Fanfare
It's still early in the collegiate
track and field season and Ed
Bingham, ex-Medford high jav
elin thrower now at University
of Oregon, should be considered
a definite threat to exceed the
234-foot IVi-inch school record
at Oregon set by Boyd Brown in
1939. Ed's 226-9V2 against Wash
ington last Saturday puts , him
within striking distance. The
next few weeks will indicate
whether he can throw up near
that distance consistently.
Bingham's Saturday cast was
the best of his life in addition to
setting a meet record. So far as
this writer can recall the 226-9 Vi
represents the best heave by a
Medford high product.
Oregon's May 4 meet with
Oregon State could mean an in
teresting duel between Bingham
and Don Clay. ex-Jacksonville
high, now at OSC.
SPOTLIGHT TAKEN
Jack Morris another x
Medford, won his 220-yard low
hurdls specialty for Oregon
against Washington Saturday
but Steve Onderson, the Ta
coman, has stolen the thunder
from Jack in his other main
race of last year, the century.
CORDY SETS MARK
Bingham, Morris, Dave New
land in the pole vault, Jeff Wil
liams in the distances and Jack
Moad in the shot put give Med
ford a representation of five men
on the Duck squad.
The Oregon State press book
lists Medford as the address of
three thinclads. However, only
one of the three, vaulter Benson
Foley, is ex-Medford high. Clay,
of course, was a Jacksonville
prepper and.'half-miler and Cliff
Cordy attended Crater high.
Cordy established a new meet
standard and school record in
the 880-yarder against Washing
ton State last week-end. His time
of 1:54.8 compared to the 1:57.1
he ran against Idaho the week
before.
TERRY. TWINK SHINE
Two Medford Cheney Studs
last summer are wielding po
tent bats for Oregon and Ore

team to a Friday triumph over

runs knocked in. Twink Ped
rson, Salem. Beaver short
stop helped the Orange win
cause against the Webfoots
Saturday with three hits. He
got two hits on Friday and
batted five for 10 for the two
days. Twink is pacing the

COPPLE, DEAKINS ON TEAM
Medford has players occupy
ing the No. 3 ami 4 spots on the
Oregon State college golf team
with Larry Copple and Warren
Deakins making the grade as
sophomores. Both won their sin
gles against U of O last Friday.
Deakins was on a winning best
ball duo with Leighton Tuttle,
ex-Eugene, and Copple combined
with Lee Grant to tie in a match.
Carole Jo Kabler, Sutherlui, the
Southern Oregon champ, is No.
1 on' the Oregon freshman team.
WRECK DELAYS
This department was a day
late in getting a Glendale-IUi-nois
Valley high baseball
game into print last week be
cause the Glendale scorebook
had been taken in a car which
was involved in a wreck.
LONG CONTEST
It would have been some mar

said that Medford high would" be

Mounts Up
PCL Lead;
Top Solons
By UNITED1 PRESS
Nobody believes it it isn't so.
But nevertheless, the lowly Van
couver Mounties are increasing j
their, lead in the Pacific Coast
League with each game.
Vancouver finished its seies
against Sacramento in devastat
ing fashion Monday night, wal
loping the Solons 6-1. The win
gave. the Mounties five games
out of six in their series with
Sacramento and put them two
games ahead of second place San
Francisco.
Streeter Helps
Vancouver played well against
the Solons, giving up only one
run in seven hits. But without
the help of Solon shortstop Jeri
Streeter the score might not
have been so lop-sided.
In the first, Streeter nabbed a
slow grounder by Buddy Peter
son but. threw it high to third to
let Len Green arrive safely from
second. Then Jim Marshall
stepped to the plate and calmly
slammed one over the left field
fence.
Vancouver made another three
run splurge in the ninth and
Streeter chalked up his second
error. With Cal Segrist and Jake
Crawford on, Owen Friend hit
a bounding ground ball which I
Streeter also heaved high. Mor
rie Martin, Mountie winning
pitcher, wrapped it up with a
double to center field.

By FRED DOWN

The man and the team who
produced the top slugging hero
ics of 1956 are off and running
at last today at the expense of
a pair of "jinx" pitchers.
Mickey Mantle, the American
League's triple crown winner,
connected for his first homer of
the season Monday night as the
New, York Yankees crushed the
Washington Senators, 15-6, with
a 16-hit barrage. Mantle's blow
came off southpaw Chuck Stobbs
who held Mickey to three
singles in 27 official times at bat
last season.
The Cincinnati Redlegs, mean

victory of 1957 when they de

10-6. The . Redlegs had 14 hits
and took advantage of six er

Trautman Optimistic
About Baseball War
With TV and Radio
Editor'c note: With the start of
another baseball t season, minor
league'baseball faces' the customary
post-war competition from tele
vision and radio among its other
problems of survival. George
Trautman, president of the National
Assn. of Professional Baseball
Leagues, is optimistic about the fu
ture, however. In the following dis
patch, he presents the reasons for
his optimism.
By GEORGE M. TRAUTMAN
Minor Leagues President
Written by United Press
Columbus, Ohio (U.R) I
think it is high time that the
people in baseball re-routed
those rtorm clouds and began to
get a little sunshine into their
thinking.
There is too much irrespon
sible talk, about how baseball
below the major league level is
dying on the vine, about how ra
dio and television broadcasting
are killing us at the gate, and
about how we need the $500,000
stabilization fund for survival.
Ticket Sales Up
Those statements simply are
not the truth. Throughout the
structure of the National Assn.
we have people who operate
their franchises as successfully
as the men who run teams in the
major leagues. We recently- com
pleted a survey of pre-season
ticket promotions and the results
are most encouraging. In city
after 'city sales were up substan
tially over the corresponding
period a year ago.
The indications are that base
ball at our level is due to make
a comeback perhaps a spectac
ular one. The reasons for that
are obvious.
Our people, keenly aware of

on how to sell the public.
A First-Class Product
We have a first-class product

baseball's big stars of tomorrow .
and they're young and eager,
hustling more perhaps than
some of today's big leaguers,

down a little on occasions be

In our communities the fans
are being sold on the idea that
the old ball park is the place to
go for wholesome fresh-air re
creation at a moderate price.
To be sure there are many
clubs which have their problems.
But we're scrappers. We're fight
ing back against the unfair com
petition of saturation radio
broadcasting of major league
games into our territory. We're
battling to retrieve our 21-inch
alumni, the living room fans
who left our parks temporarily
because of the lure of the ball
game on the TV set. And by in
