Jury Convicts Giardello on Beating Charge Philadelphia (U.R) An amazed Joey Giardello, convic ted of beating a service station attendant, fought for a new trial Thursday to remove the blight on his jeopardized middleweight boxing career. I he jury deliberated more than five hours to find the top contender for Carl (Bobo) Ol son's crown guilty Wednesday night of assaulting Howard Short, 31, and on three counts of riot at the South Philadelphia station Oct. 29. Michael Von Moschzisker, Gi ardello's attorney, immediately asked that sentencing be defer red for four days to give him time to file an appeal for a new trial. The verdict, if it stands, could hurt or possibly end Giardello's career since, fight observers said most states have agreed not to license boxers convicted of a crime.

March 18, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN mora Ctobbers lilac Hi, .81-41; Way. ..Cleveland Rector Leads Tornado To Win; Fast Battle With Tribe Seen By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor McArthur Court, University of Oregon, Eugene Sending the 1955 classic's "Ciderella" team back to its ashes last night, Med- ford's sturdy, confident cagers joined Eugene, Central Catholic of Portland and Cleveland of Portland for this evening's round of four in the championship bracket of the Oregon class A high school basketball tourna ment here. Outclass Pioneers Medford, breezing to triumph mainly on the strength of a big third quarter splurge, outclassed scrappy but ragged and erratic McLoughlin high of Milton-Free- water 61 to 41 m the tourneys second round to earn its semi final berth against Cleveland's swift-moving Indians. Cleveland put the first blemish on the pre viously spotless St. Helens Lions' 195411955 record, fighting an up hill battle to win 65 to 62 in over time. The Lions had won 23 straight this year. Eugene, smashing 77 to 47 victor yesterday over Albany, and Central Catholic, winner by 45 to 31 over South Salem, col lide in tonight's semi-finals. This evening's victors vie Saturday night for Oregon prep basket ball's most cherished crown while the losers mix for third place. Medford last was a semi-finalist in 1946 and seeks its third diadem and first since 1929. Mac Hi, the surprising con querer of high ranked North Bend, in Wednesday's opening round and tourney "darling" for the upset, had little to offer of fensively against the No. 1 rated Black Tornado. Stout Medford msui - to - man hoop protection gave the Pioneers little chance to operate effectively and get good shots. The Eastern Oregon quint got only seven field goals in the first three quarters. Took Lead Early But the combination of delib erate . pioneer maneuvering to pave the way for close in jump ers and high-spirited defense furious play under the back board held down the Tornado for most of the first half. It was the same type of play which broke the North Bend Bulldogs. Medford, however, didn't crack. The Tornado kept on top after taking a 4 to 3 lead three min utes into the game. The advantage stretched to 10 to 3, slipped to 10 to 8, was 12 to 8 at the quarter, increased to 18 to 11, then shrank to 18 to 15 midway through the second pe riod. Medford put on an eight point burst to go to 26 to 16 at the half. In the third quarter, the pow erhouse from the Rouge valley whirled away all chances for a second straight upset by the am bitious Pioneers. Finally catch ing full stride the Tornado blew up a 19-point gale while com pletely blanking Mac High for five full minutes. That ran the count to a spread of 29 points at 45 to 16. At the end of the stanza Medford led by 26 with a score of 49 to 23. Rector Medford Star Frank Rector was Medford's star performer with 21 points for the night despite a cold which has handicapped his effi ciency. During the big third quar ter assault he contributed nine of the counters and his 12 tallies A FRANK RECTOR Scores 21 Points ter, were a big reason why Med ford got on top and stayed there during an early stage of the game. His first two buckets gave Medford the upper hand on the scoreboard. Two others during the first- half relengthened shrinking Medford margins and another got the Tornado on its way to a wide command. Jerry Kalapus contributed his usual stellar duty on the backboards with 14 retrieves and he had 12 points and second high scoring honors for his team. Pioneer Ace Gets 16 Gene Lieullan gleaned the glory for the Pioneers with 16 points and 16 rebounds but his laurels were of the empty sort. Eight of , his counters came in the fourth quarter and six of them when the Medford line-up was flooded with reserves. The Tornado subs filtered into the action through the various stages of the final stanza which saw two regulars, Larry Copple and Bud Kastner, foul out. Ex cept for appearance by Glenn Peterson for brief seconds, the reservists played the last 4Vs minutes of the tussle. Medford had one of its lowest nights of the season in field coaling average with .389 but the Pear City boys shot less and made more than the Pioneers. Twenty-one field goals in 54 tries was the mark for Medford while Mac Hi ran up 14 for 66 for a poor .212. The Pioneer deliberateness on offense and zeal on defense cur tailed somewhat the Medford fast break. The break did whoosh at times but not always for baskets. Indians Tough With Cleveland's Indians to night expected to play a hard running game, the Medford of fense could swing back in its style. Nevertheless, the Indians, twice beaten by Medford, 58 to 48 and 56 to 40, in early season, showed every indication last night that they'll give the Tor nado a battle. The Tribe's encounter with St. Helen's was a thriller-diller and it was the 27 and 16 point shoot ing of all-state candidates Dick Jolley and Eric Peterson, respec tively, and the rebounding of Jay Bashor, Bob Hevener and Jol ley which principally manufac tured the win. But Lion fouls in the final quarter had a lot to do with it.

