TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Roberts Records 4-2 Decision With 3-Mitter, 13 Strikeouts By FRED DOWN Uniled Press Sports Writer It's plain today those obituar ies' of Robin Roberts' demise as a start pitcher were somewhat premature. Three straight losses this year on top of last season's so-so 19 18 record had the experts count ing Robin "out," but the burly Philadelphia Phillies' righthand er proved Thursday night he's still "got it" with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs in which he allowed only three hits and struck out 13. The strike out to-' tal was the highest of Robin's personal career and established a major league high for the cur rent campaign. Roberts, who had a 4.33 earn ed run average after losing his first three starts, retired the first 12 batters to face him and MEOFORsUTRIBUlfE sipctDinrs Vancouver Spot Knot Edqe in 16 By DON THACKREY Uniled Press Sports Writer The Vancouver Mounties were supposed to be ducksoup for their Pacific Coast league op ponents this year, but they have been changing the diet to goose eggs. Thursday night the Mounties blanked San Diego in 15 out of 16 innings and came off with a 5-4 victory that put them in a first place tie with Los Angeles and Hollywood. The latter two clubs continued to dance in a circle, Hollywood winning 4-3. Seattle moved into a virtual tie with all three top spotters by dumping San Francisco 8-4 while Sacramento sat and watch ed it rain in Portland. It took Vancouver nearly four hours to win the game with the Padres after the Mounties ap peared to have the. game sewed up early. A 4-0 Vancouver lead vanished in the top of the ninth when Dave Pope hit a three-run homer and Stu Locklin followed with a solo blast. All Goose Eggs From then on it was all goose eggs until the bottom of the 16th when Jim Marshall singled and was sacrified to second. Then Jake Crawford whipped out a single that won the game for the Mounties.

Dale Long, acquired from the Pitts burgh Pirates Wednesday, broke the spell with a homer in the fifth and Lee Walls, obtained in the same trade, knocked in Chi cago's other run with a triple in the seventh. Braves Keep Rolling The Milwaukee Braves took a two game hold on first place with an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, the St. Louis Cardinals scored a 3-2 win over the Brooklyn Dodgers in a four- hour and 45-minute, 16-inning marathon and the Cincinnati Redlegs downed the New. York Giants, 9-7, in the other Nation al league games. In the American league, the Chicago White Sox made it 10 victories in 12 games with a 6-1 decision over the Washington Gains Top With 5-4 Stanzas ed from the 12th on, took the win and Mudcat Grant, who took over in the eighth, was the loser. Hollywood likewise almost blew a 4-0 lead and San Fran cisco did. Hollywood had the Angels down by that score in the bot tom of the ninth when last year's winners came to life with three runs. Hugh Pepper came to the relief of winner Ben Daniels and pitched out of the inning. Orteig Blasts 'Em - San Francisco led Seattle 4-0 going into the bottom of the fifth, but the Rainiers tied if in that frame and went on to win it. Catcher Ray Orteig whacked a triple and two doubles and drove in four of the Rainier runs while Marion Fricano came to the relief of Gene Hayden in the fifth and blanked the Seals for the remainder of the contest. Leo Kiley took the loss for San Francisco as the Rainiers slugged out 13 hits off -him and reliefer Walt Masterson. The night's action left the An gels' Stars and Mounties with 13-7 records on top of the heap and Seattle only percentage points behind with 14 wins and eight losses.

TROPHY TO HARVEY Montreal U.R) Doug Har vey of the Montreal Canadiens, who is fast gaining recognition as one of hockey's all-time great defensemen, today was named winner of the Norris trophy for the third straight year. The Nor ris trophy, awarded to the best defenseman in the National Hockey league, is the newest of the major prizes given each year. This was only the fourth year it has been in competition. CALL FOR LUGER'S Friday. May 8, 195T Senators, the New York Yanks beat the Kansas City Athletics, 3-1 and the Detroit Tigers downed the Boston Red Sox, 7-5. Baltimore and Cleveland were idle. A lOth-inning error by Pitts burgh shortstop Gene Baker, ob tained in the deal with the Cubs, set up a three-run rally that car ried the Braves to their 11th win in 13 games. Hank Aaron had five hits in six tries as Lew Burdette won his third game of the year with relief aid from Red Murff. Johnny Powers tied the game in the ninth with a three-run pich hit homer. Don Blasingame singled home Eddie Miksis in the 16th to give the Cardinals their marathon win over Brooklyn and their fifth consecutive triumph. Her man Wehmeier went the first 12 innings for the Cardinals before giving way to winner Larry Jackson. Don Hoak, who set a major league mark by striking out six times a year ago May 2, drove in five runs with four hits in Cincinnati's third straight vic tory. Hoak's fourth hit, a single through a drawn -in infield, knocked in the two ninth-inning runs that gave the Redlegs the decision. Walt Dropo's grand-slam hom er was the big blow for the White Sox as Dick Donovan went the distance with a five hitter for his first win. Dropo's blow came after a homer by Roy Sievers produced a 1-1 second inning tie and dealt Chuck Stobbs his fourth straight loss of the year. The Yankees took over second place in the A.L. when Tom Sturdivant scattered seven hits. The world champions scored their winning runs in the third on rookie Tom Kubek's triple, a walk to Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra's sacrifice fly and Bill Skowron's single. Rookie Don Lee gained his first major league victory for Detroit with the aid of a three run homer by Charley Maxwell that featured a five run fourth- inning uprising. Tom Brewer suffered his . second loss of the year for the Red Sox, who played without the services of slugger Ted Williams, confined to his hotel room with a cold.

Smith's only bad streak of wildness con tributed to the lone Crater run in the same canto.
