start of the year started Mon
day in the Dodgers' final tilt
of the season with Milwaukee,
won by the Braves, 8-3.
They were Don Miles, Ron
Fairly, Bob Lillis, Don Deme
ter and Stan Williams.
Just before me Dodgers
started their final swing of
the year through the East,
club officials announced they
were calling up a set of new
comers to give them a chance
for major league action.
Fairly, Lillis and Demeter
have attracted attention by
their play, but efforts of all
as pennant threats. Milwau
kee swept the four game ser-ies-and
San Francisco never
recovered.
Since then, the Braves have
gone on to virtually cinch
their second straight pennant,
while the Giants,-who also
gave way to Pittsburgh-are
fighting for third place.
The Giants trail the Braves
by IIV2 games and Pitts
burgh by 5. They hold a 3'2
game edge on fourth-place
Cincinnati and lead St. Louis
by 412.
There'll be a few individ
ual marks at stake tonight,
however.
Johnny Antonelli will go
to the mound for San Fran
cisco, seeking his 16th win of
the year and 100th National
league victory. Although the
Braves hold a 15-6 game ad
vantage over the Giants, An
tonelli has broken even with
two wins and two losses. He
was shut out in both losses.
The Braves will send Yankee-killer
Lew Burdette up
against Manager Bill Rig
ney's southpaw.
The game also marks the
last clash between San Fran
cisco's Willie Mays and Mil
waukee's Hank Aaron, who
are still in the fight for the
batting championship.
Mays has a slight edge, .335
to .333, but they'll both have
to keep busy to catch Richie
Ashburn of the Phils who is
wacking .340.
The Giants got a rest Mon
day after Sunday's split with
the Cincinnati Redlegs. The
Braves trimmed the Los An
geles Dodgers in a game Mon
day, 8-3.
CUBS GET FIVE PLAYERS
Philadelphia (UPD Five
players from the pennant
winning Fort Worth Cats of
the Texas league will join
the Chicago Cubs here today.
The National league team has
purchased the contracts of
outfielder Chick King and
first baseman Bill Gabler and
has exercised its options on
Bob Will, Frank Ernaga and
Jerry Kindall.

the Dodgers Monday were of
little help against the World
Champion Braves.
Milwaukee edged to within
four games of their second
National league pennant. Eith
er victories by the Braves or
losses by second-place Pitts
burgh which add up to four
is the margin.
The Dodgers appeared to
be on their way to still an
other victory over the Braves
Monday when Milwaukee ral
lied for five runs in the seventh-
The Dodgers ended the
season with Milwaukee with
a 14-8 edge.
Los Angeles shot in front
with a 3-0 lead at the end of
three innings and was still
ahead 3-2 going into the bot
ton of the seventh. Then, Don
Zimmer and Bob Lillis collid
ed and dropped an easy pop
fly.
The Braves went on to
score five runs and add an
other in the eighth. Bob Rush
(9-6) who relieved Carl Willey
was the winner. Fred Kipp
(6-6) was the loser.

COPPLE MAKES SELF- NOTICED Dick Copple, above, a
big sophomore with varied talents, is making himself noticed
in line workouts at Pullman, Wash., as Washington State
college preps for its football opener at home on Saturday,
Sept. 20, against Stanford university. Copple, an ex-Medford
high star, is one of the top prospects among sophomore line
men and is playing at a tackle spot. Coach Jim Sutherland
figures that Copple may be used sparingly in games this fall
because of the depth of experienced men ahead of him, but
the Cougar mentor still has definite plans for the ex-Tornado
player. Sutherland has had Copple and sophomore halfback
Lee Schroeder doing a lot of field goal work in practices.
Both were consistent last week from around the 30-yard line.
The Medford athlete won his numeral as a WSC freshman
grid regular- last fall and then was a member of the fine
Coubabe basketball squad.
Charity Benefit Race Set

mougn some 01 tne top ma
chines seen in action at the

SOTA has posted a $25
savings bond on the new strip

won the $200 bond that had
been building on that record.
SOTA places another $25
bond on the strip record each
time that it is not bettered.
Jack White owner of
White's Cycle shop in Med
ford has posted a $25 bond
on his "B" cycle record of
100.55 mph established on the
Camp White strip. White set
the record in Sept. 1957 at
the first annual Northwest
Gas championship meet. Since
that date he has won his class
at every meet in which he
participated. By posting this

United Press International
Robin Roberts and Richie
Ashburn, two of the original
Whiz Kids who helped Eddie
Sawyer lead the Philadelphia
Phillies to a pennant in 1950,
are making gallant efforts to
prevent a last-place finish for
the returned pilot this year.
And, in the process, Rob
erts could well wind up with
"comeback of the year"
award and Ashburn with a
National league batting title.
The Phillies, who haven't
finished in the cellar since
1945, climbed to within two
games of the seventh-place
Chicago Cubs when they beat
the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-2,
Monday night. The Milwau
kee Braves trimmed their
magic pennant clinching num
ber to four with an 8-3 vic
tory over the Los Angeles
Dodgers in the only other day
or night game in either
league.
Roberts, who seemed over
the hill after 19-18 and 10-22
won-lost records the past two
years, pitched a seven-hitter
to raise his current mark to
16-13. It was his 19th com
plete game of the season and
his five strikeouts raised his
total to 123 for 252 innings.
Set Club Record
Ashburn, who set a club
record by playing in his
1,631st game, raised his
league - leading average to
.343 when he smashed a triple
and a single. He now holds
a five-point lead over St.
Louis' Stan Musial, idle again
Monday night.
Doubles by Harry Anderson
and Jim Hegan plus a sacri
fice fly by Ted Kazanski gave
the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the
second inning and they added
single runs at the expense
of Vinegar Bend MizelJ in
the fifth and sixth. '
An eight-inning error by
Don Zimmer paved the way
for the Braves to score five
runs and beat the Dodgers for
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Ore.,
only the eighth time in 22
games. Zimmer's error fol
lowed a single by Casey Wise
and the Braves then raked
Fred Kipp and Clem Labine
for four more singles and a
walk. Joe Adcock had two
singles and his 19th homer
