Martin Holds
Stingy Title
San Francisco W Morrie
Martin of the second-place Van
couver Mounties held the title of
stingiest pitcher in the Pacific
Coast league this week with an
excellent earned run average of
1.71 in 142 innings of hurling.
Precentage-wise. Bill Aberna-
thie of San Francisco topped the
loop with 12 wins and two losses
for an .857 mark. .
Keely of the Seals had the
most wins with 17 and Jim
(Mudcat) Grant of San Diego
was tops in strikeouts with 122.
On the debit side, Roger Osen
baugh of Sacramento had the
most losses with 14.
pitcher Roger Osenbaugh singled
to left, was sacrificed to second,
and scored on a double by Leo
Righetti.
Bottler doubled down the line
to left field in Portland's third.
Ed Winceniak walked and Luis
Marquez scored Bottler with a
double to left. Earl Rapp scor
ed Winceniak and Marquez with
a single.
Don Kaiser was the loser.
The double win second in
a row for the Solons put them
four games ahead of the Beavers
in the series here.
Heavy hitting by Cuno Bar
ragan and Harry Bright assist
ed the Solon win in the opener.
Winceniak Homen
Barragan's third homer of the
season came of a pitch by John
Carmichael in the second in
ning, with the bags empty. An
inning later, he tripled - and
drove home two runs. Also in
the Solon's big third which
sent Carmichael to the showers
and brought in Darrell Martin
Bright tripled, and Jim Green
grass hit a double. It was five
runs on five hits and an error
for Sacramento in that frame.
For Portland, Ed Winceniak
smacked a two-run homer in the
fifth.
Other Monday night PCL
scores included Vancouver 3,
San Francisco 2 and Hollywood
14, Los Angeles 0.
It may have sounded like the
rattle of musketry coming from
Gilmore Stadium Monday night
but it wasn't the Battle of Water
loo revisited it was merely the
Hollywood Stars banging out 20
hits in their 14-0 shelling of the
Los Angeles Angels.
The Angels may be well down
in the second division of the Pa
cific Coast League but they nev
er before this season suffered
such a humiliating defeat.
The victory for the Stars
moved them up a game on the
league-leading San Francisco
Seals, who lost a squeaker up
in Capilano Stadium to second
place Vancouver, 3-2.
' But the debacle in Gilmore
Stadium was not the only sur
prise in PCL action Monday
night. Hold on to your score
card Sacramento is out of the
cellar again.
The Solons moved up into the
rarefied air of seventh place by
trouncing the. faltering, stagger
ing, what-are-we-d oing-here
Portland Beavers twice, 10-6
and 6-5.
George Witt got his ninth
straight victory and his 15th in
19 decisions by limiting the
Angels to three hits. The Stars
put things on ice in the fourth
when they got to Angel starter
John Jancse and his reliefer
Babe Birrer for seven runs on
seven hits before the lights were
pulled, with hard luck John re
ceipting for his 10th loss of the
campaign.
Up British Columbia way.
Vancouver pulled even in the
series with the Seals at 2-2 by
coming from behind in the
eighth inning with two runs to
embarrass Seal starter Jack
Spring with his sixth loss of
the season. The win pulled the
Mounties within four games qf
the front runners.
Sacramento yanked itself up
to only 29 V games out with
their double lacing of the now
place Beavers. Now, if there
were 100 games left in the sea
son but that's the same dream
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and
there ain't that much hemp in
Baghdad to make THAT come
true!
As for the San Diego Padres
and Seattle . . . They're still
around. However they were not
scheduled Monday night so they
both picked up a half game
on the Seals. The Pads, wistfully
studying their pre-season press
notices, are still firmly in third
place, five games out. The Rai
niers are kings of the second
division, 12 games away.

take the state meeting, the

siderable boost. i
Much Tougher
The Black Sox are expected to
be a much tougher team Wed
nesday than the combination
which Medford downed 5 to 2
and 9 to 8 and which then beat
the Studs 4 to 2 and 10 to 2.
Drain has lost Second Baseman
Wimp Hastings for the campaign
but has picked up strength with
the addition of Infielders Ad
Rutschman and Vern Marshall
and Pitcher Noel Aronson. With
Stan Dmochowski, Jerry Pflug
and Jack Henkel on hand, the
Sox have more mound depth
than the Studs.
But Medford hopes to be a
full strength for the rubber ruck
us. The Studs were a bit make
shift when they lost 10 to 2,
because of injuries.
Possible Drain line-up is Ar
onson, pitching; Irv Roth, catch
ing; Ron Bown or Vern Marshall
at first base, Bill Levin or
Rutschman at second, Dan Luby
at shortstop, Manager Ray Strat
ton at third, and among Norv
Ritchie, Pat Wohlers, Jerry
Gregg and Ron Bowen in the
outfield.
Jerry Bartow may be on the
hill for the Studs with Manager
Frank Roelandt be'hind the plate.
nest of the likely line-up is Jack
Cooney at first, Larry Perkins at
second, Ron Owings at shortstop,
Frank Rector at third and Jerry
Droscher, John Kovenz and Ed
Reinking, outfielders.
13 Won in Row
Medford will carry a season
record of 20 wins and four de
feats into the scrap. Drain has a
season standing of 18 victories
and five setbacks. The Black
Sox have copped 13 straight.
The visitors probably field a
club with more overall experi
ence while the Studs field a gang
with a nucleus of seasoned play
ers surrounded by up and com
ing baseballers. Medford's com
bination has provided plenty of
interesting ball.
The Studs enter Wednesday's
action with a .324 team swat
ting average.. Of their 292 hits
34 per cent have been for extra
bases. They have a total of 26
homers, 20 three-baggers and 54
two-base safeties.
Droscher, from Roseburg and
Oregon State college, heads the
club with a .406 slugging mark.
Roelandt follows with 374 and
Bartow has .370. There are sev
en players with averages of .329
or better. Ron Owings and John
Kovenz each have hit five home
runs. Rector is the runs batted in
leader with 34 and Kovenz has
28.

