Chuck Dressen Is Happy At Tiger Victory By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sport* Writer Charlie Dressen, a grand little guy even if he does have the subtlety of a sledgehammer, wants to know whether the Kansas City A’s wish to make any more trades. Charlie isn’t agitating, he’s simply asking because he sure likes the last one they made with his Detroit Tigers. Dressen put his personal stamp of approval on that deal even though it meant sending slugger Rocky Colavito to Kansas City last November. The part that pleased Charlie was that second baseman Jerry Lumpe and pitchers Dave Wickersham and Ed Rakow came to Detroit in return. Sitting there in the dugout, Dressen was tickled about the deal all over again Tuesday when Lumpe cracked out a triple, double and a single and Wickersh'atn came out of the bullpen to nail down a 7-3 victory for the Tigers in their home opener with the Athletics. Regan Tires Slightly Even though Detroit collected 12 hits, including homers by Norm Cash and Bill Bruton, winning pitcher Phil Regan showed signs of tiring when he was nicked for a home run by Jim Gentile in the seventh and another by pinch hitter Manny Jimenez in the ninth. Wickersham was summoned with two on and two out in the ninth to face Colavito, hitless all day. Rocky was safe on an error, one run scoring, and after a walk to Doc Edwards filled the bases. Wickersham got ex - teammate Gino Cimoli on a grounder to end the game. Orlando Pena was the loser. The Baltimore Orioles used a barrage of homers to hand the Chicago White Sox their first opening game loss since 1958, 5- and the Minnesota Twini edged the Cleveland Indians, 7- in other American League actidn. Rain washed out the opener between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees while the Los Angeles Angels and Washington Senators were idle. In the National League, San Francisco mauled Milwaukee, 8- Chicago beat Pittsburgh, 8-4, in 10 innings; Philadelphia defeated New York, 5-3, and the. world champion Los Angeles Dodgers blanked the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-0. Houston and Cincinnati were idle. Homer Breaks Tie Boog Powell’s two- run homer in the eighth inning broke up a 3-3 tie between the Orioles and White Sox and was one of three homers hit by Baltimore. Powell connected off. loser Hoyt Wilhelm, who had been greeted by Luis Apricio’s triple after relieving starter Gary Peters in the eighth. John Orsino and Joe Gaines also homered for the Orioles as Stu Miller gained the victory with three scoreless innings in relief. Rich Rollins singled home the tying and winning runs for the Twins in the sixth inning after they had trailed the Indians, 6- at one point. Earl Battey rapped Cleveland starter Ji m (Mudcatl Grant for a three-run homer in the fourth although Jerry Walker, who came on in the fifth,, was the losing pitcher. Leon Wagner, the ex-Angel, making his first start for the Indians, drove in four-runs with a three - run homer and a single and Woodie Held also homered with the bases empty. .. Southpaw Jim Roland, the Twins' fourth pitcher, held the Tribe hitless over the last four innings although Jim Perry was the winner. New York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAY PRICES A. T. & T. 139.

Detroit Evens Hockey Series With Toronto TORONTO (UPI) — The Detroit Red Wings are back on even terms with the Toronto Maple Leafs in their Stanley Cup final series today — and much of the credit belongs to Gordie Howe. The indefatigable right wing set up a pair of goals, including a wrist shot by Larry Jeffrey at 7:52 of the first overtime period, to earn Detroit, a 4-3 victory over the Leafs Tuesday night. Howe, playing in his 126th playoff game, also drew an assist on a second period goal by Floyd Smith as the Red Wings knotted the best-of-seven series at one game apiece. The Leafs came from behind with two goals in the third period to send the game into overtime, but “old man” Howe then teamed with Jeffrey for the Wings’' “sudden death” 'goal. Mobbed By Teammates Jeffrey was mobbed by happy teammates after he had fired Howe’s passout from behind the net into the lower corner past Johnny Bower. The Toronto netminder had stopped 45 other shots during a hectic evening. The Leafs were almost prohibitive favorites to win the first two games at home, but the series has suddenly taken an interesting turn after two close games. The Leafs won the opener, 3-2, when Bob Pulford scored with just two second left in regulation time. Toronto, gunning for its third straight Stanley Cup, almost pulled this one out of the fire, too, as it scored twice in the third period. A goal by Gerry Ehman with just 43 seconds remaining in regulation time tied the score nt 3-3. Ehman’s goal came just two seconds after the Wings had successfully killed a penalty to Al Langlois. The Leafs, trailing 3-2. buzzed the Detroit net ’ and were finally rewarded when a shot by Andy Bathgate from the side of the net went off Ehman’s skate and through Terry Sawchuk’s pads. red Kelly had put the Leafs close at the'll:s7 mark of the third period when he deflected Bobby Baun’s shot from the blueline over Sawchuk. Before Kelly’s goal, the Red Wings had dominated play with persistent forechecking and dogged backchecking. They had scored twice in the second period for a seemingly comfortable 3-1 lead. ” ? It was 1-1 after the first 20 minutes on goals by Toronto defenseman Allan Stanley and Detroit’s Norm Ullman. Eddie Joyal converted a pass from Doug Barkley early in the second to put the Wings in front, 2-1. Then late in the period, the Red Wings went ahead, 3-1, when Smith’s attempted passout from behind the net caromed off Tim Horton’ss back and past a surprised Bower. The teams return to Detroit’s Olympia for the third game pf the best-of-seven series Thursday night. The fourth game will be played in Detroit Saturday.

