TEN MEDFOBD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, May 23, 1952 Tornado Nine Out of State Tourney REMEMBER Indians Nip Medford in Mound Duel Albany, Ore. U.R A no hitter by Jerry Aman of Lin coln high sparked action in the Oregon high school baseball tournament here Thursday, as The Dalles, Roosevelt and Al bany Joined the Cards In the winner's circle. The Dalles will face Roosevelt and Lincoln will go against Al bany tonight. Finals are Satur day night. Lincoln shut out West Linn 8-0, The Dalles edged Medford 2-1, Roosevelt took Central Catholic 6-2 and Albany waxed Junction City 14-3. Errorless Aman's teammates backed him up with errorless ball and no West Linn player got past first base. He fanned 11 men. The tourney's opening game saw The Dalles' Eddie Urness win a pitchers duel from Med ford's Derald Wooton. Urness gave up four hits and Wooton allowed five. Roosevelt's Bill Wiitala pitched shutout ball against Central Catholic after the first inning, notching a five-hitter. The final game of the day was called at the end of the sixth because of Albany's over whelming lead. Only two of the winner's 14 runs were earned. Terrific Duel Medford's loss to The Dalles pushed the Black Tornado out of the tournament. The contest was a terrific duel betwen Urness and Wooton. Ur ness and Wooton. Urness fanned 11 and Wooton 12. Wooton walked three and Urness hit one batter. In the first frame the Medford chucker fanned three batters and walked one. The procedure was repeated in the second Inning. The Indians got their two runs In the fourth inning and one of the tallies was earned. Dave Jones hit a fly that fell for a double then Bill Moore doubled him home. Terry Zleg elman hit a bounder .to Short stop Dennis Conner, whose throw was way over the head of First baseman Ned Landers. That allowed More to cross with what proved to be the winning run. Medford scored in the second inning when Terry Sherwood tripled and stole home. Ned and Ted Landers and Terry Maddox got the other Medford hits.

(U.R) Ezzard Charles is striving so desperately for speed with which to beat Jersey Joe Wal cott that some of his quickening efforts here seem ludicrous. Never before has Ezzard of Cincinatt appeared so frantic, so inaccurate and so lacking In ring-poise as during his current sparring sessions at Mrs. Laoma Byrd's camp. He believes his headlong hunt for speed will sharpen him prop erly for his attempt to recapture the heavyweight crown from 38-year-old Walcott at Philadel phia's Municipal Stadium, June 5. No other heavyweight ever won back the title. Convinced Although Charles Is nearly eight years younger than the champ, he is convinced he must have lightning In his fists and In his feet in order to beat the still explosive and "surprisingly ag gressive" Walcott in their fourth meeting. "It was Walcott's unexpected aggressiveness and my own un expected lack of speed that brought about my knockout at Pittsburgh last July," Ezzard ex plained Friday, MEDFORDt-TRIBUKB ID IT'S Curt Simmons Posts 3rd Win; Phils Beat Pirates By UNITED PRESS Manager Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies, who said this spring that he had the best pitching in the majors, will be able to prove it if he can get a few of his slow starters to act like Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts. The two mound beauties, who represent the best young one- Portlanders Victors 4-2 Over Seals San Francisco (U.R) Even Ty Cobb, who thinks modern- day baseball is declining, would have to approve of the scores of Thursday night's Pacific Coast league games. They were close, respectable contests, and the results could easily have been reversed in the final in nings. Examples: Chuck Stevens' triple In the ninth set up Holly wood's 1-0 victory over Seattle. It took Sacramento 10 panels to down Los Angeles, 4-2, on catcher Jim McKeegan's two run single. And, in other closies, Port land came from behind to de feat San Francisco, 4-2, on two big Seal errors, and San Diego torpedoed Oakland, 5-3. The vic tory allowed the Pads to stretch their league lead to a game-and- a-half. Almost Out Stevens, a clever first base man, nearly drove the ball out of the park. He pulled up at third, from where he scored on Jacks Phillips' single down the third base line. The game was a duel between winner Johnny Lindell, the vet eran knuckleballer, and right hander Al Wldmar, who came to Seattle from the St. Louis Browns. Sacramento managed to get into extra innings on home runs by Danny Litwhller, the ex-Oak, and manager Joe Gordon. How ever, It was Los Angeles that tied the contest in the eighth, Chuck Connors' single sending home the clincher and moving the contest Into overtime. Sun Francisco, aiming at Its fifth straight, blew a two-run lead and then walked away from the victory in the sixth. First baseman Hank Biasatti dropped Joe' Brovla's pop fly and the Davenport Demon scored when shortstop Len Ratto transgressed on Eddie Basinki's Infield tap. Then surprise, surprise winning pitcher Red Adams squeezed home Portland's fourth run and beat out the bunt for a base hit. San Diego's Al Olson gave Oakland three runs In the sec ond inning before he calmed down. His males got him the vic tory In one scoring five times In the fourth. All the runs were unearned, stemming from Eddie Lake's error at shortstop on a two-out chance.

Riverside Ph. 2-7115 two pitching punch in either league, are performing fully as well as they did in the Phils' 1950 pennant year. The only trouble with that is the failure of the other hurlers to respond with victories. Roberts has won eight games and Simmons three since returning from the Army shortly after the season began. The rest of the staff has a col lective 4-13 won and lost record. Faster Now Simmons, who is even faster than before he went into tie Army at the tail end of the 1950 season, held the Pirates to three hits and struck out eight Thurs day as he gained his third vic tory, 6 to 0, and his second straight shutout. Simmons now has yielded only 14 hits in 29 in nings' struck out 24 batters and walked only 10. Simmons also was a batting star Thursday, delivering an in-side-the-park homer that scored three of the Philly runs. The Dodgers stayed a half game in front of the Giants by topping the Reds again. 8 to 7, with a four-run rally in the eighth high-lighted by Roy Campanella's three-run homer. The Giants topped the Cardin als, 8 to 0, on the four hit pitch ing of Montia Kennedy, and in Boston the Cubs and Braves traded shutouts. Bob Rush pitch ed four-hit ball as the Cubs won the opener, 3 to 0, and Warren Spahn scattered nine hits In Bos ton's 5 to 0 retaliation. In the American league, the Red Sox defeated the Indians, 3 to 2, for the first time this year while in a night game at St. Louis .the Senators topped the Browns, 4 to 2. Kennedy, who either is very bad or very good, had one of his better days in beating the Car dinal ace, Gerry Staley, who suf fercd his second straight loss to the Giants. He has won all of his other seven games.
