-MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Cleveland Clubs Yankees To Tighten Raee; Brooklyn Opens Up Hide Gap By FRED DOWN United Prest Sports Wriltr The Cleveland Indians re established the American league race as a three-team battle today but there's still no challenger In sight for the runaway Brook lyn Dodgers in the National league. That was the result of the weekend's two big series in which the Indians set out to prove they're still the team to beat and the Chicago Cubs sought to demonstrate they're legitimate pennant contenders. The Indians answered their challenge in brilliant style when they took three of four games from the New York Yankees and climaxed the series with rous ing 10-2 and 7-3 triumphs before 69,532 the largest crowd of the year. The Dodgers, however, walloped the Cubs three out of four, rebounding from a 9-5 loss Sunday to gain a split with a 6-2 triumph in the nightcap. As a result, the races shaped up as follows today: The Yankee's first-place lead in the A.L. was cut to 2V2 games over the Chicago White Sox and to 3V4 games over the defending champion Indians. The White Sox, who have been get ting the best pitching in the ma jors, swept a three-game series with 1-0 and 8-4 victories over the Washington Senators. Dodgers Stretch Lead In the N.L., the Dodgers have opened up a massive lOVi-game lead on the second-place Cubs and lead the third-place New York Giants by 14 games. They are rolling on a skein of seven wins in eight games, 11 in 13 and 16 in 20. A ".500-pace for the remainder of the season would give them 92 victories. Early Wynn pitched a five-hitter for his eighth victory and Bob Lemon also gained his eighth triumph although he needed help from Mike Garcia in the ninth. Wynn, Larry Doby, Vic Wertz and George Strick land all homered as the Indians sent Bob Turley to his fifth loss. Wertz's second homer of the day and ninth of the year featured the Indians' four-run seventh inning that won the nightcap. The victories were doubly im pressive because they gave the Indians a 6-2 edge over the Yankees in their season series. The Tribe was only 11-11 against the Yankees last season, and, in fact, no team has won a sea son series from New York dur ing Manager Casey Stengel's re gime which began in 1949. ' Newcombe's Win Streak Ends Don Newcombe's 10-game win ning streak came to an end as Harry Chiti, Ransom Jackson and Dee Fondy homered in the opener for the Cubs but the Dod gers gained a split with the aid of Clem Labine's brilliant, one-run relief pitching for five innings in the second game. Jim Davis won his fourth game for the Cubs while Labine's victory was his fifth straight in an unbeat- Owner of Swaps Agrees To Race Under Conditions Inglewood (U.R) Rex Ellsworth, owner of Kentucky Derby winner Swaps, said to day that he was agreeable to a match race with Nashua pro vided the race was held at the Hollywood Park on any date except July 9. Hollywood Park has offered to post a $100,000 purse for a winner take all match meeting between the two nation's top three-year-olds. Ellsworth, who discussed pos sibilities of such a race with William Woodward Jr., owner of Nashua, last week said both horses are at their peak. "If we waited two months or more until we have fullfilled our objective in the American Derby in Chicago late in Aug ust, one or more horses may have tailed off," Ellsworth said. Perfect Condition "I pointed out that he, Mr. Woodward, desired the match race, and by coming to Holly wood Park he would be ship ping into perfect conditions," Ellsworth said. He objected to July 9 as a date for the match race because Swaps is entered in the Western er at Hollywood Park on the same day. Nashua, beaten by Swaps in the Kentucky Derby, scored an impressive victory in the $100, 000 Belmont Stakes in New York Saturday while Swaps set a new world's record for a mile and a sixteenth in the $100,000 Californian at Hollywood Park. TO SET FAST PACE Asbury Park, N. J. U.R) Manager Sid Flaherty predicted today that Bobo Olson will "set a blinding pace" for his title fight with light' heavyweight champion Archie Moore, June 22. "Speed will be the important factor in this fight and I want Bobo to be fully prepared to travel the 15 rounds at top speed," Flaherty said. en season. Billy Pierce, who has allowed only one run and 15 hits in his last three games, tossed a five hitter for his fifth win and then Dick Donovan gained his sev enth victory behind an eight-hit White Sox attack that included Bob Nieman's grandslam homer in the midst of a seven-run, third inning outburst.

