Braves' Buhl Beats Dodgers Again; Milwaukee Pulls Close To Redlegs STANDINGS PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE (By United Press) W. L. Pr. G1 Lo Angelw 60 38 .613 Seattle 58 38 .604 HoUvwood 51 43 .543 By MILTON RICHMAN UniUd Pru Sporti Writer Bob Buhl, a guy with the "In dian sign" on Brooklyn, fixed things today so that the Milwau kee Braves were giving Cincin nati the high sign that they're about ready to take over first place again in the National league. Buhl took care of matters this way: He defeated the Dodgers for the fifth straight time Thurs day night. 2-0, scattering six hits and pitching the Braves to with in four percentage points of the pace-setting Redlegs, who bowed to the Phillies, 7-4. Buhl's fine performance over the Dodgers earned him his 10th victory of the campaign just be- iore a thunderstorm washed out what was scheduled to be the second game of a twi-night doubleheader. Cut Redlegs' Lead Big Joe Adcock got the Braves started with his 13th home run in the fourth inning off Roger Craig his fifth off Dodger pitching and Milwaukee added an insurance run in the fifth wnen taaie Mathews singled "i Milwaukee's virtnrv rut a full game off Cincinnati's lead, the Redlegs falling victim to a five run rally by the Phillies in the ninth inning. Trailing Art Fowl er 3-2 until the ninth, the Phils fashioned their outburst wifh a two-run double by Marv Blay- jock and a two-run single by Elmer Valo. Southpaw Harvey Haddix, nicked for a two-run homer by Ed Bailey in the second inning, was credited with his seventh triumph. Long Pounds Homer Pittsburgh moved into fourth place by sweeping.a doublehead er from Chicago. 2-1 and 5-4. Ronnie Kline posted his eighth victory in the opener as Bill Virdon homered for one run and Dal Long and Jack Shepard each doubled for the other. Ernie Basks' 22nd home run accounted for the Cubs' lone run. Long's first home run in more than a month broke a 4-all tie in the eighth inning of the nightcap and gained reliever Elroy Face his seventh triumph. Long also tripled with the bases full of loser Sam Jones in the third in ning to drive in four runs in the finale. Al Dark and Don Liddle, two ex-Giants, teamed up to lead the Cardinals to a 5-3 decision over New York. Dark's sacrifice fly drove in the winning run while Liddle, who relieved starter Tom Poholsky, was credited with the victory. Stan Musial, Hank Thompson and Willie Mays each hit homers. Yanks Extend Lead In the American league, the Yankees lengthened their lead to 714 games largest margin of the year in beating the In dians, 9-5. while the Red Sox defeated the second-place White Sox, 3-1. Hank Bauer, who learned he was the father of an eight-pound, nine-ounce boy shortly after the game, delivered a pinch homer with the bases full, the first grand slam wallop of his career, to help Johnny Kucks nail down his 12th victory. Bauer's blow came off reliever Don Mossie and offset a three-run homer by Al Smith in the fourth. Jim Piersall's two-run homer in the ninth inniH gave the Red Sox their victory over the White Sox. Piersall's blow came off Jack Harshman, who had hom ered himself in the eighth to put Chicago ahead. Boston tied the score in the bottom of the eighth on Norm Zauchin's single and Billy Goodman's double. Leo Kiely was the winner in relief of Frank Sullivan. Tigers Down Senators Billy Hoeft pitched Detroit to a 4-2 victory over Washington with a neat four-hit effort. The Tigers hopped on loser Bob Wiesler for two runs in the first inning and then clinched mat ters with two more runs in the fourth. Jim Lemon homered for Washington. Left hander Bill Wight of Bal timore turned in his first shut out of the year In blanking Kan sas City, 4-0. Bob Nieman con tributed a three-run homer off Art Ditmar for the Orioles, who snapped a four-game losing streak and took their 10th game in 12 meetings with the Ath letics this season.

Coquille Drain Bend W. .. 5 ... 5 .. S . 6 ... 3 Prt .556 .500 J33 Two Cheney Studs baseballers have left for their homes in Cali fornia and Arizona. But the re turn of two squad members and the acquisition yesterday of a new infielder should make up for the loss as the Medford semi pro contingent fights this week end to keep its place at the front of the Southern Oregon league race. Outfielder and pitcher Terry Maddox and infielder Dick Toney are due back for the Studs' Saturday and Sunday three-game series at Coquille. Player Manager Jack Cooney and Business Manager Bill Ask with have negotiated the services of third baseman Jerry Betten dorf, ex-Drain player. Outfielder Jim Steffen has left for his home in California and all-around player Jim Taylor has returned to Flagstaff. Ariz. Both left for personal reasons. Medford was idle in the league last week end. The Studs main tained their knot for first nlace but did change company. Pre viously they shared the lead with Drain. Now Coquille and Coos Bay-North Bend are tied with the Studs. First Half Ends This week Medford plays Sat urday afternoon and night and Sunday afternoon at Coquille. Bend is at North Bend for sim ilar action. Drain has a bye. (Any one of the three leaders could have lone hold on first spot after this week end. And the fact that the Studs and Co quille are meeting each other means that one will be bounced from first place spot. Saturday and Sunday con flicts wind up the first half of the season. Manager Cooney said that he likely will call on Bob Selsor, Don White and Derald Wooton for pitching in the Logger se ries. He did not specify the order in which they may appear. Whether Frank Roelandt will be able to handle the catching duties is a question. A bone in his thumb was chipped last Sun day when the digit was struck by a ball. Roelandt may be able to wield a bat but the injury may hamper his throwing. He likely will go to Coquille but Tiger Bob Smith could get the backstop assignment. Three From Bend Cooney probably will be at first base with Toney at second and Twink Pederson at short- j5g stop. Third baseman may be Bet- tenaort or Bill Martell. Acquisi tion of the new man will make Martell available for outfield duty. Martell or Wooton could be in right field, John Kovenz in center and Terry Maddox in right. Coauille showed itself a tille contender by taking all three games from Bend last week end. Pitchers may be chosen for the Studs' series from among Jim Lehl, Dick Stephens, Runyan and Stafford. Pete Goodbrod with a hefty .516 is the only Logger batter hitting over .300 among players who have had consider able service. Medford enters the eame with a .236 stick average. Coauille trails in the league with .207. lhe btuds return to action at the fairgrounds here on Wednes day, July 18. when they play the Yreka Indians. Hill Climb For Cyclists This Sunday Rogue River Ramblers motor cycle club of Medford will be host Sunday, July 15, for hill climb competition on the Don Mentzer ranch just off Mud Springs rd.
