Dodgers Come Up With The Right Answers

Sy United Press International When does .431 equal .688? Ask that question in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Vero Beach, Fla., training camp and the lowliest rookie will come up with the right answer. It's when Tommy Davis is hitting .431 because there’s no better explanation for why the Dodgers are playing .688 ball with 11 victories in 16 exhibition games. Just as there is no better explanation for the Dodgers' disappointing .494 won-lost percentage in 1964 than Davis’ .275 average. The Dodgers know their pitching should be among the best in the National League this year but are concerned over their run-scoring ability, especially in view of the winter trade that sent slugger Frank Howard to the Washington Senators. That’s whyit's so important to them that T. Davis seems to have

a double Monday when the Dodgers beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-3. In addition to his .431 average, Davis is slugging at an .804 clip and has hit no fewer than four homers. Don Drysdale pitched seven strong innings before weakening as the Dodgers snapped the Orioles’ five-game winning streak. Ron Taylor and Barney Schultz, the “long’’ and “short” relievers of the bullpen, pitched impressively as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Minnesota Twins 5-2. Taylor yielded his first run in 10 innings this spring when Tony Olive homered in the first inning while Schultz pitched three perfect innings after taking over for Taylor in the fifth. Lou Brock’s triple and Bob Decker's double led the Cardinal's attack. Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Reds downed the Kansas City Athletics 6-3 with the aid of 3

Bullets To Meet Hawks Tonight BALTIMORE, Md. UPI — The Baltimore Bullets, ready to cast sentiment and Bob Pettit to the wind, hope to clinch their series tonight against the St. Louis Hawks in the Western Division semifinals of the National Basketball Association playoffs. The underdog Bullets won two of the first three games against St. Louis and need just one more victory to clinch the best-of-five series and advance to the divisional finals against Los Angeles. A St. Louis loss would bring to a sudden end the fabulous career of Pettit, the leading scorer in NBA history. Pettit, out of action for a month in the latter part of the campaign with injuries, already has announced he will retire at the close of the current season.

problem.

The anchor men of the staff will be Mickey Lolich, who won 18 and lost nine last season, and Dave Wickersham, 19-12. After those two, there is a thinning of the ranks. Hank Aguirre and Phil Regan, each of whom won only five games in 1964 while losing 10, will get other starting spots, with Joe Sparma, another fivegame winner, and Denny McLain, who won only four, other candidates for the regular hurling rotation. Larry Sherry, once one of the top relief pitchers in the game, wants to be a starter, too, and will get a crack at it, although he was Detroit's best bullpen hurler last season, winning seven while losing five. Should Sherry break into the starting rotation, Regan would go to the

bullpen.

Fred Gladding 7-4 and Ed Rakow 8-9 also figure to be in the bullpen although Rakow also will get a shot at a starting role. Julie Navarro and the veteran Billy Hoeft are other pitching possibilities.
