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.

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

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

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.
RUINS BAER'S
Tommy Farr, 23, British empire heavyweight champion, flung
his arms high to accept the cheers of English fight fans after his
victory in London over Max Baer, former world champion who

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.
