Giants Now Have Pitching
Pills a Venerable Problem
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sport* Editor
Ftfday, May 8, 1959. THE DAILY NEWS-TELEGlUM

Pittsburgh—‘(NEA) — Last
season, when the San Francisco
Giants were the most spectacu-
lar c 1 u b in baseball hopping
from sixth place to third and
remaining1 in contention until
early August, Bill Rigney had
a strong bench and little pitch-
ing.
“Right now,” said the 24-
hour-a-day manager, barging
into Pittsburg’s Forbes Field on
his club’s first eastern swing,
“I’m not sure which is best."
At the moment, Rigney
misses ballplayers everybody
considered expendable, notably
Ray Jablonski and Whitey
Lockman.
As pitchers in 1958, the Gi-
ants started with Johnny An-
tonelli, A1 Worthington, young
Mike McCormick and Ruben
Gomez, had little more beyond
Ramon Monzant and softball-
ing Stu Miller.
Antonelli reported after an
attack of virus pneumonia
which left him weak. The Gi-
ants collapsed with the pitch-
ing staff.
93.103 Fans
Attend Benefit
For Campy
Los Angeles, May 8 Iff! —
Campy’s night at the Los An-
geles Coliseum turned out to
be a tremendous, record-break-
ing event. The night had u
little bit of everything—even
a near-riot. That occurred out-
side the coliseum when 25,000
fans turned up to buy tickets
at the gate, only 10,000 were
available. Four people fainted
in the crush and had to be car-
ried away in ambulances. Fifty
extra policemen were summon-
ed for help.
The capacity crowd totaled
93.103 paid, a new record for
major league baseball.
During the off-season, Hor-
ace Stoneham completed two
deals the like of which have
kept this baseball owner in
business through the years.
They brought Jack Sanford
from the Phillies and Sam
Jones from the Cardinals, giv-
ing the Giants pitching second
to none.
But the Giants remain stuck
with the ailment which has
stymied them since their last
pennant-winning year, when
Davey Williams’ back started
kicking up beyond repair. Wil-
liams, you see, was like Red
Schoendinst. He made a run-
’o-mine shortstop who could
hit, a fellow like Alvin Dark,
look good in the field.
The Giants’ big mistake came
when Daryl Spencer came out
of Triple A labeled the minor
leaguer most likely to succeed.
Instead of ordering Dark to
play third base, where he be-
longed, Leo Durocher, then
manager, gave in to his best
all-round player and played
Spencer all over the lot. Spen-
cer wound up a puzzled young
man.
Meanwhile Willie Kirkland
and Leon Wagner, terrific
young left-hand hitters, are
confined to the dugout by the
outfield play of Jackie Brandt,
Willie Mays and Felipe Alou.
And even by this time it is be-
coming plain, that Kirkland and
Wagner can’t hit a lick unless
used at least intermittently.
The bright idea would be to
swap Kirkland and maybe Wag-
ner, too, for a second baseman,
but that also occurred to
Stoneham during the winter
when he fished for Johnny
Temple of the Reds and the
Cardinals’ Don Blasingame.
That would have given the Gi-
ants a lead-off‘man, too. •
Such a swap also would have
put Daryl Spencer back at
shortstop.
Had he anyone else for sec-
ond base, it is exceedingly
SUNNY—John Callison is only 20 and a rookie on the Chi-
cago White Sox. But he can afford to laugh because he
apparently has an outfieid berth sewed up. (NEA).
Ted Williams
Believes Trade
Helps Bosox
Boston, May 8 Lfi—Ted Wil-
liams took time out from his
training drills at Fenway Park
in Boston today to comment
on the recent trade the Red
Sox made with the Tigers.
The Bosox traded infielder
Ted Lepcio and pitcher Dave
Sisler for southpaw Billy
Hoeft.
Williams likes the Red Sox
end of the deal. He says
Hoeft is a proven big leaguer.
However, he cautions that
Billy will probably do better
on the road than at Fenway,
where southpaws often have
trouble. Fenway has a con-
venient left field fence.
WINNING BLOW, TOO
Musial Blasts 400th
Home Run of Career
By Associated Press

er milestone in his baseball

The game between the New i Stoneham would have objected ! gt Louis Cardinal star hit his
York Yankees and Los Angeles
dodgers was won by the Yanks,
G to 2.
But the game was only an
»nti- climax after farther Dod-
ger catcher Roy Cainpanella
■was honored before the game.
The contest was for the bene-
fit of Campy, who is partly par-
alyzed as a result of an auto
accident. He was wheeled onto
the field by another former
Dodger star, Pee Wee Reese.
Campy —• who’.s expected to
realize about $60,000 from the
gate—told the hushed crowd:
"Thank you, ladies and gen-
tlemen. I want to thank each
and every one of you from the
bottom of my heart. This is
something I’ll never forget. I
thank God that I am here liv-
ing to see it. Thanks a miliiom’’

Casey Stengel
Annoyed With
Frank Lane
Los Angeles, May 8 Iff! —
Casey Stengel is annoyed with
Frank Lane. The manager of
the Yankees is real miffed ov-
er the more recent comments
by the general manager of0 the
Cleveland Indians, who was
quoted as saying the Yankees
didn’t win last fall’s World
Series, the Milwaukee Braves
lost it.
Stengel had this to say about
Lane: “Why doesn’t he talk
about his own manager, Joe
Gordon, instead of about him-
self? Just how good was Lane
last year when he had a dif-
ferent manager in Cleveland?”
So a cool a
customer!
Schoendienst
Bids to Return
During Season
Milwaukee, May 8 (J4 —The
Milwaukee Braves have good
news about Red Schoendienst.
Braves’ general manager John
McHale says that the 2nd base-
man, who is recovering from
tuberculosis, expects to start
throwing a baseball in another
month.
McHale said both Red and
his doctor are very much en-
couraged by Schoendienst’s
rate of progress.
McHale declared that
Schoendienst told him he is do-
ing a great deal of walking,
feels great, and plans to start
a little throwing next month.
The Braves’ general manag-
er went on to say that Schoen-
dienst still believes he will be
able to rejoin the Braves this
year. However, his doctor con-
tinued his guarded opinion on
the matter.
Said McHale:
‘‘We haven’t planned on his
return this year, but it would
be frosting on the cake if the
redhead does get back.”

pany of Babe Ruth, Jimmy

Wink Cracks
Relay Record
Austin, May 8 — Wink
cracked a 9-year-old confer-
ence “B” record in the mile
relay at Austin today and be-
comes the top heavy favorite to
win the title at the state school-
boy track and field meet.
The Wink quartet breezed
home 15 yards in front of the
field in the first heat in 3 min-
utes 29.2 seconds. The old rec-
ord of 3 minutes 33 seconds was
set by Rising Star in 1950.
Fort Worth Masonic Home
took the second heat in 3 min-
utes 32.4 seconds—also break-
ing the Rising Star record.

What's the secret oT Jerry
Walker’s spell over the Wash-

pitched three complete games
in as many seasons since he
signed with the Baltimore
Orioles in 1957. Each was
against Washington and each
was a victory.
Asked what he throws to
the Washington hitters, Jerry
said: “I don’t throw them any-
thing special. I just try to
mix them up.”
He did last night . to the
tune of a 10 to 1 decision.
