Pacific northwest Sacramento will be trying to protect its 14 game lead over second place Vancouver without the services of A1 Heist brilliant defensive cen terfielder who suffered a wrenched knee Saturday night and has been placed on the disabled list Frailey Recalled With Heist on the shelf indefinitely the Solons today recalled lefthanded hitting outfielder Don Frailey from the Tri City club of the Northwest League Frailey who spent the early part of the season with the Solons was hitting 307 for Tri City Manager Bob Elliott of the Solons has been juggling his lineup during the last week in an effort to get more punch into the attack With Heist on the bench he will have to do some more juggling Dick Phillips who has been taking over for the bat slumping Nippy Jones at first will move to right field and Bob Perry will take over in center Elliott Lauds Heist Elliott is the first to praise his embattled squad is a terrific desire on the Elliott declared when it seems as if we are going to hit the skids we come through somehow or another We are short on bench strength with Heist crippled there is no telling just how much we will be hurt A1 has done nothing but make great catches for us in the outfield He does not belong in this league I have seen a lot of great centerfielders but he has to rank right near the top gives our pitchers a lot of confidence and his fielding has been out of this world I knew A1 was a great cen-terfielder but until he was hurt I did not realize how much the other players relied on him as their defensive leader Just why some major league club does not take him is a mystery to Mentioning Heist one of the best tributes which could have been paid him was last Saturday night when almost the entire club raced out to center field to see what had happened to him after he made a great catch to preserve Winston no hit game Even Brownie by his own admission would have forsaken the no hitter if he could have kept A1 healthy Indians Not

determined and eager for this fight than for any fight since I won the title by knocking out Archie said Patterson wanted the title then Johansson is the No 1 contender I hope to prove myself even if just a slight teeny Patterson then said he hopes to gain recognition of his talents from some still skeptical writers and any doubters among the public il it takes 25 or 30 more fights I nope to do it with this Pressed for a further ex planation Patterson said: spoke to a reporter and said to him I was to beat Johansson who is the No 1 contender badly and make him look like an Would you say I was a

trick too when you consider the 23 year old southpaw speedballer thinks nothing of striking out 10 times in a row or going a full season with one or two hits It is a joke son when he is but it is not so funny when Sandy is pitching and getting the ball anywhere near the plate Koufax a Brooklyn born $20000 bonus baby who once suffered a sprain of the ankle when he over the foul at Ebbets Field

Mark performance fell one strikeout shy of the National League mark set by Dizzy Dean in 1933 but he did earn a couple of lines in the record book: The 16 strikeouts snapped the major league record of 14 for a night game previously held by Johnny Vander Meer Bob Feller Bob Turley and Sam Jones The total of 16 strikeouts in one game also equaled the all time mark by a lefthander shared by Rube Waddell Nap Rucker Jack Harshman and Herb Score At the same time the total equalled the club single game strikeout record held by any Dodger pitchers in this case Rucker July 24 1909 Fanned 14 in brilliant effort may or may not herald a new pitching star for the Dodgers As far back as 1955 Koufax struck out 14 Cincinnati Reds in one game and he has struck out more than 10 batters in several games Yet he always has been an in and outer starter for the Dodgers and last victory was only his 24th as a big leaguer in a five year career Koufax struck out at least one batter in every inning up

will remain Never Explained Never was it explained exactly what the objectionable elements of policy were but they apparently were recruiting and other elements of running varsity athletics went over the problems I felt existed and I think pretty well straightened Newell asserted The Washington job had opened two weeks ago when Tippy Dye resigned to become athletic director at Wichita University Newell said George Briggs athletic director and a personal friend discussed the job with him in general terms Differences Arose Engelhard said the differences arose with the switch by California from the defunct PCC to the new Athletic Association of Western Universities which includes Cal UCLA Washington and Southern California The PCC spelled out policy while- the new big four calls for each
