Hearn Hurls Fiffth Victory
For Giaiits; Ohicago Snaps
lodger String at 11 Games
Br FRED DOWN
United Prats Sports Writer
Leo Durocher was happy to
day to admit he was all wrong
because Jim Hearn is making
- things all right for the New
York Giants. f
"I handled him wrong last
season." the Giants' manager
said. "I lost confidence in him
but I promised I wouldn't do it
again this year."
Hearn, who won only eight
games in 1954 paid another div
idend on Durocher's new policy
Wednesday night when he pitch
ed the Giants to a 6-3 decision
over the Cincinnati Redlegs. In
a few short weeks he has made
the full turn from the No. 1
disappointment of last season
to the team's No. 1 pitcher this
year.
It was the third straight vie
tory for the steadily - improving
Giants and especially heartening
because the Chicago Cubs snap-
ped the runaway Brooklyn
Dodgers' 11-game winning streak
with a 10-8 win a few hours be
fore the world champions took
the field in Cincinnati. The
Giants still were 8V4 games be
hind Brooklyn but they served
notice on the Ejodgers that even
an occasional sup will be penal
ized. Yields Eight Kits
Hearn yielded eight hits and
only two earned runs in gaining
his fifth victory of the year.
Monte . Irvin hit a two- run
homer and Whitey Lockman
blasted a three-run round-tripper
to spark the Giants' nine-
hit attack which handed south
paw Joe Nuxhall his second
loss.
The Dodgers' streak long
est of the season ended when
Ernie Banks hit a grand slam
homer and Dec Fondy homered
with two on for the Cubs.
Rip Repulski's double scored
Stan Musial and climaxed a
three-run eight-inning rally that
gave the St. Louis Cardinals a
6-5 win and stretched the Phil
adelphia Phillies' losing streak
to 11 games. The Phillies thus
neared the club record of 14
straight setbacks, 'suffered by
the 1936 team. Joe Adcock hit
two doubles and a single and
Ed Mathews hit a three-run hom
er as the Milwaukee Braves beat
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-3, In
the other National league game.
Indians Top Yankees
In the American league, the
Cleveland Indians made it two
straight over the New York
Yankees, 4-3, and took a three
game hold on first place. Ned
Garver's three-bitter sparked
the Detroit Tigers to a 7-0 win
over the Washington Senators;
the Kansas City Athletics down
ed the Baltimore Orioles,' 2-0,
and the Boston Red Sox beat the
Chicago White Sox, 4-3.
Early Wynn bested Bob Tur
ley in a pitching duel as the
Indians swept to their sixth
straight victory and 11th in 12
games. Wynn .yielded five hits
to Turley's three but the Yankee
hurler walked eight . men and
0 three of them scored. , Al Smith
delivered a key two-run single
for the Indians while Andy Car
ey and Mickey Mantle homered
for the Yankees.
Al Kaline's seventh homer and
three hits by Jay Porter and
Harry Malmberg provided all
the support Garver needed en
route to his third win. Bobby
Shantz, relieving Alex Kallner,
yielded only two hits in six in
nings to win his second for
the Athletics and Billy Klaus'
two-run homer was the differ
ence for the Red Sox, who cel
ebrated the announcement - of
Ted Williams' return - by snap
ping a five-game losing skein.

The axe swung throughout the

guys hard.
Enos Slaughter, dealt to Kan

lowed a lump in his throat and
mumbled, "I never had much of
a chance."
Southpaw Hal Newhouser, re

he said, "I know I can still help
some club."
Catcher Mickey Grasso hand
ed his release by the Giants
didn't know where to turn.
"This is the first time I've ever
been released in my life" he

numbed in front of his locker.

