Cleve land got its TD in the second stanza bursting over the goal in two plays after a fumble recov ery on the Medford 21-yard line. The Indians reached the Tor nado end zcme on two other oc casions but penalties erased the efforts. Fullback Dave Bosworth scor ed both Medford TD's on short g3 thrusts and Fullback Dave Gra ham zoomed 16 yards for the Cleveland score. Both clubs muffed their conversion oppor tunities. First Game-Itis . First game-itis, a not unusual malady of inexperienced prep aggregations, afflicted both clubs, Jitters, fumble-itis, incon sistent offensive precision, pen alties, and early injury to a couple of mainline backs ham pered the Black Tornado In its season starter. But there were flashes of good football, some of it spectacular, which gave both coaches and fans confidence that with a little more tuning the Medford eleven can be ready to roll. The Tornado piled up a siz able edge In first downs and 3) yardagl. First downs were nine to four for Medford. Net yards from scrimmage for the home team totalled 263. Medford de fense held the Indians to 154 yards. Medford's 83 -yard campaign from its own 17-yard line to the Indian goal line took 16 plays and got Its biggest boosts on a 43-yard passing gain and a 15' Indians Offered Top Baseballers Spokane (U.R) Pittsburgh GPirates Manager Branch Rickey, through Bing Crosby, has offer ed to put some "top-notch" Gplayers on the roster of the Spo kane fiidians baseball team of the Northwest league. Indians president Curt Hag- gerty said yesterday Crosby had relayed Rickey's offer of a working agreement for Spo kane with the Pirates and their Pacific Coast league affiliate, the Hollywood Stars. Crosby is a stockholder in the Pittsburgh club. Crosby also told Haggerty that Hollywood, which loses its pres- ent plant lease after next year, might want to move the Stars to Spokan in 1957. Haggerty saia KicKey naa set Thursday as a deadline for agreement on the Pirates' offer, and Pittsburgh must be assured that Spokane 'would have a first-class ball park by next year. MAIL TRIBUNE High Football Team Downs yard pass interference penalty, The Tornado moved to its 29 in three tries but a fumble on the fourth play of the drive lost to the 20. On a third down situa tion Back Lloyd Cearley heaved to Quarterback Dick" McLaugh line on a screen pass. Behind some good interference with particularly good blocks by Halfback John Hawley and Guard Monte Hoist. McLaugh lin made it all the way to the Tribe 37. Interference . At that point it appeared that the Medford drive might fizzle. The Tornado was set back five yards for offside and "three run ning attempts netted just eight yards putting the ball on the 34. Halfback John Bellack pass ed on fourth down. The ball fell incomplete . but interference with Medford receiver Dick Copple was charged to Cleve land. The penalty gave Medford the ball on the Indian 19. It took seven more plays with the largest gain a five yarder by Cearley, to grind out the rest of the distance. Bosworth went the last 1V yards. The Tornado tried to run the extra point with Bosworth being stopped short of the goal. A 44-yard gallop by Mike Hawkins set up Medford's first touchdown. The Tornado took possession of the ball for the second time in the first period after Lee Knight's 16-yard punt went out of bounds on the Cleveland 48-yard line. Hawkins went through the middle three yards to the 45. Then the Med ford halfback broke through the right side of the line and went Tony Trabert U.S. Champ Forest Hills, N. Y. (U.R) A tug of war for the future serv ices of U. S. Tennis Champion Tony Trabert of Cincinnati de veloped today among two pro tennis promoters and a business firm, that will permit Tony to combine business with pleasure. Trabert now stands as the first man to win three major tennis crowns Wimbledon, French, and American in one year since Don Budge won those three and the Australian title, too, in 1938, Shortly after his sensational triumph over little Ken Rose wall of Australia, 9-7, 6-3, 6-3, in the finals Sunday, the 25-year-old slugger became the hottest commodity in amateur tennis. Rosewall went down in straight sets as had his Aussie teammate, Lew Hoad, in the round before him on Saturday. Personal Vengance Trabert thus scored a measure of personal vengance for the 5-0 Davis Cup defeat hung on U. S. forces by the Australians and, in the victory over Hoad, wiped out his one singles defeat in Davis Cup play. Shortly before Trabert enter ed the center court to open against Rosewall, Doris Hart of Coral Gables, Fla., climaxed a so-so season by winning her sec ond straight U. S. women's title by whipping Patricia Ward of England, a 145 pound, part-time secretary, 2-4, 6-4, 6-2. Trabert was in a good spot as far as pro tennis was concern ed with Pancho Gonzales and Jack Kramer both anxious to sign him. .. - . Monday, September 12, 195S ; night. The Black Tornado's margin was 12 to 6. Other Mefordites identifiable in the pic ture are Guard Monte Hoist, left, Center Gary Shaffer (41) and End Dick Copple (33). The The Cleveland man is Center Al Varnes (43). (Landis-Shangle photo) in Season all the way to the one where Joe Gatto nailed him. Play Called Back Halfback John Bellack crack ed over the goal on the next play but an offside infraction nulli fied the play and set