Medford Cinder Crew
Drubs Klamath Falls
Launching its season in im
pressive style, the Medford high
track and field team thundered
over Klamath Falls 94V4 to 2734
here yesterday afternoon.
The Black Tornado was In
front all the way, taking first
places in all but one event and
weeping all three places in lour
of the races. Barry Pitts with
a strong finish salvaged the only
Klamath blue ribon by captur
ing the mile event.
Medford scored the sweeps In
the 100, 220 and 330-yard dashes
and the low hurdles. Because of
the early stage of the season
and the cool day times were
generally slow in the track
events. However, Earl Covey
sprinted the 220 in :22.8, good
for this early in the campaign.
Ed Bingham was Medford's
top performer in the field con
tests with three first places. He
won the high jump with a great
leap of 6 feet and 1V4 inches,
Vi-inch under the school record
set by Coach Bob Newland when
he was competing for the Black
Tornado. Bingham also copped
the discus and the javelin.

Triple Play in

Hamrick.
Two on Second

Grace and Noren both occupy
ing second base and threw to
third baseman Jack Baumer,
who relayed to shortstop Len
Ratto who returned the ball to
Baumer in time to catch Grace.
Two outs.
At this point, Noren, who had
returned to first base, attempted
to reach second and was tagged

Fighting Chance Seen
For Cincinnati Reds
By LEO H. PETERSEN
Tampa, Fla. (U.R) Luke
Sewell s task with the Cincin
nati Reds looks hopeless so far
as the 1952 season is concerned.
but despite his thin line of estab
lished major leaguers he believes
his club has a fighting chance
for a frst division finish.
He based his belief on the
fact that he has added power to
his club with the acquisition of
catcher Andy Seminick and out
fielder Dick Sisler in the big
deal with the Phillies.
"I know I'm going to have
the best catching I've had in my
three years as manager of the
Reds," Sewell, a former star
catcher himself, said. "And Andy
will hit the long ball for you,
too. Discount the bad year he
had last season. He never could
get started."
Batting Problem
Batting power has been Se-
well's problem now for three
springs He has good pitching,
fair defense and speed, but too
few hitters who can rattle the
fences.
Adding the bats of Seminick
and Sisler to those of first base
man Ted Kluszewski and out
fielders John Wyrostek and Joe
Adcock, Sewell hopes the club
will be able to go out and get
bis pitchers a few runs.
"We've nevec. been able to do
that before," he recalled.
Bench Strengthened
Sewell also figures that he has
strengthened his bench for if
outfielders Bob Borkowski, Hank
Edwards and rookie Wally Post
cannot win regular jobs they
will be available for pinch-hit-ting
duty.
Right now the Reds skipper is
experimenting with Borkowski,
obtained from the Cubs, and
rookie Post, who hit .308 at
Buffalo, in center and Wyrostek
in right and Sisler and Adcock
alternating in left. Sisler plays
when right handers are pitching
against the Reds and Adcock
when the opposing moundsmen
are southpaws.
The Cincinnati Infield is a
light hitting one outside of big
Kluszewski at first, and he
slumped off to .239 last season.
v. .
Sewell has been experimenting
with Grady Hatton, who never
has lived up to his rookie year
promise at second, with the vet
eran, but brittle, Bobby Adams
at third. At short it will be
either Virgil Stallcup or Roy
McMillan. The latter can field
with the best of them' but is a
decided liability at the plate.
Homer Howell will be the first
catcher back of Seminick with
three rookies, Hank Foils, Ho-
bert Landrith and Joe Rossi
battling for the other berth. It
probably will go to Landrith de
spite his .188 batting average at
Buffalo last season.
Ewell the Whip Blackwell,
Herman Wehmeier, Ken Raf-
fensberger and Frank Hiller are
the only hurlers in camp who
have won starting assignments
with Frank Smith, who started
out so brilliantly last season but
wound up with a 5-5 record, the
No. 1 bullpen artist.
Three hold-overs Bud By
erly, Ed Erautt and Harry Per
kowski all have a chance to get
into the starting rotation.
