AP Wirephoto BY LOU SMITH Enquirer Sports Editor The Pirates had speed, pitching and power, and a total disrespect for the Reds in their 1964 debut at Crosley Field Monday night. That was a combination Fred Hutchinson's lads couldn't come close to overcoming in a 4-2 loss to lefty Joe Gibbon before a crowd of 3358. The loss in the first of a two-game series Jumped the Reds back to the .500 mark on the season. The win was the third straight for the Pirates, currently the hottest hitting club in the National League. While Gibbon was limiting the Reds to six safeties, half of them coming in the fifth inning when they scored their two runs, the Bucs loaded into Joty Jay for 13 in plastering the big right-hander with his second defeat in three decisions.

Gibbon's victory was his first. Included in the assortment of Pirate hits were solo homers by Willie Stargell and Bill Mazeroski. The Buc attack, however, was led by former Red star Gene Freese, who chipped in with three singles, two of them "bleeders." The Pirates threatened in all but three innings in dropping the Reds into the second division, four games behind the leading San Francisco Giants. Mazeroski, hitting at a .200 clip, opened the night's scoring in the third inning off Jay with his second homer of the campaign, a drive off the left-field screen. The Bucs struck for another run in the fourth to make it 2-0.

Stargell, one of the loop's leading hitters, opened with the first of his two extra-base hits, a double down the leftfield line, moved to third on a sacrifice, and with the Cincinnati infield Reds' Box Score PITTSBURGH Al Ml I Alley, it 1 0 Virdon cf 3 I 0 0 Clementt, rf I 0 0 Standi, If 4 1 2 1 Clendenon. lb 3 0 1 1 0 Frceu, 3b 4 3 1 0 Mnroski, 2b 4 1 1 1 0 Paglitroni, 4 0 1 0 Gibbon, 4 0 1 0 0 Totals 38 4 13 4 0 CINCINNATI AB RBI Run, 3b 1 1 I 0 Klaui, 2b 3 1 0 0 Pinson, cf 4 0 1 1 1 Johnson, lb 4 0 1 0 0 Robinson, rf 4 0 0 0 Harper, If 2 0 0 0 Cardenas, is 3 0 1 0 0 Smith, 3 1 1 0 0 Jay. 2 0 0 0 0 tost 1 0 0 0 Totals 31 2 2 I (Struct out for Jay In th.

T-2 20. A-3355. As predicted, the Royals named University of Cincinnati's 6-foot 8-inch, 210-pound George Wilson as a first round territorial choice, but what happened thereafter exceeded McMa-hon's fondest hopes. Club after club passed up 6 feet, 10 inch 245-pound Bill Chimielewski, a player of high promise before leaving the University of Dayton two seasons ago. When it came time for Cincinnati's second round selection, Chimielewski was still unclaimed.

McMahon could hardly wait to get his hands on the microphone to name him as second-round choice. In' the third round the Royals went for Steve Courtin, a 6-2, 190-pound guard who averaged 20.7 points for St. Joseph's College of Pennsylvania this past winter. This was another player McMahon felt would not be available to Cincinnati then selected New York University's 6-7, 225-pound Harry (Happy) Harrison; Memphis State's 6-2, 195-pound George Kirk: Wittenberg's 6-2, 200-pound Al Thrasher; Loyola of Chicago's 6-6, 215-pound Vic Rouse; Xavier's 6-7, 198-pound Joe Geiger; West Texas State's 6-7, 220-pound Scottie Pierce and Memphis State's 6-5, 195-pound Bob Neumann, a former Cincinnati prep star. After the draft had been officially suspended following the 10th round, the Royals threw two more names into the hopper those of Abilene Christian's, 6-5 Jim Reynolds and Youngstown College's 6-2 Fred Jones.

"I never expected to get Chimielewski in the second round," said McMahon. "I definitely thought he would go earlier. "I'm really pleased. I think I got what I was after the forward big man and guard. I hope all are of NBA caliber.

In my thinking: right now they are." Selection of Wilson as a territorial was a "natural" after his performance in the Olympic trials an selection to the U. S. Olympic team. Wilson's UC teammate, Ron Bonham, was selected by the Boston Celtics, the Royals arch rivals, in the second round. "We might have to heat up Crosley Field when those two teams play," cracked Ambrose Lind-horst, Royals' board chairman who headed the Cincinnati delegation at the meeting.

