Lots Of Surprises Seen In Maiorleague So For
By JOE REICHLER
NEW YORK (AP)-Ten days of major league surprises and disappointments.
Probably the biggest surprise has been the splendid showing of three San Francisco rookies Or- lando Cepeda, Jim Davenport and Willie Kirkland. The early season hitting and fielding of this trio has improved the Giants by some 50 per cent. '
The biggest disappointment could be the inefficiency of the Chicago White Sox pitching staff,
generally conceded to be the best in the majors. SURPRISES
Among the happy surprises are Harvey Kuenn's switch from shortstop to centre field for De- troit; Herb Score’s resurgence from his eye injury of a year ago; Bob Cerv’s hitting for Kan- sas City and the development of the Athletics’ Ralph Terry and Jack Urb an into dlependaible pitchers; Ted Kluszewski’s abil- ity to play every day for Pitts- burgh without any, back pains;
Bob Purkey’s rise to No. 1 status on Cincinnati's refurbished pitch- ing staff; Robin Roberts return to topflight pitching and rookie Dick Gray's work at third base for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Among the disappointments are the futile attempt by St. Louis to switch Alvin Dark to third and Eddie Kasko to shortstop; the home runs »hit over _the Los Angeles Coliseum 250-foot left field wall, certain to add gray hairs to the heads of Dodger southpaws Johnny Podres, Danny M«cDevitt and Sandy Koufax; the Boston Red Sox’ poor start and their continued failure to get a dependable lef-thanded pitcher; Bob Lemon’s inability to recover from an arm operation; and

Philadelphia’s lack of power. RACE A FLOP
The lack of opposition to the New York Yankees in the Amer- ican League may turn out to be -the biggest disappointment of all. Early filops by the White Sox and Red Sox auger ill for the league.
On the other hand, the Na- tional League race shapes up as a "close struggle. ‘The Milwaukee Braves, handicapped by injuries to outfielders Bill Bruton and Wes Covington, have started slowly. Even with the early rough going for the Cardinals, the pennant race has all the ap- pearances of another tight stru - gle because of improvement in the Redlegs, Cubs and Giants.
There's one normal note—Stan Musial and Ted Williams, last year's batting champions, are still at it. Stan is hitting .467, with four home runs and nine runs batted in. Ted, after miss-

The opening of the baseball season in Los Angeles may be remembered chiefly not for the 78,672 fans that were on hand but for a boner by San Francisco rookie Jim Davenport which prevented the visiting Giants from tying the score in the ninth. '
With the Giants trailing 6-4, Davenport led off the ninth with a double off_the screen in the Coliseum’s short left field. Anoth_er rookie, Willie Kirkland, pounded a drive to deep center and Gino Cimoli got his glove on the ball before dropping it as he hit the fence. '
Davenport, watching the play over his shoulder as he rounded third, missed the bag; He turned back to third but Kirkland was already coming on for a triple, so he continued on toward home and crossed the plate. Third baseman Dick Gray of Los ‘Angeles, who_ saw Davenport miss the bag, called for the ball to ‘inake the putout.l Kirkland scored a little later when Willie Mays was safe on Pee Wee i Reese's wild throw. . \
Poor Davenport. He will long remember that o
pening day in Los Angeles. ‘
Allan Cup Series Now Tied I -I
KELOWNA, B.C. (CP)-Jaunty Ike Hildebrand didn’t expect his Belleville McFarlrands to win the All-an Cup in four games.
His winnings were held at one game Wednesday night when Ke- lowna Packers pounced the‘ Mc- Farland’s 6-0 to tie the best-of- seven series 1-1.
Mike Durban, shot with nove- caine and taped around the hips, was easily the best roan on the ice. Gangling Durban smashed a hip muscle in the first game Mon- day when McFar1>ands won 6-1.
