TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June 1. 1SSS fJewk's 10th Triumph Boosts Dodger Margin; Has Good Start on 30 Wins By CARL LUNDOUIST United Press Sports Writer Dazzler Don Newcombe was the best bet in 21 years today to win 30 games" in one season. The Dodger ace, with 10 vic tories and no defeats in the first third of the 1955 season, was in a much more strategic spot than Dizzy Dean of the Cardinals was back in 1934 when he had a 30-7 mark for the "Gas House Gang." Dean had won only sev en games at this stage of the race. : No pitcher since Dean has hit the magic 30-game level and of those who came close, none was as well off as Newk at the one third pole in the race. Robin Roberts of the Phils, who won 28 games in 1952, was 7-3 at this stage. Hal Newhouser of the Ti gers, a 29-game winner in 1944, had an 8-4 mark and Bucky Wal ter of the 1939 Reds, 27 wins for the campaign, was a modest 7-4 when that season was one third gone. t Dominatin' Don's record bord ers on the fantastic when it is considered that he was out two full weeks from April 24 until .May 6 with what he called a sore arm. Manager Walt Alston said it might be a sore head Newk, in the doghouse so securely he was even suspended and fined a day's pay for refusing to pitch batting practice, missed at least three regular turns when, his arm was bothering him. Hurls Four-Hiiter Wednesday night Newcombe flashed a four-hitter against the Redlegs, beating them 3-1 and also contributing two hits to boost his batting average to .400. He struck out seven and walked none and missed a shutout on Ted Kluszewski's 16th homer. In 81 innings he has walked only nine batters. Wanta hear more? He retired the last 16 men to face him, scored the first run, drove in the final one. . And all in a cold night-long drizzle. The victory put Brooklyn nine full games ahead of the sec ond place Cubs who suffered a 2-1 defeat at Pittsburgh when Dale Long lashed a ninth inning homer. The Giants stayed 13 games back by topping the All-America Stars Slated With Florists Seven Ail-Amerjcans will be in the lineup when the Erv Lind Florists girls' sof tball team of Portland clashes with the Klam ath Falls girls, Oregon cham pions, at Fairgrounds park here Thursday night, June 16. Game time is 8 o'clock. . The Florists, former world champions who are given an excellent chance to regain their laurels in the world tournament at Portland in August, are said to be 25 per cent stronger than last year when they lost out in the finals. The All-Americans ' who are scheduled for the appearance here include Thelma Carlson, twice selected as an outfielder; Margaret Dobson, five time re peater at third base; Roberta Mulkey, five times at first base; Snookie Doyle, five times as an infielder; .Lois Williams, six time choice as catcher; and Eliz abeth Locke, selected twice as an outfielder. Betty Evans Grayson, ranked as one of the world's greatest feminine pitchers, also is. ex pected to make the Medford trip. A preliminary game, which would rate main billing in any Oregon park except for the ap pearance of the Florists, will " send the Rogue Valley QT's against the Roseburg Lumber jills, starting at 6:30 p.m. Both teams are entered in the up-coming girls' state tournament and are rated main stumbling blocks for Klamath Falls' plans to repeat. Yank Net Power Felt in England Beckenham, England (U.R) American court power was mak ing itself felt in the Kent Grsss Court Tennis Championships to day as a Yank contingent head ed by Tony Trabert held down four of the eight berths in the quarter-final round of men's singles. Trabert, former U. S. cham pion from Cincinnati, O., remain ed a solid title choice despite his difficulties with wet grass in an 11-9, 8-6, second - round vic tory yesterday over Mai Ander son of Australia. Other American stars to reach the quarter-finals were persist ent Herbie Flam of Beverly Hills, Calif., Gil Shea of Presidio, Calif., and dark horse Harold Sweeney of New York, while former Wimbledon women's champion Louise Brough of Bev erly Hills advanced to the third round of women's singles.

Boston, which only won two games from Cleveland all last season, made it two in a row and three out of seven so far for 1955 by topping the Indians, 5-4 in 12 innings. The first - place Yankees failed to take advan tage' of Cleveland's loss, drop ping a 3-1 decision to the Tigers in Detroit because Bob Turley again had trouble with wildness and dropped his third game in a rowa Chicago also blew a chance to gain, dropping a 3-2 decision to last-place Baltimore when Hoot Evers hit an eight- inning homer. Kansas City edged Washington, 3-2, when old war horse Enos Slaughter hit a pinch-single with the bases load ed in the ninth. Pitching Duel Long's homer at Pittsburgh gave rookie Ronnie Kline an eight-hit triumph, his third.

