Yesterday's decision gave Medford a sweep of a two-game series with the Loggers of cen tral Oregon. The Studs took the opener Saturday night 16 to 0 on sparkling two-hit pitching by Don White and heavy slug ging led by Outfielder John Ko venz, Third Baseman Bob Selsor and Roelandt.

He batted in a run with a double and another with a single and his sacrifice flyout allowed an other to score. 1 The Studs blasted out 11 hits altogether in the Sunday mix with Kovenz and Derald Wooten each getting two for four to go wtih Roelandt's three for three.

Kelly gave four passes to the bases, all in the final inning, and whiffed five batters in 4 23 frames. Frank Zaniker of Bend yield ed four hits and five walks, hit a batter and was responsible for six runs in three innings. The Studs got seven hits off Logger relief man Lowell Pearce, who walked only one man over five panels. Whites pitching was the fea ture of the Saturday night en gagement. He struck out 14 bat ters, walked seven and hit one in the shut out. The Roseburg high tutor was seldom in any difficuHy and was backed by fine fielding, a characteristic of both games for the Studs. Kovens 3 for S Along with White's outstand ing work on the mound, Kovenz hit three for five, Selsor two for four and Roelandt two for five. Roelandt and Kovenz each drove in three runs and Selsor and Terry Maddox two apiece. Nine Bend errors and eight walks issued by Logger tossers Frend Sandren and Ray Lunde helped out the Studs. . Yesterday Medford got two first inning runs on three walks Nine Plays Tuesday second letter at GP high as a sophomore. Scott Tibbets may be the catcher with Pete Proctor at first base, Dick Hayes at second, Chuck Lasher at third and Rich ie Condray at shortstop. Fred Marshall, Dennis Eck stein and Don Jaquette are pos sible outfielders. Cochell is an outfielder when not pitching. Jim Smith, the team's other first line hurler, chucked the Myrtle Creek game last Friday. Other boys on the GP squad are Gary Honeycutt, Bill Palmroth and Ron Caudill. Herrman May Pitch Fred Herrmann, from Crater high, likely will be the pitcher Tuesday for the Medford-CP team. Ernie Tyler, from the Med ford high staff,- is on a trip. Henry Putney, who tossed a one- hitter at Roseburg on Friday, has moved to Beaverton. Wayne Allen, a pitcher and infielder at Crater this spring as a freshman, may see pitching duty for the Legion nine, particularly while Tyler is absent. Dick McLough lin, the club's regular catcher, pitched a couple of games for Medford high this spring. Allen went in at third, base when Jim Putney suffered a bro ken nose from a hit ball on Fri day. It's possible he could be at the position for the Tuesday mix. Dennis King, may b at first base, Gordon Owsley at short stop and Larry Perkins at sec ond base. Eldon Francis and Ron Peery are probabilities in two of the outfield spots. Coach John Kovenz and Jack Sides are still urging turnout of addition players for the Med-ford-Central Point squad.

N.Y.. and Caspar Ortega of Mexicali, Mex., are at "even money" in the betting for to night's TV 10-rounder at SL Nicholas Arena.

