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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Drysdale, who now leads the

Willie- Mays' first homer of the
season with two out in the first,
Then he put down 21 in order be

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
