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,

Morrow, hampered by a sore

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.

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

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.

24 games of the top with a 3-2
victory over Cleveland's American

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

ing. two-run sixth.
That rally ended with Minnie
Minoso's thwarted theft of home

for the first of two runs in the
fifth. Loser Gary Bell (6-61, after
blanking the Yankees on one hit

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),

Last weekend the Wenatchee!

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

'It's fun to be a fan.' "

will be called "Huh Kittle Night
(mare)." Kittle has been one of the lead:
ers in attempting to keep the
