Thuriday, July 31, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE WINE s Robin Roberts Shooting for 300 Major League Victories By UNITED PRESS Old timers claim picture pitch er Robin Roberts, who has youth and a strong right arm on his side. Is the major leaguer most likely to win 300 games in his career, and the 25-year-old Phil lies' right hander was making them sound like true prophets Thursday. No pitcher has hit that magic number since another Philadel phian, Lefty Bob Grove, reach ed it in 1930. And currently, no active pitcher but Bob Feller of the Indians and Bobo New som of the Athletics, has more than 200. But both of them have come close to the limit, whereas Roberts, who may have 10 or more good years, is just getting started. Wednesday night, the prize bonus boy, who signed for a fancy price when he left the Michigan State campus, won his 16th game by defeating the Reds, 7 to 3, as the Phils made it six victories in a row, 10 out of 11, and 12 out of 14. That made him tops for the year in the Nation al league and it also gave him a lifetime mark of 79 victories in five seasons. The Phillies had to come from behind to win, scoring seven runs in the seventh and eighth Innings as Willie Jones drove in four with successive home runs. The Phils, now 13V4 games out of first place, closed in on both the third place Cardinals, who lost 2 to 1 in Boston, and on the second place Giants, who won 10 to 6 from the Cubs, then lost, 6 to 2. The Dodgers, end ing a five - game losing streak, beat the Pirates, 4 to 3 in 10 Innings, to take a 4 Vi game first place lead. Single Pitch Throws Scorer into Tizzy New York 0J.R) One pitch by Johnny Klipptteln of the Cubs threw xhe official scorer into a tizzy Wednesday night- This was the setup: Bobby Thomson of the Giants was on Ihird base, Don Mueller on second and Davey Williams at bat with a 3-1 count. Thomson broke for home on tha windup and slid in safely as Kllppstein's hurried pitch eluded catcher Harry ChitL Mueller also scored be fore Chitl could retrieve the ball. The pitch was the fourth ball to Williams. Tha scorer's ruling: A stolen base, a wild pitch, and a base on balls. . . . In the American league, the pace-setting Yankees suffered a two - hit, 7 to 0 setback at Chi cago on Lou Kretlow's second straight shutout, but runner - up Cleveland remained three games behind by losing 5 to 4 to Bos ton. The Red Sox, by winning, moved within half a game of Cleveland. The sixth place Ath letics moved to within 8V2 games of the top with a 4 to 3 conquest of Detroit, and the fourth place Senators ended a four-game los ing streak by defeating the Browns, 6 to 2. Caps Take Two Slumping Bears WIL Games From By UNITED PRESS Yakima's hot winning streak in the Western International league seems to have cooled off. For a time, the Bears couldn't be stopped, but lately they've been having their troubles. Wednesday night they had double trouble as the Vancouv er Capilanos trounced them twice, 9-7, and 8-6. Vancouver put together three singles, a sacrifice and a double to score two .runs in the seventh inning of the opener for their win. The Caps collected 17 hits in the nightcap to post their second victory of the evening. Every Victoria player hit safe ly at least once as the Tyees downed Wenatchee 10-7 at Wen atchee. Manager Cece Garriott, with two singles and three runs batted in, paced the Victoria attack. At Spokane the Indians came up with six runs in the sixth inning to defeat Tri - City, 9-1 Sam Kenelos' triple was the big blow of the inning. j-.ewiston eagea saiem 5-4 in 10 innings at Lewiston with the help of an unearned run in the 10th. An error, and singles by Bob Williams and Artie Wilson produced ine game - winning marker. LOSES WALLET, MONEY Hamilton, Ont.

Sport Parade By OSCAR F HALEY United Press Sports Writer Helsinki (U.R) You can still be proud of her, Pop, for with the odds stacked against her she gave the best in the world a real run for their money and she did it with her chin up. The little girl you named Zoe Ann back there on that happy natal day 21 years ago won't be taking a gold medal back to you Olsens, or to her husband, Jackie Jensen. But she's a real champ anyhow, Pop. Zoe Ann had a lot of rough jolts Wednesday. First she was deducted points in the spring board dive which dropped her from third to eighth place and smashed those Olympic hopes. Then she discovered that $280 and the diamond wrist watch, which Jackie gave her on her 18th birthday, had been stolen. But, nobody has to tell you she didn't quit. .

Manager Describes Widespread Work Of Chamber Here Widely diversified rotivities of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce were described in an luncheon address this week by Don Lane, manager of the chamber. Speaking at the Jack son hotel. Lane reminded Ro- tarians that the chamber of commerce idea is not a develop ment of industrialized America, but actually originated in France in the 16th century as an outgrowth of guild problems. Within the past five years, the local chamber can point to nu merous achievements of econo mic importance to this ar-. the speaker said Release of the Bu reau of Reclamation report to bolster irrigation water supply, encouragement of West Coast airline service here, establish ment of VA hospital at Camp White, and acquisition of Camp White sewage disposal system, claimed much attention. The chamber's industrial survey, highway development, tourist shows and expansion of this area's convention program had a high priority in the organiza tion's last five year activities. Money From Conventions Conventions scheduled for Jackson County in 1953 should bring $1,000,000 of new money here, Lane told Rotarians. Every thing from special tours to baby sitter service will be provided for these visitors. A quarter million tourist' folders have been distributed in recent years and this, with widespread publicity in national periodicals and the state's promotional program, has built southern Oregon's third in dustry in the tourist travel field. Right now approximately 2,800 tourist cars come to southern Oregon daily. Encouragement of regular air service to Klamath Falls is a part of the chamber's current air development program. Rate reduction on lumber shipments to Klamath Falls, encourage ment of this city as a medical center and the expansion of the Medford Plan for charities were cited as chamber accomplish- j ments. - j Signs of Prosperity Signs of future prosperity are i apparent,, Lane said .This pros perity can be based upon in- j creased convention income, de velopment of good growing and processing, accelerated by in creased water for irrigation, and increased lumber utilization through wood chemurgy. There J is future income assured; through developments of refm-j ing processes for low grade min erals and profitable business through wise promotion of the; tourist industry is almost un- limited, Lane predicted. . j Rotary Program Chairman ! Otto Ewaldson introduced the ! speaker. ' j FAMILY MOVES AHEAD Hastings, Neb. U.R) Mr. : and Mrs. John Richards had i ample reason to attend promo-: tion ceremonies at the Hastings ; school.
