avemen Trip
mgm
Grants Pass high, rated the
No. 1 track and field power
in Southern Oregon, matched
its reputation with perform
ance here Saturday afternoon
to capture the Kiwanis tro
phy in the 19th annual Rogue
relays. And as predicted, host
Medford was the strongest
challenger.
The Cavemen, collecting
first places in six of the 12
events and setting a record
in one, tabulated 90 points,
nine better than the Medford
Black Tornado's 81. These two
were well ahead of the rest
of the field. Marshfield had
54, Crater 48, Klamath Falls
36 and Ashland 12.
Two records were shatter
ed. Glen Winningham heaved
the javelin a tremendous 207
feet-6 inches for Grants Pass
for one of them.- Hardy Spur
geon, Marshfield's big all-
around athlete hurled the dis
cus 157-5V for the other.
Medford Wins Three
Other triumphs for the
Cavemen were in the 440
yard, 880-yard, two-mile and
shuttle hurdle relays, the
javelin and the pole vault.
Medford claimed the shot put,
high jump and distance med
ley relays. Marshfield the
broad jump relay and Crater
the mile relay race.
Top individual efforts of
the day included a 6-foot 2
inch high jump by Fred
Thomas, Grants Pass, a 53-9 Vi
sholput by Mike Murray,
Medford :50.4 and :51 flat
quarter-miles by Mike Russell,
Medford, and a 12-434 pole
vaule by Mike Sparlin, Grants
Pass. -
Medford 16-11 in the high
jump tabulation was just one
inch better than that of
Grants Pass. George Koch
jumped 5-11, and Pete Ras
mussen and Jerry Shults each
had 5-6 for the Tornado while
Sparlin and Buford Smith
each 5-4 for the Cavemen.
Frank Albert had a put of
47-6V4 and Jim Funston a
shove of 46V in combining
for the Tornado's 147-5 ip
the shot.
Almost Took Mile
Russell's :51 flat was in
the distance medley which
Medford won by a quarter of
a lap. The :50.4 almost en
abled the Tornado to take the
mile- relay. Crater and Grants
Pass had that race pretty
much to themselves for a
while after the first lap. Med
ford lagged far. Then Ron
Reich closed the gap consid
erably in the third leg.
Russell, starting the anchor
lap, was 80 to 90-yards be
hind the leaders. He over
took Paul Lindquist of the
Cavemen on the home stretch
and was only a yard or so
behind Jerry Kime when the
Crater anchor hit the tape.
Sparlin's top vault was just
one-fourth inch short of the

fort, indicated that he may
challenge the GP man for dis
trict laurels.
Jones Comes Up
Grants Pass took the quarter-mile
relay by 15 strides,
with Jim Klett leading in the
Marshfield anchor. Medford
finished third and a bad first
baton exchange kept it from
doing better. John Jones of
the Tornado ran a torrid last
lap. The GP two mile team
won with fair ease and the
Cavemen 880 crew by about
nine yards.

Lindquist of GP with 19-9

factor didn't actually help his
long throw.

Jobless Dropping
In State Totals,
But Still High
- Salem OPI About 8,300
fewer Oregon workers were
seeking employment at the be
ginning of this month than
last month, the State Unem
ployment compensation com
mission said Saturday.
The number of unemployed
dropped from 73,600 to. 65,
300 during March but this
was still above the first of
April a year ago.
Improvement was noted in
outside activities with a better
March than Oregon usually
experiences weather - wise.
Employment increases in
lumbering, construction and
agricultural work were re
ported by local commission
offices.
All offices noted a larger
number of jobless in then
area than in 1957 but only
the Astoria and Ontario of
fices did not find an improve
ment during the past month.
Payments to insured unem
ployed reached $5,636,921
during March, highest March
total in the commission's his
tory and only exceeded by the
preceding two months.
The unemployment trust
fund balance was at $26,250.
000 and employer tax rates
would all have gone to 2.7
per cent if Gov. Robert D.
Holmes had not requested a
14 million dollar loan from
the Federal government.
Insured claimants dropped
from the mid-January peak of
around 52,000 to about 39,
000, but the number of people
who have drawn all their
benefits now stands at about
13,000. This is more than
twice the number of persons
who had exhausted their
benefits at this time last year.
Most of those who have ex
hausted their benefits are
still without jobs, the commis
sion said.

