United Prtss Sports Wrilar
Major-league baseball fired a
31 -homer salute in honor of Me
morial Day and when the smoke
settled today, rookie Bob
Speake of the surprising Chica
go Cubs turned out to be the
holiday's biggest blaster.
Speake, a mere .264 hitter in
the Class A Western league last
season, sparked two rallies that
carried the Cubs to a 9-5, 10
inning victory in the opener
By UNITED PRESS
The Indians and , White Sox
lured 40,645 fans to Comiskey
park, Chicago, the largest
crowd of the season at that
arena, to top an outpouring of
193.548 at major-league games
Memorial day.
The total attendance for the
holiday presented a slight in
crease over last year's 190.
357. but there were eight pro
grams this year and only sev
en due to rain in Milwaukee
last year.
On an average, the holiday
crowds dropped from last
year's 27.193 per game to this
year's 24.195.
against the St. Louis Cardinals
and then settled the 11-inning
nightcap with a homer that pro
duced a 4-3 triumph.
And thus the "Windy City
wonders" passed the Memorial
Day milestone as the only Na
tional League team offering the
runaway Brooklyn Dodgers a
serious fight.
The Dodgers also swept a twin
bill, 8-4, and 8-3, over last-place
Pittsburgh, and did the day's
greatest mass cannonading with
five homers. But, thanks to
Speake's heroics, the Brooklyn
blasters were unable to improve
on their league lead of six
games.
Speake's two homers gave him
a total of 10 and his five runs-batted-in
a total of 32. And the
24-year-old southpaw swinger
from Springfield, Mo., has com
piled a .304 batting mark that is
a far cry from his Western
league average.
Williams Hits First Homer
Ted (The Thumper) Williams,
joined the holiday slugging with
his first homer of the year in
the Boston Red Sox' opening
game, an 8-6 loss to Baltimore,
before the Sox took the night
cap, 8-1. It was the 367th homer
of Ted's big-league career and
served as a warning to all pitch
ers that the game's last .400
hitter is whacking the ball
again.
Roy Campanella and pitcher
Don Newcombe each smashed
two homers in the Dodger tri
umphs, Newcombe's pair help
ing him to the nightcap victory
that gave him the best pitching
record in the majors eight
wins and no losses. Russ Meyer
was the opening winner, with
relief from Ed Rosebuck.
Willie May's two - run eighth
inning homer gave the New
York Giants an opening game,
6-5 victory over Philadelphia,
smashing the Phillies' seven
game winning streak. But lefty
Jack Meyer dropped the Giants
10 games behind Brooklyn by
"saving' a 3-1 victory for Bob
Kuzava in the night cap. It was
the third time Meyer relieved
and stopped the Giants within
seven days.
The Milwaukee Braves swept
a twin bill from Cincinnati, 7-6,
and 8-4 with substitute first
baseman George Crowe the big
man. Crowe singled home the
winning run in the opening
game, his third hit of that fray,
and then walloped a three-run
homer and scored two runs in
the second game.
In the American league, the
New York Yankees maintained
their three-game lead over Cleve
land by rallying to win the sec
ond game of a doubleheader from
Wasington, 5-3, after losing the
opener, 3-2. Cleveland beat Chi
cago. 9-1 in their opener, and
the White Sox took the second,
5-0, behind Billy Pierce. Kan
sas City took two games from
Detroit. 8-6, and 5-4.
Irv Noren"s pinch-hit single
with the bases loaded in the
seventh inning scored two runs
to break a 3-3 tie and give the
Yankees their victory. In the
opener, pinch-hitter Mickey Mc
Dermott of Washington also
singled with the bases loaded,
this time in the 10th inning, to
give Porterfield a pitching vic
tory over Bob Turley.
Pierce, who beat Cleveland
on three hits a week ago al
lowed the Indians just seven
this time and the only Tribe
runner to reach third base got
there on an error. Pierce helped
himself with three singles. Bob
Lemon of Cleveland pitched a
six-hitter in the opener for his
first complete game since April
30.
Baltimore scored two ninth
inning runs on two walks and
two hits to beat Boston in their
opener, but Ike Delock held the
Orioles to four hits in the sec
ond game.
Ex-Yankee Johnny Sain pitch
ed two-hit relief ball for 3 1-3
innings to save the opener for
Kansas City. Gus Zernial
singled home the winning run
in the nightcap in the 11th in
ning. NATIONAL LEAGUE

Studs Outslug Yreka
Diamond Nine 22-16;
Fray Here Wednesday
Medford" s Cheney Studs are
hosts Wednesday night to the
Yreka, Calif., semi-pro baseball
nine and, if the clash bears any
similarity to the one played yes
terday at Yreka, what a slugfest
fans will see at the fairgrounds
ball park. Wow!
