1 Cincinnati's muscle-men look
ed more menacing than ever to
day from their first piace perch
In the National League race be
cause right-handed pitching star
Johnny Klippstein apparently is
back on the beam.
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 third place Dodgers lost
ground when the Giants scored
a 5-2 triumph on the strength
of homers by Willie Mays and

and Bill White. Allan WortHing

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

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. Geiger gave up three hits last year in a 9 to 2

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 two are Monte Geiger,
pitcher and outfielder, and Ron
Dodge, first baseman and
catcher.
They and Dick Naish, an in
fielder of the 1955 Washington
champs, were members of a 25
man Amateur Athletic union
squad which played a 33-game
schedule. 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.

gers will be a non-counter for
the two Southern Oregon Base

Cooney indicated that he will

"It's a good opportunity to
give the reserves a chance to see
what they can do. We may need
them later on, too," the skipper
said. He also declared that the
players who haven't had much
chance to play in the loop tussle,
deserved a chance to see action.

Jim Kelly may be the start

Frank Roelandt is the probable
opening catcher. Cooney likely
will be at first base. Bill Mar
tell probably will be at second
base since Dick Toney is out of
action with a spike wound in his

third, Martell's regular spot.
Twink Pederson is expected to
be at shortstop.
Players Praised
