TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Fanfare
What's the sentiment toward
. holding an umpires' school in
this area? Such a school has
been suggested by Donald E
Faber, president of the Southern
Oregon Baseball League. Accord
ing to the plan, classes would be
held possibly a couple of pights
a week for several weeks. All
men interested in officiating
jobs would be invited to the
classes. Faber reports that a re
tired doctor of Ashland attended
Pacific Coast League umpires
school this year and would be
available as an instructor. Per
sons interested in an umpires'
school should inform this depart
ment. That way it can be de
termined" whether attendance
would be sufficient to make the
program worthwhile.
TOURNEY SUGGESTED
Still appears that the Med
ford Softball association will
not be organized for regular
league play this summer. Sev
eral groups, from what ws'ti
heard, would like to field
learns and even plan to. But,
no person or persons have ap
peared who are both available
and willing to handle the de
tails of operating the circuit.
That's the main reason for
failure to organize. However,
the matter of league financing
figures also as a deterrent.
Ve suggest that, if no
league play develops, a tour
nament should be held in the
late summer. It could be an
invitational affair and some,
service club or civic or fra
ternal group looking for a

GAME MEN ADVISE
Oregon's general trout angling
season begins on Saturday and
the State Game Commission has
some words of advice. A release
this week states:
"When you're out fishing take
time to meditate and remember
future fishing depends ocl your
conduct. True there are 300,
000 other anglers, but in the eyes
of the landowner you are all of
them rolled into one ... You
hold the key to future fishing.
Respect for regulations and the
rights of others will unlock
the door for years to come."
The Commission points out
that Oregon fishermen are for
tunate, for the state, unlike
many others, still has miles of
unpolluted streams and clear
mountain lakes. Also, the varie
ty of fish offered the angler here
is as wide as in any state of the
Union, the commission men
tions.
"Whether this fishing contin
ues, depends largely upon the
anglers themselves," the release
states. "Past acts of vandalism
and disrespect for the rights of
others have closed segments of
Oregon's fishing waters to the
general public. Disregard for the
regulations set up by the Oregon
State Game Commission also
jeopardizes future fish crops and
consequently future fishing."
REGATTA JUNE 5
Western Speedboat associa
tion now has set Sunday, June
5, as date for their regatta at
Emigrant lake. Usually held in
April, the event has been de
layed this year by low level of
water in the reservoir. The WSA
once had set an early May date
but the reservoir now is holding
just a bit more .than half its
capacity.
College of Idaho
Given Confidence
Vote by League
Portland JU.R) College of
Idaho, recently criticized for
overemphasis of athletics, was
given a full vote of confidence

dents' council.
Dr. Harry C. Dillon of Lin-
field, council chairman, said "we
are sure the school's new presi
dent, Dr. Tom Shearer, will fol
low our philosophy and regula
tions in regard to athletics." ,
The decision conference was
made at a closed meeting at
which the Coyotes' status was
considered "more in the light of
the future than .the past, accord

Hoeft Hurls Tigers
Into 2nd Place Tie
By CARL. LUNPQUIST
United Press Sports Writer
The softest job in the major
leagues these days is being a re
lief pitcher for the Detroit Ti
gers. In fact, the whole bullpen
crew may have to apply for un
employment compensation if the
Tiger starters keep up their pres
ent pace. The Detroit pitching
staff, has turned in eight com
plete games, every one a win
ning effort, or more than any
other team in the majors.
Thursday night, lefty Billy.
Hoeft pitched the Tigers to their
fifth straight victory, .4-1, with
a nifty six-hit effort ' over the
Washington Senators.
Detroit, pushing into . a sec
ond place tie with idle f Cleve
land, has won eight games and
lost five. The only defeats were
when the starter failed to go the
distance.
The only club to challenge De
troit's complete game mark is
the Yankees with seven, and one
of these was a defeat. The Phil
lies and Red Sox have six each
to rank next. .
Yanks Trim A's-
In ' other American League
games, Ike Delock pitched the
Red Sox to a three-hit, 3-1 tri
umph over Chicago and : the
Yankees trimmed the Athletics
11-4. Cleveland and Baltimore
had an: open date.
Home runs decided the out
come in three National League
games. Willie-Jones homered in
the ninth, to give Robin Roberts
of the Phils a : six-hit, 3-2 tri
umph over Milwaukee. Carl Fu
rillo's seventh homer with two
on gave Brooklyn a 4-2 win over
the Cubs and Ray " Jabolonski
provided the victory for Cin- J
cinnati by driving in all the
runs with a homer and double
in a 3-2 decision at Pittsburgh.
The Giants topped the Cardinals,
6-4, as reliever Marv Grissom
pitched his way out of two bases
loaded jams.
Furillo's homer,, which put
him nine games ahead of Babe
Ruth's record pace of 1927, came
after Bob Rush had pitched one
hit ball for six innings and had
provided both Chicago runs with
a homer of his own.
Jablonski lived up to his repu
tation of "good-hit,- no-field." Af
ter his homer put Cincy ahead
1-0, he let in a run on a wild
throw, but took himself off the
book with a two-run double that
gave Gerry Staley his second
victory.
Roberts Beat Burdetta
Jones' homer, - his fourth,
broke up a duel between Rob
erts and loser Lew Burdette,
who yielded only four hits. The
Milwaukee hurler beat the Phils
five times without a defeat last
season.' " ,
Grissom held St. Louis to
three hits in 2 2-3 innings to
save Jim Hearn's third victory.
Four Cardinal errors gave the
Giants two unearned runs. Stan
Musial hit a St. Louis homer.
Don Mueller's two hits gave him
the National League batting lead
with a .404 mark.
Delock pitched hitless ball for
six innings in his triumph over
Chicago. Faye Throneberry
paced Boston with a triple, dou
ble, and single, raising his bat
ting average to .412. .
The Yankees made 13 hits in

