I'll Handel This By LEONARD R. HANDEL (Bulletin Sports Editor) Last night at Memorial Coliseum, the Los Angeles Dodgers opened a long home stand which will see them face each National League team before the affair has run its course. Those close to the Dodger scene are going to watch this with a tremendous interest as it could accomplish a great deal for the Southland ball club. Should Walter O'Malley's charges acquire a good record during this stretch it is quite possible that they will be in the thick of the Circuit title dash. If this be the case, general opinion is that the Dodgers will start cracking all existing attendance marks, such as they did in the Roy Campanella Benefit Night with New York's Yankees last week. It has been stressed that the Dodgers last drew 1,845,556 fans while staggering to a seventh place finish. Such a feat is comparable to climbing the Matterhorn with tennis shoes, fighting for the heavyweight title at a 130-pound weigh-in or bowling 300 with a golf ball. In short, it is not a simple task. This season, although they have not been drawing friend fan with the same response as they did one year previous, the club is doing quite well, thank you, and should they continue to win, this will become an even healthier situation. For this reason the present home stand is of vital importance. One item which is drawing much fan support is the Sunday clash with Milwaukee's Braves set this week end. Ducats are moving real well and it is believed that a turnout of some 75,000 fans may jam the Coliseum seats. Last season those Dodgers just about ruined those Braves and should they be able to do it again this season, the results might be interesting. One problem last year was that while the club was able to knock off the Braves they were having trouble with the remaining six National League teams, which did not help their situation the least little bit. Dodgerville is looking forward to a highly successful campaign and many believe that the entire deal may be hinging on the present home stand. Anahiem's Wally Moon, who was directly responsible for a number of the recent victories, has summed up the team's improvement perfectly when he said that the newer men have helped the club greatly. Moon stated that the new pitchers have done a fine job to help Last season those Dodgers just about ruined those Braves and should they be able to do it again this season, the results might be interesting.

Dodgerville is looking forward to a highly successful campaign and many believe that the entire deal may be hinging on the present home stand. Anaheim’s Wally Moon, who was directly responsible for a number of the recent victories, has summed up the team’s improvement perfectly when he said that the newer men have helped the club greatly. Moon stated that the new pitchers have done a fine job to help bolster the club and although he didn’t mention it, the Dodger outfielder might have included that a certain local athlete hasn’t done badly himself. Yeastr, this present home stand is going to be a great thing for the Dodgers, should it be successful. Leave us hope it is so. ADDED NOTE One item which has attracted a great deal of valuable comment has been the new scoreboard at Memorial Coliseum. It gives all information, not only on the game being played but all scores around the League and allows a fan to keep right up to date on all matters. Especially favorable has been the reaction to the play number system which clarifies confusing plays for fandom. If you have not as yet made a trip to the Coliseum it would be a good idea to do so. The baseball action has been hot and heavy. LEGION CAMPAIGN Do not forget that the American Legion Junior Baseball program will get under way this week end with top games slated for the entire 29th District. Anaheim and West Anaheim will start their wars and it is quite possible that real large turnouts will be on hand at La Palma Stadium on both Saturday and Sunday. Those who are watching closely the present Legion race are firm in their belief that baseball is going to really boom before the present campaign has run its course. Better plan on attending as many as possible. WRESTLING CARD Remember that Anaheim’s Latter Day Saints Church will conduct another of their fine wrestling cards come Friday evening at the Colonist gymnasium. In the main event Mr. Moto will be doing “battle” with Lou Thess, the heavyweight champion of the world and this should be a real good brawl. Moto grappled in Anaheim last month for the benefit of the Latter Day Saints Church and did not exactly emerge a shining hero. There is no reason to believe that he will do it this time. A good turnout is expected with monies collected going to the construction of a church in the Anaheim area. This being a highly worthwhile type project. Vic Zalazar Will be Given Garden Fight Following Upset