EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Yankees in tit ort New York T?

Stengel named 10 newcomers whom he felt could nelp him re Cleveland Cleveland IP General Man ager Hank Greenberg, whose status with the Cleveland In dians is considered precarious, will learn within a few days whether he will keep or lose his job. Greenberg's future with the Indians will be decided at a board of directors' meeting that probably will be held later this week. Board Chairman William R. Daley said the meeting is being called for "a general discussion Black Tornado OverSraenbergStatus Club Edges Crater 6 to 0 Medford high junior varsity footballers topped Crater 6 to 0 last right. A three-yard off-tackle slant by pile-driving Don Cranston got the score. A fumble ruined the extra point effort. The touchdown came in the second quarter when Medford went deep into Comet territory on a 35-yard pass play, Calvin Armstrong Downs Sandy in NY Bout, Stays Unbeaten New York W Middleweight Gene (Ace) Armstrong, a stack er in a gin distillery at Eliza beth, N.J., was in excellent spir its today because his 12th straight professional victory has assured a future fight with ex contender Randy Sandy. Unbeaten Gene scored a tech nical knockout over Eddie (Ma chine Gun) Thompson of New York in their TV fight at St. Nicholas arena: Monday night. Referee Petey Scalzo stopped it at the end of the seventh round because Thompson was bleeding badly from his left brow and his nose. It was Eddie's first defeat in 14 professional bouts.

Cleveland's board of directors is composed of 13 men. includ ing Greenberg, who is reported to control about 20 per cent of the club's stock. The Cleveland News quoted unidentified directors as saying they will vote against renewal of Greenberg's contract if the matter comes up. Jayvee Grid Dean to Ken Durkee. That put the ball on the 15-yard stripe. Medford also threatened in the first quarter. A fumble re covery was responsible for the bid but Crater held for downs on the two-yard line. See-Saw Half The secomi half was a see saw battle with neither club reaching the shadows of the rival goal posts. The Comets made it to the Tornado 29 after the halftime kick-off but fum bled away the chance. Medford got to the Comet 34 before punt ing on fourth down. Crater then fought from its 15 up to the Medford 46 before being stopped on downs. Bob Eckel of Medford recov ered two Crater muffs in the second half. Medford's most con sistent gains were up the mid dle with Cranston lugging the leather. While the junior Tornado stayed on the ground during the latter stages of the game, the Comets took to the air on six of their plays during their last three turns with the ball. Den nis Pfaff completed three for 21 yards. His passes on a couple of occasions were dright in, receivers' hands and were dropped.

J Coates, infielder Dick Sanders and first baseman John Jaciuk of Richmond in the International league; and outfielder Deron Johnson of Binghamton in the Eastern league. "This club hasn't gone to the woods," Stengel insisted. 'Don't let anyone try to tell you that this ship has sunk." The two players regarded to have the best chance of making the Yankees next year are Sie bern, who was with the club during part of the 1956 season, and Duren, who had a 13-2 rec ord with 116 strikeouts at Den ver. "We had to send Siebern back to the minors because he needed more experience, but his work in the Association was sensation al," the Yankee manager said. "He has the stuff to win the left field job." Siebern batted .349 and hit 24 homers with Denver. Regarding Duren, Stengel said the bespectacled right-hander throws as hard as Bob Turley. Among the other conversa tional items Stengel offered were these: He is looking for standbys for both Yogi Berra and Bill Skow ron. He would have "definitely" Braves in the World Series had Braves in the Wolrd Series had the 40-year-old veteran been el igible. And no one on the Yankees can be considered trade bait un til the spring. "Until I see 'em all in spring training," Casey concluded, 'none of 'em are trading mater ial."

Ray, a San Francisco middle weight, is a veteran of 22 fights against some of the country's best 160-pounders. He started boxing in 1951 and took three years out to serve a hitch in the U. S. Navy, where he was phy sical education instructor. He has chalked up 11 victor ies, five by knockouts; has lost seven and had four draws. Among his opponents have been Bobby Jones, Garth Panter, Cliff Schellin, Joey Giambra, Al Andrews, Billy Lanza and Wil lie Vaughn. His latest effort was a four-round knockout of Red Lite at Richmond, Calif., on Oct. 4.

