TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. May II, 1956 Medford&Tmbune Angels Drop Seattle; Portland Victor 6-5 By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The Los Angeles Angels scof-" fed at the theory there is plenty of room at the top and got rid of two competitors for the flag pole position in the Pacific Coast League. The Angels dropped Seattle out of a virtual tie with an 8-5 win while their cross-town play mates, the Hollywood Stars, were disposing of Sacramento 6-3. San Francisco held onto its first division spot by whipping San Diego 5-1 and Portland big inninged Vancouver for a 6-5 victory. Actually, Seattle practically dived off the top spot by com mitting four errors and present ing the Angels with five un earned runs. The two teams teeter-tottered through the first eight innings and Bill Glynn's two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth put the Rainiers on top again. Angel Eruption Then the Angels erupted for four big tallies in the top of the ninth, two of them gifts, and blanked the Suds in the bottom of the frame. Meanwhile, Ben Wade, who waited three days to get a chance to pitch at the Solons, took full - advantage. He tossed a five-hitter and ; slammed out a home run, double ; and single to drive in three Hoi- , lywood runs. Bill Mazeroski and Pete Naton also hit solo homers for the Stars. Roger Osenbaugh was the ; loser as the Stars hit 11 safeties i off him and Tom Lovrich. The unearned run also count ? ed in San Diego as R. W. Smith ' tossed a four hitter at San Diego. ; The Seals got seven hits off Pete Mesa but only one of their scores was untainted. Three San Diego errors be ; frayed Mesa after the Seals had , taken a 1-0 lead in the opening !' frame. Haywood Sullivan, Seal j catcher, scored twice and drove ! in two of the Seal runs. ; Bad Inning i Portland, which moves to Se- attle to open a four-game stand tonight, won the series 2-1. - The Beavers sent 10 men to ' the plate in the seventh and six . of them went all the"way around. . ine Dig blow was a bases-clear-J ing double by Ed Mickelson ; which sent the final three runs ; scampering across. Lefty Werle, who went out for a pinch hitter in the seventh, was the winning pitcher. It was his fifth win against two losses. Jim McDonald, who came in to relieve, was the Vancouver loser. Portland has hit only eight of the four-masters.

Errors Hurt Salem Cause By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer Things seem to be going from bad to worse for the Salem Sena tors who started off the North west League season with a bang. Lately, however, they haven't been able to muster even a whisper. Last night, the Oregonians had a horrible night afield being charged with 8 errors. As a re sult, Wenatchee handed the Sen ators their eighth straight loss in winning 7-1. Wenatchee tallied single runs in the second, third and fifth and finished up with four in the seventh. Three Doubles Doubles by Dick Watson, Don Lundberg and Bill Carrabba, a single and three Salem errors accounted for the big inning. Lewiston got off to an early start and then stuck with it to notch a 12-9 decision over Tri City. The Broncs tallied six runs in the first inning with the aid of doubles by Howard Keefe and Don Brownfield. Bill Benton went all the way but was touch ed for Tri-City's nine runs in the last three frames. Tom Perez of Tri-Citv hom ered in the eighth with one aboard and also drove in two other runs during the night. A scheduled game between Spokane and Eugene' at Spo kane was postponed because of Freshman Track Test Postponed The six-school Southern Ore gon Freshman District track meet has been postponed until Wednesday, May 16, it was an nounced this morning. The meet had been planned for this afternoon at the Med ford senior high school field. Water soaked track, runways and pits and the threat of more rain today forced the postpone ment.

(U.R) Long John Landy, the Australian miracle miler, said today he is "in better shape" for an attempt to crack his own world record of 3:58 than he was in Los An geles last week. Landy, beaten in his first ap pearance last Saturday by fellow-Australian Jim Bailey who was clocked in 3:58.6 to Landy's 3:58.7. will make his second and final U.S. appearance here Sat urday night when he runs in a special mile event in the 30th annual West Coast Relays. "I am more relaxed now and better acclimated than I was in Los Angeles," Landy , said. "However, two such runs in eight days makes it kind of tough. But I do expect to better four minutes." Landy's competition will be hearilinprl hv Don Delanev. the Irishman from Villanova, who has announced he will let Landy set the pace. Reinstatement Of Wes Santee Said ImDOSsible Fresno," Calif. (U.R) AAU President Carl Hansen, stoutly defending his organization,- de clared today there "would be no possibiHty of reinstating" miler Wes Santee despite the threat of a Senate investigation. Hansen, here for the 30th running of the Fresno Relays, also denied charges by Sen. Frank Carlson (R.-Kan.) that the AAU has discriminated against the ace miler by barring him from amateur competition. Santee, now a Marine lieuten ant, was denied for life the right to comoete in amateur track events for "professionalism" in accept more expense money than the AAU allowed. Carlson said Thursday that unless the AAU lifts its ban on the Kansas runner he would de mand an investigation into its practices and ask for "corrective legislation." The jamboree will kick-off the season for the association. Start ing time Sunday will be 1:30 p.m. Approximate ceremony is contemplated in connection with the event. Regular league play will open on Monday, May 14. at the sen ior high stadium.

The number of clubs was re duced to 10 this week with the announcement that Headquarters Company and Company A' are combining into one National Guard team.

(U.R) Yama Bahama, a tough fighter under that name as well as under his original "handle" of William Butler, is a 3-1 favorite over Hardy (Bazooka) Smallwood in tonight's nationally-televised and broadcast fight. Bahama, a native of Bimini Island in the Bahamas group, will go into the ring for the 10 round scrap at War Memorial Auditorium aboard a 21-bout winning streak. Smallwood, a former para trooper from Brooklyn, was held to a draw in his last bout by Ray Drake and is much less ex perienced only 24 profes sional fights to Bahama's 46. Ba hama has won 40 fights. Small wood only 18, although they are each 23 years old.
