Dodgers Playing Like Club Everyone Thought Could Be By MILTON HICHMAN UPI Sports Writer All those crepe-hangers who were so sure Walt Alston was about to lose his job can march to the blackboard and write 100 times: "How wrong can anyone be?" Alston's job as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers was regarded so precarious two weeks ago that owner Walter O'Malley broke a long silence by giving him a vote of confidence. Ordinarily, such verbal pats on the back too often turn out to be the kiss of death but at the spectacular clip Alston has the Dodgers going now he's even in a position to -throw a few votes O'Malley's way. At long .last, the Dodgers look like the club everyone felt they could be but never really were since 1959 when they won their last National league pennant. Clou In on Giants They have won 6 in a row, 9 of their last 10 and have zipped from seventh place to within one game of the first place San Francisco Giants. They also were the only ma jor league club to sweep a doubleheader Sunday when they beat the New York Mets 1-0 and 4-2 in 13 innings. SECTION B PAGES 1 to MEDFORItfK.TRIBtIT(f SIPCDIKTS MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, MAY 20, 1963 EL Florists Win From Dairy Maids Portland The Erv Lind Florists opened the North west Women's Major Softball league here over the week end with a sweep over the Rogue Valley Dairy Maids.

Barron Triplet On Saturday the Maids gained their lone marker in the sixth inning on an error and a Pat Barron triple. Lind tallied in the fourth inning on hits by Bettina and Seaman and a sacrifice by Jackie Rice. Seaman, who had driven in the fourth frame run, broke up the ball game in the eighth with a hit with one out. An error and walk had put Florists on base. Rice fanned six and Barron two.

Southpaw Sandy Koufax 1 rolled to his sixth victory with a two-hitter in the open er and Frank Howard cracked his seventh homer with one man aboard in the 13th inning of the nightcap. Ron Hunt s fourth inning single and a sixth inning in field single by losing pitcher Roger Craig were the only hits off Koufax in the first game, which really was decid ed in the first inning when Tommy Davis' sacrifice fly ac counted for the only run of the contest. Ron Perranoski blanked the Mets on four hits over the last seven innings to register his sixth win in the nightcap. Howard's homer dealt the first loss of the season to Ken MacKenzie, who had relieved Met starter Al Jackson in the 12th. Phils, Giants Split The Philadelphia Phillies downed the Giants, 3-0, in the first of their two games but San Francisco won the night cap, 6-5. The Cincinnati Reds defeated the St. Louis Cardi nals, 10-6, the Pittsburgh Pi rates thumped the Houston Colts, 5-0, and Chicago and Milwaukie split a doublehead er, with the Cubs winning the opener, 3-2, and the Braves the finale, 8-2. Alou Breaks Slump Cal McLish limited the Gi ants to five hits to gain his second victory for the Phil lies in the opener. Tony Gon zalez clipped loser Jack Fish er for a pair of doubles, the first of which drove in the Phils' first run. Felipe Alou came out of l-for-31 slump with a ninth inning homer than broke up a 5-5 tie and brought reliever Bob Bolin his second victory Ed Bailey also homered for the Giants while Roy Sievers and Clay Dalrymple connect ed for the Phils. The Reds rapped Bob Gib son for all 10 of their runs during the six innings he worked for the Cardinals. Jer ry Lynch and Frank Robinson each knocked in three runs as Joe Nuxhall picked up his third victory and went the distance despite allowing 15 hits. Bob Friend and Bill Mazer oski paced the Pirates to their victory over the Colts, with Friend blanking Houston on nine hits for his fourth win and Mazcroski driving in three runs on two singles. The loser was Dick Farrell, whose record now is 4-4. Dick Ellsworth profited by a three-run Cub rally in the first inning to register his fifth victory in the opener with the Braves. Lew Bur dette (3-5) was the loser even though Hank Aaron connect ed for his 13th homer. Warren Spahn, still going strong at 42, won his sixth game in the nightcap even though tagged for 11 hits, in cluding Jim Schaffer's homer. Eddie Mathews hit his sixth homer and drove in three runs.

Mathews, Schalfer. The series moved to the west coast last Friday and Medford is the third stop on the western phase of the tour after matches Friday at Cor vallis and Saturday at Port land. After the Portland en counters Rosewall had a 9-4 lead on Laver and Gimeno headed Buchholz 8 5. In Sat urday's play Rosewall defeat ed Laver 8-6, 6-2, Buchholz beat Gimeno 8-6 and Rosewall and Buchholz won from Lav er and Gimeno 8-5. Rosewall comes here rec ognized as the best tennis player in the world today. The other three aspire to that honor. Laver is the most re cent of the three to join the pro ranks. He became a play-for-pay netman after sweep ing the 1962 amateur tour nament schedule almost clean from one end of the earth to the other. Rosewall has been in pro competition since 1957. Gim eno joined the ranks in 1959 and Buchholz in 1960.

