The Oakride nine is one of the tougher learns in Iheir seetion, but they were no mnteh for the slants of Tom Hay and Marv Lines. Oakridge boasts a strong left handed balling lineup and accord ing to reports rely on a short right field fence at home. We were glad lo see tlutt Dunne Helbig, who played fool ball and baseball at Oregon State, was sold the Brooklyn Dodgers by the Tri-Cily Braves yesterday.

But the cash value of it goes far beyond that in endorse incuts, sporting goods maimf'lm ers aff Hint Ions and exhibitions'. more than tripling the golfing jat'k- pot. Both of them round the key to their victories on the par five 507- yard 17th hole of the Meadowhrook Country Club course. Both of them eagled the hole to go 1 up. From that point in, it was easy. Middlecoff, dead-tired from the gruelling 1 up 40-holo triumph he had scored over Jack Burke in the piarter-finals on Sunday, knocked 'lis No. 3 iron second 20 feet from tho cup and sank the putt. Ford, hooting the best golf of any play er in the tournament, put his No. I id second 10 feet from the flag and also sank the eagle putt.

Bill Thomason, rang the bell last night with the finest pitching stint )f his career a 4 to 0, one-hit victory over Portland. Thomason's victory, which came n the seven-irming opener of a cheduled double bill, was spoiled nly by Artie Wilson's drag bunt n the sixth inning.

Civil War general is said to have founded the game of baseball set-1 tied back into its quiety way of life today, leaving the normal stream of tourists to examine shix shiny new placques in baseball's Hall of Fame. The placques honor the six all time stars of the diamond who .vere officially inducted into the Hall in Monday's colorful ceremo nies Joe DiMaggio, Ted Lyons, Oazzy Vaucc, Gabby Hartnett. ?rank (Home Run) Baker, and Hay Schalk. ' All six of tho new members were m hand for the ceremonies, as well as baseball's highest officials. At their conclusion, the annual major-league exhibition game was played at the field named for Gen., Abner Doubleday with the Boston Red Sox beating the Milwaukee Braves, 4-2, as Ted Williams and Ted Lepcio hit homers to pace Boston's attack. Dick Brodowski pitched the full nine innings for Boston, allowing nine hits. i DiMaggio, at 40 the youngest man ever Inducted into the Hall and therefore the most familiar to present-day fans, stole the show at the induction ceremonies with his brief speech. The former star centerfielder of the New York Yankees concluded; "This is a happy day for me. Tin last chapter has been written. I can now close the book." Lyons, who won 260 games in his 21 years as a Chicago White So pitcher, said, "This is the greatest thing that can happen to a bal player after he ends his career."

Noted for his slow, deliberate playing, whereas Ford is one of the fastest players, Middlecoff hoped that his cautious playing would not upset Ford. "Ford is one of the fastest, if not tho fastest, players I know and I hope my game doesn't hold him up," the. golfing dentist said. "I don't try to be slow intentionally, just cautious. "I can't make any predictions. because a golf ball takes a lot of funny bounces just like a football, and ynu never can tell. If Dong has a good day. he'll win and if I have a good day. I'll take it." This isn't tho first lime these Iwo pros have clashed head-on They tied with Pave Douglas for Ihe Kansas City Open champion ship in 1951 and Middlecoff won it n a playoff.

Stengel's seamy "phyz" wore a worried frown afler a meeting with Yankee officials on what to do about their shaky pitching staff Marion, whose surging Sox have won 10 out of 14 games since the All-Star game, sported a relaxed grin as ho sized up his own steady pitching and drawled. 'Road trips don t scare me." Although tho Yankees go into to night's fray at Yankee Stadium with a "one game" lead, the White Sox could take over the lead by throe percentage points by a vic tory. To get that big win, Marion was sending out young righthand er Dick Donovan (13-3), who has beaten the Yanks three times this year without a loss. Stengel was countering wilh southpaw Tommy Byrne (8-2), the one-time "wild man" who has not beaten the Sox this year and has lost to them once. Seven losses in the last nine, games has the Yankee pitching staff staggering and has Stengel talking to himself. "PiteherH Ain't Pitehln . . ." "The pitchers ain't pitchin', the hitters ain't hittin', and they don't look like they're ever gonna, either," Casey grumbled as ho headed into a crisis meeting with George Weiss, the Yankee general manager. The Stengel-Weiss talks centered around pitching, of course, since the staff's top winners. Bob Turley and Whitey Ford, -suddenly can't National League W. I..
