Stengel Longshot Ends Losing
Hank Aaron Extends Streak to
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Preti Sports Writer
Casey Stengel, a wily old
codger who generally frowns on
gambling, came up with a long
shot exactly as his Yankee
players predicted he would to
halt both a six-game losing
streak and talk that the Bronx
Bombers might be starting to
buckle.
"Leave it to old Case." said
the Yankees, even while they
were in the throes of their long
est losing streak of the season.
"He'll think of something and
' when he does, we'll be okay
again."
Stengel did think of some
thing, rookie pitcher Ralph Ter

A powered a homerun over cen
ter field at Hawthorne park yes
terday evening to send the play
off for the Jackson County Soft
ball championship into an extra
and final conflict.
The long fly ball with two
men on base was good for three
big runs and gave the Medford
Guardsmen a 4 to 3 nod over
Chris Drugs of Jacksonville. It
was the first loss for the Drug
gists in the double elimination
titular tourney and means that
the two clubs will collide again

Colts, now standing fourth, can
tie for third in the circuit with
a win. Cave Junction and GP are
now deadlocked' in second.
Butte Falls and Eagle Point

league victory with a 4-3 decis

Monday night and the Yankees
increased their lead to eight
games in the American league
race.
Two Hurlert Helped
True, Terry needed help from
relievers Tom Morgan and Tom
my Byrne, but the important
thing from the Yankees' view
point was that they were back
on the right track again and old
Case had called the turn on his
long shot gamble.
Terry, 20-year-old right-hand
Wednesday about 6' p.m. at the
city park. Winner will be the
champion. Chris last week nudg
ed the Guard 11 to 10.
Burns' terrific wallop came in
the sixth inning when the Guard
was trailing 1 to 3. After Dick
Phillips grounded out to start
the turn at bat, Ted and Ned
Landers clubbed successive
singles. Bill Matejka pop fouled
for the second out. Then Burns
came through with his smash.
Score In First
Gene Snook flied out to short
stop to retire the side. Ray Sing
ler flied to the outfield as the
Eagle Point, Camp White at
Glendale and Cave Junction at
Butte Falls.
The Grants Pass squad is made
up almost entirely of ex-Grants
Pass players. Manager Don New
man likely will select his pitcher
from among four men, Don Ja
cobson, Mel Drews, Bob Graue
and Larry Cochell. Of the quar
tet only Cochell is still in high
school. He'll be a junior next
year. Drews was a 'catcher in
high school.
GP catcher should be either
Glenn Reese or Bob Fisher. In
fielders may be Don Reese, first
base; Bruce Brickell, second;
Chuck Nevi, shortstop: and Allan
'Drews, third. The outfield could
be Jay Reese, Les Shaw and Mel
Friend.
The Studs will play Beaverton
here Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon.
Ma rquez Leads Bevos
To 7-6 Win Over S.F.
Portland (U.R) Portland
put together a pair of three-run
innings and a single counter in
another frame last night, then
withstood a surging San Fran
cisco rally in the final stages to
score a 7-6 Pacific Coast league
win.
The Beavers jumped off to a
three run bulge in the opening
stanza off starter Russ Kemmer
er (8-11), the loser, then added
three in the seventh after rack
ing up a lone tally in the sixth.
San Francisco used three two
run homers to account for all of
its runs, two of them coming
in the final stanza, before Bob
Alexander, the second Beaver
hurler of the night, could finally
quell the fire.
Portland batted through the
order in the first sparked by a
two run triple by Luis Marquez.
Flashy Luis slipped home him
self on Bob Bowkowski's sacri
fice fly for run number three.
Sam Calderone tallied a lone
Beaver run in the sixth when
he took a charity jaunt to first,
then trotted the paths when Tom
Saffell stroked out a triple
against the center field wall.
Marquez replied for the Beav
ers in their half of the seventh
with his 20th circuit blow of the
year to lead off the frame. Ed
Mickelson doubled to left. Jack
son doubled to center and Leo
Thomas' sacrifice fly plated the
third tally of the inning.
Bob Darnell (12-8) took credit
for the win,-though he needed
help from Alexander in the
ninth.
The win gave Portland a 2-1
series edge over the Seals.
San Francisco center fielder
Marty Keough was taken from
the game in the sixth when he
suffered an ankle injury.
Keough had gone back to field
Saffell's triple off the center
field boards when the ball
bounced back quickly and he
stepped on it. He was taken to
a Portland hospital for x-rays.
Old Gene Bearden. the erst
while Cleveland Indian knuckle
bailer, may be over the hill in
Tuesday, August 7. 1958
er brought up from the minors
only last Friday, blanked Bos
ton for the first four innings as
the Yanks got to Tom Brewer
for three runs in the fourth. Jer
ry Coleman's two-run single
highlighted the frame.
The Red Sox got to Terry for
a run in the fifth inning and
after Jim Piersall hit a two-run
homer in the sixth, Morgan re
lieved Terry. Byrne entered in
the seventh and pitched hitless
ball thereafter to nail down the
victory.
In the only other American
league game scheduled, right
hander Paul Foytack pitched a
five-hitter in leading the Detroit
Tigers to a 9-0 victory over the
Homer;
Druggists began their last turn
at bat. Frances Guidry and Dale
Thompson were out on succes
sive grounders to end the game.
National Guard worked into
the scoring column in the first
inning of the tussle on hits by
Denny Burns and Ted and Ned
Landers and a fielder's option.
Chris knotted the fray in the
third frame on a single by Sing
ler, a base on balls to Guidry
and a single by Thompson.
The Jacksonville - sponsored
nine jumped to its 3 to 1 edge in
the fifth canto on a safety by
Singler. an error, a passed ball
and a fly ball single to left field
close to the foul line by Clyde
Smith.
Guard chances to retaliate in
the fifth were snapped off by the
Druggists third double play of
the game. But the Guard set
itself up for the big batting turn
as Chris went out on three pop
flies on four pitches in the sixth.
Five-Hitter Pitched
Luther Fisher pitched five hit
ball ior the Guard, walking
three and whiffing four. Singler
gave up seven safe raps, issued
one base on balls and had no
strikeouts. The Chris flinger
socked two of his club's five
hits. The Landers twins each
safetied twice for the National
Guard.
It was the first victory for the
Guard over the Druggists in this
season's association play. Chris
took a one-run verdict in the
regular round of play.
Guidry made one double play
unassisted for the Druggists. He
caught a foul fly and tagged out
Ted Landers who tried to dash
home after the catch. The Jack
sonville third baseman also
started off the other two double
kills, tagging his base and throw
ing to second on one occasion
and launching a third to second
to first base play on the other.

