SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, August 27, 1358 Braves' Buhl Chalks Up Seventh Verdict Over Brooklyn Dodgers By FRED DOWN United Press Sporti Writer Bob Buhl ranks alongside Sal Maglie, Bucky Walters and Ed Reulbach as- a "Brooklyn Dodg er killer" today with a 7-0 sea son slate that explains the Mil waukee Braves' three-game Na tional league lead. The 28-year-old righthander scored the most important of those seven wins Sunday when he beat the Dodgers, 6-2, in the opener of a key two-game series In his seven victories over the Dodgers, Buhl has pitched 59 innings, yielding 48 hits and 15 runs for a glittering 2.28 earned run average. Buhl's performance against the Dodgers this year tops any single season mark compiled by Maglie when he was public ene my No. 1 in Brooklyn. He is the first pitcher to beat the Dodgers seven times in a campaign since Bucky Walters did it for the Cin cinnati Redlegs in 1939. It s ironic that Buhl comes from Saginaw, Mich., only 85 miles from the birthplace of the original "Dodger killer" Reul bach. Back in 1908, Detroit- born Reulbach whipped the Dodgers nine times. Buhl will get one more crack at the Dodgers next month. Bob, who is 16-5 against the league, pitched a seven - hitter Sunday and had a shutout until the ninth when Sandy Amoros hit a two-run homer. The Braves backed him with a 10-hit attack that included home runs by Hank Aaron and Johnny Logan to hand Roger Craig his ninth loss. It was Milwaukee's 11th win in 19 meetings with the de fending world champions. The Redlegs fell 4Vi games behind the Braves when they split a doubleheader with the Philadelphia Phillies. The Red legs pounded out 15 hits, in cluding Ted Kluszewski's 33rd homer to win the opener, 10-5, but the Phillies came back with a 16-hit assault behind Harvey Haddix to take the nightcap, 11-4. Bob Friend won his 15th game and Ronnie Kline his 11th as the Pittsburgh Pirates scored 2-0 and 2-1 victories over the Chi cago Cubs. Friend fired a four hitter in the first game and then pitched 1 13 innings of hitless relief to preserve Kline's tri umph in the nightcap. The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants split a doube header by identical 4-3 scores, Rose Winner In Hardtop Main Event Bob Rose drove his M45 to victory Saturday night in the hardtop auto main event which sent Wayman Core to the hospit al as the results of the worst roll recorded on the Valley View speedway. Rose beat a 16-car field In the 25 lapper and was followed by Bob Wilcox and Bob Jenkins in that order. Core's car went 10 to 15 feet in the air and made a complete turn. His condition at Ashland General hospital is serious. . Wayne Lemley in 57 won the hardtop semi-main. Ted Sletten was second and Joe Ellison third. Frank Woods in a 1949 Ford took the stock main which sent another driver to the hospital. Jim Ervm rolled on the second lap He suffered a prained foot. Cecil James was second in the chase which was marked by numerous spin outs. Jenkins grabbed the A trophy dash and Chuck Davis the B event Joe Ellison won the first heat with Lemley second and Cliff McGilvery third. Wilcox took the second heat. Lou Kurz fin ished in the "place" position and Al Hammonds skippered the "show" car. Rusty Phillips, Fred Arnberg and Core finished in that order in the third heat race. Hank Sauer's three-run homer sparking the Redlegs in the first game and Johnny Antonelli coming to Dick Littlefield's res cue in the last two innings of the Giants' win. The Detroit Tigers scored five runs in the third inning for a 5-4 triumph after Tom Sturdivant's six-hitter gave the American league-leading New York Yan kees a 7-0 decision. Rocky Colavito hit a two-run homer and a two-run double to account for all the Cleveland Indians' runs in a 4-1 triumph over the Washington Senators. Early Wynn struck out six to win his 15th game and the 216th of his career. Gerry Staley's six-hitter en abled the Chicago White Sox to gain a 5-1 win after the Balti more Orioles snapped Billy Pierce's string of 13 straight vic tories over them with an 8-1 triumph. Bill Wight struck out five and yielded five hits in winning the opener. Al Pilarcik's lOth-inning dou ble drove in the winning run as the Kansas City Athletics beat the Boston Red Box, 7-6, after a 2-1 defeat. Gus Zernial hit two homers to bring the Athletics from behind in the second game.

Ind., took handicap honors Saturday with 99 out of 100 birds at 22 yards. Five tied for the runnerup spot with 98 in the regulation firing. In the final day s only other event, Ned Lilly of Stanton, Mich., won the doubles firing with a 98. In overall competition, Joe iestand Hof Hillsboro, Ohio, won his seventh title with a score of 963 out of 1.000. High overall among the women was Iva Pem bridge of Phillipsburg, Kan., with 933. The Klamath Falls Lakers combined heavy slugging with their more familiarity with the home park club the Medford Cheney Studs 16 to 8 in a mara thon game Saturday night and then used some more heavy hit ting and strong pitching on Sun day afternoon to blank Medford 7 to 0 as the two aggregations closed out their 1956 semi-pro baseball seasons. Klamath's victories over the Southern Oregon league champs brought the Laker's season record as an independent crew to 30 wins against five losses. Medford finished its year with 21 and 12. Stan Johnson was the big gun for the Lakers Saturday as the host crew pounded Studs' hurl- er Derald Wooton for 17 hits and as Medford fielders encount ered trouble under the odd light ing of Gem stadium. Johnson smashed out six hits in six times up including a home run and a triple. Leopold Three-Hitter On Sunday Bob Leopold, on the mound for Klamath, held the Studs to three hits, all sin gles, while the home gang was collecting 12 bingles off Bob Selsor. Johnson, Ron Owings and Len Farrell all socked three for five. Farrell's hits were all for extra bases, a double. triple and a homer. Owings and Johnson recorded a triple each. Leopold whiffed four Stud batters and walked only one in the Sunday game. On Saturday night the Studs did some heavy hitting of their own but it didn t prove enough. They got 10 safe raps off Walt Payne and Jack Henkel. Jerry Bettendorf slapped two three baggers in four times up. Frank Roelandt hit two for four eluding a double and Jack Cooney counted up a three for four mark with one two-baser. The Lakers took advantage of nine walks off Wooton and five errors in compiling their runs in the series opener. Their big inning was the first with seven runs on a single and triple bv shortstop Johnson, a three- baser bv Dino Restelli and single by Gambee, along with Girl Athlete Sets Records Washington (U.R) Earlene Brown, who has been a practic ing athlete only 3Vi months, set two American records Saturday in winning a place on the Amer ican women s Olympic track ana field team. Mrs. Brown, 21, far from a fin ished track performer, used sheer power to throw the discus 145 feet 4'i inches and the shot 46 feet 9V4 inches. She used the 226 lbs. of muscle on her 5-foot-seven-inch frame to send the weights to record shat tering distances. Mrs. Brown eclipsed Pamela Kurrell's record of 140 feet 11 inches in the discus and her own week-old record mark of 45 feet for the shot. Weber 301 Card Heads Oregon. ans Fargo, NX). U.P.)

Yesterday afternoon Dick Toney, Terry Maddox and Sel sor got the few Studs' hits. Toney and Maddox got theirs in the fourth inning when a Med ford rally almost resulted ir scoring. After Toney got on base, i,ooney boarded the bags on an error. Roelandt then lined to Payne at second base. Payne dropped the ball but it was a break against the Studs rather than for them. Honey and Cooney were the victims of double play. Had all three run ners been safe, ' Maddox's hit would have brought in at least one run.
