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."

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."

L. 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.

The Medford Cheney Studs
baseball season bowed out about
in the manner it started. 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.

Bill PerL ex-Medford high
athlete who finished at Uni

HERO OP GAMES
Norm Loop, who attended
Medford high was the hero of
baseball games recently for the
Stead Air Force base Olympians
at Reno, Nev. In one game he
hit a bases-loaded homer with
iwo out in the top of the ninth
Inning to give his team a 4 to
2 win victory. In the other clash
he drove in the winning run in
the ninth in a 3 to 2 decision. He
hit three for four in the latter
game: Loop is a corporal in a
supply squadron.
BOWLING OPENINGS
Secretary Bob Lane of Med
ford Bowling association re
ports that there are openings
left for Interested man la
triplet leagues planned ea
Wednesday. Thursday and Fri
day nights. He pointed out that
entry in the triples should give
a bowler good opportunity to
get Into a f ive-maa loop latex
oa as openings occur.
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
