TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, June 21, I95S Giants Lose, 5-3, For 5th Loss; Cards Beat Phillies By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer And w ossritaahre And what is so rare as a day in June when the world cham pion Giants win a ball game? Maybe panic hasn't set in yet with the skidding New Yorkers, but it would be mighty risky for anyone to holler "fire" in the Giant dugout because it might start a stampede. What makes it so depressing for Manager Leo Durocher's de parting heroes is that June in 1354 was their hottest month when they compiled a 24-4 won and lost record and took com mand of the National League race for good. This year their mark is a sad 7-11, including the most recent five defeats in a row, and you can't convince even an old crap-shooting ex pert like Durocher that there's anything lucky about that kind of a natural pass. ' Monday night, resurgent Cin cinnati, cashing in on an error by starting pitcher Jim Hearn, put over four runs in the fifth inning, and went on to win a 5-3 decision behind the eight-hit pitching of Art Fowler. It was Fowler's first complete game of the year after eight previous starts in which he was kayoed. Gates Open In Fifth There were singles by Gus Bell, Bobby Adams, Roy McMil lan, and Johnny Temple and a double by Stan Ralys in addi tion to the throwing error by Hearn that opened the gates for Cincy in the fifth. Dusty Rhodes had put the Giants out front with a homer earlier and they made it close for awhile when Bill Taylor pinch-hit a two-run homer in the seventh. However, Cincinnati added a final run in the eighth on singles by Hobie Landrith, McMillan, and Fowler. Lefty Luis Arroyo, who is bidding to win "rookie of the year" honors for the St. Louis Cardinals for the second season in a row, gained his eighth vic tory, a 4-1 seven-hitter over the Phillies. In the only other major league game scheduled, lean Gene Conley of the Braves bested Vernon Law of the Pi rates, 2-1, in a duel in which both teams made only four hits.

SLPdDIFirS Golfers In Practice For Western At Portland Club Portland (U.R) The golfer who can keep his driver and wedge hot will be the winner" of the $15,000 Western Open Golf championship here June 23-26, the host pro said today. Larry Lanr()erger, profession al at the Portland Golf club who is familiar with every blade of grass in the lush, rolling course, also said he didn't believe the 261 fired by Ben Hogan in win ning the 1945 Portland Open over the same course would be equalled, or even, threatened. That year Hogan chalked up 18-hole rounds of 65, 69, 63 and 64, a record which still stands for a par-72 course. Hogan, who played in the Na tional Open in San Francisco, was not expected to compete here. ' 275 May Win Lamberger said he believed a score of 275 would be good enough for the title. He said pos sible winners are Gene Littler, Ed (Porky) Oliver, Sam Snead and Julius Boros. 'Of course, any one of those fellows is apt to win any time, anywhere," he added. The Portland course will measure a little more than 6000 yards for the four-day event. The rough is not too devastat ing and the greens are excel lent. Lamberger predicts good putters will have a field day in dropping In lone ones. Lamberger figures the good drivers will reach most of the par-fours with a drive and a Eighth flight Darrell Miller vs. Bunny Barrell, Frank Allen bye. W. O. Blackledge vs. E. K. Ricker.

