Yankee Clipper Hits In Old Timers1 Game New York API Joe Di Maggio and a stroke of that famous luck of the New York Yankees proved decisive again yesterday in the world champ ions annual Old Timers day game with the Detroit Tiger stars of yesteryear. A crowd of about 40,000 at Yankee Stadium reserved its biggest cheer for DeMaggio when some 60 stars, including eight Hall of Famers, were introduced. The fans then saw the famed for eight innings. Wes Covington knocked in two runs for the Braves with an. infield out in the fifth and a single in the sev enth. Red Schoendienst failed to hit safely, however, and his 23 game hitting streak went by the boards. Bob Purkey scattered eight hits and won his 10th game of the year for the Pirates who snapped the Cardinals' three game winning streak. The Pir ates collected nine hits, includ ing two each by Bill Virdon and Bill Mazeroski to hand Murry Dickson his third defeat. Clem Labine, making his 42nd relief appearance of the year, halted Cincinnati's three - run ninth-inning rally after rookie Danny McDevitt retired with a blistered finger on his pitching hand. Jim Brosnan pitched a six- hitter as the Cubs belted Harvey Haddix for seven hits, including homers by Bob Speake and Jer ry Kindall. The loss was Haddix' eighth of the year, squaring his record.

The game was limited to two innings in deference to the toll the years had taken on the once-great ath letes. A parade of Yankee pitching might from the past, Red Ruff ing, Spud Chandler, Monte Pear son, Bump Madley, Hank Boro- wy, Russ Van Atta, Joe Page, Marius Russo and Lefty Gomez, had shut out the Tiger Stars with one hit when DiMaggio came to bat with two out in the last of the second inning and hooked a single. Billy Johnson, a third base man on the 1947 Yankee world championship team, followed with a single to right field and then came the decisive break of the game. Bud Metheny, a war-time out fielder with the Yankees, lifted a high pop fly in front of the plate but Trout and Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane collid ed and. the ball dropped for a single, DiMaggio scoring the winning run. The "official scor er" ruled that Trout and Coch rane lost the ball in the sun and gave Metheny a single. STANDINGS Bv United Press National League W. L.

Yankees Detroit Spiegelberg Jumps Free In Mishap Fred Spiegelberg, Medford high football coach, his brother-in-law, Edward Kelly, and a University of Idaho student had a narrow escape last week in a freakish accident near Pres cott, Wash., which wrecked a combine and tractor. - The mishap occurred on the farm of Spiegelberg's father-in- law, Ed V. Kelly, where, as in past years, Fred has been working in the harvest. Machine crews had stopped to make re pairs on the crest of a steep hill. Brakes on the tractor failed about 15 minutes later and both machines rolled down the hill and crashed over a 20-foot em bankment onto Prescott high way. The combine landed on top of the tractor and was a total loss. Spieg was on top of the com bine and had to jump to save his life. He wrenched a knee but suffered no apparent serious in jury. Tangled Mess Kelly and Charles Wheaton, the Idaho student, threw them selves flat on the ground and the combine header ran over them. A sickle guard struck Wheaton's back ripping a gash about three inches in diameter. Kelly was thin enough that the header passed over him, tear ing nothing but the hip pockets otf his jeans. Wreckage of the combine and tractor in the unusual mishap was said to be a tangled mess. Mrs. Spiegelberg, who wrote the Mail Tribune concerning the de tails of the accident, said, "We, our family, and everyone who saw the wreckage feel very for tunate that their lives were spared. We all feel that is was a miracle." - She reported that there was still about two weeks of cutting left and that with new equip ment purchased harvesting was resumed a couple of days after the accident. Spiegelberg is to report to Portland on August 10. He will coach the State team this year for the annual Shrine high school all-star football game. Outside of the near disaster, Spieg, Scott and I are fine and have enjoyed-the summer, but as always it will "be mighty nice to get back to the good old Rogue river valley," Mrs. Spie gelberg said.

Head th League ' Today's RVL headline battle put together the clubs who are at the head of the league not only in the standings but also in team batting and from the standpoint of pitcher success. While Medford has four swatters to CJ's one among the top 10 in the loop, the Outlaws have a team figure which ranks them second behind the Studs hitting percentage. Medford's Jerry Bartow has the healthiest batting mark in the league with .571 but because of more times at bat Cave Junc tion's Ron Maurer is the nomi nal co-leader with .500. Med fordites in the top 10 are Frank Roelandt, .474, Ron Owings, .429, and Jerry Droscher, .391. Larry Maurer, Cave Junction, is right behind Droscher, .387. Duane Sides and Bartow have 4-0 and 3-0 league pitching rec ords respectively, for the Studs while the Outlaw regulars, Jim Eggers and Les Saffer, are 3-1 and 2-1.

Team Intact v ' The Medford lineup is expect ed to be intact with its person nel in its usual places.

Rivals will be the Edmonton Eskimos, .three-times Canada champs, and the Vancouver Lions. Canadian fans claim that their football is "the football" and that the United States brand is just a "stolen" copy. Football actually was played first in the 1870s by Montreal's McGill uni versity. McGillians exported the game to Harvard university in 1874. The north of the border type game has several differences from the U. S. types. Canadians have 12 men on a team and five backs compared to 11 and four in this country. Downfield block ing is not permitted in Canada. Many U. S. collegiate stars have been drawn to the Canad ian grid ranks. The Lions, for instance, have such players as Paul Cameron from UCLA, Tony Teresa from San Jose State, Toppy Vann from Georgia and John Jankans from Arizona State. Billy Vessels and Kurt Burris are ex-Oklahoma 'greats with Edmonton. Eugene, Rogue Valley Golfers To Vie Today Eugene and Rogue Valley Country club golfers mix today in a team match at Rogue Val ley.
