McLish's Chucking, 3 Homers
Helps Pads To 12th Win In Row
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Tight pitching by Cal McLish
and good use of the tried-and-true
home run play carried the
amazing San Diego Padres to
their 12th straight Pacific Coast
league victory last night a
team record.
McLish pitched a seven-hitter
and Earl Rapp, Ed Bailey and
Milt Smith accounted for all but
one of the Pads' runs with four
baggers in their 6-1 triumph
over Los Angeles.
Bob Elliott's league - leaders
now have won 22 of their last Z'i
games and have climbed from
sixth on May 3 to 5V games
out in front.
The all-time PCL win streak
mark is 19 games, set by Seattle
in 1903 and Los Angeles in 1939
McLish, 29 - year - old right
hander, made it rough on his
former Angel mates, fanning
seven and issuing no walks as he
posted his fourth win after three
defeats.
Rapp's two-run homer in the
sixth was his 13th of the sea
son. He leads the league in both
roundtrippers and runs batted
in. He has 60 RBI's.
Other Games
In other games, Oakland
swept a double-header from Sac
ramento 7-3 and 7-2; San Fran
cisco trounced Portland, 8-2, and
Hollywood downed Seattle, 3-1.
Sacramento's twin-beating in
Oakland stretched its losing
streak to nine games and landed
the erstwhile league - leaders in
the PCL cellar. Oakland climbed
into fifth place as a result of the
wins.
The Oaks won the seven-in
ning opener with a six-run flur
ry in the sixth inning highlight
ed by Billy Consolo's three-run
double. George Bamberger (4-4)
got the win but he' needed help
in the last inning from Al Gettel
when the Sacs scored all their
runs.
Homers by Art Cuitti, Jim
Marshall and Joe Brovia off
Chet Johnson (3-4) lifted the
Oaks to victory in the second
game. Bud Black (2-1) went the
route for Oakland, yielding only
six hits.
Streak Stopped
In Portland, the Seals squared
the series at 1-1 on Don Frsc
chias (4-4) eight -hit pitching.
Fracchia also stopped Dick
Whitman's consecutive game hit
ting streak at 27.
Fracchia helped his cause with
a three-run homer. Reno Cheso
also drove in three runs and Joe
Kirrene singled three times and
batted across two runs. Bill
Werle (4-2) was the loser.
Hollywood reliefer George
O'Donnell saved George Witts
third win after five defeats, tak
ing over in the seventh inning
and holding Seattle hitless the
rest of the way. Witt had given
up six hits, one a homer by Bill
Glynn in the fourth.
Vic Lombardi gave up eight
hits in suffering his fourth de
feat. He has won four.
The Hollywood club announc
ed that relief pitcher Cal Hogue
has been recalled by the Pitts
burgh Pirates and would leave
the team in Seattle immediately.
Th Pirates had oDtioned him to
the "Stars. Hogue had appeared
in 14 games with Holly wood

Eligibility Question
The eligibility question, which
resulted last year in some prep
golfers being declared ineligible
for the tourney, came up yester
day and resulted in claims and
counterclaims about" various
players taking part in tourna
ments which would make them
ineligible for high school.
As a result, the Oregon School
Activities association ordered a
complete check on eligibility of
each player and held up awards

Moore Top
Contending
Heavyweight
New York (U.R) Light
heavyweight champion Archie
Moore, 36, was named top con
tender for the heavyweight
crown today in the Ring maga
zine's latest ratings.
It was the first time in four
years that the ruler in one di
vision was designated crown
prince for the class above him.
The last to enjoy tnat distinction
was Sugar Ray Robinson, who
was welterweight champion and
number one middleweight con
tender in 1951.
Big Bob Baker of Pittsburgh
ranks second among the heavy
hopefuls, behind Moore. Don
Cockell is third; Nino Valdes,
fourth; and Tommy Hurricane
Jackson of New York, fifth.
Johnson Still Heads
Middleweight champion Bobo
Olson is getting the next shot at
Moore's light heavy crown on
June 22, but Harold Johnson of
Philadelphia is still rated top
contender for Archie's diadem.
Charles Humez of France re
placed Joey Giardello of Phila
delphia as number one contender
for .Olson's 160-pound crown.
The Frenchman's boost from sec
ond place was caused by his own
three straight knockout victories
this year and by Giardello's dif
ficulties with the law.
Giardello was dropped to third
notch, behind Rocky Castellani
of Cleveland.
WHITMAN HALTED
Portland (U.R) Dick Whit
man's 28-game hitting streak
was halted last night as the San

Portland Beavers 8-2 in a Paci
fic Coast league baseball game
before 2233 fans.

