6IX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Friday June 23, 1944 SfigJfCTS FIVE FRAMES OF BELCASTRO WITH Feat To Go Unrecorded Be' cause of Rule Whit Wyatt Wins for Brooklyn. New York, Juno 23 (U.R) Jim Tobin, the Boston Braves nothing ball and no-hit artist, today had pitcnea nis secona no hit eame of the season but no preparations were being made to enter the leat m me record boolrs. Darkness deprived Toblu ot a chance to take his place along side Johnny Vander Meer as the only other pitcher In , modern baseball history to hurl two no- hit games in one season. Only a very few have pitched two in their cireers. Following yesterday's first game in which Ron Northey clouted a 15th Inning home run to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 1-0 triumph ov.-r the Braves, Tokin took the mound and pitch ed five hitless innings before the game was called. According to baseball's rules, if the home tipra is ahead, four and a half Innings constitute a game in the event the umpire deem: it neces sary to call the contest. Thus, Tobin did hurl a no-hit game, but the record books enter only those who pitched nine or more innings. The Braves, with hom ers by Tommy Holmes and Butch Nleman, won the nlght eap 5-0. Whit Wyatt, who doesn't be lieve the season starts until mid summer, held his own opening day at Ebbetts field and pitched the Brooklyn Dodgers to an easy 10-3 victory over the New York Giants. Reds Lose Pair The Pittsburgh Pirates un leashed a 26-hit attack that brought them from behind to victory in both ends of a double header with the Cinclnnat' Reds and strengthened their hold on second place. Rip Sewell spotted the Reds three runs- in the first inning of the opener and then checked them for the rest of the day to win 8-4. Five runs in the sixth inning of the nightcap overcame a 4-1 deficit and al lowed the Bucs to go on to a 7-4 decision. St. Louis at Chicago in the National league was rained out. The tight American league race got tighter as the leading Si. Louis Browns took a 10-3 shellacking from the Chicago White Sox. The -econd place Boston Red Sox split with the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston taking the first game, 5-4 in 13 innings when Mike Ryba doubled and came home on Pete Fox's single to win his own game. In the after piece Bob Estalella hit in the ninth inning scored the margin al tally for the A's 3-2 edge. The Washington Senators bow eu to the New York Yankees, Bill Zuber holding the Nats to four scattered hits for a 4-0 Yan kee victory. The Detroit Tigers edged the Cleveland Indians, 4-3. FAMOUS SCOUT DIES New York, June 23. (U.PJ Baseball lost a colorful figure today in the death of Larry Sut ton, for a quarter of a century a scout for the Brooklyn Dodg ers. Sutton, who would have been 86 years old on July 1, died last night at his home almost in the shadow of Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. Walter "Sneeze" Achiu scored his second straight grappling victory in the Medford armory last nljht, employing his pet Jiu-jitsu neck-paralyze- to take the third and deciding fall from Pet- Belcastro in a wild main e ent that sent the big crowd home talking to itself. The husky Chinese workman in'oashed a treme..dms sonnen berg that carried Belcastro half across the ring to R in the first tumble of tin match. Pete v. so s'- ned 'hat he was easy prey for a body press. The ' Hal'- however, came back a short time later to even the score. He c-it loose with his usual brand of dirt, featuring p-.-.nches to the head and knees to the groin, and after flooring Achiu with a right hook r his she " a ' ' mat. Up to this point Achiu had refrained, to some extent, from retaliating when Belcastro kept pouring on the brutality. But, with the falls standing one apiece, the Oriental decided to put an end to the affair. He ! stood p and slugged with Bel castro and the latter couldn t take it. Down he went, and chiu, seizing his hance, ap plied his thu bs to the n-rve cent s of Pete's neck. A few seconds of th!i treat ent and Bt'Icasro was all thr i. He c".d't awaken " . minutes after thj match was -'1 over. 