SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, May 29. 1958 MEDFORD TO PLAY LINCOLN FOR fl-1 PREP BASEBALL TOGA Black Tornado Clips High-Rated Indians 2-1 in Semi-Finale ' Take last week's Oregon high school rating poll. Put it with yesterday's sparkling, thunder ous victory on the county fair grounds diamond. That makes Medford's roaring Black Torna do the No. 1 baseball power in the state, a ranking the Raging Wind o Oregon's pear capital will be out to uphold come Sat urday night in Portland's Mult nomah stadium. Medford's blazing, confident baseballers, have played their best this season when the chips were down. They did it again yesterday and pulled off "the triumph of the season," stun ning high-riding The Dalles, 1955 champion and the favorite to repeat, in a Class A-1 state semi final i elimination battle here. The score was 2 to 1. Victory put the Black Tor nado up against Lincoln high of Portland in the Saturday A-1 titular finale in Portland. The Cardinals last night trimmed Central Catholic 9 to 0 in the other semi-final. Ends Win Streak A crowd of some 1,000 ex uberant, screaming fans, larg est turnout for a prep diamond tangle here in many a season, saw Medford hand The Dalles Its first loss In 20 games this year and end after 30 contests an Indian winning streak which began last season. The Indians had rated over a period of sev eral week's as the state's No. 1 team. The triumph goes Into the Tor nado record books as possibly the greatest in Medford high baseball history and was a sup erbly played encounter. It was the Black Tornado's ninth con secutive win of the season. Getting just two hits but mak ing both of them count for mar kers, and playing hustling, bril liant defense all afternoon, the Tornado came through in a stir ring, dramatic finish. Ed Rein king slashed a low line single into right field to score Jim Putney with the winning run with two out in the bottom of the seventh and final inning. The closing Medford turn at bat had all the aspects of a Frank Merriwell novel. A Tornado mar ker in the initial stanza and a run by the Indians in the fourth had tied the score at 1 apiece. Jim Putney led off the final batting turn by drawing a walk from hurler Bill Roark. He got to second base on a wild pitch. Ron Peery laid down a bunt which the pitcher fielded and threw to third base too late to catch Putney. Denny Peterson, The Dalles' top pitching star, then came in to relieve Roark. He issued a walk to Henry Put ney to load the bags with none away. Two attempts to squeeze home Jim Putney on a bunt failed and Gordon Owsley and Larry Perkins both struck out for two down. Then Reinking stepped to the plate. He let Pet- eron's first pitch go by for a ball. The next toss he smashed into the outfield and Putney romped home and the game was over. A portion of the jubilant crowd surged onto the field Medford utilized two bases on balls, a fielder's option and a single to manufacture its only other run of he game. Owsley drew a walk to start off Med ford's part of the opening panel. Perkins slapped the ball to third base, forcing out Owsley but getting to first himself. Rein- king was walked. Larry Gober whacked a double to left field and Perkins came home. Larson Drives In Run Pete Foley of The Dalles was hit by a pitch in the fourth in ning. He swiped second and went to the third sack on Roark's groundout. Ed Davidson walk ed and Rich Larson followed with a Texas league single to left field, scoring Foley. But for some faulty base run ning, the Indians might have had another run or two. Gary Woodworth doubled with one out in the third inning and Doug Woolsey walked. Bob Lee lofted a fly which dropped into left field. Woodworth held up at second on the play instead of leading off. Quick fielding by Peery in the left pasture and a throw to third base got Wood worth out on a force. In the fifth canto Woolsey singled and was sacrificed to second by Lee. Bill Sallee got a hit and went to second on an error, Woolsey getting to third base on the rap. Irwin Fandrey socked a fly to deep left field. Woolsey led off instead of tag ging up. Peery came through with another quick throw and by the time Woolsey got back to third there wasn't time to try for home. Great Fielding Roark, while yielding just one hit in his six innings plus on the mound, gave up six bases on balls. But he kept them scat tered through the middle frames and flawless fielding kept the Black Tornado from denting home plate. Medford had its great fielding too with Owsley at shortstop and Perkins at second base making the long stretch or deep stop to hold down the Indians. Each had four assists,. After Woolsey's failure to score in the fifth pan el, Foley whacked a grounder that Perkins had to go far for and his throw to first was just in the nick of time to prevent a run. The Tornado came up with a double play, Owsley to