Shoe Horn Needed
Again in National;
Chisox Clip Yanks
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Get out that shoe horn again
because five clubs are all trying
to squeeze into first place today
in the National league.
The Cardinals moved within
half-game of first place by
beating Brooklyn, 3-2 Thursday
night, and the Redlegs closed
to within a game of the lead
with a 9-1 victory over Pitts
burgh.
Only one game separates the
first four clubs Milwaukee, St.
Louis, Brooklyn and Cincinnati
with fifth-place Philadelphia
climbing to within only 2Vi
games of the top as a result of
a 5-3 decision over the Braves.
The Cards threw a monkey
wrench in Brooklyn' plans to
take over the league lead when
they beat Don Newcombe Thurs
day night for the first time In
seven years at St. Louis.
Newcombe and Herm Weh
meier were tied at 2-2 until the
Cards cracked through for the
winning run in the eighth on
singles by Alvin Dark and Stan
Musial and Wally Moon's sacri
fice fly.
Fowler Checks Bucs
Art Fowler of Cincinnati went
the distance for the first time
this year in checking the Pirates
on seven hits. In addition, he

Wolverine

golfers in the Wolverine Open
continue their record-smashing
attacks on the Lochmoor club
course, the tourney should be
one of the best in the . nation.
Mickey Wright, a 22-year-old
Californian, swung her way into
the opening-day lead Thursday
with a par-busting 70.
She split the Grosse Pointe
Woods 6,406-yard layout with
sizzling rounds of 35-35 and was
only a one-point jump ahead
of Vonnle Colby of Miami Beach,
Fla. and Mary Lena Faulk of
Thomasville, Ga.
Bailer Starts It
The previous course record of
76 was first broken Thursday
by an amateur, Meriam Bailey
of Evanston, 111. Her 73 placed
her in a three-way tie for fifth
spot but was the first record
breaker. Miss Faulk lowered the mark
a bit later when she came in
with her 71, just a half-hour
before Miss Wright posted the
70.
Joyce Ziske, Waterford, Wis.,
carded men's par, 72, for her
rounds and five others came in
with less than women's par of
75.
drove in the Redlegs' first two
runs with a bases-loaded single
off Ronnie Kline, who lost his
sixth straight game and 14th
of the campaign. Ed Bailey and
Gus Bell each homered.
Robin Roberts of the Phillies
scored his first victory since
June 6 in beating the Braves
although Dick Farrell had to
be called in to get the final
out. Roberts gave up nine hits,
including Hank Aaron's 30th
homer in the fourth inning to
post his seventh victory against
13 defeats. Ed Bouchee drove in
three of Philadelphia's runs as
Warren Spahn suffered the loss.
Mike McCormick, 18-year-old
bonus southpaw, won his first
major league game in pitching
the Giants to a 5-2 triumph over
the Cubs, but he needed ninth-
inning relief from Marc Grissom.
McCormick struck out seven
and gave up ail six Chicago hits.
Daryl Spencer homered for the
Giants.
In the American league, the
White Sox shaved the Yankees'
lead to 3V4 games with a 6-2
triumph over the world cham
pions; Boston defeated Kansas
City, 5-3; Washington edged
Cleveland. 3-2 in 10 innings, and
Baltimore blanked Detroit, 3-0.
Dick Donovan was the whole
show in the White Sox victory,
holding the Yankees to four hits
and contributing a seventh-inning
homer. Lefty Bobby Shantz
failed in his fifth try for his
10th victory. The triumph for
Donovan was his 10th and it
followed a one-hit shutout over
the Red Sox last Saturday.
Bosox Clinch Early
Bob Porterfield, making only
his fourth start of the year,
held the Athletics to six hits,
including a homer by Lou
Skizas, as the Red Sox beat Kan
sas City for the 14th time in
18 games this season. Porterfield
also helped himself to two of
Boston's 10 hits and singled in
a run in a lour-run rally that
clinched the game in the second
inning.

