Redlegs Pick U Littrel's Homers i 6a me on Braves; ace Bevo Win Chicago's Donovan Stops Yanks By UNITED PRESS The Philadelphia Phillies who have been giving the Milwaukee Braves fits this season, turned back the National league pace setters, 3-0, Saturday on a neat two-hitter by Bob Miller. However, the Braves hung on to their two-game lead over the Brooklyn Dodgers, when Hal Jeffcoat pitched the Cjiclnnati Redlegs to a 5-2 triumph over the defending World Champ ions. The third-pace Redlegs now trail Brooklyn by two games and are four games back of Mil waukee.

The Red legs snapped Carl Erskine's nine- same winning streak by scor ing two runs in the firstnnning and adding two more in the third. Ted Kluszewski knocked . In two of those runs with suc cessive singles. The New York Giants finally surrendered last place in the National league to Chicago by downing the Cubs, 8-0, for their fifth straight victory.

Southpaw Herb Score, who lasted only four in nings, absorbed his eighth de feat against 14 victories. Dave Sisler was the winner, although he required relief help from Ike Delock in the sixth inning.

Riney Leads Lewiston Win Over Eugene By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer Joe Riney, Lewiston's one-man wrecking crew, continued his torrid hitting Friday night in Northwest league play. Riney blasted two home runs and a double and drove in eight runs in Lewiston's 13-3 triumph over Eugene. He hit a grand-slam homer in the fifth and added a three-run job in the eighth to go with his run-producing double. Pitching held the spotlight at Spokane where reliable Bill Bot tler chalked up his 16th win of the season. Bottler spaced six hits as the Indians nipped Tri City 4-3 with a run in the bot-' torn of the ninth. Yakima got all its runs Jn one inning to top Wenatchee 6-4. Wenatchee had gone ahead 4-0 with a single run in the fifth and a three-run homer by Larry oegovia in the top of the sixth. However, the Bears went -to work and produced six runs in their half of the inning with the big blow being a three-run hom er by veteran Herm Reich. Beavers Rap Vancouver In 12-7 Win Vancouver. B. C. U.PJ The Portland Beavers took two-game lead In their five-game Pacific Coast League series against the Vancouver Moun- ties Saturday, with a wild 20- hit asault and a 12-7 victory in the opening half of a day-night doubleheader. Each team used 14 men in parade of base hits and throw ers which never seemed to end. The second Portland pitcher, Tlex Konikowski, came out of it the winner, while Vancouver starter Fred Besana was forced to absorb his 12th loss against only one victory. The Beavers hit out for vic tory again with a four-run out burst in the fourth inning, but it still wasn't enough. The de termined Mounties narrowed the lead to 7-6 with a single run in the sixth frame and two more tallies in the seventh. Finally, in the eighth, the Beavers managed to put it away with another uprising this one good for three runs. They added two insurance markers in the ninth frame. Mickelson Hits Four The batting hero for Port land was shortstop Jack Litt- rell. He had five hits in six trips, two of them homers and two of them doubles. He drove in three runs. Ed Mickelson, with four hits, and Sam Calderone with three- for-three also contributed' large shares to the Portland victory. Calderone had the only oth er Portland homer, while Jim Pisoni connected for the lone Vancouver circuit blow, his 19th oi me year. Cleveland 004 001 100 8 3 Boston 300 230 Olx 0 10 0 Score.