the Tor nado back to the six-yard line. Bosworth gained back to the two and Quarterback Dick Mc Laughin sneaked to the six-inch line. Then Bosworth plunged through the middle for the score. " - A muff kept Dick Copple from getting off a kick for an extra point but Cleveland was offside and the Tornado got another chance. A bad center snap pre vented a second kick. Cleveland got its chance to even up the contest midway in the second panel. Knight punted from his 45. Medford receiver, Halfback John Hawley fumbled and Tackle Dick Alper, Cleve land, recovered on the Tornado 21-yard line. Halfback Bob Cob lens went through the middle of the line to the 16. Graham struggled through his right guard, shook loose and went across the goal standing up. The ball was fumbled to pre vent a Knight conversion kick and the score stood 6-all. Clock Haiti Drive In addition to the scoring se ries, offensive drives took the Black Tornado to the Cleveland 28-yard line in the first quarter, to the nine in the second and to the 19 in the third. Time ran out to halt a big Medford threat which produced one of main thrills of the con test near the end of the second period. Medford got the ball on downs on its own 30. Bellack on the first down tossed to Haw ley who almost got away for a touchdown. As it was Hawley went all the way to the Cleve land 17 for a 53-yard gain, long est of the night. Tribe Back Jerry Halvorsen, who brought Hawley down, al most didn't get the opportunity. End Dick Copple nearly blocked him out of the play but the Clevelander's momentum sailed him square into the back of the Tornado ball carrier's legs. Two running tries by Bellack had the ball on the nine when the halftime signal blared. Clipping Nullifies Score Quarterback Mike Vidos pass ed to End Grant Gaskin from UBC Coed Short On Strait Swim Victoria, B. C. (U.R) A 19-year-old University of British Columbia coed yesterday came within three miles of being the first woman ever to swim the Strait of Juan de Fuca before she ran into a rip tide which battered her into a state of shock. Pat Russell entered the water at Port Angeles, Wash., early yesterday morning and swam to ward Victoria, 20 miles across the frigid, tide-swept strait. Three miles from here she ran into the rip tide which she bat tled for a half-hour without making any headway. Finally Miss Russell's coach, Archie McKinnon, pulled her from the water. He said she was incoherent and was suffering from shock when taken into the boat. - - Middlecoff Triumphant In Cavalcade Scotch Plains, N. J. (U.R) You could call it "the $10,000 chip shot," because that's what a dazzling 50-footer on the final hole was worth to Cary Middle coff in the Cavalcade of Golf tournament. The divot-digging dentist from Memphis, Tenn., would have fin ished in a tie with Slammin' Sammy Snead of "White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., if he had taken a par five on the 72nd and last hole at the Shackamaxon Coun try Club course. But Cary's chip shot rolled into the cup for an eagle three and a final total of 276 strokes, four under par for the 72 holes and two strokes better than Snead at 278. Snead earned $5,000 for second place, but.it was a disappointing finish for Sammy, who had started the day in a three-way tie for the lead. Snead, Freddie Haas of Clare mont, Calif., and Gene Littler of Palm Springs, Calif., were tied for the lead at the start of the final round. Snead shot a one-under-par 69 for his 278 total. Littler went one over with a 71 and wound up in a tie for third-place at 280 with Gardner Dickinson of Panama City, Fla.', who closed fast with a 68, and Jerry Barber of Los Angeles, who shot 70. Haas went two over par with a 72 and dropped all the way into a tie for sixth place at 281 with long-hitting George Bayer of Cincinnati, Ohio. Opener the Indian -22 in the third stan za and the big flankman made it all the way to the Medford end zone. However, the Tribe was charged with clipping and tne pass netted only su yaras after the 15-yard penalty put the ball on the Medford 48. Cleveland then bogged down and punted from the 4J. The Indians got the ball on the Medford 35 on Ralph Kes ter's fumble recovery one play before the third period ended. On the second scrimmage ma neuver of the final canto Half back Dave Roark burst through the middle of the line from the 24 and raced to touchdown ter ritory- But Cleveland was call ed for backfield in motion and the ball was nlaced back on the 29. Four plays later Medford took the ball on downs on its own 17 and started on the way to the winning touchdown. Righ Half Mike Hawkins and Fullback Larry Gober. who form half of one of Medford's top backfield combinations were lost to action in the first quar ter. Gober went out first with a jammed finger and Hawkins fol lowed with a twisted' ankle. Both are expected to be ready to go when the Tornado plays Gresham here this Friday. Penalties Hurt Nine penalties while all of the short nature nevertheless handicapped Medford. Some came from overeagernes but a number were for illegal align ment (off-side) in the line. Offi cials penalized Medford seven yards for one offside and the total yards stepped off for the evening were 47. Cleveland drew 41 yards for Infractions which proved more harmful. Guard Jack Gregory. Mc Laughlin, Bellack, Tackle Al Boardman, Guard Monte Hoist and Hawkins, before he was hurt, were boys in on a lot of tackles for Medford. Hoist and End Maury Butts recovered Cleveland fumbles. More than 30 Medford boys played. Team finesse will get a lot of attention this week as the Tor nado preps for Gresham, Coach Fred Spiegelberg has indicated. He said that attention would be placed on having the ball ' . . ' 1 1 . 