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.
The Los Angeles Angels
edged out the Boston Red Sox,
4-3, on a ninth-inning homer

A homer by Ernie Banks
and triples by Andre Rodgers

blows for the Chicago Cubs,
who shaded the Cleveland In
dians, 12-11. Bob Buhl was
bounced around for seven
runs in seven innings by the
Indians but' was the winning
pitcher.

when they lost to them, 10-9.

game with a bases-filled single

Dodgers Favored;
May Be Death Kiss
By LEO H. 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

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
