Saturday, May 7, boxing briefest battle Old Timers Stop Yanks ANAHEIM say baseball is a young game, but you prove it by the California Angeles. The Angels bad to endure a lot of jobs last winter when they added oldsters Norm Siebern, Frank Malzone and Lew Burdette to the roster that already included such graybeards as Joe Adcock, Jack Sanford and Jim Piersall. But the jeers have turned to! cheers.

Five of the veterans played KJ HA I I A A major roles Friday night as the! I Angels fought back from a 3-0 wW- deficit and whipped the New York Yankees, 7-4. This ended the streak of nine straight losses to lefty Whitey Ford, 0-3. Four Runs Siebern, 33, continued a remarkable batting spree by knocking in four runs with two doubles and a single. The New York, Kansas City and Baltimore castoff has seven hits and seven runs batted in during his last eight at bats all against the Athletics and Yankees. Malzone, the 36-year-old third baseman released by Boston last winter, knocked in a run with a pinch single.

Piersall, a 36-year-old outfielder, put the Angels ahead to stay with a tie-breaking single that drove Ford from the mound in the sixth. Near 40 Burdette, turn 40 in November, pitched 2 1-3 innings of effective relief to save the victory for Sanford, a 37-year- old, who has won two of his first three decisions. Another oldster, 38-year-old Adcock, is hitting .450, but is sidelined at the moment with a sore back. The loss was th fouerth in a row and 16th in 20 gams for the Yankees. They wasted a three- run homer by Joe Pepitone in; the fourth inning and a bases-1 empty homer by Clete Boyer in the ninth.
