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.

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.

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."

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.

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.
