TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON)
Roberts Loses 4th Straight
White Sox Turn Back Yankees
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sport WritK
Robin Roberts is being belted
around like a batting practice
pitcher these days but don't bet
too much that he'll fail to make
20 victories for the seventh
straight season.
Roberts was knocked out of
the box in the fourth inning
Wednesday night when the Mil
waukee Braves beat the Phila
delphia Phillies. 8-6. The loss
was Robin's fourth straight and
left him with a 5-8 season's
record.
An ordinary pitcher wouldn t
have much chance of reaching
the 20-mark if he were saddled
with that record on this date.
But Roberts is no ordinary pitch
er and he's won 20 in past sea
sons when his record wasn't
much better on June 14 than it
is now.
In 1954, for example, he was
only 7-7 on June 14. yet finish
ed with a 23-15 record, and in
1952, he was only 7-5 on June
14 but closed with a 21-2 burst
for a season record of 28-7. In
1950 he had eight victories, in
1951 and 1955 he had nine and
in 1953 had posted 10 victories
each time going on, of course,
to win 20 or more.
Taqged for Nina Hits
In the meantime, however, it's
mighty frustrating for the last-
place Phillies to see their $50,-
000-a-year pitcher Ian to win
in four tries since May 24. He
was tagged for nine hits and six
earned runs in 3 1-3 innings
Wednesday night to send his
earned run average soaring to
5.04.
Roberts held the Braves to a
single run through the first three
frames but they broke loose from
a 13-game hitting slump en masse
in the fourth with a barrage that
included a three-run homer by
Del Crandall. a two-run homer
by Ed Mathews and triples by
Danny O'Connell and Johnny
Logan. O'Connell also connect
ed for two triples to tie the
ingle game record held by 15
players.
Five unearned runs enabled
the Chicago Cubs to beat the
New York Giants, 6-5, in the
other National League game.
Bob Rush won his sixth game
for the Cubs, still streaking with
10 wins in 13 games. Willie
Mays drove in three runs with
two homers for the Giants.
In the American League, the
Chicago White Sox finally beat
the New York Yankees after
six straight losses when Ron
Northcy and Luis Aparicio
drove ih three runs each in a
7-5 triumph. Larry JJoby also
contributed his first homer of
the year to the White Sox' 10
hit attack that routed Bob Tur
ley and brought veteran Howie
Pollet his third win.
Makes Sparkling Debut
Billy Loes, acquired last
month from the Brooklyn Dodg
ers, made a sensational six-inning
debut for the Baltimore
Orioles but it went for naught
when the Detroit Tigers beat re
lief pitcher George Zuverink, 2-0
on a ninth-inning homer by
Charley Maxwell. Paul Foytack
and Steve Gromek collaborated
in the shutout for the Tigers.
Loes. an eccentric right-hander
with brilliant stuff, yielded
only one hit and one walk in six
innings and struck out five Ti
gers. He was taken out by Man
ager Paul Richards because of
the 98-degree temperature in
Baltimore.
Vic Power and Tim Thomp
son collected five hits each to
lead the Kansas City Athletics
to a 21-hit. 13-4 romp over the
Giants Part
With Al Dark
St Louis U.R) The St. Louis
Cardinals today announced an
eight-player deal with the New
York Giants involving two of
the top infielders in the Nation-1
al league. Red Schoendienst and ;
Al Dark. , I
In addition to Schoendienst,
the Cardinals traded rookie out-1
fielder Jackie Brandt, catcher
Bill Sarni and pitcher Dick Lit
tlefield to the Giants for Dark,
first baseman-outfielder Whitey
Lockman. catcher Ray Katt and
pitcher Don Liddle.
There was no cash involved
in the transaction.
General Manager Frank Lane
said he expected the deal would
put the Cards in the thick of
the pennant fight.
Portland Man, Wife
Found Dead in Home
Portland iU.R! A 50-year-old
man and his wife were found
shot to death in their Portland
home yesterday, apparently the
victims of a murder-suicide.
Police identified the victims
as Albert McGee and his wife,
Mildred.
Mrs. McGee's body was found
on the kitchen floor of the mod
est northeast Portland home.
McGee's body was discovered in
a bedroom. He apparently had
shot himself in the mouth after
taking his wife's life, police said.
MAIL TRIBUNE
Washington Senators. Gus Zer
nial and 'Hector Lopez added
homers to the KC blitz which
enabled Art Ditmar to win his
sixth game.
The Cleveland Indians and
Boston Red Sox battled three
hours and 52 minutes in 97-de-gree
heat to an 11-inning rain
halted 8-8 tie. The deadlock had
existed since the fourth inning
when the Indians scored four
runs with the aid of a three
run homer by Vic Wertz. Wertz
also homered in the first and
drove in five runs.

