Redlegs Close Gap With 12-2
Verdict Over Braves; Dodgers
Defeat Pittsburgh Crew 4-2
By FRED DOWN singled home Red Schoendienst
United Presi Sporti Writtr in the 10th to give the New York
The Cincinnati Redlegs must j Giants a 5-4 win over the Phila
do it the hard way if they're j delphia Phillies. Jackie Brandt
destined to become the "lucky i knocked in three runs with a
13th" team to rise from the sec
ond division to a pennant.
The fighting Redlegs moved
to within IV? games of the Na
tional league lead when they
made it three out of four over
the front-running Milwaukee
Braves, 12-2. Wednesday but
the big test is just ahead. They
will be on the road for their next
13 games and it's on the road
that the experts say they can't
win.
So far. the figures support the
experts. The Redlegs have a 32
'29 mark on the road and they'll
have to do a lot better than that
to win. But they're fresh from
those three straight victories
over the Braves and confident
they'll come out on top in the
three-team scramble.
"It's a three-team race and
we're up there to stay," said
Manager Birdie Tebbetts, sound
ing the keynote. "They've been
counting us out for the last four
months but we're not dead yet."
Kayo Werren Spahn
The Redlegs kayoed Warren
Spahn with five runs in the sec
ond inning Wednesday and went
on to bang out 15 hits as ' they
ruined the veteran southpaw's
bid for his 200th win. Alex
Grammas knocked in four runs
with three hits. Frank Robinson
hit a two-run triple and Johnny
Temple and Roy McMillan had
two hits each in the bombard
ment. Hershel Freeman, who
yielded one hit in a 4 13 innings
of relief beat the Braves for the
second straight day and raised
his season's record to 13-4.
Sal Maglie. aided by Don Bes
sent in the ninth, won his ninth
decision as the Brooklyn Dodg
ers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates,
4-3, and stayed only a half game
behind the Redlegs. Duke Sni
der walloped his 38th homer and
Gil Hodges His 26th to lead the
Dodger attack.

Good Balance Feature
Of Duck Grid Squad
(This is .the firil in a scries
of articles dealing with foot
ball prospects ot major college
teams on the West Coast ior
1956.)
Eugene, Ore. (U.P.) Oregon
Coach Len Casanova gave the
Ducks some new offensive ma
neuvers to work on at Wednes
day's drill.
"We aren't changing anything
drastically," Casanova said, "but
merely adding some new tricks
here and there and also doing
some changing as the result of
things we learned from studying
last year's pictures."
Eugene (U.R) Coach Len
Casanova, a believer in the old
school of hard tackling and hard
blocking, may put University of
Oregon back on the football map
this fall.
The Webfoots. pushed around
for nearly a decade, have come
up with some of the best balance
in the Pacific Coast Conference
and right now the outlook is
bright.
Coach Casanova has 20 return
ing lettermen, evenly distributed
at each position. He has three
ends, three tackles, four guards,
two centers, two quarterbacks,
four halfbacks and two fullbacks
with experience. These boys,
with the help of seven lettermen
who have been graduated, won
six and lost four last year.
The lad who must carry the
offensive burden for the Ducks
is Jim Shanley, a 170-pound
junior halfback from North
Bend. Ore. Shanley gained 711
yards from rushing as a sopho
more last year and the prospects
for this year are even brighter.
Weakness in Lin
But to get Shanley into the
open Casanova will have to
build a solid line.
"Right now I'm worried about
the tackle and center positions,"
says Casanova. "We lost Lon
Stiner and Harry Johnson from
the tackle posts and while we
have lettermen there, they lack
the experience. At center we
have Nick Markulis and Norm
Chapman returning. Markulis
was a linebacker and Chapman,
a good blocker, is the only man
Uwith offensive experience.
The experienced ends are
Capt. Phil McHugh, J. C. Wheel
er and Bill Tarrow. But the
finest prospect on the club may
be Ron Stover, coming up from
the frosh squad. McHugh prob
ably will nail down one spot,
while Stover would win the
other.
Along with Shanley in the
backfield will be Jack Brown
at halfback: Jack Morris, a
sprinting fullback, and Tom
Crabtree at quarter.
They'll make the split-T

more Orioles, 2-0, in the only
other AL game. It was the first
shutout of the year by a Wash

Tough Schedule
The problem then drops down
to the defense. Loss of Dick
James in the backfield hurts
this department. But Casanova
is grooming Len Reed, up from
the 1954 frosh team, for that inv
portant spot in defending against
aerials.
The Webfoots have a tough
schedule this year, and made
tougher by the fact that they
play six of their 10 games on the
road. The rugged part of the
slate comes in the middle when
the club tangles with UCLA,
Washington, Stanford, Pitts
burgh and California in a row,
with all these except the Stan
ford game on the road.
The complete schedule: Sept.

Since no American has been able
to whip a top Australian in the
U.S. tennis championship, Aus
sie tiUeholder Lew Hoad went
out today to do the job himself
in a quarter-final match against
one of his sharp-shooting coun
trymen, Roy Emerson.
Five Aussies and only four
Americans still were in the run
ning for the title Tony Trabert
carried off last year but one of
those Yanks was on the verge of
being knocked out.
When darkness fell Wednes
day night, Neale Fraser of Aus
tralia had a 2-1 lead in sets and
an 8-8 tie in the fourth set
against Gil Shea of Los Angeles.
They were scheduled to play it
off today. ,
In addition to Shea, the other
surviving Americans were Vic

all of whom made it safely into

Trimble, Vaides Chalk Up
Sharp PCL Pitching Jobs
By john Mcdonald
United Press Sports Writer
i Hollywood's Joe Trimble and
big-winner Rene Vaides of Port
land came in with two of the
neatest pitching jobs of the Pa
cific Coast league season Wed
nesday night and Trimble
came as close as anyone all year
to the elusive no-hitter.
The Stars' big right-hander
held San Diego hitless for seven
innings before giving up three
safeties in the last two frames
for a 7-0 shutout. Vaides was
swift and sharp in blanking
Seattle on four hits and the Bea
vers backed him with a 15-hit
attack for a 9-0, victory.
In other games, the Los An
geles Angels clubbed Vancouver
9-1 and the Sacramento Solons
made it two straight over San
Francisco with a 6-3 win.
Pitchers Are Funny
Pitchers are funny when they
have a no-hitter going in the late
innings.
Afterward, some will tell you
they didn't even know it. Some
will say they didn't much care
that winning the ball game was