Koufax Blanks Cardinals In Season Opener By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Somebody ought to tell Sandy Koufax the World Series is over, or maybe he’s just tuning up for the next one. The way he was sweating, concentrating and pitching Tuesday night, he looked as if he was still in the last one. Koufax polished off the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-0, before a crowd of 50,451 and had the added distinction of being the first Dodger pitcher to hurl a shutout in a season opener since 1940. Sandy, «w h o concedes there’s a possibility he can better his spectacular 25-5 record of last year when he also fashioned 11 shutouts, dazzled the Cardinals more with his control and curve last night than with his speed. He struck out only five but did not walk a batter while giving up six singles. Brogiio Is Loser For five innings, loser Ernie Brogiio was as good as Koufax, but the Dodgers broke his service in the sixth and scored the only run they really needed when Willie Davis singled, advanced to third on a stolen base and an infield out and then came home on Ron Fairly’s single through the box. Maury Wills, who had three of the Dodgers’ 10 hits, helped them score another run in the seventh and big Frank Howard clipped reliever Ron Taylor for a two- run homer in the eighth. Apart from Koufax, only one other major league pitchers managed to go nine innings Tuesday. He was Juan Marichal, who hurled San Francisco to an 8-4 victory over Milwaukee with the help of. five homers, including a pair by Willie Mays. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets, 5-3, and the Chicago Cubs outlasted the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-4, in 10 innings in the only other National League game. Twins Shade Indians Over in the American League, Minnesota shaded Cleveland, 7-6, Detroit downed Kansas City, 7-3, and Baltimore defeated Chicago, 5-3. Rain forced postponement of the Boston - New York opener. Mays drove in three of the Giants’ runs with his two homers and “his second one drove loser Warren Spahn to the showers in the eighth inning. A crowd of 42,894, largest ever to watch the Giants in a regulation game since they left New York for San Francisco, also saw Tom Haller, rookie Jim Ray Hart and Orlando Cepeda connect for the winners. Marichal gave up seven hits but settled down and pitched scoreless ball after the third inning. KUppstein Gets Win Although Bobby Wine singled home another run in the second for Philadelphia, starter Dennis Bennett didn’t hang around long enough to be the winner. He left after 4 2-3 innings and Johnny Klippstein, who relieved him, held the Mets scoreless thereafter to earn the win. Billy Williams’ two- run homer highlighted a four - run 10th inning outburst against reliever Elßoy Face and settled matters between the Cubs and Pirates. Williams’ homer was the Cubs’ third of the game, Andre Rodgers and Dick Bertell having connected earlier. Face, you might say, had a little trouble with his fork ball. He faced four batters in the 10th and gave up a single, two doubles and a__. homer. Larry Jackson was the winner although Lindy McDaniel relieved him in the 10th after he yielded a single.

Bowler Directory To Be Published INDIANAPOLIS — An official X>f the American Bowling Congress from Decatur may have assisted bowling in taking a huge forward step here. ABC association secretary Ted Eyanson, of Decatur, was among the more than 100 similar officials who gathered here over the weekend to learn details of a project developed by a fellow Hoosier, which may eliminate one of bowling’s most thorny problems — “the sandbagger.” A directory service developed by Victor Gough of Gary, and now a property of the Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation will carry the name and established league averages of every one of Indiana’s 200,000 sanctioned league bowlers. Donnelley is a subsidiary of Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. Donnelley will turn the directory into a nation-wide project, which means that America’s more

Wm. Stratton Indicted For Tax Evasion CHICAGO (UPD— William G. Stratton, once the youngest member of Congress and the youngest governor of Illinois in more than a century, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for income tax evasion, it was announced today. Stratton was charged with evading nearly $47,000 in income taxes from 1957 through 1960, during his second term as governor. Die government charged in the indictment that Stratton had $92,900 in unreported income during the period. The announcement of Stratton’s indictment was made by U.S. Dist. Atty. William Hanrahan. Hanrahan said he delayed announcement because he did did not want to “disturb an orderly election.” Tuesday was Illinois’ primary election day. Stratton, on the sidelines since his defeat for reelection in 1960, had been living in virtual retirement but was reported working quietly behind the scenes for Charles H. Percy, who won the GOP gubernatorial election. The indictment returned by the August grand jury was returned following receipt of information supplied to the jurors by special assistant U.S. Atty, Vincent P. Russo, who was sent here for the purpose. Stratton’s name had been linked with a possible income tax prosecution last October, when his name was read into a federal court record at a hearing before U.S. District Judge William P. Campbell. However, at that time assistant U.S. Atty. Vincent Russo declined to reveal the object of the investigation. Hanrahan said Stratton’s bond would be set at $5,000. Hanrahan said he was not certain that Stratton had been served with the indictment.
