"How could anyone call this a course?" Even so, Snead, who said an old Injury to his left hand no longer bothered him, admitted that "if I putt okay, I should be all right."

' tfc'Vi 4 ft 8LENOED WHISKCy J V '4 A. i Sa-- How does KessEes4 do if ? D It's one thing to produce a fine whiskey when price is no object . . . but to produce a whiskey that's smooth as KESSLER at the price of KESSLER that takes generations of experience. In fact it's a feat only KESSLER can boast. Sisler, son of George Sisler who gained baseball immortality with the St. Louis Browns in an other era, banged out five for five including a three run homer and drove in five runs as the San Diego Padres flattened Van couver 17-2. It's been the same sad story all year for the Pads mired deep in seventh place in "the Pacific Coast league good hit, but no pitch. With Sisler and Eddie Kazak leading the way they rattled off 20 hits and all Eddie Erautt had to do was get the ball over as the Padres rolled to their lop sided win. Angels Take Thriller Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Angels edged San Francisco 9-8 in a 10-inning thriller to pick up another game over Seattle, which bowed to Sacramento 6-1. Portland nipped Hollywood 6-5 in the circuit's other contest. Sisler's output included two doubles and two singles to go with his round-tripper. He shared hitting honors with Kazak who drove in four runs with a home rurj and two singles and with slugging Rocky Colavito with a triple among his three hits. San Francisco fought back twice to knot the score in the eighth and ninth only to bow to the Angels' power in the 10th. The key blows in the frame were long doubles by Jim Bolger and Bob Speake. Bolger earlier unloaded his 19th homer of the campaign with two aboard. Gale Wade of the Angels and Frank Malzone of the Seals also smashed round trippers. Seattle fell to 2' 4 games off the pace as aging Gene Bearden limited the Rainiers to six hits to break a five game Sacramento losing streak. Heavy Hitters Harry Bright belted two doubles and W'ally Westlake hit the left field light tower for a home run to lead an 11-hit Solon attack. Nippy Jones with three singles drove in half Sacra mento's run output. Portland's Luis M a r q u e z scored the tieing run in the eighth and then pushed in the winning tally in the ninth to hand ace Hollywood reliefer George O'Donnell his second loss of the year against eight wins. Jack Littrell connected for his eighth homer in the fourth get ting the Beavers an early lead. Philadelphia Chicaeo New York .... Thursday's Results Chicaeo 4. Philadelphia 3 Milwaukee 13.

Ted Allen of Boulder, Colo., defending champion; Ferando Isais of Los Angeles, seven times holder of the national title; Vir gil Taylor of Green Castle, Ind.; Don Titcomb of Sunnyvale, Calif., and Truman Standard of Canton, 111., were the five tied for top honors. The tourney A round-robin affair continues through July 24. In the annual election of of ficers yesterday, Sam Somer holder of Nebraska, Cletus Chappele of Portland. Ore., Ray Ohms of Salt Lake City and Elois Standard of Illinois were elected vice presidents. Extra base blows have rained aplenty this season in the semi pro Southern Oregon Baseball league and some of the hardest, heaviest swatting of this year's loop activity at the fairgrounds park here may be seen this week end when the Medford Cheney Studs open the second half of play by hosting the Drain Black Sox. A two-day three-game series is on tap. Scraps between Med ford's current league leaders and Drain's defending titlists are billed for 2 and 8 p.m. on Satur day and for 2 p.m. on Sunday on the Studs' home diamond. All respect is due to the Med ford chucking staff, which has been doing a capable job. But the Medford twirlers will be up against the heaviest hitting ak gregation of the circuit when they face the Black Sox. Drain boasts a .273 team batting aver age to top the loop in that de partment for half the season. Vets Set Pace Setting the pace for the Sox have been a trio of veterans, Pat Wohlers, Bill Beard and Don Kirsch. Wohlers, ex-University of Oregon, who has been with the Drain club a good number of seasons, heads the club with a .394 mark in 12 league games. Beard, ex-Portland Beaver, one time Salem manager in the Western International circuit and a Sox oldtimer, is next with .356. Don Kirsch, U of O base ball mentor, is the other leader with .324. A fourth player, pitcher Bill Croco, has a .385 average but has only 13 turns at bat. Medford's offensive record as a team in comparison to Drain's is .226 and catcher Frank Roe landt is the only one among those who have played the most to be hitting over .300. His mark is .324, and outfielder John Ko venz is just a shade under .300 with .298. However, there's power in the Stud lineup which can make up for the number of hits by club bing for extra bases and the Medfordites have been getting their share of those blows. And the return of Terry Maddox to the Studs shows signs of inject ing more hitting into the Med ford games. Playing in his first league series at Coquille last week end. Maddox hit safely seven times in 15 times up for a bulging .467 average. Par in Strength Drain, which romped away with the honors in the SOL last season, hasn't been doing it this year. The Sox are tied with Coos Bay-North Bend and Co quille in second place one game behind the Studs. But the Doug las county club is still a potent contingent. It's just that the other clubs in the tightly bunched race are on par in strength with the Sox this sea son. The parity in power, the Studs' high craving for victory over the Sox and the hot rivalry of both clubs for the SOL cham pionship is expected to make a furiously contested series here. In their numerous years of con tention with Drain, the Studs YMCA Downs National Guardsmen As Reqular Softball blate tnds JACKSON COUNTY SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION (Final Standings) Walt's Lithia Motors 9 Chris Drugs 7 McCulloch Chain Saw .... 6 National Guard 5 Medford Auto Upholstery 4 20-30 Club 4 Courtesy Chevrolet 4 Bill's 90 Chevron Service 3 YMCA Ysmen 3 DeMolay 0 Pet. l.ooo .778 .667 .556 .444 .444 .444 .333 .333 .000 YMCA bowled over National Guard 11 to 7 yesterday evening in the concluding game of the regular Jackson County Softball association slate.

