Quarterback Leads
Late 49er Victory
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Y. A. Tiltle, San Francisco's
balding quarterback with a pen
chant (or last-second heroics, is a
leading exponent of the blitzkrieg
attack in the National Football
League.
Four exhibition games were
played during the weekend. Each
was a heart-palpilator. Each was
a toss-up. Each was won in the
last minute with electrifying
plays.

PORTLAND (AP) - Barnard
Motors of Portland defeated Ore
gon City Dairy Queen 9-1 Sunday
and won the Pacific Northwest
Regional Connie Mack League
, baseball championship.
Oregon City, battling uphill
from a loser's bracket, forced the
double elimination tourney into
a two-game final by winning the
first Sunday 5-3 from the previous
ly unbeaten Portland team.
Portland went ahead 3-0 in the
third inning of the first game as
Bob Stamsos drove in one run and
Ron Laughlin singled home two
more. But Oregon City evened
the count with three runs in their
half of the inning, on Jim Sands
ness' homer and a double by Mike
Higginbotham. Oregon City added
two more runs in the bottom of
the sixth.
Barnard opened the second
game with three runs in the first
inning and coasted to victory.

Tittle's was the most prominent
example of the blitzkrieg and the
most dramatic.
The 49ers trailed Washington
24-20 Sunday. The stadium clock
showed 59 seconds remaining.
Tittle began to formulate moves.
The 13-year pro veteran picked
rookie Paul Lowe of Oregon State
for the yeoman's share of the run
ning duties. The 178-pounder re
sponded with a key 40 - yard
scamper.
Nine seconds remained four
plays later. Tittle had his forces
massed on the Redskin 16. He
faded back, picked out end Clyde
Conner and fired a pass for the
touchdown that gave the 49ers a
27-24 victory in their debut under
new Coach Red Hickey.
It was the same story Saturday.
Zcke Bratkowski's toss to Rick
Casares with 41 seconds remain
ing gave the Chicago Bears a 19-16
victory over Green Bay. John
Crow went 71 yards for a TD in
the final three minutes as Chi
cago's Cardinals edged Detroit
21-19. A 43-yard jaunt by Walt
Kowalczyk midway of the final
period provided the winning mar
gin as Philadelphia defeated New
York 21-17.
Lowe made an impressive de
but. Besides his 40-yard gainer,
he romped 78 yards for a score
on his first play as a professional
Coming back from a 14-3 halftime
deficit, the Redskins went ahead
on Eddie LeBaron to Joe Walton
pass and plunges by Don Bosseler
and Mike Sommers. TJhen came
the blitz.

They laughed last- winter when
Boston owner Tom Yawkey traded
Jimmy Piersall, his flashy center
fielder, to Cleveland for Gary
Geiger, a nondescript flychaser
and Vic Werlz, a fading first base
man.
Joe Cronin, then the Red Sox
general manager, and Mike Hig
gins, then the field manager, were
in no mood for laughter. They
were quite upset when Yawkey in
formed them of the deal the first
and only one he ever made.
"It's your club," was the sub
stance of their lukewarm accep
tance of the boss' trade.
"I'll take the responsibility,"
said Yawkey.
The Red Sox owner can take
the bows today for one of the best
player transactions ever made by
the club
Geiger, only 22, has easily been
the happiest development in the
Red Sox' rebuilding program. The
fast-developing youngster is hit-
ling .279 with 10 home runs and
38 runs batted in. Wertz, though
hampered by injuries, is hitting

Big Mike won the $25,000 Motor
City Open Golf Tournament Sun
day without a struggle. He went
into the final round protecting a
seven stroke lead, shot a 69 and
wor. by nine.
The payoff was $3,500. That
makes it $14,000 over the last five
weeks and $46,000 for the year, in
eluding some unofficial money like
the $10,000 he won at the Tourna

tied another as he mastered
Meadowbrook's 6.616-yard layout,
which has a par of 35-3671.
Mike's second round 63 tied the
course record for 18 holes and his
winning total of 268 was five
better than Meadowsbrook's previ
ous 72-hole total.
Doug Ford finished strong with
rounds of 67 and 70 to attain a sec

Bill Casper Jr., who had a final
day 69. Each won $2,050.
Art Wall Jr., the Masters Cham

