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.

The last time the Dodgers
were in the National league
cellar was on July 2, 1948.
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.

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,

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.

In Wednesday's fight at

to Marty Marshall, who broke
Sonny's jaw in two places.
Cuban Mederos. also ex
