PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 9, 1942. BROOKLYN LOSES DISORDERLY GAME TO BOSTON. 2-1 r Boston, Aug 8 (IP) In a dis orderly game in which Pitchers Manny Salvo and Whit Wyatt threw what looked suspiciously like old fashioned "bean balls" time after time, the Braves nipped the Dodgers 2 to 0 today to chalk up their second win In a row over the league leaders. All hands, including the 5.484 customers, felt they were sitting on a powder keg most of the aft ernoon and on several occa sions the fuse was all lit and ready to go. As matter of fact, the umpires twice had to break up promising free-for-alls be tween the two clubs. Just as players were charging at each other with what could hardly be construed as friendly Inten tions for a get-together. Only two batsmen were hit but there were any number of "near misses." Wyatt brushed Salvo's uniform with one of his slants In the seventh Inning. In the eighth there was no doubt when one of Salvo's shoots plunked against Wyatt. The Dodger elbower was so peeved about 'Jt. he hurled his bat out toward the mound, but his aim wasn't as good as it usually Is, and the stick slid right out to shortstop. , As Wyatt walked to first. Sal vo strolled over to the first-base line. Manny's teammates, Slbby Sistl and Max West rushed over to Intercept him. The entire squads of both clubs poured out and milled around the infield until Umpires Lee Ballanfant, Al Barlick and Babe Plnelll re stored order. Slstl scored both the Braves' runs. Brooklyn . 0 8 0 Boston . ...... S 8 1 Wyatt and Owen; Salvo and Lombard!. TITLE Toronto, Aug. 8. (IP) Craig Wood, United States open cham pion, won the Canadian open golf title today by shooting a par 72 in the final round for a 72-hole score of 273 13 strokes under par for the distance.

The new champion fired a 86 over the Mississauga club course in the first round Thursday and then came back with a 69 on Friday. The veteran Mnmaroneck, N Y., pro finished four strokes in front of Mike Turnesa, White Plains, N. Y., who soared from deep in the ruck today with a spectacular 63.

Aug. 8 (P) Aft er losing their last two games on the road, the Yankees came back to their own ballyard today and made themselves right at home with a three-home-run attack that easily trounced the Phila delphia Athletics 8 to 4. Connie Mack threw his ace. Phil Marchildon, at the Yanks and the bombers proceeded to trump him In a hurry. Charley Keller clouted his 17th homer of the year with two aboard in the first Inning; Bill Dickey whacked his first of the cam paign with one on In the third and Buddy Hassett belted his fourth with a mate waiting In the sixth. With these seven runs coming on homers, it was no trick at all for the Yanks to hand Marchildon his ninth loss of the year against 13 victories and break his five-game winning streak.

The tanned, husky Smith fin ishrd 20 feet In front of his buddy, Keo Nakama of Ohio State, and left the rest of the field far out of the picture.

GIVEN 'BRUSH-OFF' Salem, Ore., Aug. 8 (Pi "Big Luke' Crosswhite, the Ore gon penitentiary lifer with the smoke ball, was knocked off the professional baseball ladder to day before he got a chance to start climbing. The towering, 30-year-old 200 pounder received the brush-off in quick succession from every one concerned except the Salem Senators of the Western Inftrna tional league who signed him Thursday as a pitcher. And by the time Judge W. G. B r a m h a m, commissioner of minor league baseball; Charles A. Sprague, Oregon's governor, and George Alexander, warden of the state prison, said their pieces, the Salem club had noth ing to offer. B ram ham telegraphed that Crosswhite "or any other con vict" could not be signed or played. The warden withdrew his per mission for "Big Luke" to pitch for Salem in a navy relief game Monday night "or any other game." The club had an nounced that Alexander would permit Crosswhite to take the mound for the Senators' home appearances. The governor said Crosswhite. convicted of slaying a state po liceman 10 years ago, should "not be exploited as a perman ent pitcher for Salem or any other nine." That left "Big Luke" right back where he was before Thursday the star pitcher for the Oregon penitentiarys Prison Greys. Seattle, Aug. 8 (IP) Blng Crosby was a busy young man today.

Southern Win mi CRATERS CLOSES The pace-setting Medford Cra ters close their 1942 Oregon California league home schedule against the Grants Pass Mer chants at the fairgrounds park here this afternoon at 2:30. Manager Dutch Lleber's crew will end their loop season in a two-game series at Klamath Falls next week-end. The other circuit clash pits the second-place Pelicans against Dorrls' tough Lumberjacks at Dorris. Opening games in the two series' were played last night. Manager Lleber was undecid ed last night who he would send against Grants Pass, but young Al Wimer. the University of Oregon southpaw, seemed the likely candidate for Crater hurl ing chores. Wimer beat the Mer chants early In the season with a nifty performance, but in later trips to the mound displayed considerable wildness. He has been working out steadily and believes he has overcome that weakness. The Craters, who have cap tured 16 and lost four games to build up a two-tilt lead over Klamath, not counting games of last night, are expected to line up with Norm Worthley catch ing, Lieber on first, Johnny Gitzen on second, Don Fawcett on short, Harold Lange on third, Vic Waite in left, Al Wray in center and either Paul Hoffard or Glen Swanson in right.

The ex-beanDlcker, Manuel Ortiz, lifted the bantamweight bauble off the weary brow of Lou Salica of New York Friday night in a 12-round match that keot 6.000 fans alternately ex cited and bored. The El Centro lad won going away, as they say around the horse narks, but the game little New Yorker, a veteran of mora than 10 years in the prize ring, ave his best when he knew from the outset that his crown was sliooing awav from him. He tried to fight in close and got whioped. He stood off and let fly from long range, and the long-armed Mexican boy slanped him across the ring. It was revenge for Ortiz. Sal ica outpointed him In 1939, two vears after Ortiz, winner of the National Golden Gloves title at Boston as a flyweight, had emerged from the amateur ranks. Salica earned his guarantee of $6,000. Ortiz got $250. The card netted $17,298, and some $10, 000 will be turned over to buy athletic .equipment for army camps in this region.
