The baseball wheel of fortune rarely has played a crueler prank than in stopping the stout hearted Oklahoman in the midst of one of the greatest comebacks of the diamond. Benton was an inspiration to every G. I. ball player who hopes someday him self to return to making a living on the diamond. Hit By Ball It was In the fourth Inning yesterday when fate struck Its blow. Benton was pitching against the Athletics and had' a 2 to 1 lead when Estellela hit a low but sharp line drive which struck his right leg above the ankle. What happened after Benton left the game, illustrated how sorely he is needed. Relief Pitcher Mueller was hammered for four runs in the next Inning and Philadelphia won, 7 to 2, although the game was played under protest because the A's batted out of order in the second and Umpire Rommel ruled the side retired with only two out. Both managers protested. Indians Win The Cleveland Indians put over a 10th inning run to beat the Senators in a night game at Washington, 1 to 0. The usually light-hitting Bud Metheny made a double and two singles to account for three runs as the Yankees topped the lead ing Chicago White Sox at New York for the second day in a row, 6 to 3. The Red Sox bested the St. Louis Browns at Boston for the second day, winning, 8 to 6, with a 14-hit attack on three pitchers. In the National, Pinch Hitter Danny Gardella hit a two-run homer in the eighth to give the New York Giants a 7 to 6 victory over the Reds at Cincinnati. Dick Barrett of the Philadel phia Phils ended the three-game winning streak of the Cubs at Chicago, 6 to 3, beating Veteran Paul Derringer with a five-hit pitching job. A homer by John Barrett in the 11th gave the Pirates a 10 to 9 edge over the Braves at Pitts burgh. Charley Barrett, who came to the Cards yesterday in a trade for Morton Cooper, got off to a winning start with his new own ers, beating the Brooklyn Dodg ers, 7 to 5, with plenty of hitting support. NO DELAY FOR FACTORY METHOD RECAPPING, 1 FIRESTONE STOSIES 214 So. Riverside Phone 4757 CRATERS TO PLAY The Medford Craters will meet Butte Falls, weather per mitting, at the Fairgrounds park Sunday afternoon, beginning at 2:30, Manager Paul Freer said today. Freer said Butte Falls' baseball uniforms had not yet arrived but they agreed to go through with the practice game anyway. There will be no ad mission charge. Weather has hampered the Loggers' practice sessions but since the Southern Oregon league starts a week from Sun day Butte Falls accepted the practice date. Freer said big George Barr, who held Central Point to one hit in five innings last Sunday, will probably start on the mound for Medford, with Dick Kldwell and Harold Lang in reserve. The same lineup which played against Central Point last Sun day will probably start. George Gitzen will catch, Homer Sulli van will be on first, Freddie Stammen at second, Lang at third, Jim Cave at shortstop and in the outfield will be Harold Burnham, Dick Fawcett and Ray Davidoff. COAST FAVORITES WAGNER DEFEATS BY LESSER CLUBS Br United Press Results In the Pacific Coast league last night were enough to unbalance the minds of the circuit's followers. The basement-dwelling Holly wood Stars took their second straight win over Sacramento, 7 to 6, while the seventh-place San Francisco Seals trampled on the leading Portland Beavers twice, 5-0 and 4-1. The Seattle Rainiers cut Port land's margin to two games by making it three in a row over Los Angeles, 9-2, and the Oak land Acorns whipped San Diego, 5-3. Neat pitching performances by Frank Seward and Elmer Orella were responsible for San Fran cisco's victories. Seward spaced out five hits in the opener and Orella turned in a seven-hit job in the nightcap. Walks Aid Twlnks Hollywood tallied its winning runs against Sacramento in the sixth inning on two walks, a sin gle by Les Powers and a double off the bat of Ken Richardson. Southpaw Italo Chelini finally shook off his various arm ail ments to beat San Diego for Oak land. Chelini allowed 11 hits but couldn't be hit in the clutches. Los Angeles, usually one of the steadiest fielding teams In the league, came apart at the seams against Seattle. The An gels committed three errors in the fifth inning to add to Charlie Cuellar's mound misery. Scores: San Francisco 5 5 1 Portland 0 5 1 - Seward and Sprinz; Mooty, Carr and Souza, Peterson.

