Dodgers Beat Pirates, Add To Loop Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International They said it couldn't be done, but they failed to reckon with Don Drysdale or those unpredictable first-place Dodgers. Never in the history of the National Deague has a ball club finished seventh one year—as the Dodgers did last—and then won the pennant the next—as Watt Alston's crew is threatening now. The odds - makers were convinced it just couldn't happen. They backed up that belief by making the Dodgers 25-1 shots before the season began. But those odds looked entirely out of line Monday night when the Dodgers stretched their lead to a full game by beating the Pirates, 9-3, behind Drysdale’s nifty sixhit pitching. The victory was Drysdale's first over Pittsburgh since 1957 and his third of the season Quite a difference from a year ago when Drysdale's record was 0-3 and the Dodgers were floudering in last place. The Los Angeles - Pittsburgh game was the only one played in the majors Monday. The two other ones scheduled — Chicago at Milwaukee and San Francisco at Philadelphia — were rained out. All the American League clubs were idle. Drysdale opened the Dodgers’ eastern swing by striking out seven Pirate batters. That gave him a total of 32 strikeouts so far, tops in the National League. In addition to his pitching, Drysdale, a guy who swings a mean bat, also collected two of his team's 11 hits and had a hand -in a five-run first inning rally that chased George Witt and sewed up the game for Los Angeles. By winning, the Dodgers opened up a one-ame gap over Milwaukee and San Francisco, who are tied tor second place. Ift the American League, the eastern clubs launch their first western swi-ig today.

Eligibility Case Hearing On May 29 BEDFORD, Ind. <UPI) — 41)6 Indiana High School Athletic Association's motion to dismiss a temporary restraining order in the much-publicized Stevenson eligibility case will be heard a day before Memorial Day. Special Judge Lester Nixon Monday set” May 29 for the hearing. The IHSAA wants the case tossed out on grounds the courts have no jurisdiction since the athletic group is private and voluntary and its members must abide by the rules and regulations of the, governing body The dispute conce.-ps Billy Joe and Frank Stevenson, on whose behalf a law suit was filed after they were banned last October from competing in athletics at Seymour High school. The IHSAA banned the boys on grounds that “undue influence’’ was used in the Stevenson family's move to Seymour from Joppa, 111., last summer. The Stevensons obtained a temporary restraining order against the IHSAA, but both boys were declared ineligible for basketball by Seymour school officials.

Seek Pacific Coast Division For NBA NEW YORK (UPD—Plans for a “Pacific Coast Division” that would include a Bing Crosbybacked team in Los. Angeles have been submitted to the professional National Basketball Association. Representatives of the Crosby group met here Monday with NBA president Maurice Podoloff to make their presentation. Plans call for the establishment of teams in Los Angeles, San Francisco. Portland, Seattle, and possibly Denver. Len Corbosiero, general manager of the proposed Los Angeles Jets, said thfe group has talked to Boston Celtics star Bill Sharman about the prospects of hiring him as coach. Sharman, former Southern California star, was said to be “interested.” In addition to Crosby, other backers of the Los Angeles team would be oilmen Gordon Neaves and Vito Guerino. The group hopes the new division could be added to the NBA in time for the 1960-61 season. However, a leagne spokesman said he doubted whether the leaguers board of governors wodld discuss the proposal at their current meeting. At the governors' meeting Monday, the league re-hired Podotoff as president for a three-year term at a “substantial increase” in salary. The league officials also voted to hold the annual All-Star game in Syracuse in 1961 and St. Louis in 1962. The 1960 game, to be played on Jan. 22 previously had been awarded to Philadelphia.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

American Grid Stars Signed By Canadians OTTAWA, Ont. (UPD — When Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton open their training camps in June there may be anywhere from 75 to 100 Americans, both bright-faced collegians and hardened pros, shooting for jobs with the Big Four Canadian Football League clubs. Ay tpld, thus far, the Rough Riders, Atouettes, Argonauts and Tiger Cats have announced the signing of 48 new Americans for the coming season, but the figure is expected to be almost doubled by the time the clubs reach their training camps in about 10 weeks. A United Press International survey shows that when it comes to “names,” the Riders are more than holding their own with thetr more wealthy brethren. Ottawa may be the “poor” club of the league, but it’s the one which has shelled out the most money for rjew faces thus far.

Sign Big Names High on the list of imports who will be wearing Ottawa uniforms for the first time this season are j quarterbacks Don Allard of Boston College and Ohio State halfback Don Clark. They, along with the veteran Frank Tripucka, are rated in the five-figure bracket, while Kentucky halfback Bobby Cravens will receive a reported SB,OOO. The Riders may hats had an even bigger "name player” in All-America quarterback Randy Duncan of lowa. However, when coach Frank Clair signed Allard, the club sold the negotiation rights to Duncan to the British Columbia Lions who later signed ' him for about $35,000 for two I years. i The Ti-Cats, league champions the past two years, rated ranks of the National Football League for newcomers, and of the 16 put under contract to date 8 have NFL experience. Drafted By NFL Among these are Don Schaefer of Philadelphia, Tom Dublinski of New York, Jim Glover of the Chicago Bears, Ernie Danjean of Green Bay, Ed Bell of Philadelphia and Clint Westemyer of Los Angeles. Amongeles. Among the collegiates are Ron Sabel of Purdue, Jim Tucker of Auburn. Duane Wood of Oklahoma State, Garry Morrell of Washington State, and Bronko Nagurski Jr. of Norte Dame. Ottawa hasn’t cornered the big name market by any means. ■ Toronto has signed highly rated Baylor guard Charlie Hortoft, Oregon end Ron Stover, a Rose Bowl record-setter last year, and tackle Pete Johnson, former captain of the Idaho University squad, while the Montreal list ift- : eludes ' second-team All-America guard George Deiderich of Vanderbilt and standout Louisiana State fullback Red Brodnax. The early season shopping has taken its toll on the NFL clubs. Allard was the first draft choice iof the Washington Redskins; 'Clark was the top choice of the Chicago Bears and Horton was selected on the second round by the Detroit Lions. Denmark Eliminates Yugoslavian Netters BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (UPD Denmark eliminated Yugoslavia in the first round play of the European Zone Davis Cup competition, four matches to one, Monday.

J Patterson, London Relax Until Fight INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —Champion Floyd ’ Patterson and Brian London neared the end of their training pace today and prepared to relax until their heavyweight championship bout Friday night. Patterson, who said he feels “twice” as fit now as before the Roy Harris match last August, certainly convinced sparring-mate Ike Thomas of it during a ring workout Monday. The champion demonstrated his potent knockout combination by decking Thomas with a stiff leftright combination. Patterson also worked one round with Julio Maderos at his Coliseum training camp. London, meanwhile, went three fast round* with Dusty Rhodes at Municipal Gardens and staggered the heavyweight several times with strong right hands. The 24-year-old Blackpool, England, fighter said he felt as strong as ever and announced his readiness to give Patterson a fight. London is on the short end of 10-1 odds. Today is expected to be the last day in the rtaining ring for both boxers until they tangle Friday.
