WEDNESDAY, .JINE 18. 1958 -HERALD ANDREWS. OLAMOTH FAlO.S. OREGON PAGE 3 B A. u-vf j i- Duren Finds Control, Becomes Top Pitcher NEW YORK 'API - Rinold (Rynei Duren. the newest bullpen sensation ol the New York Van kees. almost overnight became the most exciting pitcher in the major leagues. Why? How? Bill DeWilt. former president o( the St. Louis Browns, who had Duron originally, thinks it's be cause he has finally curbed his wildness. Ralph Houk, Yankee coach for whom Duren won 13 while losing iwo ai Denver, thinks he has gained confidence. Yankee Manager Casey Stengel thinks the switch from a starter Padres Pick Up 10th Win By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Diego's Padres, hottest club In the Pacific Coast League, xan their winning streak to 10 straight luesday night and closed in me pace-setting Vancouver Mounties, whom they now trail by only 3'i games. The Padres preserved' t h e i r string with a two-out, two run. loth inning single by pinch-hitter taaie Kazak, which gave them a 4-3 victory over the Spokane 1 dians. Vancouver lost ground in drop ping a fi-a decision to Portland in the Beavers' park. Runner-up Phoenix, now only half a game ahead of San Diego, suffered a 6-3 setback at the hands of Sacra memo, which' snapped a nine- game losing habit. And Seattle fell back into the cellar on its 10-2 loss to the Bees at Salt Lake City. San Diego counted twice in the first frame and Spokane knotted the count in the fourth on Jim Baxes' 13th homer. After that the two clubs went scoreless until the tenth when the Indians counted in their half, only to have t h e Padres pull the game out with Kazak's heroics. The blow gave pitcher Hal Woodeshick his fifth consecutive win and sixth of the season. San Diego's 10-game victory streak is the season's high for the PCL. At Portland, little Vic Lombardi weathered a four-run Vancouver outburst in the first three innings and limited the league-leaders to .a single tally the rest of the way while the Beavers came from be Jiind to cop the series opener. Portland tied it up in the fourth on a solo homer by George Freese and a two-run round-tripper by Jack Littrell that sailed more .than 400 feet into the center field stands. It was the first clout of 1he campaign into the center sec 'tion of Multnomah Stadium. Joe Durham led the Vancouver attack with a three-run homer in the third and a triple. Sacramento, whose manager had been fined $100 for "filthy language" last Friday, ran up a -0 lead over the invading Phoenix Giants in the first six innings and Tiling on for the first Solon vic tory in 10 starts. Bud Watkins .vias driven to cover in the sev enth with a three-run Giant rally but received credit for the win. 'Clayton Dalrymplc's homer f o r Sacramento's final run was the only circuit-clout of the game. : Two light-hitting infielders. Dick Barone (.1881 and Jim Baumer (.2381 came to life against Seattle '.pitching and gave Salt Lake City .an easy 10-2 win that evened their series on the Utah diamond. Ba rone drove in two runs with two Wis while Baumer had three TiBI's on a triple and two singles jGcorge Perez went all the way for the Bees to notch his fourth win. Chuck Churn, who started for Seattle and was relieved in the fifth, was the loser. The shortscorcs: Phoenix 000 000 3003 9 3 Sacramento 000 321 Wx 9 1 ; Barclay.

The bespectacled Duren be lieves it was the tutorship of Frank 'Leftyi O'Doul at Vancouv- in IMS that is responsible. "Lefty took great ' pains with me, Duren explains. "He was patient and underslanding. He mowed m the value of moving he ball, of placing the pilch in so many areas of the strike, zone. I had a terrible first half season at Vancouver, losing seven of my tirst nine decisions, n ith his help, I was able to win nine of the last 13." Duren, 29. considered excess baggage in the Billy Martin-Harry Simpson trade of a year ago. wasn't given much of a chance to stick with the Yankees this year. But Stengel, apparently sensing that Bob Grim had had it, de cided to gamble with Duren in relief. Duren has pitched 26 2-3 innings permitted only IS hits, struck out 40 and walked only 13. His earned run percentage of 1.33 doesn't tell half the story. Besides his three victories, he has saved eight games. What has impressed virtually everyone has been his smoking fast ball. Duren throws harder than Al- lie Reynolds in his prime," ob served catcher Yogi Berra. He is as fast as Feller," said Sal Maglie. The kid throws hard enough to suit me," said Casey Stengel." I think he has it in him to be one of the great relief specialists of all time, another Johnny Murphy for the Yankees.

