Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, April 20. 193S I arsnman Edges in Score 1 x-Tribe Hurling Due By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer Into that very special niche re served for classic pitching duels went the memorable 1-0 battle j of Jack Harshman and Herb Score today, and despite the tin gling tenseness of the double two-hitter, the White Sox lefty figured all the way to beat Cleveland's sophomore south paw. Last year, when Harshman won 11 games for the season, five of his victories were over the Indians and each was a standout performance. And Score, who won rookie of the year honors with 16 victories, lost three times to the White Sex. There were only two clubs, the White Sox and Yankees, that he didn't beat. In his 1955 triumphs over Cleveland, Harshman never yielded more than two runs and he had a three-hitter, a four hitter, and three five-hit jobs. On two other occasions he was beaten, being kayoed early. In Thursday's battle Score had visions of a no-hitter, even ; after Chicago scored the only; run of the game in tne seventh on a walk to Minnie Minoso, a two-base wild pitch, and Larry Doby's sacrifice fly. It wasn't until the eighth, when Walt Dropo opened with a single, that the spell was broken. Luis Aparicio followed with another single and that was it None Beyond Second Oddly, the two hits yielded by Harshman also were in succes sion to Bobby Avila and Al Smith in the fourth. No runner got beyond second. Harshman struck out five, walked only two. Score struck out 10- but walked five. There was fine pitching else where in the American League. At Detroit Bobby Shantz, an other lefty, gave Kansas City a heartening performance when he held the Tigers to five hits and a 4-1 triumph that indicated his arm is sound again. Young Tom Brewer two-hitted the Orioles at Boston in a 4-2 tri umph and Chuck Stobbs, one of two pitchers left on the Wash ington roster who beat the Yan kees last season, turned in a seven hit 7-3 win over them. But it was mainly, a hitter's day in the National, especially at Cincinnati where there were eight homers in a 10-inning 10-9 triumph for the Redlegs over St. Louis. The Dodgers pounded out a 514 come-from-behind triumph ,over the Phillies in 10 innings at jersey City and the Pirates edged the Giants, 3-2.Bob Buhl pitched Milwaukee to a 3-1 tri umph over Chicago. Kansas City scored all of its runs for Shantz in the fifth on a succession of five singles and a sacrifice by Bobby himself. Earl Torgeson's home run for Detroit prevented a shutout. Mickey Vernon broke a 2-rl tie with a two-run double in the fifth to supply Brewer with his victory margin in a duel with Erv Palica. Two undistinguished hitters, Jim Lemon and Ed FitzGerald each collected three blows in cluding a homer apiece in Wash ington's triumph. Stobbs, who won only four games last year, beat the Yankees twice. Pest Ices Game Wally Post's bases-loaded sin-1 gle was good for two runs ana victory for Cincinnati. He hit it off reliever Ellis Kinder, the same hurler who struck him out in a similar game-ending situa tion on Tuesday. Bill Sarni with two and Stan Musial and. Wally Moon hit Card homers. Ray Ja blonski with a grand slammer .and Post. Ted Kluszewski and Smoky Burgess homered for the Redlegs. ' Roy Campanula's 1,000th big league hit, a double, drove in one run and Rube Walker brought in the other with a sacrifice fly in Brooklyn's triumph. Gil Hodges grand slam double brought in the three earlier runs. Ronnie Kline pitched seven hit ball as the Bucs came from behind .with two runs in the sev-J enth to beat Allan vvortningion in a tight duel. Frank Thomas singled home what proved to be the winning run in the eighth, offsetting a, Giant homer by Daryl Spencer in the ninth. Singles by rookie Wes Coving ton and Danny O'Connell drove in the seventh inning runs that gave Euhl his triumph. Coving ton had batted for Buhl.

