EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wtdnndar. July 3. 1957 Cincinnati Takes Over In National; McDaniel Victor By MILTON RICHMAN United Prass Sporti Writer Rookie Van McDaniel, a S50, BQO investment by the St. Louis Cardinals, already has paid off with a more spectacular big league beginning than even Bob Feller. When Feller broke in as an awkward 17-year-old with Cleve land back in 1936. he had a 5-3 record in his first season and a 8.34 earned run average. The 18-year-old McDaniel, paid a $50,000 bonus upon his high school graduation five weeks ago, already has .a 4 0 record with the Cards and a 1.50 earned run average that is helping them horn in on the National league lead again. McDaniel retired the first 18 Milwaukee batters in a row on Tuesday night in posting a 4-2 victory that moved St. Louis within a game of first place. Accustomed to pitching only seven innings in high school the Cardinal rookie yieldedfour hits and two runs in the seventh and was replaced by veteran Hoyt Wilhelm in the eighth when he gave up another hit. Hedlagi Tak NL Lead Cincinnati took over first place from the Braves by de feating the Cubs 8-6, in 10 in nings, and the Dodgers blanked the Giants. 6-0. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were not sched uled. The Yankees maintained their two-game lead in the American league race with an 11-inning 6-4 victory over thee Orioles; the White Sox beat the Tigers, 4-2, and Boston moved into third place with a 2-1 decision over Washington. Cleveland and Kan sas City were idle. Doubles by George Crowe and Don Hoak coupled with three walks gave the Redlegs their two runs in the 10th that beat Chicago. Cincinnati hopped on starter Don Kaiser for five runs In the second inning with the help of a grandslam homer by Wally Post but homers by Lee Walls and Ernie Banks enabled Chicago to tie the score. Raul Sanchez was the winner. Forty-year-old Sal Maglie pitching his first complete game since the season opener, limit ed the Giants to four hits as the Dodgers put together three-run rallies in the third and sixth Innings. Errors by shortstop An dre Rogers and catcher Wes Wes slrum set up Brooklyn's first rally while Elmer Valo's triple nd Carl Furillo's double fea tured the sixth inning assault. McDougald Paces Yanks Gil McDougald's two-run double off George Zuverink with two out in the 11th enabled southpaw Whitey Ford to post his second victory in relief for the Yankees in as many days. The victory was the Yanks' sixth in a row and it came after they had trailed 3-0 until the sev enth. Frank Lary of Detroit led 2 1 until the eighth inning when Larry Doby clouted a three-run homer into the left field stands to give the White Sox their vic tory. Southpaw Billy Pierce pitched a five-hitter for his 11th triumph but fell behind when Frank Boiling homered in the seventh. Catcher Sammy White droe In both Boston runs as the Red Sox subdued the Senators even though being held to three hits by Camilo Pascual and Russ Kemmerer. White's fifth Inning single tied thee scoree at 1-all and his sacrifice fly brought tn Jackie Jensen with the winnin : run in the seventh. Big Frank Sullivan gave up six hits and struck out seven to register his seventh victory. 1 lNFSCORFS: Amrrtran Leajjue Washington IW1 Ono OOO 1 0 Boston 000 010 lOx 2 3 0 Pascual Kemmerer iBt and Ber beret.

ISO1., Dearborn. Mich. i6t. Stay Given In IBC Case New York (IP) Boxing men were genuinely surprised today at Jim Norris' uncertainty about appealing Federal Judge Sylvester J. Ryan's final mono poly judgment to the U.S. Su preme Court. Both Norris and his chief de fense attorney, Kenneth C. Roy- all, stressed the possiility of no appeal luesday night, after Judge Ryan had filed the judg ment, designed to break up the international Boxing club s title fight monopoly. Previously Norris had stated he "certainly" would apeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in case of an adverse verdict. Automatic Anyway, Judge Ryan granted their request for a stay of en forcement of his judgment until Nov. 1, in case of an appeal. Should the Supreme Court grant a review of the case, the stay of enforcement would automa tically be extended until a de cision was reached. Ordering Norris and partner Arthur Wirtz divorced complete ly from Madison Square Gar den, Judge Ryan apointed two trustees to hold all stock in the Garden Corp. owned or control led by Norris and Wirtz, while it was being sold over a period that could stretch to seven years if necessary. The IBC's of New York and Illinois were ordered to dissolve immediately after the judgment becomes effective. League Leaders (Bt Initrd Press) NATIONAL I.EAGLE Player - Club G. AB R. H. Fondy.

