0 TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Stengel asey eserve Editor's Notes: This is th 10th in a series on the 1936 prospects of the major league clubs. B? LEO & PETERSEN United Pze& Sports Editor St. Petersburg. Fla. U.R The New York Yankees are go- ing into the 1956 American j League pennant race as the fa vorites, and Manager Casey ; Stengel agrees thy deserve that rating. "Everyone tells me I have the best talent in the league, and I agree," Stengel winked. "But I ain't selling those Red Sox, In dians, White Sox and Tigers short. Those Red SSx especially could hurt us real bad." Casey may "platoon 'em to death this year." " "I've got enough guys who are major -league players, e but I'll have to find spots for them especially when I have nine shortstops going for me," he explained. Outfield Poses Problem His biggest problem is his out field of Hank Bauer, Mickey Mantle and Irv Noren. All three were tlow par when the Yan kees lost the World Series to the Brooklyn Dodgers last October, because of various injuries. Casey isn't too worried about Mantle and Bauer, but he is so worried about Noren that he has been playing first baseman Joe Collins, in right field. Stengel, a master at juggling talent, said any manager in the league would like to have such otufield candidates as Bob Cerv, Elston Howard, and a rookie by the name of Norm Siebern. For the infield there are Col lins, if not needed in the out field; Bill Skowron and Eddie Robinson battling for the first base job. Billy Martin probably will be atesecond with Phil Riz zuto starting the season at short and Gil McDougald at third base. Yogi Set As Catcher Also in the infield picture are Jerry Coleman, Andy Carey, Bobby Richardson and a rookie, Five Shooters Make Perfect Journal Scores Five Medford Gun club shoot ers turned in perfect scores this week for the ninth annual Jour nal Trapshooting league. Scoring 25 i out of a possible 25 were Lew Bates, Ray Cole man, Paul Culbertson, Bill Her vey and Jim Horn. Medford yes terday ranked 12th in the state wide league with nine Wins and six losses. .- In skeet practice shooting Ed Pease, using a 20 gauge gun, shot 23 out of a possible 25. Don Hawk broke 23 out of a possible 25 using a .410 gauge. Don Hawk was high prize winner for the day. Thirty shoot ers took part in the meet. Next Sunday, April 1, Med ford Gun club will shoot against Albany, Arlington, Bend - Red mond, and Brooks for Journal scores and practice. The shoot will start at 10 a.m. Pistons Favored For NBA Finals By UNITED PRESS The Fort Wayne Pistons and Philadelphia Warriors are favor ed to score victories on their home courts tonight and thus advance to the final round of the National Basketball associa tion playoffs. Both semi-final series are deadlocked at 2-2. The Pistons, after dropping the first- two games, made a brilliant come back to take the next two and now are picked to win the "big one" over the St. Louis Hawks. G The Philadelphia - Syracuse series has followed the home court pattern. In Wednesday night's only ac tion Syracuse evened. the count in the eastern finals by nipping the Warriors, 108-104, at Syra cuse. Syracuse had a 12-point lead early in the fourth quarter, 86- 74, but the Warriors rallied and Joe Graboski's three-point play with one minute left narrowed the gap to one point, 103-102. That's where Ed Conlin, the rookie from Fordham came through again with a free throw and a field goal to clinch mat ters. Morgan Scores Lightburn Upset Cleveland (U.R) L. C. Mor- wgan of Youngstown, Ohio, is "ready for anyone in the top 10" of the lightweight ranks, his manager insisted today in the wake of a unanimous decision over favored Ludwig Lightburn. Lightburn took a 9-count in the first round when Morgan who lost a split decision to the veteran lightweight here last September, abandoned his jab bing tactics and unleashed a stinging right cross which land ed squarely. Lightburn, winner of 39 of 45 pro bouts until to night, termed the blow a "bolt" that forced him to coast for four rounds. ays avorite' Tony Kubek, who hit .334 at Quincy last year. Yogi Berra, of course, will be the No. 1 catcher, with that re lief from Howard and the veteran. Charlie Silvera in the No. 3 spot. As for his pitching, Stengel says the only two sure starters are two lefties, Whitey Ford and Tommy Byrne. But he has a lot MEDFOW)STRIBUNB Unlimited Substitutions Asked for Small Colleges By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco ' (U.R) Short shots: - - Phil Sarboe, head coach at Humboldt State college, is cam paigning to get unlimited sub stitution revived for small col lege football teams. He thinks the same rule should apply to high school clubs. He claims it would give all the boys a chance to play and has no fear that the game would be over-emphasized.

Red Wings Fight For Stanley Cup Detroit (U.R), The Detroit Red Wings, needing only one victory to. advance to the Stan ley Cup finals, had a "let's, get it over in a hurry" attitude to day and- for good reason. The Red Wings hold a 3-1 edge over the Toronto Maple Leafs in their best of seven game semi-final series and can qualify to meet the National Hockey league champion Mon treal Canadiens by stopping Toronto tonight in Olympia. "We've got to try to end it tonight," said Coach Jimmy Skinner of the Red Wings. "The Canadiens have already beaten the Rangers in the other semi final series and they can rest until we've decided this series." Adams Holds Fresno Scoreless for Portland Glendale, Calif.

