TEW MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Thursday. July 5. 19SB
Cleveland, Brooklyn Continue Torrid
Pace by Sweeping July 4 Doublebills
By MILTON RICHMAN ! Jim Hearn with a
United Press Sports Writer j burst.
I the old Fourth of July tra- St. Louis shelled Gene Conley
dition holds up, the Yankees willj from the mound with a five-run
meet the Braves in the world j rally in the seventh inning to de-
series this fall, but don't try to
sell that old chestnut to the on
rushing Dodgers and Indians.
The two clubs in first place
on the morning of July 5, so the
legend goes, are destined to face
ach other in the world 'series.
That would be the Yankees, who
lead the American league by 3 '.2
games today, and the Braves,
atop the National league by only
five percentage points.
Cleveland and Brooklyn, how
ever, are playing the best ball in
their respective leagues. As a
matter of fact, they were the
only clubs to sweep doublehead
ers Wednesday, the Indians
knocking over the Tigers twice,
6-4 and 3-1, and the Dodgers tak
ing a pair from the Giants, 15-2
and 6-1.
Tribe On Warpath
The Indians, with a five-game
winning streak, have won 14 of
their last 16 games and now are
only 4 ',i games out of first place.
The Dodgers have copped eight
of their last 11 games and are
only a half-game removed from
the lead.
Al Smith's two-run triple in
the ninth inning of the opener
provided young Herb Score with
his margin of victory in Cleve
land's opening victory although
Score needed relief from Cal
McLish when the Tigers rallied
for three runs in the last of the
ninth. Smith also drove in a pair
of runs in the nightcap as Early
Wynn hurled a four-hitter for
his ninth victory. The two de
feats stretched Detroit's home
losing streak to 14 games.
The Yankees split with the
Red Sox, losing the opener, 7-6,
when Jim Piersall singled home
the winning run off Tom Sturdi
vant in the 11th inning and win
ning the nightcap. 9-4, with a
14-hit barrage that included
homers by winning pitcher Don
Larson and Bill Skowron. Ted
Williams and Billy Martin each
homered in the first game, cred
ited to reliever Leo Kiely.
Pierce Wins Eighth
Southpaw Billy Pierce racked
p his eighth victory and his
13th of the season when he
pitched the White Sox to a 5-2
triumph over the Athletics in
the first game but Kansas City
capitalized on two errors to
score three runs off Gerry Sta-
ley in the first inning of the
nightcap and go on to win, 3-2.
Alex Kellner scored his sixth
victory although needing relief
from Art Ditmar and Bobby
Shantz.
Washington defeated Balti
more 10-8, in the opener, only
to drop a 7-4 decision to the
Orioles in the nightcap which
was called after six innings be
cause of rain. Senator owner
Calvin Griffith officially protest
ed the second game because he
felt plate Umpire Ed Hurley
failed to call the game soon
enough.
Lefty Chuck Stobbs registered
his seventh victory in the opener
as Jose Valdivielso homered and
Ed Yost collected three hits. Re
liever Don Ferrarese was the
winner in the nightcap when the
Orioles routed Hal Griggs and
Connie Grob with four runs in
the sixth. Yost homered for
Washington.
Giant Hurlers Pounded
The Dodgers pounded five
Giant pitchers for 18 hits, in
cluding homers by Roy Camp
anella and Duke Snider, in win
ning the opener. Don Newcombe
picked up his 10th victory al
though he gave way to Ed Roe
buck in the ninth. Lanky, 19-year-old
Don Drysdale was the
winner in the nightcap although
he, too. needed relief in the
ninth. The Dodgers, however,
clinched the game in the first
inning when they knocked out
feat Milwaukee, 6-4, in the open
er but Bobby Buhl's three-hit
pitching gave the Braves the
second game, 6-1. Ken Boyer hit
his 20th homer in the first game,
which Murrv Dickson won,
three-run ; second - place Cincinnati could
only manage a split against Chi
cago. The Cubs won the opener,
5-4, with the help of homers by
Ernie Banks and Walt Moryn,
while Brooks Lawrence reeled
off his 11th consecutive victory
without a defeat in pitching the
Red legs to a 4-3 triumph in the
nightcap.
Jim King drove in all of Chi'
while Hank Aaron slammed his 1 cago's runs in the second game
ninth homer for the Braves in
the finale'
Kluszewski Blasts Three
Ted Kluszewski hit three
home runs one in the opener
and two in Hip niehtcap but
with a pair of homers while
rookie Frank Robinson hit his
18th homer for Cincinnati. Klu
szewski's three homers gave him
a total of 20.

