I Last season the Cards col lapsed with five defeats in a row in the last week of last season. Last night it was the reverse. Trailing 2 to 0 going into the last inning, they came through with a 3 to 2 victory over the Dodgers. Defeat was handed Brooklyn by a pinch hitter and a wild pitch.

PHONE 2-6189 M I'Your Host' Favored In Big Derby Louisville, Ky., May 2 'U.R) Eleven Kentucky Derby eligibles go to the post today for the 13th running of the derby trial at Churchill Downs, and the win ner of the one-mile test will be unlucky enough to match strides with the favored Your Host in Saturday's run for the roses. This final prep for America s premier horse race put the pres sure on Calumet's Theory and King Ranch's Middleground, two likely candidates for the blanket of- American Beauties when the band plays "My Old Kentucky Home" at Churchill Downs come Saturday afternoon. One-Horse Canter But what had been expected to be a "wide open race when they lay the $100,000 jackpot on the line on the big one rapidly was taking on the aspects of a one-horse canter. For Your Host, the crooked necked California comet, rap idly was moving toward the po sition of odds-on favorite as his own camp and almost every body else's named the William Goez speedster as the one to beat when the big blue chips are on the line. Today's race will prove little for they don't take too many chances with a good horse this close to the payoff. Tornado Vies Wednesday Medford high baseball team will continue its Southern Ore gon conference schedule Wed nesday at 3 p.m. when the Tor nado plays its traditional rival from Ashland on the local field. Late this morning it was still undecided whether today's slat ed game between the Tornado and Central Point on the CP. f'.id vnnld be played due to wet field. Meatord has a two-two record in conference baseball to date with victories over Eagle Point and losses to Grants Pass and Klamath Falls. Who would pitch for the local team tomorrow may depend on whether or not today's game will be played. However, the choice probably lies between Jack Turk and uennis Conner WITH tow-ftr the fa lime!