Drain led the league last year,
losing only two or three en
counters out of the scheduled
24.
One of the big threats from
the northern team rests in the
pitching arm of Glenn Elliott.
former Portland Beaver hurler
in the Pacific Coast league. Be
fore his career with the Beavers.
Elliott pitched for the old Boston
Braves.
In pre-season non-league play
this year Drain beat McMinn-
ville twice, and smashed the
Bashor Babes of Portland. Their
only loss came from a split
doubleheader with Beaverton of
the Portland city league.
The Medford nine will prob
ably open Saturday afternoon's
game with Don White on the
mound. White shut out the Bend
Loggers here last Saturday with
a two -hitter. Manager Jack
Cooney's other pitchers for
Saturday night and Sunday after
noon tussles will be chosen from
Jerry Droscher, Jim Kelly, and
Bob Selsor.
Game times Saturday are 1:45

Giambra
Anxious For
Title Bout
Syracuse, N.Y. !U.R) Jolting
Joey Giambra, who displayed
new aggressiveness while beat
ing England's Johnny Sullivan
again on television Wednesday
night, asked today for a "spring
board" to the middleweight
crown.
"Get me Gene Fullmer or Ti
ger Jones or any top 'man who
can bounce me toward a title
fight," he told Promoter Nor
man Rothschild. ,
Giambra, the d a r k-haired
sharpshooter from Buffalo, N.Y.,
said his second straight unani
mous decision over ex-British
champion Sullivan at War Me
morial Auditorium should com
plete their Anglo-American com
petition. The 23-year-old Sullivan' did
the forcing in their previous
bout in the same ring on April
6, when Giambra also took a
unaniomus verdict despite his
strictly "layback tactics."
Giambra, scaling 156 pounds
to English Johnny's 1591?, did
tne forcing Wednesday night;
but it was his solid left counter
hooks to the head that did the
most damage. Those and his
whistling right leads.
The three .ring officials fa
vored Giambra on a rounds ba
sis, 6-4, 6-3-1 and 5-4-1; which
was not much different from the
5-4-1, 5-4-1, 6-3-1 on April 6.

Columbia River
Dikes Holding
Portland '.U.R) Two trouble
spots on a dike protecting Port
land Meadows racetrack from
floodwaters continued to hold
today.
Men working in round-the-clock
shifts maintained a con
stant vigil on the levee which
has been a cause of concern
since Sunday. The dike develop
ed a crack Tuesday and a 10
foot section sank about five feet
yesterday.
Heavy rain fell during the
early morning hours here, add
ing to worries about water-logged
dikes but river forecasters
said it would have little effect
on stream levels. The Columbia
at Vancouver, Wash., dropped
another .4 of a foot in the 24
hour endings at 8 a.m. today and
was down to 24.9, which is 9.9
feet over flood stage. A con
tinued fall was predicted.
The Morrison street bridge
here, closed to traffic because
of high water for nearly two
weeks, was re-opened yesterday.
An Air Force spokesman said
that jet fighter planes, moved
two weeks ago because of the
flood threat, probably would re
turn here from McChord Field,
Wash., tomorrow.

The comeback Hollywood
Stars swaggered into the Pac
ific Coast league's first division
last night but the Los Angeles
Angels, who haven't been any

The Angels accomplished this

San Diego Pardes by dumping
the Pads 3-2 in a single game.
