Kapp D mbles Charles Bishop, down from Kan fas City, limited Los Angeles to , three hits and he dueled George Piktuzis down to the Jinal frame. Then in the ninth with the score 11, Earl Rapp did it again with a double to send Milt Smith home. Ed Kazak then singled Rapp home and the scoring was over. Williams Drills One Into Stands By JOHN (i It II TIN United Prow Spurts Writer . K coming events cast their sha dows before them, here is a warn ing to American League pitchers. Look out Ted -Williams has found the range. It was only an exhibition game, but the Boston blaster can.e back into action Monday night for the first time since he went Into tem porary retirement at the end of the 1954 season and hit a home run into the right field grandstand in his second time at bat. The Red Sox won the charity contest from the world champion Now York Giants, 4-3, and Wil liams retired after three innings of play. The game itself was called after seven innings, both teams being committed to catch trains for Rames Tuesday night.' Williams, who hopes he will be able to get into the Red Sox lineup regularly again by next week-eni. said merely "it is nie to got off to a good start but I'm afraid I can't play right away." "I'd like to play tonight but I'm afraid I enn't' he said, "My legs feel pretty heavy and my arms are a little tired but my hands icel pretty good." Williams with his one big smash after a wrong-field popper to left in his first time at bat in the first inning, also blasted two pre-gnme homers in a contest with various players on both sides. Willie Mays of the Giants' hit one pro-game homer. Norm Zauchin, Boston rookie h'.t two homers in the game and Bill Taylor hit one for the Giants. Both managers, Leo Durocher of the Giants and Mike Higglns of the Ked hox, saw action and Leo ben! out a bunt.

Probe Continues In Ring Doping By Kl SS GRKEN , United Press Sports Writer PHILADELPHIA (UP) The4 Pennsylvania State Athletic Com mission, which believes a handler if Julio Mederos knows who Irugged Harold Johnson before his xut with the Cuban, looked for limmy White, one of Mederos' nanagers, to appear at its hearing iday as it continued investigating he strange finish of the bout. White was identified by earlier witnesses in the investigation of he nationally-televised fiasco on fay 6 as one of the persons in 'ohnson's dressing room before he bout. Johnson's fantastic col ipse between the second and third 'ounds brought on a 90 day sus pension of boxing in Pennsylvania 'nd the commission inquiry. White also was identified as a nanager of the Cuban heavyweight "ho, the commission was told, is o-managed by ex-convict Louis lacearome of Miami, Fla., and "ormer middleweight champion lake I.a Motta. Baron Cohen of Springfield, lass., a boxing oromoter, match maker and handler for '35 years, vho drew the ire of deputy state tty. Gen. Herbert Levin Monday "or what the counsel called "well -cheiirscd testimony," told the in- 'estigators White hired him to vork in Mederos' corner for the Tohnson fight. ; Cohen was the "cut man" in Vi.xing jargon the man hired to :)ose cuts and lacerations' sus 'ained by the boxer. ' l.cvin asked Cohen polntblank during the questioning "W h o ave the drug to Johnson?" Be fore the witness left the chair Levin said, "I think you know and ton't care to tell us." Cohen, who appeared as a volun tary witness at the telegraphed request of "John J.' Kelly" said he believed a terrific left hook to the body in the first - round paved tiie way to Johnson's ultim ate collapse and defeat. It was pointed out that com mission doctors testified barbitur ates had been given Johnson, and that the drug was making itself felt before he entered the ring. Standings . Pacific Coast League W I.

Sluggers Suffer Batting Slumps NEW YORK (UP) Early-season slumps are harrassing many of the major leagues' most celebrated hitters, with Al Rosen of the In dians, Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers, Frank Thomas of the Pirates and Ray Jablonski of the Redlegs among the leading suffer ers. More than 20 players are bat ting 50 points or more below their 1954 averages and the long-ball sluggers on the slump-ridden sit outnumber the "singles hitters." Just look at the names of some of the other big-name batters who have been having a rough time of it in the first six weeks of the 1955 season: Willie Mays of the Giants, last year's major league batting lead er; Billy Goodman of the Red Sox, Ralph Kiner of the Indians, Ray loone of the Tigers, Hank Sauer f the Cubs, Joe Adcock and Bobby Thomson of the Braves, Jim Pier sail of the Red Sox, Eddie Yost if the Senators, Jim Finigan of t 'lo'ics. Junior Gilliam of the "Dodgers and Iry Noren of the Yan kees. In some cases, illness and in- iury have been largely responsible tor the poor 1955 start. Rosen, 3oone, Sauer, Thomas' and Tbon i are, among those who hava leen set back by physical ua- .nents. But for the others these slumps are of mysterious origin and an agonizing experience while they last. For sheer deficiency in batting points, there's no one in the majors as bad off as Thomas, who at i sorry .165 clip is 133 points off his final 1954 average. The Pirates' 25-year-old outfielder, rated one of the majors' top prospects last year when he batted .298 and hit 23 homers, was stricken by a virus early this season, missed eight games, and has had trouble re gaining his batting form. Piersall is another whose batting mark is off njore than 100 points from '54. A respectable .285 hitter last year, the speedy Red Sox out fielder currently is bogged down at .180.' BEND AN EAR By FRED WADE Bulletin Sports Writer With the high school sports year concluded old King baseball has begun to take hold on the popv- lation of Central Oregon. The Loggers will begin their sea son at Coquille this Saturday but then will romain idle until June 11 when the Portland Longshore men will be tn Bend for the first home series of the season. Plans for the sale of season tickets are coming along in fine shape along with the shower rooms beneath the grandstand at the Municipal field. Little league baseball is now al most in high gear with Ad Liska schools concluded and the first contests of the season already be hind. This proves that summer is not far in the future and for those that .don't like baseball it won't be long until that old swimming pool will be open.

The first new mark came in the high hurdles when he skimmed over the sticks in a flying lime of 14.4. . A time of 24.2 in the low hur dles brought Benson more honors and established a new record. With the additional meets slated for Dean we may hear a great leal more about him in the next few weeks. Benson is only a junior at W1-. lamette and great tilings are ex pected from him in the future. The PCC track meet to be held . t.