Per kins to Sides at first, in the op ening inning. The Dalles collected five hits off the Medford chuckers, four off Ernie Tyler and one off Hen ry Putney. Tyler whiffed three men and Putney one and Tyler walked two. The Indian throw ers combined for seven bases on balls and six strikeouts. No batter got more than one hit in the game. Henry Putney was Medford's winning pitcher along with twin brother, Jim, scoring the win ning run. Roark, who permitted the winning run to get on the bases, took the loss. Poetic Justice The 1956 baseball edition of the Black Tornado became the school's first diamond aggrega tion to gain actual state finals. In 1953 Medford was one of eight schools to reach state tour ney play but rain prevented any games and all eight were declar ed co-champions. Yesterday's victory came as a sort of poetic justice. In 1952 an other strong Medford club was eliminated by The Dalles in a state semi-final conflict. The score in that fracas was also 2 to 1. Medford's game Saturday will be under lights with a 9 p.m. starting time set.v The Tornado has not played under lights this season and Coach John Kovenz taking a team into the state fin ale in his first year as a prep coach, plans drills under the football stadium arcs on Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday. The squad will leave Friday morning for Portland. The Tornado mentor had high praise for his players who "just won't give up." Jim Cloutier hit a grand slam homer for Lincoln against the Rams last night. BOX: The Dalles Lee. 2b Sallee. 3b ....

The game will be at 2 p.m. at the fairgrounds ball park here. Both clubs are members of the semi-pro Rogue Valley Baseball league.' However, the scuffle will have no loop significance. Gene Parent and Phil Sword were the Lithian battery Sunday when Ashland won over Butte Falls. . Neither was expected to be available Wednesday. An Ashland report yesterday said that the youths have jobs that demand their time. In the ab sence of Sword, Jerry Mont gomery, ex-Talent high athlete, may wear the mask and chest protector. Possible inf ielders for the Ash land nine are Jack Colley, man ager, first base; Giward Knox, second base; Loyal Green, third base and Howard Gang, short stop. May Vary Line-up Manager Harry Tonn may call on Eldon Davidson, ex-Grants Pass high to do the pitching for the Colts. Laval Meunier or Ger ald Darland mav do the catch- ing. On Sunday the Colt infield- Vale's To Go Central Point Vale high's Vikings combined stellar pitch ing and heavy walloping here yesterday to fight their way into the finals for the Oregon Class A-2 baseball championship. The Vikes shutout the Crater high Comets 11 to 0 in a semi finals skirmish to win the right to face either Seaside or Canby at Multnomah stadium in Port land on Saturday night for the A-2 banner. Canby and Seaside were to have played their semi final affair today. While Gerald Harrod was per mitting only one Crater hit over the six innings he pitched, he and his Vale teammates collect ed 10 hits, most of them rousing wallops, off the offerings 'of Comet tosser Fred Herrmann. Five Crater errors also aided the Viking run production. Struck Out 11 Harrod struck out 11 batters and walked three in his six in ning stint. Gene Bates threw the final inning and gave no hits or walks. Herrmann whiffed nine and also gave three bases on balls. For a marker in the opening inning Vale put together a walk. a single by Harrod and a wild pitch which let Gene Bates home. Bill Moore tripled and Frank Bishop singled for a run in the second. In a three-run third inning Frank Haveley doubled and Gene Bates, Moore and Bishop singled. In the fifth inning an error, fielder's choice and Gary Smith's single ac counted for a run. Big scoring frame for the Vikes was the sixth with five runs. Larry Bates and Smith each two-baggered. There were three errors and a base on balls. Crater's Gary Smith singled in the fifth inning for the Com et's only hit. Closest to a threat by Crater was in the fourth in ning when Bill Reaves and Herr mann walked with one out. Six Lefties Six left handed hitters helped give Vale its batting might. Despite the semi-final defeat Crater considered its season a successful one. The Comets had eight victories and, while they dropped seven games, they were unbeaten in A-2 rivalry until yesterday's fracas. Crater won the Rogue League toga, beat Douglas for the dis trict crown then upset Junction City in state quarter-finals. Six of the setbacks this season were at the hands of A-1 schools. The Comets had one tie and were leading when another game was halted by rain. Crater's action against Vale was its last as an A-2 school. It moves up into A-1 next year. The game also completed Clar ence Mellbye's service as Comet coach. He's been named vice- principal of the school. LINESCORE: Vale 113 015 0 11 10 Crater 000 000 0 0 1 Harrod. G.

