They were - blanked only "twice all Jast season. . The Yankees still lead the league by a comfortable seven ,games, but it's plain that they would be out of sight altogeth er if it weren't for the Tigers, v Pitcher Frank Lary, who finds the mighty Yankees us ually just a bunch of pin striped pushovers, tied up the Jeague leaders on just four hits in the opening game. Jim Bunning followed right up in jhe nightcap with a five-hit-jer, fanning eight batters. Chief victims of the double humiliation were the ace Yan kee righthanders, Don Larsen and Bob Turley. Sox Take Two 1 But this wa't the only iioublehutout performance in the majors Sunday. It was matched at Baltimore where Jim Wilson of the Chicago :White Sox beat the Orioles in ;a two-hitter 3-0 and Dick Don iovan followed with a 4-0 sev-en-iirtter. r -In other Sunday games: 'Cleveland swept two from nr verniers earner Orlich High Gun Dan Orlich, Reno, Nev., one of the nation's standout shoot ers, actually was high gun in all-around with 387 out of a "possible 40. He was not eli gible for Oregon honors but claimed a guest trophy. An other Reno shooter, Dan Ohn stead was next with 385. Frank Simpson's state win ning score was 383. Milligan had 381 and Rolf Simpson, Collins, Martin Clogston, Med ford, and Ken Jones, Condon, 380 each. George Ross, Fon tana, Calif., fired 381.- All around title was based on scores in Friday doubles, Sat urday and Sunday singles, and Sunday handicap. High f over-all was on all targets Friday through Sunday. In the singles, first half shot Saturday-and second half Sunday, Paul Maylor, Oak Harbor, Wash., amateur, and Wililam McCrady, Carmichael Calif., pro, had 199s along wh Frank Simpson and May lor was awarded a guest trophy. Mrs. Blake Wins Ladies' prize went to Mrs. Corrine Blake, Portland. She and Mrs. Donna Wooley, Drain, each smashed 182 pig eons and Mrs. Blake won the shoot-off 24 to 22. Frank Windolph, Portland, edged George Jantzer, Med titlist; Orley Milligan, doubles champion, and Jim Hunter Jr., victor in the open Jim Morris Memorial handicap. Hunter, Reno, Nev., just 11 years old, is believed to be the first youth of his age to bust 100 straight in handicap in Oregon and some think the distinction covers both the west and the na tion. The Simpsons are from Cornelius, Mrs. lake from Portland and Milligan from Roseburg. Washington, 5-3, 4-2; Kansas City drubbed Boston twice 17 6, 9-4; Cincinnati swept the Chicago Cubs 7-0, 4-2; Mil waukee nipped St. Louis, 4-2; San Francisco downed Phila delphia, 3-1; and Pittsburgh crushed Los Angeles, 12-1. Both Baltimore hits yielded by Wilson were singles and he issued no walks. Since poth runners were cut down on the baaepaths, the much-travelled Wilson faced only the mini mum 27 batters. A solo homer by Jim Landis and a two-run blast by Jim Rivera gave him all the runs he needed. Sher man Lollar- supplied Dono van's chief support in the nightcap by driving in three ruj with a bases-loaded double. Reliever Hoyt Wilhelm sav ed both wins for the Indians, appearing in the ninth inning of the opener and the seventh inning of the nightcap. Mick ey Vernon, who had two oth er hits, produced the winning margin in the first game with a two-run homer. Homers by Preston Ward and Rocky Col avito led the Cleveland at tack in the nightcap. A's Get 29 Hits The A's, beaten by Boston six straight times, exploded with 29 hits in sweeping their first doubleheader of the year as Bob Cerv set the pace with a homer, his 17th, and three triples. Chico Carrasquel had five hits in the opener and two more in the nightcap. Ralph Terry won the opening game and Duke Maas, later traded to the Yankees, took the second. - Harvey Haddix pitched . a seven-hitter to give the Red legs their opening game shut out win at Chicago as Pete Whisenant led his support by nn" Trapshoot Here ford, 25 to 24 in the 65 to 70 years of age veterans' class after each recorded 194s.

