TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON)
Rose burg Replacing Brookings
En SO Semi-Pro Baseball League
Roseburg will have a team in
the semi-pro Southern Oregon
Baseball League, after all. Loop
President Donald E. Faber said
yesterday that the Umpqua val
ley community will replace
Brookings In the circuit-.
Faber's announcement came
on the heels of a Monday report
that efforts to finance a Rose
burg club had failed.
On Tuesday, however. Hal
Zurcher, one of the leaders of
the movement in the Douglas
county metropolis, applied for
admission to the circuit. He in
dicated that sirfficent backing
had been found. On Wednesday
Faber received notice from
Brookings that it would not field
a team in the loop this year.
Letters To Confirm
The president said that no
leaeue meeting is planned to
consider the Roseburg applica
tion. Members of the circuit
confirmation.
Verbal acceptance of Rose
burg was given by five loop
clubs. Drain officials could not
be contacted. Written approval
is virtually certain. There was
an effort earlier this year to in
terest Roseburg entry.
Roseburg will oppose league
foes on dates previously asign-
ed to Brookings. That means no
reshuffling of league and non-
league slates by other members
is necessary. There are still only
seven clubs in the circuit. The
others are Medford. Grants Pass,
Drain, Bend, Coquille and Ban
don.

This Must Be News
Willie Mays Drops Fly
New York (U.R) This
must be news because it never
happened before.
Willie Mays dropped a fly
ball Wednesday.
.The Giant outfielder, who
has had much criticism heap
ed upon him for his "bread
basket" style of catching flies,
muffed a high one right out
of his glove off the bat of
Cub infielder Ernie Banks,
who took second on the tr
ior. What's more Mays went hit
less in five times at bat.

As of today Medford and
Grants Pass high schools were
all even in the quest for the
Southern Oregon Conference
and District 6 A-l baseball flags.
Ed McCullough stole home for
the winnig run yesterday as
Medford pulled even with the
Cavemen at Grants Pass. The
marker gave Medford a 4 to 3
nod. Each club now boasts a
five-win one-loss record with
half its loop and district sched
ule complete.
The Black Tornado trailed
the GP nine 0 to 2 after three
innings but tallied two runs in
the fourth inning and one in
the top of the sixth to take a
brief 3 to 2 lead. Grants Pass
tied the count at 3-all during its
sixth - inning batting turn.
In the seventh inning, after
Jim Putney grounded out, Mc
Cullough singled. First Base
man Raleigh Burr managed
only to deflect the ball. McCul
lough got to second on a wild
pitch. On the dash to the plate
the pitch was too poor to al
low Catcher Al Drews to make
a play on the Medford hurler.
Sides Relieves
Over six-inning route. Pitch
er McCullough had limited the
Cavemen to six hits while
whiffing three and walking
two. However, after his base
running, he was relieved by
fDuane Sides for the bottom of
the seventh. And the reliever
came through as GP went down
on a groundout, strikeout and
pop out. Putney at third base
made a fine stop and throw to
first on the grounder to help
the chucker.
Chuck Nevi's double and Don
James' single gave Grants Pass
a run in the first inning. In the
second Bill Mendenhall got to
second when Rightfielder Paul
Eckel dropped his fly ball. Nevi
singled Mendenhall home.
In the fourth inning Lorin
Jacobs of Medford drew a walk.
Eckel got on base on a grounder
and Shortstop Nevi threw wild
to second base, allowing Jacobs
to go to third. Jim . Owsley
singled down the third base line
to score one run and Eckel went
to second. Larry Perkins forc
ed Owsley at second with two
out and Eckel scored on a
double steal try. Pitcher Men
denhall whirled to throw Per
kins out and the bad heave
bounced off ' Second Baseman
Joe Carson's glove and into cen
ter field.
Misses Base
In the sixth inning for the Tor
nado j aeons walked but was
forced by Eckel. Bob Mays went
in to run for Eckel. Then Ows
ley failed to tag second and was
out.
For GP in the ' sixth . Burr
singled by was forced by Carson.
The latter scored when May's
dropped Bob Gay's long fly in
right field.
First Baseman Dick McLaugh
lin and Catcher Owsley did most
of the hitting for Medford. Mc
Laughlin got three of Medford's
six hits in four times up and
Owsley hit two for three.