1 . XI snapped io tne uacKS in me right spot in addition to the handling and exchange in the backfield. The head coach termed' his club "awfully rag ged and awfully green" but said he felt the Tornado "is going to improve in the next game or so." He was pleased with the defensive work. Blocking ,is among fundamentals that will get emphasis this week. Picture taking for the school yearbook preceded the drill this afternoon. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Wild Pitch Chanccc; Tribe, Yankees Divide By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The wildest American league pennant race of 'em all may have been decided by the most costly wild pitch in 51 years. Thrown by Ed (Whitey) Ford, the errant pitch enabled the Cleveland Indians to split Sun day s momentous doubleheader with the New York Yankees and put them in a position where they probably can win a sec ond straight flag with only six victories in their remaining 11 games. Hoot Evers scored from third base with two out in the eighth inning as the pitch skittered past catcher Yogi Berra and that was the run that gave the Indians a 3-2 triumph after bow ing, 6-1, in the opener. As a re sult, they maintained their IVi game lead over the Yankees, a ZVz-zame edge over the Chicago White Sox and a six-game bulge over -the Boston Red Sox. Yanks Need Eight Victories Thanks to Sunday's split, the Indians can finish the campaign with a 94-60 record by winning six of their last 11 games. To tie the Tribe, the Yankees would have to win eight of their last 12, the White Sox would have to take 10 of their last 13 and the Red Sox would have to sweep all 13 of their games. Ford carried a 2-1 lead into the eighth frame but with one out served up a home run ball to Bobby Ayila that tied the score. Jwers loiiowea with a double and Al Rosen was pur posely walked. Ford induced Larry Doby to hit into a force play at second base but his 1-0 pitch to Ralph Kiner was the wild one and Evers dashed over the plate, A crowd of 65,310 saw south paw Tommy Bryne spit a four- hitter and the Yankees route 16-game winner Early Wynn in the opener, Frank Sullivan became , he league s nrst 18-game winner when he pitched the Red Sox to a 6-2 victory but the White Sox bounced back in the second game with a 7-2 triumph, Hoeft Gels Shutout Southpaw Billy Hoeft pitched his seventh shutout and 16th victory to give the Detroit Tigers an 8-0 victory but Ted Aber- nathy's four-hitter earned the Washington Senators a 1-0 win. Kansas City and Baltimore also split, the A's winning, 4-3, and the Orioles coming back for a 4-2 decision. Johnny Klippstein missed the National, league's second no-hit ter of the season on Pee Wee Reese's ninth-inning single as the Cincinnati Redlegs downed the champion Brooklyn Dodg ers, 9-0 and 5-3. The Milwaukee Braves down ed the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4 and 9-1, Eddie Mathews hitting a grandslam, ninth-inning hom er in the opener and Humberto Robinson pitching a six-hitter in the nightcap. In single games, Ernie Banks and Willie Mays each hit his 43rd homer as the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Giants, 7-5, and the St. Louis Cardinals de feated the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-5, with Larry Jackson picking up his sixth win in relief.

A wide open field which includes five former winners, six British ama teur champions, and six mem bers of the Walker Cup team, teed off today in the first round of match play in the U. S. Ama teur Golf Tournament. The rolling, 6,713-yard par 35-35 James River course of the Country Club of Virginia fig ured to take quite a beating, if sub-par practice rounds are any indication, but despite all the name players there was no out standing favorite. The week-long gruelling grind for the championship was as wide open as any amateur tour nament in recent years. There is no defending champion be cause Arnold Palmer, who won it last year, turned professional as did Gene Littler, the 1953 titleholder. All Have Chance Any one in the field of 200 had a chance. Among those who figure prominently are those five former amateur kings veteran Chick Evans, who won the title the first time in 1916 and then again in 1920; Richard D. Chapman, the 1940 winner; Ted Bishop, who took it in 1946; Willie Turnesa of the famous golfing family who won it twice, in 1938 and 1948, and Charley Coe, who captured the title in 1949. Chapman and Turnesa also have won the British Amateur as have Robert Sweeny, the run ner-up to Palmer last year, Lt. Joseph Conrad, Harvie Ward and Charley Yates. The Walker Cuppers in the field are Bill Campbell, Billy Jo Patton, James Jackson, Bruce Cudd, Ward, and Conrad. Ward, Conrad, Cudd, Bishop, Turnesa, an Yates were among the 56 golfers who drew first round byes.- In all, 72 round matches were listed for today, starting with James Hickey of Pocatello, Idaho, facing William Randleman of Hunting, W.