Also present were executive vice president Tom Grace, general manager Pepper Wilson and board member Warren Hensel. McMahon and Wilson made all selections. Chimielewski is definitely a gamble, but McMahon and Pep Wilson have been red-eyed in recent weeks from watching movies of his games in Dayton. What they saw convinced them he has outstanding potential and the kind of size and weight to give the Royals more strength in the front line. He has been out of bas- Lou Smith's Notes Lou Smith in on the edge of the grass, scored when Freese scratched a hit off Klaus' glove.

Meanwhile, the Reds muffed scoring opportunities in each of the first three rounds. This was especially true in the second when Smith bounced into a double play after Harper and Cardenas walked. Klaus' two-out double also went down the drain in the third. But after wasting a lead-off double by Johnson in the fourth, the Reds broke through Gibbon's guard for Hi 5 1 Giants' Rim After Outs In 12th Tips Cincinnati Enquirer Page 35 Tuesday," May 5, 1964 ketball a year but is currently at normal weight (245). There may be some legal problems over a 1963-64 contract he signed with Trenton in the American Basketball League (he didn't play out the year), but Lindhorst said, "We think we can defense his position successfully." Chimielewski claimed Trenton didn't live up to the contract.

McMahon also feels he has a worthwhile plave1 in Courtin, who was highly recommended to Cincinnati by Richie Regan, a former Royal now co aching at Seton Hall and Xavier coach Don Ruberg. What gave McMahon further encouragement on Courtin was a report from St. Louis General manager Marty Blake a great shooter from 25 to 30 feet as good as Adrian and a bid for him immediately after the meeting from the Philadelphia 76ers. McMahon had a few dis- -appointments. He might have taken Drakes' McCoy McLemore in the third round rather than Courtin, but didn't have to make the choice.

San Francisco picked McLemore ahead of him. Cincinnati was Just (See Draft Choices, Page 36) two selecteds away from getting Kansas State's Wil- lie Murrell in the fourth I round.

They included Kentucky's Cotton Nash, who went to Los Angeles in the second round; Evansville's Jerry Sloan in a third-round selection by Baltimore, Dayton's Henry Fin-kel who was drafted by Los Angeles; Dayton's Gordie Hahon, a seventh round pick by Philadelphia, and Xavier's Bob Pelkington who was the 76'ers eighth-round selection. revealed one of the humorous incidents which sometime takes place when the language barrier is involved.

"Cardenas will be talking to me in English when all of a sudden he'll forget and change to Spanish in the middle of a sentence. It's a bit confusing." THE PIRATES went into Monday night's game leading the league in hitting. Last season they finished fifth with a mark of .250. DANNY MURTAUGII is happy with Gene Freese's play. "He's been doing a fine Job for us, both in the field and at the plate." Japanese Lifts Record Total 837 Pounds TOKYO i.Pt Yoshinobu Miyake bettered his own world record for weight lifting in the featherweight division of the Central Japan championships Monday with a total lift of 837Vi pounds.

Miyake lifted 253V pounds in the press, 264a in the snatch and 253Vi in the jerk In beating his record 832V4 pounds set last October. a pair of runs in the fifth to make it 2-2. The bottom of the batting order got things started. Smith, first-ball hitting, drilled a double over short, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on Ruiz' single. The rookie third baseman reached third on an infield out and Pinson scored him moments later with a single over short.

But Stargell quickly recaptured the lead for the Bucs in the sixth with his fifth homer, a prodigious drive deep into the right-field bleachers. series of fights breaking out on the field when teh Met's Ron Hunt barrelled into Braves' catcher Ed Bailey on the final play. Hunt singled with one out in the ninth for only the who then walked Joe Chris-, topher, putting runners on first and second with one out. Frank Thomas hit to third baseman Eddie Mathews, who threw to second for a force out as Hunt headed for home Hunt charged into Bailey, who was knocked to the ground, but who held the ball. Bailey jumped to his feet and seemed ready to tangle with Hunt, but umpire Bill Williams grabbed the catcher.

It was the third victory for the Americans in eight games of their tour. They beat the Leningrad and Kzakhstan teams, but lost all three games to the Russian national team during the series. The United States led, 45-33. at halftime after a rather slow start.

