, MEDFORDtWTRIBUNB SIPODMirS O'Toole Impressive For Cincinnati Reds United Prett International Add Jim O'Toole to the reasons Grapefruit league ob servers are predicting that the Cincinnati Reds will maKe strong bid this year to re capture the National league pennant tney lost lasi year. The Reds made their run for the 1962 pennant just a bit too late - and one reason was that O'Toole didn't begin to win consistently until mid season. He stood only 4-9 on June 20 but wound up with a 16-13 mark. O'Toole, a 19-game winner when the Reds won the flag in 1961, has been one of the most impressive pitchers of the spring. He went six in nings in the Reds' 6-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday at Vero Beach, Fla., and now has a string of 14 consecutive shutout nings. Blast 13 Hits O'Toole, who yielded four hits, was backed by a 13-hit attack that included a homer by Gordon Coleman and doubles by Don Blaslngame, Chico Ruiz, Wally Post, John ny Edwards and pitcher John Flavin. The New York Mots scored their fifth victory in seven games when they beat the St, Louis Cardinals. Craig Ander son, who had lost 16 decisions in regular N.L. play since last May, tasted victory for the first time in 10 months. Frank Thomas homered for the Mets. Jim Bunning, a 19 - game winner last season, was hit hard .in the early innings but became the first Detroit Tiger pitcher to go the nine inning distance in a 6-1 loss to the Milwaukee Braves. Lew Bur dettcr and Bob Hendley team- ed for a six-hitter for the Braves, who had three-run up risings in the first and third innings. Early Wynn took another firm Btep along the comeback trail as he combined with Ed die Fisher to pitch the Chi cago White Sox to a 3-0 tri umph over the Washington Senators. Wynn, who yielded one hit for the first three innings, has allowed only one run and two hits in his last nine innings. He needs one more major league win to reach the 300-level. Lopes Checks A's Marccllno Lopez yielded only two hits in six Innings and also homered as the Phil adelphia Phillies defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 9-2, and snapped the A's four - game winning streak. Richie Allen also hit a homer for the Phillies while Norm Sicbern homered for Kansas City. Flrst-bas-'inan Joe Pepitone, Bill Skowrun's heir 'apparent, hit two homers and Elston Howard hit one to lead . the New York Yankees to a 7-6 decision over the Minnesota twins. Harmon Klllebrcw belted his first homer of the spring and Bernic Allen also connected for the Twins.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Writer Vero Beach, Fla. - IUPD - The Los Angeles Dodgers are fa vored again and that could turn out to be the same kiss of death that killed them the past .three years. For every year since they won their last National league pennant and World Series in 1959, they have been the choices of the odds makers and have lost. If it should happen again, it could be the end of the road for Manager Walter Alston, whose uninterrupted nine year tenure with the Dodgers is the longest of any manager in the majors. Alston won't even speak about that possibility, but he says his club has a good chance. "We are going to be strong er this year than last," he pre dicted, "but then so are some of the other clubs. This league is so evenly balanced that the team which can go through the season with the least num ber of injuries will win." Koufax Injury Ruinous It was an injury to Sandy Koufax, the speedball south paw, which ruined the Dod gers last year. He had won 14 games when a hand injury forced him to the sidelines in mid-season. He has looked like the Koufax of that first half of 1962 so far In spring train ing. But they lost, too, because they couldn't hit Jeft-handed pitching. So they dealt away one of their starting pitchers, Stan Williams, to get the big right-handed bat of first base man Bill Skowron of the Yankees. To aid Koufax in pitching there are Don Drysdale, who was the leading winner in the majors last season with 25 vic tories, and John Podrcs, a southpaw like Koufax, who won 15 games last year after a bad start. Has Deep Bullpen And Alston has one of the deepest bullpens in the league with Ed Roebuck, 10-2, for right-handed relief and Ron Perranoski, 6-6, for left-handed help. Then there is Jack Smith, a naht-hander, with a 17-7 record at Omaha last year. Another Dodger relief ace, Larry Sherry (7-3) is getting a shot as the fourth starter to go along with Koufax, Drys dale' and Podres. Others in the running for Williams' old job are Bob Miller, who was 1-12 with the Mets last year; Joe Moeller, 6-5 with the Dod gers, and Phil Ortega, 0-2 with the Dodgers. For right - handed hitting power in addition to Skow ron, there will be Tommy Da vis, the league's batting and runs .batted in champ last last year, and Frank Howard, who came on fast after get ting off to a bad start. Tommy Plays Third This year Alston has told Tommy Davis he will play third base, period, and also told Howard he will play left field regularly. Last year, Da vis, who batted .346 with 27 home runs and 153 RBIs, al ternated between the outfield and third base. Howard spent a lot of the first part of the season on the bencli because he is anything but a good glove man, but he hit .296 with 31 HRs and 119 RBIs. In the outfield with Howard will be fleet Willie Davis in center (.285 with 21 HRs and 85 RBIs) and Ron Fairlv (.278 with 14 HRs and 71 RBIs) in right. Last year Fairly spent most of the season playing first base. Along with Skowron and Tommy Davis, one other In field position is more than adequately taken care of by Maury Wills, a good glove man, a switch hitter and the champion one - season base stealer of all times. He had 104 thefts last year to break I This is a piggy bank. Color it yellow. Jj J desi piace to empty it is in an in- M( 1 d)1 S3n8S account at r j MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON the record held by Ty Cobb and will be back at shortstop, of course. ' Versatile Bench It will be either' rookie Nate Oliver, who batted .317 at Spokane last year and has a "can't miss" label on him, or the veteran handyman, Jim Gilliam, at second base. John Roscboro and young Doug Camilli will share the catching duties. Alston has a strong, ver satile bench. Two veterans, Duke Snider and Wally Moon, are with the club for outfield reserve duty although one of them may go in a trade, then there are veterans Don Zim mcr and Daryl Spencer for infield utility with a chance that rookie Ken McMullen .282 hitter at Omaha in 1962, might beat out one of them Moon can play first as well as the outfield. Another han dyman. Lee Walls, can play the infield, the outfield and in a pinch, catch. It's easy to see why the Dodgers are favored again, but remembering the last three seasons and the other contending clubs, including the Giants and Reds, it also is understandable why they might lose again. SOC Host For Track Practice Ashland Track and field will be featured Friday as the Red Raiders of Southern Ore gon college host an informal meet with Southwestern Ore gon and Central Oregon. . The meet will begin at 1:00 p.m. and will include all events contested in the regu lar meets. ; The SOC men met bad weather as they traveled south during spring vacation to join a meet with Sacra mento State college and San ta Clara Youth Village.
