The Phoenix Giants stepped in
to a full game lead in the Pacific
Coast League pennant race Thurs
day nifht, beating the Seattle
Bainiers while the second-place
Vancouver .Mounties had to settle

The Giants won it big over the
Bainiers, 9-4. The Mounties shell
acked the Beavers 5-1 in the open

Lake Citys Bees tipped Sacra

Home, Hope
For New Fate
LOS ANGELES (AP) San
Francisco's Giants, who ruled the
national League 10 days ago,
limped back to California today
wondering whether they could
hold even the state championship.
. Manager Bill Rigney, ever the
optimist, told them "You've hit
the bottom of the barrel, boys.
me oniy way to bounce is up
We've got what it takes."
His brief declaration came after
their 12-1 shellacking at the hands
of the St. Louis Cardinals Thurs
day night, a game marked by
four costly errors, wild pitching
ana a short supply of Giant hits.
Rigney, who remarked "I was
just mad," had been thumbed out
of that one by Umpire Al Barlick
for protesting the call on a ball
pitched by Ramon Monzant.
That was the ninth San Fran
cisco loss in the last 10 games
and dropped the rookie laden club
seven games behind the first
place Milwaukee Braves. The
Giants, who sometimes start as
many as five rookies, are nnv
only two games ahead of third
place Pittsburgh.
Despite their collapse, they
seem able to maintain their lead
of the Los Angeles Dodgers and
wind up with the California title,
at least. They have an 8-2 edge
on the Dodgers.
Ruben Gomez pitches tonight
against the Dodgers' Don Drys
dale. Gomez (6-9 has a 3-0 mark
against Los Angeles. Drysdale
(5-11) is 0-3 against the Giants.
In the two games they lost to
St. Louis, San Francisco pitchers
gave up a total of 20 runs and
26 hits.

Yakima Nets
N WL Victory
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The boys played right along
with the percentages in the North
west League Thursday night. The
top three clubs knocked the bot
torn three further down into the
second division.
Yakima retained its two and a
half game lead by whipping Sal
em, 13-7, while second place
Lewiston was edging Eugene, 4-3.
Wenatchee's third place Chiefs
bombed Tri-City, 12-6.
The Bears win swept the se
ries and gave Salem's Senators
9-32 second -half season record,
pushing them further into the cel
lar. Eight runs in the sixth inning
put Yakima well out of Salem s
reach after the Bears had pulled
to a 3-2 lead on Dan Ganus two
run homer in the fourth.
Bruce Mcintosh proved the dif
ference in the Lewiston-Eugene
fracas. He scored the tying run
in the ninth frame and drove in
the winning tally for the Broncs
in the 10th.
Mcintosh doubled to right-center
with two out in the ninth to drive
in Ted Rhodes. He led off the
10th with a triple and came home
with the winning run on Roger
llerrscher s single.
Thornton Kipper, allowing no
earned runs, marked up his
llllh win of the season, lie has
lost nine, three of them in extra
inning contests.
One big inning led the way for
Wenatchee's triumph over Tri-
City on the Chief's home field
Scoring seven runs in the third,
the Chiefs came back from a 2-0
deficit and staved off a hard
fighting Tri-City comeback at
tempt to lake the series, 2-1.
The Braves scored single un
earned runs in the first and third
and kept pecking away at Wen
atchee s lead. They trimmed it
to 8-6 in the seventh when Vern
Piver slammed a solo homer. .
But Wenatchec quickly iced it
in the eighth with four runs on
three singles and doubles by Hank
Bivens and pitcher Bob Campbell.
Charlie Turner homered in the
fourth for the winners.
The switcheroo is on Friday,
with Tri-City traveling to Salem,
Wenalchce moving to Lewiston
and Yakima taking on the Em
eralds at Eugene.

Reese
Rejects
Job Offer
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) -Manager
Walter Alstoa had one
less worry when he returned
home with his los Angeles Dodg
ers today after a swing through
the East, where the Dodgers won
eight games and lost nine.
Peewee Reese, Dodger short
stop and captain, has scratched
himself as an immediate candi
date for the job Alston has "lost'
off and on for the past month
or so.
Asked if he was interested in
a managerial job, Reese said:
"Frankly I'm not sure and defi
nitely not while I'm still able to
play. All my life I have been hear
ing about players who just
couldn't wait to finish their play
ing careers so they could get a
managerial job.
"I am not one of them. I have
enjoyed playing, and I am still en
joying the game. When I come to
the end of the line then there will
be time to talk about my man
agerial possibilities. This isn't the
time.
Reese, incidentally, was offered
the Dodger post before Alston was
promoted from the team's farm
system to take command.
Discussing his views on man
aging Reese pointed to Alston and
said: "After ceeing what has hap
pened to Walt it makes you won
der whetner u s ever worm mann
ing about wanting to manage.
When we were winning, he was
everybody's hero. When we lose
they start booing him with the
very first step he takes out of
the dugout.
"It isn't fair. He's no different
manager when we are winning
than he is when we are losing.
I have been around this game
long enough to know it's the play
ers who make the manager, and
the way they suffer when a team
isn't going good is an out and out
crime."
The Dodgers came home on a
winning note. They defeated the
Cubs 3-1 yesterday, their second
straight over Chicago.
Two Golfers

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (UPI) -
Paul Harney and Ernie Vossler
led the field into the second round
of the $35,000 Miller Open- golf
tournament today with record
lying 63s, but don't bet on them
for the championship.
There were 13 players within
three strokes of Harney and Vos
sler and 50 in all who equaled or
bettered par in Thursday's 18-
hole round. It was the most closely
bunched field in the four - year
history of the 7.2-hole medal play
tournament.
Brien Charter, an unknown from
Jancsville, Wis., and old pro
Sammy Snead were a stroke back
with 64s. Both came up with the
day's low nine-hole score, five-
under-par 30.
At 65 were Howie Johnson, John
Pott, Jim Turnesa and Bill John

others at 66. They were Chick
Burke Jr., Tom Nieporte, Bob

NEW YORK (UPI) Ty Cobb

The immortal Tyrus, 71, wore

and a pair of sandals as he sat
in his hotel room and praised the
pitchers, past and present.
The man from Cornelia, Ga.,
brought up the subject of mounds

me that the pitchers this season
are doing about the best job since
the lively ball was brought into
the majors judging by the

And he was pitching well, when
"suddenly I had to field a swing
ing bunt and had to make an off
balance throw to first."
"The instant that ball left my
hand, my arm and shoulder felt
on fire. I didn't know exactly
what had happened, but I knew
I was in a terrible jam if I had
thrown my arm out. And I'd have
to hit it.
"You see. I was a high-salaried
star with Ihe Tigers and trying
to get more money. And any hint
of an injury would weaken my
negotiating position. AU this
flashed throuah my mind.
"So, in spite of the pain, I
threw one more ball to the catch
ermaking sure it was wide.
Then 1 walked up to him and
said I'd lost my stuff and they'd
better put in another pitcher."
He never did find out what
ligaments he fad torn, he said,
because he was afraid to go to
a doctor lest the secret leak
out. A trusted friend massaged
the arm and shoulder almost
daily until spring training.
"Then I could throw just well
enough looping it after I'd
run in a ways from the outfield,
to fool everyone. The arm im
proved gradually but it never was
the same' during the rest of my
career. You might say I was
playing with a glass arm."
Had he been a pitcher, instead
of an outfielder, when he hurt the
arm, he would have been finished,
he said. And that experience
taught .him that pitchers have the
most precarious jobs in baseball
and are the real heroes of tha
sport.
