Giants First, But Injuries Hurt Team San Francisco (UPI) Yes the San Francisco Giants re mained in . first place in the National league today but it was anybody's guess how long they could keep their balance. Manager Bill Rigney's tot tery crew was blanked, 3-0, Monday by B'ob Purkey of the Cincinnati Redlegs. It was the Giants ninth loss in 13 contests and left them only three percentage points ahead of second place Milwaukee which has lost four straight. The Braves were idle.

HI TOUI COMMUNITY STATE SHOOT OPENS THURSDAY Medford Gun club, layout of which is shown here, will be scene of the Oregon State shoot of the Pacific International Trapshooting associa tion Thursday through Sunday, June 12 through 15. Mem bers of the club have been working for Kdays to get the grounds in order and complete arrangements for the tourney. Decent weather yesterday gave a handful of members a full day, to work on location. Some shooters will arrive on Wednesday to test their sighths against practice targets. A program of registered warm-up shooting is planned on Thurs day and state title gunning will begin on Friday. Titles will be decided in 16-yard clasa, singles and doubles and in handicap rivalry. Approximately 250 shooters from through cut Oregon, are expected by Sunday of the tourney Jensen EEOasts I4th Home Run For Team Victory United Press International For downright stubborness, we give you a guy like Jackie Jensen, who simply refuses to accept the idea that the Yan kees have the pennant prac tically all locked up. Jensen still feels the Red Sox have a . chance and he's bent on proving his point even if he has to do it all by himself. The stocky San' Francisco slugger certainly went about it the right way Monday night when he blasted his 14th homer plus double and a single to drive in four runs in a 9-4 victory over Detroit. Jensen's performance paced the spurting Red Sox to their sixth straight victory and boosted them into a virtual tie for second place IV2 games behind the idle Yanks. In his California home, Jen sen keeps an autograpned pic ture of Joe DiMaggio which he obtained while both were members of the Yankees. Di Mag inscribed the photo this way: . . ' "Make 'em all moan, Jackie boy." And that' exactly what Jensen is doing. His home run total is second in the Am erican league only to Bob Cery's total of 15, and Jen sen's 44 runs batted in put him only one behind the Kan sas City outfielder, who also leads that department. Not bad for a fellow who wanted to quit the game in disgust after the Senators peddled him to the Red Sox five years ago. Jensen's homer . Monday night was a 400-foot wallop that came with two men on in the third inning and high lighted a six-run rally.. The homer off loser Paul Foytack, was the blond belter's third in two days. It gave big Frank Sullivan a lead that enabled him to coast to his third victory via a nine-hit effort. Moore Gets Decision But Lacks Knockout Sacramento, Calif. (UPI) Light heavyweight champ ion Archie Moore, the for ever man in the world of box ing, worked up a good sweat. Monday night, but could not score his 127th knockout as he took an easy decision over Howard King. Moore was trying to beat a record he already equalled, which was set - by Young Stribling between 1921 and 1933. But though he floored the 194Vi pound King three tunes during the 10 round bout, Moore was unable to keep him on the canvas. In three previous fights, Moore had floored the Reno, Nev., fighter a total of six times. However, he has never been able to keep King down. Moore said he tried "to get him (King) in the later rounds, but he was too elus ive. He's getting to be mighty foxy, that boy." The light heavy champion did a good deal of road work chasing King around the ring for the first six rounds. Then in the seventh Moore unbolt Another three-run ' homer by Gus Triandos helped the Baltimore Orioles clip the Cleveland Indians, 5-2, be hind Southpaw Billy O'Dell's four-hit hurling. Triandos. slammed his 12th homer off Cal McLish in the first inning following singles by Al Pilarcik . and Gene Woodling. That proved to be all the margin O'Dell needed for his sixth victory against seven defeats. O'Dell Had It J. W. Porter doubled home two runs for Cleveland in the bottom of the first inning. O'Dell then settled down to retire the next 16 batters be fore Rocky Colavito singled in the seventh inning. Rain cheated the White Sox out of an apparent vic tory when it forced postpone ment of a game against the Senators with Chicago lead ing, 7-1, in the fourth inning. Early Wynn appeared to be breezing to his sixth victory when the game was called. He had allowed two hits while the White Sox raked Al Cicotte and Chuck Stobbs for nine, including three singles by Billy Goodman and a home run by Tito Francona. Bob Purkey pitched Cin cinnati into third place with a 3-0 victory over San Fran cisco in the only National league game scheduled. Purkey yielded only six hits and didn't walk a batter as he rolled to his fifth victory in a row and eighth of the season against a single defeat. Steve Bilko connected for a two-run homer off left-hander Johnny Antonelli in the fourth inning and the Red legs scored another run in the seventh when Eddie Miksis singled home Don Hoak. Despite the defeat, their ninth in the last 13 games, the Giants retained first place by three percentage points over the Milwaukee Braves. ed a hard, short right which dumped his opponent into the press section. Undaunted, King scrambled back into the ring before the full count, only to run into another smashing right that dropped him for nine just be fore the bell. Once again, in the ninth, Moore caught his younger op ponent with a jolting right. That one also sent King down for a nine count. But he hung on long enough to lose by a decision. . . STUBBORN SOIL?

