Newspaper Page TextSIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Angels Top Padres Twice; Suds Split Pair With By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer Rain cut Sunday's Pacific Coast League schedule in half and the Los Angeles Angels did the same thing with San Diego's defending champions. The Angels got the only two home runs of the PCL afternoon and each was enough to win a ball game. Steve Bilko hammer ed a homer in the 12th inning to give Los Angeles a 5-4 win over the Padres and Buzz Clark son hit for the victory margin in the 3-2 second game. Seattle defeated Hollywood 10 5 in the opener and then lost 2-1 in the nightcap of the only other game. Portland at San Francisco and Oakland at Sacra mento were postponed because of rain. Bilko's game winner was a tremendous 430-foot blast that went out of the park over the center field fence. San Diego had sent the game into extra innings by coming up with two runs in the bottom of the ninth. Turk Lown pitched the final three and two-thirds innings of the opening game and received credit for the win as he gave up only one hit. Then in the second contest Lown again came in from the bull pen to preserve the victory for Joe Kuncl. Clarkson hit his homer with nobody on in the sixth inning to stretch the Angel lead to three runs just what was needed for victory when the Padres came back with two tallies in the bot tom of the frame. Kuncl, Lown and Joe Hatten Shirley Winters Gains Win Over Hunter in Mat Tussfe Mack Lillard announced today that he has signed Jean Elbon arid Shirley Winters to meet Bonnie Baztlett and Gerry Hunter in a tag team wrestling match next Satur day night.

Jerry Jen nings, Ashland, couldn't stay off the hub rail but came in second in the semi. King Louie Shirt 7th in Tourney Fort Wayne, Ind. (U.R) King Louie Shirt of Cleveland, hold ing a chance for the team lead, lost out by 56 points in their bid for the open division lead inthe American Bowling Congress Tournament. Going into the last game last night with a 2043 total, the Cleveland team, needed a 1005 game to supplant the leading team, 620 club of Minneapolis at 3047. But the Shirts wound up with a 994 for a three game total of 2999, putting them in seventh place in the team standings. Stanley Stafancic paced King Louie in its bid with a 620 series. John Petro checked in with a 613. Captain John Klares, who collaborated with . Steve Nagy for the 1954 doubles champion ship, turned in a 612 series. Anchor man Joe Kissoff had a 606. Hollywood held the defending champs to four hits for the seven innings. The double win boosted Los Angeles into a third place tie and left San Diego a game and a half behind the league leading Sacramento Solons. Lanky John Oldham of Seattle scored his third win of the young season in relief in the first game, pitching four hit ball for the five innings he worked. Three Run Splurge The Rainiers won the game with a three run outburst in the eighth inning and then added three more for insurance in the ninth. The second game was a duel between Hollywood's Bob Gar ber and Elmer Singleton of Seat tle. Garber got the win on an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh, set up by a throwing error on the part of Sud short stop Gene Verble. Singleton and Garber each limited the opposition to four hits. LINESCORES: (First Game 12 innings) L. A 100 000 300 0015 13 3 San Diego .. 001 000 102 004 6 0 Stoddard. Hatten 7. Piktuzis 9.

