BIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE MedfordTribuns Hodges, Kiner Recovering From Slumps By UNITED PRESS Ralph Kiner and Gil Hodges, the two saddest sluggers since mighty Casey struck out in Mud- ville, were menacing the fences once again, challenging other would-be home run kings who let the early, pace in the majors, Kiner. with 42, and Hodges, with 40, were the major league pace setters on homers last year, and it was predicted freely they would repeat this year. But both got off to miserable starts, Kiner had back injury which he kept secret from his team mates and floundered as badly as the rest of the Pittsburgh crew sank deep into last place and stayed there. Hodges, who couldn't get In to the groove, seemed to be men- Diamond Lake Fishing Spotty Fishing was reported "spotty" at Diamond lake over the week end with some anglers getting limits and others going home empty-handed. Still-fishing with worms and trolling with Ford fenders and worms produced the best re. suits. There have been contradic tory reports concerning facili ties at the lake and the condi tion of roads. Word brought back, however, is that ail con cessions ire open at the lake resort and there is little snow close to the lake. The west route to the lake is open to two-lane traffic. The resort is observing day light saving time. Standings COAST LEAOUK W. I,.

Finds Range They couldn't get one and are now glad the deal fell through. Because gloomy Gil suddenly found the range. Due mainly to his big bat, which has produced four homers in the last four games, they are back in first place by a full game over the slumping Giants. Hodges started Brooklyn to its 3 to 2 triumph over the rough Cubs Sunday with a two run homer, giving rookie Ben Wade the margin for his fourth vic tory. Rookie Joe Black saved it with spectacular relief pitching. He struck out three batters in 1 13 innings, the last two in the ninth with runners on first and third. Two Blown The Giants blew two to the Cardinals, 8 to 7 and 8 to 2 in V4 innings. Philadelphia topped Pittsburgh, 5 to 1, then Pete Castiglione and Kiner came through with last-ditch ninth inning homers to give the Bucs a 2 to 1 second game triumph. Cincinnati spoiled Charley Grimm's debut as Boston Man ager with a 1 to 0 victory, also attained in the ninth, but the Braves made 18 hits to win the second game, 9 to 4. In the American League, the second place Red Sox moved to within a game of idle first place Cleveland with a 3 to 2 victory against Chicago. Washington topped Detroit, 4 to 3, then lost, 6 to 3. The Yankees and Indians were rained out of a single game and the Browns and Athletics out of a double-header. Charles Loafs To Hide Secrets Pleasantville, N. J. (U.R) Ezzard Charles deliberately loaf ed through his last serious work out because he believed young Ull Turner was spying upon him for Jersey Joe Walcott. That's what co-trainer Jimmy Brown revealed Monday when questioned about Charles' un certain condition for Thursday night's heavyweight champion ship fight with Walcott at Phlla. dclphia. Eager Observer Young Turner, undefeated wel terweight challenger, was an eager pbserver in the wooden grandstand during Charles' five rounds of sparring Sunday. co-trainer Brown explained 'When Ez was getting into his trunks I told him Turner was In the stand. Ez knows Turner is very close friend of Walcott. So Ez, he knows what to do, and he does It. He takes it easy, gets his exercise. But he don't show nothing no secrets." EXCHANGE MADE Seattle (U.R) The Seattle Rainers Monday obtained out fielder Paul Lchner from Oak land in exchange for recently acquired pitcher Bill Evans. Evans had refused to report.

I luin ill I Monday, June 7. Iil2 Stars Seem About Ready To Move Up San Francisco (U.R) It has taken Hollywood some time to get around to it, but the Stars now seem about ready to exert pressure on San Diego's league lead. Hollywood, a team which is supposed to have everything pitching, hitting, fielding and speed, used most of its resources to the fullest in winning the final three games of a series with Oakland. Pinky Woods blanked the Oaks Saturday. Then Sunday the second-place Stars edged within four games of San Diego by whipping Mel Otts lads, 8-2, and 11-2. Johnny Lindell knue kleballed a five-hitter in the first game and the Stars tallied 10 runs in one inning to win the second. Portland Splits The first-place Padres split with Portland losing to Fred Sanford's three-hitter, 4-1, but winning 3-1 in the overtime nightcap as Jack Graham clubbed an eighth inning homer. The inconsistent San Francisco players moved to within half-a-game of fourth-place Los An geles by nipping the Angels twice, 8-2 and 5-4. And in a twi-night twin bill, Sacramento replaced Seattle in the cellar by losing to the Rainers twice, 7-5 ajid 6-3. Bob Mathias Star In AAU Track Meet Portland, Ore. (U.R) Stan ford's Olympic champion Bob Mathias broke two meet records and won a third event in the open division of a Northwest AAU track meet here Saturday night.