Zulueta Rise
In Ratings
New York (U.R) Johnny Hol-
man and Orlando Zulueta used
recent upset victories to vault
into prominence in their respec
tive divisions in the latest month
ly ratings released today by Ring
magazine.
Holman, a heavy-fisted Chi
cago fighter who stopped for
mer champion Ezzard Charles
Wednesday night, at Miami
Beach, Fla., has vaulted into fifth
place in the heavyweight divis
ion. He was unranked before his
upset over Charles, who dropped
from fourth to sixth position.
Zulueta was ranked ninth be
fore he pounded out a surprise
split decision over lightweight
champion Jimmy Carter in a
non-title bout at Washington,
April 20. The ringwise Cuban
now is holding down the No. 5
spot in the 135-pound class.
Johnson at Top
In the light heavyweight di
vision, Harold Johnson of Phila
delphia has taken over the top
berth and Floyd Patterson of
Brooklyn is second-ranked. For
mer champion Joey Maxim of
Cleveland dropped from No. ,1
to No. 3 following his defeat at
the hands of middleweight king
Bobo Olson.
Johnny Saxton's upset defeat
by Tony De Marco of Boston
dropped the New Yorker into the
No. 2 spot in the welterweight
division. Carmen Basilio of
Canastota, N.Y., who has a cham
pionship date with De Marco at
Syracuse, June 10, remains the
top challenger.
. Percy Bassett of Philadelphia,
who stopped French champion
Serafin Ferrer last Sunday, once
again is the leading contender
for the featherweight title. He
was the interim champion while
Sandy Sadler was in the Army.
Former challenger Teddy (Red
Top) Davis is now fourth.
LA Angels Use Home Runs
To Defeat Hollywood 4-1
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
The home run-hitting Los An
geles Angels made devastating
use of their favorite play last
night to down Hollywood, 4-1,
and climb to within half a game
of the league-leading Seattle
Rainiers.
Little Ed Winceniak and Steve
Bilko smashed homers to account
for all of the Angel runs and
hoist the team's four-bagger total
to 28, tops in the Pacilic Coast
League.
The biggest Wrigley field
crowd of the year, 10,326, saw
Winceniak give Los Angeles a
1-0 lead in the third by clouting
one of Bob Garber's (1-3) offer
ings over the left field fence. It
was his fourth homer of the
season.
Then in the sixth, Bilko pow
ered one out of the park with
Gene Mauch and Buzz Clarkson
aboard to assure Bob Zick of his
first win after one defeat. It
was Steve's seventh circuit clout
and gave him the league leader
ship. Hollywood's Bobby Del Greco
ran his consecutive-game hitting
streak to 15, a record for the
Stars, with a single in the eighth
inning.
Other Games
Elsewhere in the PCL, S a n
Francisco and San Diego each
rallied for six runs in the ninth
inning to win their games and
climb to one game behind the
front - running Rainiers. The
Seals defeated Oakland, 9-6, and
the Padres topped Seattle, 7-2.
Sacramento at Portland was
rained out, with a doubleheader
slated tonight.

Ashland for the district meet on
May 14. First and second place
winners in the district tiff will
enter the state meet at Corvallis
on May 20 and 21.
Boys on Sick List
So far this season the Medford
aggregation has swept over all
opposition, both in relay and
regular cinder tests. The Tor
nado . will be a heavy, favorite
against the Grizzlies despite in
roads in the Medford squad made

Illness has plagued the Med
