San Francisco Overthrows Milwaukee Reign; Newcomer Arrives, Yanks Back In Business Sad Sam Becomes SF Hero By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If you think Sam Jones is the hero of tlie hour now that San Francisco has shoved Milwaukee's Braves out of the National League lead, forget it. Sad Sam is the Giants' hero of the month. It took Jackie Brandt's two-run ingle in the bottom of the loth to put the Giants .OOfi percentage points and a half-game ahead with victory over Milwaukee, the very least they could do for Jones. The big right-hander had given up two runs and five hits in the first three innings then allowed enly three hits the rest of the way. Two of those came in the 10th and two were by Billy Bru Inn, whose fifth homer gave Mil waukee a 3-2 edge in the top of the loth. Then the Giants got busy, chas ing Boh Buhl and ending Milwau kee's first-place stay that had be gun May 13. Ironically, it was Jones who was the loser when the Giants fell from first place May 5. And it was Jones who was beaten 4-2 by Milwaukee May 18, t)e day before the Braves took a 4'i-game lead over the Giants, Since then, a month to the dav. the Giants have won lft-and Sad!by ex-New York pitcher Ed Lopat. Sam has figured in more than a third of those victories. Now .-, Jones has won five of six deci. aions in thak span and has added two saves in relief, having a hand In seven of the 19 victories in the Giants' comeback.

Los Angeles rapped Cincinnati 6-2, and Philadelphia defeated Chi cago's Cubs 8-7. Giants 4, Braves 3 The Giants, who tied it 2-all on Jim Davenport's single, a walk and two force outs in the fifth, put it away after Buhl (6-51 walked Willie Mays leading off the loth. Orlando Cepeda's only hit, a single, sent Willie scamper ing to third and chased Buhl. Re liever Don McMahon then walked Daryl Spencer, loading the bases for Brandt's third single that brought San Francisco's largest crowd of the year 22.984 to its feet screaming. Jones struck out nine and walked but three while gaining a 1-1 season record last year with the Cards, who traded him to the Giants last winter. The Giants, who had 11 hits, vow have won three in a row, while the Braves have lost five of their last seven. Bucs 6, Cards 0 Vern Law (7-4) shut out the eeventh-place Cardinals, who had won nine of 11, on four singles, two by Gino Cimoli.

Proper Pitching Ed Lopat Tells Young Pitchers To Keep Eye Strictly On Target Editor's note Second of a series By ED LOPAT In order to pitch properly, a 'youngster must know what he is about to do- Don't get into the bad nanit of looking at the sky, at the ground or to the sidelines. Look at your target. That would be the catcher's mitt. The sooner you school yourself i 111 learn K" control I Dnnt try 10 Pick UP the 'aW O'Brien Wins 7th AAU Title BOULDER, Colo. (AP) A meet record by shotputter Parry 0 Bnen stood Saturday as the only new mark as the National AAU Track and Field Championships moved past the halfway mark. O'Brien pushed the iron ball 62 feet 2'4 inches Friday to win his seventh AAU crown but it was short of his world . record 63-2. O'Brien's AAU mark set last year was 6I-IIV4. Two collegiate stars, sprinter Ray Norton of San Jose State and hurdler Dick Howard of New Mex ico, succeeded to championships long held hy Bobby Morrow and Glenn Davis. Morrow, hampered by a sore thigh muscle for the past month, ran dead last against eight others in a qualifying heat and failed to make the 100-meter finals. Mor row won the century three out of the last four years in the AMI. He defended his other dash cham pionship in the 200 meters Satur day. Norton copped the lno by a hair breadth over San Jose teammate. Bobby Poynter. Both were clocked at 10.5 seconds. Norton's qualify ing :10.4 was the day's best time. Howard, NCAA low hurdle champion, never trailed in dealing Davis his first defeat in the 400: meters since the Olympic pre-! views at Brooklyn tn 1956. Davis1 missed his stride on the first hur-j die and kicked the fourth. He made a desperate closing bid to catch Howard but failed by three yards. j Harold Connolly of the Southern! California Striders won his fifth straight hammer championship I with a throw of 216 feet 10 1 inches. North Carolina College's! Lee Calhoun captured his third straight AAU title with a 14-sec-! nnd victory in the 110-meter high hurdles.

