Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) raves Sun To Greet Baseball Fans at First Game By LEO H. PETERSEN United Pies Sports Editor New York W Milwaukee manager Fred Haney adopted Casey Stengel's favorite weapon the platoon system today, re vealing he will alternate his right fielders and possibly his first basemen against the New York Yankees in the World Se ries. Thus, with southpaw Whitey Ford slated to start for the Yankees in the Series opener at Yankee Stadium Wednesday against left - hander Warren Spahn, Haney said right-handed hitting Andy Pafko will be in right field and Joe Adcock, an other right-handed hitter, at first base. "When the Yankees pitch a right hander," Haney added, "I'll have Bob Hazle in right field and maybe Frank Torre at first base." New York HP Good fall , weather is the advance fore cast for Wednesday's opening game of the World Series. The U.S. Weather Bureau predict ed "Mostly fair with season able temperatures." Hazle and Torre are left handed hitters. Casey Still Undecided While Haney appeared cer tain as to who would start for his Braves at every position Wednesday, Stengel still had not made up his mind about three spots first base, second base and left field. Husky Bill Skowron, the slug ging first baseman who has been sidelined two weeks with a sac roilliac condition, was the key man in Stengel's indecision. "I still don't know, whether he'll be able to play." Casey said, "And if he can't, I'm in real trouble. "If Skowron can play, it will help me make up my mind who I will start in left field and at second base." Skowron and Mickey Mantle who has been sidelined by shin splints in his left leg, both indi cated they were ready to play in Wednesday's opener although each explained he wasn't 100 per cent sound. Howard May Start Skowron seemed the more doubtful starter of the two and in the event his back prevents him from playing, Stengel prob ably will use the right-handed hitting Elston Howard at first base. That would mean either rookie Tony Kubek or Enos Slaughter would be in left, and either Gerry Coleman or Bobby Richardson at second. Stengel had no doubt at all as to the other positions. He said Yogi Berra would catch Wednes day, Hank Bauer would be in right field, Gil McDougald at shortstop and Andy Carey at third base. Considering his Braves are the underdogs in the Series, Haney was in an expansive con fident mood as he arrived here by plane from Milwaukee with his team late Monday. "I know we have a battle on our hands," he said, "But I don't see any reason why we can't win it."

Baseball Head Becomes Target Of Washington Washington (IP) Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick was revealed today as the target of broad new accusations filed with a congressional committee by a director of the Washington base ball club. The accuser, C. Leo DeOrsey, charged Frick with permitting "continued abuses" of baseball's waiver and draft rules and shak ing "the fan's"' confidence in the integrity of the game" by pub licly making "unfair, unfortun ate, and completely unwarranted reflections upon the great Ameri can game and the men who have made it so." The newest chapter in the Frick-DeOrsey feud was unfold ed in a supplementary statement filed by DeOrsey with the House Judiciary Subcommittee after he and Frick testified at public hearings this summer on sports anti-trust legislation. The state ment, part of the subcommit tee's hearing record, came to light today. The feud originated last March when DeOrsey labeled baseball a big business and proposed a ma jor overhaul in the set-up of the game, including big league rep resentation for Los Angeles and San Francisco. At the time, Frick chided DeOrsey as a 'com parative newcomer who profess es to know all the cures for base ball's ills." Cubs Keep '57 Open Bragan to Pilot Indians By UNITED PRESS Bb Scheffing and Bobby Bra gan, with brand new managerial contracts under lock and key, know what they want next. Scheffing, who was re-hired Monday to manage the Chicago Cubs in 1958, wants to get a new center-fielder.

The Cubs gave Scheffing a new contract on the basis of the Cubs' fast finish this year a reccord of 29 wins and 27 losses in the ,last two months of the season. The 2-year-old former big league catcher was praised by Cubs' Vice-President John Hol land for his work with young players. Birmingham, Ala.

October 1, 1937 eries Avalanches Not Serious Threat To Shasta Lift Mount Shasta, Calif. Ava lanches will not be a serious threat to the Mt. Shanta ski lift, according to the U.S. Forest Service's top expert oi the sub ject. He is Monte Atwater, now a technical supervisor for the 1960 Olympic Games at Squaw Val ley. Atwater inspected the lift this week at the request of ski bowl directors. He said any threat to the lift's structure could be corrected by removing potential dangers in their early, stages. Atwater of fered to help with this using re coilless rifles and other devices which have been found useful for this purpose. He has studied avalanches in all parts of the world. Meantime, work is being speeded on the lower lift, as well as on the 14 miles of highway to Panther meadows where the lift starts, and on the 300 car park ing lot being built there. Bids also are to be opened soon on a S160,000 lodge at Pan ther meadows. Foundations for the building are scheduled to go in this fall. Baseball Players Boost Minimum Salary to $7,000 New York (IP!

The angle: To produce more and better tennis players for the U.S. in international competi tion in the years to come. "We are planning this lay-out to give youngsters with an incli nation of play tennis an inten sive five weeks of instruction during the summer months," said Gardiner, currently head pro at the Pebble Beach Tennis Club. s "Also, it will give Kramer a base to carry out his teaching ideas. Right .now it looks as Del. Flanagan Favored To Beat Yama . New York (IP) Middleweight contender Del Flanagan is favor ed at 7-5 to beat Yama Bahama at the Chicago Stadium Wednes day night in what appears the most attractive fight on this week's schedule. It will be televised by ABC. Flanagan of St. Paul, Minn., ninth ranking contender, is fa vored over West Indian Yama because of his greater experi ence in 101 fights and because of his cagey style. Unranked Yama has had 53 bouts. Friday night's TV-radio NBC bout brings together lightweight contender Johnny Busso of New York and Ernie (Sonny Boy) Williams of Washington, D. C, at the New Capitol arena in Washington. Unranked Williams was unbeaten in his last six fights, but his opponents lacked Busso's class. Johnny is favored at 3-1. The week's boxing includes: Tuesday Toledo, O. Bert Whitehurst vs. Bob Satterfield and Jimmy Martinez vs. Johnny Neal; Boston Billy Ryan vs. Phil Rizzo; Richmond, Calif. Bobby Scanlon vs. Leo Agbulos: Manila, P.I. Al Asuncion vs. Leo Espinosa; Sacramento, Calif. Joev Lopes vs. Kid Castro. Wednesday Chicago stadi um Del Flanagan vs. Yama Ba hama.

The ranch will have a dormi tory where the young prospects will be housed during the in struction period and instructors will include some of the nation's top professionals from the Kra mer tour, including Kramer him self. "We expect to spend about $225,000 on this investment," says Gardiner, "and we hope to be open for business in March." In addition to the dormitory for the young players, the lay out will have five courts for day time tennis only. Also, there will be 16 guest cottages for older persons inter ested in playing tennis, plus two swimming pools. Gardiner hopes the idea will spread around the country, be cause he belieevs it would give the game of tennis a great shot in the arm. "I believe this is the first 'tennis ranch' ever developed," he said. "We think there is a great need for this kind of in struction and development of the younger players if we aregoing to be able to meet the Austral ian players and others on an equal basis. "We will have an instructor for every four young players present, so it would mean a lot of personal attention for each lad in our care." There are many exclusive beach and tennis clubs in the country, such as those in New York, Florida and California, but they mostly are very expen sive organizations and too cost ly for the average young player to join. "This should open the gates for many young prospects who in the past couldn't afford to be long to an exclusive club, or just partial instruction on public courts," said Gardiner.
