BIGHT KZDFOJtD (OREGON) Major Loop Pitchers Have Hitting Picnic In Sunday Conflicts Br MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Pitchers in both leagues stag ed their own "hitting picnic" Sunday and the majority of them certainly had their fill at the plate. Guys like Willard Nixon of the Red Sox, Alex Kellner and Ray Herbert of the Athletics, Vern Law of the Pirates, Jackie Collum of the Redlegs and Ned Garver oi the Tigers got in some mighty fine licks Sunday as hurl ers in both circuits slammed a total of 18 hits and drove in 11 runs. Nixon exploded a three - run double in the seventh inning of the opener to break a 2-all tie and give the Red. Sox a 5-2 vic tory over the White Sox. Bos ton then went on to win its 16th game in 20 starts by taking the second game, 8-2, behind Tom Brewer. Kellner not only hurled a one hitter against the Orioles in beat ing them, 1-0; in the first of two games, but his second single of the contest drove in the only run in the sixth inning. Herbert drove in two runs in the nighjtcap to help the Athletics sweep the twin-bill, 5-2, and hang the sev enth straight defeat on Balti more. Law was instrumental in end ing Pittsburgh's six-game losing streak when he drove in three runs with a home run and a single to beat the cubs, 5-4. But big Bob Rush gave up only five hits in pitching the Cubs to a 2-1 triumph in the second game. Collum collected two of Cin cinnati's 17 hits while beating Philadelphia, 16-5, in the opener of a doubleheader as Gus Bell, Stan Palys and Ted Kluszewski each homered, and Art Fowler gave the Redlegs a sweep with a five-hit 5-0 win over the Phils in the finale. Like Collum, Garver also helped himself to two hits al though relief pitcher Al Aber was credited with Detroit's 10 inning 6-4 decision over the Sen . ators. Washington then snapped a nine-game losing streak in the nightcap when Mickey McDer mott beat the Tigers, 12-4, while scattering 10 hits. The Yankees split a double header with the Indians, Cleve land winning the opener, 5-0, as Early Wynn pitched a three-hitter and Ralph Kiner homered, but losing the nightcap, 2-0, as Whitey Ford pitched four-hitter for New York. Even though they split, the Yankees increased their American league lead to three games over the second place White Sox, who dropped both of their games after having won five straight. Braves Shutout Dodgers Bob Buhl limited the Dodgers to five hits in pitching the Braves to a 4-0 victory. Milwau kee broke a scoreless deadlock with a run in the sixth that was set up by PeeWee Reese's er ror and Ed Mathews added the clincher when he poled his 17th homer with two on in the eigth. Ed Roebuck, who relieved Russ Meyer in the fifth after the Dod ger starter was injured in a col lision at first base, was the los er. The Cardinals trounced the Giants in both ends of a double header, 9-2 and 7-2, and left the world champions 17V games off the pace, only one percentage point ahead of the fifth-place Redlegs. Southpaw Harvey Had dix beat the Giants for the first time this season in the opener de spite homers by Whitey Lock man and Don Mueller. Larry Jackson ..was the winner in the second game although he needed relief in the seventh, a frame in which Lockman hit his second homer of the day. Stan Musial smashed his 14th homer in the opener off loser Johnny Anton elli while Red Schoendienst and Bill Virdon each homered for St. Louis in the nightcap.

