SPUTTERINGS

By Wolter L Johns, Central Press Sports Editor

DONALD HOWARD SUTTON was Just another name on the Brooklyn Dodgers’ roster in the Vero Beach, Fla., training camp this spring, although the young pitcher had a spectacular one year’s experience in pro ball with Santa Barbara and Albuquerque last season. While those in the know figured the young righthander had some future prospects, it was doubtful that he could cut in as a regular with a pitching staff headed by Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Claude Osteen and Johnny Podres. But Don made it and made it big. He not only made the staff, but became a starter, and already has won seven games which has helped the defending champs to stay right up there in the pennant race. • • • DON SUTTON is an unusual young man. He’s been pitching since he was a youngster in grade school and surprises you with his religious training, his “Yes, Sir”* answers and his outlook on baseball. “I go to church every time the doors are open," he told us in an interview. “I’m in baseball because God gave me ability. My ambition is to be a success in baseball as a Christian athlete. I’m trying to break down some of that thinking of many kids that if you’re a Christian you’re a sissy." Don spends considerable of his off time speaking at

Don Sutton

Southern Baptist youth banquets and helps coach youngsters at Tate High school in Pensacola, Fla., his home state although he now lives in Clio, Ala.

* • e

IN HIGH SCHOOL Don had a 21-7 record and scouts already were looking at him. He had eight offers but decided to go to college and he attended Gulfcoast Junior College at Panama City, Fla., for a year. He pitched there, too, but wanted to go to a four-year university and went to Mississippi college, at Clinton, Miss. He played ball in the summertime in the Basin League. In the 1964 NBA tourney at Wichita, Kans., Don played for the Wyoming, Mich., team and won three of four games he

pitched in the tourney.

The Dodgers signed him on September 11, 1964, for a bonus at 121,000; sent him to Santa Barbara in the California League in 1965. He was 8-1 at Santa Barbara and

later 16-6 at Albuquerque.

His first pro year was a spectacular one. He pitched 24 complete games in 31 starts. He had 239 strikeouts in 249

innings and walked only 45.

His big asset is control and the scout who signed him

says he “can curve you at 3 and 2 and get fie ball over.'*

McDowell and Short Get Going After Late Starts

UPI—Sam McDowell waited two weeks for a start because his arm was sore. Billy Short waited six years because he was sore. McDowell was relegated to the Cleveland bullpen after reinjuring his arm on his last start June 16. Hie firebaling lefthander, “building my arm up in relief appearances,” proved to be in excellent form Friday night by hurling a complete game, two-hit 5-0 victory over California. ‘Tm glad to be back,” McDowell said after posting his

sixth triumph in eight decisions. “The worst thing in the world is sitting on the bench, knowing you can’t go in there.” Short, who first pitched in the minors at 17 in 1955, made his last major league start in 1960 wearing New York Yankee pinstripes. Short, selected in the draft by Baltimore in 1962, almost quit baseball several times during his tenure in the minors. What kept him going was a desire to prove Ralph Houk wrong. A remark made in 1960 by the Yankee skipper made Short sore . . . and more determined to make good.

Andretti and Hurtibise TacOlUd Beats

Lead Field in Indy INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Mario Andretti, Jim Hurtuhise and Norm Nelson will lead the 50 car field into qualifications tonight for the 100-mile Sesquicentennial Stock Car Races at the State Fairgrounds here. Current USAC champion Andretti and USAC stock car champ Nelson will try to make the field of 24 starters in the race for the $1,050 purse. Hurtubise and Andretti are scheduled to drive in the Firecracker 400 at Daytona Beach, Fla., on Monday. The bulk of the entries in the Indianapolis race are Fords and Plymouths, with Andretti heading the Ford team and Nelson and Hurtubise scheduled to drive Plymouths.

The first professional football game ever played was in 1895 when a team from Latrobe, Pa., defeated a team from Jeannette, Pa., 12-0.

Indians, 1-0 in 16 INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Tacoma Cubs squeezed & run across in the 16th inning of a marathon Pacific Coast League game against the Indianapolis Indians Friday night and held

on to win 1-0.