Run- off counts were Smith 25 and Shirtcliffe and Bubar each 23 Junior single's champion, based on Sunday firing, was Ken Jones, Condon, with a 9 Dean Culbertson, Medford, followed with 95. Louis Hunt, Medford, was repeat champ in sub-junior with 99. Runner-up was Phillip Yasui, Hood River with 90. Don W i e m e r, Portland, clipped 194 for high Oregon pro score. There were 139 shooters at 16 yards yesterday. Breaks 99 Birds Woodside's score for the Oregon title in the handicap was 99. An out-of-stater, E. J Jylha, Tieton, Wash., dupli; cated that figure. The two had top guns in a field of 154. Carl Bennett, Philomath, was state - runner-up in the handicap but had to survive a shoot-off which put Laur ence Jones Sr., Condon in third place. The two tied with 98s. Bennett's shoot-off mar gin was 25 to 23. Harry Abernathy, Welches, driving in five runs with a homer and a double. Johnny Klippstein saved the nightcap with two-hit pitching over the last four innings. The Braves, trailing 2-0 after Joe Cunningham's two run homer for the Cards, scor ed a single run in the eighth inning and then won with three in the ninth, the last two coming on a homer by .169 hitter Harry Hanebrink. Al Worthington, making his first start in nearly two months, pitched a complete eight-hitter for the Giants, yielding just one unearned run. In his support, Jim Dav enport twice singled to drive in Felipe Alou and Alou drove in the other run with a double. The Pirates scored five runs in the second inning and six in the fifth in routing the Dodgers. They socked three homers off Don Newcombe in the second inning, including Frank Thomas' 20th, and also one by winning pitcher Ver non Law.

Gil Hodges On Bench Los Angeles (UPI) Mana ger Walt Alston, seeking some solution for the Dodgers' lack of hitting in the clutches, to day announced he was bench ing veteran'first baseman Gil Hodges temporarly in the hope the rest will restore his batting power. The proposed change was disclosed bv Alston as the Dodgers left for Philadelphia and an eastern road swing that lasts until July 3. "I haven't lost confidence in Hodges," Alston stressed, but even he knows he s not hitting and I thought a little rest mieht helD him regain the hitting that has helped the Dodgers for so many years. While Hodges is resting, his place will probably be taken by Steve Bilko, just acquired from Cincinnati. Suggs Cops Golf Toga Marblehead, Mass. (UPI) -Louise Suggs called on the prowess which gave her two golfdom crowns 11 years ago to surge from behind and cap ture the second of her Tri angle Round Robin tourna ments.

SP 2-4107 Lind Florists Trip Rogue Dairy Maids Memorial Stadium, Camp White Portland's classy Erv Lind Florists, playing a steady ball game, scored single un earned markers in three sep erate innings here last night to tip the Rogue Valley Dairy Maids 3 to 0 in a girls' soft ball game. The Florists managed just three hits off the offerings of Maid tosser Pat Barron but turned in some stylish fielding and throwing to hold down the southern Oregon team. Rogue Valley equalled the strong metropolitan aggrega tion in total hitting and turn ed in a number of sparkling plays of its own to the approv al and delight of the home crowd, but was the victim of a number of miscues. It was the first fracas of the season for the Maids against another women's team and they met probably the top club in the Northwest in making that de but. Price Scores First run for the visitors came in the third inning when Delores Prce singled, advan ced to second and third on successive passed balls and scooted home on an error. That was the only score until the sixth frame when Fran McConnell made it to first base after a dropped third strike and went all the way to third on an overthrow. Pearl Pinion's groundout en abled McConnell to tally. In the seventh inning Dot Dobie hit safely and continued to second on an outfield mis play. She swiped third and scampered across the plate on a squeeze bunt by Price. In the third inning catcher Jean Main and shortstop Ber nice Bigham of the Maids teamed to catch Florist Hap Piper off third base for the Bonus Baby Hits Top Pay San Francisco (UPI) Rich Berry, the most sought after high school baseball player in the west, Saturday signed a New York Yankee contract for a bonus "between $50,000 and $60,000." Berry, who graduated from Berkeley high school Friday night, is a 6 foot 4 inch right handed first baseman. He is 17-year-old and weighs 190 pounds. He was signed by Scout Tony Robello and will be sent to the Modesto club of the Class C California league. BEAVERS TRADE Portland (UPI) Second baseman Alex Cosmidis of Rochester of the Internation al league was acquired by the Portland Beavers in a straight trade for second baseman Wally Lammers. Cosmidis hit .277 for Dallas in the Texas league last year, driving in 59 runs. He also participated in 114 double plays. V .. .

