' Jenkins was followed by El mer Sisemore, Loe Donelon, Roy Deutschman and Wayne Lemley in that order. Donelon, however, was put back three positions when the judges ruled he jump ed at a restart and fenced an other car. A pair of Gold Beach entries, Bud Johnson and Ken Curry, took one-two in the semi-main. Ken Stratton finished in front of Curry but was penalized one place for his part in the spin out of another contestant. Most sensational spill of the night saw Don Cummings slam hard into the fence on the back stretch in the semi-main, rip along the barrier and turn end over end. Just before his upset Al Root had rolled over at one end of the oval. Main event saw Johnny Wil verling crash hard and head-on into a corral at the head of the front stretch before the race was hardly underway. Jerry Teeter tangled with Bob Willhite in the first heat, sweeping across the infield and sideways into a cor ral. Donelon was victor in the A trophy. Willhite took the B tro phy. Root had led in the B race until Willhite nosed him over in the backstretch of 'the last lap. The other contestant, John son, also passed Root. Cecil James won the first heat. In the second heat Deutsch man got the checkered banner first but judges ruled that he had put Sisemore out of the race and set him back two notches. That gave Johnson the race and Monty Hall second. Sisemore was leading when he sDun out iust before the final turn. Donelin grabbed the third heat and Bud Hart, with new suspension but without the re ported cameo coral paint, was second.

Medford had big innings in both games, got home runs by Howard Morris and Bill Mc Lean on Saturday and had strikeout relief hurling from Derald Wooton, home from the pro-wars, at a crucial moment yesterday. Bases Loaded The Studs were leading with the 10 to 7 count and were two outs away from their series sweep in the top of the ninth inning when Pitcher Marv Scherpf was tagged for a double , by Johnny Hammons and walk ed Dick Nix and Clint Reese. That put a possible tying run on base and brought a possible winning run at bat. Wooton, just returned from Cedar Rapid la., of the Three I league, wastcalled to the hill from center 'field. He bore down to strikeout both pinch swatters, John Eggink and Mel Drews. Big innings -for Medford yes terday were the fourth and the sixth.

GP Scores Four GP also had an inning of the big variety yesterday with four scores in the fifth. Nix and Smith got triples, Tiger Smith a double. Mel Friend's sacrifice flyout and a walk helped pro duce runs. The Elks got a run in the opening inning on singles by Nevi and Friend, a base on balls and Smith's sacrifice fly. In the seventh a walk, Friend's double and Hammons' single completed the Elk runmaking. Several balls were "lost" by fielders in the sun during the game, enabling hits. McCullough paced Studs hit ting with three for five. Mellbye socked two for three and Niles two for four. Hammons knocked two for three and Friend two for four for the Elks as each club got 10 hits. Big scoring frame for Medford on Saturday was the sixth with four runs. McLean led off with his roundtripper and Cooney hit a three-bagger Wooton, Mor ris and Noyes singled.

Conrad, 26-year-old red-haired Air Force lieutenant from San Antonio, Tex., sprang from links obscurity to world-wide fame by whipping Alan Slater of Eng land, 3 and 2, in Saturdaq's 36 hole final round at St. Anne's, England. "He has a very good chance to win the French tournament, too," conceded the gallant Sla ter, "unless, of course, he is too tired from the past week's hard go." Before leaving England, Con rad said he enjoyed playing in the soaking rain' that accom panied the final round of the British tournament and added with a grin, "I hope for a little L Pet 37 12 .755 ; 30 20 .600 7 ,i 26 25 .510 12 24 24 .500 12'.. 21 26 .447 15 20 26 .435 15'i 20 28 .417 16'a 16 33 .410 21 rain in France, too." Nats Lend Hand To Yankee Nine; Take 3 out of 4 from Cleveland By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Cleveland Indians made patsies of the Washington Sena tors en route to their 1954 pen nant but whistling Charley Dres sen has the American League champions dancing to his tune this year. Charley's Senators made it a "lost week end" for the Tribe when they took three of four games and equalled their entire 1954 victory total against the In dians. The Indians compiled an 18-4 record against Washington last year but the Senators lead this season's series, 4-3. The Senators took Sunday's opener, 6-4, and seemed about to sweep the four - game series when the Indians staged a six- run, seventh-inning rally that gave Early Wynn his seventh vic tory of the year in the 6-3 night cap. The split left the Tribe four games behind the first - place New York Yankees, who beat the Chicago White Sox, 3 2, in 10 innings after losing the opener of their doubleheader, 5-3. The Senators' ability to stand up to the Indians could easily de velop Into a crucial factor be cause it was Cleveland's ability to wallop Washington, Philadel phia, Boston and Baltimore that was the key to its record Ill game victory total last year. The Indians were 18-4 over the Sena tors and Athletics, 20-2 over the Red Sox and 19-3 over the Ori oles for a composite 75-13 last year. The Yankees, meanwhile, played 61-27, .693 ball against the same four teams. Story Reversed But, with the Senators acting up this year, the story is almost exactly reversed. The In dians' composite mark against the four-some this season is 19-8. The Yankees, on the other hand, have beaten those four teams, 26-8, for a .765 average and a net gain of 3Vi games. Thus, the turnabout has produced all but a half game of the Yankees' four-game lead. Johnny Schmitz survived two homers by Vic Wertz and one by Bobby Avila to win the first game for the Senators and notch his fourth victory. Dean Stone then shut out the Tribe for six innings before the big six-run rally. Key blow to the frame was a three-run triple by Al Smith. It was the 191st tri umph of Wynn's big league ca reer. Billy Hunter's inside-the-park homer gave the Yankees their split after the White Sox routed Tommy Byrne in the first inning of the opener. Jim Rivera hit the first grand slam homer of his career to account for four runs and Sherman Lollar fol lowed with another homer. Dick Donovan went the route, yielding five hits for his sixth win. Andy Carey, Mickey Mantle and Chico Carrasquel hit homers in addi tion to Hunter in the nightcap. Seven Splits Seven of the eight double headers Sunday resulted in splits and the eighth was pend ing completion of a suspended game betwen the Milwaukee Braves and Philadelphia Phil lies. The Braves won the opener, 5-4, with the aid of Ed Mathews two homers but the Phillies had a 4-0 margin when the nightcap was suspended in the seventh frame. Rookie Duke Maas' first maior league shutout and a 12-hit at tack enabled the Detroit Tigers to score a victory but Cal Abrams' triple and two-run homer paced the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-5 decision in the nightcap. Hector Lopez singled home the winning run in the 19th inning to give the Athletics a 5-4 win but the Red Sox won the second game, 4-3, with the aid of Norm Zauchin's eighth home run. Sal Maglie's seventh straight victory enabled the New York Giants to beat the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, but Sam Jones won his sixth decision in the night cap when pinch-hitter Frankie Baumholtz hit a three - run homer in the ninth off relief pitcher Marv Grissom. -Jim Hearn was the loser. The Brooklyn Dodgers came up with six and four run ral lies for a 10-6 conquest after Ken Boyer's two homers sparked the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-4, 10 inning victory! Jackie Collum's nine-hitter gave the Cincinnati Redlegs a 5-1 win after Ramon Mejias singled home the winning run in the ninth inning to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 7-6 de cision.
