Crater
Ed McCuilough Shines
A scratch single in the sev
enth inning robbed MeJford
High Pitcher Ed McCuilough of
a no-hit no-run baseball victory
yesterday In his first mound
start of the season. 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. Lorin Jacobs tripled and
singled during the inning and
Larry Gober, Gordon Owsley,
Terry King and McKay hit
safely. Two fielder's choices and
a walk helped out.
McCuilough whiffed 11 bat
ters and walked five. Fred Her
mann, Crater starting hurler, al
lowed eight hits in four innings,
six in the fourth. He struck out
four men and walked two Re
liever Lyman Stubbs allowed
one hit and had two strikeouts.
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

cue helped Crater to another
marker before a ground out and
flyout retired the side.
Ken Bailey and Harvey Tonn
got the hits. Johnson got the
other Crater bingle in the sev
enth inning but a Tornado
double play ended the contest.
Medford had men on second
and third bases with one out
in the fifth inning but a strike
out and foul out ended the
threat. Crater put a man on third
in the fourth.
Kay Kelley went the distance
on the mound for Crater, along
with the eight hits he fanned
seven batters and walked four
men in six innings. Piland fan
ned three and walked four over

Chico Vejar
Bout Victor
Syracuse, N. Y. (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.
Low level of water in the
reservoir necessitated p o s 1
ponement. It is hoped thai
April rains will raise the level
of the lake.
The association will meet on
Monday and a definite date
for the races may be set at
that time. McGrew reported.

Archie Moore To
Take Physical

San Francisco U.R) The
California State Athlete com
mission announced that world
light heavyweight champion Ar
chie Moore would undergo' a
physical Monday in an attempt
to regain his California license.
The examination will be held
in the commission office here
with both commission and pri
vate medical specialists in at

last March 24 by the commission
when a commission doctor rul
ed the 38-year-old champion had
"an organic heart condition."
The condition came to light
when Moore, who now weighs
well over the light heavyweight

undergoing a routine physical

take on any comers for the title
he took Friday night from
Johnny Saxton in a 14th round
technical knockout.
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
