Haney Concentrates Braves' Vengeance Against Old Bosse Power on s from Pa. Tuesday, July 17. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINB By CARL LUNDQUIST United Press Sporti Writer I'recl Hincy's '"7-1 1 " winnine utrcaks as the new manager of the Milwaukee Braves were making them a hot pennant bet today and giving him revenge azainst the Pittsburgh Pirate?, who fired him. Haney quickly ran up a 5e'.en game winning streak when hij Braves came home to Milwaukee for a long stand ayainst the east ern teams, knocking off the Dodgers four in a row and the Pirates three straight, including Monday's 2-1 triumph. That kept them two full games ahead of second place Cincinnati. And when Haney inherited the job as Milwaukee manager, succeeding not so jolly Cholly Grimm, the Braves whizzed to a spectacular 11-game streak. In that one, the fir;t two triumphs were over the Dodgers and the next three against Pittsburgh. To moit men. getting fired as manager of the Pirates would be like a parole from a prison sen tence, but right now Haney seems to be making practically a federal case of his revenge. Buhl Winning Hurler Monday. Haney's zanies gained another fine pitching job from Bob Buhl, who walked nobody, struck nut four and scattered seven hits for his 11th victory. Hank Aaron lined a center field j hon.cr for the victory margin against lo.-er Ronnie Kline. Ear ilicr. Frank Thomas homered to spoil E-;hr shutout. ! The Phillies, capitalizing on a western tour, won tiieir sixth ' g;me in tr.e la.-, seven at St. 1 Louis, defeating tiie Cardinals 2-0 on the seven-hit pitching of ! lefty Harvey Haddix. It was the I third time Haddix had beaten I the Cardinals since General Man i aser Frank Lane traded him I away to Philadelphia. Haddix now has a 7-3 mark with the Phils and is 8-3 for the season. , He struck out eight Cards and walked but one. Doubles by Richie Ashburn and Marv Blay lock drove in the two lone runs. At Cincinnati, Gus Bell, Ed Bailey and Frank Robinson hit homers to give the Redlegs an easy 1 0-4 decision over the Gi ants, who lost their seventh Broadcasters Top Bidders For Tigers By Lloyd Northard United Press Sports Writer Detroit (U.R The 11-man group headed by broadcasters Fred Knorr and John Fetzer to day was hailed as the winning bidder for the Detroit Tigers, hut the real winner may have been "Spike" Briggs. After Walter O. "Spike" Briggs Jr. announced the Tiger board of directors had accepted the Knorr-Fetzer proposal of a record So, 500. 000, Knorr an nounced Briggs would be the executive vice president of the ihib This was a triumph for the yon of the late Tiger owner Wal ter O. Briggs Sr., and Spike, who has been determined to st.iy with the club and continue his father's policies, admitted it. Asked if he thought the Briggs' estate trustees would up hold the selection of the Knorr Fetzer group's bid. Briggs said. " I won this one, let's wait and gee." The Knorr-Fetzer winning bid calls for payment of $4,600,000 cash. SI. 000, 000 of this to be pair! by Aug. 1, and the remain ing S300.000 to be paid off in at least five years at four per cent interest. Knorr had also made a bid of S5.000.000 cash for the club, but this was topped by three other cash bids. Groups which offered more immediate cash were headed by Bill Veeck, S5.250.000; Jack Kent Cooke, Toronto, So, 180, 000; and Holly wood producer Robert Gold stein, S3. 050, 000. Xorie of the other three groups had plans for putting Spike Briggs in a top, policy making position. Knorr, an old friend of Briggs, said Spike would be in such a position if he was the winning bidder. Cade Blanks Emeralds By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer Jerry Cade seems to be a gem of a pitcher when he's out there against the Eugene Emeralds. Cade blanked the Emeralds for the second time in a row last night as he hurled Salem to a 7-0 victory in Northwest league play. Cade fanned 12 and was in command all the way as he pick ed up his sixth victory of the year. Eugene got but four hits off his deliveries and all were singles. Salem got two runs in the first frame and Frank Sezukla got the Senators four more in the sixth with a bases-loaded homer. Salem added one more in thp seventh. Wenatchee tamed Yakima 4-3 on a somewhat unspectacular but useful run in the fifth. Bob Dur etto opened with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice fly and scored on Phil Marvier's sacri fice fly. Yakima got three runs in the third on Roy Nixon's bases-loaded double but Wenatchee scored two in the first, one in the third and pushed across the decider in the fifth. Spokane continued to surprise. The Indians went up against Tri City at Kennewick and turned in a 4-3 decision over the Braves to continue in first place. The decision gives the Indians a mark of four victories and one defeat. STANDINGS NATIONAL LEACI'K W. I.. P'l.

By ED FITE United Press Sports Writer Dallas, Tex. 'U.R Boston Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey has spent millions for baseball talent, but one of the classiest looking Sox farm hands in these paits is a pint-sized outfielder who cost millionaire Yawkey two pairs of baseball shoes. He is Albie Person, who looks more like the batboy of the Oklahoma City Indians than he does the Texas League's third leading hitter and one of its top defensive flychasers. Pearson is a product of El Monte High in Alhambra. Calif., the same school which spawned the Yankees' Tom Morgan, and like Morgan he was a star pitcher in his schoolboy days. But, the wiry little southpaw never did get a change to pitch when he broke into organized baseball under Red Marion at San Jose after being signed by Red Sox Scout Tom Downey. The club was shy an outfielder and the five foot, six inch P, ear son persuaded Marion he could play the outfield, too. So into the lineup he went, getting four hits each of the first two nights. He's been an outfielder ever since. Only three years out of high j school, the 20-year-old Albie is ! on the fourth rung of a climb up . the ladder to what looms as a ' berth in the Fenway Park out field. j He hit .334 at San Jose and was promoted to Albany, where i marriage and other factors cut I his plate efficiency to .270. But. j he moved on to Montgomery of j the Sally League last year and 'hit .306. He was hitting above .300 with San Francisco this season when the Red Sox sent Mary Keogh to the Seals, forcing Pearson back . to Class AA ball with Oklahoma City. He's been the shining light on a tail-end ball club there. In addition to playing brilliantly afield, he's rapped the ball at a .338 clip with a fair share of home runs and triples mingled with his singles and doubles. Manager Red Davis of the league-1 e a d i n g Dallas Eagles echoes the sentiments of his con temporaries when he says: "The little guy is hard to pitch to because of his size, but he has a lot of power for a 135-pounder. He hits to all fields, but also can pull pretty good, too, if he wants to. He won't take too many walks' because he's a swinger and likes to cut at the ball all the time." Ashlander Top Cyclist Slant artist John Wenker of Ashland won the motorcycle hill climb sponsored by the Rogue River Ramblers on the Don Ment zer ranch in Phoenix Sunday. Zenker's first try at the hill gave him the day's best time of 9.3 seconds. Each of the other 15 contestants took two more rides up the hill but none suc ceeded in bettering Wenker's first. Second place went to Donnie Hood of Grants Pass with 9.4 seconds. Both Wenker and Hood were awarded trophies. Clubs were entered from Klamath Falls. Crescent City, Rogue Riv er, Grants Pass, Ashland and Medford. Dead line Sunday Classified Is .-it noon Saturday: 10 a m Monday lor Monday; other davs 5:30 previous day. FISHERMEN!
