But like the golfers who

They agreed that it was one
of the most poorly-conditioned
courses over which a major
championship ever has been de

opinion when a club member
ssked him what he thought of
the course.
"What course''" Snead asked.
Then turning aside to his play
ing partners, he remarked.
"How could anyone call this a
course?"
Even so, Snead, who said an
old Injury to his left hand no

that "if I putt okay, I should be

Sisler Puts On Show

Big Dick Sisler. a free-swinging

There is a retail store for every

every 62, an apparel store for shows Thursday night that just

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.

In 'Shoe Tourney
Murray. Utah - (U.R) Five
of the nation's top horseshoe
pitchers today were tied for top
honors in the national horseshoe
pitching championship tourney
with seven straight wins.
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

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."

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).