NEW YORK (UPI) — Victor Zalazar, young Argentine middle-weight, will get a main event at Madison Square Garden because of his impressive upset victory over Canadian champion Wilfie Graves at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. Teddy Brenner, Garden matchmaker, said today, "I want him for a Garden main event, possibly against Gene Fullmer (ex-world champion) or Ralph Tiger Jones." Lanky Zalazar, who weighed 160½ pounds to Greaves' 163, Major League Standings Garden Fight Following Upset NEW YORK (UPI) — Victor Zalazar, young Argentine middle-weight, will get a main event at Madison Square Garden because of his impressive upset victory over Canadian champion Wilfie Graves at St. Nicholas Arena Monday night. Teddy Brenner, Garden matchmaker, said today, "I want him for a Garden main event, possibly against Gene Fullmer (ex-world champion) or Ralph Tiger Jones." Lanky Zalazar, who weighed 160½ pounds to Greaves' 163, floored blond Wilfie once in the 10th round with a right and had him so helplessly groggy when he rose that the final bell probably saved him from a knockout. Referee Teddy Martin said he was ready to stop the fight just when the bell rang. Twenty-two-year-old Zalazar, an 11-5 underdog, won the unanimous decision on a rounds basis: 7-3, 8-2, 7-2-1. However, the Argentine kayo specialist will be out of action for about six weeks because of a six-stitch gash below his left brow, suffered in the fourth round. It was the South American's 16th victory in 19 bouts, and it was his first win on a decision. His 15 previous triumphs were on knockouts. Wilfie suffered his 12th defeat in 38 starts. Three Track Coaches Tab Bobby Morrow LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Three track coaches at four large Southern California schools have picked Bobby Morrow to beat Ray Norton in the 100-yard dash Friday night at the Coliseum Relays. Morrow and Norton are co-holders of the 9.3 record for the 100. At their last meeting—last Saturday in the West Coast Relays at Fresno—Norton edged Morrow by inches. Coaches supporting Morrow to beat the San Jose speedster were Jesse Mortensen of USC, Ducky Drake of UCLA and Chuck Coker of Occidental. Major League Standings National League W L Pet.

Palmer's Low Mark Takes Oklahoma Win By JIM CAMPBELL United Press International OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) — Arnold Palmer's stunning 15-under-par victory in the $25,000 Oklahoma City Open Monday demonstrated that a top-flight golfer can style winning scores on any kind of course. The Ligonier, Pa., power slugger fashioned a final round 69 and a total of 273 on the marshy limited acreage of Twin Hills Country Club, to win his 13th major tournament, including the coveted Masters.

Dodgers Outlast Phils In Coliseum Battle By ALEX KAHN United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Manager Walt Alston with a shudder thanked his lucky stars today for his relief pitchers and a pinch hitter as the Dodgers won another cliff-hanger Monday night, foregoing over a run in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Phillies 11-10. In Coliseum Battle By ALEX KAHN United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) — Manager Walt Alston with a shudder thanked his lucky stars today for his relief pitchers and a pinch hitter as the Dodgers won another cliff-hanger Monday night, forcing over a run in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Phillies 11-10. But Manager Eddie Sawyer's pesky Philadelphia club comes back again tonight with Gene Conley, a former Braves hurler, to oppose lefty Danny McDevitt (1-0). Art Fowler was the second hurler to work in relief of starter Stan Williams. Last night's contest was a loosely played affair although it kept 13,524 fans rooted to their seats for 3 hours and 38 minutes. It was an uphill battle all the way for the Dodgers, climaxed by Norm Larker's pinch bunt single with the bases loaded in the ninth to push Don Demeter home with the winning run. The glory of the win was tarnished somewhat, however, by the fact that the Phillies pushed over six runs, four unearned, in the fifth inning to take a 9-3 lead. They should have had but two runs on Ed Bouchee's homer. Errors by Charlie Neal and Don Zimmer paved the way for the four unearned runs. But the Dodgers kept pecking away, hitting three runs in their half of the fifth and three more in the sixth. The Dodgers went ahead in the bottom of the seventh, 10-9, but then Gene Freese hit his third pinch homer of the season for the Phillies. That set up the ninth inning situation in which Demeter doubled, two men walked and Norm Larker laid down his winning bunt off Ray Semproch. Frank Lane Blasts Yanks' Stengel By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Frank Lane added the crowning indignity today — he called Casey Stengel "nothing but a