Bend Clips Studs 8-2
In Practice Tussle;
Tacdma Team Coming
Medford Cheney 'Studs today ' He yielded two hits but five of
followed up a holiday practice
game at Bend with preparations
for their week end "civil war"
semi-pro baseball series with
their Seattle-Tacoma counter
parts, the Washington Cheney
Studs.
The two Cheney Forest Pro
ducts aggregations contend at 8
p.m. Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sun
day at the fairgrounds ball yard
here. Medford, which has a bye
this week in the Southern Ore
gon League, will try to even the
score with the Washington which
won the two-fray stand here a
year ago.
. Two logger home runs and
almost a fourth and some fine
twirling by Bend pitcher Paul
Gehrman highlighted yesterday
afternoon's tussle as Bend won
8 to 2. Each club made it a "prac
tice" tangle. Each used a differ
ent pitcher each three innings.
Twelve Medford -players made
the central Oregon trip and all
played.
Bradshaw Homers
Kim Bradshaw slugged the
first homer for Bend. It was his
first hit of the year and came
in the fifth inning. Denny Lena-
burg had walked ahead of Brad
shaw so that two runs were pro
duced by the swat.
The sixth was the big inning
for Bend with four runs getting
home. Dan Luby got a base on
balls and was safe at second on
Ray Lunde's fielder's option rap.
Then Lenaburg homered. Brad
shaw got a base on balls and
Frank Zaniker tripled. Zaniker's
blow would have been a round
tripper but he forgot to touch
home plate.
Victim of the Bend heavy hit
ting was Bruce Fofette, pitcher
from Contra Costa junior col
lege getting a trial with the
Studs. He tossed the fourth, fifth
and sixth innings.
The Loggers got their other
off Stud starter Jim Kelly,
two runs in the opening canto
Chuck Christensen walked.
Maury Rasmussen doubled and
Larry Fivecoat singled. Bend
was blanked by hurler Derald
Wooton over the last three in
nings. Taylor Doubles
The Studs hopped on Fred
Sandren in the second inning for
their runs. Jack Cooney got on
base on an error, Bob Selsor got
a base on balls and Jim Taylor
drove them home with a two
base hit. Zaniker pitched the
middle innings for Bend and
Gehrman, ex-major leaguer, who
threw for "the Studs several
years ago, finished on the hill.
Scattered eight hits as the Phil
lies beat the Pirates, 4-2, in the
first of two games, but Pitts
burgh won the nightcap, 8-4.
Elmer Valo hit a pair of homers
for the Phils in the opener and
Marv Blaylock hit one. In the
nightcap, Blaylock, playing first,
base, made two errors on the
same play to help the Pirates
score six runs in the first in
ning. Reliever Roy Face was the
winner. Del Ennis homered for
Philadelphia.

outs. Bob Smith hit two for two and
Taylor two for four for Medford.
The loss was. Medford's fifth
against eight victories this sea
son. Medford has won four and
lost two in engagements with
the Loggers.
The Washington Cheney Studs
come to Medford with a record
showing that they will make a
strong bid to defend their stale
championship of the American
Baseball congress. They have 12
victories and four losses. One
triumph was by 3 to 1 over a
Washington team of brothers
which recently received nation
al recognition in Sports Illus
trated. New Players Strengthen
Several members of the Wash
ington team which downed Med
ford 9 to 2 and 8 to 6 in 1955
are on the current Cheney ros
ter. New players, it is felt, give
the crew more depth and
strength than it had last year.
New faces include Jack Brady,
a catcher, Brian Bell and Gary
Moore, pitchers: Don Jacobs, Jim
Harney, Pete Walski, and Jim
Yurina, infielders, and Dick Bin
ford, and Mel Manley, outfield
ers. All members of the squad
are considered promising young
ball players.
Brady is from University of
Washington, Bell, Moore, Yur
ina, Binford and Manley from
high schools of the Puget Sound
area. Jacobs is from Olympic
junior college, Harney from Se
attle university and Walski from
University of California.
Three Washington Studs
chuckers have received consid
erable recognition. Monte Geiger
was the most valuable player of
the northwest ABC tourney in
lya and George Kntsonis got
that honor in 1955. .Moore was
named the best player in this
year's Seattle-State prep all-star
doubleheader. He has pitched
seven no-hitters. Geiger was
named to the 1955 Pan Americah
games team and to an AAU club
which toured South Africa last
winter.

British Open
Tourney Led
By Smalldon
Hoylake, Eng. U.R) Dennis
Smalldon, 30-year-old Welshman
who clipped three strokes off
par Wednesday with a 68, led the
way into the second round of
the British Open golf champion
ship today as two of the four
American entries fought to
escape elimination.
Frank Stranahan, the muscu
lar millionaire from Toledo,
Ohio, paced the four Yanks
through the first circuit with a
one-over-par 72.
Ex-football player Mike Sou-
chak of Grossinger, N. Y., was
next among the Americans with
a 74, followed by one-time
champion Gene Sarazen of Har
rison, N. Y., and U. S. seniors
champion Peter Burke of Cold
Spring Harbor, N. Y., with 78's.
Sarazan and Burke were in grave
danger of being ousted when the
field is cut to the top 50 players
after today's round.
Smalldon's opening-round 68
equalled the course record over
the long, bunkered Hoylake lay
out, set in a qualifying round by
Gary Player of South Africa.
In second place, one stroke be
hind at 69, was Enrique Berto-
lmo of Argentina.
