TEW MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thunder. May 1. 1952 MEDFORDvTRIBUNl Jl II II 3 I 3 County Track Meet Slated Here Friday B high school track and field men in Jackson county will ap pear in their biggest meet so far this season when they contend in the annual county scramble on Friday. The meet will begin at 2:30 p.m. at the Medford senior high field. Absent from the tangle this year will be the 1951 champion, bold Hill high school, which amassed 189 15 points to take the honors last year, no longer exists as such. High school stu dents from that community now attend Crater high school, a Class A competitor. However, the coach of last year's champs, Ed Knapp, will direct the meet. He is now men tor at Crater. Main Contenders Phoenix and Rogue River, with their depth, are expected to be the main contenders this time. They were second and fourth, respectively, last year. Jacksonville, third in 1951, will have a number of entries in the meet, as will Talent. St. Mary's of Medford is not expected to enter. Plans of Butte Falls and Prospect were not learned this morning. There should be a number of Interesting events in the Friday fray. Competition in the hurdles Is expected between big Jim Boulter, Rogue River, and Jim Perry, Phoenix. Ron Craig, win ner in both high and low sticks last year, is a doubtful entry In the events. He had been work ing afternoons and may not be considered in shape for the races. Chuck Fisk Top Hitter Seattle U.R) Chuck Fisk, Oregon State's 18-ycnr-old fresh man shortstop, led Northern Di vision collegiate batters Thursday With a robust .563 average. Official statistics showed his nearest competitor was Idaho's veteran Bruce Mcintosh, who had a .522 mark. Oregon's Earl Averlll Jr., was leading in the home run department with three and in runs batted in with 13. Seven hurlers posted 1-0 rec ords, but Don White of Oregon State and Bob Bell of Washing ton each has won two and lost one. WEATHER ' By United Press North California: Generally fair Thursday and Friday but few showers in mountains Thursday. Craig may see relay and discus action. Ray Hiner, Rogue River, Colo rado B champ last year, and Jim Holt, Phoenix, are seen chief bat tlers in the dashes. Max Hite, Phoenix, Boulter and LeRoy Clay, Jacksonville, are high jump contenders. Junior Taylor, Jack sonville, is looked upon as a strong entry in the mile and half-mile. Because of the meet, baseball games slated originally for Fri day, are being played today. They arc Prospect at Phoenix, Rogue River against St. Mary's at Medford and Jacksonville at Talent. Prospect and St; Mary's win play a makeup game here next Wednesday. Marty Marion's Batting Average Among Leaders New York (U.R) In the twi light of his career, Marty Mar ion finally has begun to knock the daylights out of the ball. Marion, the new pepperpot of the St. Louis Browns even at 34 shook his head in baffled amazement as he noticed the .324 figure alongside his name in the batting averages Thurs day. "I didn't know I was up that high," he grinned. "It just goes to prove, though, the older you get, the smarter you become Maybe, I'm Just placing the ball a little better, that's all. "Why man, I hit only .264 during 11 seasons in the Na tional League, so I didn't figure to be up there with all those big sluggers when I came over to this league. "The season's young yet, though. Ain't no sense in get ting too excited this early. A lot ef things can happen between now and October, you know." In the field, the lanky, loose limbed "Mr. Shortstop" still has few peers. He has played in 10 of the 12 tirownio games so far, has yet to make his first error in the American league and is cred ited by Manager Rogers Horns by as the man "who keeps our infield together." Marion, the ex-Cardinal man ager who failed to take part in a single game last season be cause of an ailing knee, still feels he will play in at least 125 games for the Browns. LONE PINE VICTOR"" The Lone Pine middle grades baseball nine defeated Jackson school of Medford 9 to 2 in a game at Jackson on Tuesday. Rain Could Bog Down Hill Gail Louisville, Ky. (U.R) They were praying Thursday for it to "come up mud" Saturday in the Kentucky Derby and bog down hotshot Hill Gail to throw the 78th running of America's greatest racing classic into a wide-open scramble. If it is fast and dry, It will be Hill Gail against an expected field of from 13 to 15 rivals with CalUmet's latest cannon ball an 8 to 5 choice. But the weatherman cheered the chilled hearts of the other hopefuls with a forecast of rain for the $100, 000 mile and a quarter race. No less than eight of Hill Gail's forlorn opponents could move up in gooey going. If it is dry, they figure, the bounc ing long-tailed son of Bull Lea will run away and