Get your eyes on the target when you come to the set pitching posi tion, and stay with that target. This will also help your follow through Once ou go into a pitching mo tion wiih your arms, jour eyes should never leave the catch er's mitt. Even after releasing the ball, follow the ball all the way in with your eyes. With this method of pitching you can see every reaction the batter has towards the ball. You can see what your pitch is doing and what the batter is doing. I advise youngsters to refrain from pitching every day or even every other day. Working daily does quite a bit of harm to the a"m. The arm must have prop er rest. When it comes your turn to pitch, say every fourth day, the warmup pitching on the sidelines should be done gradually. Throw the ball easy at first. Take your time so that the arm muscles will loosen up gradually. Ten to 14 minutes should be enough for a pitcher's warm up. Sacramento! Vancouver In Standoff By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Sacramento Solons and the Vancouver Mounties, the Pacific Coast League's No. 1 and No. 2 teams, had at each other twice Friday night in their hattle for the lead. It was a standoff. The Mounties won the first game 4-3 and then lost the ad vantage they had gained when the Solons powered back for a 5-4 de cision m the second contest. The opener was a completion of a sus pended game of May 3. The San Diego Padtcs dropped another half-game off Sacramen to's pace, to 3'i games behind, hy dropping a 6-3 decision to the Portland Beavers, who are in fourth spot, 4'j games behind. The Spokane Indians gave the skidding Phoenix Giants another jolt, 5-1, and the Seattle Rainiers belted the Salt Lake City Bees. 3-2. Vancouver's victory in the com pletion game came in the last of the seventh when Marv Breeding doubled in Barry Shetrone. The game had been suspended May 3 after Ave Innings with Vancouver leading 3-2. Clay Dalrymple'i pinchhit sin vie into rightfield in the eighth frame won the regular game for the Solons before a near capaci ty crowd of 8,019. Eddie Kazak plated the run. Ron Hansen and Brooks Robinson both got homers for the Mounties. The runs came in bunches at Portland. The Padres pjeked up three run in the first frame. Portland made it 4-3 in the sec ond, then completed scoring with a pair in the fifth. Duane Piliette won it and ran his record to 2-0. although he needed help in the eighth when the Pads loaded the bases with only one nut. Ken Johnson came in to retire San Diego without a run.

Myers, -FIa This depends on the individual and weather conditions. You throw maybe 75 or more pitches warm ing up. The first 20' or 25 balls should be thrown as you would throw a ball while playing soft catch. Then gradually increase the momentum to the point where you throw the ball possibly as hard as you can. Throw at least 50 to 60 pilches before you start throwing with all you've got. Cuban Invasion Success NEW YORK (AP)-The Cubans have landed and the situation is well in hand. A three-man invasion team from Havana established a beach head Friday night at Madison Square Garden. All three will be back August 7. The familiar cry of "arriba" that used to greet Kid Gavilan's flurries echoed in the Garden for welterweight Florcntino Fernan dez and lightweights Carlos Her nandez and Douglas Vaillant. Al though Hernandez was born in Caracas, Venezuela, Cuba claims him as its own because he has had all his pro fights in Havana. Fernandez, the "big boy" of the trio, stopped Stefan Redl, Hungari an - born resident of Passaic, N.J., in 1:07 of the seventh round. Fer nandez is a well-packed 144Vi pounder with a solid left hook. Redl, slopped for the first time in his 28-bout career, weighed 147 pounds. It was a strange ending. Fernan dez was winning going away when he planted a left hook on Redl's jaw. Down went Stefan in his own corner. He came up at nine, just beating the 10 - count. Referee Harry Ebbets took a look and asked, "Are you all right?" Redl said. "Yes" and then proceeded to walk out with his hands down. Ebbets quickly jumped between the men to slop it. 300 Pr.

