Faber Scans Loop Rules On Protests A counter argument from the i Chcr.cy Studs Business Manag-; cr Bill Aikwilh has been receiv ed by Donald E. Faber, Southern j Oregon Baseball league presi- i dent, along with Grants Pass Manager Mel Ingram's protest of ; the Elks" Saturday night game ; with the Medford nine. j Faber said yesterday that he j is studying the league .by-laws regarding game protests. He expects to discuss the matter with Umpires Virgil Swanson I and Darrell Copeland on Wed nesday night. A decision on the i protest may be reached shortly j thereafter. ' The issue - arose in the fifth ' inning of the game when GP Hurler Bob Rcid was throwing i wide pitches to intentionally walk Medford's Dcrald Wooton. On the fourth toss Umpire Swan son ruled that Catcher Bobi Smith stepped out of the narrow j confines of his box-before the ; ball left Rcid s hand. Therefore, j a balk was charged againsl Reid. Considerable Squawk The infraction allowed Med ford's Jack Cooney to score from third base and another base run ner, Terry Maddox, to go to third. Since it was a fourth wide pitch, Wooton went to first base. There was considerab.e squawking but the protest did not come until after play had been resumed. And in the pro test the balk was not disputed. Ingram contended instead that Wooton should not have been allowed to remain on first base. He maintained that the ball was dead and that the count was still three balls on. the Medford batter. Although Catcher Smith was called for stepping out of the box, the balk was charged to Reid under the rule that a pitch er is not to throw the ball when the catcher is out of his box. Metro Replaces Player on Shrine Grid Mix Roster Portland A change in the Metropolitan team roster for the eighth annual Shriners' hospital all star football game -scheduled for August 20 in Multnomah -stadium here, has been announc ed by Eugene W. Ferguson, depu ty police chief of Portland and the game's managing director. Ferguson said he had been ad vised that Bob Grant, Beaverton end, would be unable to partici- j pate in the game and that Head Coach Tom DeSylvia of the Metros had selected Morris Arn ston of Portland's Cleveland high as his replacement. Arnston stands 6 feet, 2 irrch s and weighs 225 pounds. De Sylvia said Arnston played tackle for Cleveland last year and will alternate at tackle and end for the Metros. Meanwhile preparations for the annual gridiron classic con tinued to move ahead of sched ule, and the advanced sale of reserved seats was still well in front of the same time a year ago, Ferguson reported.

MedfordJTRIBune NY Opens Critical Series; Dodgers On Western Swing Hall By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The figures will tell you the Yankees are the league-leaders as they open their critical three game series with the runner-up Six Stars Honored At Fame Cooperstown, N.Y. (UP! This little lakeside town where a Civil War general is said to have founded the game of base ball settled back into its quiet way of life today, leaving the normal stream of tourists to ex amine six shiny new plaques in baseball's Hall of Fame. x The plaques honor the six all time stars of the diamond who were officially inducted into the Hall in Monday's colorful cere monies Joe DiMaggio, Ted Lyons, Dazzy Vance, Gabby Hartnett, Frank (Home Run) Baker, and Ray Schalk. All six of the new members were on hand for the ceremon ies, as well as baseball's highest officials. At their conclusion, the an nual major-league exhibition game was played at the field named for Gen. Abner Double day with the Boston Red Sox beating the Milwaukee Braves 4-2, as Ted Williams and Ted Lepcio hit homers to pace Bos ton's attack. Dick Brodowski pitched the full nine innings for Boston, allowing nine hits. DiMaggio, at 40 the youngest man ever inducted into the Hall and therefore the most familiar to present-day fans, stole the show at the induction ceremonies with his brief speech. The former star centerfielder of the New York Yankees con cluded: "This is a happy day for me. The last chapter has been written. I can now close the book." Lyons, who won 260 games in his 21 years as a Chicago White Sox pitcher, said, "This is the greatest thing that can happen to a ball player after he ends his "career." Tigers, LP, CP Win Loop Games Lone Pine scored all its runs in the fourth inning yesterday afternoon to hand Ashland an 8 to 7 defeat in Pee Wee League play. In other contests, Medford's Wildcats suffered a 9 to 1 defeat to the Medford " Tigers, while Central Point smashed nine hits for a 10 to 1 victory over Jack sonville. The short scores: R H E Lone Pine 8 2 2 Ashland 7 5 4 Lowery. Hall (2) and Griffin; Hardy, Nelson (4) and Johnson. White Sox in New York tonight, but you never could tell it from the faces of rival skippers Casey Stengel and Marty Marion. Stengel's seamy "phyz"' wore a worried frown after a meeting with Yankee officials on what to do about their shaky pitching staff. Marion, whose surging Sox have won 10 out of 14 games since the All-Star game, sported a relaxed grin as he sized up his own steady pitching and drawled, "road trips don't scare me." Although the Yankees go into tonight's fray at Yankee stadium with a "one game" lead, the White Sox could take over the lead by three percentage points by a victory. To get that big win, Marion was sending out young righthander Dick Donovan (13-3), who has beaten the Yanks three times this year without a loss. Stengel was countering with southpaw Tommy Byrne (8-2), the one-time "wild man" who has not beaten the Sox this year and has lost to them once. Seven losses in the last nine games has the Yankee pitching staff staggering and has Stengel talking to himself. 'Pitchers ain't Piichin' ... "The pitchers ain't pitchin', the hitters ain't hittin' and they don't look like they're ever gonna, either," Casey grumbled as he headed into a crisis meeting with George Weiss, the Yankee gen eral manager. . The Stengel-Weiss talks cen tered around pitching. While the Yankees and White Sox are clawing each other, the Cleveland Indians also only one game out could move in front by demolishing Boston in a series starting tonight. Or Boston, only four games out, could move up into contention. In contrast to the hectic battle in the American league, things are peaceful in the National league as the paccmaking Dodg ers embark on their longest western swing of the season, 14 games. Having just turned back a threat from runner-up Milwau kee by splitting a four - game series with the Braves in Brook lyn, the Dodgers remain 131 2 games ahead. Milwaukee opens a home stand with a night game against Phil adelphia and runs smack into another ace shooting for his 17th victory Robin Roberts. Rob erts has lost seven games, New combe only one.

