I MedfordvWTribune Triples by Averill Spark Padre Victory By DON THACKREY United Press Sports Writer The heroes of Thursday's Pa cific Coast league action were a couple of guys who do most of their work with their caps on backwards. Catchers Eddie Sadowski of San Francisco and Earl Averill of San Diego laid down their big gloves and took up big bats to give their teams victories in games that saw little change in Were Inviting n To Our OPEN MOUSE Sat., April 208 a.m. -5 p.m. at 2232 Biddle Rd. (INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO.) poors Prizes - Refreshments While You See Our '57 Line of Trucks and Tractors as . . . International Hits 50th Year Fifty years of progress in International motor truck engi neering and production are represented by the original 1907 "IHC Auto Wagon" and the new "Golden Jubilee" light-duty pickup, one of the new International A-line of light, medium and heavy-duty motor trucks being introduced to the Med ford area by International Harvester Co., 2232 Biddle rd., Medford. The high-wheeled Auto Wagon's 20-horsepower two cylinder air-cooled engine compares with five gasoline and four LPG six-cylinder high-torque truck engines from 112 to 154 horsepower available for the new International models. While the Auto Wagon was built specifically for hauling produce from farm to market, new International trucks are offered in a wide variety of four and six-wheel and all-wheel-drive models for specialized and general truck ing applications. Golden Jubilee pickup, rated at 4.200 pounds gross vehicle weight, features a seven-foot custom pickup body, new Sweep-Around windshield with 1,181 square inch glass area and a new 65-inch wide custom cab which has the widest inside dimension of any comparable truck model. Wheelbase is 114 inches. Standard engine is rat ed at 112 horsepower and 154-horsepower engine is optional. the early season standings. Sadowski hit a three-run homer to spark a 6 to 1 Seal win over Seattle while Averill clout ed two triples as San Diego turn ed back Portland 4 to 1. Center fielder Len Green heroed Van couver's 7 to 2 win over Sacra mento while Los Angeles was taking the measure of Hollywood 3 to 1. . The wins by San Francisco and Vancouver kept those clubs tied for the league lead as Sacra mento dropped from fifth to seventh in the standings. Seals Struck Paydirt - Sadowski's blow came in the fifth frame after Seattle had spotted Red Munger, with a 1 to 0 lead in the top of the inning. The Seals, who cracked out 15 hits en route to the victory, con tinued the assault on Munger and veteran Harry Dorish kept the Rainiers away from pay dirt the rest of the way to record his second win. Averill, whose home run was the only score of the game Wed nesday continued his heavy clouting Thursday night at the expense of Portland pitching. His two three-batters gave him one run batted in and he scored two more to help Gene Lary to the victory. Lary needed help from Jim Grant in the eighth to gain his first pitching win of the season. Grant forced George Freese to hit into a double play to end a Portland scoring threat in the eighth, then fanned Jack Litt rell, Frank Ernaga and Dan Baich in the ninth to end the game. Run In Second The Padres scored a run in the second on one of Averill's triples and a single by Bill Moran. In the fourth, a single by Ed Kazak, Averill's second triple and a sacrifice fly by Moran brought in two more runs. The Padres made it 4-0 in the sixth when Stu Locklin doubled, went to third on a poor throw by Luis Marquez and scored on a single by Rudy Regalado. Portland's only tally came in the eighth inning on singles by Solly Drake and Bob McKee and a fly by Marquez. The Vancouver Mounties matched San Francisco's pace with a five-run uprising in the fifth inning that routed Cloyd Boyer and let George Bamber ger notch the win, the fifth in a row for the Mounties. Runs Unearned Green scored three times for the winners, hitting a single, a double and a triple. Both ' Sacramento runs off Bamberger were unearned al though they came in the third inning and gave the Solons a temporary 2-1 lead. The fireworks of matching long-ball hitting Dick Stuart of Hollwood against Steve Bilko of Los Angeles continued to fizzle. Stuartwas hitless in three at tempts and Bilko got a pair of singles in four tries. The Angels made it two in a row over their cross town rivals and dropped the Stars out of a virtual first place tie.

Big Punch Heaved At Arch Moore Grand Rapids, Mich. U.R) Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore feinted with his left Thursday night and National Boxing association President Floyd Stevens threw a haymaker right back, saying Moore will fight Tony Anthony or lose his title. "Moore will fight for the title on the day he's signed for the fight for it or we'll take the title away from him, that's all," Ste vens said. Moore, who is as handy or handier with words than he is with his aging arms, said in Essen, Germany, that he is de manding a $100,000 guarantee to meet Anthony. He added that he hasn't signed to fight the hand some Harlemite. But a contract was exhibited to newsmen in Detroit March 25 which Moore on hand had purportedly signed to meet the winner of the Anthony-Chuck Spieser fight June 7 at Detroit Olympia. "We've been very patient with him," Stevens said.- "As far as we're concerned he signed a binding contract.''
