PAGE SIX Today's Sports Parade Bv OSCAR FRALEY <* United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (IP) Captain Kidd and the most near sighted member of the International Bird-Watching So ciety never had it so tough as the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Baltimore Oriole-s -r- they aren’t the worst teams in baseball. . Kidd wound up all by himself in chains but there are 25 of the modern-day Pir ates in the National League dun geon. And a bird-watcher who needs the help of an ocu list isn’t nearly as bad off as 25 birds without wings, the grounded Orioles of Baltimore. Still, although it’s hard to conceive, there are teams Jar-worstr shape. As example, the Pirates were 29 games back of the league-leading Brooklyn Dodgers, as of Thursday, while the Orioles’ .286 percentage was the worst in the major leagues. Mavbe it will come as something of a consolation to their fans to learn that at last report Channel City was 30 Vi' games back of the lead in the California League and Hornell of the Pony League had a .220 percentage. Not “Number Five” Channel, obviously not “number five,” thus had the longest margin of any team in organized baseball separ ating it from first place. Yet it’s percentage of .254 wasn’t the worst, either. dubious distinction went to Harnell s .220 .al though the game’s lowest such mark left the club “only” >8 games behind league-leading Hamilton. Giving chase jhtfwnward were “Les Mineurs” of Thetford Mines, a club whosb .239 percentage had it in a deep hole in Canada’s Provincial League. Still, the Miners were only 22 »/ 2 games behind pace-setting Quebec. Even in the upper minor leagues there were clubs with more than their share of trouble. Consider Little Rock of the Southern Association. The Travelers, who weren’t, had a .272 performance to their woe this season .Which left them 26 games back of the Memphis Chicks. Brooklyn Has Competitors J Brooklyn, floating along a rough dozen lengths on top in the National League with a .729 percentage as of Thursday, was the winningest team in baseball but had ts competitors. , That percentage figure was well below the .780 mark of the Hamilton Cardinals, who managed only a 10-game lead over second place even at that pace. Quebec, the Provincial League leader, was in a first place dogfight despite its .723 pace. But Cananea, Mexico, of the Arizona-Mexipo League, had jumped into an IIV2 game lead over second place Phoenix. It is interesting that the world champion New York Giants, badly off their feed, trained at Phoenix, where the “Stars” are having such a rough time of it. Either it is matching or the new Phoenix theme sons is “Are The Stars Gut Tonight?” . . „ Another big winner is Corpus Cnristi of the Big State League. The “Clippers,” with a .710 pace, are 11 games ;o the good over second place Port Arthur. All of which proves that the Dodgers shouldn’t get Ibo cocky because, class for class, they aren’t in a class jy themselves. And it should provide evidence that things •an get worse than they are in Pittsburgh and Baltimore, leUeve it or not. Over 500 Insurance Companies Pay Chiropractic Claims.

In fact it would hardly be amiss to say that the Dodgers are bunt ing their way to the bunting. In their shining 6-5 victory over the Giants in 11 inings Thursday, four bunts, each deftly delivered on the first pitch, meant more than a two-run homer by Willie Mays which looked as if it would win the game for the Giants in the 10th. _ On each occasion the Dodgers were desperate facing sudden death defeat. In the last of the ninth, trailing 3-2, after Sandy Amoras and Gil Hodges singled, Carl Furillo, who is not noted for his bunting ability, laid down a sacrifice on the first pitch. Dix»e Howell, rushed into the linedfc> for the first time this year because both Roy Campanella and Rube Walker were hurt, followed with a sacrifice fly that tied it up at 3-3. THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N.

Jim Gilliam led off with a hunt single which hog-tied the Giant in field. Duke Snider tripled him home and Jackie Robinson shipped down a perfect squeeze to the first base side to tie it at 5-5. The winning rally was achieved in the 11th when Ramon Monaant, sixth Giant pitcher, walked Furillo to hotten the water, Howell came Through again with a sacrificie taunt that but Furillo on second And within easy delivery distance of home plate on pinch-hitter GebTge Shuba’s bounding single through ‘'the middle. The victory was especially signl 'camt because of the showing of the fSrooklyn bench, Howell coming •through after Walker was injured In a collision at home plate and 'Shuba perhaps saving himself from! being sent to the minors When dhe Dodgers bring up talent to re place men on the Injury list..
