DIETRICH Louisville, Ky. - (UPD -The Little Colonel hung up his glove the same way he played it in the major leagues for 16 seasons - like a ballplayer and a gentleman. Retiring as a player and signed as a coach by the Los Angeles Dodgers Thursday, Peewee Reese accepted the end of his playing career cheerfully but with a touch of sadness too. "When you've played so long, you hate the thought of not being in the thick of things, any more," Reese said at his home here, "but maybe it's for the best. I've had a bad back for a couple of years . . . maybe it was time to quit." Peewee hinted his coaching career might not last much longer than his playing days. "I don't expect to be in baseball all my life," he said, "or at least I hope not. I'll try this coaching deal for a year and see what works out. Not that I'm complaining at all, you understand, but coaching isn't the best money in the world, and besides it's FOULED A somber Bobo Olson assists his opponent, Tommy Villa of San Jose, to his corner after Villa went down from a low blow in their middleweight bout at Fresno, Calif. Despite a five-minute rest period ordered by referee John Reno (left), Villa was unable to continue the fight and Qlson was awarded the decision on a TKO. Colavito Captures AL Slugging Title Chicago (UPD Rocky Cola vito of the Cleveland Indians was named tne American league's slugging champion for 1958 today, which means, as the ball players say, he gave the ball the longest ride downtown. Slugging averages are de termined by the number of total bases a player collects compared with his official times at bat. Colavita finished with a slugging percentage of .620 by rapping out 303 total bases in 489 times up. The Cleveland outfielder's batting average was only .303, but he hammered out 41 hom ers, 26 doubles and three triples. His 113 runs batted in was exceeded only by Jackie Jensen of the Red Sox, who led the league with 122. Mantle Ties For Second Mickey Mantle of the Yan kees and Bob Cerv of. the Athletics finished in a second place tie as far as slugging laurels were concerned. Each registered a mark of .592. Ted Williams, the Boston belter who won the 1957 slug ging crown with a .731 figure, wound up fourth this year with .584. He was followed by Roy Sievers of the Senators, .544; Jensen, 535, and Bob Nieman of the Orioles, .522. Mantle drew the most bases Singer Locked Out; Receives Divorce Los Angeles '-'.(UPD - Singer Sharorl Curran, 31, who said her husband locked her out of the house she bought with her own money, has been granted a divorce by Superior Judge Jerold E. Well.- ' Miss Curran, daughter of the late financier Charles K. Curran, and a niece of produ cer Homer Curran, told Judge Well Thursday that her hus b a n d, photographer Nelson Tyler, 25, also didn't want children, stayed out late, and didn't want the responsibility of a home. "He never shared his earn ings with me," she said. "I used by separate earnings to buy the house and then he changed the locks and wouldn't let me in." . - time for me to settle down with my family." No Manager Job To a suggestion that man agerial job might naturally follow, Reese answered em phatically, "No sir, I'm not in terested," and he joked, "gotta take care of the ulcers I picked up in all those close pennant races." Looking back, the Dodger captain mused, "the only thing I feel disappointed about is that I've never hit .300 but once . . . I never could figure out why I didn't hit more." He had a lifetime batting average of .269, 2,170 hits and 885 runs batted in through 16 seasons, seven World Series and eight All Star games. There "is no doubt about the biggest satisfaction he got from baseball. "Beating those Yankees in the 1955 World Series' boy, I was afraid I never would see that day, and you remember they came back and tied it up in the sixth game. I thought 'well, here we go again." on balls, 129, but that total was well under the 146 with which he led the league in 1957. Of those 129 walks, 13 were intentional, and that figure also was tops in the eireuit. Mantle and Jim Lemon of Washington each struck out 120 times to wind up in a tie for that "distinction," while at the other extreme, Nellie Fox of the White Sox fanned only 11 times in 155 games. Three Portland Students Attacked Portland - (UPD - Three stu dents were attacked by, groups of boys here Thursday, police reported. Ted Suttlemier, 17, a stu dent at Washington high, was struck on the jaw and knock ed down by four boys who fled when other students ap peared. A student at Benson suffered a twisted arm when four boys of similar descrip tion tried to force him to give them money, police said. Earlier, Daryl Jordan, 14, also, a Benson student, said he was assaulted by three youths who wrestled him "most of the way across the Burnside bridge" and struck him in the stomach. $ (6) (in (6) (Q)iyj(Q) DICK KNIGHT CO.

