Pitchers heading American tHace; Giants' Sanford Cops Thin Chicago, Twins Victors By FRED DOWN I'PI Sports Writer Who has stolen the home run thunder from the bats of the American League's sluggers? Was it the rules committee with its new strike zone regulation' Maybe the manufacturers have taken some of the rabbit out of the ball? Or perhaps the pitchers are getting away with that old devil the spitball? Whatever the reason, the pitch ers have been having a ball at the expense of the hitters during the first two weeks of the cam ' paign. The figures show that there have been nine shutouts pitched and only 59 homers hit in the AL's first 35 games. At such a pace over the entire season the pitch ers would accumulate 180 shut outsfar more than the league reijord of 146 set in 1009 and con siderably above the major league record of I63- in one league set by the National League in 1908 : Also, a mere 59 homers in 35 games represents a 13 per cent decrease in homer output from 1962 when AL sluggers hit 152 in 810 games. . There were only two games played in the American League Thursday and both resulted in shutouts. Dick Stigman pitched the first major league shutout of his career to give the Minnesota Twins a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels and Ray Herbert tossed a thrcc-hitler as the Chi cago White Sox beat the Kansas City Athletics, 3-0. Two homers were hit one by the Twins' Earl Battey and an other by the White Sox' Dave Nicholson. In the National League, the San Francisco Giants beat the Houston Colts, 6-3, the Milwaukee Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-5, the Pittsburgh Pi rates edged out the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-2, and the Chicago Cubs scored a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. ' Stigman, a 27-year-old lefty in his fourth big league season, gave up scratch singles to Lee Thomas and Albie Pearson and a solid double to Jim Fregosi. He struck out five and walked only one. Herbert, a 20-game winner last season, struck out five and walked only one in posting his first win of 1963. Floyd Robinson scored the lirst two White Sox runs after a single and a double and Nicholson homered in the seventh for their final run. Nelson Fox singled for the Sox' fourth hit the 2,400th hit of the little second-baseman's career. Oregon Duels Brigham Young EUGENE lUPli An improved Brigham Young squad provides the opposition for Oregon Satur day in a dual track and- field meet at Hayward Field. The Ducks, defending national collegiate champions, are favored, but a number of close individual battles are forecast unless weath er conditions become too bad. BYU has one of the nation's best javelin throwers in Terry Thatcher, who has a 240-8 mark this year. Oregon's best in that event are Les Tipton 237-10'i). John Burns 232-5' and Ron Go mez (227-51. . Oregon's two fine high jumpers. Paul Stuber 6-9'i and Terry L,'cwcllyn 16-91, will tangle with BYO's Bob Cow art i6-8'4. Coach Bill Bowerman's Web foots will be out to start a new Hayward Field dual meet winning streak. Southern California broke their last one at 36 in a meet here two weeks ago.

Your Guess Good As Ours On Area Athletic Events Your guess is as good as ours about this weekend's sports activities in the area. At the writing ot this article it didn't seem likely that the scheduled events of Klamath Union or Oregon Tech would go on because of more, and more, and more snow. This frustrating spring (it that's what It can be called) has severely hampered the athletic endeavors of the area athletes in baseball, track and tennis. As a matter of fact, It has hampered the entire state. Two big events were scheduled today with Oregon Tech holding the spotlight. The Owl track team was to have hosted Southwestern Oregon College and Central Oregon College trl. angular meet a( Modoc Field at 3 p.m. Coach Larry Burleson said the meet would be run off If the lane lines on the track could be seen because his boys needed the meet work. But more snow Friday morning could have crossed this one off the list. The Owl baseball team was to have met Oregon College of Education Friday afternoon in a single game at Gem Stadium and a doublcheader there Saturday morning. That, undoubtedly, will be cancelled. The triangular high school track meet, slated Saturday between host Klamath Union and Ashland and Bend, was still on late Thursday afternoon, but again the snow may have called that one. The Pelican baseball team was scheduled to go to Medford Saturday for a doubleheadcr with league-leading Med ford. The tennis team also was slated to take on Crater there today and go to Medford Saturday. That definitely is off. So, if you are a frustrated fan wanting an athletic event to watch, think of how the athletes feel having worked hard all week toward a contest which probably won't come off.

Another sell-out crowd of better than 15,000 will throng the Sports Arena tonight for the fourth same of the National Basketball Asso ciation "world series." The Lakers can tie up the series with a victory. Boston won the first two games on its home court last Sunday affd Tuesday The Lakers took game No. 3 on their home court W7ednesday night by a 119-99 score highest margin oi tne piayolis. Game No. 5 will be played at Boston bunday and, if necessary game No. 6 here on Wednesday and No. 7 at Boston Saturday in tins cross-country marathon. A record basketball crowd of 15,493 squeezed into the Sports Arena Wednesday night to watch Jerry West, with 42 points, and Elgin Baylor, with 38, pace the Lakers to victory. West and Baylor poured on the coals in the final period to give their team a 39-19 edge in that session. Previous quarters were closer and the score was tied twice at 10-all and at 83-all. The Celtics will welcome back to action this evening their prized rookie John Havlicek who sprained an ankle in the first game Sun day.

That 11 be okay with NL hitters if the big San Francisco pitcher carries out his Uireat. In fact. anything Jack does differently should be an improvement as far as the batters are concerned be cause he's become the "Mr. In vincible" of the league. Sanford reeled off his third vie tory in the row for 1963 Thursday wiien the Giants beat Uie Houston Colts, 6-3, and now has won 21 of Ins last 22 decisions in NL competition. The 200-pound native of Welleslcy, Mass., won 18 of his last 19 decisions in 1962. eluding 16 in a row between June 17 and Sept. 15. Sanford blew his top after the game because of two balks called against him, but he didn't lose control of himself or h i s stuff during the game. He merely coasted behind a 12-hit attack that earned the Giants there sixth vic tory in eight games.

The Minnesota Twins shut out the Los Angeles Angels, 3-0, and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 3-0, in the only American League action. Sanford, 2-1-7 in 1962, yielded five hits and struck out four. Howie Goss drove in all three Houston runs with a two-run homer and a single but his one- man attempt couldn't overcome a San Francisco attack led by three hits each by Willie Mays. Willie McCovey and Felipe Alou. Ex-Boston Red Sox rookie of the year Don Schwall gained a victory in his National League debut for Uie Pirates when Bill Virdon sin gled in the winning run in the ninth. Schwall retired with an up set stomach after eight innings but Elroy Face protected the one run lead in Uie ninth. Ken Boyer homered for the Cardinals and Stan Musial doubled bringing him to within one extra base hit of Babe Ruth's major league record Glen Hobbie, aided by Don El- ston's ninth-inning relief, beat Uie Dodgers for tlie first time three years and only the fifth time in his career when three Dodger errors treated the Cubs to three unearned runs.
