Cards Show
Ability Come
From Behind
New York, May 2 (U.R) The
wonder of the St. Louis Cardin
als is that they quit at the
darndest times and don't quit
at the darndest times. 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.
Lead Cut Down
That pinch-hitler came when
Brooklyn's lead had been cut to
2 to 1. Two men were out in
the last of the ninth. Enos
Slaughter was on second base
and Red Schnendienst on first.
Cardinal Manager Eddie Dyer
rushed in Bill Howerton to bat
for Rice. He rapped a single
which scored Slaughter with the
tying run and moved Schoendi
e'nst to third.
Still the game was not won,
but Willie Ramsdell who re
lieved Joe Hatten when Hower
ton came up. let fly a wild pitch
and Schoendienst scampered in
with the winning run.

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

nesday at 3 p.m. when the Tor

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
