Kretlow Throws Shutout
For Suds; Seals Rap Pads;
Beavers Hang
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Seattle newcomer Lou Kret-
low's second straight shutout
pitching performance helped the
Rainiers trim San Diego's lead
in the Pacific Coast League tc
two games last night.
Second place Seattle downed
Oakland, 5-0, behind Kretlow's
five-hit hurling while the San
Francisco Seals toppled San
Diego 9-4 with a 15-hit barrage.
Bill Werle southpawed Port

Coast Loop
Attendance
Said Lagging
San Francisco CU.Rj Claire
Goodwin, president of the fal
tering Pacific Coast League, said
today that one reason for the big
skid in attendance dates back to
"complacency on the part of
some people in the business."
"By that, I mean the condition
of a lot of the parks in this
league," Goodwin said. "We
have to get better parks to help
bring the fans back. There are
only three really good ones in
the league at Los Angeles,
Seattle and San Francisco."
Goodwin said that plans were
being considered for building a
recreation center in Oakland
which would include a ball park
for the Oaks. Their lease on the
ramshackle Emeryville Ball
Park ends after this season.
Of course, the Oaks may not
wait for any community center
to be finished. Rumors continue
to fly that owner C. L. (Brick)
Laws will ship his franchise up
to Vancouver next year.
Grimmer Turn
The Oakland situation took a
grimmer turn last Sunday when
only 2,185 came out to see the
double header with Hollywood.
A United Press check of the
eight ball clubs shows that after
12 weeks of baseball, PCL at
tendance is 108,588 behind last
season at the same time.
Goodwin admitted that his
rosy prediction of three million
attendance for the league was
washed up. Nor would he esti
mate how many the PCL will
finish up with.
What about franchise shifts?
"They might help the league if
made after a proper study," is
the way Goodwin phrased it. ,
Managers Bobby Bragan of
Hollywood and Tommy Heath
of San Francisco have been
quoted as' favoring weekend
baseball with games restricted
to Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Goodwin pronounced the idea
as "a bad experiment" while
Damon Miller, president of
Heath's club, claimed that his
manager was misquoted.
"Week end baseball would be
strictly bush," Miller said.

Lewiston Lends
Hand To Salem
By UNITED PRESS
First place Salem had some
breathing room in the North
west League today thanks to the
lowly Lewiston Broncs.
Lewiston came through with
2-1 and 9-8 victories over Eu
gene last night to send the Em
raids down to third spot three
games off the pace. Idle Wenat
chee moved into second spot.
Salem, meanwhile, did itself
no harm with 2-0 and 6-5 victor
ies over Sookane. Tri-City ham
mered Yakima 17-3.
Some redwood' trees have
bark up to two feet thick.
MAIL TRIBUNE
McReynolds had been one of the
tourney favorites.
A trio of Medford golfers
came through. Phil Getchell
downed co-medalist Dom Pro
vost, 3 and 2; George Harrington
took the measure of Dusty
Woods of McMinnville 3 and 2,
and Harry Millette edged Jim
Miller of Portland on the 19th
hole.
Carol Kabler Victor
In other men's matches, Don
Bick of Coos Bay came through
On To Third
geles to keep the Beavers in
third place, and Hollywood hung
on to fourth with a 4-2 decision
over Sacramento as Bob Garber
registered his 11th win.
Kretlow, husky righthander
obtained recently from Balti
more, walked five and struck
out six. He was in trouble only
in the fourth when the Oaks
loaded the bases with one out
But he struck out Len Neal and
forced pinch-hitter Bill Serena
to fly to right.
Bearden Wins 12th Game
In San Francisco, veteran
Gene Bearden became the first
PCL pitcher to win a dozen
games this season although he
was nicked for 11 hits. He has
lost three.
Hal Rico's solo homer in the
first inning gave Angel hurler
Hy Cohen (1-4) a lead that he
preserved until the seventh
when Portland tied it up on Joe
Taylor's 10th homer.
The Beavers won it for Werle
(9-3) in the next inning with a
three-run flurry off reliefer
Turk Lown after Cohen had put
two men on. A two-run double
by Carl Powis was the key blow.

