April 17, 1851 Mrs Harbour is expected to pitch for the Cavemen. ' Harbour has not faced Tor nado batters this year. Grants Pass apparently is judiciously saving its ace for the scuffles that count. The Medfordites are expecting a tougher time of it than in the previous meetings. Wooton To Pitch Medford won the initial prac tice mix with Grants Pass 9 to 1. The Cavemen were lashed 12 to 0 in the second meeting as the veteran Terry Maddox tossed a no-hit, no-run game. Derald Wooton and Lloyd Hart were pitchers in the first tussle. Der ald Wooten is the likely choice of Coach Alex McDonald as chuckcr this time. The district race this year ap pears a scrap between Medford and Grants Pass. Each has beat en Klamath Falls. The three are the only schools in this A-l dis trict. Each plays only two dis trict frays with each other school. Ned May Pinch Hit McDonald said that Ned Lan ders will not be able to play Fri day except possibly as a pinch hitter. The Medford first base man suffered a spike wound in the Crater high mix on Tuesday, Terry Sherwood is scheduled to take over first base duties with a choice lying among three youths to fill Sherwood's regu lar left field spot. The three are Lloyd Hart, Tom Rodgers and Dick Atterbury. It is hoped that Landers will be able to play at Grants Pass next Wednesday.

Pitcher Warren Spahn's throw to Braves' first sacker George Crowe arrived just in time to pick off Stephens. Umpire Jim Duffy calls the out as Braves' catcher Ebba St. Claire (42) looks on. The Braves won, 5-4. Rookie's Homer Wins Fray For Cleveland Chicago (U.R) "I was just aiming for a plain old single, I never expected anything like that," said rookie Jim Fridley whose first major league hit, a homer into the left field stands, gave the Cleveland Indians a 1 to 0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. "It was a fast ball, about letter high and just a little outside," the big left fielder explained. Fridley's big blow, the realiza tion of every rookie's dream, gave pitcher Bob Lemon his first win of the season Wednes day in a pitching duel with vet eran Joe Dobson. Dobson handed out only four hits but one of them was the telling pitch to Fridley. Giants Happy Bob Elliott, the blond blaster from California, made Giant fans happier than they have been at any time since Bobby Thomson hit his historic pennant-winning homer against the Dodgers. The 35-year-old Elliott was ob tained from the Boston Braves just last week in a desperation deal to dispel the gloom cast over the defending National leaguers by Monte Irvin s brok en ankle. Belting Bob really filled Ir- vin's old cleanup spot in his Giant debut in Wednesday night's season opener against the Phillies smashing two home runs to give pitcher Sal Maglie exactly the margin he needed for a fine, four-hit, 5 to 3 vic tory on which Maglie strupk out eight batters. Flying Start The Elliott-Maglle combina tion enabled the pennant-defending Giants to get off to a flying start, in another day in which top-flight pitching highlighted the program.

MAIN AND of the Yankees, Tommy Byrne of the Browns, and Cliff Cham bers of the Cardinals cashed in on "hexes" to record well earned triumphs. Raschi, pitched two-hit ball over the Athletics, before going out in the ninth to beat them 8 to 1. Byrne's seven-hitter over De troit was his 13th win against five losses over -his favorite op ponents, while Chambers topped his old mates, the Pirates, 6 to 5, yielding only two tallies before going out for a pinchhitter. Pitching Forgotten In other games In which pitching stood out Julie Moreno at Washington topped the Red Sox 4 to 3, in 11 innings. Tne Dodgers and Braves forgot all about pitching in a wooden wedding in Boston in which Brooklyn made 20 hits to win 14 to 8. The Reds and Cubs had an open date. The Browns came from be hind to tie the Tigers at 3-3 with three runs in the seventh, then went on to win when Tom Wright singled, rookie George Schmees tripled and Hank Arft doubled for two more runs in the eighth. The Cardinals made it two straight over Pittsburgh by put ting on a five-run rally in the seventh, including a two-run homer by Stan Musial.

After an unbelievably-hapless start, during which Manager Joe Gordon's group lost seven of Its first eight airings, the Sacs have ceased to be so sad and current ly are gliding on a win streak of six. No one has yet suggested the Gordon - Guided Solons are a pennant threat. But perhaps Sac ramento is not so bad as it ap peared during the terrible open ing week against Los Angeles. Needed Help Eccentric Chester Johnson, the losingest pitcher in the PCL last season, needed help last night in the ninth Inning but got credit for twirling Sacra mento to a 5-4 decision over Hol lywood. Joe Glynn and Gordon's single batted home all the runs the Sacs needed. Elsewhere, Los Angeles clung to its half-game league lead with a 5-3 victory over Seattle, and San Diego squared its "feud series with San Francisco, down ing the Seals in a wild contest, 9-5.
