KONSTANTY FLASHES OLD FORM
AS YANKEES BOOST LEADERSHIP
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Pres Sports Writer
Every club in the National
league waived on "washed up"
Jim Konstanty last August but
the way he has been pitching
for the Yankees, he may be
able to wave back at 'em with
a World Series share in Sep
tember. Kn nni exceDt the Yankees
Konstantv from the
Phillies last summer, yet any
number of clubs in both leagues
would grab the bespectacled,
38-year-old righthander with the
.058 earned run average today.
Konstanty, the most valuable
player in the National league in
1950, flashed much of that old-
imo form Thursday as he
pitched one-hit ball for four and
two-thirds innings ana register
ed his third victory without a
loss in a 7-3 triumph over the
Tigers.
So far this season, Konstanty
who now throws with a pecu
liar delicate, dainty-like motion
has allowed only two earned
runs in 16 appearances. He
bailed out floundering Whitey
Ford Thursday with two men on
base and a three -and -nothing
count on Jack Phillips in the
fifth inning, then got Phillips to
hit into a double play.
Ford, staked to a four-run
Irarf in the first inning when
Eddie Robinson smashed his
10th homer with two on off los
er Steve Gromek squandered
half that margin in the bottom
of the inning when he gave up
a home to Al Kaline with one
on.
Harvey Kueen homered to
open the fifth for Detroit and
then Bill Tuttle walked, Kaline
singled and Phillips ran the
count to three balls and no
strikes. Konstanty came on and
gave up only a single to Harry
Malmberg the rest of the way.
Five-Game League
The victory stretched the
Yankees' lead in the American
league to five games.
The Red Sox beat the skidding
Indians, .4-2, handing Cleveland
its third defeat in a row. Herb
Score started for the Tribe but
was knocked out for the second
time in three games although he
struck out nine in the five in
nings he worked. Errors by
Score and Jim Hegan helped the
Red Sox score two runs in the
third and they added the
clincher in the fourth on dou
bles by Jim Piersall and pitcher
Frank Sullivan. Ellis Kinder
came into the game in the ninth
to preserve Sullivan's sixth win.
Art Ditmar survived a rocky
start and capped a fourth-inning
four-run rally with a two-run
single that gave the Kansas City
Athletics a 4-2 victory over the
Washington Senators. Southpaw
Chuck Stobbs went the distance
for the Senators, yielding all of
Kansas City's runs in the fourth
when they put together two hits,
three walks and an error by
Bob Kline for their winning
margin.
The Cubs continued to get
good pitching and timely hit
ting to beat the Pirates, 6-2, and
chop a half game off Brooklyn's
National league lead.
Cub Cut Dodger Lead
Paul Minner held Pittsburgh
to six hits, including Frank
Thomas' fifth homer, but it was
a seventh inning homer by the
veteran Walker Cooper that
snapped a 2-all tie and put Chi

cago in front for good. The Cubs,
now 8Vi games off the pace,
chased loser Bob Purkey with
three more runs in the eighth.
Robin Roberts achieved his
ninth victory with a smooth
three-hit effort that gave the
Phillies a 2-0 decision over the
Cardinals. Roberts ' struck out
nine and didn't walk a man to
beat rookie Larry Jackson. The
Phils broke a scoreless tie in
the sixth on singles by Granny
Hamner and Del Ennis along
with Jim Greengrass' sacrifice
fly, then scored again in the
eighth on a pair of singles
wrapped around an infield out.

STUDS TAKE ON BANDON
ON SATURDAY SUNDAY
Hometown talent is much in
evidence on the roster of the
Bandon Millers who play the
Medford Cheney Studs here this
week end in a Southern Oregon
Baseball League series. And the
Millers list one former Cheney
player.
The clubs mix at 8 p.m. at the
fairgrounds on Saturday and at
2 p.m. on Sunday. Bandon bows
into the loop this week.
Ray Straton, who has been
high school coach at Bandon
may be skipper of the club for
week end series. He's a third
baseman who also may see
pitching duly.
From Bandon's District 6 A-2
championship prep team of two
seasons back are three players
who have been playing college
ball this year. Allen Prewitt,
who attained no hit pitching
fame in high school is with the
Millers after a year at Linfield
college. Vic Backlund, catcher
and long ball hitter, has been at
Willamette university. Wimpy
Hastings, second baseman, has
been performing for the Oregon
Frosh.
Moose Blevins
A pair of outfielders for Ban
don finished high school careers
in that town this spring. They
are Jack McMahon and Mike
Carver. A catcher and outfieldev
Frank Jarvis, has been a coach
at Bandon high.
Other outfielders are Clyde
(Moose) Blevins, the former
Medford Cheney Studs player
and Pete Goodbrod, ex-Oregon
State collegian, who was with
Bandon in 1953 in the South
western Oregon League.
Herb Marino, the likely short
stop, played with Coos Bay
North Bend last year. Bill John
son, first base, is an ex-pro who
was with Coquille in 1953.
Others, not currently listed,
may be with the club for the
trek to Medford.
Maddox Expected
With Marv Scherf headed for
National Guard camp the Studs
hope to have Terry Maddox on
hand from University of Oregon
to join forces with Warren
Noyes and Derald Wooton on the
pitching staff. The school term
at UO winds up this week and
Maddox's family expected him
home today.

