Dodgers Bury Giants Under 13 To 1 Score ~ By MILTON RICKMAN United Press Sports Writer Johnny Podres. who pitched the Dodgers to their first world championship, also pitched them to their first victory in California with a masterful performance of 11 strikeouts that gave San Francisco fans an inkling as to why the Giants had become the despair of New York. Everything went right for the Dodgers Wednesday night as they slammed out 15 hits, including homers by rookie Dick Gray and Duke Snider, in burying the Giants, 13-1, on Podres’ nifty fivehit pitching. The Dodgers routed starter Ramon Monzant in the third inning after Snider hit his 425-foot screamer over the right field wall with one on to put them ahead, 4-0. Giant manager Bill Rigney called on Paul Giel, Jim Constable, Ray Crone and Stu Miller frorp his bullpen during the cour§4M>f the game but none- of them was able to halt the Los Angeles onslaught. Lasts Three Hours Like.most Giant-Dodger gamps, this one stretched three hours and three minutes The final out was registered at 2:18 a.m. e.s.t., long after most New York baseball fans were sound asleep. A crowd of 22,735 fans at Seals Stadium saw the game in chilly 55-degree temperature and although there was a bit of grumbling about the Giants’ pitching, there were no noticeable complaints about the fog from San Francisco Bay. Podres’ 11 strikeouts was his one-game high for the majors. He fanned nine during the first five innings and retired the side on [strikes in the third. The Giants [scored their only run off him in the sixth on rookie Jim Davenport’s single, a walk and a single by Willie Mays. Cimoli to Play Today Dodger outfielder Gino Cimoli was struck above the left ear by a pitch from Giel in the seventh inning but the club physician. Dr. Harold Wendler, said the injury wasn’t serious and that Cimoli would be able to play when the two teams meet again today. It was the only National League game scheduled Maybe it's only temporary, bui you can't blame the Kansas . City Athletics for being a bit excited j about sharing the American i League lead. They made it two in ! a row by beating the Cleveland Indians for the second straight 'day. 9-4. All the experts said the A s sac- ; rificed too much power in deals during the winter, but there was Ino evidence of it a soutfielder Bob Cerv drove in five runs with a i homer and a pair of doubles. Kansas City knocked out Ray Narleski in the first inning and Ralph Terry went bn to register’the victory although Tom Gorman had to rescue him in the eighth. Sobbing note: The Athletics also won their first two games last season". * *' Detroit, which got off to a [ wretched start last April, scored I its second straight victory over j the White Sox, 5-4, on Frank Boiling’s threeVrun homer with two out in the ninth inning. Three Unearned Runs Bolling blasted his game-winner i off Dick Donovan, who had been rapped for three singles by him earlier in the contest. All three of the runs were unearned since Charlie Maxwell reached first on Luis Aparicio’s error and advanced to third on Tim Thomp- ! son’s single. Donovan retired the next two batters, then worked the count to 3-and-2 on Bolling before rhe Tiger second baseman banged his 352-foot wallop. Bubba Phillips and Sherm Lollar each homered for the White Sox while Maxwell connected for I the Tigers. George Spencer, fifth of six Detroit pitchers, was the winner. Dave Sisler’s seven-hit pitching land Jackie Jehsen’s two-rtfn horn- ' er carried the Boston Red Sox to a 3-1 triumph over the New York Yankees. Sisler struck out eight, including Mickey Mantle twice, in posting his sixth victory over the Yankees in eight life-time decisions against them- He also singled home Boston’s third run in the fourth inning after Jim Piersail i doubted. Jensen socked his second homer of the season with Gene Stephens on base in the first inning. The blow, off loser Tom Sturdivant, proved to be all the Red Sox needed for their first victory of the campaign following two straight losses. -r—is— VALVE GRINDING Robert “Booher” Meyer ' D & (STANDARD) PHONE SERVICE I 3-2516 13th & Monroe Sts. ■■■fin■■■■■ ■■■■

