TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) Yanks Show (Resourcefulness Sn Taking By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Editor New York W The odds makers hung the spectre of a four-game sweep over the Mil waukee Braves today when Casey Stengel ent Bobby Shantz, a carbon-copy of first game victor Whitey Ford, out in an attempt to make it two' straight for the New York Yan kees in thje 1957 World Series. Broadway odds-makers quoted the defending world champions, 3-1 victors in Wednesday's open er, as 6-5 to win the second game, 13-5 to take the Series and only 5-1 to wrap it up in four games. These odds reflected the gen eral feeling that the Yankees cleared the way to their seventh world championship in nine years under Stengel when they made 36-year-old star Warren Spahn a loser in the opener. Milwaukee manager Fred Ha ney, disappointed but far from discouraged by the first-game defeat, named ex-Yankee farm hand Lew Burdette to hurl the second game and "get the Braves even." Burdette posted a 17-9 record during the regular Na tional League season and made his first World Series appear ance. Tomorrow is an off-day of travel with the third, fourth and fifth games scheduled for County Stadium, Milwaukee, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The sixth and seventh, if necessary, will be played at Yankee Stadium. In Shantz, Stengel sent the Yankees' Cinderella Kid of 1957 out on his first World Series as signment in a career that reach ed a peak when he had a 24-7 record and was named the Amer ican league's most valuable play er in 1952. Burdette, 30, is the most con troversial pitcher in baseball be cause nobody seems to be sure whether or not he actually em , ploys the outlawed . spitball. Known as a "cute workman," Burdette keeps all his stuff low. A native of Nitro, W. Va., Burdette was a highly-respected Yankee farmhand when the world champions decided they needed late-season veteran pitch ing to wrap up the 1951 Ameri can League pennant. For this reason alone, they were per suaded to include Lew in a deal for Johnny Sain a transaction that paid off for the Yankees inasmuch as Sain helped them to the pennant but that hurt them inasmuch as they lost a first class young pitcher. Advance dope on a World Se ries probably never stood up better than in Yednesday's open er when the Yankees display their all-around resourcefulness and had a pitcher to control the Braves' power. Ford and Spahn matched zeroes until the last of the fifth when Gerry Coleman, one of Stengel's platooners, led off with a single, advanced to third on two infield outs and scored the first run of the game when Hank Bauer pickled Spahn's first pitch Bend Forfeits To Prineville Bend up Bend High school has forfeited a football game scheduled with Prineville Fri day night because of a flu epi demic at the Bend school which hit 17 out of 22 regular members of the Bend team. Bend officials had sought to reschedule the game for No vember 15 but Prineville of ficials said they believed it un advisable to schedule a game then because of the possibility of either school being in the high school playoffs. Principal William Burgess of Prineville said, however, there was a pos sibility the two teams would play November 15 if neither is in playoffs. CAMPBELL SOUPS VEGETABLE BASE F 0 R Snider's Golden Guernsey Milk in Vi gal. Kt CREAM MAIL TRIBUNE First Series Scrap up the right center field alley for a double. Ford started and finishd strong but he seemed to be laboring in the middle innings when he gave the .Braves three chances to score. But he threw a double play ball to Joe Adcock to choke off the first threat in the fourth, retired Red Schoendienst with two on and two out in the fifth and stopped Hank Aaron, Ad Whitey Ford Gives Scouts Much Credit (Editor's note: Southpaw Whitey Ford got the Yankees off to a one time lead today when he beat the Braves, 3-1, in the World Series opener. He tells his impressions about the game in the following dispatch.) By WHITEY FORD As Told To The United Press New York !TO Give our scouts a lot of credit. They sure brought us back a mighty fine "book" on the Braves. Two of Milwaukee's left handed hitters, Eddie Mathews and Wes Covington, though, are a whole lot better than I thought. Especially Mathews. He didn't get any hits off me but he's got an eye like Ted Williams up there at the plate. He won't swing at a ball if it's a hair-line out of the strike