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.

There's such big difference in whiskies in

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
