Disputed by
Both Teams
New York U.R) Umpire
Jim Hurley enjoyed the distinc
tion today of making a decision
that displeased both teams.
Tht controversial play oc
curred Wednesday in the seventh
inning of the New York Yankees'
11-6 victory over the Chicago
White Sox. Andy Carey of the
Yankees, at bat with the bases
filled and one out, hit a potential
double play grounder to second
baseman Nelson Fox.
Fox fielded the ball cleanly
and stepped into the baseline to
tag Tank Bauer, running from
first base. In the next Instant,
Fox was hit by a charging
'Bauer, staggered and threw too
late to retire Carey.
Hurley ruled interference by
Bauer and ordered all the run
ners back to their bases. So in
stead of two out, one run in and
two runners on base the Yankees
had two out, the bases filled and
Mickey Mantle batting.
Bauer Out, Ball Dead
Bauer hit Fox and interfered
with him before Fox made the
tag," Hurley stated. "Therefore
Bauer was out and the ball dead.
All the runners had to return to
their bases."
"The base line belonged to
Bauer," Manager Casey Stengel
of the Yankees said. "It shouldn't
have been interference."
"Bauer obviously interfered,"
said Manager Marty Marion of
the White Sox. "He should have
called it a double play and we'd
have been out of the inning with
out a run scored."
Mantle, who didn't say a word
during the 10-minute argument,
resolved both the dispute and the
game a few moments later when
he hammered a grand slam
homer into the right-field bull
pen. "I told Clint Courtney the
White Sox' catcher while they
were arguing," Mantle said. "I
said what are they yakking about
don't they know I'm gonna hit
one outta here?"

Pep Winner
Over Cadilli
Detroit U.R) Wee Willie Pep
packed his gear into a paper bag
and headed for home in Hartford,
Conn., today, to see what Mana
ger Lou Viscusi had lined up for
him next.
"I'm working on a fight-to-fight
basis," said Pep. "Lou has
to see if I get busted up before
we work on my next bout." Pep
was virtually unmarked after he
breezed to a 10-round unanimous
decision in a grudge rematch
with young Gil Cadilli, of Los
Angeles here Wednesday night.
"It was the same as our other
fight," said the veteran Pep, "ex
cept he had one good round in
that one while I had him all the
way tonight."
Other Fight Disputed
Cadilli was awarded a split de
cision in a hotly disputed fight
March 30 at Parks Air Force
Base, Calif., two months ago. The
California Boxing Commission
later suspended a judge and ref
eree as a result of the decision.
Judges Joe Greenberg and
Andy Brown both scored it 99-87
for Pep and Referee Jackie
Swartz awarded it to him 100
points to 81.
Eddie Smith of Detroit won a
unanimous 10-round decision
from Bobby Moore of Newark,
N. J., in a co-featured bout which
was blacked out from the cam
eras. , series with Humbolt State. SOC
picked up 33 hits in 98 times at
bat, while winning only 1 of the
three games. The Red Raiders
have scored 97 runs in 13 games,
the opponents have scored 81
times. SOC's run per game aver
age is 7.4. The opponents average
is 6.2 as a result of Humbolt scor
ing 32 runs in 3 games.
The Red Raiders have com
mitted 26 errors in 13 games.
SOC has received 53 free passes
to first base while striking out
66 times. In the last 3 games SOC
has struck out only 6 times as
compared to 30 times in the 4
games before this series. Raider
fence busters have "banged out
18 doubles, 8 triples and 6 home
runs. Lloyd Hoffine received his
first loss of the season and now
has a pitching record of 4 wins
and 1 defeat. Ned Landers has
a 3-0 record and Hal Schneider
man owns a 2-1 record and Keith
Johnson has 1 decision along
with 1 defeat. Thus the Raiders
will take a 10-3 won-loss record
into OCC tournament play this
week-end at Klamath.
Southern Oregon college ought
to win its first crown in OCC
competition this week-end, pro
vided the pitching staff is in
shape and no slumping among
the regular sluggers occurs.

