Butte Falls
Prospect
Two Rogue Valley league base
ball games were halted by storms
and a third scheduled game was
presumably forfeited.
Central Point rose into fifth
place and enhanced a chance for
fourth spot by dumping Butte
Falls 6 to 1 at Central Point. The
game was called in the sixth in
ning because of rain.
At Ashland the Cave Junction
nine maintained lirst place in
the standings by humbling the
Lithians 3 to 0. The Cave Jpnc-
tion crew had tallied three runs
in the seventh inning but the
scores did not count since the
fray was called at that point and
the official count reverted to the
status at the end ot six innings
Prospect reported to Grants
Pass late last week that it could
not field a team on Sunday and
that game was figured as a for
feit to the Merchants. Glendale
was not scheduled to play.
Joe Pizzuto and Jack Burns
paced Central Point at bat. Piz
zuto socked a triple and single
for a nerfect day and Burns
swatted three for four. Dick Kid
well pitched one-hit ball for the
Millers. Butte 1 alls scored us
run in the first inning. -Central
Point pushed over
marker in the second, two in the
third, two in the fifth and one
more in the sixth.
The Millers are now idle until
the rest of the league finishes. If
Glendale loses two of its three
remaining tie games, the Central
Pointers will be tied for fourth.

Haney and Mel Ott are the luck
iest guys in baseball.
Haney's Hollywood Stars and
Otts Oakland Acorns are in a
virtual tie for the Pacific Coast
league lead, but, after their
showing at San Francisco and
Los Angeles, they haven't much
right to be.
Each club Is fortunate the oth
er did so poorly.
Hollywod, perhaps, is luckier
than Oakland; for the Seals had
less right to win six of seven
from the Stars than the Angels
had to take five from the Oaks
At any rate, Haney's Stars
have a .001 edge over Ott's Oak-
landers..
Padres Profit

Sacramento, profited most by

Dodgers Aim
To Smother
Giants' Hope
By UNITED PRESS
Bring on the Giants!
That was the cry of the Dodg
ers Monday and It was loud
enough to echo over the Brook
lyn bridge and into the precinct
of the ex-miracle men of the
Polo grounds, who might have
been better off if they had spent
Sunday afternoon playing polo
instead of baseball.
Actually, no one is going. to
bring on the Giants the Dodg
ers will have to' go out after
them in a four-game road trip
over that same Brooklyn bridge
starting Tuesday night and it
could be the complete crusher to
New York's hopes of achieving
second straight stretch run
pennant. But that makes no dif
ference to them now.
Bums Jubilant
The Dodgers were jubilant
and justifiably so. For they had
just won two from the Cubs,
to 2 and 9 to 1, the first in a
driving ninth-inning finish to
halt a general slump among the
hitters" and the pitchers, the sec
ond with an old-fashioned home
run barrage.
Meanwhile, the Giants were
being humbled twice by the
last-place Pirates, 7 to 0 and 10
to 8.
Roy Campanella singled with
the bases loaded to give Brook
lyn its opening victory over the
Cubs after Hank Sauer had hit
his 27th homer to tie the count
in the top of the ninth.
14 Bingles
In the second game the
Brooks made 14 hits including
three doubles, two homers and
a triple to make it easy for John
Rutherford to score his first vic
tory as a starter. He yielded
seven hits. Carl Erskine won his
11th game in the opener, doling
out six hits. Duke Snider hit a
homer and triple in the second
game and Jackie Robinson hom
ered in each game.
Pittsburgh put on a five-run
third-inning rally and Ralph La-
Palme and Murry' Dickson col
laborated to keep the Giants
scoreless in the opener, Dickson
winning his ninth game in a re
lief role after choking off a one-
out bases loaded threat by the
Giants in the third.
In the second game, Pitts
burgh took a 10 to 1 lead, but
the Giants almost caught up by
scoring seven runs in the sixth
inning, in which Davey Williams
hit a three-run homer.
Whitey Dage
Racing Star
Whitey Dage, Roseburg, took
top honors Sunday in stock car
races .at the Medford airport
speedway.
He tied for first with Dick
Mills, Grants Pass, in the 20 lap
race, and took firsts innne 1
lap event and one heat race.
Lew Kurz was third in the 20
lapper. In the 12 lap run Jim
Haskins was second and "Bob
Williams third. Bud Kennedy
grabbed the trophy dash.
Williams was second in the
heat won by Dage and Glen
Condon, Ashland, was third.
Haskins took the second heat
with Kurz second and Elden
Sisemore, Ashland, third. Lee
Skaggs ' had best time for the
better than half-mile track, 29.3
seconds.
OUTFIELDER SIGNED
Portland (U.R) Outfielder
Mike McCormick has been sign
ed by the Portland Beavers to
give added strength to the gar
den crew in the club's drive to
ward the top of the Pacific
Coast league. McCormick, a vet
eran of several seasons in the big
leagues, played with Sacramento
earlier this season.

Tumult and Shouting Die;
Pageantry Ends Olympics
Helsinki (U.R) The tumult
and the shouting died Monday
and the fifteenth Olympic Games
of modern times went into the
history books an unequalled
carnival of record - breaking
featured by America's inspired
uphill climb to the team champ
ionship.
All that remained Monday was
for the weary athletes to bid
farewell to their new friends
from other nations and to begin
their trek back to their homes all
over the world
They could all proudly reflect
that they were part of perhaps
the most fantastic sports show
of all time, Uie show that saw
Russia emerge from behind the
Iron Curtain and almost, but not

First Since 1912
The Soviets appearance for
the first time since 1912, was, of
course, the biggest thing at these
games which were formally con
eluded Sunday amid colorful
pageantry.
The world long had wondered
just how good Russian athletes
were whether they really were
as mighty as Russian newspapers
and broadcasts made them out
to be. The world got the an
swer in two hectic weeks the
Russians turned out to be just
fair in the major events of the
Olympics, track and swimming.
and all-powerful in such events
as gymnastics and wrestling.
Minor Event Strength
That strength in minor events
was so great that the Soviets
led the unofficial team compet
ition right down to the very last
big day, when aroused American
athletes reeled off 110 points to
defend successfully the crown
they won in 1948 at London.
- According to the generally ac
cepted but unofficial system
of scoring points 10-5-4-3-2-1 for
the first six finishers in each
event, the Yanks won the title
by 614 points to 553 V. for Rus
sia. The Soviets had a different
scoring system alloting only
seven points for first place, a
move that cut down U.S. points.
But even by that system, the
U. S. won 494 to 446V.
The Americans won 40 first-
place gold medals, 15 of them in
