MEDFORDv'SWTRIBUNX mm O'Doul Happy Over Padre Success at San Francisco San Francisco U.R) Jubilant Lefty O'Doul doffed his baseball cap toward Seals stadium and owner Paul I. Fagan tucked a golf bag under an arm and led the triumphant San Diego Padres back to Southern California Mon day. Or Marblehead was happier than he had been in years. O'Doul's Pacific Coast league leading Padres had finished whipping the Seals he managed for 17 seasons, five games to two. A crowd of 13,263, encouraged by warm sunshine, came out to watch the O'Doul-Fagan "hate" twin bill, bringing to more than 40,000 the number who viewed the series. The feud, for the benefit of late-comers, started when Fagan fired O'Doul following a last place finish in 1951. Further, Fagan was something less than fond of O'Doul's in-season golf- Oregon Track Club Favored In Circuit By UNITED PRESS Oregon's Ducks were a heavy favorite Monday to win the Northern Division dual meet track and field title. The Ducks edged Washington State to 63 V4 Saturday at Eugene for their second close victory in as many Saturdays over Evergreen state foes. Ore gon still has Oregon State and Idaho left, but will be heavily favored over both of them. Sweeney Stars Idaho's surprising Vandals downed Oregon State 74 16 to 56 16 at Corvallis. Bruce Swee ney of the Vandals won both hurdles and the broad jump be sides finishing in a three-way second place tie in the high jump. Don McClure's broad jump of 22 feet 11V4 inches cinched Ore gon's win over WSC after the Cougars had come from far be hind.

Portland Loses 2 The crowd, largest to pay for PCL baseball in San Francisco in more than two years, saw the Seals win the opener, 4-3, when two Padre errors set the stage for four first-inning Seal runs. But Al "Bender" Benton, saving his seventh of San Diego's 15 wins, extinguished a Seal fire and was credited with the 3-1 Padre victory in the short second tilt. Other PCL twin bills wound up as sweeps. Oakland, recover ing after a dismal start against Portland, downed the Bevos, 5-2 and 4-2, Hollywood double-timed Sacramento, 7-5 and 6-0, on Lee Anthony's three-hitter; and Los Angeles, a half-game away from San Diego's lead, embedded Se attle in the cellar with 5-1 and 4-2 decisions. . Oakland got the opener with a two-run frame, supported by Pete Milne's double, a base on balls and another two-bagger by Tookie Gilbert. The afterpiece, In which Oak land salvaged some respect by getting out of Portland with a 3-4 series, was settled in the third inning and Jay Ragni's two-run circuit smash.

C (IIPI A warning was voiced today by the Citizens Committee for the Hoover Report that legislation ior modernization of the federal government personnel employ ment svstem mav mpnt Hnfont in the house unless widespread puonc senument is expressed in its favor. James P. Mitchell, chairman of the special committee on fed eral personnel policy, an affili ate of the Citizens committee, urged immediate and favorable action on S. 1135 which was passed by the senate last fall and is now before the House Committee on Post Office and Civil Service. S. 1135 embodies key recommendations of the bi partisan Hoover commission to cut red tape in securing and holding skilled and specialized personnel. "Few of the Hoover commis sion's recommendations are so little understood as those con cerned with personnel manage ment within the federal govern ment," Mitchell, vice president of Bloomingdale Brothers of New York, declared, "yet none has more importance or more significance to the nation's tax payers. Our federal government is not only the nation's but the world's largest employer.

Tornado Thinclads Battle Ashlanders on Wednesday Medford high school's track team, triumphant in the Hay- ward relays on Saturday, taking By-Products Slump Hits Price of Meal Chicago (U.R) Livestock prices are falling because of a slump in the prices of livestock by-products, according to the American Meat Institute. The price drop for by-products hurt the live animal market be cause the worth of live animals is dependent on the value of packing house by-products as well as the price of dressed meat the AMI said. Rules Cited The AMI, spokesman for the industry, cited a decline in "the inflationary buying of a year ago' 'and rules requiring butch ers to trim "substantial" amounts to tallow and fat from meat as factors in the slump. 'In the case of beef, hides were worth 33 cents a pound in October but only 10 cents now," the announcement said. 'Tallow was 15 cents a pound a year ago and only 5 cents this week. These reduced values for two key beef by-products would produce, in the case of a 1,000 pound steer, a $20 drop in the live-weight value." C. L. Fidler Tells Plan for Expansion C. Lyall Fidler of the Fidler agency, Jackson hotel, today an nounced the purchase of the in surance business of the Huff agency in the Sparta building Ron Rice, operator of the Huff agency, will continue to solicit insurance out of his offices for the Fidler agency, Fidler added.
