TEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUTE Friday- August S8. 1S3T Qddsmakers Write Off Chisox After Yank Sweep; Slaughter Shines With 11-lnning Homer By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer The go-go White Sox are al most gone and the all-conquering New York Yankees now are 8-5 favorites to beat Milwaukee in the World Series. With the Yankees a whopping 6' 2 games ahead and only 27 left to play after their stunning three-game sweep of the Sox, oddsmakers "officially" an nounced today they no longer are accepting any bets on the Yankees in the American league pennant chase. As far as they're concerned, the flag chase all but ended when "old pro" Country Slaugh ter forgot his 41 years and slammed an llth-inning home run Thursday to give the Yan kees a dramatic 2-1 victory at Chicago. The oddmakers say today they will now accept only bets against the Yankees, not on them. They'll give you 8-1 odds if you still like the White Sox. The same goes for the Braves vs. everyone else in the Nation al League. Money Players Did It The hard-bitten "money" play ers took the big game for the Yankees, just a they have so many times in the past. The first Yankee run was a left-field SO Kennel Club Show Scheduled on Sunday Dogs from Idaho. Arizona Texas.

Springy Russian High Jump Shoes ToB ring Debate Paris IF) International track and field officials expect a stormy debate over "spring-like shoes" when seven-foot high jumps by Russians are offered for approval as world records. Western officials have asked the International Amateur Athle tic federation, ruling body of world track, to investigate re ports that the Soviet stars wore shoes with inch-thick' elastic soles that acted like a spring on the take-off. "I believe this sole improves performances by four inches," said Swedish high-jump star Bertil Holmgren. , So far no Westerner has in spected the shoes worn by Rus sia's Yuri Stepanov, who broke the world high jump record held by Charley Dumas of Compton. Calif., by a half-inch, or of another Russian who clear ed seven feet. Published photos show the Russians wearing basketball-type shoes with extreme ly thick soles. USC GETS ROSE Los Angeles HP Swimming prospects at the University of Southern California soared to day with the announcement that 18-year-old Murray Rose of Aus tralia would enroll there next month. Rose, winner of three gold medals in the 1956 Olym pics, holds four world records from 403 meters to 1,500 meters. home run in the third inning by ex-Marine hero Hank Bauer. Earl Torgesorj's sacrifice fly in the same frame drove in a Sox run that tied the score but, at last. Slaughter's drive into the right field seats in the 11th was the winner. Tom Sturdjvant pitched the first six innings for the Yan kees, but Whitey Ford got the win with five brilliant relief innings In which he allowed just one hit. Dick Donovan pitched all the way for the Sox to lose a tough one, giving up eight hits. The Sox muffed their big chance to win in the last half of the 10th Inning. With one out. Ford walked Sherm Lollar and Walt Dropo was safe when Tony Kubek bobbled his grounder. But Ford retired both Bubba Phillips and Donovan on ground ers to end the threat. ' From here out, the schedule favors the Yankees, too. They play 18 of their remaining games at home, only nine on the road. The White Sox play only eight at home and 20 on the road. Indians Trounce Orioles In the only other major league games Thursday, the Cleveland Indians slammed four home runs to trounce the Baltimore Orioles, 13-4, and Tom Brewer of the Boston Red Sox gained his 15th victory of the year, 6-1, over the Detroit Tigers.