Seven Studs
Rate Berths
In Star Mix
Seven members of the Wash
ington Cheney Studs baseball
squad were participants on June
20 in ' the Seattle versus State
all-star doubleheader in the Pug
et Sound metropolis.
That's evidence of the talent
and ability of the youthful con
tingent which will be seen at
the fairgrounds ball yard here
two week ends from now. The
Washington Studs and Medford
Cheney Studs, two, clubs spon
sored by the same firm, will be
rivals Saturday night, July 9,
and Sunday afternoon, July 10.
Heading the list of players on
the Washington club who were
in the all-star frays is Luther
Carr, an all-everything athlete
from Tacoma's Lincoln high who
plays in the outfield. However,
it was Bob Jacobs, shorstop from
West Seattle high and Studs'
infielder, who took most valu
able player laurels.
All 18 or Under
Other Studs who saw all-star
duty were Jerry Jackson, first
baseman, Highland, Wash.; Dave
Beach, third baseman, Bain
bridge, Wash.; Bob Hibler, pitch
er, Queen Anne high, Seattle;
Ray Christianson, catcher, and
George Kritsonis, pitcher, Seat
tle university.
Players for the star tilts were
high school seniors, college
players and sandlotters, all 18
years of age or under. Jacobs
for his award gets to join the
United States all-star squad on
August 10 for the Hearst nation
al game in the Polo grounds.
The seven are but a few of
the talented players on the Chen
ey roster. They are mostly from
University of Washington, Seat
tle U and high schools of the
Seattle-Tacoma area.
A standout is Monte Geiger,
U of W, a pitcher. The press
and eight major league scouts
picked him as the most valuable
player last year in the Northwest
regional tourney of the Ameri
can Baseball- congress. The
Studs won the regional banner
but lost two straight in the
national tournament. Dick Naish,
infielder from SU, was a close
second to Geiger in the regional
MVP voting. At 23 he is the
oldest player on the squad.
But its Carr who has been
drawing the raves. The 18-year-old
football halfback, track
sprinter and broad jumper and
baseballer recently brought ela
tion to Husky fans with the an
nouncement that he plans to en
roll at University of Washing
ton. In baseball he is rated a great
pro prospect. He climaxed his
prep diamond career in May
with a winning homer in a play
off game in Tacoma. A couple
of days later he broad jumped
23 feet 7 inches for a new state
record. The leap was longer than
the winning jump the same day
in the Pacific Coast conference
meet.
Cheney Lumber company is
the sponsor of both the Medford
and Washington Studs.

SMITH DEFEATS CARTER
FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TOGA
Boston (U.R) Wallace (Bud)
Smith said today he fought 15
fights to win the world's light
weight championship.
"I fought every round like it
was a different fight," the 26-year-old
Cincinnati, O., battler
said today after winning a split
decision Wednesday night from
Jimmy Carter.
Smith gave the former cham
pion perhaps the worst beating
in lifting the crown from Carter
who had lost it previously to
two other fighters. The fight was
nationally televised from hot and
muggy Boston Garden.
Though it was Carter's 11th
championship bout, it was
Smith's first crack at the title.
"I knew I was going to win it
and I wouldn't let him, Carter,
change my plans," Smith said.
"I planned to fight every round
like it was a different fight and
I wouldn't let him do anything
to stop me," he said.
Discuss Left Hoks
Smith, a 3-1 underdog and a
quarter of a pound lighter than
Carter at 134, hammered Carter
with vicious left hooks. A crowd
of 1,983 hardly knew Smith had
a right until he started using

"However, Smith didn't need his
r.ight. He sliced openi cuts over
both of Carter's eyes in the
fourth round and had his op
ponent's face and shorts covered
with blood at the final bell.
Smith could hardly see from a
cut suffered in the 11th. Smith's
cut bothered him little as he
matched Carter blow-for-blow
and then some over the last
third of the fight.
Smith suffered a split decision
loss to Carter in 1950 and had
chased the 31-year-old ex-champion

Kelly, Cooney Shine
As Studs Club Stars
Jim Kelly turned in a 21-
strikeout mound job and Jack
Cooney provided the heaviest
slugging in the early frames
last night in a Medford Cheney
Studs' 21 to 3 assault of the
Scott Valley Stars of Fort Jones,
Calif.
Medford simply outclassed
and overwhelmed the California
nine by getting a 16 to 0 jump
in the first three innings. Ten
of the runs were pushed over
in the first inning as the Studs
took advantage of six hits and
five bases on Dalls.
Cooney sparked the opening
canto onslaught with a triple
end a single which drove in four
of the counters. He socked an
other three-baser to bring home
another runner in the second
inning when the Studs ran up
four tallies.
Kelly, throwing seven-hit ball,
had only two rough innings and
he might have had a five-hitter
had it not been for a dropped
third strike in the ninth stanza.
He issued only one walk but
heaved two wild pitches which
helped around a run. Several
good fielding plays by team
mates aided his cause.
Three In Sixth
Scott Valley reached Kelly for
three hits in the sixth inning.
They were collected by Don
True, Rod Vinall and Dale
Evans, but only two did damage
True went to third base on
Vinall's swat and scored on a
passed ball which let Vinall go
to second. One wild pitch got

Standouts Inked
By San Francisco
San Francisco U.R) The
San Francisco Seals signed two
high school baseball sensations
in less than 12 hours yesterday
and Seal President Damon Mil
ler described them as "the
brightest prospects to come out
of Northern California high
schools" in recent years.
First to sign the Seals con
tract was right handed pitcher
Lowell Creighton from Jeffer
son High School in Daly City.
Jim Stoll of Rio Vista was sign
ed not long after as a catcher.
The 18 - year - old Creighton
pitched five shutouts and com
piled a four-year earned run
mark of 1.06 a game while in
high school. At Jefferson, he
broke a school record with 21
strikeouts in a single game, best
ing that of Eddie Cereghino,
bonus baby now playing with
the Sacramento Solons.
Stoll, 17, racked up a four
year high school batting average
of .500 and was leading the Sac
ramento Valley League while
playing as a member of the Rio
Vista town team. Stoll is 5 feet
11 inches tall and weighs 175
pounds.
