There is a gnawing fear mong National League mana gers that if the Redlegs acquire just a little more pitching they can suddenly turn the wild pen nant scramble into a cake-walk. With Klippstein clicking that could be the difference. Monday night in a showdown battle with Milwaukee for first place, Cincinnati's sluggers for the most part were silenced. The only homer was by Milwaukee's Bobby Thomson. But Klippstein, turning in his tiest performance in almost a month, held Milwaukee to eight hits and struck out six anclud ins two when the Braves threat ened in the ninth, and genuinely earned his 2-1 tnumpn. Gus Bell, the All-Star center fielder, drove in one of Cincm nati's runs with a single and the other scored on a fumble oy ihirA Kaspman Thomson after Bell had set up the rally with a single.

The Cubs got steady scatter hit pitching from Warren Hack er to defeat the Cardinals 6-3. Hacker yielded 11 hits, at least cne in every inning but the eighth. Don Hoak and Gene Baker collected three hits each for the Cubs. Hal Smith hit a St. Louis homer. Chisox Beat Tigers In the American League the White Sox utilized four Detroit errors to score seven unearned runs, coming from behind for a 9-3 triumph that put them with in 3'i games of the idle top-dog Yankees. Two runs scored when Fanfare Bill Bowerman, University of Oregon track mentor, has asked that no more contributions be made to send him to the Olympic games at Melbourne, Australia, in November. Bowerman, ex- Medford high school athlete and coach, stated that he has been "flattered but embarrassed" by the "Bills for Bill" movement in stituted by his friends and track enthusiasts in Oregon. "I want the thing stopped," he asserted. He pointed out that he appre ciated all that has been done for him. This writer telephoned Bower man yesterday to check a report that Bowerman had said he couldn't and wouldn't be going to the Olympics despite the funds being raised. The U of O cinder tutor and grants-in-aid administrator said that he defi nitely will make ihe trip. He'll travel with a group of coaches. Bowerman said his wife prob ably will not go that she does not feel she should go and leave the Bowermans' three sons at home. i A good number of track fans in this state share the feeling that the University of Oregon coach was overlooked when it came to appointing coaches for the Olympic team. EUGENE MEET SEEN Bowerman said yesterday ihal it is "pretty certain" that members of the United States Olympic track squad will be brought to Eugene for a meet on September 3. Purpose of the meet would be to help keep them in shape for the Austra lian action. A pair of ex-Medford high youths. Ed Bingham and Jack Moad, may be among those competing against Olympic squad members. B i n g h a m, javelin thrower, and Moad. shot putter, are students of U of O. Bowerman said that he hoped ihe two would be in shape to perform. Don Spinas. ex-Medford. who was grad uated from the university this spring, could be another com petitor. He's a hurdler and quarter-miler.

McCULLOUGH MARRIED Eddie McCullough, graduate of Medford high in 1955 after lettering in three sports and an infielder for the Medford Cheney Studs last summer, is not playing semi-pro baseball this summer. Eddie, who at tended Anderson college, An derson. Ind.. during the past year, married the former Janie McGillen of Anderson on June 10 and is working in a bakery in that city. He plans to con tinue his studies at the col lege in "the fall and hopes to get back into semi-pro baseball next summer. He is majoring in theology and is carrying a business administration minor. Americans Falter in British Open Hoylake, Eng. (U.R) There was a strong chance today that most of the 10 Americans and perhaps all might be eliminated from the British Open Golf Championship by failing to qual ify with respectable cards in two days of medal play. The top score for an American Monday was turned in by an unknown GI stationed in Europe, Lt. Gene Eyler of Buffalo, N.Y., and his five over par 76 wasn't exactly spectacular. Moreover, the chief American hope, Mike Souchak of Grossing er,' N.Y., had all the trquble he had anticipated and more when the strong winds at the difficult Hoylake course played hob with his game and he had to settle for a saven over par 78. Contrasting with these studies in mediocrity was the brilliance of a 21-year-old kid from South Africa, Gary Player, who strode around windy old Hoylake as it it were a miniature pitch-putt course and turned in a record three under par 68. Three U.S. swingers, Gene Sarazen of Harrison, N.Y., Peter Burke of Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., and Joe Golden of Austin, Tex., had 77 cards, while veteran Frankie Stranahan, the Toledo torpedo, and Richard Hessemer of Houston, Tex., joined Souchak at the 78 level. Errie Ball of Oak Park, 111., was at 79, and Lionel Noah of New Canaan, Conn., shot an 82. Souchak, Sacazen, Ball Zvalo, Stranahan and Hessemer, had one consoling thought as they teed off today. They played this time on the easier nearby Wal lasey course. Even though it also has a par of 71 it is con siderably shorter and the wind currents are not so disrupting to fairway blasts.

OPPOSES MEDFORD CHENEY V INE Monte Geiger, above, may have the chance this Saturday night or Sunday afternoon to try for a second victory over the Medford Cheney Studs baseball club. A pitcher and outfielder for the Washington Cheney Studs, he'll be here with the Seattle-Tacoma crew for a two-game "civil war" semi-pro series.

Washington Studs Have 2 Players Who Toured Africa on AAU Squad The Washington Cheney Studs baseball squad which comes here for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon games this week end with the Medford Cheney Studs includes two or three Studs' players who toured South Africa during the past winter.

The three were chosen from among 25,000 applicants. Information from Tacoma, Wash, is that the three Studs acquitted themselves well as they helped promote baseball and good will. Geiger is a six-foot 2-inch 195 pounder who attends the Uni versity of Washington. Dodge, 6-112 and 175 attends University of Oregon. Their trip lost them a season of college eligibility.