Racers Eye
Second Spot
At Belmont
New York (U.R) Who's afraid
of Nashua?
Earlier this week only three
horses were expected to oppose
the Belair bullet in Saturday's
Belmont Stakes, but several
other trainers indicated they
would name their horses, too,
when the entries close today.
Listed now as probable rivals
for Nashua in the last of the
triple crown classics are Jabneh,
Portersville, Blazing Count, Fly
ing Fury, Retamero and Little
Dell, while Mr. Al L, Uncle Gus
and Smoky Hill were bracketed
as "possible" entries.
The surprising number of
trainers who are willing to risk
their horses against such a heavy
favorite as Nashua was explain
ed, partially by the Belmont's
$20,000 purse for second place,
which is a handsome run for a
runner-up, even in this era of
richly endowed stake races.
In other words, most horse
men already are conceding the
race to Nashua but they believe
their horses still have a chance
at that second-place "pocket
money." Also, a S10.000 purse
is awarded the . third finisher
and $5,000 goes to the fourth
horse.

Upland Game
Bird Habitat
Work Done
Portland Despite the snow,
rain, and mud which hampered
operations, habitat improvement
crews have just completed their
annual spring planting of shrubs
and trees for upland game bird
food and cover. This is the word
from Frank Stanton, chief of
habitat improvement, Oregon
State Game Commission.
Throughout the state approx
imately 150,000 seedlings of
selected sorts were set out as
windbreaks, hedge rows, and
erosion control projects, with
the heaviest plantings concent
rated in the wheat land section
of the Columbia basin . The
planting are for the future bene
fit of both landowners and wild
life. In addition to the maintenance
of the planting, the crews will
now shift their attention to
field waterway developments.
In the fall, improvement of these
sites will be rounded out with
the seeding of perennial grasses.
These permanent grass areas on
eroding spots, wasteways, and
corners will provide cover and
feeding for young broods. Block
plantings were also permitted on
many otherwise unused waste
areas by cooperating land
owners. Waterfowl, as well as upland
game, will receive a boost in
food supplies on management
areas and cooperatives land
owners projects with approx
imately 300 acres of land tilled
and planted into small grains.
Several hundred more acres are
currently being seeded to other
varieties of food crops for use
next winter.
According to Stanton, utiliza
tion of food and cover plantings
by wildlife has shown a steady
increase since the habitat im
provement program began in
1948. "The heavy utilization,"
Stanton said, "points out how
dependent ' wildlife are upon
three basic needs - food, water,
and shelter. Wherever we find
or provide these three needs, we
also find an abundance of wild
life. Our program is designed to
provide those three needs."
Solon Says
Bar Russia
In Olympics
Washington (U.R) Sen. John
Marshall Butler (R-Md.) believes
Russia should be barred from
the Olympic Games unless they
stop "polluting" the games with
"professionalism ."
Addressing civic groups at
Friendship Airport in nearby
Maryland Thursday night, Butler
said Red athletes should be bar
red from the 1956 games "until
such time as they show some re
spect for the cardinal rules of the
games."
Butler said the Olympics, since
their revival in 1896, have al
ways barred "even the slightest
taint of professional m or com
mercialism." He said Moscow has 12 million
"professional" athletes who
"have their sinister eyes fixed
on the 1956 Olympic Games.
"And their ulterior motive is
not to advance the cause of fair
play and sportsmanship but in
ternational Communist domina
tion," he said.

Trabert was pitted against Don

Still thrilled by his repeat vic
tory in the French championships
last weekend, Trabert bounced

In 6-0 Portland Victory
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Art Schult's big bat helped the
Seattle Rainiers cut the San
Diego Padres down another peg
in the Pacific Coast league last
night.
The burly left fielder hit a
two-run homer in the fourth
inning and then broke up a tie
game in the 12th inning with a
two-run double to give the Rai
niers a 6-4 victory. The wm
shaved the front-running Pads'
margin over second-place Seattle
to five games.
Both starting pitchers went
the distance in the seesaw con
test. Howie Judson yielded nine
hits to gain his third win after
two defeats. Cal McLish (5-4)
was tagged for 13 safeties.
Excellent southpaw pitching
featured other PCL games. Hol
lywood climbed into third place
with a 7-0 win over Los Ange
les behind Roger Bowman's five

second straight shutout victory
since coming to the Stars from
Pittsburgh.