Brit ish Walker Cup team nominated an all-star lineup today for two ball foursome matches against the American squad in an effort to win the international cup for the second time in 16 tries. All but one of the eight play ers named for today's four con tests by non-playing Capt. Ger ald Micklem has held a major British title in the last four years, and two of them, Joseph B. Carr and Reid Jack, have won the British Amateur crown. Carr, a 35-year-old veteran of five previous Walker Cup tour naments, who won the British title in 1953, was named with Frank W. G. Deighton, 30, in the No. 1 British foursome to play against an. American com bination of.experience and youth, 35-year-old Billy Joe Patton and Rex Baxter Jr., 21. Baxter holds the National Col legiate and Trans-Mississippi ti tles, while Patton's top title was the North and South Amateur in 1954. ; No. 2 Battle The No. 2 battle will pit Phil lip F. Scrutton, 34, and Alan Dupas Choice Over Busso Miami Beach flf) ' Second ranked lightweight Ralph Dupas was a 2-1 favorite to beat highly-, regarded Johnny Busso. in a nationally-televised' 10-round bout tonight because of his greater speed and experience. But the 21-year-old New Or leans lightweight said he has an even better reason for winning: His-anger over court troubles in which he is trying to prove that he is white rather than Negro. Dupas said he is "fighting mad" over the affair and plans to vent his wrath on Busso in the ring. "This may make me a better fighter than I usually am," he said. "I've got to take it out on somebody, why not Busso?" Bussell, 20, of Britain against Bill Campbell, 34, and Frank M. Taylor Jr., 39, while the No. 3 match will be Douglas Sewell, 27, and Reid Jaek for Great Brit ain against Arnold S. Blum, 34, and Charles R. Kocsis, 44. The fourth match will be Ma son Rudolph, 23, and Hillrian Robbins Jr., 25, for the United States vs Alex . Shepperson, 21, and Guy Wolstenholme, 26. Campbell has the outstanding American record. He has won the North-South Amateur title three times, the Mexican Ama teur crown and. has played on two Walker Cup teams. Blum twice won the North-South title while Kocsis, the oldest player on both squads, held the Nation al Collegiate crown 21 years ago and took the Big Ten title in both 1933 and 1934. Dove Population Below. Normal on Eve of Season Counts indicate that t dove shooting will not be up to normal this season, Charles Shepard, game commission field agent here, said this morning. Count is down, from past years. Mourning dove and band tail pigeon season opens Sun day, Sept. 1, and continues through Sept. 22. .- Shepard said the best hunt ing . for doves appears- to be in Ihe dry farm areas back of Table . Rock. He reported a good flight of pigeons at Eight Dollar mountain in Josephine county. The Williams area if only fair for pigeons at present. ... There were thousands of doves in the valley early this .month but cold nights appar ently has started their migra tion .from the area. Hunters may check for legal shooting hours in the game commission's synopsis of rules, available at hunting license agencies. Goats Still Rule Craggy Peak Roosts Portland The magnificent Rocky Mountain goats, trans planted by the Oregon . game commission in I960 in coopera tion with the Washington game department, still rule the roost on the craggy 10,000 foot peaks of Sacajawea and Matterhorn mountains in the wild, primitive Wallowa country. Five of these shaggy -maned creatures were observed last week by Bob Stein, district game biologist at Enterprise, and Milt Guymon of the game commis sion s information department, who made a special trip into the goat country to obtain all possi ble information on the status of the herd. Since the nucleus herd of five animals three billies, one nanny, and a kid was trans planted, the only surveys made by the game commission have been by airplane during the winter months. At that time of year, however, Sacajawea and the Matterhorn are being rocked by winter blasts with the moun tain peaks usually socked in by storms or cloud masses. Flying activities have been curtailed to one or two trips as weather per mits. Goats have been observed each winter but never more than three at any onetime. Investigation Warranted Last fall the forest service re ported a dead goat near the Hur ricane creek trail, and this sum mer another goat was found by an angler in Crescent lake, a small lake located against the south side of Craig and Matter horn mountains. Stein decided that the death of these two goats warranted a thorough in vestigation as to the status of the herd in the Matterhorn and Sacajawea range to learn if possible if reproduction was tak ing place and to gain a first hand knowledge of the area in which they live. Stein and Guyman packed in to the area through the Ice lake basin then proceeded on foot to Sacajawea, traversed the full length of Hurwall ridge, climbed the Matterhorn, and searched the basins directly below. Four of the goats were observed among 1 craggy spires jutting from the southeast Matterhorn escarpment, while the fifth was seen on the south wall of Sa cajawea mountain. Although no goats : were seen along Hurwal kidge, tracks were abundant hprAver thpr wac sort rfirt in leave prints. Goat beds were found on almost every exposed slppe, and one group of seven beds was located in a small area near the Matterhorn. Stein was sure from the amount of sign observed that more animals were in the area than were seen. The goats observed and , all signs seen were well above tim berline on the steep slopes and exposed ridge tops. The animals seem to prefer the bleak soli tudes of the cliff tops to the lush meadows in the valleys below and eke out a living on the sparse growth of mosses, lichens, and herbs which gain a foothold among the rocks.

The only active player in the game to have hit more than .400 (.406 in J941) in a season, Wif liams still is going strong. His feats are legion. And he con tinues to add to them. Possess ing " the highest : career batting average in the league, .348 be fore this season,' he leads the league in hitting. Many think he still has a chance to hit .400 this season in his race with - young Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees. But Ted does not. "If the last month is hot," I might be able to-do it," Ted said. "But if it's cold, I don't think I can. I've been aching lately not just my legs, but all over. When a game is three hours long, I feel it." . Baltimore, Md. (IT) Four walks helped to cut Ted Wil liams' lead over Mickey Mantle in the American League batting race to six points today. Wiliams dropped one point from .380 -to .379 Thursday when he drew four walks and grounded out once in five trips to the plate in the Boston Red Sox' 6-1 victory over Detroit.

Chico Alvarez carried the load Thursday for Wenatchee, driving in five' runs with a double, triple, and single in five trips.
