Sam Snead Sizzling in First Round Match of PGA Tourney By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Editor Dayton, Ohio W Sammy Snead, shooting one of his finest rounds, led 64 survivors into two sudden-death 18-hole rounds in the PGA golf championship to day with all the top favorites still in the runing. Doug Ford, the favorite; Wal ter Burkemo. one of the greatest match players in the game; de fending champion Jackie Burke, U.S. Open king Dick Mayer and most of the other 'name" golf ers still were in the runnint along with Snead. who is gun ning for his fourth PGA cham pionship. Three ex-champs fell by the wayside In the opening 18-hole round of match play Wednesday. Former champions Chick Har bert. Chandler Harper and Jim Turnesa were eliminated along with Ed Furgol, the 1954 U.S. champion. Snead Calls Penalty Snead, despite calling a pen alty on himself which cost him the 11th hole, defeated John Serafin of Pittston, Pa., 4 and 2, as he over-powered the hilly 6.773-yard Miami Valley Golf club. He was six under par for the IS holes It took him to close out the match. That was the best golf of a day which produced 10 extra hole matches of the 64 that were played. In another brilliant ex hibition. Gene Littler, who is in the tournament on a pass, bested Don Fairfield in a battle of bird ies. Littler shot a 4-under-par 67 1-up. Dow Finsterwald, another of the heralded youngsters who is playing in the event for the first time, made the second round when his opponent, Theodore Sleichter, the 39-year-old pro at the Gettysburg Country Club at Gettysburg, Pa., where Presi dent Eisenhower plays his golf when at his farm home there, called a penalty shot on himself on the 17th hole. Souchak Also Advances Burkemo had a rough time be fore he bested Toby Lyons of beat Denny Champagne of Or lando, Fla., 4 and 3; Burke beat host pro Gene Marchi, 4 and 2, and Mayer defeated Arthur Stuhler of Pittsfield, Mass., 6 and 5. Mike Souchak, another of the younger pros who is rated high for this tournament, advanced with a 5 and 3 triumph over Charley Johnson of Hinsdale, 111. Jim Browning of Weston, Mass., eliminated Furgol 2 and 1; Skee Riegel eliminated Har bert in 19 holes; Turnesa was knocked out by Bill Nary of Wayne, Mich., 2 and 1, and Harper was beaten by Mike Krak of Morgantown, W.Va., 3 and 2. Cheney Studs Crush Dunsmuir Crew 14-3 Jerry Droscher, Ed Reinking and Frank Rector each smacked out three hits last night as the Medford Cheney Studs battered Dunsmuir, Calif., 14 to 3, in a non -1 eague semi - pro baseball game here. Four other members of the Cheney crew, Jack Cooney, John Kovenz, Ron Owlngs and Duane Sides, collected two safe raps apiece as the Rogue Valley league leaders totalled 19 hits and pushed over runs in all but one of their eight turns at bat. . While the Studs were going on a rampage with their hefty clubbing, Medford twirlers Duane Sides and Kay Kelley lim ited the Merchants from Cali fornia to Just six safe bingles. The Merchants had a lot of men on base, nevertheless, drawing 11 bases on balls. Brilliant field ing, highlighted by three double plays, and Sides' 11 strikeouts were among the big factors in keeping Dunsmuir scores to a minimum. Droscher Triplet Droscher tripled, doubled and singled in four times up. Rector also recorded three for four, all High Cascade Lakes Have Good Fishing Portland IW The weekly fishing report prepared by the state game commission: - .1 .

