Ted Williams Fined
$5,000 for Spitting
Brooklyn (U.R) The Brook
lyn Dodgers were amazed today
over the size of the $5,000 fine
meted out against Ted Williams
for his spitting incidents in Bos
ton. "That's amazing," said Jackie
Robinson, "That's a lot of
money. We're wondering if he'll
pay it."
"I wouldn't be surprised if the
league took some action, too,"
said Gil Hodges. "They've got to
protect baseball."
"You have to know the whole
story before you draw any con
clusions," said Duke Snider, who
occasionally has been involved
in incidents with fans himself.

Boston U.PJ Ted Williams,
so angry over a record-equalling
$5,000 fine for misconduct that
he threatened to repeat his spit
ting gestures again, declared to
day "I'm not a damn bit sorry
for what I did."
General Manager Joe Cronin
of the Boston Red Sox fined him
the $5,000 Tuesday for two
spitting incidents in a tight 11'
inning game with the New York
Yankees in which Williams sent
over the winning run by draw
ing a bases-loaded walk. Then to
complete his definace of the fans
and the Boston sports writers
with whom he has feuded per
sistently, he threw his bat 25
feet into the air before going
down to first base.
California Girl
Nabs Skeet Toga
Reno, Nev. OJ.PJ An 18-
year old California girl defeated
the nation's top woman shooter
Tuesday to score the second m
Jor upset in as many days in the
National Skeet Tournament.
Dark-haired Judy Allen of
Oakland scored 97x100 in the
regular .28 gauge competition to
tie Mrs. Carola Mandel of Chi
cago, who holds most of the
country's woman's skeet shoot
ing records.
A two-field, 50-target shoot
off had to be held to determine
the winner.
In the first field, both fired
24x25, but Miss Allen scored 25
in the second as Mrs. Mandel
dropped two targets.
Chet Crites of Detroit, presi
dent of the National Skeet Shoot
ing association, defeated Jaime
Loyola of San Juan, Puerto Rico,
in a shoot-off for the .28 gauge
championship.
1 a spit again on the same
people who booed me," he said
in his hotel suite after figuring
out Tuesday night that the
$5,000 fine would cost him ap
proximately one-eighth of his
take home pay on a $100,000
salary.
"I wouldn't be at the ball park
tomorrow if I could afford $5,000
fines," he said.
The fine equaled the heaviest
ever assessd against a ball play
er. Babe Ruth was fined $5,000
in 1925 by Yankee Manager
Miller Huggins for "misconduct
off the field."
Changed His Tune
Williams was quoted earlier
by Cronin as saying "I was sorry
the minute I did it I can t ex
plain the reason for it."
But he had changed his tune
when he reached his hotel.
His anger reached a peak in
the game when a few of the fans
in the record-breaking crowd of
36,304 booed him for dropping
Mickey Mantle s wind-tossed fly
ball in the Yankee half of the
11th for a two-base error.
The majority of the fans were
on their feet applauding him for
his splendid catch against the
left-field wall of Yogi Berra's
towering clout minutes later.
But the tempermental veteran,
who had got away without any
official reprimand the previous
occasions, apparently chose to
hear only the boos and let go
with a distinct spit at the
stunned onlookers as he ap
proached the Red Sox dugout.
Then, evidently to insure that
his intentions were not to be
mistaken, Williams spit once
more and followed with a men
acing gesture from the enclosure
though only his hand and fore
arm were visible above the roof.
SLAM-BANG SCRAP
Chicago (U.R) A slam-bang
lightweight scrap, probably end
ing short of its scheduled 10
rounds, was promised today by
L. C. Morgan and Toothpick
Brown, who scrap for television
in the Chicago stadium tonight.
Both scrappers possess knockout
ability. Morgan, beaten twice in
16 pro outings, has finished nine
opponents in his 14 wins, while
Brown, with 23 wins in 28
fights, has scored 13 knockouts.
The U.S. Army officially de
fines the salute as a formal
mark of honor, respect or cour
tesy to a person of a higher
rank, to a flag, or to a high
official. Saluting distance is
prescribed at between six and
30 paces.

