Mays And Dark
Sing Praises
By CHARLES MOREY
Sports Writer
Almost unnoticed, Willie Mays
passed a significant milestone last
weekend, his 30th birthday.
That's the age when a >oung
man is supposed to turn into a ma-
ture man. Willie's new manager,
AI Dark, is one who thinks Mays
has done just that.
Says Al: "Mays is much more
mature now. He makes lewer mis-
takets but still hasnt't lost any ol
his skill."
Dark will talk for hours about
Mays, whom he played with on
Ihr Giants when they were slill in
New York.

Pirates Bullpen
Stock Is High
PITTSBUIIGH l.f) - If there is
one department that the Pittsburg
Pirates consider themselves well
stocked in. its the bullpen.
While other teams arc striving
desperately to come up w ith one
reliable "fireman, the Pirates have
three.
'1 neir names, reading from lett to
right, arc Bobby Shantz, Clem La-
Bine and Elroy Face. To give you
an idea of how valuable they are,
the Pirates had to call on either
Face or LaBinc 10 times in the
first 15 games the team played this
year. Elroy and Clem managed to
save 6 of the 10. The otners weie
simply out of rcach.
The Pirates think face is the
best rclicl pitcher in baseball.
That's taking in a lot of territory,
but he certainly can be classed
as one ol the best. Elroy depends
almost entirely on a trick pitch,
a little number called the lork ball.
He leatned it from a lading veter-
an. Joe Page, back in 1954.
Face is only 5-7 and weighs 150
pounds. He says the iork bail acts
like a knucklcr. Of late, he has
been waging psychological warfare
with it. when he thinks the hitter
is braced for it, Elroy throws some,
thing else. That way jou keep them
olf ualancc.
Face seems to have a tremendous
psvchological citcct on his own
team. When he strides in from the
bull pen the whole Pittsburgh Club
comes to life.
Manager Danny Murtaugh of the
Pirates describes Elroy aa worth
his weight in gold. That's a lot of
gold, even for a welterweight, but
Elroy docs pretty well. At better j
than #40.000 a season he just may
be the highest paid relief pitchcr!
o'i all time. i
Pimlico Track
Picnic Ground
NEW YORK WP1—Once again this
year the Prcakness Stakes at Pim-
lico will have almost a picnic at-
mosphere.
Much like the scene at some of
the European tracks, notably the
British ones, Pimlico will be the
scene of family gatherings iu the
Infigifl.
There will he -10,000 seats erected
m the infield. Picnic tablea, gaily
colored tents ar.l a strolling Dixie-
land band imported from New Or-
leans will entertain the fans on
l Preakness Day, May 20.
The fans in the infield may not
see tne race too well. It's tough to
see much of a horse race from the
siround level, but they'll have a lot
of fun.

Trade For Moon
Was Big Deal
For Dodgers
(By ASSOCIATED PRtSSi
You know the old baseball axiom,
sometimes lie hesl I lades are the
ones you don't make.
Then again, sometimes the best
trades are the ones you don't want
to ma'ne, but do.
'lake It from Buz/.ic Bavasi. th
straight-talking vice president ol
the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Buzzic made the deal that
brought Wally Moon to the !«os
Angeles club during the winter of
l958-'59. That trade now is being
hailed as a master stroke by Bav-
asl. Moon played brilliantly in 1959
and again in 1960. This year he
started off at a tremendous clip
with his celebrated "moonshots"
over the left field fence in Los
Angels. Wally has been setting
the pace in home runs all season
in the senior circuit.
Getting back to Bavasi, he told
recently of how the Dodgers man-
aged to land Moon.
It w as during the winter meetings
in late 1958. The general manager
of the St. Uiuis Cardinals, Bing De-
vine, phoned Bavasi and said he
was inleiested in making a deal for
Moon. Devlnc said his dug was
overloaded with left-handed hitters
and needed an outfielder who
swung 'from the right side.
Devine suggested that Gino Cim-
oli would look good in a Cardinal
uniform. Bavasi says his instant
reaction was to say no, that he
wanted more than Moon for Cimoti.
He told Devine about that.
Bing wouldn't take no for an
answer. He said he'd throw in a
pitcher, Phil Paine. Bavasi said
okay. It's a deal.
Mom, of cours", has blossom-
ed out as a full-fledged star for
the Dodgers. Not only that, but he
has secured a future for himself.
The Dodger front office is so im-
pressed with his knowledge <4 hitt-
ing that they plan to offer him a
job as an Instructor when his play-
ing days end.
