Yanks Tuesday, .May 7, 1963 HERALD AND NEWS, Frick To Inform Loop Presidents Uniformity Need NEW YORK iUPH-r:rball Commissioner Ford Frick will in' form league presidents Warren Giles and Joe Cronin today that he (eels the balk rule should be called the same way in both the National and American leagues. This does not necessarily mean Frick is in favor of casing the rule. On the contrary, he has al ready said, "I am in favor of enforcing the rules." So far this season National league umpires have called 96 Phone Call To Pastrano Checked NEW ORLEANS (UPlI The Federal Bureau of Investigation checked today into a threatening phone call which heavyweight box er Willie Pastrano said he re ceived shortly before a Las Vegas bout last Saturday. Pastrano, a native of New Or leans who now lives in Miami, said an old acquaintance in New Orleans threatened to hurt or kill his wife and children if he went through with and won his fight against Wayne Thornton. He won the bout. The boxer called attorney Sam Monk Zeldon here and Zeldon had police arrest Vincent Bonomo, 27, a former preliminary boxer, in connection with the alleged threat. Zeldon said Pastrano was very upset about the call. Pastrano ral lied in the last rounds to defeat Thornton at Las Vegas. A return match is being scheduled. An FBI spokesman said an in vestigation was being made to de termine "if there is a violation of a federal law." Zeldon said he did not know w hy Pastrano was threatened. "Someone must have made a pretty good bet," he said. Pastrano and Zeldon are long time friends. The attorney quoted Pastrano as saying he knew Bo nomo but had not seen him in about three years.

"1 feel there should be a uni form interpretation of the balk rule by both leagues," Frick said. "When we are finished with our meeting today, I expect that the same instructions will be sent to all umpires in both leagues,' he added. "We all have to oper ate by the same rule." Frick does not have the power to change the rule, nor docs Giles or Cronin. The only way a change could be made is by base ball's official rules committee. which is not scheduled to meet until the winter. Frick s chief concern now is that a uniform rule be applied when the two leagues meet the annual All-Star Game July 9 at Cleveland and when they meet again in the World Sc ries this October. Otherwise, enforcement of the balk rule is strictly up to Amcri can and National League um pires, who are under the juris diction of Cronin and Giles. Giles instructed his umpires last week to return to a more liberal interpretation of the one second stop requirement for pitchers with men on base but balk calls in the National League! still have not decreased apprcci ably.

Pelicans To Meet Tornado The Klamath Union Pelicans, rained out last weekend in Grants Pass, were scheduled to travel to Medford to take on the league-leading Black Tornado, weather permitting. 1 lie Pelicans were to have played Grants Pass Saturday in a doubleheader on the Cavemen's field. But heavy downpours Fri day caused postponement of that set. The same may be true todav w ith the Medford scries. The Pels and Black Toinado have not met yet this season. Medford leads the league with a 6-0 record and Klamath is second in the stand mgs with a 6-2 record. A sweep over the Tornado is a near must for tlie Pelicans in order to win the league title Coach Bill Mansfield probably ill go with liis usual lineup. He will open with John Gray at first Lanny Guyer at second. Mike Kitching at short, John Parisotto at third. Larry Binncy in left field, Larry Smith in center and Rick Horn in right. Dave Johnson probably will open behind the plate. Others who could sec ac tion are Jay Paxton and Vern Pctrick. catchers. Marv Yunck in the infield and Tom Osa in the outfield. The probable pitchers depend on how many games are to be played. Rich Jackson or Gary Benson will start for the Pelicans with the other for relief if need ed should it be a single game. Each will start if It's a double- header.

SEE "EMPIRE", Suffers Third you would have known weeks ago everything was going to be okay with the Yanks. When some alarmists suggested this could be one of their off years. Manager Ralph Houk said not a chance. When questions were raised about Whitcy Ford's arm. the Yankee manager said don't worry. And when anyone asked when Mickey Mantle would start hitting, Houk always said soon. It looks as if he was right on all counts. Technically, the Yankees are tied for first place in tlie Ameri can League today with the Kan sas City Athletics but the A's had better hurry up and get a picture of that because that situation is subject to change on short notice. Yanks Crush Tigers Baring their muscles for the first time in weeks, the Yankees rattled off IS hits and ran up their highest run tolal of the sea son Monday night in crushing the Detroit Tigers, 10-3. The Tigers ended Ford s string of scoreless innings at 20 when they got to him for three runs in the fourth inning but the veteran southpaw still registered his third straight victory even though Jim Bouton relieved him in the sev enth. Mantle enjoyed a perfect night by driving ill three runs on three hits in as many times at bat Wilh the Yanks leading 4-3, he slashed a two-run homer off loser Hank Aguirre (3-3) in the seventh to make the score 6-3. Tom Trcsh, who also collected three hits, then unloaded a three- run homer off reliever Paul Foy tack in tlie eighth to cap a four run rally. Bobby Richardson also had three hits and drove in two runs. In the only other American League games scheduled, the Chi cago White Sox beat Kansas City, 5-1. and tlie Los Angeles Angels snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Pirates Beat Dodgers Only one game was played in tlie National League, with tlie Pittsburgh Pirates downipg the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4. Gary Peters of the White Sox, given his first major league start made the most of it by limiting the A's to four hits and belting a home run himself. Peters tired after eight innings, however, and Jim Brosnan picked up 24 hours earlier from the Reds, relieved him in the ninth and set down the A's in or der, striking out two of the three batters he faced. Southpaw Ted Bowsfield suf fered his fourth defeat against one victory, yielding 10 of tlie White Sox' 13 hits, including horn IS THE BIG ROOMER THAT'S GOING AROUNDI so is the price.

Albie Pearson drove in four of the Angels' five runs against the Twins by connecting for a pair of doubles, both times with the bases loaded. Pearson's second double came off Bill Pleis with one out in the ninth and broke up the ball game after Zoilo Versalles had singled home Bob Allison in the top of tlie inning to put Minnesota ahead, 4-3. Dan Orinski was cred ited with his first victory and Ray Moore charged with his first defeat. - Pinch Single Wins Johnny Logan's pinch single with the bases full climaxed a four-run rally in the sixth inning that gave tlie Pirates Uieir come- from-belund victory over tlie Dodgers. Logan s shot to right field came on a 3-2 pitch by Don Drysdale and snapped a 4-all tic. Jim Gil liam's throwing error made three, of the runs in the inning un earned. Drysdale, a 25-gamo winner last year, now is 2-3. Joe Gibbon, who relieved Pirate starter Bob Friend and was relieved himself, posted his second victory without a defeat.