"Where Good Service Is A Must'
Sacs Tip Suds Again;
Luis' Night Spoiled
As SF Licks Beavers
Br John Mcdonald
United Press Sports Writer
The Seattle Rainiers had their
backs to the wall today and the
wall showed signs of crumbling'
as the Los Angeles Angels chug
eed away toward the Pacific
Coast League pennant.
The Rainiers, blessed with the
loop's best pitching, couldn't get
any runs for Bud Podbielan last
night and the up-and-down Sac
ramento Solons made it four in
a row against the Suds. The 2-0
defeat put the Rainiers 8V4
games from the top.
And with ace Larry Jansen,
who went up to the Cincinnati
Redlegs, out of the picture, it
will take an over-powering
stretch drive to catch the Angels
now.
Late Scoring
The Cherubs saved their pow
er until the late innings as they
scored three times in the ninth
to crush Hollywood 7-3. San
Francisco battered Portland for
17 hits and a 9-3 victory, and
San Diego and Vancouver split
a twin-bill with George Bam
berger twirling a five-hit shut
out for a 7-0 Meuntie win in the
opener, and the Pads capturing
the nightcap, 4-1 behind Arnie

May Indictments
Back in Courts
Portland U.R) Grand jury
indictments of last May charging
illegal wire taping, nearly for
gotten in the wake of grand jury
indictments returned last week,
were back in the Multnomah
county court yesterday.
James B. Elkins, the subject
of 13 of last week's grand jury
indictments, was named in one
of the May grand jury reports.
The raid, staged by county po
lice, was later ruled illegal.
The grand jury which pre
ceded the panel which conducted
the full blown vice probe under
the direction of Attorney Gen
eral Robert Y. Thornton, charged
Elkins and his employee, Ray
mond F. Clark, with wire tap
ping after a series of alleged
wire tap recordings were confis
cated in the raid on a duplex in
southeast Portland.
Also taken in the raid were a
number of slot machines. Clark
and Sunny Martin were indicted
on charges of illegal possession
of the machines.
Judge Frank J. Lonergan gave
the three defendants until next
Tuesday to enter pleas to the
charges.
Automatic Retireme:'. of
Prison Warden Waived
Salem (U.R) The board of
control has waived the automatic
retirement of Warden Clarence
Gladden, 62. By their action the
board made it possible for the
warden to remain in command
of Oregon State prison until he
is 71.
Gladden came to Oregon to
put the riot-torn institution on
an even keel three years ago
after his retirement from the
federal prison system.

Roger Osenbaugh (8-10) blank
ed Seattle with a tight five-hit
job and Jake Crawford's solo
homer in the sixth paced the
Solon win. Sacramento iced it
with another run in the sev
enth when Osenbaugh singled in
Joe Koppe.
Right hander Dave Hillman
got his 15th win against four

a 3-3 deadlock with a run in
the eighth and then shelled Hol

the hill -with three in the ninth.

ger drove in four runs and big
Steve Bilko snapped a batting
slump with three singles in five
trips. The Stars' Gene Freese
homered in the fifth.
San Francisco spoiled "Luis
Marquez night" at Portland as
they led all the way and pounded
a trio of Beaver pitchers. Max
Surkont effectively scattered
eight hits and contributed a
three-run homer to get the Seals
off to a lead in the second. Sur
kont (4-5) struck out eight.
Marquez packed off a wagon
load of loot as the Beaver fans
gave him a night, and got a pair
of singles and scored one of the
Beavers three runs.
Arnie Atkins became San
Diego's first 10 game winner. He
set Vancouver down on three
hits as the Pads copped the night
cap of their doubleheader. Wild-
Wednesday, August 8, 1958

he walked two in the fourth in
ning and gave up a single to Kal
Segrist which scored the Moun

inning opener to score two runs

Padres.