zone. Frankly, I thought the Braves' hitters would be easier to deal with than the Dodgers were in the past. But after facing them, I'm not so sure. Here I had al ways figured Mathews was some wild-swinging slugger, always going for the fences. But that's not the case at all. My curve ball was my "money pitch." I relied on it especially often during the last four in nings. ' From the stands it may have looked as if I was a little wild. I know I walked four men, two of them in the sixth. But that was only because I was trying to be too careful. SKOWRON MAY BE OUT New York (IP) Bill Skowron, slugging first baseman of the Yankees, reinjured his back while running out a ground ball during Wednesday's first game of the World Series and probably will be forced to sit out the rest of the series, Elston Howard, who took over Skowron's first base duties in the first game of the World Series, previously played only 16 innings of profes sional ball at that position. Ford Could Set Series Win Mark New York (IPi Whitey Ford, the little southpaw who pitches the big games for the New York Yankees, seems to have a clear path today toward becoming the most successful World Series pitcher of all time. The 28-year-old Ford's 3-1 vic tory over th,e Milwaukee Braves in Wednesday's 1957 opener marked his fifth triumph in a Series career dating back to his rookie campaign in 1950. He is only two victories behind the Series mark held jointly by ex Yankee heroes Red Ruffing and Allie Reynolds and should draw six to eight more starting shots before he hangs up his glove. Whitey can expect to pick up at least one, and perhaps two more starts, in the current Ser ies. And, unless the Yankees suddenly lose their magic touch, he can expect Series starts in four or five of the next eight years. 4th and MedfordITribunb - J) 2C 7SC Vi Gal. Thursday, October 3, 1957 cock and Andv Pafko in the sixth after walking Johnny Lo gan and Ed Mathews. The Braves finally nudged Ford for their run in the seventh when Schoendienst singled home Wes Covington, who had dou bled, with two out. But by then, the Yankees had added two more runs on sixth'inning sin gles by Elston Howard and Andy Carey, a walk and Coleman's suicide-squeeze sacrifice bunt. Coleman Proves Surprise Hitter New York (IP) Two-time Marine Corps hero Jerry Cole man is the New York Yankees' surprise hitting star so far in this World Series because he "is very careful about how he plays this game." That's the explanation offered by Yankees' manager Casey Stengel, who picked the 33-year-old Coleman to start Wednes day's opening game almost at the last minute and was richly rewarded. , Coleman's big day included: A double that was wasted, a single that enabled him to score the game's first run, a perfect squeeze bunt that scored Yogi Berra with the clincher, and a perfect "middle man" play on the double play that crushed the Braves' best threat. V "I picked Coleman to star that game because of his exper ience," said Stengel. "His exper ience has taught him to make every play in the book and he is very careful about how he plays this game.

Backs are not all running hard enough or quick enough, its still early in the season." That was the sum up Coach Barney Riggs gave today on the Hedrick Junior high football club as it awaited its game here Friday at 3:30 p.m. with Grants Pass. Riggs said that wet weather may have a considerable role in the contest since the young turf field is muddy. Starters Named Tentative starters listed were Art House and Bruce Bray, ends; Terry O'Sullivan and Stan Hobbs, tackles; Warren Parke and John Pierce, guards; Jerry Gastineau, center; Mike Monroe, quarterback; Kim Griffin, left half; Danny Sieg, fullback, and Kenny Morse, right half. For defense Larry Brown and Joe Parton will replace" Gastineau and O'Sullivan. Mclntyre, who was battling with Morse for a starting berth, had his wrist stepped on .Tuesday and will miss the game. There are 19 players on the Hedrick seventh grade Blue ros ter. Coach Dale Bates stated that much work needs to be done if the Blues are to continue as the "power of Hedrick." Seventeen boys are on the Red squad under Coach Duane Richardson. The mentor declar ed, "The Red teams in the past two years have left much to be desired. This year's Red team has the fighting spirit and de termination to make history at Hedrick Junior high." ROSTER: Ninth grade Ken Morse. Bob Mc lntyre, John Boyce, Kim Griffin, Phil Morris.

