The Tornado bounced Crater high 8 t-j 2 m the conflict for its second win of the week end over the Com ets. Medford was leading 8 to going into the final panel. Mor ton Gossett, first man up for Crater, flied out, Kay Kelley, drew a base on balls. Then South struck out, putting Mc Cuilough only one out away from a no-hitter. It was spoiled, however, when Donn Johnson rapped the ball ti Gordon Owsley at shortstop .tnhnsnn was ruled safe on a close play at first and credited with a single. Medfordites said after the tussle that Johnson stepped on Ed Reinking's shoe as the first baseman caught the ball. Tonn Gets Wallop Harvey Tonn followed John son's hit with a two-bagger to bring in one run. Another scored on a Medford muff. Medford gained one run in the first inning on bingles by Dale McKay and Larry Perkins and a wild pitch. Seven more crossed the plate in a big foruth canto.

Piling up all its runs in the first four innings and surviving a shaky fifth frame, the Medford high baseball aggregation sub dued Crater 6 to 4 here Friday. A triple by Paul Eckel and home run by Larry Gober, swat ted back to back in the fourtn canto, three hits in three times up by Ed McCuilough and two for three batting by Lorin Jac obs were highlignts as the Black Tornado posted its first victory of the season. Crater got all its runs in the fifth. The Comets collected only three hits to Medford's eight but combined two of them with er ratic Tornado play for their counters. The Medfordites got right to work for two runs in the first inning. They combined singles by McCuilough, Ed Reinking and Jacobs with two passed balls, a double steal and a walk. Jacobs was caught trying to steal second in the frame, but when Paul Eckel led off to swipe the same base, Crater attention on him allowed Reinking to score. Eckel also was safe. Medford got a run without a hit in the third stanza. Mc Cuilough walked, stole second and was sacrificed to third by Jim Owsley. Reinking's sacri fice fly enabled the tally. Eckel led off with his high, deep triple in the' fourth inning. Gobber followed with the cir cuit clout which rolled through the gate of the fence back of centerfield. It wound up on the pavement outside the fence. Af ter that Gordon Owsley walked, went to second on Terry King's sacrifice and scored a third run on McCullough's third bingle. Pitcher Ken Piland held the Comets under control for four innings, keeping them hitless and allowing only two walks. He tired in the fifth, however, and was tagged for two hits and is sued two bases on balls. A field er's choice, a passed ball and an error helped the Comets and Cascade Lawn & 1228 N.

(U.R) Young Chico Vejar, buoyed by his second straight victory over former challenger Billy Graham, today was hunting bigger game in the welterweight division including newly crowned champ ion Tony De Marco. - . Although admittedly a little fat and sluggish, Vejar jabbed his way to a unanimous 10-round decision over Graham Friday night only minutes before De Marco won the 147-pound title from Johnny Saxton at Boston. Vejar enjoyed both a big age and weight advantage over Gra ham, and he exploited both to the hilt. The 23-year-old Stam ford, ' Conn., . fighter weighed 154 Vz pounds, while 32-year-old Graham scaled 149V4. Graham staged a mild rally in the eighth round when he stopped Vejar in his tracks with several rights to the head and body. But that was the New York Irishman's only sustained attack of the fight. Boat Races Postponed Western Speedboat associa tion's annual regatta, which had been set tentatively for April 10 at Emigrant lake, has been postponed until May, Commodore Mel McGrew said yesterday.

The association will meet on Monday and a definite date for the races may be set at that time. McGrew reported.

There is a "gentlemen's agree ment" for the winner to meet Carmen Basilio, April 29 for a title match but it isn't on paper. Another part of the "unwrit ten agreement" has the winner of the De Marco-Basilio fight giving Saxton another try at the title he held for five short months. Got Careless Saxton swiped the champion ship from Kid Gavilan in a con troversial Philadelphia decision last October and he said he got "careless" last night trying to prove he really was a champion. Saxton, shaking off the after effects of a terrific beating from his under-rated (1-2) opponent, wasn't quite sure if the oppor tunity at another 15-round cham pionship bout was in prospect. He wanted to prove that the critics were wrong that his vie- j tory over Gavilan was a "home- j town decision" but he forgot the battle at hand. He proved the j point he could fight but he lost I in doing it. , j De Marco, meanwhile, was a i happy, bleeding, and almost-ex- j hausted champion the first in j Boston in 10 years after his ! first chance at the pot of gold. He said "it was the toughest and best fight I ever fought" but ! he wasn't quite sure if he'd like to try it again as soon as April Tornado Shows Well Dn Cinder Encounter A flashy :51.1 quarter-mile by Medford runner Don Crow! was the afternoon highlight as the Black Tornado and Grants Pass high matched thinclads in a dual track and field engagement here yesterday afternoon.
