Cards Defeat i Dodgers, Tie For Loop Lead By NORMAN MILLER United Press International For the benefit of those who thought the St. Louis Cardinals’ 1960 third-place finish was a fluke, manager Solly Hemus’ boys are showing off some power that indicate; this year they’re seriously shooting to go even higher. Shortstop Daryl Spencer topped off a three-homer outburst Monday night with a grand slam blast that gave the Cards a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Cunningham and Don Taussig also hit St. Louis homers. Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees and comeback-b ou n d Gary Geiger of the Boston Red Sox also hit important homers in Mon d a y’s abbreviated major league schedule. Mantle’s homer, with a man on base, was his first hit of the year and helped the Yankees gain a 3-0 triumph over the Kansas City Athletics. Geiger, out for the last half of last season because of a collapsed , lung, hit a seventh-inning homer that proved to be the deciding run in the Red Sox’ 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Reaches Milestone ! Duke Snider hit a two-run homier in a losing cause but it enabled the 34-year-old Dodger outfielder to reach a significant milestone. This was the 370th homer of Snider's career and placed him seventh on baseball’s all-time homer-hitting list. The Cards were one of the big surprises of last season when they wound up in third place. This season the consensus picked the Cards to finish fourth, but their j early-season showing hints they ! could be a serious pennant threat. Cunningham, whose batting avjerage slipj>ed to .280 last season after a .345 mark in 1959, collectjed a homer, double and two sinjgles Monday night. Spencer hit his grand slam — the third of his j career — in the ninth inning off reliever Larry Sherry. Spencer j also drove in a run with a single. Bob Miller, who took over the St. Louis pitching after starter Bob Gibson was knocked out in the seventh, was the winner, although he needed help from Mickey McDermott in the ninth. McDermott retired Wally Moon for the final out with the bases loaded. t ~~ Tie For First The victory moved the Cards 1 into a first-place tie with the idle j San Francisco Giants. The Cardsi Dodgers game was the only one I played in the National League] ! In the American League, Mantle’s homer and Whitey Ford's three-hit pitching sent the Yankee's on to victory over the A’s. Mantle also had two singles and a walk. He also drove in the Yankees' third run. Ford struck out eight and did not permit a runner to get past second base. Jerry Walker, usually Mantle’s nemesis when he pitched for the ; Baltimore Orioles, yielded the ‘ three Yankee runs during the seven innings he worked. Jackie Jensen’s single, a bases- ! loaded walk and Geirger’s homer I supplied the Red Sox with their ! three runs against the Angels. 1 Mike Fornicles, who last season set an AL record of 70 relief apipearances. came to the rescue of j starter Tom Brewer in the sevienth when Ted Kluszewski and i Steve Bilko hit doubles. Albie I Pearson hit a Los Angeles homer.

Employment Gain Reported In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Employment Security Division reported today there were 1.354.800 persons employed in non-agri cultural jobs in midMarch, a slight gain over midFebruary and the first improvement since last September. Director Lewis F. Nicolini said the mid-March total represented an increase of about 1,400 over mid-February. An estimated 152,700, or 8.5 per cent of the state’s labor force, were jobless when the March count was made. The February unemployment percentage was 9.2 per cerit. Seasonal expansion in construction and trade activities was given credit for the employment increase. Manufacturing employment actually dropped, about 4.000 below the February figure, but the drop was the srpallest in six months. Nicolini reported that steel mill employment climbed for the second consecutive month, and that foundry employment was higher. Cuts in auto production lowered employment in related industries producing parts and supplies. Many durable goods manufacturers reported some lengthening of the work week. Average overtime hours showed a net increase of about nine minutes per production worker.

Leo Durocher Is Suspended 9 ■ For Three Days ' LOS ANGELES (UPl)—Dodger coach Leo Durocher is riding out a three-day suspension for his shin-kicking duel with umpire Jocko Conlan in comparative contentment. The penalty, in effect, was just a slap on the wrist. National League President Warren Giles set Lippy Leo down for the three days, Monday through Wednesday, but at the same time indicated he was less than pleased with the conduct of Conlan who, like Durocher, has a low boiling point. Durocher and Conlan exchanged kicks to the shins Sunday in the fourth inning of the Dodger-Pitts-burgh game after the Dodgers staged a mass protest over a foul call by the plate umpire on Norm Larker’s pop fly. Durocher. in numerous rhubarbs with umpires during his tenure as manager of the old Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, laughingly said he was “overmatched” because Conlan wore shin guards. When he was first Risked if he had anything to say about the suspension, Leo kept his lip zipped and replied, "No. Not a thing.” He loosened up a little later and told reporters, “Whether you’re right or wrong, what can you do? Giles is the president. I’ve been suspended before and I know I can’t touch an umpire. What made me mad was getting thrown out of the game in the first place.” Conlan thumbed Durocher out of the game, he said, for throwing a towel on the field. Durocher claimed the towel did not go on the field but landed in the dugi out.
