Chicago (U.P.) American
"nstne" golfers and 20 top for
eign pros begin play today in
Tarn O'Shanter's "all American"
golf tourney, but the S25.000

$157,200.
The two tournaments will be
ifcactly the same, 72 holes of

and recently only Thomson has
been challenging during the
. events.

a sizzling 65.

j-.pros also had to go through the
" qualifying rounds with J.Z wom
en pros qualifying to join Lou
Ise Suggs, Patty Berg, Betty
Hicks and Betty Jameson in the
payoff event. Defending cham

By Jackson;
September or October.
Gangling Jackson of Far Rock
away, N.Y., the third-ranking
heavyweight contender, said,
"I'll fight anybody my manager
picks. Charles fought good last
night but I didn't let him land
any solid shots."
Jackson, 23, won a unanimous
10-round decision over Ezz, who
was favored at 2-1 because of
his 16 years experience in 104
previous bouts.
Charles declared today, "I un
derestimated Jackson. He's a lot
better than I thought very hard
to nail, and very tough when
you do nail him. And he keeps
throwing at you all the time."
Whether. Charles retires or
does fight Jackson again,
Wednesday night's defeat cer
tainly shattered his dream of
getting a fourth chance to recap
ture the heavyweight title which
he lost on a knockout to Jersey
Joe Walcott in 1951.
Charles, ranked sixth among
contenders, hurt Tommy several
times, but lacked the fire to
finish his man on some occasions
and missed with "Sunday"
punches at other critical times.
There were no knockdowns,
but Ezzard suffered a thorough
battering in the last minute of
the 10th round as his tireless
young opponent rained blows on
him from all angles.
The Dalles
Wins Legion
Game, 3-0
The Dalles (U.R) The Dalles
was gunning for the State Amer
ican Legion junior baseball
championships today on the
strength of its 3-0 victory over
Roseburg here last night.
The victory gave The Dalles
a 2-1 edge in the five-game series,
and a win tonight would cinch
the title. A rubber game would
be played Friday night if Rose
burg wins tonight.
Earl Griggs gave up only four
hits in pitching his shutout but
was helped along by steady de
fensive play from his, The Dalles,
teammates. The victors collected
nine hits off loser Dick Smith.
Only extra base blows in the
contest were a double by Denny
Peterson for The Dalles in the
first inning, and a triple by Al
len Lindbloom of Roseburg with
one away in the fifth.
Medford
Wins PWL
Playoff
Dennis Painter pitched a no
hit game for Medford yesterday
afternoon when the local Pee
Wee representatives whitewash
ed Grants Pass 11 to 0 to capture
the Southern Oregon league title.
Painter faced a total of 15 bat
ters, and struck out 12 of them.
Three batters grounded out.
Painter also contributed two of
Medford's seven hits off Grants
Pass' Walker.
Jerry Anderson, who com
pleted Medford's battery, sacri
ficed home two runs with bunts,
and the only extra base hits
were doubles by Kenny Durkee
and Bob Quinney.
Medford took advantage of
five Grants Pass errors, while
the local youngsters didn't com
mit a miscue.
Medford regained the title
which Grants Pass won last year
in a no-hit 8 to 0 victory over
Medford.
Beavers Purchase

Portland (U.R) The Port
land Beavers today announced
purchase of right-handed hitting
Wally Westlake from the Oak
land Oaks of the Coast League.
Westlake, 35, spent several
years in the majors, with Cleve

Cincinnati.

Hollywood (U.R) Bill Son

the Chicago White Sox, has

has been assigned to Salinas,
Calif., a Stars' farm club in the
California League.
Salem Edges
Eugene In
NW Contest
By UNITED PRESS
Eugene, the Northwest League
leaders, appear ready to be
taken, but the circuit's six other
clubs seem bashful about mov
ing in.
Eugene dropped another one
last night as Salem edged the
Emeralds 5-4 despite a four-run
Eugene splurge in the eighth.
Bud Francis of Salem pitched
seven innings of no-hit ball be
fore Eugene got moving in the
eighth, but Bill Dials snuffed out
the rally and blanked Eugene in
the ninth.
Don Edwards of Yakima
blanked the Wenatchee Chiefs
9-0 on five hits but had to work
his way out of two tight jams
to gain his shutout.
Wenatchee loaded the bases
in the fourth with none out but
Edwards fanned the side. He re
peated the trick in the ninth
when the Chiefs had runners on
second and third with nobody
out.
Herman Lewis of Yakima
belted a three-run homer in the
fourth and Sam Mitchell with
three singles and a double paced
Yakima's 10-hit attack on three
Wenatchee hurlers.
Spokane rolled up five runs in
the seventh inning to nip Lewis
ton 8-6 and nullified a three-run
homer by Jim Barrett of Lewis
ton a game and a half behind
league-leading Eugene.

ing to tire in the sixth, Kelly
issued two free trips in a row to
the California boys. A quick re
covery in the seventh caused
fans to forget this as he swished
three consecutive batters.
After a fruitless three innings
in which only one man was left
on base, the Medford nine started
centering in on fast tosses by
Dunsmuir's Harold Carrington.
Terry Maddox scrambled to first
on an error by shortstop Bob
Richardson. Derold Wooton got
a short reprieve to remain at the
plate when his high foul was
muffed by first baseman Geno
Owens, but flew out to center
field. Here the Studs stopped
pawing ground and started mov
ing. Dick Wooton singled to right
field, moving Maddox on second.
Larry Bigham filled the bags
with another single.
Right fielder Howard Morris
coming to bat with a make-or-break
chance for the Studs,
singled sharply to left field,
scoring Maddox, and Dick Woo
ton tallied on a wild pitch, Big
ham moving to third. Another
bad pitch enabled Bigham to
come home, making the score
3-0. Luck finally ran out when
Jim Kelly grounded out to Car
rington. The Cheney Studs used the
seventh inning to show-the fans

Pitching
Dunsmuir
Sunday could get interesting.
They collected four runs off
three hits.
Shortstop Bob Selser smashed
a single between first and sec
ond base to set up what was to
be a small scoring parade for the
Studs. Cooney followed with his
third hit of the game. Merchants'
reserve pitcher Ron Benkie
walked Maddox and Derold
Wooton singled. "
The hit, along with two errors
and a wild pitch, spelled "That's
all" to Merchant hopes of pre
venting Medford from extend
ing its wins over California
teams to nine straight. They
gained back some face with a
walk, a grounder by Ray Ma
tous and a triple by Bob Pringle
in the last inning which pro
duced two runs.
The Merchants seemed to lack
the fire that was expected from
a team tied for third place in
the Northern California league.
Poor hitting also seemed to
plague the team as they gathered
only three hits, two of them in
the last inning. However, the
ninth-inning triple by Pringle
and a smooth double play that
cooled Medford down in the
sixth inning beat anything the
home team had to offer. The dou
ble play came off when Ed Mc
Cullough's long fly into center
field was snagged by Pringle,

Orioles Won't
Put Johnson On
Disabled List
Baltimore (U.R) The Balti
more Orioles today dropped
their plans to put pitcher Don
Johnson on the disabled list on
receipt of orders from Baseball
Commissioner Ford C. Frick. q
Frick, ruled yesterday that
Johnson's case did not fulfill the
conditions laid down in his di
rective of July 28 to all major
league clubs regarding the dis
abled list. That directive was a
result of what Frick believed to
be abuses , of the list to make
room on the roster for extra
players.
"We will comply with the or
der," said Manager Paul Rich- f
ards of the Orioles, and declined
further comment.
and then tossed to second to
catch Howard Morris before he
