'Don't Count Pirates Out'
Bv UNITED PRESS
Even at this early date it seems like a good time to pick losers in the major league pennant races and don't bet against the Pirates, Orioles, and Senators in the cellar derby.
Manager Bobby Bragan of the Pirates already has started fining his players for what he calls "mis-executions" and he really is going to sock them for up to $1,000 for violation of the 1 a.m. curfew. He claims the Giants, who have won two in a row from the Bucs, are an ordinary second division team and that the Pirates may beat them out.
The Pirates, at least made it tough all the way before losing to the Giants on both days. Willie Mays had to single home the winning run in the last of the ninth for Wednesday's 5 to 4 Giant victory.
The Giants led comfortably, 3 to 0 against the Bucs on early rallying that featured successive homers by Fos Castlean and Gail Harris. The Pirates kayoed Ruben Gomez in the fourth with three runs, one on a homer by Frank Thomas and the same Thomas put them ahead with a second homer in the seventh.
The Yankees pounded out a 9-5 triumph over the Senators at Washington, making it a total of 19 runs in two days against the hapless hurlers of Charley Dressen. And at Boston, the Red Sox came from behind to defeat Baltimore, 8 to 4, making it 16 tallies in two days for the Bostonians.

Phog Applauds Stalcup, Hank Iba As 'Greats'
The usually bitter-worded Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, retiring basketball coach, uttered some sweet ones yesterday for two competitors.
"I want to say something nice," said Dr. Allen. "I want to talk about Sparky Stalcup and Hank Iba, two of the finest, toughest competitors of my 39 years at KU." $ \textcircled{4} $
Dr. Allen said Wilbur (Sparky) Stalcup, Missouri coach, sold himself to Kansans during a touchy incident in 1952 when Kansas center Clyde Lovellette inadvertently stepped on Missouri's Win Wilfong, who had fallen during a tight game in Kansas City Municipal Auditorium.
The crowd went into a frenzy. Efforts to quiet the fans by Big Seven Secretary R. E. Peters and Oklahoma Coach Bruce Drake were in vain.
Then, he said, Stalcup calmed the 10,000 irate fans by putting his arm around Lovellette and having the giant shake hands with Missouri's players.
"The crowd wanted blood," said Dr. Allen. "It wanted my blood. It was the wildest place I'd ever been in."
"I waited until the end of the season, then I wrote Sparky," said Dr. Allen, adding that he told the Missouriian he was "top man" in basketball as far as as "Phog" was concerned.
Dr. Allen praised Iba, characterizing him as the "Iron Duke" of basketball.
"It's time for me to talk about these two men." Dr. Allen told the United Press. "We have battled back and forth for years and they gave us a lot of trouble."