Geiger and Wertz played key
roles in the Red Sox near-sweep
of a four - game series with the
New York Yankees. It wasn
their fault that the Yankees won
the second game Sunday, 4-2
after the Red Sox had won the
opener, 6-5.
Kansas City defeated Chicago
7-2 and narrowed the White Sox
first place lead over Cleveland to
three games. The Indians lost an
opportunity to pick up more
ground when a violent rainstorm
in Detroit postponed their game
in the second inning after they
had scored five runs in the first.
Washington whipped Baltimore
6-1.
BoSox 6-2, Yanks 5-4
The Red Sox scored all their
first game runs and made all
their hits six in the second
inning, inflicting the seventh loss
upon Duke Maas. Wertz ignited
the six-run rally with a single.
Geiger drove in the run that broke
a 3-3 tie with a single.
The pair, whose homers had
highlighted Boston's winning nine
run rally against the Yankees
Friday night, acquitted them
selves nobly in Sunday's second
game. Trailing 3-1 in the sixth,
the Red Sox came within an eye
lash of tying the score. Geiger
opened with a single, his third hit.
After Pete Runnels singled, Wertz
drove Geiger home with a long
single, sending Runnels to third.
Jackie Jensen smashed a ground
er toward left field but shortstop
Cletis Boyer converted it into an
inning-ending double play with a
fine stop.
Mickey Mantle provided the
lusty hitting for New York. He
drove in two runs with a home
run, his 24th of the season, in the
first inning and scored in the
eighth after walloping a double
off the bleacher wall, 461 feet
away.

Ernie Banks, Chicago's slugging
hortstop, may become the first
player in National League history
to be voted the circuit's most val
uable player in two years in succession.
Two National Leaguers Stan
Musial and Roy Campanella
won the coveted honor three times
and two others Rogers Hornsby
and Carl Hubbell won it twice
but nobody has done it twice in
succession.
Banks strengthened his claim
Sunday, banging a two-run homer
his 36th of the season as the
Cubs defeated the San Francisco
Giants 5-4 for their third victory
in the four-game series. Ernie
also was on base when Lee Walls
smashed a three-run homer off
loser Johnny Antonclli to break a
2-2 tie.
Ernie, batting .312, leads both
leagues with 112 runs batted in
and is tied for the lead with Wash
ington's Harmon Killebrew in
home runs. Last year he led both
leagues with 47 home , runs and
129 runs batted in.
Despite the defeat, the Giants
retained their 2',i game lead over
Los Angeles when St. Louis de
feated the Dodgers 5-3. Milwau
kee's third place Braves split with
Pittsburgh, winning the second
game of a doubleheader 5-2 after
the Pirates had won the opener
2-1. Philadelphia swept a twin bill
from Cincinnati 8-5 and 6-0.
Cubs 5, Giants 4
Banks was an unexpected start
er. He had been hit on tne DacK
by a pitch Saturday and doctors
said it would be several days
before Ernie would be able to
play. 1
Bob Anderson was the winner
but he needed help in the eighth
inning from Don Elston, who
struck out pinch hitter Felipe Alou
with two runners on base. Willie
Mays drove in two Giant runs
with his 21st homer.
Cards 5, Dodgers 3
Larry Jackson pitched a 10-hit-ter
as the Cards evened the four
game series with Los Angeles.
Bill White and rookie Gene Oliver
drove in all St. Louis' runs. White
knocked in two with a single and
his 11th homer. Oliver had a two
run single and a sacrifice fly.
Roger Craig was the loser. Four
were ejected in the argument-
filled game, manager Solly He-
mus, Don Blasingame and Ken
Boyer of the Cards and Duke
Snider of the Dodgers.
Bucs 2-2, Braves 1-5
Bob Friend, after seven failures,
finally won his 100th game, fifth
of the season. The Pirates' 22
game winner of 1958 was tagged
for 11 hits in the opener but his
mates helped him with three dou
ble plays and relief pitcher Bob
Porterfield came to his rescue in
the ninth when the Braves got
their lone run. Dick Stuart drove
in both Pittsburgh runs off Juan
Pizarro with a homer. Warren
Spahn won the second for the
Braves, doling out eight hits for
his 16th triumph. Rookie Lee
Mays and Frank Torre, with two
hits and two runs each, paced the
Braves' nine-hit attack.
Phils 8-6, Reds 5-0
Shortstop Joe Koppe hit a three
run homer to feature a six-run
sixth inning attack in the first
game and Don Cardwell pitched
a six-hit shutout in the second
game to highlight the Phils' double
victory over Cincinnati. Wally
Post's 15th homer, with a man on
base, in the first inning, off loser
Jay Hook, was all Cardwell
needed.

