Softballers
May Meet
Next Week
Those interested in formation
of a summer softball league in
Medford were reminded today
to contact either Ray Lewis at
Pierce Freight lines or Dick
Jewett at The Mail Tribune.
It 4s planned to call a meeting
some time next week on forma
tion of a league but it Is desired
to get some idea beforehand on
the number of teams that might
participate.
A suggestion has been made
that men interested in playing
see what they can do to line up
sponsors.
So far, the National Guard has
said that they want to field a
team, the YMCA has reported
that it might organize two teams.
There is at least one busi
ness in town that has indicated
Interest. Fred Sears, physical
education chairman for the
YMCA, has offered the Y facili
ties as a clearing house for loop
organization.
Day and time of the contem
plated meeting are yet to be an
nounced. Boston (U.R) Five Boston
Braves pitchers served up a total
of 218 pitches In yesterday's 14-8
loss to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The total is believed to be a
record for a nine-inning Major
league game.

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.
Bowling
Oregon Finance this week
claimed the second half cham
pionship in the Women's Bowling
league.
The Finance team wound up
with 34 wins and 26 losses. Close
behind were Y Club with 32 wins
and 28 losses and Medford Feed
and Seed and Green Lantern
with 31 games won and 29 lost.
A play-off between Medford
Feed and Seed, first half winner
and Oregon Finance is set for
Tuesday, April 22. There will
be a city tournament on Tues
day, April 29. Trophies will be
given out that night.

TRAFFIC JAM AT FIRST-Vern Stephens (left) of the Red Sox
is nailed at first in the seventh inning of a Braves - Red Sox game
in Boston. 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. Maglie, Vic Raschl

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.

6th Straight
PCL Victory
San Francisco U.R It's
about time someone suggested
giving the Sacramento Solons a
saliva test.
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. Oakland and Portland were
not scheduled.

bly will play for a Camp white

Pass is a new member. Rogue
River and Eagle Point will not
field clubs as earlier expected.

MacArthur Name
Out of Contest
Laure.l, Md. !U.R)At his own
mur s name was scraiuneu uuiu
the Preidential Sweepstakes, a
special race to be run for charity
at Laurel Thursday.
Ten stable ponies, named after
presidential candidates, are to
run in a special non-betting race
but MacArthur asked his name
be withdrawn because he is not
seeking a presidential nomina
tion.
"Very much in favor of the
charity," the general wired Jo
seph Cascarella, Laurel secre
tary-treasurer, "but not being a
presidential candidate, would
prefer to have my name scratch
ed from the presidential sweep
stakes at Laurel race course."
Other entries are Eisenhower,