he got over Monday night was
named Rainier.
Big Gene's southpaw flutter
ball had less to do with his win
over Seattle than did his bat
and that of his Sacramento
mates, however. The Solons
slammed out 13 hits and beat
the Seattle Rainiers 10-5 to give
them a 3-0 lead in the series
and knock the Suds seven and
a half games out of first place.
Bearden brought his club to
within a single run of Seattle
when he whacked a solo home
run in the seventh inning off
loser Howie Judson. Then in the
eighth the Solons erupted for
seven big runs and sewed up
the game.
Ryne Duren pitched a two
hitter in the seven inning first
game to blank San Diego while
Angelo Dagres drove home the
only run with a double. The
lose was hard-luck Eddie Erautt,
who gave up only three blows.
John Carmichael blanked
Vancouver on six hits in the
second game while his mates
scored three in the third and
three in the fourth.

A spokesman at John Sealy

Los Angeles (U.R) Star
UCLA passer Ronnie Knox may
sign a contract with the Hamil

dal. His stepfather, Harvey Knox I
announced Monday he was tak-
ing the Bruin tailback to Can-:
ada to "look over the situation" '
there and "talk over things"
with the Tigers. Jake Gaudaur, !
general manager and president
of the Hamilton club, has re
portedly offered Ronnie SI. 000
a game as a T quarterback for
the Tigers. !
The older Knox, self-appoint- !
ed manager of his stepson, said
he was not happy with UCLA
because the school hasn't clear
ed Ronnie of receiving "under
the table" payments in connec
tion with the PCC scandal. The
talkative Knox said "the boy
is innocent."
"I'm not saying he wouldn't
like to play for UCLA," Harvey i
said. "It all depends on what j
they do." I
Ronnie currently is under
contract to Metro-Goldwyn-May-er
Studio and is studying dra
matics. He still has a year of
technical eligibility providing he
doesn't run afoul of the last
PCC edict taking a year's eligi
bility away from all UCLA
