Medford?8,Tribune Seals Subdue Beavers 3-0 in PCL Starter By DON THACKERY United Press Sports Writer The Pacific Coast league open ed its 1957 season with a series of booms that included home run heroics by a pair of hitters and a crash by two infielders that may affect the pennant race. The bat heroes were Ray Or teig, whose grand slammer help ed Seattle to a 9-4 victory over Sacramento, and Dick Stuart, the brash young man with the large bat and the small glove, who clobbered two homers for Hollywood to give them a 4-1 win over. San Diego at night af ter the Padres had won easily in the day time. San Diego may have dealt Hollywood more damage with a pop fly, however. A blooper off the bat of Crawford Davidsori' sent infielders Dick Smith and Spook Jacobs smashing togeth er in the third inning of the first game and Smith fractured his jaw. Jacobs suffered possible fractures. Hitting and Pitching Los Angeles got three home runs good for four runs and beat Vancouver 4-2 while San Francisco was blanking Port land 3-0 on a fine four-hitter from 35-year-old youngster Har ry Dorish. Orteig's Clout only widened the gap in the Rainers' game with Sacramento as the Suds had already scored four runs and the SolOns spent the rest of the game trying to catch up. But it made it easy for Red Munger to notch his first victory of the year with his mates get ting him nine runs in the first four frames. Cloyd Boyer was the loser although it was Rex Jones who tossed the jeckpot ball to Orteig, the first batter he faced. San Diego clobbered Holly wood on Pete Mesa's three-hitter in the afternoon game at the same time that the Stars were running theif infield in the collision. In the second game Stuart, who hit 66 homers in the Western League last year, clouted number one for the PCL in the second and repeated in the sixth. Not His Fault Nobody was aboard either time, but Stuart, Who told the Pittsburgh Pirates he would be back to lead the majors, would be the first to tell you that was not his fault. Monte Irvin and Bob Barkow ski contributed homers to the Los Angeles cause in the win over Sacramento and Bob Dar nell, who hurled a six-hitter from the mound, also chipped in for his run total with a solo blast. The San Francisco Seatles got off to a perfect start by beating Portland in the loop's only shut out. Dorish, a fugitive from the Boston Red Sox, made his first start in three years and doled out only four hits to the Beav ers. Two of the Seal runs were un earned but the third tally would have been enough the way the chunky right-handed Dorish was baffling the Bevos. The Seals jumped off to a two run lead in the first inning when Albie Pearson was safe on a bad throw by shortstop Jack Littrell. Second baseman Harry Malmberg crashed a hit-and-run double to right field to score Pearson with the season's first run. Malmberg himself went to third as Grady Hatton was grounding out and came home on an infield out by Bill Renna. The third Seal run came ac ross the plate in the fifth inning when Joe Tanner walked and went to second as Dorish ground out. Pearson singled to right to bring Tanner home. LINESCORES: .

Ike To Throw Out 10 Millionth Major League Baseball Monday In Season Opener at Washington Washington (U.R) President than the National league did for Eisenhower now has his 1957 baseball season pass and, with it, some discouraging inside infor mation about his favorite team, the Washington Senators. Calvin Griffith, president of the Senators ball club, officially presented the President Thurs day with season passes for him self and Mrs. Eisenhower, at the same time he "signed up" the Chief Executive to throw out the first ball at Monday's opening game against Baltimore. New York President Eisen hower will throw out the 10 millionth major league ball when the season starts in Wash ington on April 15 according to estimates made by A. G. Spald ing and Bros., Inc., officials. Spalding has manufactured the National league ball under that name and the American league's Reach ball ever since the inception of the major leagues. Historically, the evolution of Hie baseball encompasses three stages. First it was all yarn wound, then it possessed a large rubber center, and currently it contains a cushion cork center, the latter process a miracle of manufacturing. Same Size The original 1876 baseball put out by Spalding this was long before the modern World Series involving both leagues was start ed in 1903 was the same size as today's spheroid, with, a cir cumference of 9 to 9Ji inches. The stitching on the ball in those early days was flatter than the modern and went around the ball, only about 75 per cent -of the way not all the way, as now. Weight of the major league balls, as propelled either by a Mickey Mantle or a Ted Klus zewski, is 5 to 5Vi ounces. The cover, in the days when Albert Goodwill Spalding, was not only a manufacturer, but manager, captain and pitcher of the championship Chicago team (he hurled 47 winning games in a ' season!) required 360 single stitches. Today, it demands 108 double stitches. Each ball is stitched by hand in about ten min--tes no machine has yet j ern major league baseball. Only Printing Different Technically, there is no dif- j ference at all between the base-1 balls Of each league. Only the printing on the cover is dif ferent. Early in organized baseball's modern career, a couple of base balls would suffic for a World Series ' game now the average total is up to 60. The same ratio applies to season totals the Brooklyn Dodgers a few years ago used 1,000 dozen, or more the entire season of 1876. While more baseballs are be ing used today, the milestone in which President Eisenhower will throw out the 10 millionth ma jor league baseball on April 15 dramatizes one unchanging point. Baseball is synonymous with the American spirit. Ten million major league baseballs and the untold millions who have watched and listened to the drama behind those base balls can't be wrong.

He will work with Herb Falken hayn, chief of the Illinois Val ley Rural Fire Protection Dis trict, from which the city re ceives its fire protection. ' Jack Spitz, building inspector, requested that the council draw up an ordinance placing the two streets on either side of Main st., Cave ave. and Hussey ave., into the business zone. At present no actual business zones have been outlined by ordinance. In a discussion of the proposed civic park on the Illinois river near Cave Junction, Falkenhayn pointed out that the government lease on the city dump in that area would be cancelled should such a park be developed. As sanitary engineer he asked about possibilities of closure to dump ing, but was told by Mayor Car rol Banks that no such plan was imminent. PICKUP and DELIVERY 15 Minute Service MEDFORD MUFFLER CO.
