Low-Grade Malignancy' Sidelines Sam Jones By ASSOCIATED PRESS A medical report showinc low-grade malignancy" has de layed Toothpick Sam Jones' comeback try and clouded the Detroit Tigers' pitching picture. Jones, 36, whose trademarks are a whiplash pitching delivery and an inevitable toothpick, will be lost to the club for an indef inite period while undergoing special treatment.

Nudging 200 pounds soon after his retirement, Phil has been working out lightly for nearly two months . and seriously for the past two weeks and . now weighs 169. . . . Moyer will be managed by John Gable who is pres ently coach of the Eugene . Boxing Club that stages an amateur fight card at the fairgrounds Cow Palace . Friday night. Gable, by the way, has developed one out- ' standing amateur since the ' Eugene club has been in operation Bob Horn, 160- . pound champion in the Mid land Empire (Montana) Golden Gloves, who was voted the "most outstand ing" boxer in the tourney and will represent Oregon in the National Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) . championships. Phil Moyer isn't cer- ' tain when he will return to the ring wars, depending mnsllv on the ability of Sid Flaherty, Portland fight manager, to match him. There is some talk of having professional fights here. Except for rare occasions when Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis fought exhibitions, pro fights have seldom attracted enough attendance to make the program financially worth while. With fighters like Phil and Denny Moyer and Eddie Machem available, pro fights could attract the attention of sports followers in this area, though. As coach Jack Walton will tell you the kids did all of the work. Winning the Oregon A-2 basketball championship at Coos Bay last week put a big feather in the cap of not only the Pleasant Hill community, but the entire i Emerald Empire as well. ... ! Two former University of Oregon athletes are particular : ly proud of the triumph by the Billies Ed Siegmund and ' Bill Berg. ... Ed was a basketball star at Salem High and later a fine hurdler for the Webfoots under the late Col. Bill Hayward. Berg played basketball for the Webfoots under Bill Reinhart . . . The two ex-Webfoots coached the present Pleasant Hill boys when they were sixth-graders. . . . Leo Harris, Oregon athletic director who was official host to the 44th annual A-l basketball tournament at Mc . Arthur Court, was on hand Thursday night when the Cleve . land Indians, particularly Wayne Petersen and Dave Kaf oury, were so torrid while shooting a fantastic percentage of better than .500 that the south-end basket was broken before halftime of the Cleveland-South Salem game Leo helped replace the basket. ... In case of an emergency there is also an extra glass backboard available at the Court, ac cording to Harris. if Three Northwest basketball players who started their careers as outstanding sophomores completed their competition during the past few weeks Oregon's Charlie Warren, Washington's Bill Hanson, and Washington State's Charlie Sells Oregon State's Jay Carty was not so ranked, although the Beaver finished brilliantly. ... Warren tied the school single-game scoring record, and broke the one-season scoring mark, the career scoring record, and had the most career field goals. . . . Hanson, a three-time ill-Big Five selection, established a school record for re bounds in a single game and finished third only to Bob Houbregs and Doug Smart as the most prolific Washington career scorer. . . . Sells established a career rebounding rec ord at WSU. topping John Maras. . . . Three Idaho players were honored at the close of the season. Lyle Parks was presented the Jay Gano award as the most inspirational player. Jay, a former Vandal player whose wife at one time lived here, was killed in Korea. . . . Chuck White won the Ronald White award as the most valuable player. White, Vandal player, was killed in an auto ac cident. The Oz Thompson award, presented to the player with the best scholarship and sportsmanship, also was won by Parks. Thompson, a member of Idaho's 1923 Pacific Coast Conference title team, died a few ars ago. 6 ... ble with San Francisco last year, was aiming at a comeback this season.

At that time doctors said there was no ma lignancy. A sample of the removed tis sue was sent to Detroit where doctors made additional tests and said Jones has "a low-grade malignancy." While Jones' comeback bid was sidetracked, a couple of others appeared to be in full blossom Tuesday. Early Wynn and Herb Score, each attempt inc a comeback with Chicago, looked sharp in the White Sox 2-1, 12- inning victory over the Los An geles Dodgers. Wynn, the burly veteran who Offer Draws No Comment CINCINNATI Wl There was no comment Wednesday from officials of the Crosley Foun dation about Cincinnati Reds' President Bill DeWitt's offer to buy the baseball team. Most of : the trustees of tne foundation were out of town. Its president, Mrs. Stanley E. Kess was reported in Florida where some of the negotiations mentioned by DeWitt apparent ly took place. The foundation owns more than 90 per cent of the Na tional League champions' stock. It was set up by the will of the late Powel Crosley Jr., owner of the Reds, who also urged the foundation to keep the team in Cincinnati. When DeWitt announced Tuesday he was negotiating to buy the team, he added he would definitely keep the Reds here. He said any purchase agreement would involve other partners, but declined to name them and stressed that "This thing is in the nebulous stage now." The club's value has been es timated at about $4 million. All nine National League clubs would have to approve the transaction, as well as the Cros ley Foundation and the Reds' shareholders.

The New York Yankee's first loss of the exhibition season and a sensational performance by San Francisco's Willie Mays Pistons Eliminate Royals in By United press International The Detroit Pistons are in the National Basketball Associa tion's Western finals and the semifinal series with the Philadelphia Warriors, thanks to a lost art of basketball: defense. Walter Dukes' iron-clad defense job on Wayne Embry was the kev as the Pistons beat the Cincinnati Royals 112-111 Tuesday night while Johnny Kerr held Wilt Chamberlain to 29 points and out-rebounded him 22-20, enabling the Syracuse Chiefs to top the Warriors 106-99. . The Pistons thus took their best-of-five series from the Roy als three games to one, and the Nationals tied their series at two games each. The fifth and decisive game of the National- Warriors series will be played at Philadelphia Thursday night. Dukes, a seven-footer who played his college ball at Seton Hall, held Embry to just two field goals before fouling out with 4:45 remaining at Cincin nati. Don Ohl scored 33 points, including the clinching field goal, and Gene Shue had 21 for the Pistons. Oscar Robertson scored 32 points and Jack Twy- man tallied 22 for the Royals. With 6-9 Kerr throttling Chamberlain, the Nationals led all the way at Syracuse. The Warriors dropped behind by 16 points in the second period but twice drew as close as four points during the game. Each time the Nationals pulled away to a new bulge. Kerr led the Nationals with 27 points, Al Bianchi had 17 and Larry Costello had 16. Chamber lain's 29 points were tops for the Warriors followed by Tom Me schery's 23 and Paul Arizin's 21. Chamberlain made only 11 of 24 shots and Coach Dick Mc- Guire said the 7-foot, 1-inch NBA scoring champion "will just have to shoot more Thurs day night. m moof iimucn siiiioht iouio whisky mt wsthihy cd out, rr. 1" TmmT I Basketball hasn't completely left the sports scene with college tournaments still testing the nation's best basketball teams, but baseball is here, too.

A wild throw to first by second baseman Pe dro Gonzalez, attempting to complete a routine double play that would have ended the in ning, let in the winning run. Two of New York's five errors let in the other two runs. Mays cracked two triples and a single and drove in six runs in the Giants' 14-3 rout of Los Angeles.