Winters won her victory the hard way, spotting her foe the first fall, and might not have had her hand raised at the and had it not been for a little help from Jean Elbon, herself a classy mat performer, who was acting as Winters' second. Elbon Gives Assistance After Hunter had taken the first fall with a surfboard in 10 minutes and 30 seconds and Win ters had evened the spills in 6:30 with a headlock, Hunter picked the bronc rider up and started to throw her over the top rope. Elbon, standing on the floor out side the ring, reached in arid pulled Hunter's feet from under her. Hunter came down in a heap with Winters on top and Referee Buck Davidson tolled off the necessary three to give Winters the win. Bedlam broke loose in the arena and Yoggi Hussane, who had stopped Man Mountain Dean Jr., earlier in the evening, rushed into the ring to plead that Miss Hunter had been given a bad deal. His pleas fell on deaf ears, however, and the decision was allowed to stand. Dean Outsmarted Hussane, behind one fall, out smarted Dean to even their feud. The big bearded Georgian gained the first fall with shoulder butts and his famed "belly flop" in 14:20. He tried shoulder butts again but Hussane dropped out of the way and Dean went flying through the ropes, landing on his head. He was unable to beat Davidson's count and Hussane was given the fall. Time was 1:50. The Turk was given the de ciding fall when Dean was un able to come back. Cyclone Cobb was hard press ed, much to the surprise of the fans, to take a lone fall verdict over Larry Presnell in the open er. It was a spectacular wrestling match with the Portland police man matching hold for hold with Cobb. Presnell was caught in an abdominal stretch at the 26:50 mark and was unable to get the equalizing fall in the remaining three minutes and 10 seconds. New Opening Day Athletics' Hope Kansas City (U.R) The Kan sas City Athletics may be hop ing for a new "opening day" when they play host to the Cleveland Indians here tonight. Since winning their opening game, 6-2 over Detroit last Tues day, the A's have lost all four games they've played the last three on the road. Sunday they lost both ends of a twin bill to Detroit, 8-3 and 16-0. Southpaw Alex Kellner, who pitched the opening game triumph, was scheduled to try"! it again tonight. ATHLETE OF MONTH New York (U.R) Goalie Ter ry Sawchuk of the Detroit Red Wings, winner of hockey's Stan ley Cup was named today as the "Professional Athlete of the Month" of March in the Hickok poll of sports writers and broadcasters. Monday, April 181955 Dodgers Red Sox By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The unbeaten Brooklyn Dodg ers are making the fastest start the National league has seen in 15 years, while the New York Giants are off to the poorest de fense of the league champion ship since the Cincinnati Red legs blew four straight games to open the 1941 campaign. The Dodgers ran their winning streak to six games with 10-3 and 3-2 victories over the Pitts burgh Pirates Sunday and the Giants' slump mounted to five losses in six games when they dropped a pair of 4-2 decisions to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Dodgers will try for their sev enth straight against the Phillies tonight while the Giants attempt to right themselves in an after noon game-; with the Pirates. The Dodgers' six straight wins gave them the best "getaway streak" in the circuit since they reeled off nine in a row in 1940. That nine straight to open a sea son is the major league record, which they share with the 1944 St. Louis Browns and the 1918 Giants. Since 1940, no N.L. team has started a season with more than five- straight victories. Heavy Hitting The Dodgers blasted out 15 hits, including seven doubles and homers by Duke Snider and Roy Campanella, to win the first game behind Johnny Podres' six hitter and took the nightcap when Clem Labine and Jim Hughes collaborated in another six-hitter. The Phillies, meanwhile, dropped the Giants into a tie for sixth place behind the solid pitching of Robin Roberts and Murry Dickson. Roberts bested Johnny Antonelli in an 11-inning opener decided by Stan Lopata's two-run homer. Dickson then limited the Giants to two soatch hits as Sal Maglie suffered his second loss of the year. Heavy hitting marked most of Sunday's other games, with Al Kaline providing the greatest in dividual outburst. The 20-year-old outfielder hit three homers and became the eighth modern player to hit two in one ining as the Detroit Tigers crushed the Kansas City Athletics, 16-0. Kaline, who drove in six runs hit his first homer in the third inning and added two more dur ing a nine-run rally in the sixth inning. Frank House drove in four runs and Harvey Kuenn knocked in three as Steve Gro mek breezed behind the 15-hit assault', to his second straight win of the new season. . The Boston Red Sox took over undisputed possession of first place in the American league when they outslugged the Bal timore Orioles, 14-5 and 12-9. Catcher Sammy White knocked in three runs with a homer and single in the opener and drove in four more in the nightcap. Faye Throneberry, Jackie Jen sen and Ted Lepcio also homered for the Red Sox during the six hour and . 17-minute blood-letting. Ten-Run First Inning The St. Louis Cardinals bowed to the Chicago Cubs, 6-5, in their opener but then unleashed the biggest single rally of the day a 10-run first inning to win the second game, 14-1. Frank Baum holtz's single climaxed a two-run rally in the ninth inning of the first game. Larry ,Jackson was the beneficiary of the second game outburst, turning in a four hitter in his major league'debut. In the other National league activity, Ted Kluszewski singled home the winning run with two out in the ninth inning to give the Cincinnati Redlegs a 6-5 tri umph . after the Milwaukee Braves won the opener 10-1. Kluszewski, Ed Bailey and Wal ly Post homered in the second game after Warren Spahn spun a nine-hitfer for his second win for the Braves in the opener. Bob Lemon's five - hitter en abled the Cleveland Indians to score a 4;2 win after the Chi cago White Sox won their first game, 3-1, behind Jack Harsh man's five-hitter and the Wash ington - Senators beat the New York Yankees 7-3r with the aid of two run homers by Micky Vernon and Roy Sievers in the other American league games.

It was "just like playing in mud" on Hay ward field, the head cinder mentor reported, adding that the field was in the worst condition that he's seen it because of rains last week. Temperature was rather low and the wind blew and rain fell all day, according to the Coach. Pole vault, broad jump and high jump were moved under cover in the unfinished area at the north end of Mc Arthur court but shot putters worked out doors in the mire. EXCELLENT JOB Newland was reluctant to single but any one man on Medf ord's winning relay crews, saying that they all did a "real exceptional job." Lead off men in the races picked up leads and the others held them. Jeff Williams ran a 2:02 half-mile in his opening lap of the two-mile relay and was ahead by 50 yards. Dan Morris was in front by 45 yards at the end of his lap of the mile relay and Wally Larson set the pace in the shuttle hurdles. FRANCIS MEETS HELD Eldon Franics, Medford's win ning javelin thrower, had an opportunity to meet and talk to Bud Held, world champion spear tosser. The Medford tracksters have had correspondence with Held but it was Francis's first opportunity to meet the champ personally. Held threw the jav elin in the afternoon, flinging it some 262 feet, HVa inches, close to his-record , 263-11 cast. Held wore football shoes on the wet turf. - - MIF0tUTRIBUNl Bingham Hurls Javelin 204 Feet, Moad Puts Shot 49 in UO Meet Eugene (U.R) Six meet records and one school mark fell Saturday as University of Ore gon won all 15 events and de feated Idaho 103-27 in a North ern Division dual track .meet here.

