o o TEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sport Parade New York (IPi Jack Sanford of the Phillies and Tony Kubek of the Yankees appear today to w have Rookie I of the Year honors locked up but the rest of the post- season awards still wide open. Sanford, the 28 - year - old "boy" wonder who lin ally made the biz Oscar Fralar league grade after 10 years, could emerge from the campaign with more medals than a revolutionary general. If he keeps going, and should the Phillies come on to win the pennant, he might take honors in three departments. In such a case, the blond New England spcedbali pitcher con ceivably could capture Rookie of ihi Year, Most Valuable Play er and Most Valuable Pitcher honors in a clean sweep. Sanford, who learned to con trol his curve ball to post 14 victories to date against only three defeats, apparently will have to top Billy Pierce of . the White Sox for pitching honors and Hank Aaron of the Braves for Most Valuable acclaim. Pierce, with a 15-7 pitching mark, is Sanford's closest com petitor for the Most Valuable Pitcher honors. This bit of busi ness won't be settled until the race is run. Aaron, making t trip.e crown bid in batting av erage, homers sad 1-uns batted in, is the man Sanford has to best for the Most Valuable Play er Award. m-.-t. jr v If A BELL RECOGNIZES PLAYER ASSOCIATION Washington OB Commis sioner Bert Bell's recognition of the National Football League's Player association, was backed today by eight of the 10 owners required to approve the action. Bell's action also appeared to clear the way for friendly con gressional legislation for pro football when subcommittee chairman Emanuel Celler (D. N.Y.) said he is "willing to mod ify my views" on anti-trust reg ulations of the sport as a result of the testimony he has heard. The committee has not sched uled any hearing for today but is expected to begin an inquiry into basketball next week. George Preston Marshall, pres ident of the Washington Red skins, led the minority group of owners who either opposed or refused to accept in toto Bell's action. Marshall said he doubted Bell had the authority to recog nize the association. Creighton E. Miller, lawyer for the Players' association, said he believed Bell was speaking for the whole league but that E 3 SAVE MONEY!

Sanford, however,' seems far in front of such rookie candi dates as first base teammate Ed Bouchee, third baseman Ed Kaskd and pitcher .Von Mc Daniel of the Cards, Dick Drott of the Cubs, Danny McDevitt cf the Dodgers and Dick Farrell of the Phils. Kubek appears far and away the best of an American League rookie crop which does not shape up as strong as the Na tional League group. The six foot, three-inch 21-year-old is hitting close to the .300 mark and has been a valuable part of the Yankee infield. MVP to Mantl In the running against him are such as pitcher Ralph. Terry and outfielder Woody Held of Kansas City, Roger Maris of Cleveland, Jim Landis and Bill Fischer of the White Sox and Larry Raines of the Indians. When it comes to the Ameri can League's most valuable race, most baseball observer's are inclined to hand the plum to the Yankees' Mickey Mantle without waiting for final re sults. Yet, as of the moment, ."old man" Ted Williams is making a determined run at him with a hot stick. The odds are that the Yankees will win the pen nant and this always is a major factor in final selection of the most valuable player. testimony by Oeorgt Halas, owner, of the Chicago Bears, raised some doubts-. ' Halas said that he supported Bell's action with the qualifica tion that each club have a' play er representative in the associa tion. Halas Bears do not have representative. ' Bell, the' little gamecock who has helped build up the NFL's popularity and prestige,- told newsmen he spoke for the whole league and had the power to do so under the constitution. He said no club "could overturn the decision." Bell added he was ready to open negotiations .im mediately ". on such things as minimum pay and working con ditions. The owners who backed Bell without reservation were Art Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steel- ers. Jack Mara of the New York Giants, Frank McNamee of the Philadelphia Eagles, Tony Mora- bito of the San Francisco Forty- Niners, Walter Wolfner of the Chicago Cardinals, Pete Rozelle of the Los Angles Rams, Edwin J. Anderson of the Detroit Lions and- Carroll Rosenbloom of the Baltimore Colts. Legion Team Gets Compliment Players and coaches of the American Legion junior baseball team here were given a dinner last night by the - local . legion post. - Attending were Police Chief Charles Champhn and le gion officials.

