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

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.

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

Glendale kept its Rogue Val
ley League baseball record clear
Sunday by whacking Butte Falls
12 to 3. It was the second league

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.
