Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON TUESDAY. APRIL 21. 1959 Mho Blasts Third Homer; Tribe Moves Into PCL Lead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Beefy Steve Bilko belted another home run, but it took a four-run rally in the last inning to put Spokane into first place in the Pacific Coast baseball league. The Indian uprising broke up a tie and gave them a 7-3 win over San Diego Monday night before a crowd of 1,251, smallest in Wcstgate Park PCL history. George Frecse drove in four runs with two homers as Portland beat the defending champion Phoenix Giants 9-6. Salt Lake City survived a five-run onslaught by Seattle In the eighth inning to beat the Rainicrs 8-7. Sacramento scored all its runs in just two innings, beating Vancouver 11-8 while a crowd of nearly 7,000 cheered. The Spokane rally was aided by two double steals. A double by Tom Davis drove in two of the deciding runs. Biiko's homer was his third of the short season. The Padres took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on the combination of a walk, hit batter, single by Ken Itelzer and sacrifice fly. Padre Manager George Mctko- Fred Haney, Lady In Shoe Bit Different MtLWAUKEE (AP) - Where the pitchers are concerned, Man ager Fred Hancy of the Milwau kee Braves Is like the old woman who lived in a shoe with one ex ception: He's got a lot of them but he does know what to do. So far, Haney has been able to conduct a successful campaign against his National League rivals without calling on two of the most able hurlers on his staff to go all the way. "If I were with any other club I'd probably be yowling my head oil to get out there and pitch. taid Joey Jay, the 24-year-old right-hander from Middlctown, Conn. But not on this club. We're champions and I'm perfectly con tent to stick around for a while and just wait for my chance. 1 know I'll got it, too." Haney called Jay from the bull pen just long enough to do away with two hitters in last Saturday's surprise defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. s Carleton Willcy, a 28-year-okl right handcr from Cherryfield Maine, hasn't seen any action at all during the regular season. Haney says, however, that he has his reasons for letting them wait it out. "With all the lousy weather we've been running into," Haney (aid, makeup games and a rash of doubleheadcrs are apparently going to pile up on us. That s when they'll get their chance, maybe sooner. Haney has called on his veterans Bob Rush, Lew Burdette, War ren Spahn and Bob Buhl to fill In as the four regular starters on his club. Nine Webfeet Go To Drakes EUGENE (API-Nine Univer sity of Oregon athletes will com pete in the Drake Relays at Des Moines this weekend. Coach Bill Bowcrman said his four-mile relay team, anchored by Jim urcllc, may equal the 17 minute record for the event. Oth ers on the relay squad are George Larson, Dick Miller, and Phil Knight.

Bowcrman said he expects his team to win that event despite the absence of nine of his top performers. vich was ejected for protesting a call and Salt Lake Manager Lar ry Shepard drew the same treat ment in that game. Il was bargain night for Beaver homers as the winners pushed across eight of their nine runs on lound-trippers. In addition to Freesc, Jack Littrcll and Nini Tornay each drove in two runs with their belts. Starter Howard Reed had a one hitter going until the eighth when Dusty Rhodes connected with a two-run homer and Bob Prescott with a two-rim single for the Gi ants. ft was Portland's first PCL win over Phoenix. , Carlos Bcrnicr's two-run triple in the seventh just looked like a pad to the Salt Lake margin, but it turned out to be the difference between victory and defeat.