Manager Hillis Layne homered in the first with one aboard, Ralph Rose belted a grand-slam homer in the fifth and Gabby Williams smacked the other hom er in the eighth with one aboard. Lewiston's victory coupled with Tri-City's 3-0 triumph over Eugene moved Lewiston to the top of the seven-team circuit one-half game ahead of Eugene. Vern Kindsfather hurled a neat three-hitter and his mates got him three runs in the fifth to salt away the decision. Gene Klinger's walk, singles by Don Pries and Danny Holden and Dwane Helbig's double account ed for two of the Tri-City runs and the third crossed on a sacri fice fly by Tom Perez. Salem produced a 13-hit at tack good for a 10-6 triumph over Wenatchee. A four-run sixth inning got the eventual winning run across and Mel Krause add ed two insurance runs in the seventh with a homer with one on. Chuck Lundgren of Wenatchee homered in the fourth with no body aboard and in the fifth with two runners on. Linkslady Cards Nest in One Here Clayton Lewis, Rogue Val ley Country club divoter. thought he came up with a considerable accomplishment Sunday when he won the closest lo the pin contest in a team match against Eugene. But he just couldn't quite outdo his wife, Martha, who was on the course el the same time. While her husband got only a near hole-in-one, she claimed an ace and a birdie at the same lime. Lewis came within four in ches of plunking in his tee shot on the 15th hole. Mrs. Lewis teed off on 14 and lost her ball in a tree. A hunt on the ground failed to produce the ball. So, Mrs. Lewis's caddy climbed up in the tree. He spotted a white pellet in a bird's nest. It was the lost ball not an egg. If it had been the light kind of nest, Mrs. Lewis could have claimed an eagle along with a bird and a nest-in-one.

(U.R) Cary Middlecoff took aim today on the only major U.S. golf title he never has won and. Doue Ford. his opponent in the 36-hole PGA championship match, was shoot ing for the title in his first try. They gained the final round Monday by identical scores of 4 and 3. Middlecoff turned back Tommy Bolt of Chattanooca. Tenn., and Ford brushed aside blond Shelley Mayfield of West bury, N.Y. So today these two par-shattering golfers, who both play out of Kiamesha Lake, N.Y., met in the match which means more to the pros than any other cham pionship, although the first place money is only $5,000. But the cash value of it goes far beyond that in endorsements, sporting goods manufacturers affilitaions and exhibitions, more than triple that golfing jackpot. Both of them found the key to their victories on the par five 507-yard 17fh hole of the Mea dowbrook Country Club course. Both of them eagied the hole to go 1 up. From that point in, it was easy. Philadelphia (U.R) Temple University athletic director Josh Cody has announced the appoint ment of Ben Kish, former Phila delphia Eagles fullback, and Cliff Rubicam and Carmen Pic cone, former Temple players, to the school's football staff. fir U7 r iyui o o o n O 777 sf yout . . ryp cm favorite, tAheieie- you fee k& IO AM) BOTOED T ST 10W1 M0.B josf- ofte qass of -the fthesF beef- bofflecf SEVEN OZ.
