TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. February 3. 1958 Pascual Gets MVP Award In Cuba Loop By UNITED PRESS - Little Camilo Pascual of Wash ington, the apple of Charlie Dressen's eye, is being sought by several American League clubs but their chances of landing him were not enhanced today when he was named the "Most Valu able Player' 'in the Cuban Win ter League. Despite the 2-12 record Pas cual posted with Washington last year, Yankee skipper Casey Stengel goes into rhapsodies de scribing him and Marty Marion of the White Sox has indicated he wouldn't mind having him, either. With Washington last season, Pascaul was knocked out in 15 of his 16 starts and couldn't do anything right. With the Cien fuegos club, for whom he is pitching in Havana now,' he can't do anything wrong. Latest league records credit him with 12 victories and five defeats. Mizell Outpointed Pascual outpolled . - Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell, the St. Louis Cardinals' fireballer who is now toiling for the Havana Reds, 13 votes to six in ballot ing by sports writers covering the Cuban league. - , The Arthur Gardner Trophy, emblematic of the most valu able player award in Cuba, will be presented to the 150-pound Pascual in a special ceremony Sunday. Gardner, the U.S. am bassador to Cuba, will make the presentation personally. Even while receiving the good news from Cuba, the Senators were busy signing players. The club announced the, receipt of signed contracts from pitchers Ted Abernathy and Connie Grob 'and outfielder Neil -. Chrisley. Washington also purchased in fielder Vern Morgan from the Chicago Cubs and then assigned him to Chattanooga of the South ern Assn. where he will be con verted into a pitcher. Veteran Gerry Staley, a Na tional League castoff, and youth ful Ralph Terry, a 14-game win ner in the 'minors last season, were signed by the Yankees, making a total of 20 players who have agreed to terms with the Bronx Bombers. Staley was picked up on waivers from Cin cinnati late last season. ; Black Tornado Opposes Indians On Saturday: Tisdel .way Be Out Bob Tisdel, leading scorer of the Medford high basketball team may be missing from the line-up Saturday night when the Black Tornado entertains Rose burg at Hedrick junior high school gymnasium. The speedy, ballhawking guard, who has contributed 237 points to the Tornado cause this season, was ill and in bed yes terday. It was first thought he might have appendicitis. Tisdel was to undergo a doctor's exami nation today. That check may determine whether he will be available for duty tomorrow. Larry Perkins, top reserve guard, was still on the ailing list yesterday. He wasn't able to practice because of an ankle sprain suffered Wednesday. Coach Frank Roelandt indi cated today that Ed Reinking might start if Tisdel is unable to see action. Reinking has done well in this week's drills and likely will see considerable serv ice against the Indians whether he starts or not. Roelandt likely will choose the starters from among Rein king, Dick McLaughlin, Dick Copple, Neil Plumley, Lloyd Cearley, John Foust and Tisdel if he is able. Gave Eugene Battle Roseburg gave Eugene, No. 1 rated team in the state, a real battle last week end before loosing by four points and is expected to be a rougher custo mer for the . Black' Tornado than in December when Medford beat the Indians 63 to 51. In that game Medford got a 39 to 19 point lead in the first half and the Indians hacked the-Tornado margin down to 56 to 49 by late in the fourth quarter. " Possible starters for Roseburg are Dick Woolstenhulme, Lee Burkhart; Jerry Droscher, Bill Oerding and Rod Hoenish with Fred Skeels likely! to see much action. . The Indians will have 12 games . behind them when they come to Medford. They were to have met Coquille last night. No report on that game was re ceived this morning. Up to last night the Indians had a six-win five loss record. They split with Grants Pass which Medford has topped twice and last to Eugene with which the Tornado split. The Saturday game will be Medford's first at home since January 21. Opening whistle is planned for 8:15 p.m. following a 6:45 p.m. jayvee tangle.

Among those who were elim inated by spills were America's favorites, Ralph Miller of Han over,' N. H., and Bill Beck of Kingston, R. I. U. S. Hopes Dim American hopes of winning a gold medal in the four-man bob sled competition also dwindled when the sled driven by Art Tyler of Rochester, N.

Sailer, winner of the Olympic Giant slalom and special slalom championships, tore down the Joi meter two mile slide at better than 45 miles-an-hour to finish in two minutes, 52.2 sec onds. His clocking was 3.5 sec onds faster than runnerup Ray. mond, Felley of Switzerland. The bumps, many of them as high as four, feet, hurtled some racers 80 feet through the air. Of 86 entries, only 46 finished.
