TO MAIL TRIBUNE, MtHori. Ofgon, Friday. My 23, 1958 SF Hants Just Same Old Club to Milwaukee Braves Br FRED DOWN United Pies Sports Writer You'll have to excuse the Milwaukee Braves if they think San Francisco's "won der boys" look suspiciously like those same old sixth place Giants. The Braves had their first look of the season at the Giants Thursday night and could have been playing the New York Yankees for all the respect they showed a team which had won five straight and 12 of 14 games to open up a 2V6-game lead in the Na tional league. The final score was 9-3 and the chief executioners were Lew Burdette and Frank Torre, a couple of fellows who knew the Giants away back when . . . Burdette had been having his troubles this season with a 3-3 record and only two com plete games in seven starts. But he recognized those Giants he was 2-0 against them last year and 14-7 life time with an eight-hitter San Diego Squeezes Portland Nine 3-2 By GENE BRYANT United Press Sports Writer The Seattle Rainiers, afflict ed by a hitting drouth earlier in the season, have apparent ly found the Phoenix ballpark to their liking a rare thing in the Pacific Coast league this year. For the second night in a row the Rainiers out-slugged Phoenix at the Giants' homer ridden ballpark to take a 15 12 victory. Gale Wade led the onslaught with two homers, a pair of doubles and a single, driving in five Seattle runs. Nine pitchers paraded to the mound before the slugging carnival was over. In other games, San Diego squeezed by Portland, 3-2, and Vancouver made it three straight over Spokane, 7-1, to give the Indians sole posses sion of the cellar. The Salt Lake City-Sacramento contest was rained out. Interesting Game Phoenix made its game with Seattle interesting, but a big seven-run sixth-inning Kip, Lady, Lobo RVRC Champions Kip, Lady and Lobo claimed first place trophies in Rogue Valley Retriever club season competition after the fifth and final picnic trial of the rivalry last Sunday. Kip, owned and handled by Kenneth Den man took the high point trophy in the open stake. Lady, owned and han dled by Otto Lilya, gained season honors in the qualify ing stake. Richard McKin ley's Lobo was puppy winner. Imp, owned and handled by Leonard Lilya, previously had clinched the derby. Dogs and owners taking the other high places in the con tention for open stake points were Smoke, Hillman Miller, second; Muffin, Dr. Eugene Meyerding, third; and Boots, Claude Miles, fourth. Miller's Tug was second in the qualifying. Muffin was third, and Eugene Hunt's Rip took fourth. Jack Boettcher's Skip was runner up to Imp in the derby, while Charles Stelle's Tally was third and Vera Lilya's fourth. Nick Second Denman's Nick followed Lobo in the puppy point-getting and Tom Richard's Row dy gained third. Cappy, own ed and handled by Norton Smith, was fourth. Kip won the open, Muffin the qualifying, Skip the derby and Nick the puppy event in last Sunday's trial. Land series were conducted in the Hoover lakes area and the water series on the north side of Rogue river in the military bridge site. Hot weather made it hard for dogs to work at their best. The trial was the last formal one of the season. Judges were Robert Morris and Otto Lilya, open; Ken Denman and Tom Rickard, qualifying; Dr. Lee Harlow and W. V. Cavanaugh, derby, and Vera Lilya and Pam Per kins, puppy. SCVDAY TRIAL RESULTS: Open First, Kip; second. Black le. owned by Lee Carter and han dled by Rickard: third.

The Giants put on their customary ninth-inning rally but Mario Fricano, fourth Rainier hurl- er, retired the last two bat ters to end the threat with the bases loaded. Seattle tore into Curt Bar clay, promising rookie pitcher for the New York Giants last year, with a vengeance, scor ing a single run in the first and five more in the second. The Rainiers added two more in the fourth off reliefer Ralph Void and finished their scoring for the night in the seven run sixth frame. Both clubs had 15 hits but the Giants hit four homers to the Rainiers' two. Tom Haller, Willie McCovey, Joe Amal fitano and Max Surkont hit for the distance for Phoenix while .Jim Dyck put one out of the park for Seattle's other four-bagger. Barclay was charged with the loss, Seattle starter Art Fowler getting the win. ' Mounties Triumph Vancouver scored five run in the first two innings at Spo kane and coasted the rest of the way for an easy win. The victory gave the Mounties a one-and-a-half game lead over second place Phoenix. Barry Shetrone led the winners with three for four and Joe Frazier chipped in with a solo homer. Russ Heman went the distance for the win; At San Diego, back-to-back doubles by Dave Pope and Earl Averill gave the Padres their first victory in the cur rent series with Portland. Gary Bell picked up the win, his sixth against two defeats, while Al Lary suffered his second loss. George Freese homered for the Beavers. Look Says Stilt Will Barnstorm New York (IP) Look maga zine said today in a copyright ed article that Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain, A 1 1 - America center at Kansas University, will quit college basketball to begin a 160-game barnstorm ing tour that will gross $250, 000. Chamberlain plans to form his own barnstorming troupe that will be made up of 10 white and 10 Negro players, according to the magazine. The tour is expected to start early during the next basket ball season. The seven-foot Negro star from Philadelphia has another season of eligibility' remaining at Kansas. However, he main tained in the article that the brand of college basketball played there "was hurting my chances of ever developing into a successful professional player." The Distinguished Service Medal was created in 1918. that gave him his fourth win. He had five at the same stage of last season. Torre Tees Off Torree, who hit three of his season total of five homers against the Giants last season, also recognized old friends in new uniforms. He knocked in five runs, three with his first homer of the year, one with a sacrifice fly and another when he drew one of relief pitcher Stu Miller's two bases-filled walks in the midst of a three run second-inning rally. In fact, the only Giant to give the Braves much trouble was a felolw they never saw before: rookie-of-the-year can didate Orlando Cepeda, who had three hits including a two-run homer in the sixth inning. It was Cepeda's 12th one less than NL leader Frank Thomas of the Pitts burgh Pirates. The victory left the Braves a game and a half behind the Giants but they're right on the 1957 schedule which carried them to a world champion ship. They had an identical 19-11 record after 30 games last season and trailed the first-place Cincinnati Redlegs by two games. Ernie Banks knocked in four runs with his eighth homer and two doubles to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 7-4 victory over the Phila delphia Phillies in the only other NL game. Moe Drabow sky went 7 13 innings to win his second game while 1957 NL rookie of the year Jack Sanford suffered his fourth loss. Yanks Off and Running The runaway Yankees roll ed to their ninth straight win and stretched their American league lead to an incredible 8V2 games for this stage of a pennant race when they edged out the Detroit Tigers, 5-4. Rookie Marv Thorneberry's ninth-inning homer enabled Ryne Duren, who struck out five batters and yielded only a pinch homer to Gus Zernial in three innings, to win his first major league game. The Yankees have won 13 of then last 15, 15 of their last 17 and 22 of 27 for the season. The Boston Red Sox whip ped the Kansas City Athletics, 8-5, the Cleveland Indians beat the Washington Senators, 3-1, and the Chicago White Sox scored a 5-1 triumph over the Baltimore Orioles in other A.L. activity. Ted Williams slammed his 16th grand slam homer of his career, high among active players, and Ted Lepcio also homored as the Red Sox scored their sixth victory in eight games. Rookie Jim (Mudcat) Grant won his fourth game for the Indians when they snapped a 1-1 tie with two eighth- inning tallies. A crowd of only 632 small est at Chicago's Comisky Park in 15 years saw Jim Wilson scatter nine hits to win his fourth game for the White Sox. Bowling ROGUE VALLEY LEAGUE Standings: W. L.