Cardinals Convince SolMemus SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - Solly Hcmus, the voluble freshman manager of the St. Louis Cardin als, is firmly convinced that his club is of first division caliber. Optimistic although the Cards are not playing .500 ball, Hemus will give no quarter to any team. "Milwaukee is the solid club," says Solly. "But this is a dog light all the way. Of course, there is room for only one team at the top. But don't count us out. This ir a long season." The Cards and Hemus got off to a bad start in St. Louis when they dropped, their first three games to San Francisco. And Hemus found out at that time what the responsibility of running a ball club means to some. Solly had gone in as pinch hitter and grounded out. As he trotted away from first base some belligerent fan hollered: Keep on running, Hemus you bum ! Will Solly let that little incident bother him? 'Naw," he says. "But I don't plan to play any at second base. After all, I have the best second baseman in the league in Don Blasingame. If I was competing with him for the job, of course. couldn t say that. But as manager 1 can atlord to praise him." Hemus thinks the Cardinals made a dandy swap when they Iradcd away Wally Moon for Gino Cimoli. . 'This Gino gives us a man who can hit in the second spot," said Solly, "and he has been hitting so good that I can t get him out of the line-up even against left handers. Ho doesn t have the pow er that Moon has, but he is better in all other departments. And the Card manager sings the praises, long and loud, for calchcr Hal Smith. "This boy was a second-stringer behind Gene Green last year," says Solly. "But he is the type who believes he is the best and is trying to prove it. He already has hit two home runs this year against only one last season. "On top of that, our pitchers love to throw to him. He has class behind the plate. He may develop into the best catcher in the National League. He is so good out there, that he could hit only .230 and still be one of the best in baseball. As for Stan Musial, Mr. Base ball, Hcmus has nothing but praise. There Is a guy who never dogs it," says the manager. "He sets a wonderful example for the rest of the club." Solly attempted to bench his star hitter to rest his aging bones during the Giant scries in San Francisco. But Stan the Man would have none of it. "I don't need those rests until we hit the hot wrather later in I he year in the East," replied Musial. "See what I mean?" asked Solly.

SIPOISTS WAYNE SCOTT, Sports Editor Today's Spori Parade Fates Set Up Akins For Cruel Last Joke Willamette Golf, Net Teams Win SALEM (AP)-Willamette Uni versity's tennis and golf teams Monday defeated Linfield College in Northwest Conference matches. Willamette's tennis team won 61. And the golf team, playing at the Salem Golf Club course, won 16-2 wilh Willamette's Rusty Beaton and Roger Mundorff shar ing medalist honors with 73s. By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UPD The fates seemed determined today to play one last cruel JoKe on virgu Akins, the man they installed svith such tantalizing brevity as the welterweight champion of the world. Akins won the title last June and his camp boasted that he would "hold it for five years." Six months later, in his first de fense, the man who had fought so long and so fruitlessly lost it to voung Don Jordan. Now he surprisingly has been installed as 7 to . tavonte to re gain the crown in their return at St. Louis on Friday night despite the persistent insinuations along the boxing beat that he. is "Ihrouch." There are many factors against Akins rebounding to the heights The first of these is that, at 31, he is regarded as an old man of the ring because of the long, bitter road he followed to the top. Ho was, like ancient Archie Moore and stringy Joe Brown, a man for whom the breaks came late. WINS BY KAYO . When the opportunity finally did arrive, Akins hit the jackpot in celebrated style. He knocked out Vince Martinez in four rounds to pick up the bauble .abandoned by Carmen Basilio when the rugged onion farmer ate himself into the middleweight class for a crack at Ray Robinson. UW Capitalizes On U Of I Errors MOSCOW, Idaho (APl-Wash-ington took advantage of seven Vandal errors Monday in heating Idaho 8-5 in a Northern Division baseball game on only one earned run. Idaho was ahead 5-0 in the' fourth, but then committed all ol its bloopers in the next five innings to ruin a fine throwing effort by Val Johnson. Washington used three more pitchers alter Earlc Irvine wcnl out alter three ' w ith a sore arm after giving up only one hit. Sox Officia Will Appear BOSTON (UPI) - An unidenti fied Boston Red Sox official to day was scheduled to appear be fore the Massachusetts Commis sion Against Discrimination to answer questions on the club's employment policies. Though a club spokesman re fused to say who would represent the team, he did say neither own er Tom Yawkey or vice president and general manager Stanley (Bucky) Harris would attend. The inquiry Is an outgrowth of the Red Sox optioning of Pumpsic Green; a Negro infielder, to the Minneapolis farm club after he stuck with the team through most of spring training. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People charged the Red Sox showed prej udice in their action. NAACP representatives went before the commission last week and requested an inquiry into the team's general hiring practices. They claimed the Red Sox have had plenty of opportunity to hire a talented Negro player. But Martinez that night was a caricature of a determined chal lenger. His forte was speed and he couldn't move. Akins, a para lyzing puncher, virtually put him away with the first punch al though he cozied his way to the finish. It was a different matter when, six monthsv later, Akins defended against the 24-year-old Jordan. The Californian went to him. bulled him, tied him up and shackled his fire power. Thus the man billed to rule for five years stepped down in six months. REFLEXES GONE? - They must figure now, those who make the odds, that he has turned "hungry" again since those six high months of cham pionship living. They remember that big punch and they analyze that in his home town he will be putting forth top effort once again. But those who make a business of boxing, and are uninfluenced one way or another in this one, deny that the "hunger" and, more important, the reflexes, can be regained. They point, too, to the rocky, rutted road which Akins has followed and whisper that this is not a dedicated warrior such as Moore or Brown. They say that once again Jor dan will outspced him, crowd him and dazzle him with a flicking jab and lightning combos while Akins holds that right hand cocked for an opening which never comes. It , will be interesting to witness the truth or fiction of their analysis but you have to feel certain sympathy lor the fa vored veteran who actually is shouldering the odds.

