TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE MEDFORDIfTRIBUirc rmririrMfl J I II ran Senators Stir By Nabbing Thump Detroit Crew 6-2 BY UNITED PRESS- As if there wasn't enough ex citement in Washington in this presidential election year, ; Bucky Harris and his Senators ' have to go stirring up some more i with a six game winning streak '. and a drive that could make them solid contenders if they i don't fold up. Usually, the Senators fold up nicely and let the election take its course in other presidential years. But the wily Harris seems to ' have other plans. Wednesday night as the Nats made it six in a row with a five-hit, 6 to 2 victory over Detroit by Sid Hud son, they strengthened their hold on third place and stood only 2'i games out of first. They kept pace with first place Boston which downed Chi cago, 7 to 2, and with second place Cleveland which again ' banged the Yankees, 7 to 2. And they picked up a full game on the fourth place Browns who were downed, 1 to 0, by the Athletics. Dodgers kp ahead In the National League, Brooklyn stayed half a game in front of the Giants by win ning a 5 to 4 decision at Cin cinnati, while the Giants topped the Cardinals, 3 to 1. The Pirates ended a six-game losing streak by defeating the Phillies, S to 1, and the Cubs and Braves were idle because of cold weather. Hudson, a veteran who was supposed to have been washed up because of arm trouble, now is throwing with a full over hand motion again and he gave it the works against the Tigers for his second straight route going performance. Jackie Jen sen singled and doubled and drove in a run. Archie Wilson went hitless but drew two key walks and still has a .524 aver age. Jim Busby collected two hits and scored two runs. Fourth Straight The Yankees dropped their second straight to the Indians, : who now have won four straight. Mike Garcia gave up 12 hits, but the Yankees left 10 men on base to make it a hor rendous total of 14S for the campaign. They also have hit only five homers, which com pares with 18 for them at this stage last year. Al Rosen, who now has eight homers himself to pace the AL got the latest Wednesday as he drove in two runs with two hits. Bobby Avlla made three hits while Harry Simpson and Luke Easter got two each. Rookie Bill Henry pitched five-hit ball and drove In two runs with a triple, also adding a single as Boston won easily over Chicago. Clyde Vollmer hit two doubles and Johnny Pesky drove in two runs with another double. Lefty Alex Kellner gained his first shutout in five years in the majors -for the up-and-coming Athletics, holding the Browns to five hits, and choking off a rally in the ninth with the bases full. Philadelphia scored the only run in the first inning on a double by Eddie Joost, a pnlr of walks and a long fly ball by Ferris Fain.

The Giants made the two runs they needed to win in the sixth on a long single by Don Mueller. Pittsburgh ended its latest losing streak by prolonging one for luckless Russ Meyer, who now has dropped four games without a win. His mates made five errors to give Pittsburgh four unearned runs. Simmons Tallies Winning Marker For Spokane Nine BY UNITED PRESS Pitcher Frank Case believes In doing a Job quickly, and that policy had a lot to do with Spo kane's being at the top of the Western International league standings Thursday. The 21 -year-old righthander put out the fire after John Mar shall had been shelled in the eighth inning, then batted home the winning run in the ninth as the defending champions edged Lewiston, 5-4, Wednesday night. Chase won his own game by drilling a sharp single which scored Pat Simmons, who had reached second on a fielder's choice and an error. Vancouver Helps His brief stint on the hill and at the plate boosted the Indians to the top of the pack since Van couver knocked off Victoria, the former pace setter, 7-2. In other action, Wenatchee walloped Tri-City, 10-2, and Sa lem romped " over the hapless Yakima Bears, 7-1. vancouvers victory was the Caps' third straight over the fading Tyees.

Hite To Fourth Wena tehee's victory lifted the Chiefs from sixth to fourth place in the standings. Credit for the win went to Frank Dasso, one time Pacific Coast league strike out king, who scattered eight hits and whiffed nine batters.

