TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. August 29. 195B , Redlegs Bless, Braves Cuss Homers; Mantle Raps No. 45 By MILTON RICHMAN United Pre Sports Writer Cincinnati's power - packed Redlegs, on their way to a new major league record, blessed the all mighty home run today while the Milwaukee Braves cussed it for shaving their Na tional league lead to IVi games. To add to the general home ran turmoil, Mickey Mantle clouted his 45th Tuesday night to move five games ahead of Babe Ruth's record pace in a 4-0 victory by the Yankees over the Athletics. The Redlegs Really hit the home run jackpot in their 11-1 romp over the Giants. Rookie Frank Robinson hit two, and Ed Bailey contributed a three run homer to help Joe Nuxhall coast to his 10th triumph. Robinson's two homers gave him a total of 34, only four short of the rookie record se by Wally Berger of the Boston Braves in 1930. The Redlegs, with a .total of 189 homers so far. are now seven home runs ahead of the Giants' pace of 1947 when the Polo Grounders set the all-time major league mark of 221. Pirates Rebound Dale Long's three-run homer in the seventh inning broke the backs of the Braves and figured prominently in the Pirates' come - from - behind 5-4 victory. Until the seventh, veteran War ren Spahn had a 4-0 lead, thanks to a pair of homers by Eddie Mathews. Then the roof fell in with Long's 25th homer highlighting a four-run rally that tied the score. Dick Groat supplied the clincher in the eighlh when he singled off loser Bob Trow bridge to bring home Frank Thomas with the winning run. The defeat left the Braves only a game and a half ahead of the second-place Dodgers, who divided a doubleheader with the Cubs. Brooklyn rallied for three runs in the' ninth to win the opener, 6-4, but Chicago took the nightcap, limited tb 7'i in nings by darkness, 4-3. Newcomba Wins 21st- Singles by Carl Furillo and Jackie Robinson featured the Dodgers' winning rally in the opener as Don Newcombe regis tered his 21st victory in relief. The Cubs decided the nightcap with two runs in the seventh on Gene Baker's homer and Hobie Landrith's walk with the bases loaded. ' Home runs by Marv Blaylock, Solly Hemus and Del Ennis gave the Phillies a 6-4 victory over the Cardinals. Southpaw Curt Simmons overcame an unsteady start to post his 11th victory. Mantle's homer, a three-run job off Art Ditmar in the third in ning, was the payoff blow in the Yankees' victory over Kan fas City. The game, halted after six innings by rain, also featured Bob Turley's two-run pitching, good for his eighth victory against three defeats. By winning, the Yanks went eight games ahead of the second. place Indians, who fell before Ray Moore of Baltimore, 1-0. Tosses Four-Hitter Moore tossed a four-hitter to edge rookie southpaw Hank Aguirre in a pitching duel that -was decided in the first inning when Bob Boyd singled, took second on a balk and came home on Bob Nieman's double. Minnie Minoso's two-run hom er in the eighth inning gave the MEDFORDSeTRIBUNE SIPdDIRTrS White Sox a 5-3 decision in the second half of a twi-night dou bleheader after the Senators took the first game, 6-2, with the help of homers by Herb Plews and Clint Courtney. Al Kaline, beginning to look like his old self again after an early-season slump, drove in three runs with a triple and his 24th homer in leading the De troit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

LONG United Press Sports Writer The Salem Senators once again are breathing hot on the necks of the Yakima Bears in the second-half Northwest league pennant race thanks to the hit ting of Chuck Essigian and the generosity of the Lewiston pitch ing staff. Essigian collected three hits in four times at bat last night, in cluding a three-run home run as he led Salem to a 20-9 victory over Lewiston. The win hoisted Salem to within a half game Jf the league-leading Bears. But four Lewiston pitchers helped the Senators' cause by issuing 14 walks. Bob Wads worth who was relieved in the third inning by Bob Roberts was charged with the loss, and Jerry Cade was the winning pitcher. Sampson Booms Spokane, with Jim Sampson's booming bat showing the way, climbed into third place by sweeping a double-header from Eugene, 4-3 and 9-6. Sampson drove in two runs with a home run and a single in the opener, then personally accounted for all nine Spokane runs in the nightcap. He hit one out of the park in the third inning with two men on, and doubled in two more runs in the eighth. Just to make the evening complete, Sampson scored the other four runs him self. Wenatchee clubbed Tri-City deeper into the cellar as the Chiefs pounded two Tri-City pitchers for 1C hits to win, 11-3. Bob Duretto paced the Wenat chee attack with a homer, double and two singles, driving in six runs and scoring three himself. New York 001 000 000 1 11 2 Cincinnati 305 000 30x 11 14 1 Gomez.

STEVENS AUTO SALES, INC. 505 North Ctntral "Your Friendly Dealer" Phone 3-3655 Small Grid Turnout at Crater High Central Point Crater High school's football turnout is the smallest since the school first opened its door six years ago but the Comets appear to be tak ing their rise into A-l classifica tion in stride as twice per day drills are held. There's every indication that the Crater crew does not intend to wind up in first place. Crater head mentor, Leonard Warren and his staff have issued suits to 36 prospective gridders, including 12 lettermen, and the top turnout for a single practice has been 31. Warren reported that this small group seems to like the idea of going from A-2 into A-l. "Generally speaking their attitude is really good. They're showing lots of spirit and hustling all the time," he declared. The coach feels the Comets will give a good account of them selves unless some of the key players get hurt. So far as sub stitution depth is concerned, the club at this time looks "awfully thin." There are six two-year letter men on the squad. They are Dick Davis and Dave Parker, tackles; Carl Koellner, end; Don Hub bard, guard, and George Juve land and Don Goyette, backs. Other monogram wearers are Gerald Kime end; Bill Morse and Roger Seaman, guards; Neil Green, center, and Wayne Allen. Bob Elden, Lee Gossett and Ron Harrison, backs. Green is almost a two-year letterman. Twelve of the lettermen have been on hand since Hubbard and Kime have been working. Davis, who accidently cut his eye last week end. has had limited drill.

Practice for Allen has been even more limited since he is just over a siege, of infectious hepa titis. Also on the squad 'is a letter man lineman transfer from Phoe nix, Jim Goldenpenny. Good Weight In Line The Comets should have some good weight in the line with Davis, Parker and Morse around 190 and Green about 195 pounds. Koellner, Kime and Hubbard weigh about 165 and Seaman about 160. A light backfield is in prospect with Juveland heav iest among lettermen at 170. Allen and Elden are around 145 and Goyette about 135. The small squad is compen sated by the largest football coaching staff at the school. War ren has Clarence Mellbye as line coach and Ed Knapp and Ron Lamb as assistant. Bill Piche and Jim Nau. freshman tutors, are now working with the varsity and Piche may continue to de vote considerable time to the main string. The number of coaches with the small group has enabled the staff to accomplish much and faster than normal progress has been made. It is planned to start scrimmages Wednesday evening. Workouts have been at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Lamb. Piche and Jim Nau are new to Crater. Lamb played foot ball at University of Southern California and was graduated from Southern Oregon college while Nau and Piche .are ex Oegon Staters. Piche is an ex Medford high athlete and also attended Linfield college. ROSEBURG NIPS PHOENIX 4-3 IN LEGION SECTION TUSSLE Billings, Mont.