Bobby Hofman hit a pinch single to deliver the winning run for the Giants after errors by Al vin Dark and rookie Gail Harris gave Milwaukee five "outs" and HE WEARS THEM OUT If you have ever wondered how Harry (The Hat) Walker got his nickname, these candid shots, made while Harry coached at third base during the game against the Dodgers in Brooklyn, supply the answer. Harry, recently named to succeed Eddie Stanky as man ager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was a real fidget during his playing days. While at bat, his constant fingering of his cap annoyed and confused the opposing pitcher no end. Bruce Cudd in 3rd Round Of French Amateur Tussle Paris (U.R) Joe ' Conrad, the red-hot favorite in a group of 12 American survivors, and defend ing champion Henri De Lamaze of France both .were at the peak of their game today as the French National Amateur golf Terry Picked As Top Duck Baseballer " Eugene (U.R) Terry Mad dox, sophomore right-hander, was named the most valuable player of the Northern Division championship Oregon baseball team at the team's banquet here last night.

(U.R) For mer heavyweight champion Ez zard Charles, fresh from an avenging victory over big John ny Holman, said today he would resume his campaign for another title shot "in four or five weeks." Til fight anybody Don Cockell, Nino Valdes or Archie Moore," declared 33-year-old Ez zard who turned the tables on Holman of Chicago Wednesday night with a unanimous 10 round decision at the Music Hall. . Holman, 27, had stopped the ex-champ in the ninth round at Miami Beach on April 27, but Wednesday night in their nation ally televised and broadcast re turn bout he was practically handcuffed by Ezzard's change in style. Instead of fighting upright as usual, Charles showed his home town fans he could go into an opponent head down in Rocky Marciano fashion and press him at close quarters. Holman, who needs plenty of room for his looping punches, could get little power or accuracy into his blows. There were no knockdowns. Ezzard, favored at 9-5, was hurt only once, by ah overhand right to his head in the fourth round. But he came out fighting in the fifth. He gave Johnny a body beating in nearly every session. At 195V2 pounds.'Charles was two pounds heavier than in their first bout. Holman at 202, was three-fourths of a pound lighter. Furgol, Herbert Bear Yankee Colors on Links Washington (U.R) U. S.

By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer The Hollywood Stars surged into the first division of the Pacific Coast League last night for the first time this season. Bob Garber tossed a one-hit masterpiece as the Twinks de feated Los Angeles, 5-1. It was the 12th win in 16 games for Bobby Bragan's crew, touted before the season as one of the teams to beat. It left them in fourth, place,' a half game be hind Oakland and a half game ahead of San Francisco. '. Garber, right - handed fast baller, fanned eight and walked two , in Hollywood to post the first PCL one-hitter of the sea son. Angel right fielder Hal Rice hit a solid single' with two out in the fourth for the only safety off the Hollywood pitcher. . Garber (6-5) lost bis shutout in the ninth inning when Manuel Trabous was safe on a two-base error by shortstop Dick Smith and tallied on Gene Mauch's sacrifice fly. Hollywood sewed up the game in the fifth as Lee Walls hit a two-run homer and Jack Lohrke hit a two-run double. Roberts Hurt Loser Bubba Church (0 - 3) hit Curt Roberts in the head with a pitched ball in the first inning. The Hollywood second baseman was taken to a hospital for X-rays. Club physician Dr. Maurice Small said Roberts suf fered a concussion but was "rest ing comfortably." Elsewhere in the league,' Seat tle rallied in the last two innings to turn back league - leading San Diego, 5-3; San Francisco shut out Oakland, 8-0. on Bob Greenwood's three - hitter, and Sacramento beat Portland, 6-3. In San Diego, the Raineries squared the series and climbed to within six games of the Pads. The visitors scored two in the eighth on George Schmees' third homer of the season with Joe Ginsberg aboard and three in the ninth driven across by Gene ' Verble's single, Bill Glynn's sacrifice fly and Gins berg's double. John Oldham (5-2) was the winner, Charley Bishop (1 2) the loser.
