Dodgers Win 8th
In Row; Drysdale
Sidearms Bullets
United Prou International
Don Drysdale and the Los
Angeles Dodgers have a two
word reply today for National
leaguers who were hoping the
25-game winner of 1962 would
fall victim to the Cy Young
Award jinx:
"Forget it."
. Drysdale backs up his por
tion of the retort with three
straight victories, giving him
a 5-4 record, and the Dodgers
back up their end with eight
consecutive wins, giving them
the longest winning streak in
the major leagues this season.
The Dodgers and Drysdale
extended their strings Wed
nesday night with a 7-3 tri
umph over the New York
Mets. The win enabled the
Dodgers to remain one game
behind the first-place San
Francisco Giants, with whom
they open a three-game series
in Los Angeles on Friday
night.
Started Slowly
Drysdale started slowly this
season and NL rivals hoped
he might be victimized by the
pitcher of the year award
which previously had claimed
Don Newcombe, Bob Turley,
Vein Law and to a slightly
lesser extent Early Wynn in
the year after each won the
honor.
But Wednesday night Drys
dale was sidearming bullets
behind an 11-hit attack that
included homers by Tommy
Davis and Frank Howard. The
only hits off him were hom
ers by Duke Snider and Tim
Harkness and he struck out
six while walking three.
Hits Grand Slam
The Giants blitzed the Phil
adelphia Phillies 10-2, the
Pittsburgh Pirates nipped the
Houston Colts 4-3, and the
Chicago Cubs scored a 7-6
11-inning triumph over the
St. Louis Cardinals in other
NL action. Cincinnati at Mil
waukee was postponed by cold
weather.
Tom Haller hit the first
standings Hardest Hit Ball
Of Mantle's Life
Nearly Into Orbit
grand slam of his career to
climax a seven-run fourth-in
ning rally that made it a
breeze for the Giants' Jack
Sanford to raise his record to
73. Hatler's homer was off
Jack Baldschun, who hadn't
yielded a homer in 35 pre
vious appearances on the
mound.
Don Nottebart, in his first
start since pitching a nc-hit-ter
against the Phillies on
May 17, carried a five-hit
shutout into the ninth before
the Pirates rallied for all their
runs. Bui Mazeroski s double
started the flareup and a walk
and singles by Smoky Bur
gess and Donn Clendenon
chased Nottebart in favor of
Don McMahon. Then an error
and Roberto Clemente's two-
run double completed the
game winning rally which
gave Earl Francis his second
victory.
Ken Aspromonte singled
home the Cubs' tying run with
two out in the ninth and also
singled home the winning run
with two out in the 11th. Ron
Santo had a three-run double
for the Cubs and Stan Musial
and Bill White homered for
the Cardinals.

Eugene fUPll The Northern
Division baseball title will
be at slake this week end in
a four-game series between
Oregon and Oregon Stale.
The teams are scheduled
to play doubleheaders here
Friday and at Corvallis Saturday.
Defending champion Ore
gon State leads the league
with a 9-2 record. Oregon is
one game behind with an
8-3 mark and must win three
out of four lo gain a tie for
the championship.
In the most recent poll

first.
United Proii International
The dateline was New
York, May 22 - Gordo's day
and Mickey's night.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper
"o w n e d" the big town
Wednesday during a tumultu
ous ticker-tape parade and
dinner, but the night belong
ed strictly to fellow Okla
homan Mickey Mantle.
Of course, Mantle, or any
one else for that matter,
would have to go a long way
to match Gordo's 22 trips
around the world in a cap
sule, but Mickey came close
to accomplishing what no oth
er .major league player ever
has done in the 40-year his
tory of Yankee Stadium, and
that includes such stars as
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and
Joe DiMaggio.
Mantle almost sent a base
ball into orbit when he crash
ed a homer - "the hardest
hit ball of my life" - against
the uppermost facade of Yatv
kce Stadium, a liner at least
100 feet in the air and 3S0
feet from the plate. The drive,
which still had "rise" when
it bounced off the facade,
gave the Yankees an 8-7 vic
tory over the Kansas City A s
in 11 innings.
Had the ball cleared the
facade atop the third tier it
would have been the first fair
ball ever hit out of the mam
moth stadium. As it was, it
topped any of the tape-measure
homers the Oklahoma kid
has unloaded in a brilliant
major league career, even the
celebrated 565-foot homer he
hit in Washington in 1933.
Orioles Stop Tigers
In the other American
league games the Baltimore
Orioles defeated the Detroit
Tigers 2-1, behind the effec
tive pitching of Steve Barber
and Wes Stock; the Chicago
White Sox whipped the Wash
ington Senators 9-3, with new
Nats' manager Gil Hodges
watching from the stands; the
Los Angeles Angels nipped
the Cleveland Indians 7-6 in
11 innings, and the Minnesota
Twins defeated the Boston
Red Sox 3-1.
By winning, the Orioles
and While Sox remained tied
for first place in the Ameri
can league race, with the Yan
kees a game behind in third
place.
Barber Wins Eighth
Barber gave up four hits
and walked eight batters in
the six innings he Worked
and gave way to Stock when
he started the seventh inning
with another base on balls.
Slock promptly set down nine
of the 10 batters he faced
lo nail down Barber's eighth
victory- of the season - tops
in the majors.
The White Sox chased
Washington starter Bonnie
Daniels in the eighth inning
after scoring eight of their
runs off him. Pete Ward's
two-run homer in the first
and Jim Landis' bases-loaded
triple in the eighth were the
big blows.
The Angels blew an early
six-run lead and then won
out in the 11th when Gary
Bell, the fifth Cleveland pitch
er, hit Lee Thomas with the
bases loaded and two out to
chase over the winning run.
Minnesota's Jim Kaat held
Boston to seven hits. The only
run off him was Lu Clinton's
fifth inning homer. Kaat help
ed his own cause along with
a run-scoring single in the
fourth inning.

Gil Hodges
Skipper at
Washington
By SAM FOGG
Washington - lliPU - Jimmy
Picrsall may wind up playing
for the New York Mets as
payment for Gil Hodges, the
suprise new manager of the
Washington Senators.
When Hodges was given his
unconditional release in or
der to succeed deposed
Mickey Vernon as the Sen
ators' field boss Wednesday,
it was announced the Mets
would receive nothing in re
turn - except good will.
However, it was reported In
Los Angeles Wednesday night
that the Senators will offer
the Mets a player as part of
the deal. Speculation imme
diately centered on Picrsall,
long-time favorite of Mets
manager Casey Stengel who
has been riding the bench in
Washington this season.
Giveaway Unlikely
It seems unlikely that' the
Mets would allow Hodges,
who was so popular with New
York fans, to go to Washing
ton without asking something
in return. The club paid the
Dodgers $75,000 for the 37-year-old
first baseman in 1981
and also spent a bundle on
Gil for surgery.
Hodges was stricken with
kidney stones in mid-July last
year and appeared in only 54
games. He underwent knee
surgery during the off-season,
then appeared in only 11
games this year before being
placed on the disabled list
with anbthcr knee ailment.
The announcement of Ver
non's dismissal and the hiring
of Hodges was made by
George Selkirk, the Senators'
general manager, who said
Vernon would move into the
club's front office as an "ad
ministrative assistant."
