TEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, April 15, 1955 Sugar Ray Haits Olla !n 3rd Round Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson said he was ahead of schedule on his comeback trail today. His manager said he would file for reinstatement of Robinson's world middleweight title. Robinson rocked "Wisconsin middleweight champion Ted Olla into technical submission in 2:15 of the third round Thurs day night in a flash of the form which made him the world's greatest fighter, pound for pound. But little could be indicated as to future greatness by the class of competition. Robinson said the victory was the biggest thrill since his first fight after coming out of retirement. Timing Satisfies "I'm most statisfied with the timing on my combination," he said, "m as satisfied as I could be with my timing after 31 months out of the ring. Trie experienced, 34-year-old Robinson caught the 24-year-old Olla with the suddeness of a thunderstorm at the opening of the third round after a relatively inactive first two rounds. He came out with an explosion of rights and lefts, staggering Olla hardest with a key right. Then he put Olla down for the mandatory eight count with a hard left. Olla was up at four but he might as well have stayed down. Robinson poured into him with blows from all directions, but was unable to put him down a'gain. There was little doubt the fight should be stopped so Refe ree Dauber Jaeger stopped it.

Medford high's baseball var sity will seek its third and fourth victories in the Southern Ore gon Conference Saturday when it entertains Klamath union high school in a doubleheader. First game will get underway at the Tornado diamond at 1 p.m. The twinbill is rated a toss up. Klamath's Pelicans come here after suffering two losses to Grants Pass in the league and one to Crater in non-loop con tention. While Medford has a pair of wins over Crater, it isn't figuring the Pels as a cinch. Klamath's loss to the Comets, as well as those to GP, were by nar row margins. Grants Pass is rated favorite in the SO circuit. Reports from Klamath Falls are that the weather has given the Pels little opportunity for adequate workout. Attitude of the Black Tornado is to regard the Pelicans as a club with a good potential and one which will improve much as the sea son progresses. McCullough Picked Medford Coach Alex McDon ald said that Ed McCullough like ly will be the Tornado pitcher in the first game with either Ken Piland or Duane Sides going in the wind-up. He listed Terry King as probable catcher. Tentative batting order for the first mix has Ed Reinking in the line-up at first base, Jim Ows ley at second, Dick McLoughlin at shortstop, Lorin Jacobs in left field, Paul Eckel in right field, Larry Gober at third base, Bob Mays or Pete Young in center field, King as catcher and Mc Cullough as pitcher. In the second scrape McCul lough likely will be in center field and batting in the lead off spot. Reinking will be placed seventh in the order. D'Olivo Likely Dave D'Olivo and Earl Tiche nor are expected to get the hill duty for Klamath with Modesto Jiminez and Bob Kelley sharing the catching. Possible infield starters are Bill Hamblin, first base; Jerry Burke, second base; Butch Kimpton, shortstop; Ron Conner, third base, and Dave Leelin, Don Taucher and Graig McCarty, outfielders. Present indications are that the conference and district race among Medford, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Ashland will be a tight one this year since most of the games played so far have been close. Klamath looms as a club with good batting power once it gets in swing. It's pitching potential looks strong for the race. While the Pelican and Torna do baseball teams are in action the varsity tennis team also will be contending here. Winters-Hunter Tangle Has Ear-Marks of Grudge Match Shirley Winters of Chicago, a rodeo trick rider during the summer and a pretty fair wresl- ler the rest of the year, will take on Gerry Hunter at Merrick's area tomorrow night in a bout which has all the ear-marks of a first class grudge affair. They will go for 30 minutes or two out of three falls. It all started two weeks ago when they wrestled to a draw. Miss Winters has smarted ever since over Hunter's foul tactics used in that match and has been after a return date. Last week Winters, a specta tor, went to the aid of Jean El bon when Hunter threw her out of the ring and a top notch brawl ensued among the first two rows of rlngsiders between Winters and Hunter. The blonde bomber got the worst of it and consented to the rematch in or der to get Winters in the ring again wrhere she promises to really dish it out this time. Another return engagement pits Yoggi Hussane against Man Mountain Dean Jr. in which Hus sane will attempt to avenge last week's disqualification for foul tactics. Dean, on the other hand, plans to repay Hussane, with in terest, for the rough treatment Larry Presnell, who has been refereeing recently, gets his wish for a match when he goes against Cyclone Cobb in the opener, set for 8:30 p.m. Both men's matches will be for 40 minutes or the best of three falls. Tickets are on sale at Rogue restaurant, 42 South Central ave., and will be available at the door, which opens at 7:30.

C LININGER & SONS Fine Future Likely for Herb Score By NORMAN MILLER New York (U.R) Young Herb Score is headed for just as bright a career as Bob Feller, says Coach Freddie Fitzsimmons of the New York Giants, who j was around when both Cleve-( land Indians fireballers reported for their first spring training. "Score throws the ball as hard as any left-hander I've evec seen," said Fitzsimmons, a star pitcher in his own right for 19 major leagus season. "The only thing that could give him trou ble is control. And at that, he's probably better off than Feller was at the same period of their careers." "Fat Freddie" was a Giants siarter back in 1936 when Fel ler joined the Indians as a 17-year-old "boy wonder" right off an Iowa farm. Fitzsimmons had a chance to observe Feller dur ing the Giants Indians exhibi tion tour that spring, just as he cid Score this year. Has Tremendous Speed "Score has tremendous speed" Fitzsimmons said, "and he has a good curve, too. His curve bail could be improved, but it's good. When he gets that good control, he should become a great pitcher." Fitzsimmons recalled that Fel ler had a great deal of trouble with his control when he first came up, and that it took him a few seasons to conquer his wild r.ess. Fitzsimmons agreed that 21-year-old Score has an advantage in that he came up to the majors with three years of minor league experience, where as Feller never spent a day In the minors. UO Teams Begin North Division Title Defenses Corvallis (U.R) Today's Northern Division baseball open er between Oregon and Oregon State here was postponed be cause of wet grounds. Beaver Coach Ralph Coleman said it was hoped the game could be made up with a doubleheader at Eugene tomorrow. University of Oregon, Eugene Oregon's three Northern Divi sion defending champions open their quest of the 1955 titles this Saturday with action on their home grounds. Coach Don Kirsch's baseball squad, twice pennant winners in as many years, tackle Oregon State in a home and home series, Coach Bill Bowerman's power ful track team meets Idaho and Coach Sid Milligan's perennial title winners meet Washington : in golf. There is more than an even chance the baseball action will fall victim to the long siege of rain and be postponed until the teams meet in May. If the series escapes the weather, Bill Blodg ett and Bill Garner will prob ably get the opening pitching assignments. Maddox May Start The Webfoot infield of Dick Schlosstein, Jim Johnson, John ny Keller and Pete Williams is back intact from last year and the outfield will have Jerry Ross in left, the incomparable George Shaw in center and either Terry Maddox or Jim Pingree in right. Neil Marlett will again do the catching. Game time here Sat urday is 1 p.m. The Webfoot trackmen are again strong in the flat races, have some additional strength in the field events and are again weak in the hurdles and the discus. The Husky golfers will find the Ducks tough again with Neil Dwyer and Bob Takano back from last year and Barry Ott and Bob Norquist to lead a fine group of sophomores.
