TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, May 20, 1955 Pels, KF Play Here; D'Olivo Throws Mo-Hitter; Crater Scuffles Saturday Klamath Falls and Grants Pass high schools were battling it out at Medford this afternoon for the District 6 A-l baseball man tle. The Pelicans and Cavemen di vided a doubleheader at Klam ath Falls yesterday in an after noon highlighted by workhorse Pitcher Dave D'Olivo's no - hit no - run performance. D'Olivo hurled the Pels to a 3 to 0 ver dict in the opener. Grants Pass won the second scuffle 15 to 5. Yesterday's games, last of the regular district and Southern Oregon Conference slate, left the two nines knotted with eight wins and four setbacks each, Today's encounter here was to decide which team will oppose Crater in Class A inter - district struggles beginning Saturday at Central Point. Crater won the District 6 A-2 banner. A double- header with Crater loomed likely tomorrow for today's winner. If a third game is needed in the two-out-of-three inter - district runoff, it will be Monday, also at Central Point. D'Olivo Blazes D'Olivo, who handcuffed Med ford only last Tuesday, was in great form yesterday as he blazed the ball by Grants Pass batters He issued three walks struck out five batters. George Herr al so turned in a good pitching per formance for the Cavemen. He cave up seven hits but whiffed five and walked only two. Klamath hurlers in the second same, however, could match neither D'Olivo nor Herr. In the meantime Bill Mendenhall toss ed a six - hit game for the Cave men. Coach John McGinnis of Klam ath informed Crater last night that he would be willing to play a doubleheader at Central Point tomorrow should his club beat Grants Pass today. Coach Mel Ingram informed the Grants Pass Courier that he "assumed" today's victor would play a Sat urday doublebill with Crater, Final arrangements for the series with Crater will be made following the Klamath - Grants Pass mix today. The inter-district plan this year calls for all games of the play-off to be on the A-2 field. The report yesterday that the third game, if needed, would be on the A-l diamond was er roneous. The A-l entry in the play-off faces the prospect of five games in three days. Tiredness of the A-l champ, particularly the weariness of pitchers, should be a boost to Crater ambitions.

New York Giants Post 3-2 Win Over Braves By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer They say the mark of a cham pion is the ability to win the close ones and that's exactly what Jim Hearn and the New York Giants are doing. They did it again Thursday with a 3-2 victory over the Mil waukiee Braves that gave the Giants a brilliant 7-1 record in games decided by one run. That mark is by far the best in the National League and is chal lenged in the majors only by the Cleveland Indians' 5-1 record. It was the second one-run ver dict of the season for Hearn, the team's No. 1 disappointment last year but the first N.L. pitcher to record his sixth victory this year. Hearn yielded 10 hits but walked only one batter and struck out six. He's beaten every team in the league except the Chicago Cubs. Cardinals Second The St. Louis Cardinals are second to the Giants in the N.L. as far as one-run decisions are concerned with a 7-4 record. The first place Brooklyn Dodgers rank third with a 6-4 mark fol lowed by the Cubs' 5-6, the Cin cinnati Redlegs' 4-5, the Braves' 5-7, the Pittsburgh Pirates' 3-5 and the Philadelphia Phillies' 3-8. . In the American League, the Kansas City Athletics rank sec ond to the Indians with a 6-2 record in one-run decisions and the Boston Red Sox are next with 6-4. The Chicago White Sox are 4-4, the New York Yan kees 2-3, the Baltimore Orioles 4-6. the Detroit Tigers 3-6 and the Washington Senators 4-8, The triumph left the Giants IV2 games behind Brooklyn but enabled them to complete their first invasion of the West with a creditable 6-3 showing. The Dodgers, meanwhile, came home with a 4-5 slate for their trip and a tidy little three-game losing streak. In short, there was solid rea son for believing today that the league has shaken itself down and that there'll be a race after all.
