Newspaper Page Text6 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, August 26, 1958 Warren Spahn Holds Giants To Five Hits, Takes 241st San Francisco -LTD- The San Francisco Giants had trouble with Milwaukee's Warren Spahn Monday night and this afternoon they take on his roommate - a guy named Lew Burdette. Burdette, the Yankee-killer of the 1557 World Series, has an 8-2 record since the All Star game and has finished the last five games he started, giving up a total of nine runs. Today it will be the task of Ruben Gomez to keep the voluble righthander from be coming a Giant-killer. Spahn was just that Mon day night as he limited the San Franciscans to five hits, won 6-1, and recorded his MEDFORDv&WTRIBUNE Giants Trounced G-2L By Milwaukee United Press International Strep throat and all, War ren Spahn of Milwaukee just about put the final chill on San Francisco's pennant fever. Spahn was confined to his hotel room Sunday with an inflamed throat and there was some question whether he would be able to pitch against the Giants Monday night. The 37-year-old southpaw promptly eliminated all ques tion when he went out and held the Giants to five hits in a 6-1 victory that stretched Milwaukee's first-place mar gin to eight games over San Francisco. It was Spahn's 17th victory of the season and the Braves made his job easy by knock ing out Mike McCormick with a five-run burst in the second inning. Six hits, an er ror and a hit batsman did tne damage. Pirates Also Los Los Angeles defeated Cin cinnati 4-2, and St. Louis beat third-place Pittsburgh, 7-1, in the other National league games scheduled. Baltimore topped Chicago, 6-5, and Washington nipped Cleveland, 5-4, in the two American league games played. The Dodgers' victory over the Redlegs was essentially a two-man job by southpaw Johnny Podres and outfielder Carl Furillo. Podres yielded a two-run homer to Pete Whisenant in the first inning but blanked Cincinnati there after to gain his 12th victory, 11 of 'which have been regis tered at the Los Angeles coli seum. Furillo rapped out three of the Dodgers' nine hits off loser Harvey Haddix and drove in two runs. . Hits Three-Run Homer W a 1 1 y Moon's three-run homer off loser Ronnie Kline was the blow that assured the Cards their triumph over the Pirates. Larry Jackson held the Pirates to eight hits in boosting his season mark to 11-10. The Orioles tightened their hold on fourth place in the American league with their victory over the White Sox. Pinch hitter Al Pilarcik drove in the winning run with a sixth-inning single that scor ed Brooks Robinson from sec ond base. Ray Narleski's eighth - in ning wild pitch with the bases loaded enabled Clint Court ney to score the run that Billings Takes 3-1 Legion Win Billings, Mont.-IUPD-Billings defeated Centralia, Wash., 3-1 in extra inning play Monday night before 3,100 cheering fans to earn its way into the Class D American Legion sec tional baseball playoffs at Hastings, Neb., Sept. 1-4. It was centerfielder Ray Haroldson who broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 11th inning with a double to cen ter field that scored second baseman Russ Powers. Powers had reached second f on a sacrifice bunt. ELLIOTT WINS RACE Stockholm, Sweden - (UPD -Herb Elliott, the world's fast est miler .with a clocking of 3:54.5, won a 1,500-meter race in 3 minutes, 41.7 seconds Monday on a muddy track at the Stockholm suburb of Bromma. His time was equiv alent to a 3:59 mile. 241st major league victory but the first one he ever notched on the Pacific Coast. The crafty southpaw, weak ened by a strep throat over the weekend, showed no sign of being ill. He was in trouble only twice and had it easy after the Braves got him a five-run cushion in the top of the second inning on six hits, a hit batsman and a cost ly San Francisco error. Good Pitches Both Mike McCormick, who was tagged with the loss, and his manager. Bill Rigney, agreed that the Braves were hitting "good pitches" during the uprising. "They should have had one snapped Washington's five- game losing streak. Rocky Colavito drove in all four Cleveland runs with his 31st homer and a double.