BINGHAM GETS TIPS Ed Bingham, ex-Medf ord high javelin heaver now performing in the same event for U of O, had an instruction session Sat urday, with World Champion Bud , Held. Bingham, who was the nation's best prepper in 1953 with a toss over 193 feet, has now passed 200 feet for the Ducks. Jack Moad, state cham pion shot putter for Medford in 1953 and an All-American along with Bigham, is flirting with 50feetwiththel6-poundball which is- four pounds heavier than the high school shot. Bud Held, holder of the world record in the javelin throw, toss- ed the spear 262 feet 9 inches in an exhibition during the meet, just 13 inches short of his all time best. , Meet record throw in the jave lin for University of Oregon by Ed Bingham, ex-Medford high, in the track meet with Idaho Sat urday was 204 feet five inches.

SEE GEORGE LEWIS At ROGUE TRAVEL SERVICE A FREE SERVICE We Reserve and Sell Airline and Steamship Tickets LOSSY HOTEL JACKSON PHONE 2-6779 Homers Fail To Excite Al Kaline By LLOYD NORTHARD Detroit (U.R) It takes more than three home runs in a game two of them in one . inning to excite bonus baby Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. . The 20-year-old outfielder who was playing high school ball at Baltimore, Md., Southern less than two years ago exploded three round-trippers against the Kansas City Athletics Sunday in a 16-0 Detroit rout. Two of the home runs came in a nine-run sixth inning, equal ling a modern major league rec ord shared previously by seven players Andy Seminick, Sid Gordon, Joe DiMaggio, Ken Wil liams, Bill Regan, Lewis Wilson and Hank Lieber. But the always quiet Kaline, who hit only four homers all last season, showed little emotion. "The best day of my life," he said as a matter of course. "I guess I'm hitting the ball better this year because I've got more confidence than I had last sea son." With three home runs and a single, Kaline drove in six runs and hiked his batting average to a whopping .560 for the first six games of the campaign. He's collected 14 hits in 25 times at bat, six of them for extra bases, and has chased a dozen runners home. The 6-foot, 1-inch, 175-pounder hit .276 and batted in only 43 runs in 1954. Snead Wins Greensboro Greensboro, N. C (U.R) Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, W. Va owns his fifth Greens boro Open golf championship to day by displaying again the mas tery over the local links that has earned this event the nickname "Snead's Tournament." The veteran pro overtook young Art Wall Jr., of Pocono Manor, Pa., on the front nine of the final round but escaped go ing into, extra holes only when Wall rimmed .the cup with i four-foot putt on the 18th green Snead took the hole, the match, and $2,200 first prize money in the $12,500 tourna- ment with the birdie four and a 54-hole total of 273. Wall, in the lead from the opening round, lost the title as he shot his first above par round, a one-over 71. His 274 left him a tie "with Julius Boros'of Mid Pines, N. C. for second place. National Open champion Ed Furgol, who tied for first in the opening round, blew up with two plus-par rounds to finish in the equivalent of 11th place at 282. Bad Throw Ends Fox's Hot Streak Chicago (U.R) A wild throw on Bob Lemon's grounder in the second inning of Sunday's dou ble-header between the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland In dians has snapped the fielding streak compiled by second base man Nellie Fox of the Sox. Fox had gone 40 straight games without an error, handl ing 185 straight chances. How ever, the alltime record for con secutive cnances witnout an error is 414, set by Bobby Doerr of the Boston Red Sox in 1948. Chicago Trades Get Punch Sought Chicago (U.R) The Chicago White Sox winter trading in order to add home run punch is looking good so far. So far the Sox have collected four homers this season all by players obtained from the De troit Tigers during the winter. Bob Nieman has belted three, his third leading Chicago to a 3- 1 win over Cleveland in Sun day's opening game of a double header. Walt Dropo has one, a grand-slam that won Saturday's game against Detroit, 4-3. SIDES PROBABLE CHUCICER FOR TORNADO AGAINST GP Duane Sides probably will open on the mound for Medford high Tuesday when the Black Tornado travels to Grants Pass for a Southern Oregon Confer ence and District 6 A-l baseball conflict. Both clubs go into the after noon scuffle unbeaten in the loop and the winner will take over undisputed lead. Grants Pass has four victories behind it and Med ford has won three times. Med ford's chance to be even with GP in number of triumphs was weathered ou$ Saturday. Rain prevented second game of a doublebill with Klamath Falls. Grants Pass, because of its vets back from last year's dis tict title team, was favorite when the season started and is still the team to beat. However, close scores in most of the tussles in circuit, so far, indicate that the Tornado has a fine chance in Ivan Harringtons Have Low Net In First Mixed Two-Bail Match Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Harrington took low net honors yesterday in the first mixed two-ball golf foursome tourney of the season at Rogue Valley Country club.
