CENTRAL PHONE SP 2-6241 es Yankees To Monday, September 9, 1957 bill s tier SI 21 S3 Op Lead By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Jack Urban couldn't make the grade with the New York Yankees but he's a big reason today why the wrld champions figure to make the grade in the American league pennant race. A 19-year-old, 155-pound right hander who went to Kansas City as part of the Yankees' deal for Enos Slaughter, Urban hurled a 13-inning, five-hitter Sunday to give the Athletics a 3-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. The loss dropped the White Sox 5V2 games behind the Yankees, who scored a 5-2 victory over the Washington Senators. The St. Louis Cardinals moved to within 0V2. games of first place in the National league when they beat the Cin cinnati Redlegs, 4-3, and the Chicago Cubs dumped the Mil waukee Braves, 5-3, in 10 in nings. The White Sox are four games behind the Yankees in the "los3 column" with 19 games to go while the Cardinals are six behind the Braves with 17 to go. Urban Fans Eight Urban struck out eight, yield ed only one earned run and hurled no-hit ball for the last 8 23 innings to win his fifth decision. He also knocked in a run with one of his three hits. Bobby Shantz rescued Tom Sturdivant in the ninth inning for the Yankees, who took a 3-0 lead in the second inning with the help of Gil McDougald's key double and added two insurance runs in the ninth. Roy Sievers singled home both Washington runs in the third to raise his runs batted in total to 101. Wally Moon singled home the tieing run and Al Dark popped a single to right field to drive in the winning tally for the Cardinals who trailed, 3-0, into the last of the eighth. Bob Will's single was the key blow in the Cubs' lOth-inning rally that dealt the Braves their fourth defeat in five games. Bosox Beat Orioles The Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, and the Detroit Tigers downed the Cleve land Indians, 3-1, in the other AL games while the New York Giants shaded the Brooklyn Dodgers, 3-2, in the final game of the famous rivalry at the Polo Grounds and the Pittsburgh Pi rates beat the Philadelphia Phil lies, 6-2, after a 7-4 loss in other NL games. - Dick Gernert's two-run seventh-inning homer was all Mike Fornieles needed as he limited the Orioles to three hits to win his ninth game. Billy Hoeft struck out seven and gained his eighth win for the Tigers, who took a 2-0 lead in the first inning with the help of Cal McLish's wildness. Gene Woodling hit his 18th homer of the year for the Indians. Hank Sauer's two-run third inning homer enabled the Giants to end their cross-town rivalry with the Dodgers ona victorious STANDINGS SPORTS $70,463.20 Won on $2 Racing Bet Agua Caliente, Mexico IP) A San Diego, Calif., aircraft worker yesterday won $70,463. 20 for a $2 ticket by selecting all six winners in Caliente Race track's "5 -10" handicapping pool.

(W Nine Spokane city high school foot ball league games were with drawn from Memorial stadium here today by the City of Spokane's board of control, on the basis that the stadium turf was "unsafe for our kids." Dr. George I. Werner, pub lic school physical education director in Spokane, said that stock car racing at the stadium had cut the turf almost flush with the sidelines, and that players tackled or knocked out of bounds would fall onto the hard auto track. "It isn't in safe condition for cur kids to play football," he said. note and Bob Smith pitched an eight-hitter to win his first game for the Pirates after the Phillies won the opener with a four-ruri rally in the ninth.

Main St., 2nd Floor PHONE: SP 3-5301 Redskins Spill Baltimore Colts By UNITED PRESS If you're looking for an "early line" on the 1957 National Foot ball League race, you won't find those scrambled exhibition re sults much help. Monday morning experts could ponder today such items as the second loss in four games for the world champion New York Giants and an impressive victory over tough Baltimore by pre viously winless Washington as typical of a full week end of pro gridiron play. In Sunday games, the Red skins ended a three-game losing streak by whipping highly-touted Baltimore, 24-14; the Chicago Bears bounced back from a loss to the Giants to hand the win less Philadelphia Eagles their fifth straight defeat, and the Pittsburgh Steelers handed the Detroit Lions their first loss, 20-14. On Saturday, the San Fran cisco Forty-Niners downed the Chicago Cardinals, 27-21; and the Green Bay Packers surprised the Giants, 13-10. On Friday night, the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cleveland Browns, 20-14. HOAD FIND TOUCH Scheveningem, Holland HP) Lew Hoad, the Australian ten nis star who turned pro ofter his Wimbledon victory in July, hoped today he finally had re gained his touch. Hoad, who had been taking beatings from every other member of the Jack Kramer professional troupe, beat Pancho Segura on Saturday and Ken Rosewall in a three and one-half-hour marathon Sunday.

FRONT AND CENTER Nine year old John Halverson -of Detroit, Mich., seems to be bogged down by his helmet and shoulder pads as he tries out for center position during formal practice for some seven hundred Little Leaguers from nine to 12 years old. Chapman Has Stiff Competition For Center on Webfoot Eleven University of Oregon, Eugene J Oregon's interior line, a ques tion mark prior to the opening of practice and regarded as the key to the Webfoots' success this fall, has developed a solid first unit as the first week of practice closed Friday and Coach Len Casanova and his assistants have a better idea of the reserve strength. The rapid development of Bob Grottkau, the 6-4 204-pound jun ior who played fullback as a prep, end as a freshman and let tered as a tackle last fall, into a capable guard has done much to give the Ducks a good set of starters. Grottkau is teamed with Harry Mondale, the 5-6 198-pound sen ior who has already won three letters and is regarded as one of the top guards on the coast. Mondale is a 45-minute a game man and is particularly outstand ing on defense. Line Coach Bill Hammer be lieves his first team tackles, jun ior Jim Linden and senior Jerry Kedshner, both 6-4 and 220 pounds, are set for fine seasons and predicts Linden will be out standing before he completes his collegiate career. Fine Linebacker In the middle the Ducks are well manned with the return of Norm Chapman, who is light as centers go at 191 pounds, the fine linebacker from Medford who has lettered for two sea sons. Chapman has stiff compe tition, however, from Bob Peter son, the defensive ace from Coos Bay who is starting his sopho more season. The strength of the reserves is still uncertain, but the addition of tackle Darrell Aschbacher and guard Cal Shaffeld has strength ened the Webfoots on defense and both are tabbed as possible offensive help with more time to learn the system. Game Trophy Picture On Waltonian Program Charles Shepard, game com mission field agent, will show a colored film, "The Trophy Hunt," and will discuss hunting prospects this evening at the first fall meeting of the Izaak Walton league's Jackson County chap ter. The session will be at 8 p.m. at the Medford Gun club. Aschbacher and Stewart White, another newcomer, are back of Linde on the right side of the line while two sopho mores, Jack Stone of Gresham and John Willner of Eugene, work behind Kershner. Shaffeld and Larry Newsom, a Salem non-letterman, are neck and neck as the relief men for Mondale while Grottkau must stay ahead of Will Reeve, a con verted 220-pound fullback, and Bob Heard, a non-letterman.