enough was hitting on all cyl
inders from the mound today
with a perfect 4-0 record and
a 2.70 earned run average.
The 30-year-old, right-handed
fastballer, whose pitching al
ready has been labled "strictly
first class by Milwaukee Coach
Bucky Walters, an old convert
himself, turned in a brilliant
double duty effort Wednesday
in winning one game and saving
another as the Cubs swept a
twin bill from the faltering Phil
lies, 3-2 and 7-5.
Jeffcoat came shuffling out of
the bullpen in the ninth inning
of the opener after Richie Ash
burn doubled off Sam Jones to
lead off the frame and Pea
nuts Lowry singled Ashburn to
third.
Granny Hamner's sacrifice fly
scored Ashburn but Jeffcoat re
tired Del Ennis and Willie Jones
on pop-ups to end the game.
Again in the nightcap, Jeff
coat relieved John Andre with
one out in the fourth after the
Phillies went ahead 4-2 with the
help of homers by Stan Lopata
and Murry Dickson. Jeffcoat
limited Philadelphia to one run
the rest of the way, picking up
his fourth triumph when the
Cubs scored four runs in the
fifth on a walk, a single by Ed
die Miksis, Gene Baker's triple
and a homer by Bob Speake.
Ted Tappe and Ernie Banks also
homered for the Cubs while
Bobby Morgan did likewise for
the Phils.
Cubs In Second Place
The two victories moved Chi
cago into second place, 1'z
games behind Brooklyn, and the
two losses gave Philadelphia a
record of 15 defeats in the last
16 games.
Harvey Haddix and Barney
Schultz combined to hold the
Dodgers to seven scattered hits
and give the Cardinals their
fifth straight victory, 3-2. Errors
by Podres and Peewee Reese
contributed to the Dodgers' third
straight loss. When Bfogklyn
scored in the fourth, it marked
the first run off Cardinnl pitch
ing in 26 innings.
Southpaw Johnny Antonelli
of the Giants pitched a six-hitter
against his former , Milwaukee
teammates, beating them, 4-2.
The Giants wiped out a two-run
deficit when they pounded War
ren Spahn for three runs in the
sixth on Hank Thompson's single
with the bases full followed by
Ray Katt's single.
"Rudy Minarcin, making his
first big league start, pitched
Cincinnati to a 5-1 victory over
Pittsburgh with the help of Ted
Kluszewski's two-run homer and
Wally Post's two-run double.
Dick Littlef ield was the loser.
Indians Scalp Boston
Cleveland, the pace-setter in
the American league, buried Bos
ton under a 19-0 bombing that
included homers by Vic Wertz,
Ralph Kiner and Hank Majeski.
Wertz drove in five runs with
a grand-slam homer and a single
while the Indians were pound
ing out 19 hits, rookie southpaw
Herb" Score held the Red Sox
to three safeties and struck out
nine.
Mickey Mantle's grand - slam
homer in the seventh settled a
battle of homers and gave the
Yankees an 11-6 decision over
the Whjte Sox. Bob. Grim was
the winner although nicked lor
two homers.
Detroit pushed across three
runs in the 10th to beat Balti
more, 6-3, rookie Frank Lary
gained the victory after Al Kal
ine's single in the 10th off loser
Ray Moore snapped a 3-all tie.
Dean Stone was staked to a
four-run lead, in the first inning
and held on to it, pitching Wash

