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

gained confidence.

taaie Kazak, which gave them a
4-3 victory over the Spokane 1
dians.
Vancouver lost ground in drop

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

a relief specialist has brought
out the best in his prize rookie.
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.

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

form his own troupe, the Post add

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

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.

Phoenix
Center
For HRs
PHOtttlX. 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.

NEW YORK (UPII-The plight

Those three experts in their re-

Baseball doesn't need any help

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

Penna. the handsome MacGreg-

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.

explains why you don't have the
colorful, after-dark playboys that
you once had in pro golf.
"In the old days, golf was a

only five players who could win

used to play for in an entire

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
