Few clubs looked worse during J the 1955 exhibition season, when the Dodgers won only 13 of their .27 games. But in the regular sea son they went on to capture the .pennant. -, Will it be the same story this year? The first two exhibition games would indicate so. i Saturday, the world champions jbowed to the Boston Red Sox 8-3 and yesterday took a 17-5 thump ing from the same club. The youthful Sox, who collected 17 hits to go with seven Brooklyn errors, did most of their damage off rookie pitchers yesterday. Only Ed Roebuck, veteran relief hurler, was effective. The Red Sox's big blow was Ted lepclo's grand slam home run off LA. Misses Boat --Webb . PHOENIX. Ariz. (UP) Co-own- ' er Del Webb of the New York Yankees, the head of the major league ' re-alignment committee, said today it looked as if Los An geles at least temporarily had .'"missed the boat" in gaining big 'league baseball. t "In the first place." he said. ''Los Angeles lust isn't a good ' baseball town. That. In itself. shouldn't make all the difference because on a per capita basis, neither Is New York City a good baseball town. Not on the same level as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Washington where with good teams the fans would tear down the gates tc- get in the ball park "The people of Los Angeles themselves were tue ones who pre' vented the Browns from being transferred there," he said. Webb recalled the series of hec tic meetings held prior to the 1953 World Series when at least half a dozen cities were bidding for the distressed franchise of the Browns. "But the other cities sent im portant delegations of people to that meeting in New York," he said. "Los Angeles sent only a clerk in some municipal office. They had no ball park to offer. We gave up on L.A. right then. The people of Baltimore, led by their mayor, Thomas D'Allesandro offered us everything. They Just about forced it on us at a time when I had thought the best move would have been for the Browns to go to Los Angeles." Odds Favor Basilio Win BT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Welterweight champion Carmen Basilio is a 9-5 favorite to beat off ex-champ Johnny Saxton's chal lenge In a 15-round title bout In Chicago Stadium Wednesday night. The 28-year-old ex-Marine from Chittenango. N.Y.. unbeaten in his last 15 fights, will be making the second defense of the crown he won from chinky Tony DeMarco.

Basilio, a favorite of the tele vision fans for his stirring scraps, will be seen again by video view ers.

Coach Jim c o n r o y ' s Malin Mustangs handed Klamath County its first Ciass B high school basketball championship here last' Saturday night as they turned on the heat to scorch Echo 80-57 in the final game of the annual small school cage classic. 'Lie Malin triumph rang down the curtain of the three-day cage aflair that shattered almost every record in the books, plus finding the Baker Chamber of Commerce staging the first financial success ever accorded a B playoff. Unlike their first two games of the tournament, when they had to come from behind, Malin wast ed little time in taking command as the Mustangs and Cougars bat tled for the state B crown. Glen Steyskal handed Malin its initial push towards the championship throne as he bucketed a pusher from the right hand comer to give the Mustangs a 2-0 lead. This margin grew to an 11-4 count in the next four and one-half minutes as Norm Oliva, two-year al-star-er. hit for four points, Roger Dot ken and Steyskal each popped in Held goals and Allen Myers hit once f ronv We'll ee throw, line! Echo put on a last half-quarter drive to close the lead to a -13-13 count 'as ' Sam and Mike Ramos and the Tolar cousins. Allen and Mick, piloted a sudden scoring surge. With 1:50 remaining in the period, Sam Ramos knotted the count nt 13-all, the one and only time the Cougars were on even terms with Malin. Steyskal was again the Malin workhorse as he tallied one from the field to break the deadlock, and Ray Johnson fol. lowed with a pair of shots from the field to push the Mustangs back into the drivers seat. The period closed with Malin holding a 19-16 heading. BACKBOARD In the second quarter, Malin's defense and backboard play stole the show as the Echo hoopsters were limited to eight points, while Malin was dumping in 18. Johnson netted six of these points while Oliva was snaring eight In the eight-minutes of play that closed with the Mustangs holding the up per hand. 37-24. Domination of both backboards by Oliva, Dokken and Myers seem to break the back of the scrappy Echo cagers. who wouldn't quit. As the second half opened, Ma lin doubled the count on the Cou gars. Oliva found the range with a shot from close-in to mark the score at a 51-24 count. Again it was Oliva combined-with the scor ing talents of Myers that carried the Malin hopes of a champion- ship. The 6-3 pivotman bucketed seven points, all coming within two minutes, while Myers hit the Jackpot for four field goals. Dur ing this period's play,. Malin lost the services of Steyskal who was charged with his fifth personal foul with one minute and 18 sec onds left to play. The final stanza was played on even terms as reserves from both teams saw quite la bit of action The fourth quarter scoring found the Mustangs holding the upper hand 18-16. as the District 5-B champs finished the championship tussle with a 23 point lead and a record smashing performance, COMBINED ' Malin's 80 points established one of 10 new records.

The Oaks, no longer wanted by their fans, were shifted there by club President C. L. (Brick) Laws at the end of last season after drawing a disappointing 141,397 home attendance. It was the first change since 1938 and ended Oak land baseball after 53 years there. The Red Sox rescue apparently has taken such a strong hold that one radio announcer conducted a poll which had San Francisco fans predicting a pennant for the Seals and a home attendance of 420.000 this year.
