WORLD SPORTS
OF j
Baseball is in full swing, and the j
Chicago Cubs gained two "first*1 in one
game with the San Francisco Giants. They!
pulled the first triple play of the 1958 I
season and the first by a major league I
team on the west coast; the Cubs won, by j
the score of 5-4.
Speaking of the Cubs, Don Hoak tied j
an al-tine major league' record playing j
against the same Giants (then New York) I
; in 1956 by striking out six times- in one j
game. One year to the day later, Hoak, ;
with Cincinnati, blasted four-for-five, j
j and batted in fiTe runs against th« j
; Giants* j
New York, (UP) Little Albin Pearson I
of Washington says his knees are "still ’j
knocking", only you can’t hear ’em over :
the terrific clamor he’s making with hisj
bat. \
"1 still reel a little nervous . ana }
out of place”. Grinned the likeable 5-ft !
5-in., 138 lb Senator rookie despite his!
.328 batting average which is the second |
best on the Washington Club.
”Ted Williams was very nice to me ini
Boston”, Pearson recalled ”he talked to j
me quit a bit about hitting end trriUd to j
i show me the ’little man’s’ version of !
what he meant. But Blow can you tell a j *
boy to do a man’s job”? [
Chicago (UP) Early Wynn, one of Base-j
ball’s ’’old pro's”, had no motive of re- I
venge when he pitched the Chicago White j
Sox to a two-hit 5-0 triumph over his j
old teammates, the Cleveland Indians, to j
give the Sox their first shutout of the j
season. j
”1 don’t care who I beat just so I i
win”, he said. ”It doesn't make any dif-j
ference to me whether it's Kansas City, i
Detroit, Cleveland or anybody else. Just I
so I win”. j
Wynn said he threw the Indians, ’’just j
about everything” for his second victory \