Jack Littrell Has Trouble With Hitting Br ED SAINSBURY United Press Sporti Writer Chicago HP) Jack Littrell does everything in major league fashion, except hit. That's why the new Chicago Cubs shortstop tries something new every time he steps to the plate with a bat, and why he works overtime in the practice cage. 'I hit real well the last half of the season with Portland last year," he said. "Must have hit about .350 with about 18 home runs. But I don't have movies of what I did then, and I've tried to hit the same way here that did there, and it doesn't feel natural." littrell, 28, said he used a closed stance when he had his hitting splurge with Portland to finish the season with a .307 bat ting average, the only time he's been over .300 in nine years of professional baseball. "I don't know why it hasn't worked here," he said. "I've tried to open my stance for a few games and then go back to the closed stance, but it hasn't worked yet. If I ever get to feel ing natural, I'm sure I'll hit." Top Grade Cubs Manager Bob Scheffing rates Littrell as top grade in all phases except with the bat. "He's got a good arm and can make a good throw. He's fast, and he makes all the plays at shortstop. And he's thinking too. He won't hurt you in the field. But I wish he'd hit better." Scheffing has been working with Littrell on his batting whenever he gets a chance. But that's rare. "He can hit a long ball when he's right," said Scheffing, who managed in the Pacific Coast league himself last year and saw Littrell when he was hot. Lit trell last week got his first ma jor league home run against Pittsburgh, but his average with the Cubs has hovered around .200. Despite his failure with the bat, Littrell hasn't pulled down the wrath of either the Cub fans or the baseball writers. They respect him for his fielding and he gets cheers frequently for his play in the field. But when he comes to bat in late innings with men on base and the Cubs behind, Scheffing usually puts in a pinch hitter, and nobody questions his judgment. S3Mfrs' - HI Beavers Obtain Wise From Cubs Portland im The Portland Beavers have received infielder Casey Wise on option from the Chicago Cubs on a 24-hour recall basis. Wise played with the pennant - inning Los Angeles team last season and has been a utility fielder for the Cubs this year. He was a second baseman prior to last season. Portland officials said Wise was driving west ana was ex pected to arrive in Portland next Tuesday. TOO LATE Senator shortstop Milt Boiling (right) slides into third on one knee, but is too late as Chicago White Sox third baseman Bubba Phillips makes the out in fifth inning of the first game of a doubleheader in Washington. The Sox took the first game 7-6, but lost the second 11-9. t Alston Picks Five Braves For National Loop Squad Cincinnati (IP) Walt Alston shooting for his second straight All-Star victory, placed more faith today in the Milwaukee Braves than he did in his own Brooklyn Dodgers. Alston picked five Milwaukee players for his National league All-Star team which meets the American league at St. Louis, July 9, while selecting only three players from his Brooklyn roster. The Milwaukee players Al ston chose were pitchers Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette and infielders Eddie Mathews, John ny Logan and Al (Red) Schoen- dienst. Outfielder Hank Aaron was on the starting team so that gave the Braves six players on the squad. Labina Chosen From his own club, Alston named pitcher Clem Labine, first baseman Gil Hodges and outfielder Gino Cimoli. Alston rounded out his pitch ing staff with lefthanders Curt Simmons of the Phillies and Johnny Antonelli of the Giants, and righthanders Larry Jackson of the Cardinals and Jack San ford of the Phillies. Pat McMurtry Agrees To Fight With Bobo Olson Tacoma (IPl Heavyweight Pat McMurtry of Tacoma has agreed to fight former middle weight champion Bobo Olson, now fighting as a light-heavy weight, in a 10-round match at Portland, Ore., Aug. 12, Mc- Murtry's manager announced to day. Olson recently defeated form er light-heavyweight champion Joe Maxim in a 10-round bout at Portland, and McMurtry won a unanimous decision from How ard King, Reno, Nev., June 24 at Oakland.

With five Cincinnati players in the starting lineup already on the strength of votes they polled from the fans, Alston named one more member of the Redlegs to his team, outfielder Gus Bell. Bell was one of the Cincinnati players "dropped" from the NL team last week by Commissioner Ford Frick because he felt a last-minute avalanche of Cin cinnati votes that produced seven Redleg starters was not a "typical" All-Star team. Musial at First The five Cincy starters will be second baseman Johnny Tem ple, third baseman Don Hoak, shortstop Roy McMillan, out fielder Frank Robinson and catcher Ed Bailey. The remainder of the starting team will have Stan Musial of the Cardinals playing first base in his 14th All-Star game; Willie Mays of the Giants in center field, and Aaron in right field. To help Bailey with the catch ing chores, Alston chose Hal Smith of the Cardinals and Hank Foiles of the Pirates. Alston also selected infielder Ernie Banks of the Cubs and outfielder Wally Moon of the Cardinals. NORTHERN ALL-STARS WIN IN PCL ATTRACTION Los Angeles (If) Northern invaders were out-hit but man aged to ease over the host South ern squad, 3-1, Tuesday night in the annual Pacific Coast league All-Star game at Wrigley field. The win broke the Southern ers' firm hold on the rival series as they went into the game as traditional favorites, boasting seven victories in nine previous All-Star games. Vancouver's Morrie Martin, the first of five Northern pitch ers, hurled the first two innings and was credited with the vic tory. The North used four hurl ers with starter Bennie Daniels, the Hollywood mound ace, get ting slapped with the loss. Two Home Runs The Southerners picked up eight hits while the North clout ed six. However, the South left six men stranded on the bags while the North had only two left on the bases. The tight-scoring game wit nessed by 6,417 fans was high lighted by two home runs. Port land's Ed Mickelson belted a four bagger for the North with no one on in the fifth, while Earl Averell of San Dipsrn eave the South its only tally by hitting Keam, the Giants. the ball over the leftfield wall in the eighth inning. The North led off the scoring in the second when Joe Taylor took advantage of an error on second baseman George Ander son to score an unearned tally from third.
