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.

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. .

Cowboy's and Indians
Game Too Realistic
Miami, Fla. (U.R) Mrs. Wil
liam McBride said Thursday her
children play too realistic a
game of cowboys and Indians.
Attracted by screams from
the backyard Wednesday, Mrs.
McBride spotted her five-year-old
daughter, Sandra, dangling
from a tree with a rope around
her neck. Her eight-year-old son,
William, was sitting cross-armed
on a limb letting out war
whoops. The girls was rushed to a hos
pital and revived.

Over Last Year
Washington (U.R) The ag
riculture department has esti
mated the 1952 lamb crop at
18,401,000 head, up two per cent
from last year's 17,980,000 head.
This year's crop includes
lambs born since Oct. 1 last year
through the normal spring lamb
ing period this year.
The department said the lamb ;
crop of 11,593,000 head in the

about two per cent from last
year, the smallest on record and
44 per cent below the 10-year
average for the Western states.
It said production in the 33 na
tive states showed a 10 per cent
gain.
'Moderate' Increases
Of the Western sheep states,
the department said Montana,
New Mexico and Washington
crop shows "moderate increas
es" over last year and crops in
Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Califor
nia and South Dakota show
slight increases.
But it said crops in Idaho,
Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona and
Texas are down from last year.
It said the crop in Texas, the
leading sheep state, shows a 10
pejr cent reduction from last
year, chiefly because of extend
ed drought conditions.

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
