Julius Boros
To Give Golf
Advice Here
"The driver is one of the
easiest clubs in the bag to use
for it is designed with a wide,
flat sole, which will help you
right the club if it should be
swung a little too deeply into
the turf. Because it is so ele
mentary, and requires less ef
fort on the part of the player, I
enjoy using it more than any
other club."
The foregoing remarks are by
Julius Boros, world champion
golf professional who will ap
pear at Rogue Valley Country
club on Thursday, May 3. Boros
will team with Clayton Lewis,
president of Rogue Valley,
against George Harrington and
Al Williams, club manager and
club pro, respectively.
Prior to the exhibition, the
touring pro will hold a clinic.
He is expected to discuss the use
of the driver as well as other
clubs. The clinic is set for 1 p.m.
with the 18-hole match to follow.
Too Money Winner
Boros won the .World Champ
ionship tourney in 19o5 at lam
n'cviantpr Country club. Chi
cago. His victory made him the
top links earner of the year. ine
TLTi-rHnen Pnuntrv club (North
" ,
Carolina) golfer also won the
World tournev in 19o2, tne same
vear he took the U. S. open. Ben
Hogan is the only other two-time
winner of the Tarn event.
The pro's appearance here is
sponsored by the Jackson Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce
through arrangement with the
George S. May company, which
backs the World championship
affair. Boros, as a result of. tne
Tarn triumph won a contract for
a minimum of 55 exhibitions
about the country. He is also
on the advisory staff of the wn
nn Rnortine Goods company.
"The main secret to hitting
good drives lies in the ability
of the player to relax," Boros
says. "There is something about
the driver which calls out to
most people (swing me as hard
as you can) and this idea is
entirely wrong for good shots
off the tee."
Spectator
Attends Tilt
At Own Risk
Salem i'U.R) The State Su
preme Court ruled today that a
spectator at a baseball game as
sumes the risk of being hit by a
foul ball.
The court, in passing on an ap
peal of William E. Hunt against
the Portland Baseball club, held
that Hunt was familiar with the
game, knew the risks of watch
ing it and appreciated the risks
when he sat in an unscreened
part of the stadium.
Hit By Foul
Hunt was hit by a foul ball at
Vaughn street ball park Aug. 8,
1952. when he left his seat in the
stands opposite third base and
headed for the exit.
He recovered a jury verdict
for $2,400 but Judge James E.
Crawford set the verdict aside
and entered judgment for the
ball club. Hunt appealed, claim
ing the existence of the ball
clubs negligence was a question
for the jury to decide.
The high court, however, held
that Hunt knowingly placed him
self in a risky area and that the
ball club was guilty of no unrea
sonable conduct.
Public Helps Out
Olympic Champ
Rock Island. 111. (U.R! A gen
erous public today promoted Bill
Smith, America's only wrestling
gold medal winner in the 1952
Olympics, to reverse his deci
sion against entering the final
Olympic trials for the 1956 team.
Smith, who as late as Wednes
day night said he couldn't af
ford to travel to California this
week end for the competition,
was rescued from his financial
plight by an llth-hour rush of
donations on his behalf.
However, two other top Unit
ed States wresting prospects.
Terry McCann of Iowa, national
collegiate 115-pound titlist the
last two years, and Ken Leuer
of Iowa. 191-pound NCAA cham
pion, will not enter the trials
because the trip would interfere
with their school work.
Smith won his Olympic title
at 160 pounds in 1952 and now
is teaching at Rock Island High
school. He said he has a family
to support and couldn't spare
the money.