The resort cannot be open

Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Morris re

of melting were yesterday,
Morris stated. He indicated
that three or four warm sunny
days will be needed to melt
the ice sufficiently. However,
he added, a warm rain may
speed the thaw.
The Morrises said that they
will get word to anglers as

Larry Presnell
To Be One of
On Saturday
Larry Presnell of the Portland
police department has been
named by the Medford State Ath
letic commission and Promoter
Mack Lillard to referee next Sat
urday night's wrestling card at
Merrick's arena. Presnell, who
has refereed a number of match
es here this spring, is popular
with the fans as an arbiter and
gets along well with most of the
wrestlers, with the exception
of Gerry Hunter and Yoggi Hus
sane. Another referee also will
be selected in an effort to keep
some semblance of order.
That feud will probably be re
newed when Hunter and Hus
sane collide with Bonnie Bart
lett and Champ Thomas in the
mixed tag match headlining the
card." It will be a no-time-limit
affair, a return engagement of
their wild arid exciting brawl
which ended in a draw last week.
Although the fans last week
were somewhat dubious regard
ing a mixed match, the first ever
held here, it turned into a first
class donnybrook and next Sat
urday's clash is expected to be
even wilder.
Interest also is running high
in the two preliminary bouts es
pecially the semi-windup. It pits
rough and tough Logger Porter,
who displayed a lot of skill and
strength, as well as rough stuff,
last week, against Cyclone Cobb,
who also is exceptionally strong
and one of the better matmen in
Lillard's stable.

Brooklyn Dodgers Coj
1 7th Victory; Finally
Impress Card Skipper
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Those amazing Brooklyn
Dodgers made a believer out of
even Eddie Stanky today.
' Stanky, who refused to be im
pressed by "all those stories I've
been reading about Brooklyn,"
couldn't help but be influenced
by the 12-4 beating the Dodgers
handed his Cardinals in the first
meeting of the season between
the two clubs Wedensday night.
The fiery little Cardinal man
ager, skeptical about all those
recent reports on Brooklyn's
power, glumly saw the evidence
for himself as Gil Hodges, Duke
Snider and Roy Campanella
each exploded homers in the
Dodgers' 17th victory in 19
games.
Southpaw Johnny P o d r e s
wasn't quite so spectacular in
giving up nine Cardinal hits, in
cluding homers by Rip Repulski
and Ken Boyer, but he was good
enough to register his second
victory and pitch Brooklyn's
eighth complete game of the
young season.

After Licking Oaks
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Steve Bilko's slugging and
Turk Lown's relief pitching car
ried Los Angeles to a 9-6 vic
tory over Oakland last night
in an 11-inning thriller that left
the Angels only one game out
of first place in the Pacific
Coast league.
Bilko, PCL home run leader,
smashed one of the longest hom
ers ever seen in the Emeryville
park for his ninth of the season
in the seventh inning. It soared
over the 20-foot centerfield
fence 400 feetfrom home plate.
Gene Mauch was. on base and
the blow tied the score. :
The ex-Cardinal first sacker
came through again in the top
of the 11th when he doubled
home Hal Rice to break the tie.
The Angels added two more
runs in that inning off Fred
Besana (0-3). .
Lown turned in another sterl
ing relief performance, holding
the Oaks to one hit and striking
out two in the 2 1-3 innings he
worked. It was the 30-year-old
champion was the master all the
way. '
Panter, the raw-boned Salt
Lake City steelworker who
weighed 161U, didn't land an
other damaging blow during the
fight and absorbed steady pun
ishment although avoiding a
knockdown.
Maximum Points
Referee Lou Jallos and Judge
Bill Appleton awarded the 35-
year-old Robinson the maximum
100 points possible under Michi
gan's 10 point must scoring sys
tem while giving Panter only 77
points. The third official, Judge
Al Goodman, scored the bout
99-81 for Robinson.
Robinson said the showing
against Panter, 10 years his jun
ior, was by far his best in five
fights since he came out of re
tirement in January. -
Robinson has suffered only
one setback during his comeback
attempt, a 10-round decision to
Ralph (Tiger) Jones. He wants
another crack at Jones to avenge
his defeat.