Thirty-eight runs crossed the
plate and 44 hits, including six
home runs, smashed out as the
Studs overcame the California
crew 22 to 16 in the holiday
afternoon engagement.
Jack Cooney of the Cheney
gang led the home run parade
with a 360-foot clout over the
right field wall in the fifth in
ning and a 400-footer over the
center field fence in the eighth.
One man was on base each time.
In the fourth canto Manager
Clarence Mellbye of the Studs
began the roundtripper parade
with a bases-loaded slam over
the left field barrier. Lloyd Hof
fine cracked the ball over the
middle fence in the sixth with
a runner on base and Ritchie
Price duplicated in ninth with
two on. Clark got the lone homer
for Yreka.
Five Pitchers Raked
Hitters teed off against five
pitchers as Medford had the
slugging edge 26 to 18.
Mellbye and Harvey Tonn
headed Medford swatters with
four raps in five times up and
Hoffine hit four for six. Tonn
connected for one double. Ed
McCullough and Bill McLean
had four for seven afternoons
for the Studs while Cooney
socked three for six and Price
three for seven.
Jones was the overall heavy
hitter for Yreka with a double,
triple and two singles in six
turns. Clark had two singles in
addition to the homer. Derushia
hit three for six wih two
doubles and Kruitzer slugged
three for six with one a double.
A hard gravelly field helped
produce the hits. Whether bat
ters can have the same success
on the fairgrounds turf is a ques
tion to be answered only
Wednesday.
The Studs had the two biggest
innings in the holiday mix with
four in the first and six in the
fourth. They scored in all but
one frame while the Yrekans
got runs in six panels.
Hoffine, top hurler for the
Southern Oregon college nine
during the season just past, may
handle the pitching scores for
the Studs on Wednesday night.
He played right field on Mon
day. Yreka pitching choice ap
pears to lie among Costello,
Hewing and Cummingg.
Bill Kleaver may be the Yre
ka receiver. Likely infielderg are
Clark, first base; Hodgen, sec
ond base; Krutzer, third base,
and Jones, shortstop. Outfielders
could be picked from among
Fasolette, Moffit,. Derushia and
Beneke.

By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
The Memorial day accident
toll in the Pacific Coast league
was plenty high this year par
ticularly in the vicinity of first
place San Diego.
The Padres, who have been
acting like they never heard of
speed laws ran into a road block
thrown up by Lefty O'Doul and
lost twice to their ex-manager
10-1 and 2-1.
The rest of the league took
full advantage of the Padre mis
step. The San Francisco Seals
rose to the dizzy heights of sec
ond place with 8-7 and 11-2
wins over Seattle. Sacramento
brought Los Angeles back into
the second division with 6-4 and
4-0 boppings. And Portland and
Hollywood each gained a game
by splitting Portland 6-5 and
Hollywood 4-2.
Pads Score Twice
O'Doul, who brought San
Diego a pennant last season,
brought them double trouble
yesterday. His Oaks won big in
the first one and close in the
second, holding the rampant
Pads to a total of two runs and
nine hits.
Don Ferrarese held the Padres
to three blows in the first game,
slapped a homer himself and
picked up the victory.
Jim Marshall hit an Acorn
home run in the ninth inning
a frame that saw the Oaks score
eight times to cinch the win.
In the, second game Allen Get
tel went the six-hit distance and
the Oaks got to Lloyd Dickey
for the necessary two runs in
the fifth frame.
San Francisco replaced Seat
tle in the runner-up spot on
southpaw wins. Gene Bearden
picked up his eighth victory
without defeat as the Seals came
from behind to win with two in
the seventh of the first game.
Nini Tornay hit a homer for the
winners.
In the second the Seals pro
vided Steve Nagy with plenty of
runs. Steve rationed the Rain
iers to five hits, one a homer by
Ray Orteig.
DiPietro Hits Again
Bob DiPietro hit in his 22nd
and 23rd straight contests for
the Seals.
Sacramento got five hit pitch
ing from Marino Pieretti in the
opener and won when Tommy
Glaviano and Al Heist hit con
secutive home runs in the sixth.
Bob Usher and Steve Bilko hom
ered for Los Angeles.
In the second game Earl Har
rist blanked the Angels on two
hits while the Cherubs were
contributing four errors to the
Sacramento cause.
Portland had to go 10 innings
to win the first game as Eddie
Basinski scored the winning run
on Artie Wilson's sacrifice fly.
Carl Scheib took the win in
relief and Lino Donoso, fourth
Star hurler, was the loser.
In the second game, George
OTJonnen got the win In relief
and Bob Hall was charged with
the defeat. Wilson hit a homer
for the only two Portland runs
in the third inning, t