Cleveland caught up with St. Helen's at 59-all on two gift shots by Bashor with 2Vi min utes to play. Jolley put the tribe on top at 61 to 59 but Jim Spears, St. Helens big gun of the second half tied up the score. Cleveland stalled to try for one sure shot but never got the chance. A pass went astray, St. Helens - got the ball and Jim Ross shot and missed at the buzzer. Jolley and Petersen provided the Cleveland goals in the over time. Marlin Marsh made a free shot for St. Helens which had six or seven field shots at the hoop but couldn't pump in the ball. Eugene, with huge Mike Mo ran showing the way with 27 points and 13 rebounds, turned in by far the outstanding show ing of the quarter-finals. The Axemen, in lashing Albany, a team which beat them once by 12 points, shot a sizzling .518 av erage from the field. Albany, unable to hit and outplayed and outhustled by the hometowners, never was in contention, even with Don Stamp's 27 points. The Axemen led once by 40 counters, 62 to 22. Central Catholic and South Salem lacked luster. The Rams won by holding the Saxons to only two points in the last quar ter while getting 17 themselves. Jim Altenhofen of the Catholic school was the star of the piece with 17 points and 19 rebounds.

Attendance continued high yesterday with the tournament total now at 45,738. Medford was given a battle by Mac-Hi in the first quarter but the Black Tornado had too much for the eastern Oregon squad. Guard Frank Rector poured in 21 points for Medford while George Lieullan hit 16 for Mac Hi. Bitter Battle The Cleveland - St. Helens game was a lulu. St. Helens held a nine-point lead early in the fourth quarter and seemed on its way to its 24th straight. But the Indians, led by Dick Jolley, came back to go ahead and then see the game tied at 61-all as Jimmy Spears hit a push shot.

(U.R) Char ley Grimm is going into the 1955 pennant race figuring his Braves have "as good a chance as any body." "We definitely are a first divi sion ball club, and I'm optimis tic as hell," Grimm said. "I know the league is going to be tougher because it will have bet ter balance, but we figure to be a lot stronger, too." Grimm, still jolly despite a stomach ulcer, likes his pitching, calling it "the best in the league in depth." So he figures if his club can avoid the injuries which plagued it last season, "it could go all the way." The only weak spot he can see on his team is if his star catcher, Del Crandall, should be injured and lost to the team for any length of time. Grimm figures the addition of catcher Jack Parks, .312 hitter at Atlanta, George Crowe, a first baseman who hit .334 at Toledo and Charles Tanner, an outfielder also up from Atlanta where he batted .323 gives his team the left-handed pinch hit- for Albany. Six-foot-eight-inch Mike Moran scored 27 points for the Axemen as a record after noon crowd of 8136 watched. Moran sat out more than a quar ter. Don Stamps had 25 points for Albany. Central Catholic's win over Salem was paced by Sophomore Jim Altenhofen who scored his team's first six points and wound up with 17. It was close until the final quarter. Consolation round games yes terday saw Milwaukie drub Dallas 67-33; Baker top Astoria 58-44; North Bend down Frank lin 75-67, and Redmond take Hillsboro 52-41. Eugene (U.R) Mike Moran, tall Eugene center, led individ ual scorers at the end of two days of the state tournament with 50 points. Don Stamps of Albany was next with 45 and Red Bloedel of Milwaukie had 44. Eugene (U.R) Dr. Ruskin Blatchord of Salem missed his first state tournament basketball game in nine years yesterday. Dr. Blatchford, who had seen 216 consecutive tournament games, failed to get here in time for the 8:30 a.m. Redmond-Hills-boro clash. Dr. Blatchford has attended at least part of all but the first state tournament, w hich was in 1919. 14 MACK TRACTORS, ytar modal from '48 '52. 11x22 tires, duple 10-ipaed trantmbiioa, 200.

Along with that improvement, he expects a full season's play out of Bobby Thomason, who got into only 43 games, many of them as a pinch hitter, after breaking his ankle in spring training. Henry Aaron, a rookie star last season until he, too, broke an ankle, also seems fit, and Grimm expects pitchers Chet Nichols and Bob Buhl to do better. Buhl, who looked great last spring, won only two games while losing seven while Nichols, just out of service, won nine and lost 11. Last spring Grimm figured the two of them should be good for 30 victories and this year he believes they will make it. They will be his starters along with Gene Conley (14-9); War ren Spahn (21-12) and Lew Bur dette (15-14). Dave Jolly (11-6), Ernie John son (5-2, the veteran Dave Koslo (1-2) and Ray Crone, who won seven at Toledo, are relief pitch ing possibilities. Crone could win a starting jib, according to Grimm, along with Jim Wilson, (8-2). The infield is set with Joe Adcock at first, either Danny O'Connell or Johnny Dittmer at second, Johnny Logan at short and Ed Mathews at third. Grimm has an outfield prob- Baseball Exhibition Games Boston (A) 8. Milwaukee (N) 3 Kansas City (A) 8. Chicago A) 2 Detroit (A) 3. Philadelphia (N) 2 New York (A) 7. St. Louis (N) 4 Washington (A) 6.

With such hard hitters as Ad cock and Mathews in the infield, Grimm is not worried over the fact that none of his regular out fielders hit .300 last year. Roy Smalley, who used to be the regular shortstop with the Cubs, probably will win an in field utility post. tail!