hide Just as he did in last Tuesday's Derby trial. Four Top Mudders But, if it's wet, they also fig ure, any one 6f these Gushing Oil, Happy Go Lucky, Cold Command, Sub Fleet, tternai Moon, Cannonball, Brown Ram bler and newly-arrived Swoop can stay with him in heavy go ing. Four of these rank as top notch mudders Gushing Oil, Sub Fleet, Cold Command, and Happy Go Lucky. If it doesn't come up wet, the only hope of the desperate corps of challengers is for a $100,000 sacrifice play. All the trainers agree that somebody mainly the front-running Pintor lor Count Flame will have to go out with Hill Gail and melt the early run out of him. If not, they believe, he will go on top and run away from the struggling pack. Redkey Standout In Squad Tussle Corvallis (U.R) Spring foot ball practice was over for the Oregon State college Beavers Thursday. Left halfback Bob Redkey, heretofore used mainly on de fense, provided a surprise yes terday by leading the Blues to a 29-0 victory over the Orange in an Intrasquad game that con cluded the 20-day spring drills. Redkey passed twice for Blue touchdowns, one a 55-yard aariel to Jack Pinion. Beavers Purchase Conatser, Eqqert Portland (U.R) Two Portland Beavers,. Clint Conatser and Don Eggert, were purchased outright Thursday by the Portland Pacific Coast league baseball club. Conatser, an outfielder who performed for Hollywood last year, came from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and third baseman Eg gert, a Texas league performer last year, came from the St. Louis Browns.

Big Year Seen for Jansen, Maglie in Giant Campaign By UNITED PRESS Sal Maglie and Larry Jansen, distinguished New York firm of curve-ball manufacturers which negotiated 48 victories in 1951, appear headed for even greater returns this year. Off their blazing starts, the Giants' "twin-stoppers" could be the first 1-2 pitching combina tion to total 50 victories in one National League season since Paul Derringer and Bucky Wal ters won 52 for the Reds in 1939. Both are far ahead of their 1951 paces when they finished with 23 victories each. Jansen noticed this second vic tory of the campaign Wednesday with a neat three-hit, 4 to 1 vic tory over the Reds less than 24 hours after Maglie had won his third game with a three-hitter over the same team. Jansen didn't win his second game last season until May 8 and Maglie d.idn't win No. 3 until May 9. Further Advanced . As a team, the Giants are even further advanced. A year ago they had lost 12 games, won only four and had just snapped their 11-game losing streak. Now they are three games over. 500 a pinnacle they did not reach in 1951 until June 13. Jansen, facing only three men in seven of the nine innings, needed only a little offensive support and rookie second-baseman Davey Williams supplied it with two doubles and two singles in five at-bats. Hank Edwards' home run deprived Jansen of a shutout just as his first of the season had spoiled Magllc's shut out bid the previous night. The Dodgers, Phillies and Braves, meanwhile, were dis appointed by shabby mound per formances. Schoendienst Homers For the Dodgers, big Chris Van Cuyk failed to last one in ning and Carl Erskine was also pummelled as the Cardinals rap ped, out 14 hits for an easy 14 to 2 victory. Red Schocndicnst's grand-slam highlighted the Car dinal attack which gave sturdy Gerry Staley easy sailing toward his fourth victory of the season without a loss. The Phillies were sadly dis appointed when Bubba Church was knocked out of the box when the Cubs scored seven runs in the third inning. The Phillies battled back to send the game Into extra innings only to lose, 9 to 8, in the 12th when Bob Addis doubled across Bob Ra mazottl. Church, a 15-game win ner in 1951 who failed to get into shape this spring, was making his 1952 debut. Manager Tommy Holmes of the Braves had an even sorrier performance to ponder as he watched five pitchers issue a to tal of 12 walks as the Pirates snapped their 10-game losing streak with an 11 to 5 triumph. Marines Steal Show A pair of famous Marine Air Corps captains stole the spot light in the American League games. Ted Williams hit a seventh inning homer off 'Dizzy Trout in his final at-bat to give the Red Sox a 5 to 3 victory over the Tigers while Gerry Coleman had two hits in each game, including a triple in his last at-bat, as the Yankees beat the Browns. 4 to 1 after bowing in the first game 01 ineir double-header, 9 to 4. Williams and Coleman may have completed their baseball careers as both go on active duty in the Marine Air Corps f naay morning. Coleman RESULTS: (Seventh Grade) 60-yd. dash 1st. Walte (E-Tl; 2nd.

The light failed to halt the horse, but an automobile crossing the intersection did. Wortman and Sport were treated for cuts and bruises.
