' A J. fc.A -i-.'.-v-....; " I' TRIPLE PLAY BY YANKS IS FIRST SEEN IN SEASON Crafty Lazzeri Sparks Play Burleigh Grimes Ban ished for Beefing As Bees Trim Brooklynites By BILL BOM Associated Press Sports Writer Onet again In tint placa In the American league, the Yana at reedy ere step ahead of their blis tering 183 pace. A they man-handled their way to victory In the Junior clrcuit'e pen sent race and the world aerlea laat year, the Yanks skipped few team and Individual batting honors. Now they have achieved one peak they mused In their record-breaking I93S climb with the major leagues' tint triple play of the week-old seas eon. Laat aeason the American league had seven, to tie the all-time record, but the Yanka didn't have one. Credit for setting the three-ply killing in motion goes to Tony Laz zeri, the crafty veteran from Ban Francisco. Tough Tony has done a lot of neat Jobs for the Yanks, but few have been neater than that In the eighth Inning of yesterday's 7-1 defeat of the Athletics. The defeat shoved the As out of the lead and moved the champions Into It. With runners on first and second, Chubby Dean drove one of Johnny Broaoa's offerlnga atralght at Laz zeri, Tony elected to gamble, trap ped the ball, then flipped It to Shortstop Prank Crosettl, his fellow Ban Franciscan. Before the A'a or the frost-bitten customers knew what was going on, Bob Johnson had been forced At sec ond, Dean was thrown out at first snd Welly Moses waa tagged by Red ftolfa as he went Into thltd. A likely rally had been nipped In the bud and Broaca's spell ovar the A's he beat them four times laat year re mained unbroken. Though the weather man washed out all but thrue gamea yeaterday, those three provided enough excite ment to go around. The Boston Bees' 0-0 trimming of the Brooklyn Dodgers was marked by Brooklyn Manager Burlegh Orlmea1 second con secutive expulsion from the field, bold Burleigh beefing too strongly in one of Umpire Larry Ooetz's deci sions. In Boston, Bobby Doerr, 10-year-old Bd Sox recruit second baseman from the Faclflo Coast league, waa beaned by Washington Right-hander Ed Links, In the course of Boston's 13-8 slaughtering of the Senators. Doerr went to a Hub hospital for X-rays and observation. Foots Creek FOOTS CREEK, April 37. (Spl.)

CloiOi time for Too Lata to Claa try Ada la 1:90 p. m. Sport Graphs Billy Hnlen Sayi: Track and Field Revival Seen in Southern Oregon Track and field athletlca In south ern Oregon high achoole, dead for several years, are making a strong comeback. Even In the class B schools Central Point, Phoenix. Jacksonville and Kerby the rejuve nation la spirited. Medford high of the class A Insti tutions la probably the beat example of what can be done by a determined group of athletes under an interested coach. The Tigers produced a team last year for the first time In many, and surprised everyone. Including Coach Bill Bowerman hlmxelf. by taking second place In the northwest junior meet staged In Portland, in the district meet. Medford' varsity outfit finished sixth In a field of 17, not bad considering that truck had been overlooked here for many years. This aeEM't, Bowerman hah welded hut year's Junior team nnd varsity hold-overs Into the most powerful squad, according to past score, of any aggregation In southern Oregon with the ex ception of Klamath Fulls. It may ht even stronger than the I'cll cuns. for all utiyhody knows, al though to date there Is no meth od by which the two teams can be compared. Bowerman has some real atara on the squad and It wouldn't surprise to see one or more of them cop liwt place In the state meet, to be staged In June. Ruse Werner ran the hai.f mlle last year in the Junior meet In 3:08 3 to crack the record, and two weeks ago here stepped the distance In 3:09.3 to prove that he haa loet none of hla speed. It waa his flrat race of the year, and he should bet ter that time considerably as the season progresses. Chris Barker, another member of laat year's Junior team and winner of first place In the mile at that meet, has clicked off some amazing tlmea so far this season. Two weeks ago In the meet here, he beat Gor don McCollum of Grants Pass by eight feet In 4:03, and last Friday In O rants Pass ran a dead heat with the Caveman flyer In 4:46. The two rivals will fight It out again noxi Saturday when Med ford high stages an Invitational meet for southern Oregon schools. Hobby Ettlngor, In the loo-yard dafth. flew the distance In in second flat, Friday night at drams Pass. That Is near world rerord time, and Just one-tenth of a aeconrt under the state rec ord for high school runners. That's the fastest century Roblt) ever stepped, and If he ran do It again In the state meet, Mrdford will he practically assured or u f I rut place. 1JIU, Bowman and Luther, In the high and low hurdles, swept all three places in those two event here a couple of weeks ago, and last week In Granta Paao, Finch and Howard teamed with HIU to sweep the high hurdles, in two meets, Med ford not lost a point In either event nnu Coach Bowerman has hla eyes glvn-d on the state meet. He believes the Tigers have an excellent chance to grab some points In both the hurdle races. Sport funs of southern Oregon are due for a large week-end next Satur day and Sunday; the busiest, In taut, of the year. Saturday, the big Invitational track and field meet will be held on the Mcdford high field with athletea frcm Aalilantl, Roeehurg, Oranta Pane, Meo. ford. Kerby, Phoents, and probably others, competing. The annua! 20-30 club motorbiat regatta will be alaged on Emigrant Inke Sunday afternoon. The bct known drivers and the faMeat boats on the Pacific coast will enter. Baseball fans Sunday will get their fill of the national pastime In three southern Oregon cities, with the opening of the Boutheru Oregon lea gue seshon.

