Newspaper Page Text2 C WEDNESDAY. JULY 24. 1863 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Dodgers Drown Out Pirates 6-0; Podres Pitches Sixth Game Win Br ALEX KAHN UPI Sports Writer Los Angeles - WTO - What a whale of a difference a month makes, pitcher Johnny Podres grinned today as he rode the crest of a six -game winning streak, all in the month of July. Podres posted a 6-0 shutout victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday night over the Pittsburgh Pirates. It was Podres fifth shutout and 10th complete game of the season and six wins in one month Piersall Confident New York - HJPD-Outfielder Jimmy Piersall says he's "sit ting tight and waiting" for another crack at a major league job which he feels con fident he'll get. The colorful, 33-year-old Piersall, who was placed on waivers by the New York Met! Monday, said Tuesday night that he has a few con tacts and believes he has "a lot of good baseball left in me." If no team claims Piersall within the 72-hour waiver pe . rlod, he will be given his un conditional release and be free to make a deal for himself. Milwaukee, Houston and the Los Angeles Angels are reported to be among the teams interested in him. "I was happy with the Met," he said, "but I just wasn't doing the job. If they felt I didn't fit Into their plans, they had the right to get rid of me. After all, it s just like running any other business. "And . don't forget," Pier sall added, "I drew a pretty good salary here." His yearly salary is estimated as 137,- equalled his major league career high mark set in July, 1961. The win raised Podres' seasonal record to 10-6. Exactly a month prior to Tuesday night's win, Podres was sent home from St. Louis after lasting only a third of an inning against the Cardi nals. He underwent treatment from the Dodgers club phy sician for a sore elbow, re ceiving cortisone shots for the condition. No Increase The win, however, did not increase the Dodgers six-game National league lead as the second place Cardinals kept pace with the Dodgers by de feating the Milwaukee Braves. "That was the best I've seen Podres perform over a streak of games although It was not the best individual perform ance," manager Walt Alston commented. "I was a little worried when he was warm ing up because he did not ap pear to be breaking his curve as well as usual. Podres agreed that he had trouble getting his curve over in the first inning when the first two men he faced, Dick Schoficld and Manuel Mota both singled. But Maury Wills then started the first of three Dodger double plays in which he was involved and gave Podres a chance to settle down. Wills Shines Alston singled out the work of Wills at shortstop as ex ceptional and said the little infielder turned in one of his best games of the season. But it took a bloop double by Wally Moon in the fifth inning to bring the Dodgers a run. Podres led off the inning with his second straight single but was forced at second by Wills who then stole second his 23rd stolen base of the season. Jim Gilliam went all the way to second on a fielder's SIPdDIKTS "I'm working out every day 'to stay In shape when the next chance comes," he said. STANDINGS Pet.

Mickey (41 and Barry, ft By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Writer Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris-S172,000 worth of mus cle-may owe their World Se ries checks this fall to second stringers Johnny Blanchard and Steve Hamilton. With sluggers Mantle and Maris still on the sidelines be cause of Injuries, the New York Yankees have boosted their American league lead to nine games.

Blanchard, playing right field in place of Maris, con nected for his fifth and sixth homers of the season. His sec ond round-tripper of the game was a three-run blast oft southpaw reliever Jack Spring, topping a six-run fifth inning. Clete Boyer chipped in with his 11th homer and Hector Lopez, another substi tute outfielder, collected two hits. The victory was the Yan keea' fifth in a row, with Hamilton preserving Stan Williams' fourth triumph. So far this year, Mantle and Maris have played only 21 games together.

By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Maybe some team will steal the National league pennant from the Los Angeles Dodg ers but who's gonna rob the MVP award from Dick Groat? The answer should be no. body because what value do you put on a slick-fielding shortstop who is a fiery field leader in addition to hitting 343? That's the 32-year-old Groat's average today and puts him squarely on the path toward his second NL batting championship and second MVP award. Groat won 'cm both in 1960 when he batted .325 and led the Pittsburgh Pirates to their first NL pennant since 1927. Today, Groat is doing his Herculean best to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to their first NL pennant since 1946. It's a tough task, all right, because the Dodgers are roll ing out front with a six- game lead but you blame a man for trying. Groat Sparked Victory Groat "tried" Tuesday night with four hits in five tries that sparked a 14-hit JUNIOR GIRLS Winners for Juniors Girls play on July 19 were: Three hole division - Kathie Chit. wood, nine hole division -Vickie Voorheis.

There's a tale about a fan club organized for a rookie before he appeared in his first major league game. And a major league catcher blushes when he tells how he was taken in by a ruse that sandlotters used 30 years ago. Another player has joined the writing fraternity. And what's in a name? Baseball by any other name would still be a great sport. A San Francisco secretary with the arresting name of Novella O'Hara organized the John Pregenzer fan club also known as the John who? Pregenzer had not yet thrown his first pitch with the San Francisco Giants when the club began boom ing. He has since been sent to Tacoma for seasoning and Miss O'Hara offered the Gi ants $100 for his contract. Willie Mays was trying to run up an escalator going down" at the' Philadelphia airport. He refused to admit he was going the wrong way and finally proved his point by taking two steps at a time and arriving at the top. Then Willie convinced Pregenzer that HE was going the wrong way.

Suddenly Pagliaroni stopped in his tracks when he heard someone say "I got it." He thought it was Clen denon and the ball dropped opening the gates for a five-run surge by the Dodgers. Later Pagliaroni learned Dodger coach Joe Eecker had shouted "I got it." "The oldest trick in base ball," remarked Pagliaroni ruefully, "and I had to bite on it." When Maury Wills com pleted his book about his. b a s e-stealing exploits, he asked George Lederer, West Coast sports writer, to check it for errors. "Everything is fine," Led erer said, "except you have a name misspelled." "Which one," inquired Wills. "Mine," said Lederer. What was described as the "greatest catch in baseball," occurred last June 27 at Fen way Park when the Cleve land Indians beat the Boston Red Sox, 6-4. Indian outfielder Al Lu plow leaped into the air to spear Dick Williams' ball and then fell over a barrier into the Red Sox bullpen. He" scrambled to his feet and showed the umpire he still held the ball. The umpire ruled a putout and the Red box protested the game. The name's the same.
