WILSON'S OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT 47 Sherrill Dr. Ph. 422-3111 By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer The problem plaguing pitchers and managers is trying to find some sort of yardstick for meas uring a second in an attempt to halt the mushrooming number of balk calls disrupting action in National League games. Balk calls may have been the decisive factor for the first time Thursday as Willie Mays was waved home from third base twice in San Francisco's 6-3 vic tory over Houston. In all, five balks were called in the game.

One balk was called at Milwau kee, where the Braves retained first place with their seventh straight victory, 6-5 over Philadelphia, and one was charged at St. Louis, where Pittsburgh edged the Cardinals 3-2. No balks were called as the Chicago Cubs whipped the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in the only other game sched uled. The three balks called on Hous ton pitchers in the game and the two against Giants' starter Jack Sanford, made a total of 11 for the three-game series in which Augie Donatelli's umpiring team strictly enforced the rule requiring a pitcher to pause a full sec ond before delivery. Including the two balks called in other games, 39 have been charged in less than two weeks of the season.

Donatelli's crew has called 20. The major league rec ord is 76, set in 1950. There still has not been a balk called In American League games. The Giants led 3-2 going into the fifth inning. Mays opened with a double, moved to third on a balk call and eventually scored the decisive run on another balk call, both charged to reliver Russ Kemmerer.

Mays then scored in the seventh on a balk call. George Brunet took the loss. The Braves won it with a run in the ninth contributed by the Phillies' fifth error. Hank Aaron led off with a double off loser Ray Culp and came home when catch er Clay Dalrymple fired past third in an attempt to get Aaron on Norm Larker's bunt. Bill Virdon drove in his second run with a ninth inning single, giving the Pirates and Don Schwall the victory over the Card inals.

Schwall had to leave after eight innings with stomach pains. EIRoy Face finished up. The Cubs made the most of three Dodger errors, scoring three unearned runs and beating Don Drysdale, now 2-1, for the first time since 1960. Glen Hobbie, won it with ninth inning relief help from Doa Elston. By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer The early returns are in on baseball's enlarged strike zone, and they come as no great sur prise the pitchers love it and the hitters are demanding a recount.

With the major league season less than two weeks old, the game for a change is showing some mercy for the long-oppressed men who earn their living on the mound. It's no longer a batters' paradise. In the only two games played in the American League Thursday, pitchers carved out almost identical three-hit, 3-0 shutouts. That was the margin of veteran Ray Herbert's victory for the Chicago White Sox over the Kansas City Athletics. Dick Stigman of the Minnesota Twins duplicated the feat in beating the Los Angeles Angels, also 3-0.

The National League is suffering from a different kind of pitchers' plague balks. Or is it an umpires' disease? A total of seven were called Thursday, raising the season's total in the National 4A On VnnA linn Kmn called in the AL. Five were called in the San Francisco-Houston game, won by the Giants 6-3. There was one at Milwaukee where the Braves won, 6-5 over Philadelphia and one at Little Loop Spring Drill Spring tryouts for prospective Little Leaguers will be held in Jackson Monday through Friday, April 22-26.

"It's a long season," he said, and added: "But this is a good defensive club which doesn't give any runs away. So far it has been a combination of good starting and relief pitching, a terrific de- fense and excellent clutch hitting by Hank Aaron, Ed Mathews, Frank Boiling and others." Included among the others is Norm Larker, the strong man in Thursday's seventh straight vic tory, a 6-5 decision over Philadelphia.

He socked his first home run to pull the Braves into a tie in the seventh, then bunted behind some aggressive base running by Hank Aaron to send in the deciding run in the ninth. Bragan reacted to the performance by saying that Larker would be stationed at first whenever the opposition sends a right-hander to the mound. By CHARLES MAIIER Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) Tommy Davis, the best hitter in baseball last year, is In the hospital. If there are any more beds available, maybe the rest of the Dodger hitters should join him. He can't be much sicker than they look.

Los Angeles, co-favored with San Francisco on the National League betting line in Las Vegas, has yet to play a game this season against a club that finished higher than eighth in 1962. After nine engagements with such formidable adversaries, the Dodgers have four victories and five losses. Except for offense and defense, they seem to have mastered every aspect of the game, Davis, who suffered a pulled hamstring muscle in an exhibition game March 31, was sent to the hospital Thursday night before the Dodgers dropped a 5-1 decl sion to the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers said Davis will stay in the hospital at least a week, to make certain his ailing leg gets complete rest. Tommy led the major leagues in hitting last year with a .346 average, and in runs-batted-in with 153.

After 85 1-3 innings, the Dodger pitching staff has an outstanding 1.47 earned-run average. But the club is scoring an average of only 1.90 runs every nine innings. Baseball Stars By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PITCHING Ray Herbert, White Sox, stopped Kansas City 3-0 on three hits, retiring 21 of 22 batters at one stretch. BATTING Willie Mays, Giants, collected double and two singles and scored two runs on talks in 6-3 victory over Houston. ine MfRP ess 1000 World's Most Powerful Outboard!