Kansas City
Happy Over
Terry Deal
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
The Kansas City Athletics
are chortling in the belief
they "put one over" on the
mighty New York Yankees
when they acquired Ralph
Terry.
Terry was a mere pawn
last summer when the Yank
ees swung their big deal in
volving Billy Martin and
Harry Simpson but he's de
veloped so fast that Kansas
City coach Spud Chandler, an
ex-Yankee pitching great, says
he can win 20 games this year.
"He's got all the tools to
do it," said Chandler after
Terry went the route for the
second time this spring in. a
5-1 victory Friday over the
Pittsburgh Pirates. "I would
n't trade Terry for any pitch
er in the league, except pos
sibly Herb Score, and that
goes for Whitey Ford and
Billy Pierce."
Shut Out Phillies
Terry had only a 5-12 rec
ord last season but in 1956
had a 13-4 mark at Denver
and late that season was im
pressive in a couple of start
ing assignments against the
Boston Red. Sox. In Terry's
previous outing he shut out
the Philadelphia Phillies, 4
0, and he now has pitched
22 consecutive innings with
out permitting an earned run.
Two other games both
at night were played on
Good Friday. A two-run hom
er by Frank Robinson spark
ed the Cincinnati Redlegs to
a 6-3 victory over the Wash
ington Senators while the
Chicago White Sox edged the
St. Louis Cardinals 6-5, on
Sherm Lollar's two-out single
in the ninth inning.
France Plans
To Become Atom
Power in 1958
Paris (IP) France intends
to become a major atomic
power in 1958.
The nation whose scientists
first discovered radioactivity
in 1896 feels it has finally
reached the point where it
can join the "atomic club"
hitherto monopolized by the
United States, Britain and the
Soviet Union.
Membership has been lim
ited to these three nations be
cause they alone have the
atomic bomb. But rumors
have been circulating here for
months that the French may
explode their own atom bomb
this spring.
Whether the French do or
not makes little difference
from their point of view,
since they are hard at work
on many other projects.
The Handicaps
An atomic submarine is
under construction and pri
vate industry may start work
this year on an atomic tanker.
New energ y-producing
plants also will open up.
The new developments not
only will put France in a bet
ter political bargaining posi
tion, but also give the nation
a badly needed psychological
shot-in- the-arm. J
During 11 patient and often
frustrating years, French sci
entists have been working on
building up the country's
atomic energy program. Bri
tain, America and Russia, all
got off to a head start while
Frange was under wartime
occupation. Also the French
have been hampered by lack
of money, lack of basic atomic
information and lack of
trained scientists.
At present, France has 7,000
atomic scientists and techni
cians. Under a new program
she hopes to get 12,000 more.
Isotope Factory
Also under the new pro
gram, France will benefit
from additional equipment.
Two new atomic piles should
start operating this year, and
three next year.
The government is also
building an isotope factory to
produce uranium 235 essen
tial to bombs, engines and
power stations. The national
ized electricity industry is
building at atomic power sta
tion in the Loire Valley town
of Chinon.
The atomic energy plant at
take the lead in both games,
scoring all their runs in the
second inning of each game.
The five run second inning in
the first game was enough to
put SOC in front but Hum
boldt came back with one run
in the fifth and two each in
the sixth and seventh to win.
The second game was the
same story when the Raiders
picked up their three runs in
the second to lead 3-1 before
Humboldt scored twice in the
fifth to take the winning mar
gin.
Wilber Has Three Hitter
Dave Wilbur of the HSC
Lumberjacks pitched three-
hit ball in the second game
as winning pitcher. Dave
D'Olivo was the loser. Win
ning hurler of the first game
was Jim Richardson with Ker-
mit McLemore suffering the
loss and giving up four hits
and four runs in six innings.
Rich Dudley of the 'Jacks
was the hitter of the day. He
knocked out a single, double,
and triple in four trips to the
plate and knocked in one run
in the first game. Dudley
doubled in the second game in
four trips to the plate but he
got on twice more on an er
ror and filder's choice.
Nick Ciznick of HSC also
hit three for four in the first
game picking up two singles
and a double. Ron Maurer was
trie only Raider to get more
than one hit in either game.
He picked up two singles in
the first game, driving in two
runs.
MeLemore Doubles
Leroy King let off the big
Raider inning in the first
game with a free pass and was
sacrified to second. Gordie
Thoreson drew another walk
and both runners moved
ahead on an infield out.
Pitcher McLemore then
doubled scoring both runners
Three more consecutive walks
followed producing the third
run and Larry Maurer's single
brought in two more as the
Raiders sent ten men to the
plate.
Raider Jim Dietz led off
the scoring spree in the sec
ond game by singling to right
Two errors following pro
duced a run and a wild pitch
by Wilbur sent across anoth
er. Larry Maurer knocked
across the final run on a
single' to right.
The two wins gave Hum
boldt the series edge two
games to one.

Kid Gavilan

Tiger Jones
Philadelphia OP) Come
back Kid Gavilan, heartened
by his "rubber" match tri
umph .over Ralph (Tiger)
Jones, set his sights today on
the welterweight title he once
held, and beyond that the
middleweight crown.
"My biggest ambition in
life is a shot at the welter
weight title," the- "Keed"
from Camaguey said. "After
that, I want to fight for the
middleweight championship.
I think I can take Sutrar Rav
Robinson and I've already
beaten Carmen Basilio."
The 32-year-old Gavilan
can still din into his stnrv
past for his famous left hook
to help his quest for a return
to the throne room.
The blow smashed into the
body turned every tide and
enabled him to gain a hard
fought split-decision triumph
over Jones of Yonkers, N.Y.,
in their nationally televised
bout Friday night. x
Gavilan gained his tri
umph, his 105th in a 15-year
career, on the votes of iudeei
Jim Mina and Nate Lopinson.
Mina scored it 47-44 in favor
of Gavilan under Pennsyl
vania's five-Doint-must svs-
tem. Lopinson went 47-43 for
uavilan.
Referee Joe Sweenv saw it
46-44 for Jones. United Press
had it 45-42 for Gavilan.
The defeat was the 22nd
for Jones in 71 bouts. Gavi
lan has f ought in 141 matches.