Entry fees will go to the tournament pool for cost of trophies and the cocktail party and dinner dance which will be held at the conclusion of the tourney. Teams are Coleman Hard ware store Nail Drivers, Crys tal Meat market Meat Balls, Ashlandd Play Cheesemakers Ashland - Ashland high's basketball squad headed to day for a two-game series at Tillamook and Coach Earl Iba still will be trying to find "the right five" when the Grizzlies try to clobber the Cheesemakers tonight and Saturday. This season the Grizzly squad is a group of players all of about equal ability. It's a mean problem naming a starting five and trying to find a combination wh,ich will produce the best results. Iba has been working his crew yet this week on "basic fundamentals." He said that TABLE ROCK Christmas Program Set By R. E. NEALON Table Rock-Norman Mat teson, newly-elected president of the Table Rock Community club, announces that the an. nual community Christmas tree and program will be held Saturday evening, Dec. 20. The decoration committee is headed by Mrs. Ernest Smith. In charge of the pro gram is Dan Matteson, editor of the Table Rock Telenews, who promises a variety of en tertainment, with some fea tures new to this section, in eluding Christmas music piped in from radio station K-GAL, the voice of Table Rock. Santa Claus is expect ed,' and of course the kids will be expecting the usual treats. Sam Glass, the ex-marine and part-time farmer, has about decided that farming is tougher than being in the ma rines. In the marines you know what you're going to get, but with farming you never know. During Ed Robinson's elk hunt, he let his beard and mustache grow to some length, but after arriving home he shaved off his beard, but thought the decoration on his upper lip looked so im pressive that he left it on. It paid off, as some of the neighbor ladies now think he looks like Clark Gable. According to a pamphlet left in our mail box, rural de livery patrons will be licking their own stamps during the month of December. Postal regulations requiring that pa trons stamp all greeting cards and letters mailed during the month, the stamps can be purchased from the carrier. We also read that if you ex pect to receive large parcels, let the carrier know if they are to be left outside the box, whether ' you will meet the carrier or call for them at the post office. Some may be ex pecting a large package but to make arrangements with the carrier and have a pack age of gum arrive, might be rather embarrassing. Several from here attend ed the L. A.

The Tilla mook series is the last cage contention for the Grizzlies until Southern Oregon con ference play opens in Janu ary. the Ben Peaks family, which they owned, with an acreage of land they farmed. During World War I, Mr. Brennesholtz was Jiving in Canada and was among, the first to respond to the call for help from England, the mother country. Volunteer ing he went across and was attached to General Persh ing's staff. He was a patriotic citizen, a wonderful neighbor, always willing to lend a helping hand in the pinches and helped promote things beneficial to the community. He also was a devoted husband and father, giving much time and effort to the welfare and comfort of his family. The Table Rock road through here is to undergo some rebuilding operations with grading of road bed and paving. The work will be done next spring, according to Paul Rynning, county engi neer. This will be a county, state and Federal job, provid ing the irrigation ditch now in the right of way is moved, otherwise the government will not contribute, according to Rynning, who says the county will bear the cost of constructing a new ditch and filling the present one. Recent visitors at the Her schel Harper home were his brothers, Chancy of Portland, and Melvin, another brother, and his wife of Norwalk, Calif. ' As once more we approach the Christmas holidays, it re minds us that for more than 40 years we have been trying to give to- the local readers of the MT and others, the neighborhood happenings and realize during this time we have made many mistakes.

And, the Eagles hope to be in the same frame of mind again on Saturday night. They meet the Comets at . Central Point. Junior varsity openers are slated both tonight and tomorrow. Coach Tom Van Etten's aim this week in prepping the Eagles has been to get more of high scoring Bill Turner's teammates to pump in points along with him. He reported that Dave Huffman in par ticular has looked better in Baylor Needs Score Partner At Minneapolis United Press International Elgin Baylor's Christmas wish probably is for a scoring partner to help him lift Min neapolis out of the doldrums. Baylor, third highest scorer in the National Basketball as sociation this season, poured in 20 points in the last half to give the Lakers a 113-104 de cision over te Detroit Pistons Thursday night and end Min neapolis' f our-g a m e losing Streak. With the lead seesawirie and Detroit taking an 80-79 mar gin at the end of three quar ters, Baylor continued his su perlative last half shooting to give Minneapolis an edge it never relinquished. Baylor wound up with 26 points, one short of George Yardley's high-game total for Detroit. Celtics Win In the only other eame played, the Boston Celtics held off a determined Cincin nati comeback in the third period to defeat the Royals. 104-90. Boston led 52-41 at half- time, only to see the Royals pull to within four points, 72 68, at the start of the fourth quarter. Bill Sharman and Bob Cousy. with 21 and 19 ooints respectively, broke it open for the Celtics as Boston went on a tear to take the ver dict and move a game and a half up on the idle New York Knickerbockers in the Eastern Division. Jack Twyman coun tered 26 points for Cincinnati. tell him that the mistake must have been made by the print ers. Personally, we wouldn't have cared, as we were used to being told that we were overdrawn. We started writing, because at the time the previous cor respondent had moved away, and we felt we needed one to keep our identity, if noth ing else. The name "Table Rock" was given to the com munity when a postoffice was established here by the postal authorities back in the eigh ties. Before that, we used to go to Jacksonville for our mail. We know that people like to know what their neighbors are doing, but with loaded teleDhone lines, folks working in town, and busy at home, it is getting tougher to eet the news. We thank vou for your kindly consideration. we would like to suggest that you send us news from time to time which we will appreciate and try to give the proper slant.

Blood Drawing 138 Pints Short A total of 152 pints of blood were drawn Wednesday in Medford during the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, according to Mrs. Anita Burba, chairman of the Jack son county blood program. The drawing Wednesday was 138 pints short of the 290-pint quota, Mrs. Burba said. An estimated 178 people volunteered for the drawing and 26 of these were reject ed, mainly because of colds, Mrs. Burba explained.
