Despite the drop of some 2.000 in major league baseball crowds, the New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox American league double-header at New York drew 73,728 paid admissions, the larg est Yankee stadium crowd dur ing the regular season since 1847, The game was televised.

Last night fists were again brandished In the turbulent loop s Marysville Catcher Dick Shaf er and Reno First Baseman El lis Daugherty mixed it up at home plate after Daugherty came sliding home. The Memorial day doublchead- was typical of the fighting spirit of all the teams in the circle. Reno, last place in the standings, took two games from the Marysville Braves 11 to 9 and 12 to 10.

Morris when President Leo Parker of Ihe Order of M at the school an nounced that the jersey worn by Jack Morris throughout his ath letic career at Medford high will be put on show in a case rather than on gome athlete's broad back. Star In 3 Sports The Order of M decided to con fer the honor on the popular Morris youth who has been out standing on the athletic field from the time he entered Med ford h gh. He has starred In foot ball, track and basketball and has several state records on tne cin der paths. He has been named on all Southern Oregon conference football and basketball teams for two years. For two seasons he often was co-captain or captain by himself in these sports. Jack Morris showed outstand ing ability in .ill tiiree sports from the time he entered as a sophomore. His sophomore year toward the end of the gridiron year Morris made local fang' and opponents' eyes bulge out with his running feats, lor instance. Team Man All Way Never a youth for monopoliz ing the limelight or the praise, the boy was a team man from the start, knowing that in any sport such as football and basket ball in particular, one needs a team to make the touchdowns or the baskets, not just one person who is a star. Many believe Jack Morris would have been an all-conference or better in baseball had he chosen that sport. Rules for Awarding A set of rules to govern fu ture "retiring'' of jersies andor numerals at Medford high has been dran up by a committee from the Order of M and these will be posted in the showcase along with the jersey used by Morris. Setting up the rules were Bob Shores, Parker and Ted Ruben stein of the club. Announcement of this action bv the Order of M was made Monday at an award assembly in the high school when U tters and other athletic achievement awards were presented.

Parsons Wins Indianapolis Indianapolis, Ind.. May 31 (U.R) The rain cheated Johnny Parsons of some S6.200, but the 31-vear-old menace of the mid gets still beamed a smile of vic tory today after his Iirst place finish in the abbreviated Memorial day Speedway auto mobile race. The rain snapped off the race at the 34.vinile point, al- though it is normally a aOu-milc tee.st of war and courage. Far sons was leading at the time and so he was declared the winner. But had the rain held off 9(1 more minutes then the lront running Parsons probably would have won anyway and had an extra S6.200 in lap money to go with the $31,500 he won any way. Parsons, heretofore noted in race driving circles for his speed in midget cars, was going away when the checkered finish flag was waved in front of him. And hardly one of the esti mated 175.000 spectators believ ed that either of his major rivals. 1949 winner Bill Holland, or triple winner Mauri Rose, could catch up in the final 62 laps.

Hill Prince, the current cham pion of the three-year-old divi sion, stepped out of his class yes terday and was beaten in the Suburban handicap at Belmont park. What's worse, he seemed to be bleeding at the nose fol lowing the race. But Hayes re fused to become alarmed. "He probably inhaled some dust or dirt," Hayes said, "and this caused him to cough.
