0 Dick Donovan Heaves 3rd Shutout As White Sox Move Up in Circuit By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Dick Donovan put seven years of bitter frustration behind him today and he just could be the fellow who'll enable the Chic ago White Sox to end their own frustrating, 35-year quest of an American League pennant. Donovan, who started pitch ing back in 1947 and never won a game in four previous major league trials, turned in his third straight shutout Sunday when the White Sox scored 3-0 and 5-4 victories over the Washing ton Senators. The sweep moved the White Sox to within a game of the first-place Cleveland In dians and put them a game and a half ahead of the third-place New York Yankees both of whom split Sunday's double headers. The White Sox made it six wins in their last seven games when Sandy Consuegra's fine re lief pitching helped them pull out the nightcap. George Kell doubled home Nelson Fox in the ninth inning to snap a 4-4 tie and give Consuegra whose e.r.a. is a glittering 1.13 his third straight win. Orioles-Indians Split Jim Wilson and Ray Moore collaborated in a five-hitter as the Baltimore Orioles beat Bob Lemon and the Indians, 4-1, in their opener. The Indians, how ever, rebounded behind Mike Garcia's seven-hitter to take the nightcap, 5-0. Lemon's loss was his second while Garcia s vic tory was his third. . Irv Noren's grand - slam homer and Bob Turley's 12 strikeouts featured an 8-4 Yan kee triumph after little Bobby Shantz pitched the Kansas City Athletics to a 4-3 verdict in the opener. Turley raised his strike out total to 69 tops in the majors while Shantz recorded his third win. Harvey Kuenn's four hits paced the Detroit Tigers to a 9- 3 victory after the Boston Red Sox pounded out 12 hits for a 10- 4 triumph. The Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants and Milwaukee Braves all split their National League doubleheaders while the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-1, in a single contest. Newcombe Wins Fifth Ted Kluszewski drove in five runs with his ninth homer and three singles as the Redlegs routed the Dodgers, 11-4, after Don Newcombe gained his fifth straight win with a 7-1 decision for Brooklyn in the opener. Warren Hacker's seven-hitter produced a 5-2 win for the Cubs but the Giants came back with a 13-hit attack and a 9-4 triumph. Don Mueller hit safely in both games and tied the record of 24 straight games established for the club by Fred Lindstrom in 1930. Sal Maglie won the night cap. Ed Mathews hit . two homers for the Braves who handed the Philadelphia Phillies a 13th straight loss, 6-5, but Robin Roberts stopped the team one short of its all-time losing streak mark with a seven-hitter and a 9-1 decision in the second game. It was Roberts' fourth win. 19 Turn Out For Cheney Studs Drill The Medford Cheney Studs started practice sessions at the fairgrounds baseball park Sun day with one of the best first day turnouts in recent years.'

The Padres, who battled all last year with the Hollywood Stars, pulled the switch on their northern neighbors last week by winning seven out of eight games and vaulting from third place to first in the standings. The Pads were helped out by the rest of the league all of whom spun their wheels by split ting Sunday doubleheaders while the San Diego team won two. Red at Humboldt Ashland Southern Oregon college split a doubleheader with the Humboldt State college base ball nine Saturday at Areata, Calif. The Red Raiders from Oregon uncorked 17 hits and tallied in every inning but the fourth to get the first game 11 to 5. Hum boldt nipped the Raiders 9 to 8 in the second. A home run by Dick Nix and doubles by Ted Landers, Richie Price and Fred Luper featured the opener. Price and Luper hit three for four each, Tiger Bob Smith got two for two and Ellis and Nix two for four. 3-0 Record Ned Landers put his SOC pitching record at three wins and no losses. In the second fray the Raiders had an 8 to 7 lead after piling up four runs in the seventh innings but Humboldt came back with two markers to gain the de cision. Keith Johnson and Charles Rettman hit two for four for SOC and Tuttle swatted four for five for Humboldt. The Areata series completed the regular season for Southern Oregon with a 10-win three - loss record. Next is the Oregon Col legiate Conference tourney this week end at Klamath Falls.