That's exactly the same sit uation presently exitsting in Joe Cronin's circuit where a mere half-game separates the first five clubs and where the standings look this way: W L Pet. GB Boston 19 13 594 Chicago ....21 15 .583 Baltimore . 21 15 .583 N. Y 18 13 .581 . M K. C 20 15 .571 V4 The log-jam wasn't helped any Sunday when four dou blehcaders ended in spits and none of the leaders could make the least bit of headway against any of the others. The Red Sox had an op portunity to widen their slen der percentage-points lead after clopping the A's 7-3, in the first game of a double- header but lost the nightcap. 9-7. Baltimore won the opener from Chicago, 4-3 then lost a 10-inning nightcap by the same score; the Los Angeles Angeles beat the Yankees, 6-2: but dropped the second game, 10-4; Cleveland defeated Min nesota, 6-4, and lost the fi nale, 7-6, and the Detroit Ti gers winged the Washington Senators, 5-1, in a single game. Frank Malzone drove in five runs in the Red Sox-Athletics opener with two homers and a single that paved the way for Bill Monbouquette's fourth victory. KC reliever Bill Fischer scored his sixth straight victory without a de feat in the nightcap as George Alusik and Ed Charles each hit two-run homers. Strikeout Milestone Robin Roberts struck out the 2,000th batter of his ma jor league career in the Or ioles opening game victory over the White Sox. His vic tim was Junan Pizarro, who suffered his first loss follow ing three straight victories. Roberts allowed five hits in bringing his record to 2-4. Ray Herbert's string of scoreless innings ended at 38 when Oriole catcher John Or sino hit the first of his two homers in the third inning of the second game. Orsino also singled home the tying run in the ninth but Pete Ward's triple won the game for the White Sox in the 10th. Jom Brosnan, recently acquired from the Reds, was credited with his first AL triumph. Albie Pearson's three-run homer and another two-run blast by rookie Bob Perry cased the way for Ken Mc Bride's first game victory All four men have repre sented their countries with distinction in Davis cup play as amateurs and Rosewall and Laver are two of the reasons why Australia has dominated Cup contention. Rosewall and Laver are small men, don't have the big serve of bigger men and are expected to exhibit the rally type action with lots of shot- making which is popular with the fans. Buchholz, 6-1, is des cribed as a hard hitter who plays the big game. Gimeno, while a big man at 6-1 Vi, is said to have exceptional grace and footwork. Watching him is comparable to watching a ballet dancer. Yet, he has a great overhead smash, a good vollcv and forehand. Of Rosewall it is said that "he serves well and is able to bark it up with the best backhand since Budge, a fore hand that is consistent and accurate, and great touch at the net." Laver has deadly fluent, wrist, windmill shots is adept at disguising his in tentions, has near perfect con trol and can hit with topspin underspin or absolutely flat on either backhand or fore Buchholz, 22, Is a sound volleyer and has a wonderful touch at the net. His forehand generates a heavy topspin. He has been called the best young player since Kramer. Rosewall has established himself as the most popular player ot all the touring pros. Last year he won seven out of ight tourneys. Laver in 1962 took the U.S., Wimbledon, French and Australian ama- over the 'Yanks. The Angel right-hander now has degis- tcred two of his season's three triumphs over the world champs and has beaten them five straight times, Rout Bo Belinsky They combed Bo Belinsky for eight runs in the first two innings of the nightcap, how ever, enabling Ralph Terry to coast to his fourth victory. Clete Boyer homered for the Yankees and Leon Wagner belted his 11th for the Angels. Lenny Green s two-run homer in the n inth inning of the second game powered the Twins to their second game win after Pedro Ramos scored his second victory in the op ener. Joe Adcock drove in all six of Cleveland's runs in the nightcap with two homers and a single but Ray Moore, third of five Twin pitchers gained his first victory. Ramos singled home two runs in the opener and went 8 2-3 innings despite homers by Zoilo Versallcs, Jimmy Hall and Earl Battey. Rookie Bill Faul scored his first major league victory for the Tigers with a three-hitter over the Senators. The Tigers provided him with all the sup port he needed when they ral lied for three runs in the fifth with the aid of Bill Bruton' double and Al Kaline's sixth homer. Bruton had four dou bles in five trips to pace De troit's 11-hit attack on loser Dave Stcnhouse and two Washington relievers. in 1 TENNIS STAR HERE TO NIGHT When the 1962 am ateur tennis season came to a close, a slightly-built light ning reflexed Queenslander had left the game in sham bles, including the "grand slam," and in the process in- dehbily inscribed his name in the record books for all time. The player was "Roc ket" Rod Laver, above, a mag netic fellow with flaming red hair which almost match es his blazing tennis reper toire. Laver is now a profes sional and he'll be in Medford tonight in the headline match in the world Series of Pro fessional Tennis. The three- match program is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at Hedrick Jun ior high gym. Laver will meet Ken Rosewall, a fellow Aus tralian, against whom he is contending in a playoff for first prize money of $35,000 in the series, UNKSCOKKR: American League Kansas City .. 100 002 000 .1 9 2 Boston 31 020 10X 7 12 0 Wickersham. seirul (SI, Thles (7) and Sullivan.
