MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford', Of., Mondiy, Sepfmbor 2i, 195t H P Fvi nL Si Sti th A vi n; I I -: ,11 iiraves Ofli Hank Aaron Saluted for 4-Base Rap By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Oh Henry! That's the password in topsy-turvy Milwaukee today where they're saluting Henry (Hank) Aaron, the man who brought the Braves their second straight National league pennant. limch national League Flag Aaron is taking all the adulation somewhat matter-of-factly because supplying pennant-clinching blows isn't exactly a novelty with him. He clinched the 1957 cham pionship for the Braves with an 11th inning homer against the Cardinals last Sept. 23 and wrapped up the 1958 pen nant for Milwaukee Sunday when he drove in four runs in a champagne-popping 6-5 victory over the Redlegs. The 24-year-old slugger hit a two-run double in a four run fifth inning then clouted Zombie Takes Top Drag Racing Honors Tills of the United "Medford Crusade and the Ashland-Tal-ent Youth fund will be sev eral hundred dollars richer this year because of the rec ord turnout of contestants and spectators at the second annual All Charity drag races held yesterday at the Camp White strip. Sponsored by the Southern Oregon Timing association, this was the last racing slate scheduled for this year. Ninety contestants from Oregon and California were on hand help ing write the climax to the finest year of drag racing held in this area. Records fell in three classes and were threatened in many others. For the second time of the summer the sleek Buick-pow-ered Zombie, defeated all comers and walked away with top honors of the day. Driver Charles (Bud) Hewitt Hard Work For Oregon Eugene -flJP&- Oregon Coach Len Casanova had both praise and a complaint for his Web foots after they lambasted Idaho 27-0 in the season's foot ball opener here Saturday. He said the team was not in good shape physicially and that "we have a lot of work ahead of us if we are going to be ready for Oklahoma a week from next Saturday." Casanova said he thought spohomore quaterback Dave Grosz did a good job. "He's not as good a passer as Jack Crabtree yet, but give him some time and he'll come along nicely." The Oregon mentor expressed satisfaction with the overall work' of the other two quarterbacks, Paul Grover and Sandy Fraser, Victory Gamble Fails for SF San Francisco-(UPD-The un paid quarterbacks were trying to decide today whether' or not the San Francisco Forty Niners would have gambled for a victory Sunday if their exhibition game with the Philadelphia Eagles had been for keeps. The only thing for sure was that the Eagles won 31-18 when the Forty Niners shun ned a 15-yard field goal on the last play of the game to try for an "Allez-Oop" touch down pass from Y. A. Tittle to R. C. Owens. Losing mentor Frankie Al bert growled: "What good is a tie in a pre-season game?" The go-for-broke decision came after the Eagles racked up a stunning 24 points in the fourth quarter, taking the lead for the first time on a 19-yard field goal by Bobby Walson with less than a minute to play.

Drag Strip Racer Dies Irwindale, Calif. -fiJPD-Drag strip racer Paul Dome, 22-year-old sheet metal worker, was fatally injured Sunday when his $3,000 super-charged hot rod tore itself apart while speeding at more than 150 miles an hour. The accident, second fatal crash in eight days at the San Gabriel Valley drag strip, was witnessed by hundreds. John Moute, 14, was killed on the course Sept. 14. Spectators said Dome was on his way to a possible rec ord when his auto skidded, overturned and broke into five pieces. He died a few minutes after he was taken to Lark Ellen hospital. Randall Rites On Wednesday Portland - (UPD - Requiem mass for Buzz Randall, 1958 Oregon State football co-captain, will be offered here in St. Mary's church Wednes day. The grid star died of leu kemia Saturday. Pallbearers will be team mates Ted Bates, Sonny San chez, Ed Kaohelaulii, Dennis Brundage, Nub Beamer and Jim Brackins, who is Beaver co-captain. THIRD GAME SET Toronto -(UPD - Manager Dixie Walker of the Toronto Maple Leafs will use veteran righthander Ed Blake tonight to halt the Montreal Royals' bid for a clean sweep in the International League Gover nor's cup final playoffs. Roy als manager Clay Bryant was expected to go with right hander Bob Darnell. Rain forced postponement of the third game of th best-of-seven series, scheduled to have been played here Sunday. The Royals took the first two games in Montreal, his 30th homer with one on in the seventh. His homer proved the de cisive wallop when the Red- legs hammered out southpaw Warren Spahn with a five-run burst in the bottom of the seventh. Fastballer Don Mo Mahon preserved Spahn's 21st win of the year when he blanked Cincinnati in the last two innings. The second-place Pirates officially were eliminated while sitting in their hotel rooms inasmuch as their scheduled double-header with the Phillies was postponed be cause of rain. Willie Mays boosted his league-leading average to .342 