SZGKT MEDrOBO (OREGON) MAIL THIBUKE Friday, Angus St, IMS Najjar Wins 14th for Dodgers; Uestlatis's Homer Tips Yankees New York UiO Rum Meyer may not have to pound that nail Into the wall after all it looks like he'll be using that pitcher's glove next year instead of hang ing it up. ' On the day that the fiery fire bailer learned he had been traded to the Dodgers last spring he was so enthusiastic that he Mid. "If I can't win 18 ball games with that club I'm going to hang up the old glove and quit." Still In There Meyer won his 14th game, 7-5, ftom the Cubs yesterday, even though he yielded 12 hits and had to have help from Clem Labine, who struck out the last batter in the ninth. The victory put the Brooks B'i games ahead of Milwaukee which had an open date. Phila delphia, Cincinnati and Pitts burgh also were idle. In the American League, the Yankees blew a 4-2 decision to Cleveland in 11 innings when Wally Westlake hit a two run, game breaking homer to give Mike Garcia his 16th victory with a five hitter. The White Sox topped the Red Sox 6-4, as Virgil Trucks won his 18th game to cut the Yankee first place lead to 9V4 games. The Senators piled up 12 runs in the first three innings to top the Tigers, 12-5, and at St- Louis, the Browns topped the Athletics, 5-4 and 3-1. In the only other Na tional League game, the Cardi nals came from behind to top tne Giants 6-3 with four runs in tne seventh. Rivera Triples Jim Rivera hit a three run triple in the third inning to put Chicago in front for good as Trucks scattered seven hits in cluding a homer by George KelL The Browns put over two runs in the eighth to break a 1-1 tie as a walk with the sacks loaded and a long fly by Jim Dyck pro vided the winning margin for reliever Ma rlin Stuart who gained his eighth victory in the second game. In the opener Vic Wertz hit a two run homer in the ninth, his second of the game and his 17th of the year to give St. Louis its triumph. Rip Repulski sparked the Cardinal winning rally over the Giants with a three run homer to give Ed Erautt the victory in a relief chore.

RAMS vs. BROWNS KWIrT v Miaatasy ay Gypsy Tour Field Cycle Matches Scheduled Sunday Tri-city international Gypsy Tour field meet matches, spon sored by the Rogue River Ram blers" motorcycle club, will be held this Sunday, August 30, at the picnic grounds Just above the Copper store along Apple gate river. This is the only American Mo torcycle Association Gypsy Tour to be held in Oregon. Long Beach, Wash., and Hollister, Calif., played hosts to the hun dreds of cyclists in their states in early summer months. This probably will be the last chance for AMA members to re ceive the award this year. AMA Fanfare ly DICK JEWETT Maa Tribaae Ssorti Edits : A school half the size of Med ford high had a larger turnout for football practice this week. We don't think Medford should let that happen. Approximately 45 boys have been reporting for Black Tor nado sessions here. Crater high at Central Point listed toumouts of 61 and 59 for opening prac tices. It's true - that Medford is a three-year high school while Crater has four classes. But, the fact remains that Medford still has double the number of stu dents. One would think the num ber of Tornado grid aspirants would be near double the num ber of Comets. It can be argued that fruit work is keeping a number of boys from practices and we realize that the jobs are a must for some of the boys but the fact remains that the neighbor ing school, which Medford meets on the gridiron for the first time this fall, is also faced with the work problem. We wonder if there is a lack of interest locally. It could make a difference when the two clubs collide. EQUAL START NEEDED There are arguments pro and con about the advisability of opening football workouts in August. But the late August practice opening date has been established by the Oregon School Activities association. Many of the schools Medford meets, if not all of them, start training sessions at that time. And the Black Tornado, to be at the same stage of readiness, must begin its preparations at the same time. MOT MUCH HELP The youths who cannot or will not come out for practices at the start and wait a couple of weeks. or until school opens, aren't of much use to the Black Tornado, at least in the early part of the season, when it probably counts the most. And, if they have var sity aspirations, they are way be hind the others, particularly in fundamentals and conditioning. So, now's the time to turn out. WINS ONE-FOURTH Eddie Simmons, stellar Medford linksman. has won exactly one-fourth of the 24 Southern Oregon Golf tourna ments held at the Rogue Val ley Country club. And. he's been runner-up on a number of occasions. Simmons, who annexed six crowns in the lo cal tourney, nabbed his first championship in 1934. He won again in 1936. 1938. 1939. 1944 and 1949. Next to Simmons in number of SO victories is Dick Hanen. Coos Bay. with four 1940. 1941. 1946 and 1947. Only three others have won the tournament more than once the late Bob Hammond.