And Los Angeles went into second place with a 7-5 win over Seattle and then changed places by losing the nightcap 5-0. Taylor Homers 3 Tims Portland got three home runs from the bat of rookie Joe Tay lor and one from the stick of veteran Eddie Basinski to ac count for all the runs in the first game. Taylor's third homer in the eighth broke a tie and gave the Beavers the win. It was just the opposite in the second game. Oakland got homers by Billy Consolo and Joe Brovia to provide their part of a 2-2 tie. Then Jim Marshall hit a three-run homer to make the difference. San FraAcisco erupted for 19 hits as Mike Baxes drove in five runs in the first game to swamp Saoramento but the solons made a- single hit a little short squeeze bunt by Leo Thomas count for just as much as they won the second game. Thomas' bunt brought home the run that broke a 2-2 dead lock in the seventh inning. LINESCORES: (1st game) Hollywood 100 000 0001 8 2 San Diego 020 010 Olx 4 6 1 Naranjo.

Prospect Smoker Said Successful Prospect Screams, shouts and groans echoed through the hills Thursday night. May 12, when the Prospect high school lettermen's club staged the live liest . smoker residents of the community had seen in years. Highlights of the smoker were the boxing bout between Don Burwell and Lyle Pope and the tag team wrestling match in which Frank Artmire, Bob Jones, Pope and Burwell parti cipated. There was plenty of ac tion throughout the evening and a special attraction was a four man, blindfold grappling tussle with Jim Martin, Ken Oswald, George Bruch and Walter Friday as contestants. Lettermen cleared more than $90. Principal John B. Harr re ported. Coach Wesley Stauffer, club advisor, and the lettermen expressed pleasure concerning the fine attendance and thanked those who turned out for their generous contributions. Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune part Wits The tents pitched at Southern Oregon college's Fuller field by Coach Bob Newland and his Black Tornado track squad proved both a novel idea and a practical one at the district track meet at Ashland Saturday. Pur pose of the tents was to keep the Medford thmclads out of tne noi sun. They served the purpose all right but the sun turned out to be of the so-called "liquid" var iety. Seeing the tents prompted George Curtis, sportswriter for the Grants Pass Daily Courier, to ask Newland something like this: "What have you here, Olym pic village?" There is no "cover" at the Ash land college's athletic field, save for an equipment shed under the grandstand. Track fans and offi cials who did not seek the securi ty of the shed, did not crawl into their cars or did not wear parkas got considerably soaked in the rain, particularly near the end of the meet. The scoresheet at the open air scoring table got so soaked that attempts to write on it only gouged it and the scorers just had to give up making entries. It was a couple of hours after the meet was over before the re sults were retabulated and the team scores were available from Gen Allison of the Ashland high school athletic department. This writer had a typewriter set up on the top af a stove, a cold one, in the equipment shed and typed the results, standing up, as the events were finished. But he had to await Allison's count for the final score. THOUGHTS ECHOED Curtis probably echoed the. thoughts of seven schools tak ing part in the district meet at Ashland when he remarked that the meet probably would be a lot better if Medford were not entered. GRIT. DETERMINATION When Don Crowl, Medford's ace quarter - miler suddenly slowed about 50 yards from the finish line of his event Saturday, this writer though that the leg muscle which had been ailing the runner had tied up on him. But Coach Bob Newland said that wasn't so. He pointed out that the pulled muscle had kept Crowl from do ing the running necessary, to maintain his stamina. His en durance just gave out. He ap peared to finish with sheer grit and determination. Newland mentioned that Crowl would hot have run in the relay had it been the leg that gave him trouble in the 440. Don has posted the best 440 time in the state so far this year and Tornado hopes are high that he'll be in great shape for the state meet at Corvallis next Saturday. FINE PLANT Except for lack of cover Southern Oregon college has a fine football and track plant. The new cinder track is somewhat soft but will pack with use. It does not get muddy, which is one thing Dan Bulkley, the SOC track mentor, is pleased about SO League Not Settled On Scuffles Only thing sure about play f make-up games in the Southern Oregon Baseball conference this morning was that Klamath Falls and Medford highs would -not play this afternoon. Principal Lester Harris and Coach Alex McDonald of Med ford said that the Medford field is not in condition for action because of rain. While there is nothing defin ite, it is possible that Medford and Klamath Falls will tussle here at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday with Klamath Falls and Grants Pass playing their doubleheader on Wednesday or Thursday. Medford would have been un der a handicap, possibly, if it would have had to play today since it is senior skip day. District Committeemen Les ter' Harris, Medford, . Charles Carlson, Klamath Falls, and Frank Thomas, Grants Pass, were conferring today Carlson is chairman. PIONEERS TIP BEARCATS Salem (U.R) Willamette dropped its first dual track meet of the season Saturday, by a 75-56 margin to Lewis and Clark.

