SPORTS FRONT
By PIUS CALLAGHAN
If ever a ball park got more than its share of publicity. it's Los Angelcs C0l!Seum,
P ll‘Sl. it was the screaming about the left field fence—screaming that became loud enough to get the commnssioner of baseball himself in on the act. -
‘Now it's the View from -faraway seats that has the sports S('.l‘ll1(".‘S pounding out column after column. Bob Myers of the {\SSO(‘lal(“fl Press came up withva really classical job. We thought It sonictliing that readers would like to glimpse at.
Here it goes‘: »
“l\‘i:ht_ baseball viewed frmn the most distant regions of the controversial Coliseum is something to see, to use a word loosely.
“A one man expedition explored the upper spaces for the recent Dodgers-Pittsburgli game, penetrating to a point high and far behind outer Outer Mongolia. or right field. and another due east of the famed greatwall of China. or the left field screen.
The altitude in each location is 79 rows and 103 feet, and a guy is apt to get nose bleed that high.
"From the 90 cent seats in right field. the Dodgers’ Gil Hodges, a fair sized man. might be Tom Thumb.
"After all. standing at the plate. Hodges is somewhere be- twemi 800 and 900 feet away. or roughly, two and a"half blocks.
“In the third inning pitcher Don Drysdale hit. What or where he hit remains a mystery. But he was‘out because he could be seen trotting back tothe dugout:
“The ball in flight does crazy things. In the seventh Charlie Neal connected. First impression was a home run over the left field screen. The Pirates’ Roberto Clemente caught the ball.
“Baseball of this sort is more a matter of" sound and sight. You see :i player streaking for first base. Then you hear the solnirl he made smacking the ball. '
“'l‘hcn _vou watch the umpire. He makes no visual decision. He doesn't have to. The guy has popped put to short.
“Spoi'tsmaii Paul Helms, seriously, has recommended an oi-angzc ball for daytime play to distinguish it from the background of white shirts.
' “He'i-e's another idea. How about a neon lighted ball for night?
“For the Himalayan slopes of the Coliseiim, wear your logies and bring a telescope. Also a radio."
Not bad at all, Mr. Myers.

, In the first four games of their five game set with Cin- cinnati Re-dlegs. the impuclent Chicago Cubs managed to take three from the liard-hitting Tebbetts men.
The Cubs used the perfect combination of good hitting and fine pitching to earn: their decision over the Redlegs. Sunday they split a twin bill winning 5-4 and losing 3-2. On Tuesday they banked Cincinnati 4-0 behind rookie Hobbie. Then on Wednesday they got another fine pitching performance from Taylor Phillips who five—hit the Reds as _the Cubs romped home 5-1 winners.
Such a display with a power-laden club as the Redlegs is something about which to crow and remember that fine young hnrler Moe Drabowsky had no part in those -four games. ‘
Prominent in the three Cub wins were three former Milwaukee Braves, namely Bobby Thomson, Taylor Phillips and Sammy‘ Taylor.

HAS THE NICEST GIFTS FOR MOTHER
Remember Mother's Day. Sunday. May 11th.
All three are doing their best to make the world champions. regret that they ever traded them away. 1 Another interesting note about the Cubs is the fact that they: have clouled 30 home runs in their first twenty games. Twelve of those came in the five game set with Milwaukee. The Cubs won that series three games to two, winning games two, three and four and dropping the opener and final clash. ' Another point: Chicago has been‘ involved‘ in eight one-run ball games (games decided by a single tally) and they came out on the long end on six occasions. It’s great to win -those close ones. I it t 3 t 0 Here's a young man who certainly hasn't been getting too many breaks. , Connie Grob, Cross Plains (Wis.) pitcher working for Spokanel of the Pacific Coast League surely needs a taste of better luck.» After working 12 fruitless innings in the season's opener and. gettiflg nothing better than a 1-1 tie for hisefforts, Grob held’ Vancouver to five hits and one run but lost .,1-0. That made his lrecord 0 wins and 2 losses. . Really tough going. * Q Q 4 O C L “Supercharged” sports commentators on television could be more dangerous to a heart disease patient than the excitement of a game itself. ' Such is the statement of Dr. Harold Segall, chief of cardiology at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal. Dr. Segall told a medical convention recently that some of his patients always turned the sound off when watching sports on television. The Doctor claimed it enabled them to enjoy the -fine points of the play without suffering from the “professional excitement” of the commentator. l