Shanty, owned by William Waggoner of Vernon, Tex., got off to a bad start as the two boats sped across the starting line. But Shanty caught up with the Canadian boat and edged past it while the two boats were coming out of the first turn on the Detroit river. From then on, the swift Shan ty steadily increased its lead and coasted across the finish line more than half a lap ahead of Miss Supertest. The second 35-mile heat of the first Harmsworth race in 6 years will be held over the same course on Monday. A third heat in this best - two - of - three heat event, will be held the following day, if necessary. Considering Shanty s tremend ous speed potential. Air Force Lt. Col. Russell Schleeh ran the winner at a comparatively slow pace. Schleeh, a jet pilot on leave from the Strategic Air command, made his first lap the fastest in the seven-lap event over a five mile course, covering the dis tance at a speed of 98.784 miles an hour. In an elimination run-off to decide the American defender earlier this week, Schleeh whip ped the boat around the twisting Harmsworth course at a record 117.227 mph. Aubry Leads Junior Golf Fareo. N.D. (U.R) Bill Aubry of Corvallis led 'the Ore gon entries in the third round of the international junior cham ber of commerce golf tourney here Friday with a one-over-par 73. The 73 gave Aubry a 54-hole total of 528. Ron Weber, of Prineville, carded a 75, three over regula tion figures yesterday, to give him a 54 hole total of 225, three strokes ahead of Aubry. Jack Rule of Waterloo, Iowa, and Jack Nicklaus of Columbus, Ohio, shared the lead for the tourney. Rule turned in a three under 69 Friday while Nicklaus finished in even par to give each youth a total of 213. Spahn 2 Shy Of 200 Wins Warren 'spahn said early in the season he'd settle for nothing less than 20 victories" and it looked Friday like the Milwau kee Braves' 35-year-old left hander may prove as good as his word. Spahn, who bogged down in midseason after a fast start scored his fifth straight win and his 15th of the year Friday night when the Braves retained their two-game National League lead with a 6-1 win over the Philadel phia Phillies. It was a "clutch" win because the second-place Brooklyn Dodgers kept the pres sure on with a 6-4 decision over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Spahn now needs only two more victories to reach the 200 mark for his career and five more would make him the first southpaw in National League history to win 20 games in seven different seasons. -f Sunday, August 28, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Amount of Major League Home Runs Presents Problem to Scribe By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Shutout statistics, as well as the record pace in home run hitting in both major legaues, would tend to substantiate the moaning pitchers that the base ball this season is jackrabbit In stead of horsehide. The National League has had only 50 shutouts against a low record of 49 away back in 1925. The American Legaue has had only 52, compared with the low of 41 in 1930. That's far off the record pace of 145 for the American League in 1909, when Ty Cobb was the leading home run hitter with nine. And way back of the 1908 National League record of 162 shutouts, when Tim Jordan of Brooklyn led the homer hitters with 12. Meanwhile, individual team and league home run rec ords for both loops seem assured this season. Amateur Watched Closely The U. S. Gold ' Association quietly has been putting the "heat" on the amateur stars to keep them spotless. The word is out that an amateur who plays in any sort of Calcutta pool, even at his own club, will lose his standing. It's so strict that when pro Jimmy Thomson offered golf balls for the round to am ateur Hillman Bobbins during San Antonio exhibition re cently, the young Memphis ama teur wouldn't even accept them. You might say that Stew Pell, six-foot, three-inch 230-pound tackle at North Carolina, is ,a veteran gridder. He had four years of high school football, one year at Pennsylvania school and four years of football in the Navy. This year, under Jim Tatum, he'll be a 10-year man. Incidentally, nearby Duke University is worried that under Loggers Maintain Pace In Tourney Wichita, Kan (U.R) With six of the nine Zender brothers on their: roster seeing service, the Deming, Wash., Loggers moved unbeaten Into the third round of the National Baseball Congress tournament Saturday. Dick Zender, who managers the club,, singled with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, to drive in the winning run of a four-run rally as the Washing ton club won 5-4 over the John ston, N.Y., Glovers. Also showing up in the Dem ing lineup were Zender brothers Bernie at second, Pete in right field, Jake in left field, Nick at third base and Dan as a pinch-hitter. USE TRIBUNE WANT ADS Tatum's new guidance the Tar heels will run Duke right off the Dixie grid map. Duke alumni have started a muttering cam paign against head Coach Bill Murray and the Wolfpack will be in full cry if things go bad this fall particularly in the Duke-Carolina game. Guided Olympic .Tour I you have the loot and the inclination, you can get a guided tour to the Olympic Games at Melbourne,' Australia, this fall from $1,469 on up. That price includes your tickets to the track and field portion of the games, meals, reservations and the works. Which brings to mind that U.S. athletes will have an extra large cheering section at the games down under. The U. S. Seventh Fleet will arrive at Melbourne just in time for the games. But all the runners aren't heading for Australia. Prince Cortauld, leading Anzac thor oughbred, will fly here for the Washington Interna tional at Laurel, Md., on Nov. 12. A lot of tacklers have been shaken up by the power running of Michigan State s Walt Kowal ozyk, but imagine the plight of his fellow outfielders when he was a high school centerfielder. He shook his mates up so badly in bull like dashes for fly balls that his coach instructed the other outfielders to play five yards from each foul line and give the rest to Walt Inter ference, follow me! Babe Zaharias Continues 'Great Fight' With Cancer Galveston, Tex. (U.R) Cancer and a recent operation have caused a great loss of weight and strength in Babe Zaharias, her doctor said Sat urday but she continues to show "great fight." In an official bulletin issued at John Sealy hospital, where the Babe has been off-and-on since April of 1953, her physi cian said Friday night: Weight and Strength Lost "In view of the underlying malignancy, a development of an intestinal obstruction a few weeks ago, and the necessity for additional surgery to relieve it, all has resulted in great loss of weight and strength. "However, Mrs. Zaharias re mains' free of pain, bright and cheerful. Her morale is amazing ly good.

The bulletin did not go quite as far as the famous Babe's hus band, George, did in a telephone interview with the Tampa, Fla., Daily Items. He was quoted as saying that she had had "too many strikes against her." Air Hostess New Champ Philadelphia (U.R) Lu. cille Linkiewicz, a Los Angeles airline hostess, Is the new junior national platform diving champion. Lucille acquired her crown Friday night in one of the high lights of the Middle Atlantic AAU swimming championship events at Kelly pool. But it took some smart thinking for the 24- year-old Miss even to get a chance for the, title. Thursday morning Lucille was in Los Angeles when she ar ranged with her ailine to serve on a non-stop flight to New York. She arrived late that night and had a 24-hour layover. The willowy diver headed here to easily win the championship. As soon as her event concluded, Lucille was rushed to the air port to catch a plane to New York, where she. again resumed her role as hostess on a non-stop flight back to Los Angeles. Toronto (U.R) Sid Smith de clared today that he has resigned as captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs to concentrate on improv ing his play next season.