Sport Chips BY I 0K Harry Chipman Mail Tribune Sports Editor drs.w is at its best f&r HER$y when it's Fishing season at Diamond Lake opens Wednesday with the road from the Medford side ex pected to be open in a few days, The deepest snow measuring 14 inches deep lies in a seven-mile stretch along the summit and rotary plows are working on it. The roads to the lake from Klamath Falls and Roseburg are open, however. George Howard reports that all boats and cottages are reserved from Wednesday through June 3. A few smal ler boats and some hotel re servations may still be had. Howard says. The restaurant will be open. The water in Rogue river is far too high for good fishing, says Al Piche who gathers week ly information for this column. Reports from the checking sta tion at Gold Ray says hundreds of salmon have gone over the dam and when water drops fish ing will be at its best. Three salmon were taken from Gold Ray Wednesday on spinners. Little Butte is too high and muddy for fishing while Big Butte will be good li the water drops. It is now right color for eggs. From Medford south io Talent, Bear Creek is said to furnish good angling with worn.f getting best results. Also a spinner with fly attach ed has been successful. Fish Lake has been spotty all week and the last six miles of the road is rutted with many chuck holes. The road to Hiatt Lake is passable with chains and bass, crappy and catfishing reported good. With continued rains, Pros pect and Emigrant Dams should be good angling spots. GRADUATION CARDS Send cards of congratula tion to your friends who art graduating this year. SWEM'S Book and Gift Shop! "Gorgeous" George Wagner turned loose with everything but wrestling holds last night at Medford armory to win a two- out-of-three fall decision from Paavo Katonen In the main event of the weekly mat card. Wagner got the first tumble in the second round with a leg hold and Katonen knotted the score in the third with a clever should er press. While both men were tied up In the ropes, Referee Earl Yoakley went between them to break the hold and in doing so dumped Katonen on the back of his head, dazing him. Wagner Jumped on him for the winning fall. Sailor Hogan, showing speed and skill seldom seen In the armory ring, lost to "Sneeze" Achieu when he missed a son nenburg and fell from the ring, landing on his shoulder. He fell victim to hammerlocks in the third and fourth rounds. Kenny Ackles took a lone fall decision over Antone Leone on a foul in the opener. Leone's brand of dirty tricks was too much for the referee to stand and he stopped the bout. Washington, May 25 (U.R) "The drought's over," the liquor industry declared today. The occasion for their pro-. nouncement was, of course, the War Production board's an nouncement that they could make spirituous liquors during the month of July. Not only that. The WPB said the supply of war alcohol indi cated the industry would get other go-aheads "from time to time." This, an industry spokesman said, means that from now on the industry will try to meet consumer demand. Given the nod by the WPB, distilled spirits which will turn up as gin, rum, whiskey and cordials will start pouring from spigots July 1. The July go-ahead probably will have an immediate effect on retail liquor stores. With of ficial assurance that more whis key will be made, wholesalers are releasing their aged stocks for consumer sale without wait ing for the new supplies to come from the distilleries.

Howard L. Vickery, vice chairman of the U. S. Maritime commission, "The damnedest bunch of slackers." "These birds who are leaving are holding up the ships and making it necessary for the rest of us to work harder and longer to finish the jobs," said Vickery, here today in the course of a tour of Pacific northwest ship yards. "These people who are leaving the yards now and going home are the damnedest bunch of slackers," he declared. "I feel strongly about this. We are in dire need of the ships being built here. If we didn't need them we would stop building them and save our money. IZVESfFLAYS BRITISH POLICY Moscow, May 25 (U.PJ Eugeni Zhukov, the newspaper Izvestia's correspondent at San Francisco, reported today that there were rumors in newspaper circles of a lack of unity in the American and British delega tions on the Crimean decisions. "Worrying rumors penetrate the press that British foreign policy may generally undergo a serious change. It is motivated by the fact that as long as Ger man bombs cease to fall on Lon don and the danger Is passed England, as after the First World War, 'traditionally' is seeking a new system for the political bal ance of Europe." Zhukov said rumors of the change in British policy shows clearly that the "system" can't have anything in common with the Crimean decision of interna tional security. Labor Board Quiz Opens Coming Week Washington, May 25 (U.PJ A special house committee will start an investigation next week into complaints that the Nation al Labor Relations board has ex ceeded its authority, it was dis closed today. Capt. John J. Windberry, le gal counsel for the Smith com mittee to Investigate executive agencies, said the hearings would start either Tuesday or Thursday. Although Windberry said the complaints covered "about 100 little things that have hap pened," Rep. John Phillips, R., Calif., said he had submitted evi dence to the committee dealing with NLRB's procedure In call ing elections among packing house workers in California. His evidence, he said, came from constituents in southern California who claimed NLRB virtually acted as an organizer for CIO unions. Hero Jake Lindsey Through With Army Lucedale. Miss..