Anthony, Johnson In Garden Debuts New York (U.R) R e b u i 1 1 Tony Anthony gets the "toughest test" tonight in a TV-radio 10 rounder with light heavyweight Tony Johnson at Madison Square Garden. Each Tony is a New Yorker but each is making his Garden main event debut. Because of his rebuilding pro gram, as well as his speed and punch, 21-year-old Anthony is favored at 13-5 over 25-year-old Johnson, a rugged, free-swinging club fighter. Bookies are laying 7-5 that the bout does not last 10 rounds, regardless of the winner. Slender Anthony's past performances are largely responsible for that 7-5 quotation.. The fragile but ex plosive New Yorker is known as "a guy who knocks you out or gets belted out himself." "The Amazing Volkswagen" Never dies of old age MORSE MOTORS 1201 N. RIVERSIDE tZ have only one victory on record over the Sox. That was in the opening series at Drain this spring. Medford is still fighting for a series triumph over the Black Sox. Coming of Drain again brings to Medford the colorful and wily manager, Roy Helser, ex-Portland Beaver star twirler, who is coach at Linfield college. His squad this season is a combina tion of longtime Sox players and a number of young, upcoming baseballers. The crew includes a few members of his 1956 North west conference championship club at Linfield. Possible Pitchen Helser may pick this week end throwers from among Dick Duerr, Bill Croco, Noel Aronson and Jack Reilly. The skipper, himself, could appear in relief duty as could Ray Stratton. Duerr and Croco are top pitch ers from Linfield and Aronson has starred in the NW confer ence at Whitman college. Aron son is 2-1 on the mound for the loop while Croco is 2-2, seeing frequent relief work, and Duerr seeks to better a 1-3 record. Stratton is a longtime semi pro player and coaches at Drain high. He was mentor at Bandon previously and played for the Bandon Millers in the SOL. Agains the Sox, Manager Jack Cooney expects to call upon his usual starters, Derald Wooton, Don White and Bob Sel sor. Wooton has the club's top winning standing wtih 2-0 Scl sor is 2-1 and White 2-2. Jerry Droscher is 1-1 for the Studs and Kelly 0-1 in the circuit. Lineup Told Beard probably will handle the Drain catching with Vern Marshall (.159) at first base. Marshall is a Linfield star ath lete. Second base may be held down by Ad Rutschman (.143), a former Linfield star gridder and baseballer. Kirsch may be wo Frays aturday at short and Stratton at third. Outfielders could be Wohlers. Norm Welch ,.236) and Ted Wil son (.280), semi-pro vet and coach at McMinnville high. Nor val Richey (.282) and Cliff Girod (.200) are others who may see service for the Sox. Also on the roster is Ray Oakes who was with the Cheney Colts and Studs early in the season. Because of the chipped bone on his hand suffered two weeks ago, Roelandt is a doubtful starter for the Studs this week. If he finds he can't throw effec tively, Bob Smith (.133) will get the catching assignment. Infield ers should be Cooney (.277), first base, Dick Toney ('.126) second base, Twink Pederson (.216) shortstop, and Bill Martell (.214) third base. Outfielders will be named from among Wooton (.178), Sel sor (.216), Kovenz, Maddox and Jerry Bettendorf (.133). ENTERS SEAFAIR Livermore, Calif.