TU 4-4816 The Big Blow, Big Pitcher Boost Dodgers Into Second By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS For the first time since they blew out of Brooklyn, the Dodgers are sitting second in the National League. They got there the way they used to do business, winning with the big pitcher and the big home run .Monday night as Charlie Xeal's leadoff shot in the ninth made Don Drysdale's three-hit, 11 strikeout job good for a 2-1 vic tory at the Coliseum over the San Francisco Giants and Sad Sam Jones. Drysdale, 22, called it his best game ever after collecting a 2-1 record and running up a string Al Kaline Swinging Big Bat DETROIT (AP) - Al Kaline is off to his best batting start in four seasons and he thinks he can keep up the good work. It has been suggested by the De troit Tiger front office that a good start by Kaline would assure a fast start by the club. The 24-year-old right fielder, who won the American League batting crown in 1955 before he reached his 20th birthday, has disproved that theory.' The Tigers have lost six of their first seven games but Kaline is hitting .467 on 14 hits in 30 trips. A notoriously slow starter, Kaline has hit well in the spring only once before, when he captured the crown with a .340 average in his second full year in the league. The outfielder hit the ball hard in spring training but failed to hit a home run in the exhibition sea son. The first time he came to bat in the regular season, Kaline sent into the left field scats the first pitch thrown him by Chicago s Billy Pierce. "That's what did it," Kaline said Monday during an off-day hit ting drill. "The minute I hit that bail I felt I could get off to that good start everyone has been talk ing about. Kaline's average dropped to .314 the year after he won the title, then to .295 the following season. Last year he batted .313 but his home run and RBI mark were down again. "Now I m trying not to swing so hard." he said. "If I j u s t hit the ball where it's pitched instead of trying to kill it. I'll get my share of homers and drive in my share of runs. People try to be nice when a guy is in a slump, and you get all sorts of advice and sugges tions. But I think I've been trying to take everyone s advice and con sequently I've been a pretty mixed up guy at that plate sometimes. Maybe if I keep my eyes open and my ears closed, I can have a real good year." MINOR LEAGUE Minor League Results By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS American Assn.

GENUINE SOUR MASH of 18 innings in which he has al lowed but one run. The Dodgers, who finished sev enth last year, never were higher than third in then inaugural sea son at Los Angeles. Fact is, they haven't been as high as second since Aug. 31, 1957 when they beat the Giants 7-5. At the moment, the Dodgers are just percentage points (.133) be hind Milwaukee's front-running craves, who were idle. The Gi ants slipped to third, a half-game hack. Only two other games were scheduled in the 'majors Monday, and both were rained out. In the National, Pittsburgh had a 1-0 first inning lead over Philadelphia before calling it quits. In the American League. New York's game at Boston didn't even get started. Dodgers 2, Giants 1 Drysdale, who now leads the majors with 25 strikeouts and has won four straight from the Giants since Aug. 8, was touched for Willie- Mays' first homer of the season with two out in the first, Then he put down 21 in order be fore Andre Rodgers singled with two out in the eighth. The young and lanky right hander's lone moment of worry came in the ninth. With two out, Jackie Brandt beat out a roller, and Mays, just missing another homer with a foul ball sliced to right, drew Drysdale's only base on balls. The Dodgers then put it away after Orlando Cepeda banged into a force out for his first hitlcss game of the season. Sad Sam l-2) lost his second in a row, giving up six hits, walk ing five and striking out two.