Bobby Boyd Winner Over Neal Rivers CHICAGO (UP)— Middleweight Bobby Boyd got cute but he didn’t get hurt, and his manager believed today he might be ready for a "keep active” campaign leading to a title chance. Boyd defeated Neal Rivers, Bth ranked by the National Boxing Association, by an overwhelming margin in Wednesday night’s TV bout and the referee and both judges gave him no worse than an even break in every round, scoring him the maximum 50 points for the bout. But manager Bernie Glickman couldn't rate him that highly“He got cute in the last round and threw about 20 punches,’’ he said. “I told him not to take any chances. He had the fight won. and he wouldn’t get any more for knocking the guy out. But one right hand, and he might be out of there.” Boyd was close to his peak against Rivesr, but the latter, who had a three-eight winning streak broken by his seventh defeat in 48 bouts, wasn’t in peak form. “He got a nose bleed in the third or fourth round,” manager Norm Lockwood explained, “and it coagulated and interfered with his breathing.” .. .. Boyd was complimentary to his foe. “Man,” he said, “he can hit. He was punching me in the body hard, and I didn’t want any of that. But he never hit me good enough to daze me. Most of the time I was moving with the punch and he just knocked me off balance.” It was Boyd s 48th win against eight losses. He weighed 162 pounds against 160% for Rivers Navy Seeks Approval To Resume Drilling WASHINGTON (W — The Navy hopes to get approval soon to resume drilling for oi| on its extensive Wyoming Teapot Dome Reserve for the, first time in about 30 years. r A spßkesjnan said Justice Department approval is being awaited so a[ contract can be signed with private 6jl operators to drill for petroleum (for Navy use. The reserve, set up 'in 1915, was last drilled by the Mammoth Oil Co. in the -1920’5, and was the subject of an oil scandal during the Harding administration. It is now believed to hold some 10 to 12 million barrels of petroleum.

By OBCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP)- The one I hne was buried in the flood of ' opening day baseball copy but it spoke vblumesIt read: "RBl—Martin.” Those few letters proclaimed to the watching baseball world that Billy Martin still was at it. His single drove home the run which , successfully opened the season for the Detroit Tigers. It must have produced mixed reactions in places' like New York, [ Washington and Kansas City. Among the Yankees, who traded him away last season; to ■ Washington manager Cookie Lav- ■ agetto who was Billy the Kid’s I roonynate at Oakland in the long I ago: and at Kansas City, i from where he was sent to Detroit last ; November. Something Extra , It told all of them that the , scrappy, skinny guy still has the [ “something extra" which made ’ him Casey Stengel’s “boy” when ’ he was breaking in on the Coast 13 years ago. Those were the days when the ssrawny 16-year-old with a battered drug store glove and a scarecrow uniform stopped everything that thfe gnats led Oakland manager — destined to attain managerial greatness with the Yankees — smashed at him. That defiance, as much,as anything, has written the saga of Billy Martin. Two years ago he was labeled by teammate Gerry Coleman as the “best clutch player on the Yankees.” But in the front office they didn’t like him. He didn’t conform to the demanded Yankee pattern,, of off-field anonymity. Billy was an extrovert who liked the bright lights and, the accusation went, lured Mickey Mantle on the primrose path. It boiled to a head when Martin, Mantle, Hank Bauer, Whitey Ford, Yogi Berra and Johnny Kucks became embroiled in an after-hours fracas at the 1 Copa Martin was doomed. Peddled to Athletics Without consulting Stengel, the front office peddled Martin to Kansas City. It was a move which may have cost them the subsequent World Series against the Braves. A jockeying, nagging, battling Martin just might have turned the tide. Dazzling World Scries play always was his specialty. In 1933, after a poor season, BiUy took personal charge of the series with a record-tying' 12 hits. Among them were two homers, two triples and a ctouble for 23 total bases which erased Babe Ruth’s six-game mark of 19 total bases set in 1923. The kid whose nature demands a chance at the jackpot got a life when he was traded to Detroit. He has confidence. So those who know him weren't too surprised : that Martin’s hit should win the opener. Archery Shoot Here Sunday Afternoon "A step back on standard field round,” is the name of file shoot which will be conducted by the Limberlost archery conservation club Sunday, promptly at 1:30 o’clock. It will take place at the club’s outdoor range two mites west of Decatur on 224, and onefourth mile south- on the road that is east of the Erie railroad tracks.

Rolls 299 Score In National Meet SYRACUSE, N.Y. <UP> — Dick Karas of Chicago missed a perfect game by a whisker as he bowled 299 in the 1958 American Bowling Congress tournament Wednesday. Three bowlers went into the last frame with a chance for a perfect game. None made it but their margihs of failure were thin enough to keep spectators and other bowlers in almost constant tension. Karas came closest with his 299 game. Fred Potter of Erie, Pa., turned in a 288 effort and George Young of Detroit finished tip with 276 Only an obstinate seven-pin on his 12th roll after 11 strikes stopped Karas. Potter went astray after 10 consecutive strikes, and Young after nine. Karas and partner Ed Kawolics bowled 1327 for the doubles lead in the major standings’ change of the day. Open division rolling saw two teams move high in the standings as Helin of Detroit, took third place With 3043 and Ban-Jan Bowl of Dayton, Osb, took fourth with 3039. FMstaff Beer of St. Louis, still leads on 3210. The other switch was in the singles where Frank Celebre of Chicago, had 704 for fourth place. Mounted Patrols MONTPELIER, Vt. —W — State Civil Defense Director William Baumann announced the orVernont’s third Civil Defense Mounted Horse Patrol. Vefnont is the first state to adopt the use of mounted patrols to be used in the events of enemy attack, natural disaster or for patrolling woods and back road areas.