McAndrewa Phone 2-4107 Porter Defeats Hussane With Aid From Referee; Lord Carlton Due Next Week L.rd Carlton and Gen "Ths Body" Stanlee, both widely- j will appear at Merrick's arena here next Saturday night. Pro meter Mack Lillard has announced. It took -Mack Lillard and an officer of the law to convince Yoggi Hussane to leave the ring following his freakish defeat by Logger Porter in the feature; match of Saturday night's wres tling card at Merrick's arena. . By virtue of the victory, Por ter retained the 5100 which he had posted to get Hussane to agree to the match. Falls stood at one apiece in the hectic struggle which kept the small crowd screaming with excitement, when Hussane turn ed to vent his wrath on Referee Buck Davidson for imagined in terference. Davidson, not want ing to become involved, took several punches from Hussane until Porter came up behind the Turk and put on a full nelson. Then Davidson slugged Hussane to the mat where Porter fell on him to win the last fall with a body press. Hussane stormed around the ring, challenging anyone who would listen, paying particular attention to a ringside lady who had been spraying him with a water pistol all evening, until Lillard and the officer ordered him out of the ring. Entries Mailed For Boat Races Entries have been mailed out to possible northern California, Oregon and southwestern Wash ington participants in the West ern Speedboat association re gatta planned for Sunday, June 5. The motorboat races will be at Emigrant lake. Fishermen's racing competition in the morn ing will be a feature this year. Medford Junior Chamber of Commerce again will co-sponsor the regatta with the WSA. Tom Reeder, Jay Pierce, John Smith and Dick Bowers met re cently with Mrs. Bill Barnes, WSA secretary, and Mrs. Frank Grover, WSA publicity chair man for the races, to plan the event. Porter took the first fall in five minutes and 20 seconds and Hussane evened it three minutes and 40 .seconds later when another Porter giant swing backfired. After putting Hussane through the swing, Porter threw him to the mat and jumped for the press but Hussane rolled from under Porter and came up with a Boston crab The winning spill came in a minute and 40 seconds. Cyclone Johnnie Cobb dropped the first fall to Champ Thomas and came on to take the next two to cop their semi-windup bout. Thomas took the first fall with five dropkicks and a press in 11 minutes and 12 seconds and suc cumbed to Cobb's abdominal stretch in 13.35. Thomas stayed in the stretch too long and was injured to the extent Davidson wouldn't let him come out for the third fall. It was a spectacular battle, marked by Thomas' flashy drop kicks and Cobb's speed and skill. Larry Presnell and Cowboy Wes Knap went 30 minutes to a draw in a battle of legs. Presnell took a fall in 5:50 with a re verse rocking chair and Knapp evened it in 16:20 with a reverse back breaker. ordinary pipes Mr store up goo ml -FALCON if EJECTS !T JL j 1 OUNC,! i alcon doesn't soak up, stors np and "filter" out goo like ordinary fin. briar pipes.