Successive dou Rainiers Move Near Top in Coast Loop By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer The Seattle Rainiers, with Joe Taylor waving a deadly bat, hammered on the door to first place in the Pacific .Coast league race today and apparently had a cinch series coming up with fad ing San Francisco. Manager Luke Sewell's Suds moved to within half a game of first place Los- Angeles Sunday night as they swept a twin bill from Sacramento, 3-1 and 9-3, Easterners Aim At Big Track Title By DON REED United Press Sports Writer Sanger, Calif. (U.R) A glit tering eastern track contingent will continue its running and jumping dispute' of West Coast track supremeacy this weekend at Berkeley, Calif., as collegians from all over the country con vene for the NCAA track and field championships. Dave Sime, the raw-boned. red-haired comet from Duke University will attract most of the attention. Sime is presently waging the most concerted as sault on sprint records of any athlete since fabulous Jesse Owens. ' Last Saturday night at the Central California AAU track and field championships, Sime's young career reached a new high point as he smashed the world's record in the 220 yard dash with a blistering 20 seconds flat. Minutes earlier he tied the 9.3 second standard in the 100 yard dash for the third time a feat which is becoming standard procedure for the sizzling soph omore. Add to all of this Sime's world mark of 22.2 seconds in the 220 yard low hurdles and you have a fourth dimensional view of America's top Olympic prospect. The fact that he is only 19 years old removes any foreseeable limits to his potential. Sime was not the only invad ing beige gun to make his pres ence felt Saturday night. Team mate Joel Shankle turned in a respectable 13.7 second time in the high hurdles but it was a losing effort. Veteran Jack Davis, now a lieutenant jg at the San Diego Naval Training Cen ter, tied the world's record in 13.5 seconds. Davis has his di ploma though, and won't com pete at Berkeley. Villanova's Don Bragg con tinued his mastery over West Coast pole vaulters with a 15 foot leap and teammate Charley Jenkins copped the 440-yard run in 46.9 seconds. To little Mike Agostini of Trinidad and Fresno State goes an assist in Sime's dazzling ef forts. Agostini, a fast starter, threatened just enough in the 100 and. 220 to push Sime to ex ertion. Agostini's times were 9.4 and 20.4 respectively very good indeed. DAHLBENDER WINS Johnstown, Pa. (U.R) Gene Dahlbender of Atlanta won the Sunnehanna amateur golf tour nament with a 276 total for 72 holes. who sprained his ankle while training. - Gaspar has had more experi ence than 24-year-old Poirier, whose 15-4-3 record includes only six knockouts. Ortega's 32-7-0 list includes 15 kayoes and he never was stopped, joi ner was stopped tnree times. W 9 WHERE WOULD AT THE -KXJ Hfc It- 1 1 POOL AMD WASNT FORME? CIU8- . DADOOMIT , bles by Maddox and Roelandt tallied a run in the seventh in ning. An error and a walk load ed the bases and Roelandt scored after the catch of Twink Pederson's fly to center field. Droscher threw three innings of effective ball in the Sunday fray but in the fourth he was tagged for a hit by Maury Ras mussen and walked three men to force a run across. In the fifth he gave up a hit to Denny Lena burg and three walks to let in after the Angels had split a wild doubleheader with San Diego. The Angels won the first, 11-8, in 10 innings and San Diego took the walkout, 8-3. Taylor drove in five runs for Seattle in the nightcap, two with a homer, two with a double and a fifth with another double. His hitting helped Howie Judson win his fourth game of the cam paign. Earl Harrist left in the second inning with the loss. Singleton Wins Ninth Sewell also got plenty of mile age out of Elmer Singleton, who went the route in the opener to record his ninth win of the sea son and seventh in a row. A three-run burst in the third frame, which cost Roger Osen baugh his fifth defeat, sewed things up for Elirfer. In other games, Hollywood won its eighth straight, beating Portland 6-5 in a single contest while Vancouver swept two from San Francisco, 7-6 and 6-5. The first Angel-Padre contest tunvd into a slugfest with 30 hits going into the books while a total of nine hurlers saw ac tion. Los Angeles sewed it up with a three run blast in the 10th frame. Bob Speake singled in one run and a two run double by ageless Piper Davis account ed for the other pair. Dave Hill- man was credited with his sixth win. Tom Herrera was charted with his third defeat. Eddie Kazak and Joe Astroth each cracked two-run homers in the nightcap to spark the Padre win. Cliff Ross, although der ricked in the fifth when he lost his control, got the win and Harry Perkowski the defeat. Allie Homer Wins Hollywood also won in the last inning, collecting three runs in the ninth frame to. offset a similar burst by Portland which nad given the Beavers a 5-4 lead. Gair Allie won it with a bases empty home run just after Joe Duhem had smashed a round tripper with R. C. Stevens aboard to knot the count. George O'Donnell won his third at the expense of Rene Valdes. The lowly Vancouver Moun ties hauled San Francisco down into seventh place by sweeping their twin bill. Rinold Duren staggered the distance to win the opener. Jack Osborn, who had a one hitter going into the seventh inning, took his seventh loss. The Mounties won the second contest with a three run rally in the seventh. THE I.INESCORES: 1st game SeatUe 003 000 0 3 5 1 Sacramento 100 000 0 1 6 1 Singleton and Orteig; Osenbaugh, R.
