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.

Gypsy Tour Field Cycle

the picnic grounds Just above
the Copper store along Apple

in early summer months.
This probably will be the last
chance for AMA members to re

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.

tournament more than once

meet) and in 1931: H. B. Bent

Trout Angling
In Main Rogue
Getting Better
Portland (U.R) Prospects for
sea-run cutthroat trout and for
salmon fishing are good along
the coast while conditions vary
elsewhere, the State Game Com
mission said today in its weekly
report.
SOUTHWEST: Winchester bay
very good for silver salmon.
Preferred bait is herring. A
few sea -run cutthroat being
taken in the Umpqua and Smith
rivers. Siltcoos and Tahkenitch
lakes catfish and spiny-ray an
gling good. Tenmile lakes cat
fish angling good. Perch fishing
excellent.
Salmon fishing is picking up
at Gold Beach and throughout
the lower 12 miles of the river.
Some limit catches of steelhead
are being made in the Agness
area.
Lures Best
Trout angling is fair and im
proving in main Rogue. Few
catches are being made on flies
but best catches are with spin
ners and lures. More steelhead
are being reported taken all
along the main river from Rogue
Elk through to Galice.
General water conditions of
the Rogue river and its tribu
taries are low and clear.
WEBFOOT DRAFTED
