivers.
But Bavasi withdrew him
from the list Tuesday and said
he wasn't so sure now that he
wanted to dispose of Snider,
who has to buck a youthful
and talent-loaded squad of
Dodger outfielders to get into
the lineup.
Bavasi told Mets general
manager George Weiss last
Wednesday that he would con
sider a deal for Snider "with-
n the next 10 days." "The 10
days won't be up until Satur
day," Bavasi said Tuesday.
'Until then, I have no further
comment."

For Boston
United Press International
The first round playoffs of
the National Basketball asso
ciation turned out just fine
for the Boston Celtics, but
they could have been better
for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Eastern division cham
pion Celtics take on the Cin
cinnati Royals Thursday night
at Boston in the first game of
a sectional final and the West
ern division champion Lakers
swing into action against the
St. Louis Hawks at Los An.
geles Sunday. Both best-of-
seven series will determine
the playoff finalists.
Big "O" Paces Royals
Cincinnati, led by Oscar
Robertson's 32 points, defeat
ed the Syracuse Nationals,
13.1-127, in overtime and Bob
Pettit's 35 points paced St.
Louis to a 104-100 victory over
the Detroit Pistons in Tues
day night's climactic first
round games.
The Celtics beat the Royals
nine times in 12 games during
the regular season, so were
pulling for them to oust the
Nats, who split in 12 games
with the world champions.
The Lakers had trouble
with the Hawks during the
regular season, beating them
only seven times in 12 games.
Detroit, on the other hand,
lost to the Lakers 11 of 12
meetings.
"All the way to LA'' the
Royals shouted in the dressing
room as champagne corks
popped, figuring they could
get by Boston and L.A. would
win the Western title.
