Blue JAYS CLIMB
TO SECOND PLACE

BROOKLYN, May 5. -[P)- The
surprising Philadelphia Phillies
got good pitching again, this time
from Southpaw Ken Raffensberger,
and climbed into second place in
the National League flag race on
the strength of their 8 to l victory
over Brooklyn.
It was the fifth straight triumph
for the Phillies and the third in
row for Raffensberger, a 49,
game winner with Los Angeles OF
the Coast League last season.
Raffensberger was tighter than
pair of new shoes, giving the
Dodgers only four bloWs-tWo OF
them to Frenchy Bordagaray-and
his southpaw shoots were SO effec-
tive that only one fly ball was lifted
to the outfield. He walked two
batters.
The game wcs virtually decided
in the fifth frame when Ron Nor
they hammered one of Curt Da-
Wis. offerings for home run with
Elvin Adams ON base.
The Phils now are only halt
game behind the pace-setting St
Louis Cardinals, whose game to-
day was postponed because OF cold
weather.

NAMED for minor league Commits
sioner William G. Bramham to
make years claimed and years llv-

Bramham has barred Bill Schef-
fer of the Bufflo Bisons from
the game because Schaffer said
he was 10 years old, whereas,
Bramham charges, the infielder
actually is 27 How the Caroline
ledge got his information is not
revealed, although it is assumed
he doesn't go around looking IN
ball players mouths or saving
them in two and counting the
rings.
Anyway, aside from Schaeffer' S
apparent effort to nullify a con-
.ract On false grounds, we fail to
appreciate what he would gain
oy Judging a few years on his age,
$1,000, as pro base ball is not con-
ducted like boss racing and the
races are not designated as for
two-year-old maidens or for three
vea--olds and up.
It's game of performance re-
.ardlers of age and today you'll
ind 4O-year-olds pitching against

enough to be their sons.
If Schaeffer figured his age by
a process of deduction with the
nope that major league clubs
would look more kindly toward a

player creeping up on 80 he was
.ooling nobody but himself.