PCC School Presidents' Proposal
Of Added Help For Commissioner
Gives Rise to Question of Purge
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) Is the
Pacific Coast Conference con
sidering another "purge" such
as the Atherton probe of 15 years
ago?
The question arises after a
meeting of PCC school presi
dents at which the leaderspro
posed that Commissioner . Victor
O. Schmidt be given "more help"
in checking on organized recruit
ing. Dr. Robert Gordon Sproul,
president of the University of
California, claims nothing like
the Atherton purge is intended.
"Absolutely not," says Dr.
Sproul. "We couldn't afford any
such probe."
But the fact remains that the
school president did suggest to
the faculty representatives that
Schmidt be given more help and
Junior High
Track Meet
Here Friday
Track season for the Medford
junior high team concludes Fri
day with a district meet here.
Just how many entries there
will be was not known today
but four other schools have been
invited. They are Grants Pass,
Ashland, Klamath Falls' and
Crater. Ninth graders will par
ticipate. ' Meet time is 3 p.m.
Medford won the junior relays
at Grants Pass early in the sea
son, but the local ninth graders
lost to Grants Pass in their other
meets, two dual affairs.
Verdict Goes
To McBride
Chicago (U.R) Heavy
weight Archie McBride figured
today he proved a point in his
majority decision over Bob Sat
terfield in the Chicago stadium's
Wednesday boxing show.
"He1 supposed to be a hard
puncher," McBride said, "and
I took his best punch and it nev
er bothered me. So now I am
ready for two or three more
fights with better ranking heavy
weights," -
It was questionable, though
whether McBride actually, took
Satterfield's best punch. The
Chicago heavyweight, who has
knocked out 30 foes in 57 pro
fights, injured his left hand in
the second round and thereafter
he said, "I used it for show."
Bad Sprain
The hand was badly swollen
over the knuckles on the fore
finger and middle finger and
swollen to twice its size after
the fight. X-rays revealed it was
a bad sprain, and not broken as
had been feared by Satterfield's
manager, Ike Bernstein. Bern
stein said the hand will put
Satterf ield on the shelf for about
three or four weeks.
He told me before the third
round his hand hurt," Bernstein
said, "and I told him to punch
for the body."
.Thereafter Satterfield used his
left with abandon, but he said
"the power wasn't there." '
NEW MANAGER
Pittsburgh U.R) Kenneth
Rapp, who began working with
the Pittsburgh Pirates six years
ago as a messenger, is the new
business manager of the Bruns
wick, Ga., farm team of the
Pirates. Rapp, 24, succeeds Jack
Berger who wil ltake over as
publicity director of the Pirates,
succeeding the late Jim Long.

Angels, Pads Knotted
For Coast Loop Lead
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Turk Lown and Jim Brosnan
pitched and batted Los Angeles
into a tie with San Diego for
first place in the Pacific Coast
League last night. The Angels
knocked ' over the Seattle Rai
niers twice,. 7-5 and 9-1, to drop
the erstwhile leaders into third
place. ,
San Diego's defending cham
pion grabbed a share of the lea
gue lead with their ninth straight
win, a 3-2 decision over Holly
wood. -
Sacramento tripped San Fran
cisco, 4-1, and Oakland downed
Portland, 5-1, in other games.
Lown, Los Angeles' ace relief
pitcher exploded a 420-foot
that a better procedure to in
vestigate reports of violations be
set up. The faculty representa
tives usually follow, the line of
reasoning sounded by the school
heads.
Something Planned?
Is there something in the
wind? .
Obviously there is something
back of the proposal. For the
past decade Schmidt has handle;
the investigations alone with
out too much trouble.
The Atherton probe cost the
conference $40,000. Atherton
then was hired as commissioner
at $10,000 a year, plus another
$10,000 for expenses to run the
office.
Schmidt has no investigating
help now worthy of mention. A
couple of years ago he was
granted a budget of $6000 to hire
part-time investigators where he
considered probes necessary.
"It is obvious," said Dr.
Sproul, "that there can't be much
investigating done on that kind
of a budget." .
But Dr. Sproul won't go any
further.
"You can draw your own .con
clusions on just what we meant
by proposing that the commis
sioner s office have more help,"
says Dr. Sproul. "And I'll be in
terested in reading the various
conjectures."

Glad To See
Ted Return
Boston (U.R) Everybody
was glad to see Ted Williams
back in baseball today well
almost everybody.
There were no reservation!
here in staid old Bston which
let off steam like it was the anni
versary of Paul Revere's ride..
"He'll help us at the gate, no
doubt about it," said Red Sox
General Manager Joe Cronin.
An assistant in the ticket office,
more specific and less conserva
tive, chimed in "our attendance
will jump 3,500 to 5,000 a game
with Ted in the lineup."
"He'll help us on the field.
too," said Manager Mike Higgins,
who has been trying to get the
Red Sox out of a hitting slump
that has affected everybody on
the club. Higgins said he would
wait until Williams arrives, some
time on Friday, to determine
when the slugger will be able to
break into the lineup.
Williams, who became avail
able Wednesday when his mari
tal problems were settled by a
Miami court, said he could hard
ly wait to rejoin the club. "..
"I said last year was my last.
he commented in Florida after
his decision was announced. "But
I love baseball and altered cir-.
cumstances have cleared the way
for my return." v
But he admitted he didn't
know how ready he would be.
Even though he has worked out
almost daily at his fishing lodge
at Islamorado, Fla., he said "I
may be lousy
"I haven't done any running,
I'm at 210 pounds, five over my
playing weight, but the Red Sox
seem to want me so I'm going
back." -
