Gerald Darland cracked a ho mer in the sixth inning with the bases empty. Dick Paup hit two for four and Tim Dugan and Ron Pruitt each two for five. Both of Pruitt's wallops were doubles nd drove in three runs. Jones struckout 12 batters and only two balls reportedly were hit out of the infield.

Pitt Makes Bid In Penn Tussle By RUSS GREEN Philadelphia U.R) Pitt makes a mighty bid to regain the track glory of the days of long John Woodruff at the Penn Relays this weekend, and the burden falls on the shoulders of young Arnie Sowell, a slim speedster whose smooth strides can make carnival history. Sowell easily, is the glamor boy of the 61st annual carnival which- has 3,100 entries for the 91 events spaced from Friday afternoon through Saturday. Eight major relay titles will be decided, and 13 individual championships will be run with seven titleholders defending. True to the truckhorse tradi tion of putting a winner to work, Sowell is entered in five events, with three of them major relay championships piled into the final hours of Saturday afternoon. Veterans Punch As Seals Nick Oaks 11-10 By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer Chuck Stevens and Sal Taor mina, two San Francisco veter ans who weren't expected to do much this year, unloaded the big punch in the Seals' 11-10 vic tory over Oakland in. 11 innings last night. Stevens, 37, crashed a three run homer in the top of the 11th to provide the winning margin. He previously had singled for a total of four RBI's. Taormina went four for five, including a two-run homer in the fourth. Stevens is supposed to be the Seals' coach but he has been fill ing in at first base while San Francisco awaits a "player owed by the Philadelphia Phillies. And Taormina had been warming the bench until last Sunday when he replaced the slumping Clarence Maddern in the clean-up spot. Since then he has banged out 10 hits in 16 trips. Bill Bradford (1-0), third Seal pitcher, nearly blew the Emery ville thriller in the bottom of the 11th when the Oaks came back for two runs. But Lennie Neal fouled out to third baseman Joe Kirrene with the bases loaded to end the threat. Johnny Jorgensen, Billy Con- solo and Jim Marshall homered for Oakland, the latter two in the ninth to send the game into extra innings. Elsewhere in the PCL, San Diego's Jim Melton stopped league-leading Seattle's six-game win streak, 6-3, and Los Angeles edged Hollywood, 3-2, in the ninth on Gene Mauch's bases- loaded single. Sacramento and Portland were idle, having played a double- header Tuesday. Washington's birthday is-eele-brated as a legal holiday in every State ' except Idaho and Nevada.

Use Mail Tribune Want Ads Durocher Feels Cold No Excuse For Gomez New York (U.R) Manager Leo Durocher of the New York Giants was angered today over Ruben Gomez' insistence that his early-season pitching failures are caused by cold weather.

Durocher indicated he might skip Gomez's next turn but add ed: "It won't be because I don't think he can pitch in . cold weather, either."

Thursday, April 28, 1953 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Walker Cup Captain Sees Tough Time By BOB MC KOWEN Huntington, W. Va. (U.R) The captain of the United States Walker Cup golf team believes the historic old course at St. An drews, Scotland, may turn out to be a nightmare to the Ameri cans this year. Big Bill Campbell of Hunting ton, W. Va., says the American team will need every day of prac tice it can get on the St. An drews course before the Walker Cup matches begin' May 19. "We plan one day's practice at London and then we'll go to St. Andrews for five more days of practice, all of which I guarantee you we'll need," he said. Campbell, who played on the victorious 1951 and 1953 U. S. Walker Cup teams, said, the Brit ish are "very optimistic." Campbell pointed out that the British will not find many fa miliar faces on the United States team and that "They're not in the habit of giving a great deal of respect to golfers they haven't seen play." The other eight players, in ad dition to Campbell, are Harvie Ward of San Francisco, Billy Jo Patton of Morgahton, N. C; Bruce Cudd and Dick Yost, both of Portland, Ore.; Dale Morey of Indianapolis; Jimmy Jackson of St. Louis; Joe Conrad of San Antonio, Tex.; and Don Cherry of Wichita Falls, Tex.
