Medford&Tribune Stars Blaze Up In PCL; Beavers Divide Vith Seals By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer The Hollywood Stars, who always take six weeks to warm up, were the hottest club in the Pacific Coast League Monday while Sacramento was entering its usual cooling off period after an early-season spurt. , A crowd of 10,224 watched in the Stars' Gilmore Field Sunday as they swept a double header from Los Angeles, 4-1 and 3-0. to leave their cross-town rivals hanging on in first place by five percentage points. Runner-up Seattle had a big chance to zoom into the lead but missed out by blowing its nightcap to cellar-bound Van couver, 8-3, after winning the opener, 6-1, on Bud Podbielan's five-hitter. Sacramento, which hadn't been lower than third since May 1, lost two games to San Diego, 10-5 and 3-0, but remained in third spot by a game and a half over the souped up Pads, Beavers. Seals Split Portland and San Francisco split their twin bill. The Seals won the opener 12-6, and the Beavers took the nightcap 2-1 Bill Lillard ABC Winner Rochester, N.Y. 4J.R) Bill Lillard of Chicago was officially crowned the first "triple crown" champion of the American Bowl ing Congress tournament today at., the close of the 79-day pin busting carnival. Lillard swept nearly all the honors as he won the all-events title with a score of 2,018, team ed with Stan Gifford to win the doubles championship with a 1,331 score, and led the Fal staff Beer team of Chicago to the team crown with a 3,093 score. George Wade of Steubenville, Ohio, won the one big prize that escaped Lillard the singles championship with a score of 744. Lingscheit Adds Touch A la Landy Les Lingscheit, Medford half miler added a "John Landy" touch to the Oregon state Class A-l track and field meet at Cor vallis, his coach, Bob Newland, reported. Lingscheit, who did not work out all last week because of a pulled achilles tendon, was one of the leaders until the back- stretch of the final lap. When he realized he was beginning to "fade," according to Newland, he turned his head to teammate Bilbee Lane, who was still be hind him and shouted, "Lane move up." Lane, 16-year-old sophomore, responded. He1 went on to win the race. Although the handicapped Lingscheit failed to place, New- land credited him with running a "tremendous race. Newland did not see the fin Ish of the half-mile. Lane had bumped a runner when the thin- clads were bunched early in the race, and, had not the coach had some words with the judge, the sophomore might have been disqualified. The jostling did not hamper the other runner but Lane "got an elbow" from him. Slory Fires Tornado The Medford mentor gave some credit to a Portland Ore- gonian story for sparking up the Black Tornado for its Saturday afternoon victory, its fourth straight in a state meet. The story declared that Medford had faltered and that its stock had dropped Friday when the relay team was ''isqualified and El- don Francis failed to qualify for the javelin. Tornado runners, jumpers and throwers didn't appreciate what they read. They went out and showed that they were still the state champions. Lew Breazeale ripped hide off his hand clearing 11 feet 6 in ches for Medford in the pole vault Saturday and was hamper " ed in his further attempts to clear the cross bar. Fine Point - Medford's relay disqualifica tion Friday was on a fine point. Pete Kershaw had just the front part of his foot out of the exchange zone when he took the baton from Wally Larson to begin the second leg of the relay. His heel was still in the zone. Kershaw stopped still to take the pass from the Tornado lead-off man. Still Medford's re lay time was the best of the meet. Grants Pass should be put UOWU as iuuiui lit uic aiaic meet Saturday. The Cavemen had 33 points, no 23 as an addition slip up indicated Sunday. Crater high was seventh in Class A-2 with 16 3-7 points. Even though the Stars take a five game winning streak up to Portland on Tuesday, they re main mired in seventh place thanks to their horrible early season start. However, they looked like the goods Sunday. In the first game the Stars broke a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning with a two-run rally and Paul Pettit singled home another run in the eighth to in sure pitcher Curt Raydon his fourth win of the year. Raydon went the distance. Pettit drove in all of Holly wood's three runs in the night cap with a bases loaded double in the fourth inning and veteran Ben Wade stifled the Cherubs with a three-hitter to post his fourth triumph. San Francisco and Portland remained fifth and sixth xe- spectively by taking turns beat ing each other. Haywood Sulli van drove in a total of five runs for the Seals with a pair of homers in the first game during a 12-6 rout. Bob Alexander bottled the Seals up with a two hitter in the .nightcap, one of the blows being a bases empty homer by Tom Umphlett. He also homered in the first game..