ORFGON Rookie Chucker Fills Gap By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The old Yankees are back in business, with the help of a .new comer who was a long time com- mg. Hank Bauer and Yogi Berra had the clutch hits Friday night as the Yankees, still fiftb. closed within 24 games of the top with a 3-2 victory over Cleveland's American League leading Indians. But it was Jim Coates who put it away. The big rookie. 26. nailed the opener of a four-game series with one-hit pitching for 3 1-3 shut out innings in relief of injured Whitey Ford. Coates came on after Ford, who blanked the Indians on four hits for four innings, gave way be cause of a sprained ankle in a ty ing. two-run sixth. That rally ended with Minnie Minoso's thwarted theft of home and the Indians lost their second in a row after winning seven straight. They now have only a one-game lead over the Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles, I who are in a virtual tie for scc ond. ' Detroit retained fourth place hy beating Washington 6-4 in 13 in nings. Yanks 3, Indians 2 The - Yankees, only .042 points behind Cleveland, scored the clincher with an unearned run on Bauer's two - out single in the sixth. Bobby Richardson raced home with the run that put them two games over .500 for the first time since April 2.1 after leading off wilh an infield single and reaching second on shortstop Woody Held's second error of the year. Berra, whose tag on Minoso in a close play set off a rhubarb between the Indians and Umpire Charley Berry, collected his l,2O0th RBI with a two-out single for the first of two runs in the fifth. Loser Gary Bell (6-61, after blanking the Yankees on one hit for four frames, then wild pitched the other run home. Ford was in jured sliding as he was forced at second in that inning. Orioles 8-2, KC 2-0 The Orioles, winning four straight for the first time in more than a jnonth, put away the sweep on a joint shutout by Skinny Brown and Billy Lnes hacked by Gus Triandos' 17th homer the 100th of his career and Bob Boyd's RBI single. Brown (4-2), gave up five of the A's seven hits in the last two innings. Loes saved it by retiring pinch hitter Ray Boone on a fly with the bases loaded in the ninth.

GOLDEN GORSE Speca Man's Reg. 11.95 8M Boys' Reg. 9.9S T r88 - Spec. Shopping Cantor 'Hobos1 Assisting At Gates WENATCHEE. Wash. APi -"Medicine Men" and "HOBOS" are raising the turnstile tempera ture for a couple of financially shivering Northwest Baseball League franchises. Last weekend the Wenatchee! Chiefs played to an average crowd of more than l.oofl per night, the first time this season attendance there has reached four figures. All but bankrupt and ahnut ready to drop out of the league. Tri-City suddenly drew nearly 10,- ;00O people in five nights of play. The upsurge of attendance in the Kcnnewiik Pasco-Richland area was credited largely to a group of; fans who organized a "Help Our Braves Operate" club and took its initials for the "HOBO'' nick name. They sold tickets and programs. toured the area to drum up inter-1 est in the team and staged stunts to help entertain the fans at the gdmes. So successful was the proj-j ect that the HOBOS followed the' I team to Wenatchee for a series to help increase attendance here. Dressed to match their nick name, they cavorted in the down-1 town district and at the game. One of them sold 240 scorecards more than an entire crew has been able to sell any other night this season. Now a group of Wenatchee base ball boosters have organized the "Medicine Men" to help Iheir Chiefs and their first official act will he to "reopen the season" Tuesday when the Eugene Emer alds play here. "We're anxious to remain in baseball." said a spokesman. "So we'll start all over to make the Wenatchee franchise a paying proposition. Our slogan Is base ball's own national slogan for 1959 'It's fun to be a fan.' " Mayor E. "Si" Simenson Willi throw out the first ball only the ball will he an apple, in the Wen atchee tradition. Another project will be a special "night" June 26 for Huh Kittle. Yakima manager and a favorite "villain" of Wenatchee fans. It will be called "Huh Kittle Night (mare)." Kittle has been one of the lead: ers in attempting to keep the league operating in the face of lagging interest. Only the Eugene franchise has been an outstanding financial success in a league in which all five teams are commu nity owned. Motorcyclists Set Meeting A newly formed group of local njotorcycle enthusiasts, originally calling themselves the "Gripstcrs" have now become the Klamath Falls Motorcycle Club, as of their most recent meeting.