push-button." New York (UPI)—It is not at all surprising that under James Joseph Dykes the Detroit Tigers have come off the floor to win seven of the eight games in which he has handled the reins. The Tigers were rated as one of the class clubs of the American League even though they fumbled away 15 of their first 17 games. Day by day they became tighter than a society doll's shoes and couldn't win for losing. The brash, irrepressible Dykes was just what the doctor ordered, and vice versa. Jimmie should make a real run of it with Detroit. First because in the past he always has been a hastily summoned substitute to whom the necessity to produce is no new situation. Second, in former shots he has been with clubs lacking talent to such an extent that James J. became the greatest second hand dealer in baseball. Gets Most From Little Dykes has been a baseball fixture since World War I and, over the years, he has learned of necessity the technique of getting the most out of little. "Ball players are just like horses," he is wont to say. "They will run for some jockeys and play dead for others. Players are temperamental and little things disturb them." Thus Dykes treats each player differently, coaxing and wheeling or bossing autocratically. He lays down only two hard and fast rules: Be in bed by midnight and stay in shape to play ball. There are no frowns for an occasional schooner of suds as long as a man behaves. Jimmy long ago worked out a sound solution to curb the bright light Bennies. He has what he calls "the Dykes form letter." It says: "Dear Mrs. Smith: Your husband..."

By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Frank Lane added the crowning indignity today — he called Casey Stengel "nothing but a push-button manager." "Maybe the phrase isn't original with me, but it certainly applies to Stengel nevertheless," said the outspoken Cleveland general manager. "The man is a fairly capable manager," Lane went on. "I said fairly capable, nothing more. He has a most astute general manager in George Weiss. Weiss supplies him with the players and all Stengel has to do is simply push the buttons." Tribe Faces Yanks Lane made it plain he wasn't exactly bleeding over the fact the Yankees are in sixth place at the moment. "I'm sorry they're not further down," he said. "What are they looking for, sympathy? They sure won't get any from me." Nor is it likely the first-place Indians, who begin a two-game series with them tonight, ever will get any players from the Yankees — as long as Lane is in Cleveland. "The Yankees can keep their players." said the Tribe general manager. "I don't have to trade with them. Lord knows I've tried during the past 10 years. If they do trade, you can bet it'll be with a second division club. They never trade with a first division team." Lane honestly feels the Indians have a good chance to wind up with the entire package of pretzels this year. "Don't get me wrong," he said, "The Yankees have a solid club—even though they're in sixth place—but they're not invincible and they're not as awe inspiring as they were in other years." Thus Dykes treats each player differently, coaxing and whedding or bossing autocratically. He lays down only two hard and fast rules: Be in bed by midnight and stay in shape to play ball. There are no frowns for an occasional schooner of suds as long as a man behaves. Jimmy long ago worked out a sound solution to curb the bright light Bennies. He has what he calls "the Dykes form letter." It says: "Dear Mrs. Smith: Your husband has taken to staying out nights past the curfew. I would appreciate it very much if you would find out where he goes and why, and pass this information on to me." Sincerely yours, James J. Dykes. Provides Perfect Antidote The letter then is shown to "Mr. Smith," the wayward ball player, and the night forays come to a speedy halt when Dykes advises him that the missive will be sent to his bitter half. "You could break up my home" raged one such player. "Seems fair," Jimmie retorted. "You're breaking up the team." Dykes, brassy, cocky and eternally loquacious, was the perfect antidote for the Tigers troubles. The game to him is fun and he makes it so for his players. Like the time when he was with the A's and Rube Walberg invented a box for magicians with which they could make a person disappear. "Bring it out to the ball park," roared Jimmy. "We'll use it on the umpires." He'll gas 'em up, as proved by those seven wins in eight starts. And it's nice to see him get a shot with some real talent at long last. ARCARO WINS THREE NEW YORK (UPI)—Eddie Arcaro, the nation's top stakes rider, didn't win the featured Toboggan Handicap at Belmont Park's opening Monday, but he managed to grab three other victories along with one second and two thirds. His victories came on Resaca ($3.80), Dunce ($4.30) and Our William ($7.00).