The Colts are a farm contingent of the Cheney Studs of the Southern Oregon League. While the Memorial day game does not count, the tussle should throw some light on the RVL outlook for the clubs. The Colts have bowed to Glendale and Ashland has dropped a decision to . Cave Junction in non-loop play and beaten Butte Falls in the circuit.

LARGE RAINBOW TROUT - Everything Furnished NO LICENSE NO LIMIT . . Open Every Day ELROD'S TROUT FARM 4 Miles West of Talent en Anderson Creek Tony Trabert Tips Pancho Gonzales in Pro Tennis Scuffle Desire of Tony Trabert to' keep his tennis future alive re ceived a big lift last night when the 195 world amateur titlist subdued the world pro champ, Pancho Gonzales in Hedrick junior high school gymnasium here. Trabert downed Gonzales 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the feature match of another leg of the world's championship professional tour. It was the first appearance of big time tennis in Medford and the skill and dexterity of the top players in the sport drew the "ahs" and "ohs" and en thusiastic applause of a small audience of 559 paying cus tomers. Other matches during the eve ning saw- Pancho Segura win 8-4 from Jack Kramer, who is just getting into shape for na tional pro tourney at Los An geles, and Trabert teamed with Rex Hartwig, Australian Davis Cup star, to defeat Gonzales and Segura, a world doubles champ, 8-6. Gonzales, who has already cinched a $25,000 bonus for his play against Trabert, has a 72 to 24 edge in victories over the youth from Cincinnati, O. Hart wig and Trabert have won 56 of 76 tussles with their doubles rivals. In the deciding set last night between Trabert and Gonzales, each won his service through the third game. Then Trabert broke his foe's service and won his own to go ahead 4-1. Each then took his service until Gon zales broke through on Traberts serve to slice the set score to 5 to 4. Pancho tied it up at 5-all but Trabert won a love game for 6-5. In the next game Gonzales lost three straight points on his own serve and gave Trabert three chances for set and match points. He cut the count to 30-40 but Trabert came through with a cross1 court backhand to end the tangle. Ecuadorian Pancho Segura's better conditioning from more constant play paid off against Kramer who is regarded as the all-time greatest star in tennis. Both possessed versatility in shots and Segura capitalized in lightning agility to move about for lobs and volleys. Kramer Bilko's Bat Continues to Dominate PCL San Francisco (U.R) Steve Bilko, , Los Angeles slugging first baseman, boosted his bat ting average 22 points during the past week to consolidate his position at the head of the Pa cific Coast League hitters with a .411 mark. At the same time he bashed out seven home runs during the week to bring his total for the season to 18. Bilko also leads In hits with 69 and is second in runs-batted-in with 44. Bob Anderson, Los Angeles right hander, tops the loop in hurling with a perfect 5-0 mark. Dick Drott of the Angels leads in strikeouts with 74. San Francisco (U.R) Los An geles baseball fans can rest as sured that homeruh swatter Steve Bilko isn't taking his .411 batting average anywhere.