Trotters Get Wilt The Stilt NEW YORK (AP) Wilt (the Stilt) Chamberlain, who quit the University of Kansas at the end of his junior year last month, will join the Harlem Globetrotters' bas ketball team, the New York Post reported Wednesday. The 7 foot-2' star from Philadel phia has abandoned his plans to form his own troupe, the Post add ed Chamberlain, who announced his decision to quit college and turn pro in a magazine article which brought him a reported $10,000. is the property of the Philadelphia Warriors of the National Basket ball Assn. He is ineligible to play with the Warriors, however, until the class with which he entered college is graduated. (Continued from Page 1-B) from now on out remains to be seen, but there 11 undoubtedly be some ear-burning before the situa tion is settled. Jones never played college foot ball and was a wide-open pickup for the Rams. Sid Gillman, LA coach, plans to use Jones as a defensive halfback. Not to say we told you so, but Elgin Raylor will not be return ing to Seattle University, but play pro basketball instead as we maintained in this column sever al months ago. We do have one question that has yet to be answered. Why does Baylor maintain Seat tle's ban by the NCAA does not affect his decision to turn pro with the Minneapolis Lakers? If he is sincere, Elgin is the first big-time athlete to travel all the way across the nation just for an education alone. Especially when he leaves his home on the East Coast and enrolls in a small school like College of Idaho then transfers to an independent cage power such as Seattle. It just doesnt add up to tour when you put two and two together Klamath Falls ran be justly proud of Us summer recreation pro. gram and be thankful that It isn't in the same spot Albany has found itself. There will be no supervised playground program in Albany this year because of a shortage of funds. It will be the first time in 20 years the program will be dropped. City officials at Albany said they could not spend the money and stay within the budget. By chare ing children fees ranging from SI to $2, however, there will be class es of instruction. Adults also will have classes in fly-tying, square dancing and other activities for the $2 fee. Klamath's success can he cred ited to the response given the Babe Ruth League and other such programs. The BRL operated last year "on their own ticket" and are doing the same this year. The Little League, which has just start ed here, will pay the costs of lights used last week at Gem Stad ium for the jamboree. All this helps and will mean a better pro gram in the future. By having these groups share the load, Bob'Bonney and his recrea tion department can see to it that more youngsters get the rec reation program that is being su pervised at playgrounds and parks throughout the city during the summer months. For its size, we'll have to say, the local recreation department's summer program is at the top as far as ratings go. Most of the credit must go to Jack Kcmnit- zer, summer sports director, un der whose supervision are the boys Softball and baseball leagues. Some people can get a little good out of most anything. Eddie "Whitey" Ford, the Yank's star lefthander, drove his car away from Yankee Stadium and two blocks away noted: "Whenever I lose a game or get knocked out early and I'm feel ing low, I get this far and slow down. Then I figure, 'Well, I'm better off than the guys here' and I feel better all the way home." He .looked out at a towering white building standing atop the railroad tracks.

Ariz. lUPD -Pacific Coast League pitchers must wonder, when playing in the Phoenix park, if today's "rab bit" baseballs have a homing instinct, the way they're disap pearing over fences in this des ert mecca. At the rate the bunny ball is sailing over the garden walls. Phoenix is making a bid in base ball's record book as the home of the homers, and not Los Ange les' Coliseum, with its short left field foul line and high screen. There isn't so short a barrier here as in the Dodger lot. 1 The boundary lines on the square Phoenix park run 321 feet at the foul lines and 420 feet in dead centerfield. Most of the homers here aren't disappearing at the foul lines. Many of them are Iluthian type swats that clear tall palm trees, and sometimes the 40-foot light standards, at the 385 foot marks in left and right center. A total of 124 homers have have been hit thus far, and the season is only half over. Phoenix has hit 68 of its 97 homers in the home lot and the opposition has done well here too, slapping 5ti out of sight. SOUND THEORY ' There must be a reason for it. and veteran pitcher Max Surkont, traded by Phoenix to Seattle earlier in the year, has a pretty good theory. Max says it s not 1 lie ngnt air or the fences in Phoenix that make the curve balls hang for the hitters to blast, although the lighter air offers less resistance to a hard hit ball. My curve broke well at Phoe nix, but I think the Key tacior for the homeruns in Phoenix the baseball s." said Max. "They're drier m Phoenix." Because there is so little hu midity. and the temperatures go so high, adds Max, the base balls dry out and become harder than other places. Those dry. hard balls leap off bats faster and farther in Phoenix than any where else 1 ve pitched. ADD PROOF Surkonl's theory is well born out by the statistics provided by Coast League headquarters here. That Phoenix total of 124 hom ers far outdistances the rest, but Salt Lake, another desert area city, is second, with 60 homers hit there. 