ROBINSON ENLISTS Cincinnati (IP) ' Frank Robinson, hard-hitting Cincin nati Redlegs outfielder-f i r s t baseman, has enlisted in the Marine Corps active reserve pro gram and has left for six months of training at Parris Island, S.C. PLUS NORTHERN STAMPS Jelly 59' Fanfare Jftn Hetzer, sports editor of the Cook Bay World, telephoned us yesterday for information on the victory streak of Medford high teams in the fabulous 1920. And the conversation brought up the question of just how much, of a record the Marsh field Pirates can be gunning for in their fracas with the Black Tornado at Coos Bay on Friday night. The Buccaneers claimed a tie with the Medford record of old when they chalked up their school's 38th game without de feat last Saturday. They aim for a 39th win or at least a tie to extend that streak. However our leafing through a dusty book disclosed that the Tornado clubs known as the "Terrors of the 20s" actually compiled a mark of 41 games without a loss from the start of the 1924 season through the first two tussles of 1929. The 41 skein included wins over Med ford Alumni in 1926 and 1927 and the University of Oregon Frosh reserves in 1927. That leaves 38 high school teams played without a loss. 30 STRAIGHT TRIUMPHS ' Medford's mark of 41 (or 38, if you will) goes Marsh field one better in that there was only one tie in the string (with Ashland 7 to 7) while the current Pirate streak in cluded two knots (0 to 0 in 1953 and 20 to 20 in 1956, both with Medford). The old Tornado went 33 games (through 30 with prep foes) without a loss. There's something else clouding Marshfield's claim for tie with the Medford record. It's possible the Med ford skein stretches farther, back into 1923. Incomplete in formation for that year shows Medford with seven games. Victories are listed for four of the games. No results were found in going through back files for scuffles with the Alumni, Klamath Falls and Roseburg. Medford was unde feated also against high school competition in 1922, losing only to the Oregon State col lege Rooks in the season open er. CALLISON HERE 6 SEASONS Medford achieved its success in 1923 through 1928 under Prince G. (Prink) Callison. Dr. Edwin Durno was coach in 1922. Murrell Hagen took over the grid reins in 1929. RECORD LISTED This is the record over the 1924-29 span of 41: 1924 Crescent City 36 to 0, Klamath Falls 54 to 0. Grants Pass 27 to 0, Marsh field 7 to 6, Ashland 14 to 4 1 N By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribune Sports Editor 12, Ashland 7 to 7; 1925 Klamath Falls 21 to 0 and 23 to 0, Grants Pass 20 to 0, -Marshfield .41 to 7.

Ashland 25 to 7, The Dalles 42 to 0, Ben son of Portland 39 to 0; 1929 Coos Bay 20 to 7. Grants Pass 7 to 0. The streak ended with a 14 to 3 loss to Corvallis in the third game of the 1929 sea son. CAN RESOLVE ISSUE Medford's Black Tornado, of course can resolve this whole issue of ' record busting by de feating the Pirates Friday. Over the history of rivalry between the two schools, Medford has won 13 times to Marshfield's eight. There have been two ties. QUESTION ON MORRIS A fan asked us recently why we didn't inquire of Coach Len Casanova concern ing the reason ex-Medford high star. Jack Morris wasn't called on to carry the ball more for University of Ore gon in the Idaho game. We didn't have a chance to listen to the radio broadcast of the game and we're not about to ask explanations from Mr. Casanova. But our own cur iosity was aroused a bit after hearing a portion of the Oregon-Pittsburgh broadcast.

It begins in the home where the lady-in-a-mobd-to-buy starts her shopping by studying the ads in this newspaper to see where the best buys are. The story continues in the adver tiser's store where the lady comes to buy what she saw advertised. Newspaper advertising helps the shopper to buy more wisely . . . helps the advertiser to sell more successfully. Yes, there are two sides to the story ... and BOTH are good! Medford Mail Tribune Newspaper Advertising SERVES Everybody Joe Francis Sidelined by Shin Splints Corvallis (IP) Joe Francis. Oregon State's star tailback, sat on the sidelines Wednesday with a painful case of shin splints as his teammates worked out -for the Northwestern game at Ev anston, 111., Saturday.
