EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
Memorial Scoreboard Benefit Fracas
To Be Wednesday at Senior High Gym
Members of Medford post of
the American lgion reported
preparations almost complete for
the basketball contests at 7:45
pm. Wednesday, March 28, at
the senior high school gymnas
ium." East and West side merchants
teams will vie in what is billed
as a hilarious preliminary. In
the regulation game Medford
high seniors and next year's pos
sible prep team will contend.
Entire proceeds from ticket
sales will be used to purchase an
electric scoreboard for the high
school football field. This board
will be a memorial to A. Z.
(Tubby) Dean, sports enthusiast,
who was working on the project
at the time of his death.
127 Buy Blocks
A total of 127 business and
professional men purchased
blocks of tickets to enable the
Legion to order the scoreboard
at once. Merchants in turn are
selling these tickets to the pub
lic at SI each. Each person buy
ing a ticket will have his name
written in a book which will be
sealed in a copper box. The box
will be placed in the corner
stone for the scoreboard.
Legionnaires said they know
there are many people in Med
ford and vicinity - who were
friends of Dean and appreciate
the work he did for young peo
ple. It is hoped that 1,300 of
these people will purchase the
tickets. The Legion committee
stated that fans should get their
tickets immediately since they
must be bought well ahead of
the games if their names are to
go into the book. Many mer
chants in the downtown area
hae the ducats.
Ceremonies for sealing the
book in the box will take place
at halftime with Mayor Diamond
Flynn in charge.
Considerable feeling reported
ly has developed concerning the
prep fracas with both clubs
pointing for the contest.
Among those playing for the
seniors will be Dennis Conner,
Don Spinas, Derald Wooton, Jack
Boardman, Justin Smith, Nick
Smith and Earl Covey. On the
other crew the squad wil include
Roland Thompson, Dick Atter
bury, Ed Bingham, Ned and Ted
Landers, Dick Wooton and Bob
Christian.
Merchants Training
West and east side merchants'
clubs have been training fur
iously for their short fracas and
each team is said to have some
surprises in store. Although the
fray is a prelim, it is being
rated at a "don't miss" attrac
tion. Dick Finch of Home Ap
pliance, Bob Rector of Medford
Furniture and Dave Kublik of
the Toy House reportedly have
worked hard to round up a
strong east side crew and have
about twenty, players. Mac Mc-

Manager Dressen on Spot
At Brooklyn But Confident
Dodgers Will Cop Pennant
By LEO H. PETERSEN
Miami (U.R) Chuck Dressen
is on the spot, as manager of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, but he is con
fident his club will win the Na
tional league pennant. If it
doesn't, Dressen knows he prob
ably will be looking for a new
job next October.
Most baseball men feel the
Dodgers will win despite its lack
of championship pitching. In all
other departments it is the
soundest club in the major
leagues.
It has speed, power, brilliant
defense and everything else it
takes to win. But that wasn't
enough last year and it might
not be enough this coming sea
son unless Dressen cones up with
new hurling strength.
Not Worried
"Everybody seems, to feel I
don't have the pitching, but let
me tell you I am not at all wor
ried about it," Dressen said.
"Naturally it hurts when you
lose a 20-game winner like Don
Newcombe, but I have a lot of
good prospects. Maybe none of
them will win 20 but if I can
come up with a couple who can
win from 12 to 15 games each
we'll be better than all right so
far as pitching is concerned."
He named aging Preacher
Roe, who won 22 and lost only
three last season; Ralph Branca,
the 13-game winner who served
up the home run ball to Bobby
Thomson which gave the Giants
Cormick of the Big Y market is
coach and believes his club will
win in a breeze.
Gene Orr of Weeks and Orr
Furniture and Hugh Williams of
Dean's service, managers, and
Groceteria Bill Gates, coach, plan
to field a lively aggregation from
the west side. Gates has been
taking his team on a five mile
run every day but he has been
the only one to go the full dis
tance. He drives his car.
Where Tickets 'Available
Among downtown stores
where tickets may be obtained
are The Patio, Adriennes, The
Toy Shop, Lantis and Wilsons,
Western Thrift, Burelson's and
Hadleys.
Other places with tickets are
Jack Sides Richfield station,
Stephenson Lumber company,
Beck's bakery. Timber Products,
OK Rubber Welders, Big Y mar

