Beavers Defeat Washington 9-0; WSC Trips Idaho By UNITED PRESS Three Northern division base ball teams sported spotless rec ords today but lowly Idaho was still looking for its first victory of the year. Washington State handed Idaho its seventh straight loss, 12-6, at Moscow, Ida., yesterday, and Oregon State college pinned the fifth straight defeat on the University of Washington Hus kies, 9-0, at Corvallis. Lefty Al Guidotti tossed four- hit ball as OSC had an easy time with the Huskies. He whiffed even, pitched to but 31 batters, while all of his mates hit safely with the exception of outfielder Jerry Exley. OSC wrapped it up with six runs in the third. WSC tallied five runs in the third and added six more in the seventh with the help of some leaky Idaho fielding. . WSC and Oregon each have 3-0 slates with OSC right behind at 2-0. Washington is now 4-5 after four victories at the start of the season and Idaho has dropped seven without a vic tory. BRUINS WORK OUT Los Angeles (U.R) It look ed like a Time Square subway jam today as the Pacific confer ence champion UCLA football Bruins worked out in spring practice. Coach Red Sanders greeted a squad of 71 players when they turned out for the first drill.

The decision, Crater's fifth straight against no setbacks in the circuit, also gave the Com ets the District 6 A-2 southern division title in the state pen nant race. Crater capitalized on some fine relief pitching by Fred Herrman and wildness on the part of IV Hurler Jim Eggers in the seventh and final inning. Eggers walked in the winning tally. Lyman Stubb's single and a two base error in center field on the hit set up the Comets first run in the second inning. Stubbs got all the way to .third base in the action. He scored on a ground out by Ken Bailey. In the seventh inning Eggers was hit by a pitch by Crater's Fred Hogue. An error followed on Howard Pickle's ground ball. Then Mellow doubled allowing Eggers to reach the plate. With men on second and third bases and no one out Crater Coach Clarence Mellbye called Herr man to the hill. The reliefer struck out three consecutive batters to retire the side without further damage. Harold Lefler walked as the Comets batted in the seventh. Hogue, still in the game, bunt ed and was safe on a wild throw to first base. Harvey Tonn walk ed and Mel Harsh got another base on balls to push over the victory counter. Hogue fanned two, walked three and hit one batter. He gave up just hree hits. Herrman had the three strikeouts to show. Eggers allowed only four hits and whiffed eight batters but walked seven. The Comets were to have a non-league fracas at Klamath Falls today. They are tentative ly slated to play a Rogue league make-up mix at Phoenix on Fri day. With only the Phoenix mix to play in the league and subdis trict, the Comets can't be caught in the race. Eagle Point, new in second spot, has lost twice. Crater also has won the Rogue football and basketball mantles this school year. In the northern baseball sub district Sutherlin leads the Um qua Valley league with 2 wins and no defeats.

PROMPT DELIVERY Mc Andrews Road Phone 2-5271 Akins Nabs Upset Over Ron Delaney New York (U.R) Virgil Akins "up and down" career def initely was on the upgrade today and the St. Louis welterweight was calling for a title shot in the wake of Lis upset of heavily favored Ronnie Delaney. Akins, who had lost 1 of his previous 39 professional fights and who entered the ring a 4-1 underdog Monday night, knocked out Delaney at 2:41 of the eighth round in their widely televised bout at at Nicholas Arena. Akins weighed 146 V2 and Delany 1493i. Wants Top Bout Akins' manager, Eddie Ya witz, immediately announced he wanted Virgil to be rewarded with a match with champion Tony De Marco, Carmen Basilio "or some other top contender." Delaney, who had suffered only one previous loss In 53 pro fights, battled on even terms with Akins through the first seven rounds. But the end came quickly in the eighth when Akins landed a left to the chin and followed with a right that sent Delaney to the canvas on his back. , Delaney of Akron, Ohio was counted out in that position by Referee Barney Felix. Second Upset Felix and Judge Bert Grant had Akins ahead, 4-3, in rounds but Judge Artie Schwartz had it 3-1. Among rihgsiders there was considerable sentiment fo Delaney. In an "unset" of milder pro portions, lightweight Tony Pu leo of Brooklyn, a 17-5 under dog, fought to a 10-round draw with Carmelo Costa, also of Brooklyn, at the Eastern Park way Arena. Puleo weighed 134 pounds to Costa's 13214. Costa was rewarded for his showing by being given a main event bout against Lulu Perez at Madison Square Garden, May 27. Tuesday, May S, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NIKE Bragan Makes Farce of Hustle Program; Uses Eight Pinch Hitters for One Man BY SCOTT BAILIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (U.R) Bobby Bragan threatened to turn the Pacific Coast league's "hustle program" into a funeral march today and President Claire Goodwin anxiously awaited an umpire's report on the Holly wood manager's latest shennani gans. Bad Boy Bobby added some thing new to baseball on Sun day by sending up eight pinch hitters to the plate for one pitch apiece while they batted en masse for southpaw hurler Lino Donoso. This soap opera was pulled off in the ninth inning of the first game of a double head er between the last place Stars and Los Angeles. Hollywood lost both games. Bragan explained afterward that he produced this marathon to express his displeasure at the Sacramento Hurler Tops Coast League San Francisco (U.R) Sixteen pitchers sported undefeated rec ords today in the Pacific Coast League but actual leadership be longed to southpaw Bud Daley of Sacramento who topped the loop in four wins while losing two. Among those pitching ,1.000 were John Briggs of the So'ir"-. and Bob Kelly arrd John Oldham of Seattle, who nau una umphs apiece. Bob Coats, husky outfield" with the Las Angeles Angels, swatted a gaudy .421 to lead the batters after tne lirst .noa.u play. And belting the ball right be hind him was teammate Steve Bilko, who set the pace in home runs with eight. umpires. He had officially pro tested the game over a call in the fourth inning. "I must say his action was a unique thing," the puzzled Good win declared today. "But I can't make any comment until Um pire Don Flecky's report reach es me." And what about the hustle program bogging down during the ninth frame? "Humm." Goodwin mused. "I guess that depends on how fast those eight batters came and went from the plate." The fledgling president, who had predicted . that his loop would draw 3,000,000 or better this season, also was somewhat perplexed by the weather. 1 Unofficial figures show that 88,628 came out to the PCL parks last week, quite a few below the weekly standard of 111,000 the loop would have to maintain for that 3,000,000 figure. Three games were washed out, two of them in Portland. More Interest "It's too early to say whether I'll have to revise my prediction or not," Goodwin said. "But I still think there is a lot more interest in the league thanhere was last year and I'm sure at tendance will improve when we get a break on the weather." League leading Seattle, which has played .786 ball in its last 14 contests, takes a four game winning streak into sagging Sa cramento. The Los Angeles Ang els, one game off the pace and bolstered by heavy hitting Steve Bilko, invade Oakland while Portland meets : slumD-ridden San Diego iri bordertown and Bragan s Stars host San Fran cisco. Bragan and his young ball club are trapped in a five-game losing streak while San Diego has dropped four straight.