Pinion fouled out before another run could come in. Hanson Two Hits Shirley Hanson smacked two of the Maid hits. On her second she went on to second base on a Florist outfield muff but that was the only time a Rogue Valley player got that far in the game. Miss Hanson got on base on her other hit in the second panel and the other Maid to get to first sack was Diane Wall on a safety in the third inning. Doris Hickson's flyout to end the game was the only ball other than on Miss Han son's two singles to be hit out of infield range by the Dairy Maids. Mrs. Wall's sock was a rap too steamy for Florist third baseman Dobie to get. Some of the pre-game ad vertised names of the Florists were not in the line-up but the Portlanders had some cap able talent .just the same. Pitcher Marion Kozak whiffed four batters and did not walk a one. Miss Barron of the Maids recorded two strikeuost and issued four bases on balls. In their next action against women foes the Maids play at Chico, Calif., Saturday, f June 21, and at Dunsmuir, Calif., on Sunday.

Ann Haydon achieved the clincher for England when she defeated Mimi Arnold of Redwood City, Calif., 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 before an overjoyed crowd of 5,000 which watched the matches on the famed center court at Wimbledon. An anti-climatic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 doubles victory by Miss Gib son and Janet Hopps of Seat tle, Wash., over Ann Shilcock and Pat Ward in the finale of the 1958 series simply set the final margin of Britain's vic tory at 4 matches to 3.

Dragsters Capture Main Race Prizes; Cvcle Reaches Final Enthusiastic drag racers from throughout Oregon and Northern California pitted their cars and their driving skill against local contestants in Southern Oregon Timing association's competition yes terday at the Camp White strip and, in all but a few cases, lost to the local entries. Rogue Valley participants took home fourteen of the nineteen trophies given to those who reached the win ners circle. This was certainly not the case two weeks ago when more than half of the hardware was awarded to con testants representing cities outside the Rogue River val ley. Medford's Noel Black with his dragster once again edged out Jack White's Triumph mo torcycle for Top elimination honors, although not by the substantial margin he had hoped for. Noel probably would not have reached the winner's circle had it? not been for his very efficient pit crew. Their speedy work in helping him change a clutch in record time allowed Noel to run against Jack White, who had eliminated every other vehicle. For the second consecutive time the Roberts-Wiltze-Miok-le dragster was plagued with troubles and was not able to run in the eliminations, al though it did have top time of the day by posting a speed of 116.58 miles per hour. All three of the dragsters present showed that they have , what it takes to really get down the strip in a hurry once the owners work out all the bugs. - Had a trophy been given for the most beautiful .entry of the day Monty Wray of Ashland would certainly have won with his immaculate "A" street roadster. Monty's beau ty had more than just good looks because he went on to win his class by edging out Gary Shaffer of Medford and setting a new class record of 96.35 miles per hour. The old RVCC Juniors In OGA Tourney Stewart Schroeder, top man for Medford high in the recent state prep tourney and winner of the local Junior Chamber of Commerce junior tourney, led a delegation of nine from Rogue Valley Country club today in quali fying for the Oregon Golf as sociation junior meet at Co-lumbia-Edgewater and River side courses in Portland. Others are Tony Monroe, John Hamlin, Steve Cum mins, Mike Monroe, Richard Olson, Larry Berg, Doug Ol son and Pam Stacey. Treasure Sullivan is entered from Ash land. 2 90 Pt.
