By JOHN GRIFFIN
t Uniled Press International
I Look out hef warned rook
ie manager Bill Norman of
the Detroit Tigers the Yan
kees will getcha if you don't
watch out. -
But Gorman, a crusty gent
who doesn't scare easily, de
fiantly led his tattered team
into Yankee Stadium for
four-game series and now he
has the rest of the American
league wondering how he does
jt because the Tigers swept
all four games, including 0
and 3-0 shutouts on Sunday.
5 That's merely the first time
'that the Yankees were shut
jbut twice in one day in 11
fyears since the A's did it on
Memorial Day, 1947. 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.

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. -

had top guns in a field of 154.

Harry Abernathy, Welches,
driving in five runs with a

Klippstein saved the nightcap
with two-hit pitching over the

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

one by winning pitcher Ver

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.

-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

Miss Suggs, a 32-year-old
links veteran from Sea Island,
Ga., became the first woman

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.

ers persisted with a threat by
loading the bags on an error
and two bases on balls. 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.

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
