Newspaper Page TextTTW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuwday, June S. 1958 Sal Maglie Hurls Bum Victory; Pirates Take 1st Place in NL By MILTON RICHMAN United Press SuorU Writer Anything can happen in base ball and there was proof of that today in the fact that Sal Maglie, an old-time Giant, pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates into first place while wearing a once-hated Brooklyn uniform. How ' that again? Well, here's how it all hap pened. Maglie, making his first start for the Dodgers Monday night, knocked the Braves out of the National League lead by beating them, 3-0, on a three- hitter. As soon as Maglie retired Hank Aaron for the final out, the idle Pirates, some of whom had their ears cocked to radios in Chicago, automatically went into first place by a full game. Regain Top Spot The Pirates first took over first place by percentage points when they beat Milwaukee in the first game of a doubleheader last Sunday but quickly dropped back to second place when they lost the nightcap. Now with full game lead, there's a little more authenticity to their front porch perck. I he JU-year-old Maglie, an arch enemy of the Dodgers dur ing the many years he was with the Giants, never was better than he was Monday night. He struck out five batters, walked only one and allowed only one Milwaukee runner to advance as far as second base. Ransom Jackson singled home Brooklyn's first run in the open ing frame off Lew Burdette and PeeWee Reese and Gil Hodges tagged him for homers in the eighth. Redlegs .Trip Phillies Cincinnati, remaining a game out of first place, defeated Phil adelphia, 8-2, as Art Fowler pitched five-hit ball .'for his fourth triumph. Fowler had a shutnut until the ninth when the Phils pushed across a pair of unearned runs. The Cardinals, also only a game from the top, defeated the Giants, 11-5, with Vinegar Bend Mizell turning in his sixth vic tory. St. Louis hopped on starter Don Liddle for five runs in the first three innings and led the rest of the way although Foster Castleman hit a three-run homer S1PB8TS in the fourth innning and Bill White hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Ken Boyer paced the Cards' 15-hit offensive with his 13th homer, two doubles and a single. Chisox Bury Birds The Chicago White Sox shaved the idle Yankees' American League lead to four games by crushing the Baltimore Orioles, 13-4. Lefty Billy Pierce had a two-hit shutout until he tired in the eighth but he was credited with his seventh victory. Chicago collected 14 hits and scored 11 of its runs off starter Don Ferrarese. Nellie Fox had four hits for the White Sox and Minnie Minoso hit a two-run homer in the eighth. Mike Garcia of the Indians turned in his best effort of the season as he struck out 12 bat ters and gave up only seven hits in defeating the Senators, 7-0. Pete Ramos started for Wash ington and was nicked for homers by Jim Busby and young Earl Averill. Studs Start Season On Wednesday Night Jerry Droscher, product of Roseburg high school and stellar American Legion junior base ball pitcher last year probably will open on the mcund for the Medtord Cheney Studs Wednes day night when they encounter the Yreka, Calif., semi-professional aggregation at the fair grounds ball park here at 8 p.m. His probable chucking rival is Rocky Biscotti. Manager Jack Cooney will have three other pitchers on hand for the evening and may have one or two of them see service if the opportunity pre sents itself. The three are Don White, Roseburg high tutor, and Derald Wooton and Jim Kelly, holdovers from the 1955 Studs. Droscher appears in a Cheney uniform this year after having hurled one triumph for the Roseburg Chiefs over the Studs last season. Roseburg is not fielding a club this year. Manager Bill Snavely have Larry Cummings and Bill Ewing available for pitching' re lief if Biscotti needs it. Others In Line-Up Other possible players in the Yreka line-up are Larry Dp- Rushia, catcher; Jack Clark, Tom Hamlin, Gary Harrington Low on Jaycee Links Qualifying Gary Harrington and Tom Hamlin were low qualifiers in the district competition at Rogue Valley Country club and won the right to represent this area in the state Junior Chamber of Commerce Golf tournament June 29 and 30 and July 'l at The Dalles. ' Harrington had a 77 last Sat urday to put with his 83 of the previous week for a 36-hole count of 160. Hamlin added an 80 to a previous 82 for a 162 score. They headed a field of nine who started out on the sec ond lap last Saturday. Tony Monroe had 82-89 171 and Pete Rasmussen 84-88 172.

