    Phillips Posts Win
For Braves; Spread
Closed by Dodgers
Bt carl lundquist
United Press Sporli Writer
Taylor Phillips and Bob
Trowbridge, whose names are as
strange to the pennant race as
if they had just stepped out of a
space ship, were keeping the
Milwaukee Braves in first place
today at a time when their vet
eran heroes were faltering.
Phillips, a 23-yar-old who shed
his GI khaki for a baseball uni
form this season, pitched a three
hitter in his first major league
start Thursday night to beat the
St. Lousi Cardinals, 4-1. It was
vital that he did because the
Cardinals won the second game,
5-1, by belaboring Gene Conley.
The previous night it was young
Trowbridge who came to the
rescue by beating the Cards with
a six-hitter after which Lew
(Best Bet) Burdette, another
trusty veteran, also suffered a
defeat.
The victory was extra sweet for
Phillips because he was a pri
vate in the same company where
Cardinal pitcher Vinegar Bend
Mizell was . his sergeant and
"Well, we weren't exactly bud
dies." He would have preferred
beating Mizell instead of Murry
Dickson, but was happy to settle
for his performance wherein he
struck out six Redbirds.
Stan Musial banged home
three runs to give Tom Pohol-
sky an eight-hit second game
triumph.
Dodgers Blast Pirates
The Dodgers moved within a
game and a half of the top by de
feating Pittsburgh 7-3 on a 13-hit
job in which they also made use
of three Pirate errors. Junior
Gilliam made four hits, two of
them doubles, Carl Erskine
failed in quest of his ninth
straight triumph but reliever Ed
Roebuck gained it instead.
Cincinnati chugged to within
two games of the top by defeat
ing the Cubs, 5-3, in 10 innings
on Gus Bell's 22nd homer and
his third in four games. Ted
Kluszewski tied it up at 3-3 with
his 27th homer with a man on in
the eighth. Brooks Lawrence
won his 16th game in a relief
role.
The Giants ended the six-game
Philadelphia winning streak
with a 5-2 victory in which
Jackie Brandt propelled two
homers. Willie Mays and Bill
White also homered for the
Giants. Andy Seminick hit a two
run homer for the Phils.
Mickey Mantle went 14 games
ahead of Babe Ruth's home run
pace with his 39th homer in a 15
7 Yankee triumph at Washing
ton in which Hank Bauer banged
four hits and Billy Martin, Bill
Skowron and Andy Carey had
three each.
Botox Now Second
The Red Sox took over second
place with a 3-1 triumph over
the Orioles in which Frank Sul
livan pitched a six-hitter and
Jimmy Piersall delivered the
marginal runs with a two-run
single. Ted Williams got two hits
and was well behaved all the
way.
Sherman Lollar again sparked
the White Sox by driving in two
runs and scoring a pair himself
in a 9-2 triumph over Cleveland
that dropped the Indians to third
place.
Kansas City, given a lift on
Gus Zernial's three run first in
ning homer, went on to defeat
Detroit, 5-3 and end a six-game
losing streak as Art Ditmar
hurled 8 13 scoreless relief in
nings for the triumph.
Baseball School
Contests Held
Three boys won baseballs and
six gained trophies yesterday in
sliding and throwing contests at
Medford public school baseball
classes.
Tim Darland and David West-
fall tied for top place in sand'
blower sliding and Tim Cox
won the throw for accuracy
among about 60 nine and 10-year-olds
to get baseballs. Bob
Quinney was top slider among
some ou pee wees ana vck uen
Iy won the throw among the 11
12 year-old competitors.
Bob Pond took the intermedi
ate slide and Mike Parsons the
throw in the 13-14 class. In the
15-year-old or cub class George
Ice claimed the slide trophy and
Otto Wirth the throwing award.
There were about 25 intermedi
ates and cubs contending.
Baseball school ended today
after seven weeks of sessions.
Registration for the school was
321 boys and attendance has
averaged a little over 200 youths
per day.
Camp White
Eyes Upset
Camp White's baseball team
will be out to upset the dope
Sunday in the Rogue Valley
league.
The Whiters travel to Glendale
to meet the loop leaders. They
can't knock the Douglas country
club out of the leadership but
they'll be after a win to keep in
the running for post season play
offs. One more setback will put
the Whiters out of contention.
Two other RVL tussles are on
the Sunday docket. Cave Junc
tion in a trip to Butte Falls will
seek to regain its second place
tie with Grants Pass. Ashland
goes to Eagle Point for the other
game.
The Cheney Colts and Grants
Pass met on Wednesday and will
be idle on Sunday. Colts will
tangle with the parent club
Medford Cheney Studs Tuesday
evening at the fairgrounds here.
Richardson, Rosewall
Foes in Eastern Tennis
South Orange, N,J. (U.R) A
duel between Ham Richardson
and Australia's polished Ken
Rosewall highlighted quarter
finals play in the Eastern Grass
Court championships today
where four Americans and four
foreigners were fighting it out
for the title.
The Richardson - Rosewall
match was rated strictly a toss
up but there was a distinct
favorite in each of the other
pairings.
Veteran Vic Seixas of Phila
delphia was rated to win with
out pressure from oldster Sid
Schwartz of Brooklyn, Neale
Fraser of Australia was favored
over Paul Remy of France, and
Ashley Cooper of Australia
drew a solid nod over unseeded
Jack Frost of Monterey, Calif.,
in other round-of-eight matches.

Clevelanders
Picked Over
Star Eleven
Chicago (U.R) The College
All-Stars will match speed and
youth against size and experi
ence in the 23rd annual All-Star
game tonight, but the odds-
makers figured the National
Football league' champion Cleve
land Browns a 12-point choice to
win.
The prcclub has won 13 times
in tlie affair, while the coliegiates
have won sevtm times with two
ties. But the Browns were de
feated a year ago, 40-27, and the
Paul Brown tleven only twice

the same team.
No Easy Roarl
Hence, head. Coach Curly Lam

rall of Michigan State as his
starting quarterback, along with
halfbacks Howard Cassady, Ohio
State, and Dotn Mcllhenny, South

Schafer, Notre Dame.
Lambeau's backs will have
plenty of sxed, but not much
size. j
The Starr), as usual, will have
more weight in the line but still
will be ou'tweighed by the gi
gantic Browns' forwards.
