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.

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. Each pitcher walked one:
Janet Pfaff picked up the

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

12th.
Phils, Giants Split
The Philadelphia Phillies

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.

homer and drove in three
runs.

Rod Laver, from Australia,
Andres Gimeno, from Spain,
and Earl Buchholz, of the
United States.
The series matches, cur
rently in the playoff stage,
will be seen at Hedrick Junoir
High school gym starting at
7:30 p.m. There will be three
matches, two in singles and
one in doubles.
Headline match will be that
between Rosewall and Laver
in the battle for first place.
It will be the second one on
the program and will be two-of-three
regular sets. Open
ing the evening will be the
pro-set skirmish between
Buchholz and Gimeno. They
are fighting for third place.
The players will pair for
doubles competition in the
concluding action. It likely
will be a pro-type set but
could be regular sets if it ap

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. Buch
holz is the first young player
to try to develop his game
to Its full potential as a pro
rather than as an amateur,

American League
Has 5-Team Jam
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sports Writer
To get the feel of the Amer
ican league race today, try
squeezing five into a tele
phone booth.
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.

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,