Ray, who was born in Tuscarora, Ala., on Dec. 5, 1934, is trained and managed by Mario Musati and Billy New man in San Francisco. Moyer, on the other hands, has had only four professional fights, winning them all. He has a long string of amateur suc cesses, being one of the north west's best known simon-pures before joining the pro ranks. Moyer has been signed to box a main event at Hollywood Le gion stadium next month if he can get over Ray. Flammond vs. Milne Promoter Harry Chipman will present four other match es. The six-round semi-windup will send LeRoy Flamond against Bob Milne in a scrap which promises to rival the main event for thrills.

Top Golfers 'Teed Off At Cuppers San Francisco (IP) Two of America's greatest golfers teed off on the method of choosing the Ryder Cup team Monday night, declaring they could "pick a better team with our eyes shut." Jimmy Demaret and Sam Snead en route to Tokyo to rep resent the United States in the International Trophy matches, said the recent U. S. team which suffered 'defeat at the hands of the British for the first time in almost a quarter century was "poorly selected.'" Both Snead and Demart crit icized the PGA method of selec ting the Ryder Cup team. As an example, Snead pointed out the fact that "Ted Kroll made the team twice although he hadn't won a tournament." "How could they send abroad a team which left off Snead and Cary Middlecoff, two of our top players?" asked Demaret, who also failed to make the team. Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey The great bourbon of tlie Old West is winning new friends everywhere ! The smoothest of fine Kentucky bourbons has the taste, the mildness, the quality that will win you too! ri rv. LOUISVILLE. KY, DISTRIBUTED BY KAIJOJWL Sid Flaherty Removed From Cal Black List, Plans SF Fiqht Soon San Francisco HP) Sid Fla herty was back in good standing today as a manager in Califor nia amid speculation that Eddie Machen, -his top-ranked heavy weight contender, will fight Hurrican Jackson here on Nov. 13. Dr. Dan O. Kilroy, chairman of the California State Athletic commission which was re vamped last year after a state probe into the fight game, dis closed Monday that Flaherty was granted a new license when it was established that he no longer would break the rules. "The commission received a wire over the week end from the International Boxing club stat ing that Flaherty no longer has business connection with the IBC as a promoter," Kilroy said. "It was a clean bill of health. I don't see how boxing in Califor nia . can be otherwise than helped now that Flaherty has a license to manage here again." The chilly-eyed Irishman blandly told a state committee in April of 1956 that he was breaking such state rules as doubling as promoter and man ager and filling some cards with more of his fighters than the law allows. Committee Counsel James E. Cox recommended that Flaherty be heavily fined but the commission did not have the power to levy one at that time. Flaherty then moved his sta ble to his ranch near Browns vile, Ore., and failed to apply for a California license until last Wednesday when the commis sion took his bid under advise ment. In the meantime, Flaher ty had concentrated most of his bouts in Portland, Ore., with several nationally televised shows from other parts of the country involving Machen. "Either I am an able manager Heath to Assume Portland Beaver General Manager Portland (IP) An official announcement naming Tommy Heath as combination field man ager and general manager of, the Portland Beaver baseball club was expected today. The Board of Directors of the Portland club met Monday but afterwards President G. A. Kingsley would admit only that Heath was one of three candi dates for the position. Heath resigned last Saturday as field manager of the Sacra mento club amid speculation he was headed for Portland. The Beavers also announced that the Chicago Cubs had re assigned first baseman Joe Mac ko to Portland. Macko hit only .212 in 22 games for Portland last season before being sent to Louisville where he hit .227 in 61 games. t The tamers of the Old West appreciated Sunny Bk's Kentucky quality. Nowadays, too, discriminating drinkers everywhere enjoy Sunny Brook's mild and mellow bourbon character. 990 DBTILLEBS PSflDUCTS CO. BOTH SS PROOF. and clean or I don't want to operate in the state," Flaherty declared before the commission last Wednesday. Monday he told the United Press in Brownsville that he would operate in California "when the opportunity presents itself," but would retain his headquarters in Brownsville. The talk along fight row is that Machen will meet Jackson at the Cow Palance Nov. 13 al though matchmaker B e n n i e Ford said he didn't know who the boxer would face. Jackson was stopped by Floyd Patterson this summer in the 10th round of a world title bout in New York and then taken to the hospital for observation. LING VICTORY LEAGUE Standings: w. L.
