baseball pennant fight into a
three-way deadlock.
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.

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.

"Facil, facil," was the way the

scribed Friday night's 10-round
televised and broadcast fight in
which he won an unanimous

Plays Here Thursday
Translated by the third-ranked
welterweight contender's man
ager, Eddie ,Mafuz, Logart said
the fight was "Easy".
All Tied Up
"We want a fight with Car
men Basilio, Tony DeMarco,
Vince Martinez or the champion,
Johnny Saxton," Mafuz said.
"But they're tied up in a round
robin we can't crack.
The ninth-ranked Miceli, who
opened a cut that required two
stitches-over Logart's right eye,
said " It was no fight at all.
He won on low blows."
Referee Joe Palmer warned
Logart for a low punch to the
mid-section during the sixth
round and the crowd of 1,529
booed Logart to the end of the
fight.
Palmer cave five rounds to
Logart, four to Miceli and one

Julius Boros, world champion
golfer, who'll appear Thursday,

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. He tied for fourth
in the Masters and for second
in the Greensboro and Miller's

opens.
In the 1955 world champion
ship competion, the 36-year-old
Boros was hard pressed by a
battery of star contenders es
pecially in the final 18 holes
of the 72 hole world title pursuit.
He refused to fold up. He rip
ped two strokes off Tam O'
Shanter's par 72 and finished
with sevent under with 281 for
the route 72 holes. His round-by-round
score was 70, 72, 69,
70281.
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. Boros holed a spectacular
35 foot putt for a birdie and
Littler, short with his second
shot, missed a six foot putt to
trail by a stroke which he was
never able to retrieve.
Boros parred the next three
holes, then birdied the 17th with
a nine foot putt to clinch the
prize.
