Don Drysdale Picked As Top (Hurler 01 'SB ■ NEW YORK (UP) — Don Drysdale, a 21-year-old fireballer with temper to match, was picked today by the United Press baseball committee to be the National League’s outstanding pitcher of 1958 Passing over World Series hero Lew Burdette and 21-game winner Warren Spahn of the world champion Milwaukee Braves, the writers gave Drysdale a tremendous vote of confidence by giving ..him twice as many votes as his colsest competitor. Drysdale, who is due to pitch the season’s opening game for the Las Angeles, Dodgers, was named by 18 of the 50 writers who make up the U.P. committee. AH 50 writers, three from each of the 16 major league teams plus the United Press’ Leo H. Petersen and Milton Richman, have spent the past six weeks covering the spring training camps. Looms As Game Great After talking to managers, players and othe experts, they brought back the word the handsome 6-foot-6, 200-pounder is about to blossom into one of the game’s great stars. A native of Van Nuys, I Calif., Drysdale had a 17-9 wonlost record last season and compiled a 2.69 earned run average that was topped only by teammate Johnny Podres’ 2.66-mark. The son of Dodger scout Scott Drysdale, Don already has made one of the most spectacular rises in his team's history. »■ He was signed on June 19, 1954, after pitching 10 games for a Los Angeles high school Only 43 games later — 15 with Bakersfield in the California League and 28 with Montreal in the International League—he signed a Dodger contract. Nursed Along By Alston That was in April, 1956, after the towering rookie caught the eye of Dodger Manager Walt Alston. Alston nursed him along carefully that season and he finished with a 5-5 mark and 2.64 earned run average. He started to take a regular turn last season but on July 15 had only a 7-6 record. Then, he dosed with 10-3 over the second half of the campaign. A sidearm fast-baller, Drysdale is particularly effective in night games and is considered the greatest' scourge to righthanded hitters the league has seen since Ewell Blackwell. Rival hitters also know he never hesitates to resort to the so-called “brush back pitch.’’ “I believe it is up to the hitter to protect himself;” says Drysdale. “I’m not out to hurt anybody but a hitter who takes a toehold over the plate knows he s accepting a certain amount of risk.’’ Nine Votes For Burdette Burdette, Who won 17 games last season and then : beat the New York Yankees three times in the World Series, received nine votes from the 50-man committee Spahn, the Braves’ 36-year old southpaw star, was next with eight while Jack Sanford, a 19game winner in his rookie season with the Philadelphia Phillies, got four votes. Johnny Antonelli of the San Francisco Giants, who had a 12-18 "off-year” in 1957. was next with three votes; Podres and Milwaukee’s Bob Buhl had two each and St Louis’ Larry Jackson, Los Angeles’ Don Newcombe and Mil(Note 3-Day Showing) Continuous Sun. from 1:15 Technicolor Wonder Show! “SNOW WHITE & THE 7 DWARFS” Walt Disney Cartoon Feature ALSO — Shorts 25c -50 c | o—o TODAY—"Destination 60,000” Story of Jet Test Pilots!

He was five and one-half lengths in front of Silky who was nosed out of second place by Furyvan. A week-day record crowd of 19,-_ 102 sent Silky to the post a 2-5 favorite. But when he failed to come up with a victory, they gave him and jockey Willie Shoemaker a solid round of boos. “Silky hadn’t run since March 8 and be needed a race under his belt,’’ said Shoemaker. "He made up a lot of ground but that Gone Fishin’ was flying down the homestretch, too.” ' Silky got as far as 29¥> lengths behind after the first half-mile. _ _ a Training Conference For Scout Leaders Six committee members from each Boy Scout unit in Decatur, Berne, and Geneva, will join those of Jay and Wells counties at Geneva Sunday for special training.