BLACK TORNADO CINDER SQUAD
GOES NORTH TO DEFEND TITLE
Medford high's track and field
aggregation, 12' men strong and
carrying the role of team to beat,
if not the favorite, headed for
Corvallis today to defend its
Oregon state Class A champion
ship. The crew will compete against
some 250 other athletes from 72
other schools. Preliminaries are
scheduled for Friday with finals
on Saturday. Events will be con
ducted at Bell field and on foot
ball practice fields.
The Black Tornado, which has
the reputation of perennial
champion, in this thinclad clas
sic, will aim for its Uth Oregon
team crown. Medford has won
the top class -hardware six times
in the past seven years and the
past two years in a row.
14 Berths
With its 12 youths holding
down 14 berths in 12 events, the
Black Tornado will have one of
the largest single school repre
sentations in the meet. Gresham
has 12 boys entered, Grant of
Portland has 10 and Jefferson
of Portland a squad of, nine.
Medford's state meet contin
gent this year possibly looms
stronger than the 1954 represen
tation but the caliber of track
and field men throughout the
state is better, too, and overall
performances have been better.
That makes the Tornado assign
ment seem perhaps tougher, than
last year when it tallied just
33 13 points to nick North Bend
by 2 13.
While the Tornado is expect
ed to pick up points in most of
the events in which it is entered,
the TMedford youths may have
to turn in peak marks to garner
more than two or three first
places. However, the scattering
of the top talent among the

The various highs during the sea

For Class A competition from
this district Ashland will have
six berths, Grants Pass four and
Klamath Falls four.
In Class B, Rogue River, Jack
son county power, appears a
strong contender with 13 berths
which should enable it to collect
a good share of points. Jackson

Padres Stretch Lead
By Crushing Solons
Br PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
The San Diego Padres, who
figure to get tougher before they
weaken, crushed Sacramento, 11
2, last night for their 15th win in
16 games and stretched their lead
in the Pacific Coast League to
2V4 games.
Bob Elliott's bruisers rolled to
their fifth straight triumph with
a 12-hit attack led by Milt Smith
who hit a homer, triple and sin
gle for four RBIs. Tom Herrera
4-3 blanked the Sacs after re
lieving Bob Kerrigan in the sec
ond. .
As if the Padres weren't strong
enough already, they were await
ing the arrival from Kansas City
of slugging first baseman Don
Bollweg and pitcher Charlie
Bishop. Bollweg was optioned
and Bishop was sold to the. Pads.
The arrival of Bollweg will
present Elliott with the nice
problem of what to do with Julio
Becquer. The young Cuban cur
rently is playing first base and
knocking the cover, off' the ball
at a .368 clip. v
Other Games
Portland helped San Diego ex
tend its lead by knocking over
second .place Seattle, . 5-2. San
Francisco trounced Los Angeles,
9-3, and Oakland outlasted Holly
wood,. 9-8, in other games. Ed
Mickelson's two-base hit sparked
a three-run rally in the sixth in
ning that carried Portland to vic
tory in Seattle.
Neither starting pitcher was
around at the finish. Dick Waibel
6-4 gained the win but was lifted
for a pinch-hitter in the big sixth
and Glenn Elliott blanked the
Rainiers on one hit for the last
four innings.
Jehosie Heard 3-5 was knocked
out in the sixth inning and Bob

Ducks
To Capture
Track Title
Seattle (U.R) Oregon is a
heavy favorite to win the North- "
ern Division track and field meet
here Saturday but Washington
expects to pick up six first place
ribbons to Oregon's five.
Seven 1954 champions will de
fend their titles and all but two
are expected to finish on top.
The exceptions may be the victim
of Jim , Bailey, the Australian
running star now racing for Ore
gon. Bailey has run the half-mil
in 1:53.7 and the mile in 4:13.
Defending champions expected
to repeat are Bob Gary, Washing
ton State in the 100 and 220
yard dashes; Wayne Reiser, Ore
gon's terrific two-miler; Bob
Leadbetter, Washington, in the
low hurdles; Jim Hilton, Wash
ington's pole vaulter, and Jerry
Church, Oregon State's javelin
tosser. Bailey likely will press
Oregon's Bill Dellinger in the
mile. ' - - "
Pre-meet dope figures Wash
ington's talented sophomore.
Dean Singer, will win the high
hurdles and the high jump.
Reiser is the best bet to set a
new record. He has been clocked
in the two-mile distance in
9:20.4. The division mark is
9:22.5, set two ' years ago by
Washington's Denny Meyer.
Oregon's relay team is the
choice for the mile relay, but
the WSC Cougars will give the
Ducks a run for their money.