SF Seals Gain Notch;
Mounties Back in 2nd
By JIM HEALY
United Press Sports Writer
Vancouver and Hollywood
grappled and growled over th
second place spot Thursday
night, while the San Francisco
Seals tiptoed quietly another
notch out in front.
The Mounties climbed back
into the No. 2 position by virtue
of a 9-8 win over Sacramento,
and Hollywood went back into
third as a result of a 7-2 beating
it took at the hands of Los An
geles.
As this was going on, the Seals
moved six games out in front of
Vancouver by dumping Seattle
4-1. An additional half game now
separates Hollywood from the
Seals.
In the other loop contest, Port
land whipped San Diego 8-4 to
come within two percentage
points of tying Sacramento for
the cellar. ,
Solons Fooled
For the first eight innings it
appeared to be all Sacramento.
The Solons took a five run lead
in the first frame off a bases
loaded homer by Jim Greengrass
and another tally by Al Heist
The Mounties got two in the
second, then all was quiet until
the ninth when Jim Marshall
banged out a three run homer
for Vancouver to start a scoring
spree that was just too powerful
for the Solons. Sacramento tried
in vain to come back with three
runs in the bottom of the last
frame.
The Angels collected their win
with a minimum of effort. Roy
Hartsfleld led off for Los An
geles with a two run homer in
the first and Hollywood was
never able to move ahead. The
two Star scores came on a sacri
fice by Paul Pettit, and an in
field out which brought in Spook
Jacobs. Babe Birrer, 3-4, won
while Don Rowe took his fifth
loss against five wins.
The Seals took a 2-1 series
lead over Seattle, mainly on the
strength of three unearned runs
Royal Squad
Threatened
Miami (IP) Members of the
Montreal Royals baseball team
agreed under protest to fly into
the teeth of a possible Havana,
Cuba" revolutionary demonstra
tion today despite mailed death
threats.
Each player of the Interna
tional league team Thursday re
ceived airmailed leaflets, post
marked Havana, warning him
not to go to Cuba for a sched
uled game.
The players met after Thurs
day night's game with Miami
and agreed to leave by plane
as scheduled but only under
"protest," for their game with
the Cuban team.
Frank Shaughnessy, president
of the International league, rul
ed after receiving a promise of
protection by Havana police that
the team would have to play
its regularly scheduled game.
Bob La Rue, business manager
of the team, said most of the
players before the game had
signed a petition asking that
they not be required to make
the trip under the circumstances.
Ed Fitzgerald's single in the m the sixth frame. San Fran
cisco scored in the second when
Frank Kellert came home on a
single from third.
Spring Wins Seventh
Seattle rallied in the seventh,
scoring one run. Then Seal re
liefer Leo Kielv came on to
douse the fire. Jack Spring took
his sixth win against four losses.
Red Munger, 7-6, lost.
Bob Borkowski spelled the dif
ference for Portland by driving
in four runs exactly three more
than were needed to win
The Beavers, who lead San
Diego 3-2 in this series, got three
runs in the first, another in the
fourth and two others in the
10th scored Roy Sievers from
second base with the run that
gave Washington its first vic
tory over Mike Garcia in two
years. Russ Kemmerer went all
the way for the Senators, giv
ing up eight hits to register his
fifth victory. Jim Lemon hit
his 15th homer for Washington,
Lanky Connie Johnson of the
Orioles limited Detroit to five
hits in achieving his eighth vic
tory and third shutout of the
season. Baltimore scored all of
its runs off Frank Lary, who
absorbed his 13th loss against
only four victories. Gus Tri-
andos drove in two of Balti

Medford's American Legion
junior baseball aggregation will
have a three-pronged goal this
week end.
It will aim for the district
championship, a berth in Oregon
Legion semi-finals and a pair of

to 4 in a late June contest here.
Early this month Roseburg won
7 to 0 over the Rogue Valley

chance against their Umpqua
valley foes.

approximately 9,517,000 fish

of fish stocked was more than
1 346.000 pounds. The number
! stocked is an increase of more
than 3.000.000 for a similar
I period in 1956 and is a result of
I the accelerated fry and f inger

More thn 100,000 pounds of

third consecutive month in
which that figure has been ex
ceeded. Distribution activity has
been state-wide with all trucks