The Studs had taken a 6 to 5 decision from the Loggers Sat urday night when First Base man Jack Cooney broke up the evening's entertainment with a rousing three-base clout. He capped a three - run rally by driving in the tying and ' win ning runs with the tremendous swat. By the week end spilt Bend took over third spot alone in the SOL standings. Medford dropped into a three-way percentage deadlock for the cellar position with Grants Pass and Bandon since Grants Pass defeated Ban don 3 to 2 on Saturday night and 13 to 10 yesterday. Drain rose into a tie for first place with Coquille by nabbing two week end scuffles from Roseburg. The Black Sox were victors 10 to 9 on Saturday and 3 to 2 on Sunday. Coquille had a bye. Lacked Punch While the Studs were able to surge out strong at the finish on Saturday and while they got plenty of men on base yester day, they just couldn't muster sufficient punch to get runs across in the series finale. And Pitcher Lowell Pearce, the Ore gon State collegian, was too strong at the finish to give the Studs hope yesterday for a Sat urday night repeat. Both Pearce and Hurler Terry Maddox of the Studs were whacked for seven hits. Medford got five off Pearce in the first three innings but couldn't turn them into counters. The Loggers collected two bingles in each of the innings they scored. Twink Pederson, who hit three for five for the afternoon, tagged home for first marker and drove in the other two. He led off the first inning with a double, went to third base on Tommy Bowen's flyout and dashed home on Phil Jantze's single. In the seventh canto Dan Lovejoy and Chuck Christenson were safe on an error and field er's option, respectively, and Pearce sacrificed them to second and third bases. Pederson's hit was the only one needed for the runs although Bowen followed him with a single. 13 Men Stranded Medford left 13 men on base during the game, two each in the six innings and one in another. Pearce retired the side" in order in the eighth and ninth. Bend had seven stranded. The Studs had a great oppor tunity in the sixth inning when Jack Fassett singled and Derald Wooton walked. Then Ron Maur er, appearing for the first time this week end in a Stud uni form, tried to duck away from a pitch. The ball hit his bat and fell fair. Fassett was forced out at third. Wooton was out next trying to swipe third. Ed McCul lough walked but Bob Selsor forced Maurer for another put- out at third. In the first inning a double play spoiled Stud chances. In other frames lead runners were forced out or one or two outs were recorded before Medford men got on base. Pearce whiffed seven batters and walked five. Maddox struck- out three and gave four bases on balls. Fassett was beaned by a Pearce pitch in the second in ning but was able to continue in the game after Larry Bigham served as a courtesy runner. Maddox Doubles On Saturday night Medford went into the final inning trail ing 3 to 5. Chuck DeAutremont, first man up for the Studs, was safe at first base on a muff by Second Baseman Tommy Bowen. Then Terry Maddox lofted a hard hit fly to deep left field. It was good for a two-bagger and DeAutremont tallied. Paul Gehrman, the ex-Stud, came in to relieve big Jim Duff Bothered With . Poison Oak? TRY B & II POISON OAK LOTION Nature's Own Antidote AT YOUR DRUGGIST League; for First on the mound. Medford Twirler Derald Wooten laid down a bunt on Gehrman's fifth pitch. The rap moved Maddox to third base and Wooton was safe on First Baseman Phil Jantzen's miscue. Cooney then blasted his' sec ond pitch from Gehrman far out into right center field. Maddox crossed the plate with the win ning run and Wooton with his own winning marker with no one out. 4 Walks In Inning The three-run surge in the ninth made up for a similar Bend spree in the sixth. Wooton on the hill hurled seven-hit ball against the Loggers and struck out 11 batters. However, he gave up seven walks. Four of the bases on balls were in the sixth canto. Bend used them along a center field single by Curt Jant ze and a squeeze bunt, hit to collect its three counters and take a 4 to 2 lead in the fracas. The Loggers got one run in the first inning on a walk, a sacri fice by Bowen and a hit by. Phil Jantze. Singles by Jack Fassett, Bill McLean and Ed McCul lough in the second frame en abled Medford to catch up at 1 all. The Studs then went ahead 2 to 1 in the fourth ninning when Qooney hit safely, stole second base, got to third on Mc Lean's flyout and crossed the plate on Howard Morris's grounder over second base. Run Forced Over After their big sixth the Log gers made the count 5 to 2 in the seventh on singles by Bowen and Hunt's groundout. But Medford also got a seventh inning counter when DeAutremont walked and Maddox and Cooney singled and Fassett got a base on balls to force over the score. In addition to providing the vital tallies, Cooney was the heavy hitter for the night with three for five. Maddox and Phil Jantze cracked two for four. The Studs got 10 of their 11 hits off Duff, who walked five and fan ned six. Fassett and DeAutremont, along with Maurer, are the most recent Studs' acquisitions. Maur er is an ex-Illinois Valley high and ex-Southern Oregon college athlete. He has been catching previously this year with Fresno of the California League. Fresno is a farm of the St. Louis Cardi nals by whom Maurer was sign ed about two years ago. SATURDAY BOX: Bend an r h po a e Pederson. ss 4 1 0 4 0 0 Bowen. 2b .... 4 11111 Hunt, cf 4 114 0 0 P.
