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

on one-basers and Reinking's
hits, one a two-bagger, came in
six times up. 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.

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.

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.
