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. Other Central
Point tossers are Bill An

Higinbotham and Jim Cog

Seattle Stops
Phoenix String
By United Press International
Seattle's Rainiers finally
did it Friday using the
Phoenix Giants' patented
late-inning rush to score a 6-5
victory over the Arizonians
and halt their winning string
at six straight.
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.

on Elliott's easy win in Fri
day night's "miracle mile,"

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.
