Dodgers Riding High
Never in the history of the National League has a ball club finished seventh one year—as the Dodgers did last—and then won the pennant the next—as Walt Alston's crew is threatening now.
The odds-makers were convinced it just couldn't happen. They backed up that belief by making the Dodgers 25-1 shots before the season began.
But those odds looked entirely out of line Monday night when the Dodgers stretched their lead to a full game by beating the Pirates, 9-3, behind Drysdale's nifty six-hit pitching.
The victory was Drysdale's first over Pittsburgh since 1957 and his third of the season. Quite a difference from a year ago when Drysdale's record was 0-3 and the Dodgers were floundering in last place.
The Los Angeles-Pittsburgh game was the only one played in the majors Monday. The only two other ones scheduled—Chicago at Milwaukee and San Francisco at Philadelphia—were rained out. All the American League clubs were idle.
In addition to his pitching, Drysdale, a guy who swings a mean bat, also collected two of his team's 11 hits and had a hand in a five-run first inning rally that chased George Witt and sewed up the game for Los Angeles.
Bill Alley, the Jayhawkers' record-breaking javelin thrower will be featured in the lead story of the May 4th issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.

The article tells of Alley's reasons for switching from Syracuse University to Kansas because he wanted to be on a national champion track team. In the story, the KU ace says he thinks the Jayhawkers will take the top national honor this year.
Last weekend, Alley continued his assault on javelin records as he hurled the spear 253 feet, 5 inches at the Drake Relays for a meet record.

in runs batted in, increased his tota to 20 when he singled to left for two runs. That blow finished Witt, who suffered his third straight loss, and brought in Ron Blackburn. The Pirate reliever issued an intentional pass, then gave up singles to Don Zimmer and Drysdale which produced three more runs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — (UPI) — Whether the Kentucky Derby draws one of the largest fields in its history hinged on the 32nd running of the $15,000 added Derby Trial at Churchill Downs today.
Preliminary Trial to Pick Horses for Kentucky Derby
Other scores for the Jayhawkers were: Bill Toalson, 74; Leon Roulier, 77; Fred Rowland, 81, and John Bowser, 89.
First Landing, who has yet to explode this season with the speed and power which crowned him champion a year ago, was a stronger
Sixteen three-year-olds, a record field were entered for this final "do or die" qualifying test of Derby candidates. And to give each and every one of them a true chance to prove his right to run in America's most spectacular horse race, officials solit the Trial into two sections for the first time.
Nearly half-47 per cent of the natural gas produced in Texas is consumed there too.
Finnegan ruled an 8 to 5 favorite to win the first division of the Trial. He faced Hoist Away, Royal Orbit, Mosby, Troilus, Open View, Rico Tesio and Bernmattar.
Finnegan, winner of the California Derby, headed the first division. First Landing, the 1958 juvenile champion, headed the second.
They are the yardsticks by which rival owners and trainers will determine whether or not to take a shot at the Kentucky Derby, the most coveted prize in thoroughbred racing.
favorite in the second section. He was an even money choice over John Bruce, Quantrell, Dunce, Sundown II, Our Dad, Master Palynch and Steno Bill.
Johnny Longden, who rode in his first Derby 22 years ago and won with Count Fleet in 1943, rides Finnegan. Eddie Cararo, the Derby riding champion with five winners, rides First Landing.
