Los Angeles Takes Another On Nose From Giants, 1 2-3 By ALEX KAHN United Press Sports Writer Los Angeles 0?) The Los Angeles Dodgers, nesting in last place in the National league for the first time in 10 years, today called on big Don Newcombe to try and stem the rampaging San Francisco Giants. Manager Bill Rigney of the Giants sent bonus baby Mike McCormack with a 2-0 record against Newcombe who has two losses and ne wins this year.- The game was the last for both clubs before starting three weeks on road trips east. The victory-flushed Giants ran up their fifth straight win and fifth in a row over the Dodgers Monday night with a 12-3 triumph led by Willie Mays' two homers, one a grand slam blast over the left center field screen that the grinning star later said was the hardest hit homer of his career. The Big Blows , Mays drove in five runs Vith his two homers and Caryl Spencer also hit two Aomers to raise his total for he season to six, four of them ff the Dodgers. And the Giants' 17 hits was their largest total of the year. For Mays, the two circuit blows made a total of five in three games, all against the Dodgers. Although one of May's homers was over the left field screen, it probably would have been good for four bases in almost any park, landing about 30 rows up in Memorial coliseum. The Giants blasted starter Don Drysdale out of the box in two innings for his sixth defeat against one relief win. Meanwhile, Ruben Gomez was scoring his third win, all against the Dodgers, against two defeats for the season. Gomez struck out 10 men and walked only one while giv ing up six hits. Some Long Balls The Dodgers were able to get more extra base hits than normal for them, five of the safeties going for more than one base, climaxed hy Gil Hodges' homer in the bottom of the nfnh. But Manager Walt Alston said the Dodgers didn't get enough men on base to make the long hits count. And four errors contributed to their downfall as only five of the Giants' runs were earned. The Dodgers used five pitchers before thqy were able to stem the Giants' surge in the ninth when reliefer Clem Labine, set them down with a single walk. GAME RESCHEDULED San Francisco (IP) Sun day's rained-out game be tween the Los Angeles Dodg ers and San Francisco Giants will be played on Saturday, Aug. 30, as part of a day-night doubleheader at Seals Sta dium.

Despite their poor showing thus far this season, 29,770 fans . turned out Monday night to bring the Dodgers' Fanfare Last fall, when Medford and Grants Pass tied in their Southern Oregon conference football game and in, the league's final . standings, a vote of member schools was required and there was some delay before fans knew which team would represent District 6 A-l in the state play-offs. No delay is anticipated in the future unless a three-way tie occurs. Even then, selection of the district representative may be automatic. Method of determining the District 6 quarter - finalist when standings are tied was settled Saturday at the South ern Oregon conference meet ing at Central Point. According to the plan, when teams knot in the stand ings and also in the game be tween them, the club with the most total overall yard age will gain the play-offs. If two teams tie in the final standings but not in the game in which they meet, the one which defeated the other is the district representative. In the case of a three-way deadlock, if one of the teams has beaten both of the other two, it will advance into the state eliminations. Otherwise, a drawing will be required. ALL-STAR TEAM PLANNED Southern Oregon confer ence baseball coaches or Iheir representatives at the Saturday session left it up to this writer to conduct the poll for the league's all star baseball squad. Only the coaches will vote. Bal lots are being sent out this week. " GP POINTS FOR TORNADO Medford and Grants Pass high track teams meet here next Saturday in the first dual track meet between the schools in a number of years. We can't remember off-hand just when the last two-way encounter was. Coach Russ Werner's GP Caveman thin clads are known to be point ing for Mentor Dean Benson's Black Tornado aggregation. Last week end Werner, an ex-Medford high star, held several of his athletes out of the triangular with Crater and Ashland. These included javelin thrower Glen Win ningham, hurdler Jim Mary ott, pole vaulter Mike Spar lin and high jumper Fred Thomas. Mike Rose took part in the discus but not in the shot put. A story out of Grants Pass said the track men were kept out of action to avoid unnecessary injury and to give some of the other quad members a chance. There are those who'll tell you they were being rested up for the Tornado clash. ROGER JOHNSON LOST Ccach Benson rates Med ford's Tornado as having an "outside" chance against the Grants Pass Cavemen, -whose power often has been demonstrated this spring. Medford's ambitions for a successful season have been plagued by more than its, share of misfortunes and the latest won't help when it comes to meeting the Cavemen. Roger Johnson, candidate for district mile honors suffered a broken bone in his foot last week and is through for the. sea-' son. What makes it rougher for the forthcoming GP dual is that the Cavemen have gained a capable miler in Ken Simmons. Previous ly a student at Grants Pass. Simmons has returned after attending ' school at Del Norte high. Crescent City, Calif. VIE WITH FROSH Performances of the Black Tornado in the cinder and field test with Grants Pass will be used in a mail-o-graph-ic meet with the University of Oregon Frosh. Medford high and the UO freshmen will mail their times, heights and distances to each other for comparison. , KOCH BROAD JUMPING Medford high may have another broad jumper in George Koch. The junior trackman has started work in that event. He was iumn- iuy wcu in puysitcu educa tion class the other day. : n i : i j RADIOGRAPHIC When Ashland high is host to Phoenix for a dual track tiff on Wednesday, the Griz zlies also will conduct a ra diographic meet with Corval- total home attendance for 20 games to 557,289.

