t TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Casey Stengel's Wink and gfeturn as Oriole Offense By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Casey Stengel's two famous trademarks the wink and the impish grin finally were back in place today as befits a chipper skipper who knows he has just about wrapped up his eighth pennant in nine tries. The Yankees restored that long absent Stengel grin Wednesday night when they widened their American league lead to a full blown 5'2 games by knocking over the 'ambitious Chicago White Sox for the second straight night, 5-4. Don Larsen was the winner, but the hero was reliever Bob Turley, who was summoned from the bullpen for the second suc cessive night and' nailed down the Yankee triumph. Turley first got Larsen out of a jam in the sixth inning, then worked him self out of a bases-loaded situa tion in the seventh after yielding a two-run homer to Earl Torge son. Hank Bauer hammered his 15th homer of the year in the seventh off loser Billy Pierce. Orioles On Rampage The Baltimore Orioles staged the biggest offensive in their his tory to maul the Cleveland In dians, 19-6, while Washington de feated Kansas City, 3-2, and Bos ton beat Detroit, 1-0, on Ted Wil liams' 33rd homer of the season. In the National league the Dodgers took 'over second place with a 14-inning, 4-3 triumph over the Cubs; the Giants Game Regulation Being Mailed To License Dealers Portland Hunters may now obtain a copy of the 1957 game regulations.

Philadelphia; and Pittsburgh Yanks, Sox Bidding for Pitching Aid By GENE BLUDEAU Chicago HP) The league leading New York Yankees and the frantic Chicago White Sox started a bidding contest today for aging pitchers Sal Maglie of Brooklyn and Virgil Trucks of Kansas City as both clubs head ed into the pennant stretch i drive. The Yankees, recovering from recent jitters after a late season slump, and the White Sox, with in reaching distance of the flag, are both in need of mound help. Maglie is a 6-6 and Trucks 8-5 thus far. Charles Comisky, youthful vice president of the Chicago club, brought the bargaining contest out of the realm of ru mor when he said he was "in terested" in obtaining the 40-year-old Maglie. Comiskey said he talked to Buzzy Bavasi, Brooklyn vice president, about Maglie and that the Dodger executive promised a reply by today or Friday. Comiskey didn't say how much he was prepared to pay, but it was learned authoritatively that Bavasi, after obtaining waivers on Maglie, was asking $75,000. Comiskey, in a now-or-never mood to overtake the perennial American League champions, said that he was' aware the Yanks are also after Maglie and perhaps Trucks. "I'm prepared to go as high or higher than they will," he said. League Leaders (By United Press) AMERICAN LEAGUE Plaver & Club , G. AB R. II. Williams. Bos. .117 392 87 149 Mantle.

September 1 marks the open ing of the season for band-tailed pigeons and mourning doves throughout the state. The season on bandtails will extend through September 30 and for mdurning doves through September 22.

Pigeon Hot Spots Probable hot spots for pigeon shooting in the northwest in clude Pigeon butte in Benton county, Cheshire and the Cush man tide flats in Lincoln county, Crawfordsville mineral springs in Linn county, and the Nehalem and Nestucca tide flats in Tilla mook county. In southwest Oregon, tidal flast near Prosper, Isthmus slough and Shinglehouse slough in C;jos county are all good bets. The Smith river tidal watering area is also a good choice, as is the Winchuck river in Curry county and the migration route near Azalea in Douglas county. Hunters in search of mourn ing doves will find the greatest concentrations in the grain country of central Oregon tir the high desert water holes in eastern and southeastern Oregon. The weekly report on hunting con ditions prepared by the state game commission: Central: Columbia district The White river archery area is extreme ly dry and hunting will be difficult unless considerable moisture falls; largest concentrations of deer are found at the highest elevations; deer not moving much during davs: dove hunting should be good in Jefferson county; dove hunting in Wasco county will be fair; grouse hunting in Mt. Hood national forest will be poor. Northeast: Blue grouse may be found on Dooley mountain and high ridges of Eagle creek drainage and Mt. Emily: best ruffed grouse shoot ing will be along brushy streams in north half of Union county; mourning doves plentiful along Snake river, lower Powder river and Burnt river, less plentiful in Baker and Grande Ronde valleys; hunting mav be fair on Kuhn-Day ritigfr areas and Smith mountain-Grossman areas. Blue grouse will be found scattered throush most of the Blue mountains and foothills areas in the Umatilla district; best areas should be the rocky ridge area on East Birth, the benches along north fork of the John Day river and along the Kamela Tollgate road. Ruffed grouse are scattered along most water courses and canyon areas of the major streams such as Walla Walla, Umatilla, Meacham -valley; a few grouse will be found along the breaks of the John Dav river in vicinity of Wickiup springs, Potamus and Ant hill.

HPI Every omen, , experience, the records and even the weather, pointed today toward Great Britain's second victory in 15 Walker Cup golf matches. v Four of the 10 invading play ers have held the British Ama teur title in the last five years, and four of them have had prev iou Walker Cup experience. Against this lineup, the Amer icans have only one former ama teur champion, the non-playing captain. Charile Coe, and only three players with Walker Cup experience. One of these three, Charlie Kocsis, played in the only match which the Ameri cans lost. Gerald H. Micklem, a Walk er Cup player four times and non-playing captain of the Brit ish team, rated his team "the best prepared in history" for the tournament, and cited the wea ther as favoring his team. For recently practice rounds, it has been chilly, wet and windy, and forcasters expected this same condition Friday, when there will be four 36-hole two-ball matches. Pairings for the foursomes will be an nounced by Micklem and Coe late today. Saturday, the struggle will finish with eight 36-hole singles matches, with the parings to be determined after Friday's play ends. fJIIIJJjilUll ' WU, I , . JUL IIIWI MAIN and through with the fight. The IBC threat was made be cause of a new demand for S300,- 000 for theater-television by a Robinson representative, who dis rupted the nine-day settlement negotiations. Attorney Sidney O. Friedman for the IBC said he would appear at today's meeting of the N. Y. state athletic commission and ask for "proper action." He said, "If Robinson confirms the $300,000 demand, there may be no fight." Last Monday, the commission ordered Sugar Ray to go through with his scheduled title defense against Basilio at Yankee Stadi um, Sept. 23, or risk losing his middleweight crown by forfeit. At that time Robinson said he would fight if there was no tele vision, but "I'll walk out of the ring if I see a theater-TV cam era." However, the commission said his contracts called for a closed-circuit presentation by Theater Network Television, Inc. The champion objected "to TNT televising the fight because it offered no cash guarantee just a guarantee that 400,000 seats would be available: whereas an other organization, the Tele prompter Corp. had offered him a $250,000 guarantee. Wednesday night. TNT finally offered a 8250,000 guarantee. Then came the blow-up when a Robinsrn advisor, George Gain ford, Uld the negotiators, '"If you raised that offer to S300.000, Robinson probably would go for it." , Robinson said today, "I never made the $300,000 request, but 1 haven't accepted the TNT offer of S250.000 because it only matches the original offer I got from Teleprompter."