Ed Furgol Will Surprise Experts
If He Betters 72 on Golf Dav
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) If
National Open Champion Ed
Furgol shoots better than a 72
or 73 on the Olympic Club
course here for National Golf
Day June 4, the experts are go
ing to be surprised and the spon
sors of the day, Life magazine
and the Professional Golfers as
sociation should be grateful.
The sponsors give a medalion
saying "I beat the champ" to
everyone coming in with a bet
ter score than- that posted by
the titleholder. Last year, how
ever, Ben Hogan shot a stunning
66 at Baltusrol and Life maga
zine was left with a half ton of
medals that couldn't be mailed
out because very few beat that
score even with a full handi
cap. In 1954 against Hogan, there
were 147,831 who paid $1 each
for the privilege of attempting
to post a better score than the
champion.
"This year," says Jim Turman
of the magazine, "we expect
that more than 200,000 will
Play."
Women This Year
The reason for the big increase
is the fact that women will com
pete for the first time, against
the women's national open chanr
pion in this case Babe Zafr
arias.
Also, for the first time, rep
resentatives of the Red Cross
will be on the first tee attempt

White Sox Hope
Minnie Minoso
Able To Return
Chicago (U.R) The Chi
cago White Sox crossed their
fingers today and hoped that
Minnie Minoso, who suffered a
"slight" skull fracture after be
ing beaned by New York Yankee
pitcher Bob Grim, would not go
the way of his former team
mate, Cass Michaels.
While all Sox officials hoped
Minoso would be back in uni
form soon, the "ghost" of what
happened to Michaels s popped
up immediately. Michaels was
beaned in Philadelphia last year,
After he had supposedly re
covered, he' suffered relapses
this spring and had to give up
baseball.
Minoso was beaned last Wed
nesday by Grim in the first
game of the Sox-Yankee series
First x-rays revealed no frac
ture, but x-rays taken here Fri
day showed a slight break.
When Minoso complained of
feeling dizzy and nauseated be
fore the team left for Cleveland,
he was taken to Mercy hospital
where it was announced he suf
fered a fracture.

Frankie Car bo's
Names Goes Into
Hearing Record
Philadelphia (U.R) The
Pennsylvania Athletic commis
sion with the name of Frankie
Carbo in the record, moved into
its sixth day of testimony in the
hearing on the Harold Johnson
Julio Mederos bout today with
Tommy Loughrey, Johnson's
manager of record on the stand.
Carbo, sometimes called a
dominant figure in the matching
of boxers and the booking of
bouts, became part of the record
Tuesday when the commission
fished at finding out whether he
had anything to do with the nationally-televised
fiasco of last
May 6 when Johnson blacked
out between the second and
third rounds.
Jimmy White of New York
and Miami, manager of Mederos,
was questioned sharply by Com
missioner Al Kelin, veteran at
torney of the Kefauver Senate
Crime committee investigations.
But the same curtain of anony
mity which keeps Carbo in near
obscurity rolled down.
Fellow That's Around
White, a veteran of more than
25 years in the boxing game,
identified Carbo only as "a fel
low that's around. And when
Klein asked- when White saw
him, the answer was "When I
bumped into him."
"You're the 50th person who
asked me what he does," White
said. "No one knows what he
does. I have nothing to do witn
him, and I don't know what
business he's in. My friends
never mention him. All I know
is what I read in the papers."
He testified he did not know
anyone who gave Johnson any
drug.

Joey Lopez
Upset Victor
Over Saddler
Sacramento (U.R) Feath
erweight Champion Sandy, Sad
dler was the victim of a unani
mous upset decision last night
in a non-title bout with Sacra
mento lightweight Joey Lopes.
The champion from New York
was looking for the 100th
knockout of his career, but a
furious last round assault on the
badly battered eye of his op
ponent could not even gain
enough points to take the decision.
There were no knockdowns,
but Lopes had the champion
staggered in three separate
rounds. Lopes scored on the dis
tance shots, while taking a beat
ing from the agile Saddler.
Lopes made his most telling
attack in the ninth, knocking
out Saddler's mouthpiece early
in the round. He scored freely
with both hands. However, Lo
pes' right eye, which had been
swollen badly since the second
round, broke open and bled
freely.
In the final round, Saddler's
dazzling white trunks , were
stained with blood of his oppon
ent's eye.
Judge Merle Ziegler scored
the bout 58-51 for Lopes, while
Judge Fred Bottaro and Referee
John Basinelli called it 57-52
for Lopes. The United Press had
Lopes in front 57-52.

Frick Pictures
Rosy Situation
Milwaukee, Wis. (U.R) High
Baseball Commissioner T o r d
Frick ran the gamut of contro
versial questions with only a
minimum of hedging and pictur
ed rosy times for the national
pastime today.
"Baseball is in a sound state,"
Frick told the United Press late
Tuesday. "As long as we have
America, we're going to have
baseball. We're just back to
normalcy following the boom
period after the war."
"Baseball today draws so
much more than prior to the
war," he said. "Five million was
a great year before the war.
Even in a bad year now we have
seven and one half to eight mil
lion."
Minors In No Danger
Frick was speaking of the
majors but he did not feel the
minor leagues were, in any dan
ger either. He said they, too,
were just returning to normalcy
after a post-war boom.
The commissioner said expan
sion of the major leagues was
inevitable but he did not guess
where the expansion wouldl be
gin.
"Eventually we will have
baseball across the nation," he
said. "The major leagues follow
the economic and business ex
pansion of the country. They
cannot and will not stand still.
