TWELVE MEDrOHD (OREGOH) MAIL TRIBTJITE Med ford Nine Beats Yreka 2-1; Crater High Plays Here Friday Aiming for its fourth consecu tive victory, the Medford high school baseball nine takes on Crater high on Friday. Game time at the senior high diamond here is 3:15 p.m. Lloyd Hart is scheduled to pitch for Medford. The Black Tornado made it three straight wins against no losses so far this season by de feating Yreka, Calif., 2 to 1 here yesterday. Locals Held Down Medford, handcuffed for 3 23 innings, broke out in the fourth and fifth frames for single runs. Tornado batters went down in order before Yreka pitcher Bud Russell in the first and second innings. In the third stanza, Terry Sherwood got a single but the next three stickmen were re tired. There were two out in the fourth before Medford got a man on base. Pitching by Medford's Derald Wooton was also tight. Although he walked four, he allowed only one hit and struck out 11 batters. The lone hit Wooton gave up and one of the walks figured in Yreka's only score. Pete Creb bin was walked in the second in ning. Barry followed with a sin gle, advancing Crebbin, who then stole thud. The next two batters fanned bu Fasoletti fol lowed with a rap that was mis handled by Curt Holzgang at second base and Crebbin tallied Maddox Steals Home Terry Maddox tripled for Med ford in the fourth then stole home for a run that tied up the game. In the fifth Sherwood singled and got to third base on Catcher C. Russell's bad throw attempt ing to stop the Medford runner at second. John Niles grounded out. Sherwood crossed with the winning run on Holzgang's sacri fice bunt. The two hits by Sherwood and one by Maddox, all off Bud Rus sell, were the only bingles Med ford collected. Russell struck out 2 and walked 2. BOX: Yreka AB R H 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 PO 1 7 1 4 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 Fasoletti. rf. cf2 Jones, lb. p 3 RiRgini, 2b 3 Winningham, If 2 C. Russell, c. ... 2 P.

MEDFORD SERVICE STATiOH UEDF0RI)TRIBUM1 Errors Hurt Portlanders As Seals Post San Francisco (U.R) A white whiskered problem bothered the Pacific Coast League Thursday, with solid arguments to support both sides: Are the pitchers ahead of the batters this early in the season? Evidence supporting this time worn theory was introduced at San Diego Wednesday night when the visiting Oakland Oaks downed the Padres, 1-0. Winning pitcher Lloyd Hittle southpawed a neat five-hitter. And loser Jack Salveson, trying this season to achieve his 200th PCL pitching victory, allowed seven. Double Wins At San Francisco, where the Seals won from Portland 5-4 on pinch-hitting Will Hafey's ninth- Giants Lose Monte. Irvin Denver, Colo. (U.R) A de pressed Leo Durocher, fearing that slugger Monte Irvin will miss the entire season ' because of his broken ankle, moaned Thursday he has lost his "big guy" and doesn't know how to replace him. "Irvin was the big guy, the guy that got us the runs," said Durocher in a numbed voice. "How can you replace him at a moment's notice?" Led League The answer, of course, is that you can't quickly replace a star outfielder who led the National League in runs batted in last year with 121 and swung a smok ing hat in the "miracle" finish drive that gave the Giants the pennant. But, with the word from the hospital Thursday that Irvin broke the fibula bone in his right ankle in an unnecessary slide into third base in Wednes day's exhibition game against the Indians, Durocher knows he probably will have to do with out Irvin for the rest of the year. Helser To Join Beavers April 15 Portland (U.R) Roy Helser, who doubles as co-basketball and baseball coach at Linfield col lege during the school year and pitches for the Portland Beavers during the summer, said Thurs day he will join the club April 15 when the Beavers make their first home appearance. This will be Helser's 11th sea son with the Beavers. He started with the club in 1942. His big gest years were 1944, 1945 and 1946. when he was a 20-game winner. He won't join the Beavers on a full-time basis until school is out in June. Meanwhile, he'll be available for home games only. Gene Smith Desires Scuffle With Saddler Washington (U.R) Chunky Gene Smith of Washington, with a string of 30 straight victories, seeks a crack at world feather weight champion Sandy Sad dler's title this summer. Smith made Glen Flanagan of St. Paul, Minn., his latest victim Wednesday night when he was awarded a majority de cision in a nationally televised 10-round fight at Uline arena. Smith weighed 128 pounds, Flanagan 129. Dtptndabl MARATHON by GOODYEAR Now, with dependable Marathons priced so low there's no longer any need to risk riding en warn, unsafe tires.