He referred to an outfield bobble by Leon Wag ner and a close play at the plate that was ruled as a fielder's choice in the big second. The defeat dropped the Giants eight games behind the pace setters and they main tained their buldge of one percentage point over the third place Pittsburgh Pirates. Willie Mays drove in the only San Francisco run with an infield single in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. First Appearance Giant outfielder Jackie Brandt, making his first ap pearance after an Army stint, came close, to changing the complexion of the game earli er in the frame. Brandt hit for pitcher Gordon Jones with two on and none out and ripped a pitch deep to right center that Felix Man tilla brought down after a great run. Later Brandt, who stayed in the game, walked and singled. "How about that Brandt?" muttered Spahn after the game. "He comes out of the Army and really slugs his first pitch." The 21,433 fans got their first look at Frank Torre this series when h.e took over at first base for Joe Adcock in the fifth. Adcock, a big, talkative performer, was reduced to something less than a whisper by a sore throat and laryn gitis that struck during the game. The Giants could not be blamed for hoping the malady would sweep quickly through the entire Milwaukee team.

Enclose self-addressed, stamped envelope. , A McClvr Newspaper fynrficpt Ptalvr 1958 Interior Line Could Be Oregon's Finest University of Oregon, Eu gene Oregon's interior line could easily be the finest in the school's history this fall. Certainly, it is the most prom ising line in recent years and four veterans at guard, Bob Grottkau, Joe Schaffeld, Will Reeve and Bob Heard, make this position one of the strong holds of the forward wall. Grottkau, one the basis of last year's sterling work, is the key performer on the right side of the line with end Ron Stover and tackle Jim Linden. On the left side, Schaffeld and Reeve should compete in fall drills for the starting berth vacated by all coast Harry Mondale. No Surprise It came as no surprise that Grottkau would handle the guard spot with easev even though he had played full back in high school, end as an Oregon freshman, and tackle with the varsity as a soph. His development at the position was one. key to the success of the first team line last season. Schaffeld played behind Mondale last year and his great work in the Rose Bowl, after Mondale was in jured early in the opening quarter, has stamped him as an outstanding contender for the other starting berth. Reeve, a big two-year vet eran, moved to guard last fall after a sophmore season at fullback and came along rap idly, including a fine spring practice. Heard will probably back up Grottkau on the right side after seeing considerable action at left guard last year. Coach Len Cacanova will also get help from letterman John Willener, a tackle last year, while senior LeRoy Todd and junior Jack Stone will compete with soph Dave Urell for the other top spot.

Facing Newcombe will be Sandy Koufax 9-7, seeking to victory. Newcombe is only 3-11 for the season and has lost twice to the Dodgers since being traded to Cincin nati. Johnny Podres, Monday night won his 12th victory of the season and 11th in the Coliseum in defeating the Redlegs 4-2. Although he was in trouble repeatedly as he gave up eight hits including a homer to Pete Whisenant in the first for all the Red leg's runs, Podres managed to work himself out of his difficulties each time. Serious Trouble His most serious trouble came in the fifth when he loaded the bases with one away but he settled down to retire the next two batters. "I thought my curve was working especially well," said Podres after the game. "It was the best stuff I had on the ball all season, even though I was hit some." Striking out six men, Pod res passed the 500 mark in strike outs in his major league career. But he had Carl Furillo and Gino Cimoli to thank for helping him achieve the vic tory in which he equalled his best mark in the majors, 12 wins. Furillo Closes Fast Furillo, closing like Silky Sullivan in the stretch end of the season, hit safely three times in four at bat. But he mourned after the game that he might have gone four for four had he not gotten greedy and tried for the fence on his Indian Shift Frowned on By Veeck Chicago -(UPD- Baseball pro motor Bill Veeck said today the Washington Senators and Cleveland Indians should "give the fans something to see" instead of talking of moving to Minneapolis or any where else. Veeck called a news confer ence here late Monday to air his views on reports one or both of the, American league teams would show up at a new city when next season opens. He said the Cleveland fans have been too good to the In dians for them to leave. He also said that he thought "the national game of baseball should be represented in the nation's capital."