30 by the Bees and 30 by the opposition. Another dry land club. Spokane, is next ir line with 37, 19 by the Indians and 18 by the opposition. . San Diego's mark is 35, with 22 by the home club. Only 22 have been nit out of Multnomah Stadium Portland, while 31 have been lost at Sacramento and 30 at Vancou ver. Seattle, right in the middle of the Northwest moisture belt has had the least lost fair balls- seven bv he home team and 17 by the opponents. At the rate Phoenix is going, it looks like a cinch to break the Coast League record for homers in a season 202, set by the Steve Bilko-led Los Angeles Angels 1956. Today's Sport Parade taxing, CSoSf, Pro Football Cleared By OSCAR FRAI.EY NEW YORK (UPII-The plight of Floyd Patterson, the profes sional golfer and the pro football layer all were clearer todav as result of a session with Cus D'Amato, Toney Penna and Jim Lee Howell. Those three experts in their re- peclive fields were guests Tucs- night at a t i l dinner in Leone's for 35 sports editors at tending the American Press Insti tute at Columbia University. Baseball doesn't need any help in these days, so Tord Frick. its commissioner, for some unex plained reason didn t bother to show up. But, like a lot of other people these days, the sports editors, got long very nicely without the na tional pastime. Penna. the handsome MacGreg- or club designer, helped a lot of us errant golfers when he ex plained that it's about time we fairway failures realized we have to be fitted for our clubs just as we do for our suits and shoes. "I'm not shilling tor MacGrcgor clubs or any other kind, Toney explained, (and we'll let him get away with the plug', "hut any body who wants to get the most of his golf game has to have his clubs fitted to his swing. Buying blind you can t get the fit that can get simply by going to ny pro shop and letting the pro fessional fit you."

"In the old days, golf was a port," he says. "Now it's a busi ness. In the old nays there were only five players who could win Walter Hageii. Gene Sarazon. Tommy Armour, Hohby Jones and I'll let you name your own fifth. Today there are 15 who can w in any tournament and another 15 who just might slip in the side door. "The result." he adds. "Is that they have to train like Joe Louis. There just isn't time to relax be cause now they play for as much money in one tournament as we used to play for in an entire year." Getting around to pro football. Jim Lee Howell, the New York Giant football coach who was some pumpkins in his own right as a pro player told the sports editors that he played "in the stone age of pro football." "If I was trying to play today," Southern Cal Meets Tigers In NCAA Baseball Series 0,MAHA, Neb., (UPD- South ern California goes against un beaten Missouri tonight in an at tempt to keep the NCAA College World Scries Baseball Champion ship in its home state. The University of California won last year's meet but fell vic tim to the Trojans in the Pacific Coast Conference this year. USC, beaten once by the spunky Holy Cross team it eliminated Tues day night, meets Missouri in what may be the final game. If Missouri wins, it takes the tit'e but the T.ro.ians have to beat Old Mizzou twice to win the double elimination meet. USC Coach Raoul (Rod) De- daux tabbed Hill Thorn (7-1) to go against the fighting Tigers and Young John4 O'Donohue (6-2) will take the hill for Missouri. Southern California bounced tout ed Holy Cross from the tourna ment Tuesday night, 6-2, after Ken Guffey opened with a triple and scored when Mike Castanon grounded out. Half a dozen singles in the sec ond frame produced four runs and a single coupled with three walks brought in another run in the seventh. Missouri's 3-1 win over Western Michigan, a duplication of the opener Friday night, sent the Broncos home to Kalamazoo. he admitted, "I'd to be too small lor defense and too slow for of fense. In these times, you can't just be fast or just be big you have to be both big and fast. I'm an Arkansas man and some of our alumni got real excited about Buddy Brooks, one of our guards. But Buddy, while a real fine play er, only weighed 210 pounds. You just can't expect a 210 pound man to cope with those 250 and 260 pounders who play on the line in pro football." . D'Amato. manager of heavy weight champion Floyd Patterson, defended sending the champ against Olympic champion Pete Rademacher and contended that the results of the early rounds in dicated that "Rademacher was just a good a choice as any." He admitted, however, that he expected more trouble against Roy Harris, the undefeated bat tier from Cut and Shoot, Tex, when Patterson meets him at Los Angeles in August. "I just hope the match is okay," he said. "The IBC still is using its obstructionist tactics and will do anything to stop us." The IRC has about as much chance, it seems, as a 90 shooter at Pine Valley, Penna's "toughest course," or a 200-pound guard againi.t the Howell-dirccted New York Giants. j Fencing is a popular intramural sport at the University of Utah. 60'" ANNIVERSARY LIFETIME GUAR.TEE "" Ask us about it! tiu, SJ&J "in 1 i1"- 1 I f We're celebrating with EBniH Our biggest seller in the most popular size!
