Newspaper Page Textf . 1 ' ,1 PAGE EIGHT Dodgers Command Top Spot; Don Drysdale Whips Pirates By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Virtually no one but the other players in the National League considered the Los Angeles Dodg ers a threat for (lie pennant. And even the players would shrug when they explained that the Dodgers "were too good to be seventh last year." So who's in first? The Dodgers. They made it a one-game lead Monday night, whipping Pitts burgh 9-3 with a five-run first Inning. That supplied all the cush ion Don Drysdale needed to beat the Pirates for the first time since 1957. It was the lanky right-hander's third consecutive victory after los Mile Run To Trim Hopefuls LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - The boom or bust Kentucky Derby hopes of 16 three-year-olds go on the line today in the Derby Trial, final tuneup before Saturday's $J25.O0O-added classic. The top eight or ten perform ers in the Trial, split into two divisions for the first time, prob ably will be among those going in the Derby. But today's mile run Is likely to convince owners of the lesser lights their charges don't rate an appearance in the mile-and-a- quarter run for the roses at Churchill Downs Saturday. The Derby picture remains wide . open. Still to be accounted for are up to nine other possible starters now In the barns at the historic track. The trial gives a tempting East- West flavor. Finnegan, standard bearer of California, heads the , field of eight in the first division at early odds of 8 to 5. And First Landing, last year's two-year-old champ from the East, is an even. - money favorite to win the second, Both will carry 122 pounds com pared with Derby weight of 126. Each division is worth $15.000-add-d monev. Two colts are expected to give Flrmegan a real fight.' Royal Or bit, another California contender, Is rated a 7-2 choice with Jockey . Bill Hartack riding. Chris Rogers will ride Bayard Sharp's Troilus, the Flamingo winner going off at early odds of 9-2. Finnegan, owned by Neil S. Mc Carthy, will have veteran Johnny Longden up. Mrs. Jacques Braunstcin's Roy al Orbit. Cain Hoy Stable's Hoist Away and Brlardale Farm's Rico Tesio carry 116 pounds. Mosby from Llangollen Farm and Holt- singcr and Davis Bernmattar car ry 114, and Elkcam Stable's Open View has 115 pounds. Eddie Arcaro, winner of five Derbys. will ride Christopher T, Chenery's First Landing. Clai borne Farm's Dunce with 114 pounds is rated the second choice In this division at 5 to 2 with Steve Brooks up. Our Dad, 116 pounds, ridden by Pete Anderson, is another contender.

Yankee Standing Sub-Par By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Not since 1952 have the New York Yankees been a sub .500 ball club going into their first meeting with the west in an American League pennant race. But that's the way the defending world champions stand as they open a 10-game tour at Chicago tonight With the Yankees having their troubles, the western clubs dorm nate the standings. The Baltimore Orioles, still chirping after a three game sweep at New York, have the unfamiliar role of spearhead ing the invasion by the eastern teams. The Cleveland Indians, holding only a one. game lead over Chica go after the White Sox swept the last three in a four-game,, weekend scries, are at home to the Boston Red Sox, tied with, the Yankees for fifth. The Orioles open at De troit and the Washington Senators play at Kansas City. The Yankees, with a 6-7 record and a four-game losing string, send Bob Turley (1-2) against the White Sox' Ray Moore (0-1). With his Yankees below .500 for the first time at any stage of the race since 1954, Manager Casey Stengel conceded that "a lot of things are wrong, and I just gotta do something." One move might be the return of Gil McDougald to shortstop, with Tony Kubck go ing to the bench. McDougald has been out of the lineup for more than a week, after being hit on the hand by a pitch. Kubek, whose Army discharge came shortly before the season began, apparently was the man Stengel had in mind when he men tioned that "too many grounders are getting between third and short." The Tigers, who had been ex pected to claim a first division spot, were given a pat on the back by Manager Bill Norman despite the frustration of a second six game losing streak. "It's almost amazing, he said, how these guys are holding up. They haven't been pretty, and they know it. But Ihcy haven't quit."

Val- Harvards Nix Need For Diets CAMBRIDGE. Mass. (AP) - Yes, ma'am. You say you've got a budding young athlete in the family and you want to know if there's any special diet he should follow? Not at all, says a panel of Har vard University scientists. What about special diets lot- lowed by some athletes? Hokus pokus, replies the panel. Should you load up the athlete on milk and red meat? No more than anyone else, the panel says. And the same holds true for the mature athlete. That was the con clusion a panel of dieticians reached Monday night at the Har vard Faculty Club. I know of nothing that would put the nutrition of an athlete on any other footing than that of any other healthy human being," said Dr. Jean Mayer, associate profes sor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. But he and Dr. Frederick Stare, head of the Department of Nutri tion, made one distinction be tween the diet needs of an athlete and those of a less active nature The athlete may need more of the same. Both stressed that all that is needed is just "a simple, balanced diet." Stare added a variety of foods is desirable, meat or fish fruit and vegetables and some oils. As to some of the special, par ticular eating habits followed by some athletes, Mayer had this to say: Weird diets are apt to be suc cessful just because the boys be lieve it has a magic quality NAMED RELAYS STAR DES MOINES.

Howie Reed allowed only three hits in registering his second straight win for Portland and Bob DiPietro started tnings on wiin a home run in the first. Phoenix, who spent much of opening week looking up from the PCL cellar, combined home run hitting with tight pitching into a step up the league ladder. Solo homers by Dusty Knoaes and Jose Pagan gave the Giants more than enough of a victory margin. Pagan also got a double and single while running his hit string to 13 games.