This Week Only $35.00 Suits Tailored to Your Measure at $24.95 Klein the Tailor UPSTAIRS BRITT'S ARM HOLD PETE IN EVENT After suffering plenty of punish ment from that much-debated but atlll legal (In Oregon) arm-breaker hold, pete Belcastro. the mad Italian from Weed, Cel., finally fell victim to Alvln Britt last night In the main event of Promoter Mack Llllard's weekly grappling card at the armory. It took Brltt almost the entire one hour time limit to gain the verdict, and before he finally did, Pete had given him some of his town medl cine, much to the glee of the fans. It wa a rather peculiar situation last night; peculiar In the sense th.it for the first time In memory, Alvln Brltt, ex-Junior heavyweight cham pion of the world, waa on the short end of the cheering. Belcaatro, uau. ally the vllllan. waa the falr-halred boy In the eyes of the paying cua tomers, making It perfectly obvious that, legal or Illegal, local addicts would Just as leave not witness the arm-breaker maneuver. In fact, Pot was cheered to a fare-thee-well when several times he reversed the order of things and cracked Brltt's arm and neck across the top strand of the ring ropes. The match waa decided In two out of three falls, with Belcaatro taking the first and Brltt the next two. After about 30 minutes of milling around the ring. Pete slammed Brltt Into the ropes, caught him on the rebound, holated him up and over his shouldera, and promptly pinned his back to the carpet. Brltt took the next tumble In 18 minutes after weakening Pete with arm and neck-breakera over hla leg and the rope. Pete waa so damaged by the tactics that he was easy prey for a body press, and the third and deciding fall came a few minutes later In the aame manner. Brltt, since hla last appearance here aeveral months ago, displayed a mct painful and effective variation to the simple arm-breaker, to-wlt, the neck- breaker. He maneuvered It In the same manner, but Instead of crack'ng pete's arm across the ropes or his leg. he used hla neck. Toots Rates, the flashy, handsome ex-champlon of the Hawaiian Islands, took two out of throe falls from Duke Pettlgrove, the New Orleanc meanle. The end came In a peculUi manner. With one fall each, Pettl grove, In true vllllan fashion, hur(p Eestes by the neck between the top and middle atranda of the ropes. With Estea nppurcntly choking to death and the crowd In an uproar. Pettlgrove scurried across the ring and got himself tangled In the ropoa, stretching them tight to put lie pressure on Estra' neck. Estes final ly got undone, and with Duke bliss fully unnwnrc of the fact, crept across the arena and dumped the vllllana shoulders to the mat while he was still hanging In the ropes. Estea won the first fall with a flying body scissors after plenty of dirt on the part of Pettlgrove. The latter took the next tumble In the third round with foul punches to the groin and head, and the two hammered away until the finish In the fourth canto. Cowboy Billy MrEwen grabbed two atralght from Pat O'Brien In the opening match, the falla coming In the second and third rounds. Al though not the dirtiest grappler In the game, O'Brien displayed enough left-handed tactics to make the largo crowd hate him vehemently. McKw-n took the first fall with a Boston crab, and tho second with a series of thundering body alams. LEVINSKY, DOYLE AT Ee MONEY LONDON, Eng.. April 37. (API Even money waa the best you could get today on either contestant In to night's "battle of the brains" be tween Jack Doyle, the trlsh tenor, snd Chlcagos Klngflsh Levlnsky st Wembley stadium. Nobody seemed to hava clear Idea which waa likely to win. but there was a feeling It might be a lot of fun since Doyle said yesterday that bratns would be the deciding factor and he possessed the better set of thinking equipment. The Klngflsh promised to knock Doyle cold for making such a crack. ODservere who have watched the pair training day by day said there is little to cnooee between them either IntrlhH'tually or puglllsttrally. Some 16000 feus were expected to attend tonight's doings. The Klngflsh. scaling 03. will have about 30 pounds wetttht advantage.

WRAY CO. Phone 202 FIVE BERTHS OPEN IN BASEBALL CLUB AS OPENER NEARS So far as Manager Mike Balkovtck of the Medford baseball team Is con cerned, five positions are still wide open as th elub commences daily practice sessions for the Southern Oregon league opener at Grant Pass next Sunday. Dally, from today through Saturday, the locals will workout at the fairgrounds field at 5 p. m., and alt aApl rants are urged to report. Only four posts are definitely clinched, the manager reported to day. They are at second base, where Wally Rlckert will hold forth: short stop, where Dick Lewis will be sta tioned; third base, where Donny Don ovan will perform, and behind the bat, where Balkovlck, himself, will see action. First base, the starting pitcher, and all three outfield berths are still "up in the air." he reports. With four better-than-fair pitch er to choose from, the husky skip per is still undecided upon who will fill the starting assignment against the strong Merchants. Ray Erickson aJid Alvin Merritt, both righthanders, did the twirling against Weed last Sunday and looked about on a par, Balkovick reported. Ray Til n gate, member of last year's ataff. made the trip to the California city, but saw no action because of his condition. He has hardly touched a ball so far this year. Larry Pepper is the other mound candidate, and looks good. Balkovick says. All the above pitchers are right handers, and the manager la liter ally praying that Grants Pass will come, up with a right-handed hitting club. So far, little word has been received from the Merchants regard ing their roster outside of the fact that It will be composed mainly of youngsters. Manager Jud Pernoll will produce a strong team, however. The first base battle aeems to be between Hoffman, a lanky youngster, and Sammy Van Dyke. Van Dyke, according to Manager Balkovick. has the edge at the plate with Hoffman fielding the Initial cushion in bet ter style. Which one will get the call depends upon performa--rs during practice session this week.
