Tfcg MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday July 1957 Ess a.timore Moves Into First ivision of American League 7 MILTON RICHMAN U&tco Press SporU Writer Typographic error, my eye! That's really the Baltimore Orioles right up there in the first division today, and it's the first time they have ever been that high this late in the season since they entered the Ameri can league. The amazing Orioles reached the lofty region of fourth place Thursday night by sweeping a twi-night double-header from the fading Indians by the scores of 5-4 and 5-4 (no typo, either, the first going 11 innings. Pilot Paul Richards, who makes the tje moves no other manager will dare, gave a Hou-dini-like exhibition in an all-out effort to crash the first division. O He jornked starter Ray Moore in the seventh inning of the first game even though the score was tied and he had two strikes on Roger Maris. Ken Lehman completed the strikeout but he nedded help from George Zuverink in the last of the 11th after the Orioles had scored two runs in the top of the frame on singles by Gus Triandos and Jim Busby. Zuverink Appears Twice Then, in the nightcap, Rich ards pulled out Bill Wight in the third inning even though Baltimore had built a 5-0 lead off Bob Lemon. He again called in Zuverink, who gained his eighth victory, and when the hard-working Zuverink weak ened in the eighth, Richards led with his ace, Billy Loes. All that masterminding paid off in theN Orioles' 14th victory in their last 20 games. They are now a half-game ahead of both i Cleveland and Detroit, and only three games behind the third place Red Sox. who defeated the i Tigers Thursday, 9-7. The Yan kees padded their league lead ;to 3'.2 games when Mickey Mantle's 23rd home run in the jllth inning produced a 3-2 triumph over Kansas City, and i Washington rallied for two runs in the ninth to beat the second place White Sox, 6-5. The Phillies took over second 'place in the National league by capturing a twi-night twin bill 'from the Cubs, winning the 11 i inning opener, 1-0, and the finale, 3-1. The Giants defeated the Cardinals, 1-0; Brooklyn edged Cincinnati. 5-4, in a game marked by fist fights, and Mil waukee beat Pittsburgh, 7-2. The Dodgers came from be hind to defeat the Redlegs when Duke Snider hit his second home run of the game with one on in the seventh inning off Tom Acker. Snider's second homer came shortly after a flare up between Cincy pitcher Raul Sanchez and Dodger infielder Junior Gilliam that precipitated an even livelier fist fight between Charley Neal and Don Hoak. The whole fuss started when Gilliam felt San chez had thrown a pitch too close to him. Milwaukee 0O0 400 0127 12 2 Plttstaurcn .. 100 100 000 2 12 6 Trowondge (3-1) and Crandall. Friend.

Beavers Drop 13th; Pads Look at Second Br JIM HEALY United Prs Sports Writer The Portland " Beavers now have a 13 game streak all losses. And San Diego, which handed the Beavers their last three, is looking with green eyes at the suddenly shaky num ber two spot held by Vancouver. The Pads roughed up Port land, 10-4, Thursday night while Sacramento handed the Moun- Avery Pans U.S. State Department Santa Barbara, Calif. rtfl Avery Brundage, president of the International Olympic com mittee, declared today the United States "might as well re tire from all Olympic affairs" if the U.S. State department keeps athletes or their repre sentatives from visiting certain countries. " At the same time, he said he believed the committee would take the scheduled winter games away from Squaw Valley, Calif., unless all countries, including Bulgaria-Arid Red China, are permitted to send delegations to the Northern California meet. Brundage made the state ments when questioned concern ing speculation on whether he might be forced to quit as the first American elected president of the International Olympic committee in event the State de partment travel ban regarding Iron Curtain countries prevents his attending the committee's annual meeting set for Septem ber in Bulgaria. No Answer He said he recently requested State department permission to attend the meeting but that it was too early to have received an answer. He said if he was denied per mission, "the committee might not want to have a president who couldn't operate and take care of his responsibilities and duties." "'I just got back from Europe and every newspaper there wanted to know whether I would be permitted to attend the Bulgaria meeting." he said. "There have been many rumors that U.S. citizens would not be permitted to go since our pass ports are not valid in Bulgaria."

He was joined In the semis by John Lynch. Ernie Jonson and Billv Warner. ties a 5-3 loss. This combination put San Diego within a half a game of second place Vancou ver. The Pads got down- to busi ness early, banging out seven runs in the first three innings, one of which was a two run homer by Ed Gasque, the mac who pitched and won. San Diego added three more runs in the"" seventh frame for good measure on two singles and a double by Preston Ward, who incidentally homered in the third with none on. t Ed Mickelson and Frank Cars well kept Portland in the game in the first inning with two runs. In the seventh, with the game pretty well decided, Mick elson doubled in two runs in a last futile try. Solons Rolling Sacramento humbled Vancou ver for the second straight time, behind the 10 hit left hand pitch ing of Marshall Bridges. Former Mbuntie Jim Westlake led the Solon attack with a double, two singles and a walk. It was steady going for the California squad with two runs in the first, two in the third and a one run clincher in the fourth. In other games around the loop, Hollywood downed San Francisco which claims the best batters in the league 4-1, in a day game, and Los Angeles whipped Seattle 6-3 in the final night contest.

' No-Hitters In Pee Wee Loop Frays Mike Barnes of the Medford Tigers and Louis Alvarez of Central Point pitched no hit vic tories yesterday as their teams chalked up identical 5 to 0 scores against their adversaries. The Tigers defeated their fel low Medfordites, the Wildcats, and Central Point won from Eagle Point. Barnes missed a perfect game by issuing a walk to the last man he would have faced had he retired that batter. Only the one player got on base against him. He struck out seven bat ters. Alvarez whiffed 11 and walked two. Glines, the Wildcat hurler, yielded just three hits, one a double by Bandy. He had three strikeouts and gave five bases on balls. CP had the benefit of five hits and six walks off Eagle tossers and of six EP miscues. i The Tigers kept their unbeat en leadership and Central Point retained hold on second place.