Snead Fires 64 Portland (U.R) Slammin' Sammy Snead found the Port land Golf club course to his lik ing and shot a practice round of 64 yesterday as he tuned up for thd Western Open starting Thursday. Snead went out in 30 strokes and came home in 34. He got an eagle on the 18th hole, one which Host Pro Larry Lamberger said he had never seen eagled before. Gardiner Dickinson, a protege of Ben Hogan, shot a 67. Several other stars, including Cary Middlecoff, Marty Furgol, Gene Littler and Julius Boros, were on hand already.. Seattle Is Host To Portland Portland !U.R) The Port land Beavers, on a six-gam winning stxtak, run into the red-hot second place Seattle Rainiers tonight in the opener of a seven-game series at Vaughn street ball park. Seattle has won nine straight and 14 out of its last 17. Ewell Blackwell. the former Cincinnatti "whip," will pitch for Seattle tonight against Southpaw Royce Lint of the Beavers. There were no games in the Pacific Coast League last night. Other games tonight find Hollywood at Oakland. San Francisco at Los Angeles and Sacramento at San Diego. Seeks' New World Mark In Sprint San Francisco U.R) Jim Golliday, Northwestern Univer sity's great sprinter, will be seek ing a new world record in the 100-yard dash when the Pacific Coast Conference and the Big Ten tangle in their 14th renewal of their track and field feud today. Golliday tied the world rec ord of 9-3 earlier this year and on the fast track at Edwards field may be able to better that. He also is given a very good chance of erasing a 13-year-old mark for the meet, the 9.5 set by Hal Davis of California in 1942, and equalled by Willie Williams of Illinois in 1953. The Pacific Coast Conference, with an 8-5 lead in victories, again is i favored to win this meet with the major portion of the help coming from the USC Trojans, recent winners of the NCAA championship. Young Bobby Seaman of UCLA, who recently was clock ed in 4:01.4 for the mile, has announced he will run in the half-mile, instead for this meet, so there isn't much chance of a world record there. But Bill Dellinger and Jim Bailey of Oregon and Sid Wing of the Trojans both have bettered the meet mark of 4:09.4 set by Don Lash of Indiana in 1937. Mt. Shasta Opponent Of Studs Wednesday Medford's Cheney Studs enter tain another foe from the North ern California League Wednes day. They battle Mt.. Shasta in a non-league go at the fair grounds at 8 p.m. It will be a non-loop scrape. Exact strength of the Cali fornians hasn't been learned here. However, the Shastans are reported as current co-holders Frick May Nullify Trade Of Pope and Westlake New York (U.R) Commis sioner Ford Frick may nullify the Cleveland-Baltimore deal of last week because of the refusal of infielder Billy Cox to report to the Indians. : Frick was asked by General Manager Hank Greenberg of the Indians to adjust the deal. "I don't want to make any of ficial comment at .this time until I review the entire case," Frick said. "But the baseball rules on such a situation are pretty defin ite. Under the rules, if a player in a deal does not report to a Mentor Doubts Amateur Status Of Russians Under Olympic Rules Moscow (U.R) Bob Hoff man, coach of the United States weight - lifting team, believes many star Russian athletes are not amateurs "under Olympic rules." The U.S. team tied a Russian team, 3-3, in six weights com peted in at meets in Moscow and Leningrad during a 10-day stay in Russia. The Americans were guests at a lavish farewell party in the Hotel Metropole Sunday night. Both American and Soviet sports officials asked in speeches for in creased sports relations between the two nations in the interest of friendship. . Hoffman, of York, Pa., ex pressed high praise of Soviet teams but also doubt as to their compliance with Olympic ama teur rules. "I don't think the Soviet ath letes are amateurs," said Hoff man, "I think they are devoting all their time to sport and they are being paid. I don't think they qualify as amateurs under Olym pic rules. They train two or three times daily and never have less than three months of competi tion, frequently six. And if they do that, I don't see how they can work. Lots of Money "They seem to have lots of money," said Hoffman. "Each one says he is a student, plumber or mechanic, but they don't work at a trade. "The Soviets were surprised that we do not receive money from the United States govern ment," said Hoffman. "We told them we must raise all the money from the people." Hoffman, asked if American athletes qualify as amateurs un der the same standards, replied, "Our athletes spend a good amount of time at their sport and traveling, but they receive only expenses and they sacrifice their positions and advancement in their - own professions." ' The six members of the Amer ican team and the three officials accompanying them each was presented a Soviet camera at Sunday night's farewell party. Brenn Improves After Accident Portland (U.R) -Bruce Brenn, young football prospect at the University of Oregon who was injured in an auto accident in southeast Washington Saturday, was reported in improved con dition in a local hospital today. Brenn, who transferred to Oregon from Boise Junior Col lege where he was a star, end, suffered a mild concussion, a fractured nose and several scalp lacerations when the truck and trailer he was driving jack knifed near Paterson Ferry on a curve. He was brought to Port land from Umatilla yesterday. Use Tribune Want Ads club, that club can call the deal off entirely if it wants to." If that were the case, outfield ers Dave Pope and Wally West lake would return to. Cleveland outfielder Gene Woodling would go back to Baltimore. The Ori oles also would be. saddled with responsibility for getting the re luctant Cox back into action if such can be done. Greenberg in Cleveland, tele phoned Frick after a talk with Cox in which he said it was ob vious the former Dodger star would not join the Indians. However, Greenberg was not asking Frick to cancel out the entire deal. He stated in the wire that he was "officially request ing that the Cox phase of the deal be cancelled and that an adjust ment be awarded the Cleveland club in lieu of the services of this player." Americans Are Favored in Wimbledon Wimbledon, England (U.R) The spotlight shifts to Women's singles and men's doubles today in the Wimbledon tennis cham pionships with America's title favorites, Doris Hart, Tony Tra bert, and Vic Seixas. all booked to appear on the historic center court. Miss Hart, the plucky U. S. singles champion from Miami, Fla., is top-seeded and heavily favored for the women's singles crown. Maureen (Little Mo) Con nolly of San Diego, Calif., cham pion for the last three years, married recently and retired from tennis. Trabert and Seixas are frank ly regarded as the best amateur doubles team in the world, but observers are wondering if Jheir recent surprise defeat by an ob scure Italian team in a minor tournament means they are off form.

Shasta nine has fared with the Yreka Indians, a team Medford has licked three times so far this year.

Yes, we've used it before in a few fights, including the one with Joey Maxim on April 13." Dr. Vincent Nardiello of the commission's staff said today he believed permission would be given although oxygen hadn't been used in a New York ring for years "not since the late Pete Reilly used it on some of his fighters." Meanwhile, it appeared the oxygen might be necessary, for Moore became a 2-1 betting fa vorite, and bookies said he prob ably would go into the rin& at 3-1. A poll of 26 sports writers resulted in 19 picking Moore to win and only seven selecting Ol son. Eleven of the 19 Moore voters predicted a kayo.