Machamer. the slim speedster from Madras who has been beaten only once this year, ran the fastest quarter of his career in winning the District 2 title in Portland recently, and may be considered a definite threat at San Diego. His time in the district meet was 49.4. day, June 17. Bob Johnson and Russ Heysell will oppose Ed Milne and Deane Lambert. Alan Holmes was low gross with a 72 in last Saturday's RV- CC sweepstakes. Bill Thorndike with 78-10 68 and Bob Voegtly with 82-14 68 tied for low net. Second low net score was 83 14 69 by Frank Allen. Tied for next low were Bud Judy 85-14 71 and Lee Flink 80-971. t Blind bogey was won by Stan Stark and Ivan and George Har rington with 73s. first base; Butch Pickard, second base; Jim Kutzer, third base; Willie Jones, shortstop; Lew Fasoletti, left field; Jack Behnke center field, and Don Costello, right field. Frank Roelandt, Medford high assistant diamond coach and Stud player of former seasons, will do the catching for the locals Wednesday. Cooney will start at first base but may give way to Tiger Bob Smith, ex Grants Pass high and semi-pro player and ex-Southern Oregon college. , Second base and shortstop are choices among Dick Toney, from Lewis and Clark college, Don LaBeau, who has played Army ball, and Jim Taylor, from Ari zona State college. Wooton may be at third base. In the outfield the probables are John Kovenz, Medford high coach and ex-Coos Bay-North Bend lumberjack placer, Jim Steffen, from Uni versity of California at Los An geles, and Doy Gatlin, from Ari zona State. Bill McLean is a coach and reserve outfielder. At last report Yreka had played at least six games, mak ing it considerably farther along in shape for the season than the Studs, who have yet to take the field as a team. Because of the games behind it, Yreka is ex pected to be a tough rival for the Medford nine. A record of four wins and two losses listed for the Californians did not include pos sible games last week end. Glendale Tops Butte Falls 12-3 Glendale kept its Rogue Val ley League baseball record clear Sunday by whacking Butte Falls 12 to 3. It was the second league win for the Millers. After two week ends of play Glendale shares the loop lead with Ash land and Grants Pass.

Bills for Bill Bowerman Campaign Begun To Send' Oregon Coach To Olympics A "Bills for Bill" movement has been started here. Purpose is to obtain a large number of small donations to send Bill Bowerman. University of Ore gon track coach, to the Olympic Games in November at Mel bourne, Australia. The action here follows the move instituted in Portland by Omar C. (Slug) Palmer. Bower man, despite his work in "devel oping three great distance run ners, was overlooked by the U. S. Olympic committee in its as signments of coaches and the university reportedly cannot af ford to pay his expenses. Through his coaching here before taking over the Oregon post, Bowerman brought the Medford high Black Tornado to No. 1 prominence in track and field on the Oregon prep scene, a place the Tornado has kept under Bowerman's successor Bob Newland. Bowerman was a star athlete at both Medford high and U of O. A group of seven men have the campaign underway here. Dick Finch is treasurer. He will accept donations at Home Ap pliance company. Others of the group are Dr. Edwin Durno, Bill Barker, Newland, Tom Mac Leod, Everett McGraw and Otto Frohnmayer. Mrs, Bowerman. Too The plan as reported by L. H. Gregory, sports editor of the Portland Oregonian, is to send Bowerman and his wife, as well, to the Olympics. Total cost is $3,000. "This is a matter of state of Oregon pride and apprecia tion," Gregory declares. "In U.S. to Have History's Best Team San Francisco (U.PJ The United States is in the process of building the greatest track and field team in history, Harold Berliner, vice-chairman . of the Olympic Track and Field com mittee said today. While defeatists bewail the fact that Russia is going about the business of conditioning a team that could win the Olymp ics in Melbourne in December, Berliner isn't worried. "We won 16 out of 24 Gold Medals in track and field in 1952 Olympics at Helsinki," said Ber liner, "and this team appears to be shaping up as even stronger. "In 11 of the 24 events we are going to be stronger than we were in 1952; in 11 more I think we will be just as power ful; and in two events we may be a bit weaker." simple justice," he also states, "there can be no question that Bowerman should be at the games." Ken Reiser in the two-mile, Jim Bailey in the mile and Bill Dellinger in the mile and two mile are the three great per-dis-tance men who have developed under Bowerman along with other fine performers. The Portland effort is to col lect $1 or larger bill from any one who feels like giving. Greg ory reports that Eddie Hogan, golf pro at Portland's Riverside links, started the bills coming in with a substantial contribution.
