Van Cuyk Hurls No -No
Victory for Oakland;
Beavers, Pads Divide
By PETER HAYES
United Press Sports Writer
Chris Van Cuyk s no-hit, no
run game featured a flock of
brilliant southpaw pitching per
lormances in the Pacific Coast
League last night.
7he giant Oakland left hander
turned in the third PCL no
hitter in the past week in beat
ing Los Angeles, 2-0, in the
seven-inning opener of a dou
bleheader. The Oaks also took the night
cap, 3-1. Lefty Fred Besana al
lowed only three hits in the
7 23 innings he worked but
began to tire and Al Gettel fin
ished up, allowing only one hit.
Sacramentos Bud Daley
would have had a no-hitter if,
like Van Cuyk, he had been
pitching a seven-inning game.
The rookie portsider yielded his
first and only hit in the eighth
inning a single by Vern Ste
phens as the Solons scored an
8-0 win over league-leading Seat
tle.
Beavers. Pads Split
Pnrtlnnd leftv Royce Lint
i-.lanked San Diego. 2-0. but San
Diego came back to win the
second game of the doublehead
er. 4-1, behind tight pitching
by Cal McLish. only righthander
to post a win in last nignt s six
Eames.
Roger Bowman southpawed
Hollywood to a six-hit, z-i vic
tory over San Francisco but Seal
Manager Tommy Heath an
nounced he would protest the
win.
The Stars scored the winning
run in the bottom of the ninth
inning when Jackie Lohrke scor
ed on Curt Roberts' sacrifice
fly. The Seals believed Lohrke
failed to tag up before the catch
and when they tried to find
the ball to put him out, umpire
Emmett Ashford admitted he
couldn't find it.
Heath said he was protesting
the game because the ball was
not available to his team.
In Emeryville, the 6 ft., 6 in.,
220-pound Van Cuyk (4-5) fol
lowed the no-hit lead of George
Singleton of Seattle. Only two
Angels reached base off Van
Cuyk. Gale Wade on a base
on balls in the first inning and
Jim Fanning on Russ Rose's
error in the third.
George Metkovich's two run
homer in the third inning pro
vided the 28-year-old pitcher his
victory margin.
Daley Hurls Best
Daley turned in his best job
of the season in Seattle, walking
only one and fanning four to
gain his 15th win against 10
defeats with the last. place So
lons. Sacramento backed him
with an 11-hit assault against
Ewell Blackwell (2-3) and John
Oldham.
San Diego's split with Port
land helped the second place
Padres reduce Seattle's lead to
S'4 games.

Lint (5-8) and loser Eddie
Erautt (12-7) each gave up seven
hits in the abbreviated opener
but Lint was tougher in the
clutch. The Pads loaded the
bases with none out in the first
inning but Lint retired the next
three men.
Earl Rapp's three-run homer
off loser Bob Alexander (6-6)
in the second inning was the
decisive blow of the second
game. McLish (11-8) yielded six
hits in going the route for the
victory.

Lefties Will Start for Studs
In Jack Tilts Opening Tonight
Two lefthanders on the pitch
ing staff of the Medford Cheney
Studs are likely starters for the
Southern Oregon League team's
non-loop series tonight and
Thursday night with the potent
independent Lumberjacks from
Coos Bay-North Bend.
Manager Jack Cooney has in
dicated that hell call on Marv
Scherpf and Jim Kelly as start
ing tossers with the Cheney
righthanders, Terry Maddox and
Derald Wooton, to be summoned
if relief is rquired.
Games will be at 8 o'clock
both nights.
The Lumberjacks rate as at
least one o fthe strongest clubs
the Studs will face this season.
And they may well prove the
strongest. The powerful combi
nation of ex-pro and ex-collegiate
players comes here with a fine
record of 22 wins against seven
losses for the season.
High Ranked
For the past two years the
'Jacks have been playing a strict
ly independent slate. Their non
league status, however, did not
keep them from being rated as
the strongest semi-pro-or near
professional, aggregation in Oregon.
Sugar Ray
Rated No. 3
By Magazine
New York (U.R) Sugar
Ray Robinson, 35, smashed back
into the Ring Magazine ratings
today for the first time since
his temporary retirement on
Dec. 18, 1952.
The new ratings rank the for
mer welterweight and middle
weight champion as number
three contender for the middle
weight crown because of last
Friday's victory over Rocky
Castellani at San Francisco.
It. was his fifth and most im
portant victory in six come
back fights. It clinched a shot
a Carl (Bobo) Olson's title, al
though Charley Humez of France
is still listed as top contender,
and Holly Mims of Washington,
D.C., is ranked second. Castel
lani dropped from second to
fourth.
Youngest In History
As veteran Robinson returned
to the ratings, 20-year-old Floyd
Patterson of Brooklyn became
the youngest top contender for
the light heavyweight crown in
history.
Patterson's knockout ictory
over the heavyweight Archie
McBride on July 6 enabled him
to replace Harold Johnson of
Philadelphia, who has been in
active pending the investigation
of his Philadelphia fight with
Julio Mederos. Johnson was
dropped to second place.
Two former world champions
Paddy DeMarco of Brooklyn
and Yoshio Shirai of Japan
dropped out of the ratings. De
Marco, ex-lightweight ruler, fell
out of the top 10 after his de
feat by Ralph Dupas. Shirai, ex
flyweight boss, was erased from
the list because of his recent
retirement.
Jimmy Carter of New York,
who lost his lightweight crown
to Wallace Bud Smith of Cin
cinnati, is rated top contender
for the 135-pound title, and Du
pas of New Orleans is lowered,
to second berth.
Women's Golf
A "mystery" event and medal
play will be featured Thursday,
July 28, during ladies' day golf
activity at Rogue Valley Coun
try club. A board meeting will
be held at 1 p.m. following the

sible infielders are Gordy Heisy,

the San Francisco Seals when
he joined the 'Jacks.
The outfield may be picked
from among John Kovenz, Dick