UNE Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) The sports world, dewy-eyed and devastat ingly emotional, wrung out its red bandannas today and settled almost back to normal in the wake of the Grace Kelly-Prince Rainier wedding. Of course, it will be a while before they all fall into stride. As the boxing guys allowed, as result of the various investiga tions, "This thing shook us up pretty good." So here are some of the sport ing quotes, and slightly para phrased quotes, on the trans-Atlantic Philadelphia story: Yogi Berra: "I sincerely hope that nobody infers any Freudian overtones but to me this is mod ern conquest for Eros in what unquestionably is a veritable present-day repetition of the classic of Tristan and Isolde." Didn't Get Invited Mickey Mantle: "Ugh!" Dodgers Prefer Brooklyn Park To Jersey City Jersey City, N.J. (U.R) The Dodgers think Jersey City is okay, but they'll take Brooklyn, thank you. There wasn't any hot water in the clubhouse, the fences didn't beckon as invitingly as they do lat Ebbets Field, and the Dodg ers made five errors, yet most of the Brooklyn players had a good word for their new part time "home" here after defeat ing the Phillies, 5-4, in 10 in nings Thursday. The game, which drew a dis appointing crowd of 12,214, was the first major league contest played at Jersey City since 1889, and it was also the first of seven regularly scheduled contests the Dodgers will play at Roosevelt Stadium this season. Few Homers "You can bet all the gold in Ft. Knox there won't be very many homers hit in this park, declared Duke Snider as he towelled himself in the club house after the game. "And that new sod in the out field is pretty rough, too," he added, "but it'll get better as the season goes along." Jackie Robinson, who made his debut in organized baseball at Roosevelt Stadium 10 years ago, said he liked the park then and still does now. ' l l Foy- Moss (9) and Gromek. New York 000 020 100 3 Washington ... 200 230 OOx 7 Vancouver, B. C. Bids For Landy Appearance Vancouver, B. C. (U.R) John Landy, the world's mile record holder, has been invited to com pete in Vancouver in May by the British Columbia Olympic and British Empire Games as sociation. R. F- Osborne, secre tary of the association said there was a possibility that Landy will be able to compete in the an nual Sports Day May 25, but added an earlier date will be ar ranged if Landy is unable to make it for the Sports Day. Landy Invited By Oregon AAU Portland (U.R) John- Landy, Australia's great miler, will be invited to compete in the state AAU track and field champion ships here June 2. Frank Learned, chairman of the meet, said it was hoped that a "race among Landy and Bill Dellinger and Jim Bailey of the University of Oregon could be arranged. Landy is due in the U.S. next month and will com pete in two California events. Duke Snider: "For some rea son or other, I never received an invitation." King Clancy: "Me neider." Lou Little: "You might not win as many titles, but you can make more ground with the Statue of Liberty play." Philadelphia Phillies: "We wish everybody would "come back home while we're still in the first division." Moe Berg: "Touiours, loch heim and on those tables the visiting team doesn't have a chance." Sam Snead: "Them thar moun tains shore would be a fine place for a feller to bury his tomato cans." Eddie Arcaro: "A boat race, pure and simple." Gorgeous George: "Weren't the clothes simply divine?" Casey Stengel: "Well, one time in Kaycee, there was this here feller, and in Boston an other guy named Kelly won the marathon, so whatta ya gonna do with, two on base and nobody out? So why not?" Wes Santee: "Even without me, Monaco will not win the Olympic games." The Navy crew: "A dillar. a dollar, a 10 o'clock sculler." Rocky Graziano: "Tings wuz never like ctis on Second Ave- noo." Happy Chandler: "Ah loves baseball and motherhood." The ex-Philadelphia As: "It's Kansas City kitty for me." Willie Mays: "Man, what loot. And all I got on my wedding day was a ticket-for speeding." "Moider Da Bum" Tony Galento: "I'll moider da bum who sez she shouldn'ta oughta gone and done it. Now tap da udder barrel." Country Slaughter: Five times married, "A couple of ranked amateurs." All in all it had a profound effect on American sports. The Lioagers ana the Giants were smiling at each other; Eddie Stanky said "Hello, old pal" to Leo Durocher, and Clint Court ney and Billy Martin weren't mad at anybody. Joe Louis, re ferring to one of his previous utterances, praised the American go-getter instinct by recalling: "He can run, but he can't hide." Then, as the golden sun dipped into the west, he went back to practicing his flying drop-kick. Harry Fine Called Up in Mitt Probe Oakland, Calif. (U.R) Harry Fine, manager of lightweight contender Joey Lopes, was scheduled to take the stand to day as the state probe of boxing in California sought to find out if the fighter is controlled by Promoter Jimmy Murray. Murray heatedly denied at- Thursday's session that he own ed any part of the boxer or that he took a hand in forcing the sale of Lopes' contract by Phil Garcia, his original owner, to Fine. Murray also denied having any business with Frankie Car bo, an underworld figure, or sending any "kickbacks" to Los Angeles Promoter Babe McCoy. Checks to Ginsberg However, Murray did agree that he made out checks totalling more than S3,200 to one Willie Ginsberg of Los Angeles, who Cox characterized as a "self-described hanger on in the fight business." Murray said that these pay ments, made in nine different checks from March 1948 to Sep tember of 1950, constituted Ginsberg's "booking fees" along with the fact that "Certain fel lows would tell me to be nice to Willie so I could get their fighters." One check made out to Gins berg, in September of 1950 for S750, Cox declared, showed a second endorsement by a Mrs. Martin Veselich, whom he iden tified as Baby McCoy's daugh ter. Cox showed a photostat of the check to Murray who said he didn't know who she was.
