Homer-A-Day Makes It Plain
Redlegs Intend To Remain in
Thick of National Loop Chase
By FRED DOWN
United Preu Sport Writer
A homer-a-day technique has
the Cincinnati Redlegs threaten
ing two records today and mak
ing it plain they'll be in the Na
tional league pennant race to the
bitter end.
The experts expected the Red
legs to be floundering out of the
race by now but Birdie Tebbts'
maulers simply refuse to fold.
They beat the Pittsburgh Pirates
for the ninth straight time
Wednesday, 6-3. to remain only a
game behind the second-place
Brooklyn Dodgers and cut the
first-place Milwaukee Braves
lead to three games.
Gut Bell walloped his 24th
homer to extend the team's
string to 19 straight games in
which it has hit at least one
homer. The club is within five
games of the National league
mark of 24 straight games set by
the 1953 Dodgers and within six
game of the major league rec
ord set by the 1941 New York
Yankees. In addition. Bell's hom
er was the club's 180th of the
year leaving it 41 shy of the
major league mark of 221 for a
season held by the 1941 New
York Giants.
The Redlegs also took advant
age of errors by Bill Mazeroski
and Dale Long to score four un
earned runs as Joe Nuxhall
gained credit for his ninth win.
Bob Friend was the victim of the
Pirates' loose support and lost his
13th game.
Mutial Makes Two Errors
PeeWee Reese collected three
of the Dodgers' five hits as they
downed the St. Louis Cardinals.
5-3. for a sweep of the two-game
series. Stan Musial committed
two errors and Don Blasingame
one to help the Dodgers score
four unearned runs.
' The last place New Yo r k
Giants turned on their season
long tormentors to deal the
Braves a 2-1 loss and give Dick
Littlefield his first victory since
last Aug. 30. Dusty Rhodes
singled home the decisive run in
the sixth inning as the Giants
beat Milwaukee for only the
fourth time in 20 meetings.
Bob Rush pitched a five-hitter
for his 12th win and the Chicago
fAubs tallied five unearned runs
lo beat the Philadelphia Phillies,
8-3. The Cubs backed Rush with
a nine-hit attack.
The New York Yankees virtu
ally ended the American league
pennant race when they det'eated
the Cleveland Indians. 3-2. and
restored their lead to 8l-i games
with only 34 left to play. Al Ro
aen's two errors on the same play
enabled the Yankees to score the
winning run.
Fierce Gels 18th
Billy Pierce became the A. L.'s i
first 18-game winner of the sea
son when the Chicago White Sox
won a daytime game, 6-3, but the
Boston Red Sox gained a split in
the night game of the 'double
header" with a 7-6 decision. Ron
Northey's sacrifice fly snapped a
3-3 tie in the eighth inning of
the first game and Fred Hatfield
followed with a clinching two
run homer. In the nightcap, hom
ers by Ted Lepcio and Dick Ger
nert helped the Red Sox tie the
score at 6-6 and Billy Consolo
singled in the winning tally in
the ninth.
Al Kaline drove in three runs
with a triple and a sacrifice fly
as the Detroit Tigers rapped out
15 hits to beat the Washington
Senators. 9-5.
Vic Power's two - run single
mapped a 2-2 tie and the Kansas
City Athletics added three insur
ance runs in the 11th to beat the
Baltimore Orioles, 7-2, in the
other AL game.

was hitting on only half its cylin
ders. "We have the nucleus for a
real good ball club." he said.
"About a dozen of the players
can justify calling themselves
major league ball players and
about a dozen cannot."
Bragan said that if all the
players now on the team are
with the Pirates this time next
year "I am going to be conspicu
out by my absence."
"I don't mean that as a threat
or anything like that," he said,
"but. hell, we're shooting for
the top. aren't we?'