The shooting of Jim Barnes of Texas Western College and Lloyd Sharer of the Akron Goodyears put the Americans in front at 17-10 after seven minutes and they stayed ahead with an all-out effort. The defensive play of six-foot six-inch Anzor Lehava forced the Americans to rely on long shots, but the accuracy of the U. S. shooters made this pine effective. The Bucs made it 4-2 in the eighth.

Roster Trimming Time Is Near CUTDOWN TIME IN THE MAJORS, always a vexing problem for managers and general managers, arrives on May 14. It's always a tough decision which players to keep and which players to send out.

It's particularly tough now because it involves the bonus situation. The men who make the decisions are confronted with a real dilemma do you trim to 23 players and protect your expensive bonus athletes or do you cut loose the bonus-rich youngsters and keep a player or players who can help you now? In case you've forgotten the situation, this is it in capsule form: In an effort to keep themselves from squandering such money, the majors' bonus committee two years ago set up tight regulations. One such bonus player can be optioned out without asking waivers. But his place must be kept open on your major league roster. And others you have must be retained on the major league list.

If you want to send out a second player first-year player, you run a great risk. You have to ask irrevocable waivers on him. If everybody waives you can send him out. If anybody claims him, you must deliver him to the lowest team in the standings putting in a bid for him, for Just $8000. In other words, you stand to lose for $8000 a player you may have spent $50,000 or more for within the last year.

What do you do? Well, all ball clubs agreed two years ago that this bonus restriction was excellent and they were prepared to live with it. That's no longer true. A number of clubs, especially the world champion Dodgers, who stand to lose several plus 50-grand players, want the rule repealed. And don't be surprised if it is before the start of the 1965 campaign, as owners like Walter O'Malley of the Dodgers and Bob-Topping of the Yankees usually get what they want. THE REDS' situation at this time is typical of most major league clubs.

Lincoln Curtis, a bonus outfielder is playing with one of their minor league clubs, but his place on the roster is left open. Billy McCool, the pride of Lawrenceburg, is in the same category. Including these two, there are only 23 Jobs open on the Cincinnati roster. Breaking it down, it would include two catchers, 10 other pitchers, six infielders and five outfielders. To reach the mid-May limit, the Reds have to drop two players.

It could include one pitcher and one outfielder, or two pitchers. Names such as Chet Nichols, rookie righthander Jim Dickson, outfielder Marty Keough and infielder Bobby Klaus come to mind as possibilities, Two of the four will have to go unless the Reds decide to dispose of one of their two first-year players through the waivers. It's going to be interesting to see what the clubs with high-priced bonus players will do. The Dodgers have several that reportedly cost them in the neighborhood of $100 grand each. Will they elect to go with 22 or 23 proven pros in order to hold onto the bonus beauties? Or will they write off the youngsters at a loss of many thousands of dollars? Frankly, we don't envy the general managers who have a decision like that to make within the next 10 days.

ADDING TO THE Los Angeles Dodgers' problems this season in trying to repeat as National League champions is the apparent decision of the ball club to keep three bonus players on the major league roster while optioning out a fourth as a "designated" player. This latter player's spot must be kept open on the varsity if the other three are retained so that the Dodgers won't lose title to them. The Dodgers will be operating with Just 21 experienced major leaguers when cutdown time arrives. Pitcher Paul Speckenbach, catcher Jeff Torborg and lnfielder-outfielder Wes Parker are the first-year men the Dodgers plan to retain on their roster. Outfielder Bill Parller is the designated player in the minors.

Nux Goes Against Pittsburgh's Laiv SAN FRANCISCO UP) Chuck Killer's two-out double delivered Jesus Alou with the winning run Monday as the San Francisco Giants battled 12 innings to edge the Houston Colts, 3-2. Alou beat out a slow roller in front of the plate and then Hiller tagged reliever Hal Woodeshick for a long double. It was the Giants' eighth victory in the last 10 games and gave them first place in the National League. The run came after Colt starter Ken Johnson and Woodeshick had held the Giants scoreless for 10 innings following Willie May'3 first inning homer with a runner on base. It was Mays' 10th homer in 15 games this year.

He had three hits, raising his average to .468. Mays' homer put San Francisco ahead, 2-1, but Walt Bond's third homer of the year tied it for the Colts in the sixth. From then on it was a battle of pitchers, with Johnson and Woodeshick holding off the Giants while manager Alvln Dark paraded five hurlers to the mound for San Francisco. Johnson worked 10 Innings.
