Snider Sparks Brooklyn Sweep Of Tvinbill; Yanks Lose Ground By CARL LUNDOUIST New York U.B Duke Sni der the center fielder of those window-breaking Brooklyn Dod gers, was the latest of them to rate serious consideration today for "most valuable player" hon ors. The California Duke, who is playing at the peak of his career, probably will wind up with his top major league marks in four departments and he has an out side chance of improving on two others.' Yesterday, as he hit two hom ers and drove in seven runs with five hits in Brooklyn's 10-4 and 9-7 triumphs over the Pirates, he closed in on his best previous marks practically all-around. His two homers gave him a Beavers Split With. Suds; Showdown Series Slated San Francisco U.E That private tiff between Portland and San Francisco for fourth place in the Pacific Coast league threatened to become a wide open brawl today as Lefty O'Doul's rampant San Diego Padres headed north for a show down with the Beavers. The' bordertowners were the only club that made any pro gress in the race yesterday as they swept a double header from Sacramento, 6-4 and 4-2, while the other teams were split ting. The twin win gave the Pads a 7-1 series victory over the dazed Senators and left San Diego only two games behind the Seals and Beavers, who re mained tied for the first divis ion plum. Injured Ace Just to make things worse for the latter two clubs, the Seal's ace lefty, John McCall, may have fractured a thumb pitch ing against Los 'Angeles yester day. And the Beavers have to play another game against Seat tle tonight as a result of Sat urday's rain out. Seattle already has the series wrapped up, five games to two. Earl Rapp smashed a three run homer in the eighth to pro pel the Pads to their 6-4 vic tory over Sacramento in the first game. Willie Luna then turned back the Sacks with six hits as San Diego took the fin ale. 4-4. Hollywood remained 9Vz games ahead of the pack by splitting with last place Oak land. Tom Saffell's three-run homer in the eighth Inning of the opener lifted the Stars to a 9-5 victory. George Bamberg er then tamed the Stars with a four-hitter in the encore for a 3-0 triumph. Other Games The Rainiers again hexed their old jinx, Jehosie Heard, with a 12-bit assault to win the opener 4-2. Ray Orteig battered the Portland southpaw for a two run homer in the sixth. Then Glenn Elliott flipped the Bevos to a 3-0 win in the finale, stopping the Suds with three bingles. Elliott delivered with a two run single in the seventh University Librarian Spare Time Explorer Kent, O. (U.R) Librarian John B. Nicholson Jr. of Kent State University here is a spare-time Indian Mound explorer. This area is not as rich in In dian lore as some others, but Nicholson finds much to fill all the hours he can devote to his vocation. Although he can tick off doz ens of worthwhile sites for ex ploration, Nicholson complains, "It's very frustrating at times. Homes have been built on some. Many are plowed in farm fields and roads have been cut through others. In Nicholson's opinion, the Mound Builders "apparently were the only Indians who made a serious attempt to live in this area." FIELD DAT Al Rosea. land Indian third baseman, had a field day against St Loess Browns m OeveUad vkea ha Bat Ithree boom rana in ilimlilalmikH, "He drove in seven runs and leads American League vita 110 KBTa. VWt S, V 1 I - . . " ; 1 total of 31, which equals the number he hit In 1090. He scor ed three runs yesterday, giving him a total of 101 and making him the only player in the ma jors past the century mark. He needs only nine more to top his best previous' total of 109 also in the 1930 season. The Brooks moved nine full games ahead of Milwaukee, which rans its winning streak to eight games by beating the Cubs, 10-2 on Warren Spahn's four-hit 17th victory before losing 7-2 in a darkness-halted, seven-inning finale. In the American league, the Yankees blanked the Athletics, 4-0 on Vic Raschi's six-hit pitch ing. However, the Yankees lost ground to Chicago which defeat- frame to best Al Widmar, who dropped his 13th decision. Bob Talbot drove in two runs and scored twice as Los Angeles won the opener against San Francisco, 5-4. McCall injured his thumb in the third innings of the night cap when he stopped a liner by Murray Franklin. Bob Muncrief relieved him and racked up his eighth win, an 8 to 2 victory.

