10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Friday, April 18, 1958 Jack H Orioles arshman's Into First Relieving Spot in Loo Hems By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Wriler Everyone thought Paul Richards slipped his clutch when he dealt for a pitcher with a slipped disc, but that same pitcher southpaw Jack Harshman enabled the Balti more Orioles to slip quietly Into first place in the Ameri can league today. Harshman, whose back was uch a question mark that he didn't sign a formal Balti more contract until last week, vindicated Richards' judg ment Thursday night with a nifty relief performance that earned him the victory in a 4-0 triumph over the Washington Senators. Wearing a special corset for support, Harshman came to the rescue of rookie Milt Pappas in the fourth inning with two men on and one out. He limited Washington to one single the rest of the way to gain his first win for the Orioles since they obtained him from the White Sox last Dec. 2. Home runs by Gus Triandos and Brooks Robinson helped the Orioles to their second straight victory which left them the only unbeaten team in the league. Yanks, White Sox Win The Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 3-1; the White Sox edged the Tigers, 4-3, and the Indians edged the Athletics, 3-2. Oregon's 1957 Deer Kill Totals 116,589 Portland Oregon deer ords have been kept. The hunters did it again.

Final computations of Ore gon's big game harvest show a grand total of 116,589 deer taken by 221,960 hunters dur ing the 1957 season. This is 9,211 less deer taken than during the 1956 season.

OP) Mar Iene Bauer Hagge, who seems to catch the winning golf habit when the ladies PGA tour hits Texas, started in search of her third straight Zaharias Open 1 golf tourna ment title today. The 24-year-old blonde.'who has whipped her game into shape for victories here the past two seasons after just so so performances on the win ter tour, has been here for 10 days honing up her game on the short, but exacting Beau mont Country club course with its par of 73. The lightly-regarded Cubs bounced to the top of the Na tional league standings with a 4-3 victory over the Card inals; the Giants beat the Dodgers, 7-4, and the Braves defeated the Pirates 6-1, in the only other games sched uled. Johnny Kucks of the Yanks held the Red Sox to seven hits and blanked them until the ninth when Jackie Jen sen unloaded his third homer of the season. Pete Runnels collected Boston's other hits Mickey Mantle's first hit of the season was a towering homer off loser Tom Brewer in the fifth inning. Ted Wil liams made his first appear ance as a pinch hitter in the eighth and grounded out. Early Wynn chalked up the White Sox' first victory of the season, although Gerry Staley was called in to check the Tigers from the seventh on. Ex-Tiger Bubba Phillips drove in what proved to be the winning run in the sixth after Al Smith had driven in a pair of runs for Chicago earlier in the contest off loser Frank Lary. Reno Bertoia homered for Detroit, Mickey Vernon's pinch double drove in the two runs in the ninth that gave the In dians their first victory of the season over the A's. Duke Maas, aided by Bob Cerv's homer, nursed a 2-1 lead until the ninth whe.n singles by Roger Maris and Preston Ward along with Vernon's two-out double proved his downfall. Rookie Jim Mudcat Grant went the route for Cleveland and yielded eight hits. Second Victory Dale Long's sacrifice fly, following singles by Walt Moryn and Bobby Thomson in the eighth inning, scored the run that gave the Cubs their second victory in a row over the Cards. Chicago man ager Bob Scheffing used three pitchers, starter Glenn Hobbie winding up with the victory. John Goryl homered off loser Lindy McDaniel. Stan Musial had a homer and a single, thereby breaking Mel Ott's National league record for increased his total bases to 5,046. Ott's record was 5,041 Rookie third baseman Jim Devenport rapped out four hits in the Giants' triumph over Don Newcombe of the Dodgers. Newcombe, charged with San Francisco's first five runs, left the game in the fourth inning because of pulled muscle in his back. Southpaw Johnny Antonelli started for the Giants but the victory went to Curt Barclay, who relieved him in the fourth. Gino Cimoli homered for the Dodgers while Bob Schmidt connected for the Giants. The game drew only 12,500 fans at Seals Stadium compared with the crowds of better than 20,000 which wit nessed the first two encounters. Eddie Mathews continued his spectacular slugging for the Braves, driving in five of their runs against the Pirates with his third and fourth horn ers of the year. Lew Burdette, meanwhile, held the Pirates to seven hits in chalking up his first victory.

A record-shattering crowd of 90,000 was anticipated for the afternoon titlt as major league basebal made its bow in the land of make believe. While there has been some speculation that the Coliseum would be a hitter's paradise, there is reason to believe that the pitchers will like it better than the San Francisco park. For Seals Stadium, where San Francisco defeated Los Angeles, 7-4, Thursday to take the series by a 2-1 margin, seems to be a bad place for established hurlers. Antonelli Yanked Johnny Antonelli, the Giants' southpaw, from whom manager Bill Rigney is ex pecting great things this year, didn't get past the fourth in ning and was jerked after giv ing up six walks, five hits and four runs during the three and two-thirds frames he worked. Don Newcombe of the Dodg ers also checked out during the fourth with a pulled shoulder muscle. He was charged with the loss as well as five runs on four hits.

LA Dodgers Greeted by Festivities By ALEX KAHN Los Angeles (IP) Major league baseball arrived in Los Angeles today and the City of the Angels embraced the Dodgers as their home team with an outburst of festivi ties rivaling that staged three days ago when San Francisco accepted the Giants as their own club. The civic celebration got underway Thursday night when the Dodgers and Giants flew in from San Francisco after playing the opening three games there. It con tinued today with a City Hall ceremony attended by base ball and government digni taries. The pre-game festivi-1 ties included a parade to the Dodgers temporary home at Memorial Coliseum and an; other public ceremony there. The indications were that the biggest crowd ever to witness a baseball game in the history of the sport would turn out for the opener. Dodg er ticket officials would not make a public estimate but personnel of the huge stadi-1 urn confidently said the crowd would exceed 90,000. The present baseball record is 86,- j 288 who jammed Cleveland Municipal stadium in 1948 for a World Series game against the Boston Braves. Welcoming Banquet Held Thursday night the Dodg ers were guests of honor at welcoming banquet spon sored by the newly-organized chapter of the Baseball Writ ers association in the Biltmore Bowl. More than 1200 Dodger fans jammed the banquet room to pay tribute to their team. Among the baseball elite present were Commis sioner Ford C. Frick Nation al League President Warren Giles, Dodger. President Wal ter O'Malley and Giant Presi dent Horace Stoneham. Los Angeles, which in cludes in its environs the movie city of Hollywood, gave the Dodgers a touch of show business glamor by having such celebrities as Bob Hope and his wisecracks for laughs, the singing of Dinah Shore, and Bob Crosby and his band.
