Tornado diamonders accom plished a 3 to 0 verdict over Ashland here and Grants Pass swept a doubleheader 3 to 2 and 8 to 5 over the Klamath Falls Pelicans. While the chase among Medford, Ashland and GP inten sified, Klamath's Pels were all but eliminated from the fight. The Medfordites collected on ly four hits off Ashland pitcher Gene Parent but they needed on ly two of the bingles to manufac ture their runs. A couple of walks, the same number of wild pitches and an error helped out along with a bit of good base running as the Tornado scored twice in the third inning and once in the sixth. Hurls Three-Hitter Black Tornado tosser Henry Putney in the meantime limited the Grizzlies to three safe socks. He struck out six batters and walked five. Three of the bases on balls came the final stanza. Putney got the first two bats men out on strikeouts. Then he walked the next three batters to load the bags and put the pos sible tying run on base. Ernie Tyler came to his relief. Pete Cotton, one of the Grizzlies' top hitters, popped out to end the game. Putney weathered sever al tight situations in other inn ings of the fracas. Shortstop Gordon Owsley came up with one long-stretching backhand stop to aid the Tor nado cause. The liner by Doug Fitch had seemed a sure hit. Ed Reinking, who covers a lot of ground in centerfield, made one particularly long running catch and catcher Dick McLaughlin picked a runner off first base to take the spark out of an Ashland threat. Score in Third Jim Putney and Owsley drew walks in the third inning and Larry Perkins followed up with a single. Putney tallied on the hit and alert base running by Owsley and Perkins produced another score. On the throw in after the hit Owsley headed for third base and Perkins for sec ond. The throw came to catcher Phil Sword who fired to Lance Locke at second in a try to nip Perkins. The ball went through Locke's legs and Owsley dashed home. Duane Sides got a hit for Med ford In the sixth stanza. He went to second on a wild pitch and to third base on Dennis King's ground out. Then another Par ent toss was wild. Sides raced for the plate. Catcher Sword re covered the ball but missed Sides on the attempt to tag him. In addition to having the bases LUBRICATION ALL FOR ONLY SK95 LAKE "WHERE GOOD SERVICE IS A MUST" Medford Main & Fir Sts.

Reports Sketchy On Fishing Luck Sketchy information receiv ed yesterday afternoon indi cated that fishermen's luck on the opening day of - the trout season was generally poor on the Applegate river, fair to good on Rogue river, and good at Willow lake, while at Fish lake a lot of fish were caught. A number of limits in "big" trout were reported at Fish lake. Anglers seemed to have the best luck fishing close to the bottom for ihe big ones. Still fishing, according to the reports, produced better catch es than trolling. Applegate waters were re ported high and muddy. Some fish were caught however. The Rogue was said to be high but good. Limits were said to have been caught in the mili tary bridge area and below Bybee bridge. , A good number of limit catches were reported from Willow lake. Verdict Goes To Logart Syracuse, N. Y.

May company, backer of the rich Tam O'Shant er tournament. Matter-of-Fact The description of Boro's great swing and his attitude towards golf was made by Dr. Cary Middlecoff, also one of the nation's leading linksmen. There are many other golfing collegues of the suave, swarthy Julius who'll agree. Boros has also been portrayed as an extremely personable, matter-of-fact agent. It's said that pressure doesn't bother him because he simply doesn't know what it is. He was the calmest man at Tam O'Shanter when he won, not because he forced him self to be, but because he knows know other way, intimates have stated." That the stellar divoter's at tributes of skill and temperment have paid off, handsomely, is seen by the record. Boros began his professional career in 1949 after shining in the Natjonal Amateur tournament. From 195U through the present he has been consistently in the money for his exploits, in "following the sun." Won U.S. Opener Highlights of his career have been the U.S. Open champion ship in 1952 and the Tam world championships in 1952 and 1955 He is the only man who has won the Tam event twice since it became a 72-hole competition. Boros was named the Profession al Golfers association golfer of the year in 1952. He was the leading money winner that year as well as in 1955. The pro picked up cash in 21 tourneys' last year. His total was $61,971 and included the $50, 000 Tam prize. The total does not include the money that will accrue from guaranteed exhibi tion matches. The other performances of 1955 for Boros included a second place tie in the Bing Crosby, tourney, fifth in the Western Open and tie for fifth in the U. S. open.

Commenting on his victory, Boros, a modest gent, said: "I didn't know I had it won until Gene Littler came up to the 18th tee needing an ace to tie me. I just played the best I could all the way without worrying about what anybody else was doing." Boros started the final round two strokes behind Francis (Bo) Winninger, the 54 hole leader, and one hehind Wally Ulrich and Littler. The 13th twas the turning point.