Players Hand Club Owners Hot Potato New York (U.R) Baseball's big league big-wigs will have to decide today how to handle the hottest potato that has been handed to them since the ball players tried to form a union seven years ago. In a new "get tough" policy that came as the result of "one biushoff after the other," the players are sending their new legal counselor, J. Norman Lewis into a face-to-face meeting with Commissioner Ford Prick and the major league executive coun cil. There was a possibility that Frick would rule the nlavers out of order in their hiring of an attorney who has no official con nection with baseball on the grounds that there is nothing in baseball's law which calls for such representation on their be half. Whatever he decides to do he was keeping highly secret. He spent yesterday on the golf course - and was unavailable thereafter at his home. Allie Reynolds of the Yankees, the American League player rep resentative, who usually gets what he wants in his own per sonal salary dealings with the world champs, made it plain that this time he was anxious for all ef the players in the majors to get a break. "We're getting a little tired of getting the same old brush off." he said. "The club owners accept proposals we make and then they turn right around and disregard their agreements. This is a drastic step but it had to be taken." NET VICTOR Mineapolis, Minn.

Kurz Has Close Call In Auto Race Ashland's Jack McCoy won the main event for the second consecutive week Friday night in one of the roughest sessions of hardtopping history at the Jackson County speedway. Lou Kurz, driving car R22, narrowly missed serious injury when his auto rolled in a dra matic collision before a near capacity crowd in the stands. His car was caught in a tightly wedged pack during the final heat and flipped by Wayne Lem ley, A57, and Roy Renfro, M27, whose wheels were locked. Other cars following escaped the collision by inches as Kurz' car landed on its side with both rear wheels snapped off. Pit crews found Kurz unconscious, and he was removed from the field by ambulance. Bumped and Bruised Outside the gate, however, he recovered consciousness and re fused to leave the scene. Attend ants said he had suffered only a bump on the head and body bruises.- Kurz sat out the re mainder of the races in the stands. Two California drivers, Rusty Phillips in C21, and Don Moore, C22, won the final heat and semi-main and the second heat and trophy ' dash, respectively. Bernie Miller's powerful M6 took th'e third heat, while Lou Smith captured the fourth heat in a car making its first appear ance on the Medford track. It bore Miller's old number, M86. Six madcap drivers split into teams representing Ashland and Medford for the destruction derby, a special event. Joe Wolfe led the Ashland men to a smashing victory, although a teammate was forced to drive his steaming wreck around the track backwards to claim the winners' trophy. He said he was afraid to try a forward gear. B"irit'Theat 1. Monty Hall Al: 3. Roy Renfro M27: 3. Bud Hurt M20. Second heat 1. Don Moore C22; 2. Rusty Phillips C21: 3. Lou Kurz R22. Third heat 1.

Much of the early part of the year's schedule was postponed or can celled by rain. Yesterday, rain threatened the final game of the season. Part. of the action with the Lumberjacks yesterday was played in showers and the fray was halted 10 or IS minutes after SV4 innings by a heavy shower. . ' RETIREMENT SHORT There were several points ef interest about the Studs', week end baseball series. One was the return from "retire ment" ef Third Baseman Alex McDonald. He got off to a shaky start Saturday then came through with some sparkling plays and hit five for 10 for the series. Terry Maddox of Medford was a put-out victim Saturday night when he rounded second base on a fly ball which was caught and failed to touch second in getting back to first sack. Bus Arlitt hit for the Jacks and headed for. second in the Saturday game. How ever, he was called out when the Jacks' first base coach stood en the base and drew the Medford throw from the outfield-Sunday saw Coos Bay's Dick Wanner play with bor rowed shoes which were so tight en his feet that he left them off while patrolling the outfield. TO SOCE Tom Rodgers, Medford high school baseballer, who was grad uated this spring, will enter Southern Oregon college. His plans include baseball and per haps basketball.

ROCKEY JINXED Another note about the Sun day Studs-Lumberjack game. If you're superstitious, you could say that CB-NB was bound to lose. Ward Rockey, Jack pitcher, was shooting for his 13th victory of the season. Spokane Slaps Lewiston 12-0 By UNITED PRESS There's one thing you can be sure of when the Spokane In dians are hot, there's no stopping them.