said in an interview, "if I lose
next year, then Im going to lose

Berrios Gets
Verdict Over
Flash Elorde
By SCOTT BAILLE
San Francisco !U.R) Look
out, Sandy Saddler a sharp
little featherweight named
Miguel Berrios is eyeing your
world title today, and it doesn't
pay to get him mad.
The bouncing Puerto Rican
turned in the best performance
of his young career Wednesday
night by outpointing highly rated
Flash Elorde of the Philippines
and doing a thorough job of it.
Berrios, who only stands five
feet two. exploded solid right
crosses into the Filipino south
paw's face with monotonous reg
ularity during their ten-round
go. and had his opponent groggy
from a barrage of those shots
late in the sixth round.
"He never hurt me," sultry
Miguel said afterwards. "When
ever he hit me with a good
punch, I just got mad and threw
more and harder punches."
Elorde wasn't the only loser.
The sponsors of the nationally-
televised Wednesday night bouts
also came out second best when
the contest failed to get onto the
screens because of the Republi
can convention going on about
12 miles away.
Right Crosses Do Job
Elorde, who had won five
straight fights after being
stopped in a title bout by Sad
dler, went into the ring with
everything except a defense
against Miguel's accurate right
crosses.
He was the 8-5 favorite, out
weighed the little guy 129V4
pounds to 126' 4, enjoyed an
extra four inches in height and
was ranked fourth to Berrios'
tenth.
But from that point on. every
thing was in Miguel's favor. The
dark-brown puncher kept a safe
distance .from Elorde's artistic
combinations and then sprang
in when he saw his target open
to drive home those rights over
the Filipino's inadequate guard.
Referee Frankie Carter, who
cautioned Berrios twice not to
butt, voted the fight to him 96-94
as did the United Press. Judge
Verne Bybee gave the bout to
Berrios 98-94, but Judge Jack
Downy saw 98-94 in favor of
Elorde.
Al Williams
Leaves for
Hudson Tiff
Al Williams, golf professional
at Rogue Valley Country club,
was to leave today for Portland
to participate in the annual Hud
son cup matches.
The contest between the lead
ing pros and the top amateurs
of the Pacific northwest is
scheduled Saturday and Sunday
at Portland Golf club. Two-ball
competition is set for Saturday
and individual matches on Sun
day. Thirty-six holes will be
played each day.
Williams ranked fifth in the
point ratings which determined
the personnel of the 10-man pro
team. He had 137M points. Joe
Greer, Yakima, Wash., and
Chuck Congdon, Tacoma, Wash.,
headed the list with 400 points
each. Bunny Mason, Salem, had
175, and Ray Honsberger, Seat
tle, 140.

Discriminating,
Official States
Havana. Cuba (U.R) The
National Boxing association is
only trying to get some action
developing in the heavyweight
division and is not discriminat
ing against top challenger Ar
chie Moore, outgoing president
Lou Radzienda told the United
Press today.
Radzienda said the NBA hop
ed there would be a champion
ship bout this fall between
Moore and Floyd Patterson, but
that "it will not be held unless
Patterson is ready."
The NBA recognizes that
Moore is the number one heavy
weight today and Patterson is
number two." Radzienda said. "I
personally feel Patterson and
Moore will box for the title this
fall, but if Patterson's hand has
not healed and he isn't ready,
then the NBA will have to
take other action so that the
boxing world will have a heavy
weight champion."
Radzienda discounted demands
by Charles Johnston of New
York, Moore's manager, that an
cient Archie should be recogniz
ed immediately as the heavy
weight champion and successor
to Rocky ,Marciano.

He suggests six learns of six

Players would not wear ex

would be required to wear
tennis or basketball shoes. He
reports that a small group, in
cluding Jack Boardtnan, Loren

have discussed the matter.
Persons interested should tele

the Mail Tribune spoils de
partment. If sufficient interest
is shown a meeting will be
called.
Rogue River High school,
which competed in A-2 class ath
letics for a school year a few
years back, anticipates the return
to A status soon and, in prepara
tion for that day, will contend
in the Rogue league as well as
carrying its regular , Jackson
County B league slate this year.
The Chieftains in the post war
period have been strong contend
ers in the B circuit, particularly
in basketball and football. Their
action with the A-2s really will
not be a great change since
Rogue River has scheduled those
clubs right along but puts the
action on a more formal basis.
Also playing the small A
schools of this section on a fuller-time
basis will be Glendale.
The Douglas county school has
been a member of District 6 A-2
but last year was shunted be
tween the south and north div

time member of the southern
sector as of this fall.
Henley, an A-2 school for sev

6 football chase this fall for the
first time. Another District 6
member, Brookings, will field a
football club for the first time
this fall but will not enter con
tention for state title honors.

DISAPPOINTMENT
The State-Metro Shrine all

proved a considerable disap
pointment for guard Monte
Hoist, only Medford member of
the State squad. Monte hurt his
knee the first day of practice
and therefore was held out of
scrimmage during State work
outs. Because of the injury and
lack of scrimmage, he got into
action for only one play at the
end of the game. Philosophically,
Hoist said he hadn't expected to
see much duty after not practic

misfortune makes him look for