If the California Athletic commission wants something to do, it might take a closer look at the records of some of the fighters in this area. A fellow named Bill Ma this from Eureka had 10 fights in 13 months and was knocked out nine times! In one stretch he was kayoed three times in three weeks; and another time he took the count three times in four weeks. In many states a fighter receives an automatic six weeks suspen sion after suffering a knockout, to make sure he is completely recovered . . . New Distance Star Don Bowden, young Calif ornia distance star, will take the second official try of his short career at the mile on Sat urday against San Jose State.

Short memory department: Only 20 years ago San ' Fran cisco basketball writers were terming Hank Luisetti of Stan ford ' university the "greatest basketball player of all time," and pointing out "there will never -be another like him." To day they are using the same adjectives to describe Big Bill Russell, .the USF All-American. The two men had something in common, at that: Russell has forced rules changes for the cage game two years in a row. Luisetti was the man who changed all concepts of coach ing by - popularizing the one handed shot. Before Hank, coaches used to pull players out of the game for '.'show-boating" if they faried to shoot with one hand. ' Softball Group Meets April 2 Medford Softball association will hold its first meeting April 2, at 8 p.m. in room "B" of the YMCA. Officers will be nominated and plans for formation of a softball league will be discussed. According to Herb Vessey, as sociation president, no organized- softball league was started last year because there was no playing field readily available and there was a lack of inter est show at meetings. Work on a playing field has now begun and it is hoped that representatives from Eagle Point, Central Point, Camp White, Jacksonville and other communities interested in form ing a softball team will attend Monday's meeting, Vessey said.

AND FKAZIEB DISTILLERY Four ScKool Track Meet Set Saturday Nearly 200 track and field men will see action at Medford High field Saturday, March 31, at 1:30 p.m., with four high schools competing. Cindermen from Ashland, Cra ter, Rogue River and Medford high schools will compete in their first meet of the year. All of the boys will take part in the competition which will be run in heats to give mentors a better chance to evaluate their material. Medford will field 70 boys. Two of them are northwest AAU champs Mike Russell in the quarter mile and Les Lingscheit in the half. Eldon Francis, prep state champion javelin hurler last year and with a second place in the nation to his credit, will also compete for Medford. Other Medfordmen to beat will be Wally Larson, who placed second in state hurdles competi tion last year; Mike Hawkins in the broad jump, Lou Brezeale for pole vault, and Neil Plumley in the shot put. . Ashland will field one of the best prep sprinters in the district in Clarence Baker who placed second in last year's state meet. ed Mat Committee Tells Accomplishments Portland Oregon hunters i registered "significant progress" during 1955 in reducing the number of forest . fires, game law violations, and firearms deaths and generally improved their relations with landowners, the Red Hat Day Committee re ported today to Governor Elmo Smith. As part of a 4,000-word re port, Chairman L. C. Jack Bin ford urged the Governor to con tinue Red. Hat Day educational activities among the state's landowners and sportsmen in 1956. "The 26 sponsors of the pro gram were unanimous in their opinion that the. campaign was a success," Bihford stated. "But we can't hope for sustained im provement of hunter conduct from just one year's efforts." Among high lights of the re port: The U. S. Forest service re vealed that about half the nor mal number of fires were attrib uted to hunters during Oregon's 1955 hunting seasons. One Fire On the 20,000,000 acres pro tected by the Bureau of Land Management, there was only one hunter - caused fire in 1955 com pared with three in 1954. Fires caused by smokers, debris bur ners, and incendiarists were re duced by more than half. The State Police reported that Mound Lack Talent Successful defense by the Talent high Bulldogs of the District 5B baseball crown they have won- for the last two sea sons may depend largely on the development of a pitching staff, Coach Gene Farthing has indi cated. The Bulldogs have had top pitching for four or five years. Last year there was a lack of young fellows in the turnout and the mentor thereby was unable to "bring along" a tosser' for his campaign. Bob Hoffman and Eldon Mc Garity loom as likely pitchers this year and Gordy Thoreson and Fred Helm can go to the hill if necessary. . The staff could measure up to those of the past recent years as it develops. Eight Leiiermen Farthing this year has eight lettermen on his squad. In prac tice scuffles the Bulldogs have lost a five v inning fray to Ash land, 8 to 0, with the Grizzlies using their better hurlers and have tipped the Ashlanders, 7 to 4, in seven frames when the Lith ians ' were utilizing freshman throwers. Talent also lost, 22 to 1, to Grants Pass last week end. Thoreson and Ray Weinhold are three-year lettermen and Ron Weinhold and Helm each have won two monograms. One year letter winners are Hoffman, Gary Combs, Terry Hazelton and Frank Long. The Bulldogs were state B co champions in 1954 and last year went to the state semi-finals.

