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.

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:

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.

Lewiston j
Keeps NW
Loop Lead
By UNITED PRESS
Lewiston hammered three
homers good for eight runs and
first place in the Northwest
league last night in taking Spo
kane 11-3.
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.

Middlecoff,
Ford In PGA
Finals Today
Northville, Mich. (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.
