Thomson Finds Range
As Giants Take Win
By UNITED PRESS
Bobby Thomson, the cure-an
for New York Giant problems In
1951, was back at the old stand
Tuesday with familiar medicine.
And he was Just in time to
prevent Manager Leo Durocher
from pulling out his few remain
ing gray hairs.
Hiti Homer
The home run hero of the 1951
pennant race, whose bat had
been strangely silent this year,
burst out of his coma Monday
night with a tremendous homer
which sparked the Giants to a
10 to 4 victory over the Phillies.
Thomson had entered the game
with an anemic .143 batting av
erage which had caused Duroch-
Bob Murphy
Beats Jones
Boston U.R) Heavyweight
Irish Bob Murphy demanded a
bout with contender Rocky Mar
ciano Tuesday after scoring a
10-round decision over Reuben
Jones at Boston Garden.
"I want Marciano or Matthews
or Maxim," said Murphy, the
29-year-old ex-sailor from San
Diego, Calif., who now fights
out of Boston.
Harry (Kid) Matthews is a
light heavyweight and Joey
Maxim, who beat Murphy last
June, holds the title in that di
vision. But Murphy weighed
only 182 V4 for last night's fight
against Jones of Richmond, Va.,
and hopes to train down into the
light heavyweight class while
still fighting as a heavyweight.

er to fear that Bobby did not
take kindly to his "life in a gold
fish bowl" created by his story
book homer which won the '51
pennant for the Giants.'
Thomson had been obviously
over-eager In the Giants' first
five games. He had made only
two hits, had not knocked in a
run and was clearly pressing.
Dispells Doubts
Then, Bobby, in his first game
on the road, dispelled Leo's
doubts. He sent a Howie Fox
serve in the first inning soaring
to the roof of the left field pa
vilion at Shibe Park. Whitey
Lockman, who had walked, trot
ted home ahead of Bobby. The
rest of the Giants took heart,
grabbed their bats Qnd went to
work.
When the night was over, Don
Mueller had also crashed his first
homer of the year and Willie
Mays and Henry Thompson had
clouted triples in the Giants'
heaviest outburst of the season.
Raichi Wins
Vic Raschl made his life-time
mark a spectacular 22-2 against
the Athletics as the Yankees
rolled to an easy 5 to 1 victory
and Cuban Julio Moreno of the
Senators, only pitcher to beat
the Red Sox this year, did it
a second time with a 3 to 2, raven-hit
job. Towering Paul Min
ner pitched a three-hitter as the
Cubs defeated the Pirates, 7 to
1, In the only other game.
The Cubs routed rookie Ron
Kline with seven runs in the
first two innings and Minner
pitched artfully thereafter to
send the Pirates down to their
fourth consecutive defeat. Rookie
Johnny Merson's home run, his
second, spoiled Minner's bid for
a shutout in the fifth inning.
Husky Nine Tops

Seattle (U.R) The Washing

they meet the Cougars here Tues
day. Basketball star Bob Houbregs
pitched the Huskies to a 6-4
Northern Division diamond vic
tory Monday. The lanky right
hander helped his own cause by
banging out a double and triple
to drive in one run. He scored
another himself.
Freshman Jack Spring was the
losing pitcher. Ed Bousheee was
the big gun of the Cougar attack
as he hit two singles and a two
run homer.

Casey Stengel Sounds Off
Against Chisox Trade Talk
New York (U.R) Manager
Casey Stengel of the Yankees
sounded off Tuesday at Frank
Lane of the White Sox for stating
openly that he would like to ob
tain outfielder Hank Bauer In a
big deal that would involve also
the Athletics and perhaps the
Red Sox. .
"If I went around and started
talking about some ball player
that I wanted on some other
club, I'd get fined $3,000 or
some such amount for fooling
around where I wasn't supposed
to," Stengel said. "I don't know
how that crazy so and so gets
by doing It. Maybe he thinks peo
ple will just think he's kidding.'