with a single and a double in three official trips as the Giants beat the Cardinals, 7-4, and Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers picked up his 11th victory with a 2-1 decision over the Cubs. Baltimore . defeated the American league champion Yankees for the third straight time, 3-2; Boston blanked Washington, 2-0; Chicago nipped Kansas City, 2-1, and Cleveland beat Detroit, 3-1. Ted's Bat Hits Lady In Stands Boston-flJPD-A possible fine or even suspension was await ed from American league headquarters today following a temper tantrum by Ted Wil liams that could have had a tragic aftermath. The Boston Red Sox slug ger, with one vicious fling of his bat after striking out in Sunday's game with the Wash ington Senators, nearly brought his controversial and starry career to an abrupt end. The bat, hurled with all his might in flaring disgust, sail ed 75 feet into the stands and hit an elderly woman fan sit ting in a box seat just to the right of the Red Sox dugout. The woman, Mrs. Gladys Heffernan, 69, and, coinciden tally, Red Sox general man ager Joe Cronin's housekeep er, luckily received a glancing blow on the temple and suf fered only a bruise. Umpire Files Report Plate umpire Bill Summers said after the game that he was filing a full, written, re port on the incident to Ameri-J can League President Will Harridge, as is customary after any untoward, action in a game. Williams was practically in consolable after the game. "I just almost died when I realized what had happened," he said in the Red Sox dress ing room. "I nearly got sick when I went back out to the outfield. I was mad at myself because I wanted a base hit. But I didn't mean to throw the bat that way. "I started to flip it along the ground but the sticky stuff (resin) on my hand stuck to it and it left my hands on the fly instead." MEDFORDvlWrRIBimE SIPCDIffiTrS Defensive Line Brightest Spot In LA Ram Picture (This is another dispatch on the 1958 prospects of National Football league teams.) By JOE ST. AMANT Los Angeles (UPD - If Billy Wade comes through at Quar terback the Los Angeles Rams may have quite a football team this season but it's a big "if.." Wade, accumulatine the minute fragments of wood on the seat of his trousers for the past five years as Norm Van Brocklin's understudy, is a good runner and faker but has his troubles as a uasser. The former Vanderbilt star has a tendency to fade away from his blockers when he's trying to spot a receiver and often gets tossed for huge losses. If Billy does n't come through, the Ram headman will have to depend on Frank Ryan, the student nuclear physicist from Rice Institute. Ed Oldfield Winner in Hudson Tiff Tacoma -(UPD -The Drofes- sionals kept possession of the Hudson Cup away from the amateurs Sunday bv winnina seven out of 10 36-hole singles golf matches at the Tacoma Country and Golf Club.

Kid Bassey Halts Pep Boston -(UPD- Former two- time world featherweight champion Willie Pep today debated whether to quit the ring following his clear-cut TKO defeat at the hands of reigning king Hogan (Kid) Bassey. Bassey flattened Pep in the ninth round of their scheduled 10-round non-title bout at Bos ton Garden Saturday night. It was officially a technical knockout but Pep was help less as he struggled to his feet at the count of 10 after previously taking an eight count in the same round. Sportswriters asked Pep af ter the bout whether he'd fight again. He first answered "yes," but then added "I'm going to give it some thought." Other Worries Aside from the quarterback spot, Gillman has other wor ries. He's got an injury list longer than his arm already. Offensive end Leon Clarke has a bad knee. Left halfback Ron Waller has a .shoulder separation. Defense end Paul Miller is out for the season with a slipped disc. Then there are gaps left by the retirement of two pass catching ends, Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hirsch and the speedy Bob Boyd. The Rams traded Tank Younger, their veteran fullback, to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jon Arnett, the former Southern California flash, had been counted on as an offen sive end but he was pulled back to the ball-carrying de partment when Waller was hurt. Morris May Fill Del Shofner, the other first string offensive end, is a rookie at the spot. He played in the secondary last year and his defensive spot must be filled, possibly by Jack Mor ris, a rookie from Oregon. Gillman still has a tall, tal ented pass catcher in 6-7 La mar Lundy, who plays slot back. He also has fleet ball-carriers in Tom Wilson and Joe Marconi, a veteran fullback, but there's hardly anyone of note to back them up. Brightest spot in the Ram picture is the defensive front line which includes Les Richt er and Dick Daugherty as linebackers and rookies such as Lou Michaels of Kentucky and John Baker, a 280-pound-er from North Carolina col lege. . If the defensive line meas ures up to its capabilities, it may give Gillman's offense a chance to come through. WHO WAS GREATEST spoers promoter ?
