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.

COLTS, LITHIANS VIE
HERE THIS WEDNESDAY
Pete Berg, ex-Butte Falls Log
ger player, may be tossing the
slants at the batters for the Ash-
lands Lithians Wednesday when
they go against the Cheney Colts.
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.

The skipper could vary his
crew Wednesday in an effort to
give the men experience or to
determine a combination for fu
ture league action. 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

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.
President John Holland of the
Los Angeles club said he had
turned down a proposal by Jerry
Donovan, president of the San
Francisco Seals, who offered
$25,000 cash for Bilko, short
stop Ritchie Myers and pitcher
Marino Pieretti.
"I wouldn't sell Bilko for any
thing," Holland said.

displayed marked ability to slam
or lob the ball back while lead
ing away from the net.
An overpowering, sizzling
service appeared as one of Gon
zales' biggest assets. He frequent
ly aced his singles foe but the
Cincinnatian swished some sin
gletons too and outsteadied his
rival from Los Angeles.
Hartwig appeared the perfect
doubles mate for Trabert as the
two functioned smoothly togeth
er. However, they broke their
rivals' service only twice in the)
match abbreviated because of the
late hour. Gonzales and Segura
won one game on the serve of
Hartwig and Trabert.
The indoor area, although
smaller than specified for the
matches seemed to be no severe
handicap to the world's top five
professional stars.
The appearance of the tour
here was under sponsorship of
the Medford Lions club.
