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

Paul Stuber 6-9'i and Terry

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. Spring,
where are you?

LOS ANGELES (UPI The
basketball players may be getting
a little tired but the fans are still
showing a lot of enthusiasm for
the championship best-of-seven se
ries between the Los Angeles Lak
ers and the Boston Celtics.
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. He may be able to take
some of the pressure off veter
ans Bob Cousy and Bill Russell.
Russell has played all but half a

Sanford blew his top after the
game because of two balks called
against him, but he didn't lose

coasted behind a 12-hit attack that
