PAGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, MAT 29, 1942 Sport Graphs o Billy Hulen Says: Reds Will Open Baseball Camp Here Wednesday Time was when a youngster aspiring to break into organized baseball, with a major league career nil eventual goal, had to put the "touch" on papa for the necessary (are to reach a spring training camp, and in general go through "hell ar.d high water" to get a chance to dis play hii ability before the proper eyes. All that has changed now. Fierce competition among the big league clubs to sign promis ing young players has resulted In the professional teams bring' ing tryout camps to tne pas timers and THE leader in this method of discovering potential major loopers is Cincinnati, Na tional league champion In 1939 and 1940. Starting next Wednesday morning at the high school park the Reds will conduct their an nual tryout camp for young players in this area. It will last through Sunday, five days, and will be one of 26 similar camps to be held west of the Missis sippi river this spring and sum mer. tn charge of the camp will be George (Mickey) Shader, Pacific coast scout for the Xedlegs, who Is expected to arrive in town tomorrow to ' get things In shape for the sessions. E. H. Hedrlck, city school superintendent, has turned over to Shader all facilities at the fine high school athletic plant as he has graciously done at all previ ous camps. The camp will be absolutely free, and those enrolling must provide only their own gloves and shoes, and transportation and living expenses if they re side outside Medford. The Reds will furnish all other equipment necessary in the staging cf daily nine-inning games among the enrollees. Aspirants showing sufficient promise will be tendered con tracts with one of Cincinnati's minor league clubs. This Is the way the Reds acquired such present-day stars as Harry Craft. Frank McCormick, Whitey Moore, Junior Thompson and Ray Lammano, the current Cin cinnati rookie catcher whose hitting Is setting the National league afire. Shader cordially Invites all players between 17 and 21 to enroll in the camp. Enrollment blanks may be obtained from the writer of this column, or from Shader at 10 a. m. next Wednesday at the high school park, when the camp will of ficially open. , Prospect of witnessing a run-of-the-mill wrestling match leaves us, Inevitably, entirely unmoved. But not this Savoldl McDonald "gigantic" slated for next Monday evening Of all the mat 'contests Mack Llllard has brought to Medford in the past several years, this looks like the best of them ell, the "natural" of "naturals." Savoldl, with his terrific drop kicks, all around class and gaudy -ilor, is one of the Indus try's to,- workmen. And Mc Donald is not far behind.

The Cronln Clouters were stopped 81 by the Washington Senators at the capital last night and now have lost 12 of their last 17 encounters, all but three away from home. Joe Gordon extended his cur rent hitting streak to 13 games yesterday and won a 3-2 deci sion for the world champions over the Philadelphia Athletics by rapping a single with the bases loaded and the score tied in the ninth. Virgil (Fire) Trucks, strike out king of International League last year, pitched his first com plete game for Detroit Tigers and held the Cleveland Indians to four hits for a 6-2 victory. The St. Louis Browns rallied for four runs In the eighth In ning to beat the Chicago White Sox 6-4 and gain their sixth vic tory In seven games. The Brooklyn Dodgers set down the Boston Braves again 6-4. with Klrby Higbe pitching seven-hit ball.. The St. Louis Cardinals took advantage of this outcome to strengthen their hold on second place in the National League with a 3-2 eleven-Inning triumph over the faltering Pittsburgh Pi rates, who now have lost 11 of 13 games. Big Bill Lee. making a fine comeback this season, achieved his seventh victory by holding the Cincinnati Reds to six hits while the Chicago Cubs foreed to a 2-1 triumph In 12 Innings. Lee himself knocked In the win ning run with a long fly. Scores Yesterday (By The Associated Press) National Leegue Brooklyn, 6; Boston, 4. Cincinnati. 1- Chimm S 111 Innings).

(VP) Bay Robinson still sports the longest winning streak in recent fistic history today, but only be cause a referee saw one low punch where most rlngsiders saw two--and booed. There was no doubt about the booing by the 13,673 customers who sat in Madison Square Gar den last night, both when the low punches were struck in the second round, and again after the fight, when Robinson was announced the winner of a 10 round decision over baby-faced Marty Servo from Uncle Sam's coast guard. ' The decision was the third In a row in the Garden to which the fans didn't take klndlv. Two weeks ago, Allie Stolz tangled with Sammy Ang;tt for Sam my's lightweight crown, and Sammy took the deck-Ion to a chorus of boos. Last week, Tami Mauricllo got a draw with Bob Pajtor, although most folks thought Rapid Robert finished on top.
