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.

fairgrounds baseball park Sun

Br DON THACKERY
The San Diego Padres were
finished today with a week of
Stargazing and calculated they
could grab the Pacific Coast
League pennant if they could
keep up their astrology course.
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.

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

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.

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.
