Ft. Jones next Sunday. Mad
dox appeared In a Cheney

Prisoner Riot
At Multnomah County Jail
Portland (U.R) Guards, using
smoke bombs, broke up a riot at
the county jail in 15 minutes
Wednesday night after prisoners
started breaking windows and
tearing up furnishings.
Sheriff Terry Schrunk said
prisoners apparently had heard
too many stories about prison
Low Scores
Highlight of
PC L Scraps
San Francisco (U.R) This is
a story about baseballs that
didn't stray far from home. But
It deals, mainly, with the pitch'
ers who threw them.
Take a squint at Wednesday
night's remarkable Pacific Coast
league pitching performances:
Hollywood's Mel Queen and
Portland's Bed Adams flipped
two hitters at each other, with
the Star righthander copping a
1-0 decision.
Oakland rookie Ron Mahrt al
lowed three hits but one of them
was a homer by John Ostrowski
and Sacramento nipped the
Oaks, 1-0. Winning pitcher Orv
Grove yielded four base hits:
Grumpy Guy Fletcher, a re
capped righthander, surrendered
two hits to Los Angeles as the
league-leading Son Diego Padres
got by the Angels, 2-1, Los An
geles starter Walt Dublel was the
only pitcher who failed to com
plete a starting assignment in
Wednesday night's games. Du
blel and his relief, Don Watkins,
allowed seven hits.
Seattle Winner
And Seattle edged San Fran
cisco, 2-1, 1 Al Wldmar, a hand-
me-down from the St. Louis
Browns .toiled an eight-hitter for
the triumph. Four of the blows
came in one frame the seventh,
when the Seals scored. Loser AI
Lien was touched for seven hits.
Even losing moundsmen may
stand proudly, shoulders erect
and blush modestly as their ef
forts are praised. ,
Bevo shortpatcher Frankle
Austin was the only Portlander
to solve Queen's stuff. He singled
to center In the first and scratch
ed a ohe baser off Queen's glove
In the third.
Adams had a no-hltter until
the sixth, when Dick Cote's dou
ble eased the pressure. The Stars
got him for the game's only run
In the following panel on Gene
Hundley's walk, a sacrifice by
Tom Saffell and Ted Beard's
single to center.

Philadelphia (U.R) Jersey
Joe Walcott, 38-year-old father
of six children will try to de
liver miracle No. 2 Thursday
night by keeping bis world
heavyweight championship In
another title bout with Ezzard
Charles in the vast concrete
horseshoe of Municipal Stadium.
Odds-makers say a Walcott
victory in his first title defense
would be much more remarkable
than a Charles triumph despite
Sports Broadcasts
Radio station KYJC (1230
k. c.) will broadcast the heavy
weight championship fight be
tween Jersey Joe Walcott and
Etiard Charles tonight. The
Philadelphia bout is being air
ed by the American broad
casting company and will be
heard over the Medford .sta
tion at 6 o'clock, standard
time.
the fact that 30-year-old Charles
would be the first ex-champion
in boxing history to regain the
heavy crown.
Axiom Shrugged Off
The bookies quoted Charles
of Cincinnati an 11 to 5 favorite
to beat Walcott of Camden, N.
J., in the fourth championship
fight between the two Negroes.
That quotation shrugged off the
ancient ring axiom for heavy
weights: "They never come
back."
Stocky, bull-shouldered Wal
cott made an ex-champion of
statuesque, mustachioed Charles
akPfttsburgh last July 18 with
an explosive left hook that
knocked out Ezzard in the
seventh round.
"Miracle No. l" was one of
the biggest upsets in sports his
tory. It was achieved by a 6 to
under-dog by the oldest man
ever to win the title by a man
who was "37 going on 45" by
a man who had been defeated in
his two previous title, bouts with
Charles.
Wide Acclaim
His terrific blast at Pitts
burgh not only lifted Jersey Joe
to world-wide acclaim, but rele
gated Charles to the come-back
trail pursued with futility by
six other champions who tried
to win back the title: Jim Cor
bett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeff
ries, Max Schmeling, Joe Louis
and even the great Jack Demp
sey. Charles, powered with about
nine additional pounds of fight
ing weight, believed lie could
upset ring tradition Thursday
before an estimated 35,000 in
the same stadium where Demp-
sey and Gene Tunney attracted
,120,757 fans and $1,895,733 in
1926.
He planned to weigh about
nine pounds more than the 182
he scaled at Pittsburgh, "when
my light weight and my stale-
ness made me sluggish and easy
to hit."

Shantz Rated
Best Hurler
Of League
BY UNITED PRESS
His teammates call him the
"garbage man" and Bobby
Shantz, tiniest, pitcher in the
majors, says just call me a
physical freak."
But plenty of competent au
thorities were calling him the
best pitcher in the American
league Thursday.
The 5 foot, 7 inch lefty for the
Philadelphia A's, who weighs
just 150 pounds, Wednesday
night won his eighth straight
game, 4 to 3, from Detroit, re
tiring 14 men in a row at one
stage and pitching one-hit ball
for the final five innings of his
ninth straight complete game.
Fifth Straight
It also was the fifth straight
victory for the oncoming Ath
letics as Eddie Joost supplied
the big punch with a two-run
homer, his third in six days, and
his sixth of the year.
Shantz, the "mighty molecule
of the A's, still can't figure out
how it comes about. He baffles
the batters with an assortment
of curves, knucklers, fast balls
and a well-cqntrolied change of
pace. That s why the rest of the
A's call him the "garbage man"
it's for the stuff with wh'?h
he litters the plate.
No Equal
Various American league ex
perts, including boss Bill Veeck
of the Browns and Manager
Casey Stengel of the Yankees,
insist that, pound tor pound, no
man in the majors is his equal
as a pitcher.
The self-styled "plhysical
freak," who pitched a 14-inning
to 1 win over the Yankees in
his last start, had trouble in the
ninth when the Tigers scored
their third run. But he pitched
out of the jam despite a cold
arm which was affected by al
most an hour and a half delay
tor rain.
Johnny Groth was his most
troublesome customer, starting
the ninth with a single on which
he eventually scored, and hitting
two-run homer earlier. Shantz
struck out seven to take the
major league lead with 55.

that owning a Bu':k instead of a "low-priced

It's a matter of knowing the facts of life. Buick
