. TWO MEDFORD MAIL THIBUNE BY CLOSE MARGIN Game Goes for Three Extra Innings; Littrell Parts Downs Ordnance Shop. Camp White extended its lead in the city Softball league Friday night by taking 6 to 5 victory over lowly State Guard in 10 in nings. The game was tied up at 5-5 at end of the seventh and not until the tenth could the soldiers put over the winning tally. Littrell Parts took a 15 to l'l win over Ordnance Shop in the other half of the double header. Camp White loaned State Guard three players because the Guard roster was short and al most lost the game through their generosity. The Guardsmen had a big inning in the sixth when Schwartkoff, who hit safely three times out of three turns at the plate, slammed out a home run with runners on first and third. Cullimore got a double with the bases loaded for the soldiers in the sixth. The Army's winning run came when Lasater doubled to score Hafey, who previously bad walked. Whipp, borrowed from Camp White to do the pitching, struck out 17 and walked one. Smith, for the Army fanned four and walked four while Mahr, Army relief hurler, whiffed two and passed five. The Littrell Ordnance game -was close all the way, being tied In the second and fifth innings. Earl Stella got a home run, sin gle, triple and reached base on an error out of four times at bat.

Mayer's sturdy six-year-old, rewarded a screaming crowd of 55,000 today by galloping to victory In the $100,000 Santa Anita handicap by a head. Thumbs Up tied Sea Biscuit's record for the mile and a quar ter at 2:01 13. Texas Sand man was second, and Gay Dalton, the Mexican champion, thrilled the crowd by coming from last to finish third. Jockey Johnny Longden brought the even-odds favorite up fast, running second to Stronghold as the 13 horse field rounded the first turn. Longden had the son of Blen heim II and Gas Bag well In hand as they passed the half way mark. Thumbs Up dropped back as Texas Sandman and Lou-Bre, Charles S. Howard's bid for a third hundred grand winner, set the pace. Thumbs Up, with Longden starting to use the whip,' moved back into competition on the far turn and took the lead as they hit the stretch. At this point, Gay Dalton, the Cinderella horse, who had been a disappointment in two pre vious appearances here, made his move and the crowd took up the roar as the five-year-old from south of the border started eating up ground. The gay one moved up between horses, but Thumbs Up, speeding past Texas Sandman, held his lead and won going away. Gay Dalton didn't have enough left to overtake the second place horse.

June 30 U.R) Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves continued his one-man batting show today when he col lected a home run, triple and single as the Braves beat the St, Louis Cards, 8 to 4. It was the 26th straight game In which the Brooklyn-born Brave outfielder has hit safely, and his three hits in three times up in which he drove four runs home lifted his batting average to .393, some 30 percentage points above his closest compe tition. However, Holmes had to be spectacular today to wrest hon ors from teammate Wietelmann, who cracked out a three-run homer. Hy Vandenberg was wild but effective . in the clutch as he pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 5 to 3. decision over the New York Giants. He allowed only five hits, but passed six Giants on walks and hit two batsmen. His control returned with men on base' and 11 Giants were stranded. A three-run fifth in ning won the game for Chicago. Ben Chapman's debut as man ager of the Philadelphia Phillies was not a gala event from the Philly point of view, although the Cincinnati Reds enjoyed it hugely. The Reds thumoed Schanz and Barrett for nine runs in the seventh inning and went on to a 13 to 5 victory. Pittsburgh plays at Brooklyn tonight. The entire American league was scheduled for twi. light and night games. RACING New York.