MAIN AND RIVERSIDE Phono 2-6314 i wmammmmaaemmammm Thursday, April 3, 1952 5-4 Victory inning double, the victors amassed only six safeties. The night previous, the Seals won on five hits while their pitcher. Bui Reeder, was doling out just one. These reports of weak hitting offer impressive support to the strong-pitching argument. But there is contradictory evidence in other scores. Hollywood nipped Seattle, 7-6, though the Rainiers nudged out 14 bingles. And Los Angeles, paced by Tod Davis' f ive-for-f ive, slugged Sacramento, 8-6, with a 15-hit attack. The Solons, though losers, had 11 base knocks. Furthermore, only two mounds men managed -'to go the route. Hittle stayed strong over the nine-frame distance. And Port land's loser, Marino Pieretti, went all the way. Four Chances Flubbed Pieretti, the thick-necked Ital ian from San Francisco's North Beach, was the victim of horrid fielding support. His mates flubbed four chances, nullifying any chance he had for victory. Only one of the Seals tallies was earned. Portland outfielder Clint Con atser, with three hits, put the Bevos back in the ball game with a two-run homer that tied the score in the eighth. But then came muscular Hafey, a re formed pitcher, and the Seals had won their second in a row. LINESCOREsl Oakland 000 000 0101 7 1 San Oiego .... 000 000 000 0 S 1 Hittle and P.

Ben Hogan and Lloyd Mangrum, veterans of many a pressure-packed fairway battle, were in the favorites roles Thursday as the largest field in history teed off in the opening round of the coveted Masters golf tournament Many a Johnny-come-lately to the ranks of golfing's elite had been highly touted as the rec ord field of 72 assembled here during the past few days. Allegiance Switched But when it came time to tee off in the tournament that the great Bobby Jones founded and designed the tourney that is a greater prize than any except the PGA and the U. S. open the fans switched their alle giance from the comparative rookies like hot-shot Jack Burke of Houston, Tex., back to old, familiar stars. Snead, Hogan and Mangrum forced the switch by proving in the tension of Wednesday's fi nal practice round over the par 72 layout that they are ready to play their very best golf.

Front & Jackson Streets ' Phone 2-6211 Your HUDSON Dealer Prep Cinder Gang Meets Grants Pass Track and field competitors of Medford high will get another indication of their strength in the district on Saturday when they oppose Grants Pass on the Cavemen's oval. The third an nual Grants Pass Rotary meet is set for 2:30 p. m. "This week-end will be the test," according to Medford Coach Bob Newland. "We look for an interesting afternoon," he added. Grants Pass loomed a power last week-end when it scored a lopsided triumph in a four-way tangle with Crater, Ashland and Illinois Valley. The Cavemen, who have a host of performers back from last year, now appear the biggest threat to Medford cind?rpath supremacy. Full Distance Saturday Medford romped over Klam ath Falls, its usual toughest ri val, by an overwhelming mar gin last week. Not too good a comparison between the Medford teams, however, can be made from last week's foot race -times. Grants Pass was competing in a short distance meet while in the Medford-rUamath struggle only the hurdles and one middle dis tance event were shortened. The meet this Saturday will be full "distance except for the hurdles. It will be Grants Pass' first full distance test. About 38 Medford youths will make the Grants Pass jaunt. B Coaches Will Meet George Bray, Talent, president of the county B school coaches association has called a meeting of that organization for 11 a.m. Saturday at the county school superintendent's office in the courthouse here. He said a matter concerning baseball officials will be dis cussed. The B baseball league slate is to open Friday with Talent at Rogue River and Phoenix at Jacksonville. Prospect's fray with St. Mary's here may be postponed because of work being done at the fairgrounds ball park. Player Hurt The six-man football and the basketball schedules for next year will be drawn up at the meeting. Bray said. A practice fray between St. Mary's and Phoenix was halted in the last of the fourth inning when Melvin Amaro, St. Mary's catcher, was hit in the head with a bat. The wound required three stitches. St Mary's was leading at the time 7 to 6. Honsberger Wins Washington Toga Olympia (U.R) Ray Hons- berger, the veteran Clarkston linksman. ruled Thursday as king of Washington state golfers after he defeated Bill Christie of Seattle one up Wednesday to win his second consecutive state professional golfers' tourney championship. Honsberger beat Christie after 36 holes of play at the Olympia Country and Golf Club course. At the end of the first 18 holes, Christie was five up on the defending titlisv. But Honsberger came back with sub- par golf in the afternoon to win. Baseball Kills Oklahoma Youth Comanche, Okla. (U.R) A baseball hurled by a teammate, struck 16-year-old Gary Eldon Moore on the chest, just above his heart, and he fell to the ground dead. Moore was a member of the Comanche high school baseball team which was holding a warm- up practice session when the accident happened Wednesday, Police Chief Lee Williams said.