Rector and Rein king drove in three runs each and Droscher and Kovenz each a pair. Sides yielded four of the Duns muir hits and eight of the walks in seven innings. Kelley gave up two hits and three of the walks in two cantos. All of the runs were against Sides. Neither Don Stone nor Von Summers, throw ing for Dunsmuir, issued a base on balls. Each had a strikeout. Fourteen of the hits and 11 of the runs were charged to Stone in six innings. Summers looked tough although giving up a single to Larry Perkins in the seventh frame but the Studs did some of their heftiest rapping off him in the eighth with Dros cher slapping his triple, Owings a double and Eldon Francis and Reinking each a single. Sides hit two for Medford in four times up and those by Coo- ne, Kovenz and Owings in five trips apiece. Kovenz just missed a home run on a high fly to right field. Outfielder Wayne Miller was backed practically against the fence by the clout. The ball was in his glove but popped out and over the fence for a four base error. Stone hit safely twice In four times up for the Merchants and Duke Hamilton clubbed two tor five. Glendale Next The Medford double plays were Pitcher Sides to Shortstop Owings to First Baseman Coo ney, Centerfielder Kovenz to Cooney, on f lyout by - Rusty Behnke and throw to first to catch Dick Kraft off the bag, and Third Baseman Rector to Sec ond Baseman Perkins to Cooney. The Studs oppose Glendale in the Rogue Valley league here on Sunday afternoon. Medford smothered the Loggers 18 to l in a first half league game. But the defending champions have strengthened considerably since that time and have climbed to third place after a slow start in 1957 loop play. Signalling their ambitions to rise against the Studs, Glendale tripped second spot Cave Junc tion last week end. The Loggers boast a number of heavy hitters and have a topline pitcher in Dwayne Miller, Linfield and ex Glendale high player. SPORTS Medford ites Nip Pointers Medford squeezed home the winning run in the fifth inning yesterday to nick Central Point 4 to 3 in an Intermediate league junior baseball game. The victory kept Medford the unmarred leader of the loop. Talent "won" but lost in a mix with Ashland also yester day. The Talent nine headed 11 to 8 when the game was halted after three innings because of darkness. After the game it was learned that a Talent player was over the age limit. The tiff was forfeited to Ashland. Donald Willey hit two doubles for Ash land. Snappy Gam The squeeze with no one out concluded a snappy fracas be tween Central Point and Med ford. In the bottom of the fifth and final inning Ken Durkee walked and stole second base. Dave Dexter singled him to third and Jerry Anderson laid down the bunt which brought the run home. Medford took a 2 to 0 lead in the second inning but CP made it 3 to 2 in the top of the third. The big city club came back in the bottom of the third with a tying run. Doug Kinney threw a four hitter for Medford, walking just one and striking out eight. Bill Anhorn of CP gave seven hits to Medford batters. He also walked only one. Anhorn had six strikeouts. Dexter doubled and singled and Anderson had two one-basers. Hardtoppers Contemplate Special Attractions Soon A standard program of hard top auto racing is planned for this Saturday at Valley View speedway near Ashland but some special attractions are in the process of jelling. A "clobber," or destruction, derby is contemplated for the evening of July 27. A mid-season championship race, with drivers invited from other tracks in southern Oregon and northern California, is in the making for possibly Aug. 10. It's possible that the oft post poned challenge match race be tween Ray Asher in C-10 and Wayne Lemley in A-57 may fin ally take place this Saturday. It would be a 10 lapper. Troubles with Asher's car on two oc casions and rain, which drowned out last week's racing, have pre vented the special romp. A main, semi-main, four heat races and two trophy dashes, as usual, are .to be on the July 20 program. Time trials are set for 7 a.m. and first race for 8 p.m. 50-Lapper In Making Old cars would run in the de struction race until only one is left in shape to operate and it would have to make a final lap around the track after the next to last car is out of commission. The mid-season chase would have a 50-lap main and 35-lap semi with 150 prize in the No. 1 race and S75 in the semi. To show the caliber of vehicles in the hardtop program, the Rogue Valley Racing asso ciation said its cars and drivers will challenge any late model cars to 10-lap competition. That challenge goes to both dealers and individuals. In a race be tween one late model stock car and one hardtop, winner would take all. There would be a split if a number of cars are entered. A sedan-type late model car, rather than a convertible, would be required for the sake of safety. Only other requirements would be seat belt and helmet. Thursday.

Morris Awaits 5th Season as 'Gat Gridster Linfield College, McMinn- ville Football fans in Mc- Minnville are discussing the grid prospects of the Linfield Wildcats with more than the usual fervor this summer as they anticipate a successful season for the defending Northwest con ference champion Wildcats. There could be six seniors in the starting line-up for Coach Paul Durham this fall and five of them are three year lettermen who have been starters in their positions every since they enter ed school in the fall of 1954 as freshman. They are Little Ail-American Vic Fox from Cottage Grove; guard Howard Morris, Medford (ex-Crater); all-conference end jerry Beier, Hillsboro; second string all-conference quarter back Ron Parrish, Prineville; and halfback Bob Flood from Roosevelt in Portland, the team's leading ground gainer last year. Sixth senior starter should be Howard Glenn, a two year let terman from Clark College in Vancouver who was second string all-conference in 1956. Assistant coaches added to the Wildcat staff for this fall are Les Hershey, an all-conference performer for the Wildcats in 1951 before he entered the serv ice; and Don Nicholson who established a successful coach ing record at Mitchell High the past two years. Hershey and Nicholson will be fifth year stu dents on the campus. Opening game this season for Linfield will be against the powerful Cal Poly, Mustangs, Sept. 21, at San Luis Obispo. Contract Awarded for Highway 101 Sign Cave Junction A contract was awarded Tuesday to the Grants Pass Sign company for construction of a 1 snn rnaH "sign at the junction of Highways 101 and 199 four miles north of Crescent City, Calif. The bulletin, which was de signed to increase tourist travel through this area, will feature a 10 by 26 foot painting of a typical southern Oregon land scape. It has been estimated that ap proximately 2.000 northbound cars approach the junction every 24 hours during the summer months and it is believed that a directional marker of this type will divert 500 more cross-state cars daily over the inland route.