'Gorgeous George" Wagner, never more crazy-acting, took two out of three falls from Buck Davidson in the middle event. Hi followed this up by raving and ranting at the crowd over the loud-speaker and challeng ing Achiu to a rematch from their sensational tussle of last week. Davidson got his fall in the first round' with a reverse body press, but Wagner, in the third, made Buck holler "when" for a fall, and wound up the match in the fourth heat with a shoulder press after they had battered each other from pillar to post. Wagner was still in the ring screaming at the customers when Achiu appeared for the main event. Wagner immediate ly collared him and demanded a rematch, all the time making it known that he doubted Achiu's Intestinal fortitude. Finally, he grabbed the micro phone again and declared he would put up $300 In war bonds It Achiu would do the same, with the winner of the rematch to take the pot. Achiu, while not actually accepting the challenge acted like he would be more than glad to accommodate the gla...orous boy. This return go is a possibility for next week. Jack Lipscomb employed his self-strangle hold to take the line fall in his opening-event match with Billy McEuln. The fall occurred In the third and final round. Between the second and third heats Lipscomb be came embroiled in a slugging match with Referee Earl Yoak ley and they had quite a party until McEuin shoved Yoakley aside and took over the scrap. s Walters Best Bet To Pitch For Nats In All-Star Game By Jack Cuddy United Press- Staff Correspondent New York, June 23. (U.PJ The almost certain and in all prob ability unanimous selection of William "Bucky" Walters for this year's all-star game gives what we think is a definite advantage to the National league. Walters, ace right-hander of the Cincinnati Reds, is unques tionably the best night pitcher in baseball and if he is Manager Billy Southworth's choice to start for the senior circuit, and his record indicates that he will be, the American league bats men will do well to eat a lot of carrots between now and July 11 the date of the game. Car rots are supposed to, perk up your blinkers in the dark. Over the past two years, Walters has been practically un beatable under the arcs. He puts a hop on the ball which seems to escape vision in the night games and batters find his de livery exceptionally tough to master. Walters got off to a bad start last year and after recovering from an ankle Injury which he suffered in spring training, the night games were in progress and he started to shine. The ma jority of the 15 games he won last year were after-dark victories. This year, he has been effect ive In both night and day games, but unbeatable at night. His rec ord 'shows 11 victories against only three defeats and Included in the wins were four shutouts. His last time out he whitewash ed the Pittsburgh Pirates, under the lights at Crosley field, with two scratch hits. At his current pace Walters will break his previous high for a season which he established in 1939 with 27 victories. Bucky Is a managers' pitcher. His fielding is nearly flawless and in addition he is a splendid hitter, frequently winning his own ball games with base blows. He seldom needs relief and Ir the 13 games he has started this sea son Cincinnati Manager Bill Mc- Kechnie has had to send in help only on one occasion. Chicago, June 23 (U.PJ It's a great year for underdogs at least two of whom go Into semi- final competition at the women's western open golf tournament to day after scoring one major and one minor upset over quarter final favorites yesterday. The chief upsetter was Betty Jane Haemerle, 18-year-old St. Louis girl, who posed a stymie that Lt. Patty Berg couldn't cope with on the 19th green after the match had gone into a playoff. In the class of minor upsets was the victory of Jeanne Cline, Blommington, 111., former west ern junior champion, over Phyl lis Otto, Omaha, 3 and 2. Miss Cline took a birdie-2 on the par 3 5th but was 1-down at the turn. She won the 10th, 11th,' 13th and 15th while Miss Otto was unable to win another hole.

Is Question Of Red Cross Women "Have you made your 25 to day?" This slogan-question Is becom ing the pass-word of Jackson county women Interested in the Important task of meeting the county Red Cross chapter quota on surgical dressings. Mrs. Gus Newbury, surgical dressing chairman, thought up the little slogan because if 100 women would make but 25 dressings each day that the local work room is open, and 100 would re port In the outlying districts, the county quota would be easily met. Mrs. Newbury points out that the workers average 25 dressings an hour, which means that if 100 women reported, each would only have to work an hour. The county quota averages about 75, 000 dressings a month. Last Tuesday was a record day for the workroom, with Dse Mall Tribune Want Ads.

(U.R) When Apprentice Hubert Stan ley Jones broke the world's rec ord for winning mounts In a sin gle day of racing recently by guiding eight horses to the wire first at the Agua Caliente truck, south of the border in Old Mex ico, the feat may have been a symbol of the return to turf eminence of the red and white silks of C. S. (Seablscult) How ard, Jones' contract employer. Turf history records nothing to parallel Jones' feat, the closest approach to it being the seven winners ridden by Jockey J. Sylvester at Ravenna Park, Ohio, Oct. IB, 1930. Apprentice Willie Turnbull duplicated the trick 12 years later at Rocking ham Park, N. H., July 31, 1942. Olnaini tlma for ClaMtftal ad. a. m.
