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.

Ezzard Charles
Works for Speed
Pleasantvllle, N. J. (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,

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.

Cul'sn & Curry, Inc.
123 S. 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.