Fagone Selected
To Pilot Miller
Baseball Crew
Only seven teams were cer
tain in the Rogue Valley Base
ball league with the announce
ment that Ben Fagone, Medford,
has been named manager of the
Central Point Millers nine.
Fagone said that the Millers
will field a team from strictly
"local" talent of Central Point
and Medford.
It had been mentioned pre
viously that a Medford group, of
which Fagone was a member,
might represent Camp White in
the circuit. With Camp White
apparently out of the picture
now, the teams left in the league
are Central Point, Butte Falls,
Prospect, Ashland, Grants Pass,
Cave Junction and Glendale.
Positions Open
First work out of the Millers
under Fagone was held last
night. He has invited all youths
interested in the two communi
ties to turn out and said that all
positions on the team are still
open. Practices are set for Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays
at 5 p.m. at the Central Point
field.
Fagone played two years with
the Cheney Studs and two years
with the Medford Craters in the
now defunct Southern Oregon
league.
of the Yankees who went into a
lengthly discussion with both
Lane and Artie Ehlers, the gen
eral manager of the Athletics,
said "they want plenty but don't
want to give up much.
Nevertheless, it appeared that
Lane, who takes the offensive in
all of the negotiations might
close some sort of a deal within
the next few days.
Ehlers said he had talked to
Joe Cronin, general manage of
the Red Sox when he and Lane
were In Boston, but that the dis
cussions were only In the pre
liminary stages.' The Red Sox
are seeking a catcher and re
portedly are after either Joe Tip
ton of the A's or Ralph Houk of
the Yankees.

Providence, R. I. (U.ro
Rocky Marciano was more confi
dent than ever Tuesday of get
ting a crack at the world's
heavyweight boxing title after
a smashing second round knock
out over Gino Buonvino of Italy.
Weighing 189, the Brock
ton, Mass., contender was satis
fied after the fight he had
erased the impression left by
his mediocre performance in his
last fight against Lee Cavold.
Buonvino weighed 196.
The knockout punch was a
jolting right cross which many
of the 4,592 fans at Rhode Island
Auditorium failed to see.
Marciano has been eyeing a
crack at the title against the
winner of a proposed bout be
tween Champion Jersey Joe
Walcdtt and Ezzard Charles and
the Brockton boy's performance
Monday night showed him at his
sharpest, although against an
inferior opponent.
WIL Begins
'52 Season
By United Press
The Western International
league opens its 1952 season
today, and 18,000 baseball fans
are expected to pass through the
turnstiles to see the four cur
tain raisers of a race predicted
to be one' of the tightest in
years.
Opening games of the recently
designated class A circuit match
Salem at Spokane, Tri-City at
Lewiston, eVictoria at Yakima
and Vancouver at Wenatchee.
League President Robert Abel,
who predicts the best year in
the league's colorful history,
will be at Lewiston to see the
Idaho city make its WIL debut.
The Broncos replaced the Ta-
coma Tigers who last year
dropped out of the loop.
Young Shortstop Credited
With Reviving San Diego
San Francisco (U.R) Allen
Richter, the young shortstop of
the San Diego Padres, may be
the man who can lift the blight
from the life of manager Lefty
O'Doul and, incidentally, the
Padres.
With three weeks of competi
tion already complete in the 1952
Pacific Coast league campaign,
the Padres definitely are in the
pennant chase and many are giv
ing the credit to young Richter.
The powerful young star, who
played for Louisville in the
American Association last year,
has "made" the Padre infield
and has been the big gun on
their defense.
Last year he played 152 games
for the Louisville club, batting
.252 and fielding a fine .953. For
that he was voted the most valu
able man on the club and was
named the league's all-star short
stop. Tuesday night, Richter makes
his first appearance in Holly
wood as the Padres battle the
Stars and fans there will get
their initial glimpse of his rifle
arm. In other games Tuesday night,
the up-and-coming Sacramento
Solons take on San Francisco in
Seals stadium; Oakland visits
Seattle and Los Angeles travels
to Portland.

Sandy Saddler
Begins Hitch
With US Army
New York U.R) Sandy Sad
dler carried the world feather
weight boxing title with him into
the U. S. Army Tuesday for a
two-year hitch.
The Skinny New York battler,
25 and single, was inducted into
the Army Monday at the induc
tion center here and was sent
immediately to Camp Kilmer,
N. J., to begin training.
It was believed that both the
National Boxing association and
the New York State Athletic
Commission would rule he will
retain the featherweight title
throughout his stay in the Army,
thus waiving the rule requiring
champions to defend every six
months. This was the procedure
followed during World War II,
but Saddler is the first ring
champion to enter the service
under the current draft.
