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

enforcing the rules."

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.

umpires have called only eight.
"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

change could be made is by base

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

Quitting

PITTSBURGH (L'PI Bobby
Layne. one of the National Foot
ball League's greatest quarter
backs, has decided to quit and
devote full time to his family
and business.
Layne. a 15-year veteran of
NFL warfare, made his disclo
sure in a letter to Pittsburgh
Slecler Coach Buddy Parker aft
er a season which saw him set
career records in four passing
categories.
The Steelers disclosed Laync's
retirement plans Monday.
'Die 36-ycar-old Layne, who
now lives at Lubbock, Tex., was
an All-America football player at
the University of Texas.
He began his professional foot
ball career with the Chicago
Bears in 1948 bul was traded
quickly to the old New York Bull
dogs.
From there he went to Detroit
for seven seasons and played his
last five campaigns with the
Steelers.
Lavne holds NFL marks for
most touchdown passes 1,
most passes attempted 3.no.
most passes completed 1 1.814
and most yards gained passing
2fi.77B.
Parker, who said he received
the letter "three or four weeks
ago." had advised Layne to re
tire at the close of last season.
He said at the time. "I think
Bobby has played long enough
His arm is not as strong as it
u54xl to be."
Lavne replied to Tarker's sug
cesium bv saving he would not
return to Pittsburgh if the club
management so desired, but he
would play elsewhere.
He also rejected then, and
again rocentlv. an oner to oe-
come an assistant coach with the
Steelers.
I-avne and Parker first teamed
up
in Detroit in l!r0. The enm
hine saw the Lions win three
championships.
Parker came here as neao
coach in un7. a year laicr hit
acquired Layne in a trade for
F.ar Morrall. Lavne lost nis num
ber one quarterback job to Ed
Brown last season, who came in
the Steelers from the Bears.
Parker praised Ijyne as the

ever played."

1 lie Pelicans were to have

the league with a 6-0 record and
Klamath is second in the stand

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

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-

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

posted his second victory without

his fifth homer over Forbes