Savitt Drops
Cup Tourney
South Orange, N.J. (IP) Tall
and husky Dick Savitt, who
trounced America's two top ten
nis players in marching to the
Eastern Grass Courts champion
ship, told the U.' S. Davis Davis
Cup committee today not to get
its hopes up.
The 30-year-old Savitt defeat
ed Viv Seixas of Philadelphia in
the championship match Mon
day, 6-4, 6-4, 1-6, 8-6, after hav
ing whipped the U.S.'s No. 1
ranking player, Ham Richard
son, in the semi-finals.
"I'm not interested in Davis
Cup play," said Savitt after the
final match. "As a matter of
fact, I may not even play in the
nationals at Forest Hills. It will
depend on whether my business
permits it."
Savitt's game was not quite
at its peak against Sexias, and
he had troubles with his service
but his ground strokes and vol
leys at the net were too strong
for 33-year-old Seixas, who has
yet to win the Eastern champ
ionship in 10 years of trying, al
though he has taken the Wimble
don and Forest Hills titles.
Mary Ann Mitchell of San Le
andro, Calif., won the women's
singles with a 6-2, 6-2 conquest
of Jeanne Arth of St. Paul,
Minn., and Barbara Davidson of
Milwaukee and Mrs. Pat Todd
of La Jolla Calif., won the wo
men's doubles over Janet Hopps
of Seatlle and Diana Woonton of
Santa Monica, Calif., 6-1, 6-i.
The men's doubles went to the
Australian team of Roy Emerson
and Bob Mark, with a 4-6, 8-6,

English Davis Cup team of Mike

Parker Quits Lions
Nominates Successor
By JACK BERRY
United Press Sports Writer
Detroit IP Buddy Parker
said today he definitely quit as
head coach of the Detroit Lions
and he nominated assistant
coach George Wilson to take his
place when, the Lions open the
exhibition season' here Wednes
day night against the Cleveland
Browns.
Parker shocked President Ed
win J. Anderson, many of the
directors and all of the players,
at the annual "Meet the Lions
Banquet" Monday night by an
nouncing his resignation.
"When you get to the situation
where you can't handle your
football players it's time to get
out and that's what I'm doing
tonight," said Parker, one of
the most successful coaches in
pro ranks.
The effect couldn't have been
greater than if an atomic bomb
had been dropped. For a mom
ent there was a dead silence then
milling, buzzing crowd.
Anderson hurriedly conferred
with General Manager W. Nich
olas Kerbawy and then went to
the speaker's stand.
Will Not Reconsider
"I'm sure Buddy is just emo
tionally upset over two things
that happened today, Anderson
said. "With a good night's sleep
to think it over and realize what
he's said in public, he'll recon
sider," he said as fans yelled
"don't be a quitter, Buddy!"
But Parker says he has no
intention of reconsidering.
"Detroit As just dead," the
Texan drawled later. "I've been
in pro football as a player and
a coach since 1935 and I know
what I can do with a team. So
far in practice this year I have
not been able to do anything
with them," Parker said.
He refused to single out any
players and said he knew "noth
ing" of the "two things" that
Anderson talked about.

said.
"George Wilson probably will
take over as coach," Parker said
without hesitation when asked
who would get the job. Wilson
had been with Detroit as end
and offensive backfield coach
since 1949. He played with the
tough Chicago Bears of the early
1940s and went to Northwest
ern. "There's a lot of good foot
ball players with the. Lions,"
Parker said. "But I couldn't do
anything," said the man who
signalled the rebirth of pro foot
ball in Detroit.
Under Parker's tutelage th
Lions won three straight West
ern Division titles, 1952-53-54,
and won the National Football
league title in 1952 and 1953.
Last season the Lions lost the
division crown in the final reg
ular game of the season to the
Chicago Bears.
