Thursday, April 17, 1958 San Mated tfinSs SS LOS ANGELES OPENER Times Sports Editor Jack Bluth Worthington vs. Erskine 13 1 Better Than 2 1, Says Rigney Speaking Archie Milton of Redwood City was named the year's outstanding boxer at San Jose State the other night, and the selection got the wholehearted endorsement of Coach Julie Menendez, of course. Milton is the sophomore from Sequoia High school bleachers to open the scoring in the second. Duke Snider caught another "fat" Monzant pitch, a change up, and lifted it completely over the right field stands' in the next frame. The 400 foot blast scored Pee Wee Reese, on second with "He was too fat." Rigncy replied lo a query an the Giant starters' ineffectiveness.

"He has been faster, loo, but his big trouble was that he was too true." And we didn't get much help from the other pitchers." Third baseman Dick Gray, the Every Dodger starter, except Gino CimoU, joined in the feast en Giant pitching. Cimoli, the cx Menlo college baseballer, was felled by a Paul Giel fastball in the seventh and left the game. He was cleared For action in today's game. Except for the rough treatment accorded his pitching staff. Manager Billy Rigncy wasn't depressed over the loss.

"If you're going lo get beat, that's the way to Jo it," the San Francisco skipper said in the dressing room after the game. "I'd rather get whipped 131 than 21." Rigncy hopes to avert a defeat any kind as he prepares to send right hander Al Worthington against the Dodgers' in tomorrow's opener at Los Angeles. The Uvo clubs are expected to open the National league season in the southland before 90,000 fans 1 tomorrow afternoon.

That was Hal Espy, a senior from Idaho State who won it in 1957 and the year before was runer up NCAA champion and Olympic trials finalist. The first time Milton was pitted against Espy this year, he looked across the Ting, sized up his opponent and turned to Menendez. "Coach, I'm going to whip this guy," he told Julie. Everybody but Archie and Times boxing writer Jack Russell was surprised when he did, and to prove it was no fluke, Archie whipped Espy on two other occasions, the last time for the coveted crown. Even before he convinced Espy, Milton had attracted tne parasites to ringside.

Manager Billy Rigney refused to blame the lights or the cold on the Giants' 13 1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 54 degree weather at Seals stadium last night. "They've played in colder weather than this." Rigney declared. "The temperatures get down to the thirties in Milwaukee ft Duke Snider, left, and Dick Gray are all smiles in the Los Angeles Dodgers' dressing room last night after their big bats paved the way to an easy 13 1 win over the San Francisco And it wasn't the lights that were giving outfielders a rough time last night, said the Giants' pilot. "They were having trouble with the wind ont there. The lights are all right, particularly in the infield."

By JOHN KANE Times Sporis Writer San Francisco has its first taslc of second division baseball today, and the prospects are for more of the same if they don't come up with improved pitching.

Southpaw Johnny Podres famed the Giants on live hits for the Dodgers' 13 1 victory and struck out 11 batters (or a Podres' all time one game record. In 1953 Podrcs struck out 10 Chicago Cubs. The contrast in the Dodger dressing room after last night's game was marked (rom the previous day. There was banter and much back slapping, most of the latter on back.

Manager Bill Rigney was hardly discouraged for the Giants. He stated his case simply: "I don't think Podres ever pitched better against us." The walloping hardly pleased the Giants and Rigney made it plain today as another hall game. Adding to a long line ol Dodger Giant beefs, the Giants claimed Dodger first baseman Gil Hodges' foot was off the base on a throw out of Orlando Cepeda. Rigney and coach Salty Parker rushed in to protest. They lost.

"Naw," said Hodges laler, "my foot was on the bag The matter of Willie Mays came tip. Willie has yet to he the hero. Walter Alston, the Dodger boss, smiled. "We don't talk about Willie. We couldn't get him out las! year." Center fielder Giiin Cimoli.

"My back stiffened, not so much from the cold but from the wind, when I was on base in our half of the inning," he explained.

Only curve balling Stu Miller. who finished up. escaped the heavy pounding of Los Angeles pats. Relief, pitching was ed to be a San Francisco weak ness, and it was last night. Like Ruben Gomez in Tuesday's opener, Podres mixed up his pitches well, changing up when the Giants were looking for the 'fast ope and pouring it through when breaking stuff was expected, "I've never seen Podres sharper," Rigney declared.

"He was real quick, and he changed speeds well on us." Podres insisted he wasn't bothered by the cold weather. He lost a lot of his sharpness after the fifth inning. Nine of his 11 strike outs were recorded in the first five frames. "My back stiffened, not so much from the cold bnt from the wind, when I was on base," Podres explained. In contrast from the brilliant opening, San Francisco's rookie trio contributed to the club's overall sloppy play last night.

"He'll make mistakes," Rigney said in defense of Orlando Cepeda, the 20 year old first baseman who committed two errors, struck oat twice and hit into a double play. "It's something you have lo expect from the youngsters." Jim Davenport was a strike out victim his first two trips. Willie Kirkland worked Podrcs for a pair of walks and slapped a single to left in his only appearances. While the Dodgers were playing near flawless hall, San Francisco could do no right. Even their run was tainted by a blap stiek performance by Mays.

Willie went all out for two bases on his run scoring slicer to right, but the base was already occupied by Danny O'Ckinnell. "Willie had no business going to second," Rigney noted. "But he could see the ball was a double all the way while O'Con nell had to see if it would be caught or not." entnrlrv Dorhv 1 ftA nHarWav I LOUISVILLE, Ky.