Phone SP 3-6297 National League Pennant To Eight Teams Fighting San Francisco (UPI) The National league pennant race is such a wide open af fair that all eight teams are in contention for the flag, a jubilant Birdie Tebbets of the Cincinnati Redlegs proclaim ed Monday. "We're up in third place, now, said Birdie after watch ing his team take three out of four from the league lead ing San Francisco Giants. "We've won seven of our last nine games. Our boys are playing well. "We have the best second base combination in the en tire league in Roy McMillan at short and Johnny Temple at second. We are getting good pitching, fine fielding and timely hitting. "Our hitting didn't click at first, but now we seem to be getting the safe blows when they count. We. have a fine first base combination. We can use Steve Bilko against left-handers, George Crowe against right-handers. And they both hit well this way." Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International Tulsa, Okla. (UPI) Dr. Cary Middlecoff was praying for rain today. When they start the coveted U.S. Open golf championship at Southern Hills country club on Thursday the slender, nervous-mannered dentist will be one of the top favorites. But even though he is rested and refreshed, the two-time win ner isn't looking forward to four rounds in promised near-100-degree heat. ' "I'd like to see some rain or at least hope it stays windy," he said as he arrived to tune up for the big one. "I'm not good in the heat and without offering any alibi, that's what beat me 'last year." The 6-2 Middlecoff gave it a game effort when they went at it over the Inverneus course at Toledo last year. He stroked home a curling 10 foot birdie putt on the 72nd and final hole which tied Dick Mayer, then virtually an unknown, for the champion ship. But in the playoff the next day, Middlecoff was mur dered as he posted a 79 against Mayer's 72. "I was 15 pounds - under weight at the time," he grins now. "I was like a horse which run a mile and a quar ter and then drops dead. I didn't have the gas for that playoff 18 holes." But the 37-year-old Middle coff, in as fine a physical con dition as he ever has been, has high hopes if the heat doesn't wear him out again in those two final rounds on sus penseful Saturday. "I played in only four tour naments all winter from the time of the Open until the Masters," he says. "I devoted most of my time to my new job at the Diplomat club in Hollywood, Fla. and I have worked hard on my game in the last couple of months to get ready for this one. I'm driving better than ever and everything seems to be fitting together nicely." Buck White, the ' veteran Mississippi pro who is one of Cary's aides in Florida, pro fesses awe at the improve ment in Middlecoff's game. "He's hitting the ball a ton, a long ton," Buck says vehe mently in the jargon of the pros, which, translated, means that Middlecoff is hitting the ball far, straight and hand some. "He'll outdrive Snead most of the time." Which, among the pros, is the supreme accolade. But Middlecoff isn't wor ried about' his game. He re members the way he' folded physically in the torrid heat at Inverness last year and his chief concern is his stamina. That's why he's praying for Eau Claire Shuts Out Winnipeg By United Press International Eau Claire shut out Winni peg, 5-0, and Duluth-Superior beat Grand Forks, 8-3, in the only two games played in the Northern league "on Monday night. The only other scheduled game, Fargo at Aberdeen, was rained out.

He clouted the ball into the left field pavil ion . off lefty Johnny Anton elli on a 3-0 pitch. Bob Purkey pitched the shutout against the Giants. "He's a fine hurler," said Tebbetts. "He has good con trol and knows what he is doing. He won three from the Giants last year and went 23 innings without allowing them a run. And he starts off with nine more scoreless in nings this year. ' "But we'll need all that kind of pitching we can get and we'll need a lot of good hitting. Every team in this league has a chance to win the pennant and that in cludes Los Angeles.
