CONLEY. GETS WIV Sam Jones Hurls. First No-Hitter By ASSOCIATED It's jetting so that oiy some time giys, castoffs and sore arms ltch no-hitters in the 'major leagues any more. The big name pitchers just come close. , Toothpick-chcwin' Sam Sories, , a 6-4 righthander wjiom Cleveland gave up onbt'eause of a sore arm, added to the trend by hand cuffing Pittsburgh's Pirates with out a hit in a 4-0 victory for the Chicago Cilbs Thursday. It was the first no-hitter sine last June 12, when Jim Wilson stopped Philadelphia cold 2-0 for the Milwaukee Braves. 1 The most recent no-hit success before Wilson's was the 6-0 job a lad named Bobo Holloman hung on the Athletics for the Browns in 1953. He did it in his first start for St. Louis, but won only two more that season while losing seven. From there he trailed off to the minors. You have to go back to 1952 before you find names like Virgil Trucks and Carl Erskine in the no-hitter list. Since then, the big guys in the majors have just missed. Jones, 29, made it tough 'on him- STANDINGS AMERICAN W : Cleveland 19 Chicago lfi Detroit 15 'New York 14 i Washington 11 Kansas City 10 'Boston 11 Baltimore 8 Pet. .704 .640 .577 .583 .423 .400 . .393 17 THURSDAY'S RESULTS Boston 12, Kansas City 7 Washington 3, Cleveland 0 Chicago 6, Baltimore 2 Only games scheduled NATIONAL W 'Brooklyn . 22 New York 13 Milwaukee 14 Chicago 14 St. Louis 10 Pittsburgh II Cincinnati 9 Philadelphia 8 Pet.

Jones, part of the winter deal that sent Ralph Kiner to Cleve land, walked seven and fanned six. The Cubs backed him up nicely in the field and tagged loser Nelson King and Vern Law for, 15 hits, one Ted Tappe's hom er. CRANDALL HOMERS The lone other National League game also was spectacular. Del Crandall broke it up in the 12th with a home run off Ed Roebuck his first hit in 24 at bat that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 victory over Brooklyn. The Dodgers now have lost two straight, after winning 22 of 24. Rain postponed Philadelphia at Cincinnati and New York at St. Louis. In the American, Maury McDer mott and Washington broke Cleveland's winning streak at six games by a 3-0 count, beating rookie Herb Score despite only two hits off the lefty in six inn ings. Chicago beat Baltimore 6-2 with four runs in the ninth and Boston whacked Kansas City 12-7. Detroit and New York were idle. At Milwaukee, Gene Conley went all the way for the Braves, hooking up in a duel with Carl Erskine for 11 innings. Erskine was lifted for a pinchhitter and Roebuck came on in the 12th. Crandall smacked his second pitch. Conley, now 4-1, gave six hits to Erskine's nine. Hank Aaron's second-inning homer and Sandy Amoros' blast in the fourth took care of the only other scoring. Danny O Connell s terrific stop of Duke Snider's smash helped check Brooklyn in a rocky lllh for Con ley, who got Jackie Robinson on a pop up to end it with the bases loaded. SCORE TIES TURLEY Cleveland couldn't do much of anything against McDermott, who granted just four hits in' his best performance since joining the Senators in a 1953 winter deal with Boston. Score fanned seven, tying the Yankees' Bob Turley for the ma jor league lead with 57, but walks got him in trouble. Mickey Ver non singled home the first run after a walk and a wild pitch. A walk, stolen base, Ed Filz Ger ald's infield single and an error scored another in the fourth. The third run came off Art Houtte man, who replaced Score after the sixth. The White Sox moved to within two games of the first-place Tribe on a walk, three singles and Jim Rivera's two-run double in the big ninth inning. Harry Dorish was the winner. Boston kicked up its first real storm in a long while, smacking 15 hits off three A's pitchers. Vic Raschi, attempting a comeback, was jarred for seven runs in the first two innings. Gene Stephens and Jackie Jensen homered for four of Boston's five runs in the second. Gus Zernial's ninth and 10th homers and Bill Renna's fourth accounted for the A's runs as Ike Dclock won it with help from Tom Hurd.

Bailey and Dellinger, who tan gled for the first time last week at Vancouver with the Australian soph nosing out the NCAA de fending champion in 4:15.0, are favored to lead the Ducks to an easy win' over Oregon State in the final meet of the season. The activities get underway at 10:30 a.m. with Coach Len Casa nova dividing his squad into Greens and Whites for the final day of action prior to the fall opening of the 1955 grid season. Several of the Ducks, guards Reanous Cochrane and Jack Po cock and halfbacks Dick James and Chuck Osborne, are sidelined with injuries and illness. Major interest lies in the sophomores and junior college transfers who are battling for a place on the squad as replacements for the 16 lettermen, including eight start ers, who are not returning from the 1954 team which finished third in the Pacific Coast Con ference. Several meet records are in jeopardy when the Duck and Bea ver trackmen meet at 2 p.m. with the Frosh-Rook meet scheduled to be run in conjunction with the varsity affair. Bailey and Del- linger can both crack the mile mark of 4:19.3 set by Al Martin of Oregon, Ken Reiser could eas ily lower his own mark of 9:30.3 in the two mile, Jack Moad could crack the shot put mark of 49 feet 2Vs inches set in 1937, and Martin Pedigo could break the broad jump standard of 23 feet 8'4 inches established in 1939. In other Saturday action the Oregon varsity and frosh tennis players move to Corvallis for the final meeting with Oregon State.
