Hillman Grabs 19th
For LA, Stops Valdes
Try; Bernier Fined
Br JOHN McDONAI.n
Uniud Pri Sporti Writer
Hollywood ! fiery Carlos Ber
nier, always a headache to Paci
fic Coast league umpires, began
sitting out an indefinite suspen
sion today but the controver
sial Puerto Rican speed boy
couldn't blame the umps this
time. His own manager, Clay
Hopper, hoisted the thumb and
slapped him with a $50 fine for
"too much lip."
Hopper said the 27-year-old
Bernier started sounding off
when the manager lifted him
from the second came of a twin
bili with Sacramento because of
Bernier s injured thumb
Hopper was in no mood for
Bernier's beefing as he watched
tne boions swep the doublehead'
er 3-2 and 4-2. '
In other games Dave Hillman
racked up his 19th victory for
Los Angeles and stopped Rene
Valdes from gaining his 20th as
the Angels dumped Portland
4 2; Vancouver edged Seattle
7-6 in a four hour, 13-inning
marathon; and the San Diego
i'adres handed San Francisco
its 31st one-run defeat of the
season, 3-2.
Loop's Bad Bov
Bernier has been the loop's
bad boy since 1954 when he
poked Umpire Chris Valenti
after a called third strike. For
that he drew a suspension for
the remainder of the season.
He was benched last week be
cause of a fracture at the tip of
his thumb, but apparently
thought it had healed sufficient
ly to play last night. He current
ly leads the league in stolen
bases and triples and set a mod
ern PCL record a few years
back with 65 base thefts.
Bernier's contribution last
night was a single in the first
game and one for seven for the
night. The Solons' Cloyd Boyer
shut out the Stars on three hits
in the seven-ining opener and
Nippy Jones drove In two runs,
the second with a game-winning
sacrifice fly to wrap up the
nightcap.
Jones also brought in one of
the Solons' first game runs with
a double and Wally Westlake's
two baser accounted for the
other.
The double win rocketed the
Solons to within one-half game
of fourth place Portland.
Pitchtrs' Affair
What had the makings of one
of the season's best pitching
duels between Valdes and Hill
man proved a hitter's affair at
Portland.
Hillman stopped Valdes' bid
to become the loop's first 20-
game winner and put himself in
line. Both hurlers now have 19
wins.
Bob Speake hammered a two-
run homer over the right field
wall to give the Angels a 2-0
lead in the second. Hillman had
the Beavers blanked until the
seventh when Jick Littrell sin
gled in one run and Luis Mar-
quez's sacrifice fly chased home
the second.
Valdes had the consolation of
stopping the Angels' home run
king, Steve Bilko, cold in five
trips.
At Seattle, Charlie Beamon's
squeeze bunt scored the winning
run for Vancouver in the 12th
inning after the Suds' Art Schult
doubled and Milt Smith singled
him home in the ninth to send
it into overtime.
The Mounties rapped out 15
hits in the wild contest and com
mitted five errors.
Home runs by Eddie Kzzak
and Joe Astroth in the fifth in
ning kept San Diego in the
game, and Bob Usher's third
straight single in the eighth won
it and gave Vic Lombardi his
ninth win and third over the
Seals this year.

Watered Down
Segregation Law
Sugar Bowl Aim
New Oreleans (U.R) Sugar
Bowl officials were expected to
publicly announce today a plan
to water down a strict segrega
tion law which bans all racially
mixed athletics in Louisiana.
Letters went out late Tuesday
to the 140 state legislators, who
meet in a special 12-day session
called by Gov. Earl Long for
Thursday, asking them to give
the Sugar Bowl their support.
The plan, a bold one for this
segregation-conscious itate, was
to seek the signatures of each
lawmaker as authors of a bill
which would exempt cities over
100,000 population in the state
from the terms of the racial bill.
This would keep alive ambi
tious sports dreams for the
cities of New Orleans, Shreve
port and Baton Rogue.
The Legislature unanimously
approved a bill during the recent
regular 60-day session which out
laws the mixing of Negro and
white players in any profes
sional or amateur sports events
in Louisiana.

High Ratings
New York tU.R) The historic
old boxing town of New Orleans
moved squarely into the fore
front today in the latest Ring
magazine ratings which placed
new champ Joe Brown at the
top of the lightweight division
and Willie Fastrano as No. 4
contender among heavyweights.
Brown, fighting in his home
town in the first New Orleans
title bout in 39 years, won a
split decision over champion
Wallace (Bud) Smith last Friday
night He advanced from eighth
in the previous ratings. Smith
was dropped to No. 3 contention
an unusual demotion in view of
the split decision. Duilio Loi of
Italy was the No. 1 contender
in the new ratings and Cisco
Andrade of Compton, Calif.,
No. 2.
The title-vacant heavyweight
division remained inactive as far
as settling the championship
was concerned and A r c hi e
Moore remained the No. 1 chal
lenger ahead of Floyd Patter
son, No. 2, and Tommy (Hurri
cane) Jackson, No. 3, who held
WadnaidiT. August 29. 1S38
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN

New Orleans' big hope, Pas

opponent of Jackson in a pro
posed titled elimination bout.
Sugar Ray Reigns
Two well known middle
weights, Milo Savage and Rocky
Castellan! have been dropped
from the top 10 in that division
where champion Sugar Ray
Robinson still reigns and Gene
Fullmer is the No. 1 challenger.
Newcomer in the division was
Neal Rivers of Las Vegas, Nev.,
who decisioned Charley Joseph
of New Orleans, a third ranked
fighter from the Bayou city. Jo
seph dropped from fifth to sixth
because of the defeat, however.
Joey Giambra, also entered the

of his victory over Castellani.
Moore remained light heavy
weight champion and Gerhard
Hecht of Germany the No. 1
challenger, while in the welter
division Johnny Saxton as the
champ and Carmen Basilio as
top challenger preserved status
quo.
Miguel Berrios moved from
10th to sixth in the feather

champion and Raton Macias of
Mexico as the No. 1 challenger
again paced the bantamweights.

of water to fill completely an
average-size bathtub.