Starters Bill Conners for Tacoma and Fred Klages for the Tribe pitched 12 and 10 score less innings respectively before being relieved. Arnold Early came on to relieve Conners and got the win, while Ron Willis stayed on to be the loser for

the Indians.

The winning tally came in the top of the 16th, when Ken Kunt walked, went to second on a wild pitch by Willis, and scored on a single by Frank Thomas. Tacoma will move to play two at .Tulsa tonight while the Indians host Oklahoma City. The Tribe held a slim halfgame lead in the league's Eastern Division pending the outcome of Tulsa's double-header with Spokane Friday night.

“Houk said I’d ‘Never be a starter in the majors’ and this has been a factor in keeping me going.” Short stated after pitching the Orioles to a six-hit 2-0 decision over the Minnesota Twins in his first big league start since May 24, 1960. Short’s performance carried the American League leading Orioles to a sweep of a doubleheader after winning the opener 4-1. The Orioles stretched their lead to five games when Detroit split a twin bill with Kansas City, copping the opener 8-5 before losing the nightcap 6-4. Elsewhere in the junior circuit, the Yankees ripped Washington 8-6 and Chicago played 13 innings before shading Boston 2-1. In the National League, Pittsburgh walloped New York 120 on Woody Fryman’s one-hit-ter, Philadelphia blanked Chicago 7-0, St. Louis stopped Los Angeles 2-0, Houston edged Cincinnati 2-1 in 12 innings and San Francisco tripped Atlanta

9-5.

“The Orioles remind me of the Yanks of old,” said Short, who was recalled from Rochester Wednesday. "They can hit and have great pitching. In fact they have so many pitchers, that’s the reason I was shocked when they told me they were bringing me back.” Frank Robinson and Sam Bowens exhibited Baltimore’s power in the opener by hitting home runs. Robinson slammed his 19th homer and Bowens his fourth in supporting the hurling of Steve Barber and reliever Eddie Fisher. Barber won his ninth in 11 decisions with Fisher mopping up for 3% innings. Rocky Calavito made McDowell’s task a lot easier by driving home four runs with a two - run single in the first stanza and his 15th homer of the season with Chico Salmon aboard in the sixth. McDowell struck out a personal high this campaign—13 Angels. Jim Gosger delivered a pinchhit two-run single to cap a three-run Kansas City uprising in the fourth inning of the nightcap. Ozzie Chavarria hit a pinch hit homer in the ninth and Jim Hunter raised his record to 7-6. A1 Kaline slammed homers in both ends of the twin-bill for Detroit, with No. 14 of the season in the opener driving in two runs. Gates Brown drove in a pair of runs with a basesloaded single in the seventh and Larry Sherry pitched iy 3 innings of hitless ball to preserve Denny McLain’s 12th victory. Mickey Mantle collected a home run, two singles and a walk and scored on Joe Pepitone’s 15th homer of the campaign. In his last five games. Mantle has rapped 10 hits and received five walks in 19 at bats while driving in 10 runs. Fred Talbot (7-5) with relief help from Steve Hamilton and Pete Ramos, was the winner. Pinch runner Gary Peters scored from third base on Mike Ryan’s passed ball in the 13th inning to provide reliever Bob Locker with his fifth victory. Peters, running for John Romano, who opened the inning' with a pinch single, reached second on a sacrifice and third on an infield out.

Clark Injured In Trial Run

REMUS, France UPI — Jim Clark might be muttering today that auto racing was for the birds, if competitive driving wasn’t his bread and butter. Clark, the Scottish farmer seeking to repeat as world driving champion, began a 48hour enforced rest Thursday when his right eyeball was bruised by a bird. A decision will be made at noon Saturday on his ability to drive in Sunday’s French Grand Prix that counts toward the driving title. Clark, 1965 winner of the Indianapolis 500-mile race, had a heavy foot on the gas pedal during a trial run and his Lotus-Climax was going better than 100 miles an hour when a partridge hit the tiny windshield and smashed into his face. He managed to brake his car safely into the pits and an eye specialist was called. Clark’s right eye was covered with blood.