Courtly knights, heroines, shepherds, foresters and country folk, combined into a heart warming romance as only Wil liam Shakespeare could do it, opened the 17th annual Oregon Shakespearean .Festival last night in a production of which the playwright himself would have been proud. Director Angus L. Bowmer and a cast of more than 35 play ers staged "As You Like It" with such refinement that even Shakespeare's somewhat long speeches were delightful. . . Mary Jo Randall, a Kansas City, Mo., actress who has stud ied -at the University of Laval in Quebec, and Cfeorge Vafiadis, who has studied under B. Iden Payne at the University of Texas, captured the audience's Viparts with thpir sunprh artinff as Rosalind and Orlando. -Carry Main Plot Rosalind and . Orlando carry the mgin plot. Intermingled are lesser plofcj in which Shake speare's otr women findthem selves a husband. Between the plots, the playwright has pro-J videa witty conversation, and Directov Bowmer and his cast have done an excellent job in presenting it the : way it was written for presentation. . Although Touchstone, a mot- ly fool played by David O'Brien, and Jaques, a brother of Orlan do played by Jerry Turner, have no particular part , in the plot, without them the play would not be the same. a O'Brien, Ain his second season at Ashland, presented Touch stone's logic "pricking at man's pretensions" extremely well, as did1 Turner portraying Jaques' cynicism. Versatile Talent William Oyler, popular with Festival audiences for many sea sons, displayed his versatile tal ent as the polished French cour t i e r attending Fredrick. Le Beau. There is no one actor or actress who did not do justice to gis or her part, including the most insignificant, as far as rot or conversation is concerned, o The list of characters is long, but among those who left a lasting impression were Oliver, brother of Orlando, played by Jerry . Mickey; Adam, D liver's servant played by Rudolf E. Vest Jr.; SireOliver Martext, a hedge priest, portrayed by Carl Ritchie; Corin an Silvius, shep herds played by Michael O'Sul livan and Fred Strange, Wil liam, a country fellow played by Norman McPhee; and Aud rey, a country wench, portrayed by Muriel Eisenberg. Fine Supporting Role ' Rosalyn Newport played a fine supporting role as Celia, daughter of Frederick, who ac companies Rosalind inft banishment- Phebe, a shepherdess played by Doris Viola, did a cornicing job of acting when she acquired an attraction for Rosalind, who was disguised as a boy in the forest of Arden after her banishment. Much of the play is staged in the forest of Arden, a sort of magical place where even the usurper Frederick, played by William Crossett, determined on foul play- against his banished brother, has a change of heart and becomes a churchman. Director Bowmer did an ex cellent job also in directing a hard-to-stage wrestling match. Such matches, like sword play 5 : mm Public Hearing on Proposed City Subdivision Ordinance Called A public hearing on the pro- poset subdivision ordinance for Medford will be held Oct. 3, the city council decided last night. it. The proposed ordinance hs been designed to provide better living conditions within the new subdivision, only areas . whichj can be economically serviced and nQintained will develop, land descriptions, will be simplified and made more certain, neces sary city streets, utilities, and public areas may be extended without expensive land, pftr- chases, property values will be enhanced and seaured in trie sud division and adjacdrit lands, pur chasers will be protected from m Shakespeare's history plays, are perhaps the most difficult to direct and have to appear as natural as the wrestling match between Orlando and Charles, Frederick's wrestler, played by Robert Schesvgnter. Mention should be made of the costumes, which were as beautiful a? in past seasons, and Nancy Jennings of Medford can be proud of tne wardrobe for "As You Like It." . If the remainder of the plays this year follow the fine exam ple of Director, Bowmer's pro duction, the association should have one of the finest seasons in its 17-year history. Tonight's presentation is "Othello" under the direction of James Sandoe. E.H.A. Coroner's Jury Fails to Fix Cause. In Plane Fatality " San Bernardino, C?lif r (IB A coroner's jury has failed to fix the cause of death for Saul F. Binstock, 62-year-old North Hof lywood, Calif., jeweler who plunged 10,000 feet into the Cal ifornia desert through a jagged hole in the Western Air Lines .plane. Four of the inquest panel Thursday believed Binstock touched off an explosion that shattered a section of the airlin- Sf's fuselage while five thought his death was due to another cause. The 5-4 split left the mat ter unsettled. ' Hole Ripped in Plane The plane was 47 minutes out of Las Vegas, Nev., en Amte to Los Angeles July 25 when four by seven foot hole was ripped in the lavatory section where Binstock had been seen entering earlier, The airliner, carrying 12 other passengers and three crewmen, made a suc cessful emergency landing at George Aic Force base, Calif. Autopsy surgeon Dr. F. Rene Moflglin refused to say whether the jeweler's death was caused by any other reason than the 10,000-foot fall from the air liner. He said he found no or ganic cause of death other than traumatic injuries. However, he added that tests of the victim's mangled left hand had not been completed.