Portland's Pacilic Coast League
baseball team, still in first place
but by the slimmest of margins,
expects to play tonight before its
200.000th home fan of the season.
The Beavers divided a twin bill
against Salt Lake City Sunday,
winning 6-5 then losing 4-3, as
5.208 tans looked on.
It will take nearly that number
tonight to hit 200.000 for the year
to date, but the two pitchers with
the league's best records will
oppose each other and another
lure will be the fact that first
place in standings will be at stake.
Vancouver came within a half
game of the lead Sunday, defeat
ing Phoenix 2 0, while Salt Lake
City dropped to third, a full game
back of Portland, in the split.
Tonight's Portland pitcher will
be Ken Johnson (15-5) and Salt
Lake's Dick Hall (14-4).
Seattle and San Diego also split,
the Padres taking the first game
and the Rainiers the second one
The score was 2-0 each time. The
loss ended an ll-game winning
streak for Seattle.
In a batting battle at Spokane
the Indians were outhit 13-12 but
managed to come out the winner
on the scoreboard, 11-10. Seven
home runs sailed over the wall,
pushed by a 30-mile wind.
Vancouver hurler George Bam
berger, showing almost perfect
control" again, recorded his eighth
victory against five losses. Bam
berger knocked out two doubles
and a single in three trips to the
plate. ,
On the mound he scattered six
Phoenix hits and issued no walks.
He struck out five. Only ' three
Phoenix players reached second
base. Phoenix pitcher Marshall
Renfroe shut the Mountics out un
til Bamberger doubled to deep
right center in the sixth.
The keen-eyed pitcher went to
third on a sacrifice by Marv
Breeding and scored the winning
run when Jim Finncgan pulled off
suicide squeeze.
Dick Smith and Ken Retzer of
San Diego accounted for the scor
ing in the first game at Seattle.
Smith got on base by walking in
the first. He scampered to third
when Don Dillard hit a double to
right field. Ken Kraynak hit a fly
to the same area and Smith
scored after it was caught.
Retzer tallied in the second. He
singled. Then Billy Hunter singled
and Retzer moved ahead. Then
Steve Jankowski singled tp right.
Retzer went to third. He made it
home when pitcher Dick Stigman
hit one to second baseman Cal
Bauer, who threw wide. at second
A wild pitch in the ninth and a
triple in the seventh accounted for
the winning runs at Portland.
Salt Lake's Jim Umbricht threw
the wild one to score Milt- Graff
in the final inning of the opening
game. In the second inning, the
Bees had spurted to a 5-0 lead.
Sam Miley tripled with the bases
loaded. Jim Baumer doubled Mil
ey home and Baumer raced home
on Chuck Harmon's single.
Baumer tripled in the linal in-i
ning of the second contest after
Hugh Pepper walked. The Bees
took an early lead in the second
game, too, 3-0, and Portland again
wiped it out. But this time the
Bees came back.
In windy Spokane, Frank How
ard and Tony Roig each hit horn
ers for the winning Indians and
Tom Davis added another. Al
Heist hit a pair for the Solons
Sacramento took a fat lead with
a live-run second inning, three
tallies on Heist's first blast. Spo
kane more than balanced this
with a seven-run third as Howard
and Davis both lofted balls over
the fence.

CHICAGO (AP)-lndestrucliblc
Ernie Banks long has amazed the
baseball world wilh the power he
generates within his lithe body.
The Chicago Cub shortstop now
is baffling medical science.
Banks, who easily could become
the first to be named the National
League's most valuable player in
two successive seasons, was hit
in the back by one of Jack San-
ford's fast balls in the first inning
of Saturday's game against San
Francisco.
The 28 - year old shortstop
cringed with pain but continued to
play. By the sixth inning he was
forced to leave because his shoul
der stiffened.
Doctors said it would be three
or four days before he could play
again.
Chicagu Cub Manager Bob
Scheffing said "we'll wait and
see."
Banks showed up at Wrigley
Field Sunday and went to the rub
bing table. After some 40 minutes
of heat treatments, he suited up
and took his position on the field.
Willie Mays hit a two run homer
in the first inning to put the Gi
ants ahead. Banks came up in the
bottom of the first with one on
and two out and hit his 36th hom
er into the left field bleachers.
Amazing?
"Not when Banks' concerned."
said Scheffing. "If he isn't the
most valuable player in baseball
then I don't know who is.
"He's no holler guy," said
Scheffing, "but he's our steadying
influence on the field."
Banks, who leads the league
with 36 homers and 112 RBI
could become the second player
to lead in both departments two
years in a row.