AMERICA'S SMARTEST "HARD-TOP
Most
new
Tuesday. March S3, IMS
the pennant in a playoff: Carl
Erskine, with a record of 16 and
12; Clem Labine, who hurled
five victories and lost only one
game after being called up in
mid-season from St. Paul and
promising Chris Van Cuyk, an
11-game winner at Montreal, as
his starting pitchers with Clyde
King, who won 14 last season, as
the No. 1 relief man.
"The other four spots are wide
open and it really is going to be
a problem to select them," Dres
sen said. "I probably won't de
cide until opening day. Even
then I'll carry a half dozen or
so until it comes time to cut
down the roster to 26 players."
Can Carry 26
The Dodgers can carry 26 this
season,, even though the usual
number is 25, if they keep
pitcher Bill Loes. Loes was in
the service last season and thus
does not count in 'the player
limit.
Loes is one of a half dozen
leading candidates for those four
other pitching spots.
The others include .John
Podres. the vouns southpaw for
whom the Cleveland Indians of
fered $250,000; Joe Black,
who the Dodger front office
believes will develop into an
other Newcombe; southpaw
Johnny Schmitz, who seems to
have lost the stuff which made
him one of the best in the league
during his hey-day with the
Cubs; and Phil Haugstad and
Clarence Podbielan, both of
whom were with the team all
last season but showed little.
In all other departments the
club is set with an infield of Gil
Hodges at first, Jackie Robinson
at second, Captain Pee Wee
Reese at short and Billy Cox at
third. The outfield shows Carl
Furillo, Duke Snider and Andy
Pafko. Roy Campanella, rated
the best catcher in the league,
will be behind the plate.
Williams Reported Set
As Giant Second Bagger
Phoenix W.ra it s omciai
from Manager Leo Durocher
23-vear-old Davev Williams is
the successor to Eddie Stanky as
the New York Giants second
baseman.
He'll open in Stanky 's old job
and "there's nobodv close to
him," Durocher said. "I believe
he'll hit .260 and if he does
that'll be enough."
Williams, a $65,000 purchase
from Atlanta in 1948. played in
30 games for the Giants last
season and did not commit an
error. He hit .266 and batted
safely in eight straight games
during one stretcn.

Boxing Pact
Bans Aimed
At Hoodlums
Chicago (U.R) A joint cam
paign to drive "hoodlums out
of boxing was expected Tuesday
to result from an agreement be
tween the Illinois and New York
boxing commissions.
Chairman Robert Christen-
berry of New York signed the
pact with the Illinois commission
Monday. It provided for "mutual
recognition of . . . penalties" and
contracts, but set up the "right
of review" for each commission.
Both Christenberry and Chair
man Joseph Triner of the Illinois
commission called conclusion of
the pact an "historic thing in
boxing.
"It's a move in the right direo
tion," Christenberry said. "If we
don't clean up boxing, we can
look for federal regulation, and
there's enough of that in other
things now.
"If we have an honest desire
on the part of the commissioners.
it will be a simple matter to
eliminate bad practices.
"There are only a small minor
ity violating the rules," Triner
said, "but they should be driven
out of the game.
OSC Schedules
Duck Gridders
For Portland
Corvallis (U.PJ Athletic Di
rector Roy Spec Keene said
Tuesday that Oregon State col
lege would shift its traditional
football game with University of
Oregon next November 22 from
antiquated Bell field here to
Portland's Multnomah stadium.
Keene said OSC's intercolle
giate athletic board decided on
the move because of the expense
required to put Bell field in
shape for approval of insurance
underwriters and because more
alumni and fans would be able
to see the "big game" between
the cross-state rivals.
The Beavers already have
three games scheduled for Port
land, including Michigan State.
Washington and Southern Cali
fornia. Their only home game at
tfeii field next fall will be a
nomecoming contest November
15 against Idaho. '

Golf Playoff
Forfeited by
Sammy Snead
Aiken. S. C. (U.B Sammy
Snead and Doug Ford will be
among the field competing here
Tuesday in the Aiken one-day,
pro-amateur golf tournament, ln
stead of battling each' other in
a playoff in Jacksonville, fla.
Veteran Snead of Whit Sul
phur Springs. W, Va., and dark
horse Ford of Harrison. N. Y..
were tied at the end of the
fourth round of the Jacksonville
open Monday with cards of 280
for 72 holes. And officials an
nounced they would play off for
the crown Tuesday. .
But then Snead announced he
would forfeit the playoff be
cause he felt fans would think, if
he won. that he won unfairly.
The veteran slammer's action
stemmed from a penalty-stroke
dispute that occurred in the sec
ond round of the open last Sat
urday a dispute that was ruled
in his favor. Snead apparently
felt that many folks disagreed
with the ruling and would hold
it against him should he beat
Ford in a playoff.
When Sammy bowed out. the
action gave young Ford the first
major win of his pro career and
a $2,000 first prize. Snead re
ceived a $1,400 prize for second
place.

Indians to Win
Palo Alto, Cal. (U.R) Univer
sity of Oregon's baseball road
trip into California struck a snag
here Monday when Stanford'
Indians walloped the Oregon
ians, 15-4.
And it was an ex-Oregonian,
Joe Chez of Medford, who block
ed the Webfoots' initial start
with a four-hit performance on
the mound for Stanford in the
first five innings.
Stan Aune. who started for
Oregon, was touched for, five
runs in the first inning and gave
way to Don Siegmund in the
second inning. The game was
called at the end of eight stanzas
by mutual consent
NEWHOUSER HAS TROUBLE
Lakeland, Fla. (U.R) The
odds still appeared to be against
Hal Newhouser in his bid for a
comeback with the Detroit Tig
ers Tuesday. The once-brilliant
left-hander, who was out of ac
tion most of last season, was
hammered for four runs in five
innings as the Cincinnati Reds
walloped the Tigers, 7-0 Mon
