Herb Score Suffers
Severe Injury to Eye
Cleveland (U.R) Herb Score,
the Cleveland Indians' "million
dollar" pitcher, was "resting com
fortably" in Lakeside hospital to
day with a severe eye injury that
doctors fear may have damaged
mis sight.
The brilliant, 23-year-old south
paw was struck in the right eye
by a line drive off the bat of Gil
McDougald of the New York
Yankees in the first inning of a
game Tuesday night at Municipal
stadium. The blow also fractured
Score's nose.
A 20-game winner with the
Indians last season and the lead
ing strikeout artist in the major
leagues for the past two years,
Score was reported in "satisfac
tory" condition early this morning.
'"There has been severe hemor
rhaging of the eye, but the exact
nature of the injury will not be
determined for a few days," said
Dr. C. W. Thomas, a Cleveland
eye specialist, who was called in
to examine Score by Dr. Don
Kelly, the Indians' team physic
ian. Kelly said Score "had some
light perception" when he exam
ined the tall left-hander and ad
mitted, "that's encouraging."
After being struck, Score fell
heavily to the ground with his
hands clasped over his face.
Blood streamed from his nose
and mouth, but he did not lose
consciousness. He was removed
from the field on a stretcher and
later was taken to the hospital.

Most of Leading Hardtop
Drivers Return For 1957
Nino Valdez,
Holman Mix
Portland, Ore. (U.R) A
couple of "old pros" of the fight
game, Nino Valdes and Johnny
Holman, collide here tonight i:i
a nationally-televised 10 - round
er and it may be the cross-roads
for them both.
Valdes, installed as a 16-5 fa
vorite, is 32 years old and is
ranked ninth nationally. But he
has been boxing for 15 years
and he needs this win to keep
h!is place among the challeng
ers for Floyd Patterson's heavy
weight crown.
The bulky Cuban has won
six in a row now, including
four straight knock-outs in Eur
ope. But the last time he was on
a national TV show he was
knocked out by Eddie Machen,
the No. 2 ranking heavyweight
but he was impressive in his
last outing here when he decis
ioned the South African giant,
Ewart Potgieter.
At least nine of the 10 top
drivers of last season are expect
ed to contend for 1957 honors
in hardtop auto racing at Valley
View speedway near Ashland.
Opening program of the cam
paign is set for this Saturday
night, May 11, with time trials
at 7 p.m. and the first race at
8 p.m.
Heading the list of the 1955
top racers whrare slated to re
turn is, of course, Crock Hunt
er, who was the track champion
with 409 points. .
The other leading drivers
were Wayne Lemley 336, Bob
Wilcox 289, Bob JenKins zbu,
Tohnnv Jones 250. Rusty Phil
lips 236, Lou Kurz 202, Fred
Arnberg 190, Allen uousman
189. Wavman Core 171, Neil
Wooldridge 168 and Bernie Mil
ler 151. It is anticipated that
all but Core will be on hand
this season.
Thp foreeoine racers may be
using their same numbers this
summer since that privilege is
reserved to the top 10.
Colley Starter
Track Manager Phil Bryant
has reported that J. D. (Jack)
Colley will be starter this sei
son. Gerald Pettit will be timer
and Ralph McGuire scorer. At.
nouncer will be Gregg MacDou-
gall.
There'll be -a new look about
for first night fans at the Valley
View track. The oval itself has
been improved and there'll be
a considerable change in ap
pearance of a number of the
cars.
A number of changes in rules
have been made. Most signifi
cant is in allowing cars to have
engines up to 280 cubic inches.
The regulation permits use of
most of the 1956 model motors
and coupled with track im
provements should make for fas
ter racing.
After last Sunday's open
house most of the drivers re
ported the track in fine shape
except for a couple of rougn
spots. These were being cared
for this week.
Itvhas been a slow winter in
the valley but things will be
speeded up Saturday for racing
enthusiasts.

Managers Irked
By Sugar Ray
Portland (U.R) Carmen
Basilio's managers sdid today
Sugar Ray Robinson had better
stop being coy about a July
fight between the two world
champions or what could be one
of the biggest box office attrac
tions in years might never come
off.
The welterweight champion
and his co-managers, Joe Netro
and John DeJohn, in Oregon for
a series of exhibitions, were irk
ed by statements in Chicago pa
pers that Sugar Ray would name
his own date for meeting Basil
io for Robinson's middleweight
crown.
Want July Bout
"We want to fight Robinson
in July and" Jim Norris of the
International Boxing club wants
to promote it then in Yankee
stadium, Netro said.
He waved a newspaper clip
ping which quoted one of Roo
inson's managers as saying a
September fight would be a
bigger draw.
'We're not going to be dom
inated by Robinson," said Netro,
'We don't need Robinson; he
needs us."

Talent Bills
Boxing Card
Talent Youth center will pre
sent another boxing show, on
Saturday evening, May 11, in
the new Talent High school
gym. A 15-bout fight card is
slated with boys of the Talent
club again opposing boxers from
the Medford Police Athletic
league coached by Jim Zack.
Don Cain, state police officer,
and Ed Benkowski, coaching the
Talent boys, say they are
pleased with the progress of
their boys since the last show.
They hope to see them cop most
of the matches this time.
This may be the last amateur
show of this season held in this
area.
The aim of these clubs is to
revive and stimulate interest in
amateur boxing in Southern
Oregon. Any profits that might
be derived from the promotion
of boxing matches will go into
the purchasing of additional and
newer equipment and in the
expansion of the club's pro
grams. It will also provide a re
creational center available
without charge to interested
boys and young men.
Casualties Still
Plague Giants
New York U.R) The New
York Giants, beset by injuries
since the start of spring train
ing, today were confronted with
two more casualties. T
Center fielder Willie Mays,
bothered by a persistent virus
attack, was taken to a hospital
Tuesday for a complete check
up, while right fielder Don
Mueller was sidelined with a
groin injury.
Mueller was expected to re
turn to the lineup for today's
game against the St. Louis Car
dinals, but Mays probably will
have to remain in the hospital
at least until the week end se
ries against the Dodgers.
