UU"l-- T I, Jim I if 11 M Suofey, Jute , 1911 porary tie for first place with the Milwaukee Braves who played Los Angeles Saturday night. Danny O'Connell, regular Giant second baseman, was taken to the hospital with a possible broken rib after being injured in the opening inning. O'Connell was hurt while slidinginto second base in an attempt to break up a double play. He left the field under his own power, being replaced by Ed Bressoud. The big righthander, who now has a 4-2 record, took over for Ruben Gomez after Smoky Burgess had singled and gone to third base on Steve Bilko's double in the sixth. It was the ninth hit off the Puerto Rican screwballer. Worthing ton intentionally walked Jerry Lynch to load the bases after Burgess had held third base on Don Hoak's infield out. Gus Bell then to Hank Sauer in left and "the old man" threw Burgess out as he tried to score after the catch. Held Hitlvss Worthington held the Red legs hitless for the rest of the game, and set the side down in order in the eighth and ninth innings. He gave up one walk during his stint.' The loss went to southpaw Joe Nuxhall, who was the first of four Cincinnati pitch ers to work and suffered his third defeat. He has two vic tories. The score was tied 3-3 when Worthington stifled the Red legs' bid. He came up in the home half of the sixth inning and put San Francisco ahead for the day by singling to Lright field off reliefer Tom Acker after Nuxhall had given up singles to Orlando Cepeda and Bob Schmidt. San Francisco scored three more times in the eighth frame with Worthington bringing home the Giants' final run with a sacrifice fly to centerf ield. A bad hop sin gle by Sauer over third base and an error on a throw to home by Burgess accounted for the two other runs. . , A crowd of 20,297 watched the lead change hands twice before the Giants went ahead to stay. Willie Mays drove in two runs with a sacrifice fly and fielder's choice but went hit less in four official trips to the plate as his hot streak be gan to fade. Jerry Anderson, Tom Laur ance, Pat McLaughlin and Herb Wheeler, who did not see duty last night, may all see some hill service for Med ford today. Either Bob Johnson or Alan McKinnis, the one who did not pitch last night, may start on the mound for the Cheney club.

Phil Sahrtzer's single with one away in the 10th inning drove in the winning run, giv ing the Seattle infielder four runs-batted-in for the night. A pinch-hit home run by the Giants' Bill Wilson had tied the score at 4-4 in the ninth and Leon Wagner's solo four bagger in the 10th had put the league leaders ahead, where they had finished the three previous nights before Shartaer's sane-deciding hit. Race Film To Be Seen On Tuesday First public showing in Medford of a color-sound auto racing film, "Double Header 500," is scheduled for 8 p.m. "Tuesday, June 10, at the Medford Senior High school auditorium. The two races are the 1957 Indianapolis and the 1957 Monza, Italy, invitational events. A third film 1,000 mile on the 1957 Mille Mig lia, Italian road race, will also be on the program. A number of service sta tions, garages and dealers, mostly service stations, are sponsors of the showing in co operation with Littrell Auto Parts. Invitation Needed While admission is free, seating capacity is limited and an invitational ticket will be necessary for attendance. These tickets may be obtain ed from the sponsoring firms in the valley. Sam Hanks, veteran of 12 Indianapolis races, drove a radically new car to victory at a record average speed of 135.6 miles per hour at In dianapolis. Several spectacu lar accidents without serious injuries, record speeds, and some odd incidents, establish this 41st running of the clas sic as one of the greatest. Second half of the Double Header 500 took place June 29th, 1957 at Monza. Ten -top American drivers were invit ed to compete with 10 Euro pean drivers on the 2V2 mile Monza oval. The 'Dream Race' failed to materialize be cause most of the European drivers, like Calvin Coolidge, "did not choose to run." In spite of the shortage of Euro pean competition, the first Monza Invitational 500 did not lack for excitement. Tony Bettenhausen's fast qualifying time in excess of 177 miles per hour, and Jimmy Bryan's winning average speed of 160.1 miles per hour, provid ed thrills. Softball Frays Monday Night; Florists Coming Jackson County Softball association weather per mitting, naturally will open on Monday evening, June 9, at Memorial field at the Veterans Administration domiciliary.

Lind has fielded a topnotch team for many sea sons and has had players who have gained Ail-American rec ognition. " Last year . the Maids and Florists played at Camp White in part of a twinbill which drew the best attendance of the season at Memorial sta dium. An overflow crowd of spectators was on hand. The tussle next Sunday will be the first at home this sea son against a women's team for the Maids. ter all mile records, accepted or otherwise," the outspoken Cerutty said in commenting on Elliott's easy win in Fri day night's "miracle mile," feature of the Compton Invi tational track and field meet. Elliott, in touring the Compton course in one-tenth of a second over the recog nized world record of 3:58, ran Ireland's Ron Delany in to the ground. Delany had been considered by most track filberts as the undefeated El liott's number one challeng er. Friday night he finished a very poor third to the Aus tralian's 3:58.1. "It was simply terrible," was Delany's comment as he stomped from the track after turning in a slow 4:10 mile, obviously disappointed.