TNI Willi OlDllt AND UlSllt 1111111 Of AUIO lUPrtlll Thursday, May 8, 1952 Chuck Davey Whips Vejar Chicago (U.R) Southpaw Chuck Davey vaulted into the top rank among welterweight contenders and gave a large share of the credit to former star Lew Tendler. It was Tendler, Davey reveal ed, who taught him in a 10-day session how to pack extra power into his punches blows like those that four times hammered young Chico Vejar to the Chi cago Stadium canvas Wednesday night to rack up an important 10 round decision. "I'm hitting a lot harder with that left hand now since Tend ler got hold of me," said Davey. "He taught me to put my body behind the blow and I've some how got a lot more power with the punch." Plenty of Power Davey showed plenty of pow er and class in his nationally televised scrap with Vejar, his most important victory. The triumph, 32nd of Davey's pro career which began after he won four national collegiate titles as a Michigan State college scrapper, preserved his undefeat ed record. More important, It elevated him into position as a leading contender for champion Kid Gavilan's title. Then Davey put in the con vincer in the sixth and seventh. In each case he boomed a left to the stomach and in each case he put Chico down, the first time for a six count, the second for eight. And these were the punches that won. American League Gives Ump Job Cedar Grove, N. J. (U.R) A vindicated Scotty Robb, eager to begin his new job, humbly de clared Thursday he felt "honored beyond words" at the surprise invitation to umpire in the Amer ican league. The 45-year-old Robb, who quit his job as National league umpire Monday following a fine and public rebuke, said he plans to relax at his home here until American league President Will Harridge instructs him to begin his new duties about May 13. Felt Low "I felt pretty low when I came back home from Cincinnati the other night," he recalled, refer ring to the resignation he sub mitted to National league Presi dent Warren Gijes. TO TEST PROWESS It will be boxer against puncher when Bert Hartley, above, Mcdford, and Frank Finell, Roscburg, col lide on Friday, March 16, in the election night card at the Med ford YMCA. Hartley, rated one one of the smoothest lads on the Mcdford Y team, will put his ring generalship up against Fin ell's punching ability. Hartley, also, has developed a sharp punch of his own. In addition to the regular 12-bout card there will be a mystery bout between a well-known Republican and equally well-known Democrat. PC-!

(International) PADS' LUNA HURLS 1-0 DECISION OVER SOLONS San Francisco (U.R) Guil- lermo Palmero Luna, a Mexican- born pepper pot who pitches sweeping southpaw curves, laid claim Thursday to being the most effective and luckiest moundsman in the Pacific Coast league. Luna, San Diego's unbeaten ace, turned the dial to victory Wednesday night -vhen he worked a nifty four-hitter to get the first-place Padres a 1-0 de cision over last-place Sacramen to. The bucket of whitewash he threw at the Solons his third this season attested to his ef fectiveness. Luna's luck was evidenced when he defeated Sacramento's chesty Chester Johnson, who confidently fired a two-hit game. Johnson, losingest pitcher in the PCL last year after winning 22 contests in 1950, was trumped by the Pads in the eighth inning, when Thurman Tucker singled home Luna with the game's only run. In other battles, homers by Jim Russell and Clin Conaster car ried Portland to a 4-3 win over Seattle, San Francisco out slugged Hollywood, 10-B, in a 2 hour and 45 minute performance. The Los Angeles - Oakland game was postponed because of wet grounds and threatening weather. Russell's four-master came in opening inning, scoring Frankie Austin. Two frames later, Conat ser poked his, with Joe Brovia aboard.

Tom MacDonald captured the number one singles match by downing Don Megale 6-2, 6-4. Tlien it's fired. And when that happens, a drop of gasoline certainly lets loose power. This isn't something that happens in a "car of the future." It happens in a Buick Fireball 8 Engine today. It's a high-compression engine. It's a valve-in-head engine. But it's also a Fireball in performance as well as name. And it puts extra power under the hood and extra miles in the fuel back in the gas tank. Now, power is great, but what goes with it? Mister, that's something you ought to find out and soon. What goes w ith it is an automobile as sweet-handling, eager and willing as anything that ever made your pulse leap to a faster beat.