VIC WERTZ
IN 5-2 WIN
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Vic Wertz is well on the way
today toward making a come
back that would rank among
the most dramatic in sports his
tory. Felled by polio last summer,
the 31-year-old Cleveland In
dians' first baseman is whaling
the ball at a .429 clip and ranks
as one of the Tribe's big hopes
of preventing the New York
Yankees from making a run
away of the American League
pennant race.
Big Vic he's back to his pre
polio weight of 190 pounds
blasted a homer, double and two
singles in four trips to the plate
Wednesday night to lead the In
dians to a 5-2 triumph over the
Kansas City Athletics. The out
burst gave him a season's record
of nine hits in 21 trips to the
plate. He has hit two homers,
knocked in five runs and is tak
ing up the slack left by the de
parted Larry Doby.
Throws Five-Hitter
Herb Score, the rookie strike
out king of 1955, breezed to his
first victory of the new cam
paign behind the Indians' nine
hit attack, striking out eight
batters and yielding only five
hits. Hector Lopez collected
three of the hits off Score, who
fanned 245 batters last year and
has struck out 18 in two games
this season.
The victory their third in
seven games was especially im
portant to the Indians because
the Yankees rolled on to their j
seventh triumph in eight con
tests with a 4-2 verdict over the
Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees
broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh in
ning when shortstop Willie Mir
anda threw wildly on a potential
inning-ending double play and
added a cushion run for Whitey
Ford when Hank Bauer followed
with a triple.
Ford, who beat the Boston
Red Sox, 7-1, in his first start,
did not allow an earned run,
yielded six hits and struck out
eight batters in scoring his
second win of the young season.
The Red Sox, meanwhile, suf
fered their fourth straight loss
when Pedro Ramos pitched a
three-hitter to give the Washing-
Je:iHS '.tiDeS brought out that the
Ramos struck out eight batters
and lost his bid for a shutout
on a sixth-inning homer by
Jackie Jensen. Roy Sievers hom
ered for the Senators who sent
former teammate Bob Porter
field to his first setback in Bos
ton flannels.
Jackie Steals Home
In the National League, the
Brooklyn Dodgers took over un
disputed possession of first place
for the first time this season
when they beat the New York
Giants, 7-2, in the campaign's
first meeting of the arch-rivals
Carl Erskine pitched seven-hit
ball for the Dodgers and Gil
Hodges connected for three hits,
including a homer, but the high
light of the contest was provid
ed by 37-year-old Jackie Robin
son. Robinson, who had to fight to
hold his job during spring train
ing, tallied the first Dodger run
when he stole home for the 20th
time in his career in the second
inning. Robinson went 2-for-3.
Jim Hearn suffered the loss for
the Giants, whose team batting
average for the year is a sickly
.210.
Harvey Haddix's two - hitter
and Stan Musial's 540th double
of his career sparked the St.
Louis Cardinals to a 6-0 decision
O'Connor Clamps
Down on Batters
In Coast League
San Francisco (U.R) Presi
dent Leslie O'Connor of the Pa
cific Coast League has ruled that
any batter who beefs more than
30 seconds over a called strike
shall be put out of the game.
O'Connor also ruled that the
player will be ejected and may
be fined, even without the time
limit, if he insults the umpire.
The league prexy made the
ruling in an open letter to Um
pire Pat Orr, who had reported
that Sacramento .first baseman
Ferris Fain had "put on quite
a show" over a called strike
in a game between Hollywood
and Sacramento last Thursday.
Orr said he "leaned over back
ward" to avoid ousting Fain.
However, O'Connor, said an um
pire must do 'his duty. He said
Fain will be fined.
O'Connor said beefing over
strikes and balls unduly delays
the game.

Oregon Game Resources Compared
To Box of Apples: Demand Heavy
Oregon State Game Commis-, stated that the program of the
sioners are "trying to pass the
box of apples around," Kenneth
G. Denman, Medford attorney
and member of the commission,
stressed yesterday in a talk at
the luncheon meeting of Med
ford Kiwanis club.
Speaking at Rogue Valley
Country club. Denman com
pared Oregon's fish and game
resources to a box of apples
"There are just so many apples
in a box," he said just so many
fish and game animals and
places to hunt and fish to go
around
The- game commissioner also
spoke of the heavy demand on
wildlife fish and game in
Oregon as opposed to nature s
decreasing ability to produce.
Denman mentioned how rich in
game the Rogue river valley was
150 years ago and how the com
ing and growth of civilization in
the valley has reversed that sit
uation. He asked the questions:
How much is each (sportsman)
going to get out of the "box?"
How long is it (the wildlife)
going to last? Will it be per
petuated? Telling of the large number
commission is trying to decide
what is best for the greatest
number. He declared that the
commissioners have "no axes
to grind." It's not known today
what's best for tomorrow and
there is a lot to be learned yet
about game management, Den
man said.
Need Cooperation

Denman spoke of the argu
ment on what should be the aim

should expect a full bag when

try to take everything he can to

Wednesday Scuffles
Bunch Up PCL Teams
By DON THACKREY
United Press Sports Writer
If a tight pennant race makes
the turnstiles click, the Pacific
Coast League appears in for a
large whirring sound.
After last night's battles the
San Francisco Seals were only
one game out of first but were
in the second division.
Los Angeles vaulted into a tie
with league-leading Seattle with
out turning a wheel, but by
merely sitting by playing pin
ochle, their .game with Sacra
mento was rained out.
San Diego missed a chance to
take over the top spot when the
Padres dropped a 2-1 closie to
Portland while the Seals were
hammering Seattle 11-1. Holly
wood shoved Vancouver into the
loop cellar with a 4-3 victory.
Bill Werle got credit for 'the
victory over San Diego that kept
the Padres a half game out, tied
with Sacramento. However,
Werle needed last inning help
from Rey Shore, who came on
in the bottom of the ninth with
two on and only one out and
preserved the game.
Lone Run
Jack Macko homered in the
eighth for San Diego's only run.
Seattle got only two hits off
Robert G. Smith, San Francisco
rookie, while the Seals manu
factured 13 off three Rainier
hurlers to drop the leaders back
into a first place tie.
Fred Baczewski took the loss
when the Seals erupted for four
runs in the fifth and then re
peated the performance in the
ninth. Gordie Windhorn and Tom
Umphlett were San Francisco's
batting heroes, each getting three
hits.
R. C. Stevens was the hero of
the Hollywood win, clouting his
