Takes Lead
In Colonial
By ED FITE
Fort Worth, Tex. (U.R)
Chandler Harper, who builds golf
courses and golf clubs as part of
his 21-year career as a touring
tournament golfer, usually is re
garded as a "pitch and putt" man
in tourney play.
His last two tournament tri
umphs 14 months apart were
in the 1954 Texas Open and the
Virginia Beach Open two weeks
ago. Both were over' short
. courses , where the premium was
on short iron and putter profic
iency. But, today as the rich $25,000
Colonial National Invitation golf
tournament moved into its sec
ond round over the long, tor
turous 7,035-yard Colonial Coun
try Club course, the man in
front of the pack by a stroke was
Harper.
Cards 69
The drawling Virginian, Who
divides his time between a golf
course he is building in Ports
mouth, Va., and a club manufac
turing concern in Chattanooga,
Term., was the only man in the
47-player field to conquer Colo
nial's sun-seared layout Thurs
day as he posted a 35-34 69 de
spite an erratic game off the tee.
That gave him a slim one
stroke edge over defending
champion Johnny Palmer of
Charlotte, N.C., and Jack Fleck
of Davenport, Iowa, who shot
identical 36-34 70s.
And, Jie was two strokes
ahead of a trio made up of Tom
my Bolt of Houston, Tex., Ed
Oliver of Lemont, 111., and Leo
- Biagetti of Sandusky, Ohio, who
were bracketed at 71.

Bobo Olson
New York (U.R) It's only
seven weeks to June 22, the day
lightheavyweight champion
Archie Moore puts his crown on
the line against middleweight
King Carl (Bobo) Olson, but the
old battler claimed today he
won't have much trouble losing
21Vi pounds by then.
Moore, who scaled a beefy
196V4 pounds for his bout with
Cuban heavyweight Nino Valdes
in Las Vegas, Nev., Monday
night, agreed to meet Olson
Thursday, but only after the In
ternational Boxing Club prom
ised him a heavyweight title
bout in September.
Terms for the Moore-Olson
bout have not been completed,
but they will meet at the Polo
Grounds with Olson's title not at
stake. If, however. Olson defeats
'the 38-year-old "wonder man" of
the ring, he'll have to relinquish
his middleweight title.
Hardtop Races v
Set for Sunday
Ashland The management of
the Ashland Speedway has an
nounced that races 'have been
scheduled for this Sunday.
For the past few weeks races
have been canceled at the last
minute due to the possibility of
poor weather conditions.
Sundays races should have
their share of the thrills and
spills that go along with the
popular sport of hardtopping.
Since the opening race in April
interest has grown, and several
new cars have been built up,
both in Medford and Ashland.
Some of these cars and drivers
will be appearing on the track
for the first time.
Crock Hunter, pilot of Cros
by's A-15, will be in the sights
of many drivers. Hunter walked
away with main event honors
in the opening race, and since
then has , been challenged for
that honor.
A full car program has been
promised for Sunday's races
with cars coming from Grants
Pass and Medford.
MACIAS TO MEET KEEN AN
Los Angeles (U.R) Raton
Raul Macias of Mexico, who won
the National Boxing Association
bantamweight title by deafting
Thailand's Chamren Songkitrat
last March, has signed to meet
British Empire champion, Peter
Keenan of Scotland in a title
bout here, June 8.
CARDS SIGN SCAFFIDI
Chicago (U.R) Frank Scaf
f idi, a tackle from Marquette
who was the Chicago Cardinals
10th draft choice, has sign- a
1915 National Football league
contract with the club. Scaffidi,
a 250-poundee. ilso fills in as a
place-kickar. -
a no-time-limit mixed tag affair. Two referees
will be used, Promoter Mack Lillard said.
Other matches will send Logger Porter
against Cyclone Cobb and Buck Davidson will
test newcomer Cowboy Wes Knap. Starting
time is 8:30 p.m. and doors open an hour
earlier. .
Saturday
They can do it by taking both
games of the afternoon twinbill
from the . Klamath Pelicans.
Medford and GP are now knot
ted with five wins in six games
each. The Cavemen were to fin
ish this week with a single game
against Ashland today.
. However, the assignment
against the Pels won't be an easy
one for Medford. Rivalry in the
circuit is on an even plane this
season and the Pel-Tornado se
ries is considered a toss-up de
spite an earlier 6 to 4 win by
the Rogue valley squad over KF.
PUchers Listed
Ed McCullough and Duane
Sides are probable starting
throwers for Medford with Ernie
Tyler and Larry Clark on hand
for relief. Dave D'Olivo and
Earl Tichenor may be the Klam
ath tossers. Medford has been
strengthened by the return of
Third Baseman Larry Gober,
who has been sidelined by a bout
with flu and a kidney ailment.
Prestige only will be at stake
in the dual engagements of oth
er Tornado athletes.
In track and field Medford
will be heavily favored over
Klamath, which has not shown
great strength this year. More
than thirty trackmen are expect
ed to make the jaunt over the
mountain for the Tornado. One
of the top Medford thinclads
won't perform. Coach Bob New
land said last night. Pole Vault
er Lew Breazeale turned his
ankle while high jumping Wed
nesday. He is expected to be
okeh by district meet time next
week.
A couple of recent additions
to the cinder varsity are Mike
Smith, broad jumper, and Bob
Tarns, high jumper and broad
jumper. Both are juniors.
In tennis Medford edged Klam
ath 4 to 3 this week. '
Marshfield will provide the
third team tussle of the season
for the Tornado golfers who
have two victories over KF be
hind them.

By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Dale Long, victim of one of
baseball's most bizarre experi
ments, was in another rare posi
tion today: He could say "I told
you so" to General Manager
Branch Rickey of the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Four years ago, Rickey de
cided Long couldn't make the
big league grade as a first base
man and announced he was con
verting him in to a left handed
catcher. The move defied tradi
tion because baseball men in
sisted there just "couldn't be
such an animal." Long agreed
but went along with the experi
ment. It failed but Long still thought
he could make good as a first
sacker and today he's proving
his point with a .364 batting
average that's a major factor in
the Pirates' sudden emergence
as respectible citizens in the Na
tional League.
The 29-year-old 210-pounder
from Green Bay, Wis., capped
the comeback Thursday when he
drove in six runs with three
doubles and a sacrifice fly and
started a triple play as the Pi
rates beat the Milwaukee
Braves, 9-4. The victory was the
fifth straight for the Pirates
second longest of the Rickey re
gimeand their eighth in 11
games.' They'll equal the Rickey
regime record of six wins in a
row if they beat the New York
Giants tonight.
Long, who has three triples
and five doubles among his 16
blows this season, started his
great day Thursday by driving
in the first Pittsburgh run with
a sacrifice fly in the first inning.
In the fifth, he doubled to drive
in two more runs and in the
sixth he lashed another double
with the bases filled to drive in
three more.
Triple Play
Then, in the seventh, his 6
feet, 4Vi inches were put to good
use when he leaped to spear a
line drive by Eddie Mathews arid
start the season's first triple
play. Long threw to Dick Groat,
covering second, for a second
out and took the shortstop's
throw to first to complete the
triple killing. Nelson King re
ceived credit for his first win
with the aid of Vernon Law's
relief. i
The Giants downed the Chi
cago Cubs, 6-3, and the Detroit
Tigers defeaed the Boston Red
Sox, -2, in the only other games.