The contacts between the widely separated schools will be handled by "ham" radio. A recent similar meet with Ashland contend ing with McMinnville, West Linn and Tillamook met with considerable interest. TWO-TOURNEY QUALIFIER When Fred McKeen, Jacksonville high, came in second in the mile in the District 5B track meet Sat urday we wondered what his plans would be for this com:.ng week end. Fred by taking singles runner-up in the District 4 tennis meet 'last Friday, qualified for the stale net tournament. His place in the mile gained him a berth in the Oregon B school track tangle. Both of these Oregon championship events are set for this Friday and Sat urday, the tennis tourney at Corvallis and the track affair at Springfield. We haven't heard how McKeen will resolve the issue. He may forego one or the oth er, although he could start out in the tennis tourney Friday and. if eliminated, run in the mile on Satur day. SEYMOUR TO MARINES Bill Seymour, coach of foot ball, basketball and baseball this year at Jacksonville High school, has enlisted in the Marine Corps and will enter officers training next Sep tember at Quantico, Va. He said he plans to loaf this sum mer. PARASITE KILLS FISH Clayton Hannon, Klam ath Falls Herald and News sports writer, mentions in his field and stream, col umn, that fishermen at Lake of the Woods when the ice broke reported large numbers of dead fish on the shore and on the bottom. He said that, according to Art Gurlock of the state game commission, the situa tion isn't one to be alarmed about right now. A parasitic tapeworm is blamed. The worm is not harmful to human beings since it is confined to the organs of the fish and does not affect the flesh or skin. The worm reaches the fish through a cycle. It starts wifh the droppings of birds which are eaten by bugs which are in turn consumed by fish. When the fish die and come to the top of the water, they are eaten by birds. Gurlock informed Hannon that there is no way to control the problem but that he thinks the tape worm gradually will die out. I ' NEW STATE PRIDE George Pasero, sports edi tor of the Oregon Journal, points to the state pride which has resulted from the chopping up of the Pacific Coast conference. "Our south ern neighbors have per formed one notable service for the state of Oregon," he remarked. In the past, the pride suffered from the rival ry of the two major state schools, University of Oregon and Oregon State college. Now, Pasero points out, some of the most rabid supporters of each school cheer for the other except when the two are playing each other. FAREWELL FOR SIMPSON A farewell dinner for Al Simpson, head football coach at .Ashland High school, has been planned for Saturday evening. May 24 at the Bellview Grange halL Formeivplayers of Al and acquaintances are in vited. Simpson is leaving to take a coaching post at Cottage Grove. He has coached at Medford high and Southern Oregon col lege as well as Ashland. WHAT ABOUT PUCKETT Someone has suggested that arrangements be made for Jim Puckett to run during the A-l and A-2 state track meets at Corvallis on May 30 and 31. Puckett, sprinter for Cove High school, is a Class B per former, and under ordinary circumstances not eligible for running in the A school affair. Might be all right if it could be arranged at no dis advantage to the A-l and A-2 qualifyers and if Puckett's placing would not count in the scoring. An objection, however, is that his running, ffMMp- 5 iff - I Vmn few GRIMACING IN PAIN is big Hank Sauer of the San Francisco Giants as he was hit in the ribs by Los Angeles Dodgers' pitcher, Larry Sherry.