Casanova Has Praise for Medford School Athletics Athletic programs in Medford schools drew praise from Len Casanova, University of Oregon football coach, last night at a dinner meeting of Medford Lions club. Casanova was principal speak er, at the dinner which honored the Medford high and St. Mary's high school basketball squads and coaches. "I am happy to see that the people in this community see the great benefits of starting in "com petitive athletics at an early age," the Oregon gridiron mentor declared. He spoke of the lessons in physical and moral courage, determination, selflessness, loy alty and team effort learned in competitive spots and mentioned feats in games which exempli fied those qualities. The qualities and feats were pointed out after Casanova asked, "Have you thought on why did you have a good sea son?" Little Extra Effort Casanova also brought out that athletics teaches hard work. He told how competition on the ath letic field can ingrain that qual ity of a "little extra effort" that does not come from the coach but comes from within. The men- during the deer hunting season the ratio of arrests to hunters contacted was the most favor able since 1951. The State Department of Ag riculture' asserted that only four domestic animals were shot and that gunfire injury to farm an imals was the smallest for any similar period on record. The Oregon Game Commis sion announced a drop in hun ter firearms fatalities from 13 in 1954 to 10 last year in spite of greater numbers of sports men afield. Hunter Conduct The Industrial Forestry as sociation stated that two out of three of its 45 tree farm owners believed that hunter conduct improved during 1955. The State Forestry depart ment reported a new record low for the. number, of forest fires on state land during the recent deer hunting season. ... "The program has demonstra ted that it has public appeal," Binford concluded, "and an ex cellent start has been made in paving the way for a continua tion of this type of educational program in future years." Tornado Tennis Squad Competes For Positions A ladder tourney was started Tuesday to determine positions on the Medford high school ten nis squad. Coach Warren Brenner report ed that 14 boys have been prac ticing with hopes of making the team, which will defend its 1955 state co-championship and South ern Oregon Conference crown. Lettermen back are Bill Isaacs, Jim Gordon, Don Gordon and Bob Schmidt. Brenner said that the sched ule was not yet complete. Jerry Kalapus, who . won the state prep singles title for Med ford last year, has worked out on the local high school court this week. He is a freshman at Pacific university where he cur rently holds No. 1 position on the net team. He is home v on spring vacation.

Musial Says Out For 7th Swat Title By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Stan Musial wasn't fooling when he said he was "going all out" to win his seventh National League batting title this year. The great St. Louis Cardinal slugger laughed when he said he "had to win the title because I haven't had a raise in salary in five years," but there's nothing funny to NL pitchers today about his .358 Grapefruit League batting average. ( Musial had one of his best days of the spring Wednesday when he blasted a double and two singles to drive in three runs and lead the Cardinals to a 13-4 thrashing of the Cincinnati Redlegs. Willie Mays, singled out by Musial as likely to be one of his principal rivals for the title, weighed in with his seventh home run of the opening and 1954 World Series hero Dusty Rhodes clouted No. 5 to give the New York Giants a 6-5 decision over the Baltimore Orioles. Larry Doby, another tremen dous spring hitter, blasted his sixth homer but it - wasn't enough as the Milwaukee Braves tallied four times against 15- game winner Billy Pierce in the first inning and went on to down the Chicago White Soxs 7-4. ' Ted Kluszewski ;went hitless in two at bats'as the Cincinnati Redlegs' "B" squad beat Nash ville, 4-0, but the big first sacker ' reported his ailing left hip did not bother him and held out hope that he would be able to open the season. Center fielder Mickey Mantle pulled the hamstring muscle in his right leg the same one that sidelined him in the 1955 World Series and second-baseman Billy Martin retired after he was bumped in a play at second base in Wednesday's 6-4 Wash ington victory over the New York Yankees. In other games, the Boston Red Sox rapped out 13 hits to down the Kansas City Athletics, 7-2, as Bob Porterfield yielded one run in . six innings; Bob Friend, the National League's earned run- leader last year, al lowed two runs in seven frames as the Pittsburgh Pirates scored their third straight victory with' a 5-2 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the Detroit Tigers parlayed 13 hits, 13 walks and five errors into a 15-5 verdict over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kefauver leaves for Albu querque from here where Ari zonans got a look yesterday at the seemingly tireless Tennessee e Senator who maintained his typ ical whirlwind campaign pace. He commented on Adlai E. Stevenson's sharp personal at tack against him by repeating that he did not. "intend to say anything disparaging about Mr. Stevenson." Identical Efforts Kefauver said he also had asked his supporters to not criti cize Stevenson. In California and Minnesota, he said, "there were identical efforts in both states to organize Mr. Stevenson's support in such an overwhelming show of pow er that I would be frozen or frightened out." Kefauver again urged that aft er the Democratic National Con vention all party factions "get together" and work for the elec tion of a Democratic party and Democratic Congress. ' In his Phoenix appearances yesterday Kefauver criticized the Republican administration for its farm, labor and education policies. Young Mother Slain In Trailer Home Costa Mesa, Calif. (U.R) An attractive 18-year-old moth er was found by her husband early today brutally stabbed and apparently raped on a bed in in her trailer park home here.