Terry Maddox, who turned in a six-hitter in his 1955 pitching starter for the Studs, romped home with the winning run yes terday as Medford nicked Ban don 3 to 2. Maddox, who threw "just junk" at the Millers be cause of an ailing shoulder, tripled in the eighth inning. He scored when the throw-in from centerfield got by Third Base man Ray Stratton. Goat of the Sunday brush, Stratton was, nevertheless, the hero on Saturday night when Bandon won 5 to 2. He bludgeon ed out a two-run homer and, on the mound, held the Studs to three hits. The roundtripper, smashed over the left field fence, was the first out-of-the-park hit at the fairgrounds in a couple of seasons. Both encounters moved along at a rapid, crowd-pleasing pace. Action was completed in two hours on Saturday and the final out was recorded after an hour and 40 minutes yesterday.

PGL All-Star Encounter Tonight By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Pacific Coast League holds its annual All-Star base ball game in San Diego tonight, but Hollywood's Bob Garber, who was plenty of all-star yes terday, was taking a well-deserved day off. All Garber did Sunday was pitch a four-hitter in the first game and blast two home runs and then win the second game in relief to lift the Stars into third place in the league stand ings. Garber authored the 16-1 first game win over Los Angeles and then pitched scoreless relief ball in the second to take a 5-4 de cision. Seattle stunned first place San Diego twice 8-2 and 3-2 to move to within three games of the top. And San Francisco New Record In Decathlon Kingsburg, Calif. U.R) Rafer Johnson, 19-year-old freshman sensation from UCLA, has re placed Bob Mathias as holder of the decathlon world record. Johnson returned to his home town Saturday to run up a point total of 7983 in the Central Cali fornia AAU Decathlon cham pionships nearly 100 points more than Mathias' world record of 7887. The young track and field star swept to victory in eight of the 10 events, tied for first in another and placed a close sec ond in the tenth in establishing his record. Johnson surpassed Mathias total with an outstanding per formance in the final event of the two-day program the 1500 meter race. day and after Stratton's homer Saturday a three-baser brought in another counter. Both clubs needed all the extra bases their hits could get because of . pitcher stinginess. Warren Noyes, like Maddox, yielded six swats on Saturday. Yesterday Allen Prewett held the Studs to five. Bandon pushed over both its runs before Medford scored yes terday. Vic Backlund drove them in. He singled after Pat Rooney's double in the second stanza and two-baggered after Moreno's single in the fourth.- Mellbye drew a walk for the Studs in the fourth canto. He went to second on Jack Cooney's groundout and hurt a toe sliding into the sack. Larry Bigham took over as a courtesy runner and Bill McLean's three base swat brought him home. Mellbye, al though the toe was sore, finished the game at shortstop. Fred Luper got the other of Medford's long blows in the fifth. Ed McCullough's flyout allowed him to score. Stratton's home run in the sixth panel broke the scoring ice for both clubs Saturday. The circuit clout followed a base on balls to Moose Blevins. In the eighth Blevins tripled home Pete Goodbrod, who had walked. Hits by Herb Moreno and Wimpy Hastings, an error and a wild pitch were responsible for two additional scores in the ninth. Medford got its two runs in the eighth inning. Maddox walk ed, and Mellbye tripled him home. Howard Morris's flyout allowed Mellbye to reach the plate. . Stratton, normally a third baseman or outfielder, and Mad dox used "stuff' to fashion their victories. The Miller tosser sel dom threw hard and Maddox didn't bear down because of pull ed ligaments suffered three weeks ago. Holding back in order to be available for Sunday relief if needed, Stratton had the "junk" and control to restrain the Med ford batters. And he got almost perfect support from his fielders, including two double plays. The one Miller error did no damage. Stratton whiffed five batters and walked two while his rival, Noyes, fanned seven and issued five free passes. Two of Noye's bases on balls and on Stratton's were costly. Maddox got stronger after al lowing four hits in the early in nings. Infield and outfield sup port proved more than adequate. Two Stud errors didn't hurt although they had Maddox in tough spots.

He matched the scores turned in by Australia's Peter Thomson and Belgium's Flory van Donck. In the playoff, Van Donck was eliminated at the second hole with a bogey five. Thomson then fired a drive into the rough. The Australian's recovery landed a few yards short of Furgol's drive ana that ended the match as Furgol played safe for his par.

No batter got more than one hit on Saturday but yesterday Backlund hit two for three and Maddox two for four. Oddity of the afternoon yes terday came in the second inning when Mellbye made a long run for a fly ball. He couldn't quite hang onto it but managed to flip the pellett to Outfielder McLean who made the catch for the put- out.