The field will be led by three NASCAR champions Buck Baker of Spartan burg, S.C., Bob Wellborn of Greensboro, N.C., and Jim Reed of Peekskill, N.Y. while not for points, could detract from the glory of the A-l and A-2 dash champion ships and a good share of the larger schools may not go along with the idea. The sepa rate B school state meet is dis advantageous to outstanding athletes from time to time but is a price the Bs have to pay for having their own cham pionship. DOG IN WAY Sprinters Kerman Ben nett and Jerry Kime and Coach Ed Knapp of Crater high hope that the dogs will be kept off the track when the District 6 A-l track meet is held at Grants Pass on May 24. They report that a dog which got in their way in the 100-yard dash spoiled their chances in the triangular meet last Saturday in the Climate city.

That was one of the smash hits in a memorable musical. Memorable mostly because it tells a fanciful tale of how Washington won and the Yan kees lost the pennant. It is -extremely doubtful whether such a classical con dition will . arise this season, but Washington has, at least, come up with a young fellow who has gobs of that ingredi ent known as "heart." He is Albie Pearson and he had to have "heart," Because if anybody smaller than Albie ever competed in the. majors aside from the midget who once was a pinch-hitter for. the SPORTS Police Officers Get Prison Terms Portland IIP) Two former Portland police officers were sentenced to 18 months in the state penitentiary Monday by Circuit Judge Charles W.

NEW YORK CITY By OSCAR FRALEY i Sports Writer United Press late and unlamented Browns nobody seems able to pin it down. A Little Stretching Brown-eyed Albie is listed on the Washington roster as being 5 feet, 6 inches tall. "That's stretching me a lit tle," . he grins. "Actually, I'm 5 feet, 5 and three-eighths inches. Sure, three-eighths. After all, that doesn't come to one-half, now does it?" . A Californian, the minia ture man hails from a section where there are a number of race tracks. But he never con sidered becoming a jockey. "After all," he mused, "most of them were bigger than I was." Pearson, in! case you have forgotten, is the ball players' golf champion. Just to prove a point, he won the title this spring in Florida by beating Johnny Gray . of the Phillies in the finals. Gray is 6 feet, 4 inches tall. The mighty mite for a long time debated whether to be a professional golfer pr a base ball player. On the fairways 'he was good enough to shoot a pair of 67's on a full-sized course and the pro golf life looked good. Money Needed "But baseball was a bigger challenge," .gays the "heart" man. "Besides, to play - pro golf you need a certain amount of money until you can establish yourself. This way I didn't have any finan cial troubles while I was working my way up." There was no doubt in Al bie's mind that he could make the major league grade. So he served five years in the mi nors, convincing everybody that despite his small stature he had the talents for the big top. His journeys took him to San Jose, Albany of the Eastern League, Montgomery of the Sally League, Okla home of the Texas League where he led the circuit with a .371 batting average and then Sari Francisco before winning his centerfield spot at Washington this season.

He won 17 of his 18 bouts, nine by knockouts. His only defeat was on a split decision to Marty Marshall, who broke Sonny's jaw in two places.
