VV l 1 " HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE , United Press International It's a good thing the Mon treal Canadiens are so far ahead they can't hear all the excitement going on behind them in the National Hockey league. The noise might stir them up and make 'em tough er in the Stanley cup playoffs. The clubs behind the Cana diens are battling merrily for playoff positions and the last playoff berth. Two last-period goals by Johnny Bucyk Sunday night gave the Boston Bruins a 5-3 victory over the Canadiens and undisputed second place. The Chicago, Black Hawks, who started the evening tied with Boston, slipped to third when they lost at home to the Detroit Red Wings, 4-1.

"The last couple of years, these players have faced El gin Baylor, Bob Boozer and Wilt Chamberlain and they have never shied off yet," he pointed out. "We're going to face a real club Friday," he continued. "Oscar Robertson is another great one. But I don't think his being on the court will psyche our boys." Another coach today sug gested that it may be Cin cinnati which will be intimi dated by the defensive-minded Bears. He was Jim Weaver, whose St. Mary's Gaels were demol ished 66-46 by Cal in last Sat urday's finals of the Western Regional Tournament at San Francisco. Defense May Do It "Defense could take Calif ornia all the way at Louis ville," he commented. "Nat urally, California can't expect to shut out a player like Rob ertson, but Cincinnati is a team that likes to run. Calif ornia's pressure could force them to play a type of game with which they aren't famil iar and they might have to take the anxiety shot." The ease with which the Bears rolled through the Western regionals .surprised even the most staunch Cal backer and had Western fans talking of a national title to day. Friday night California rojled over Skyline champ ion Utah, 71-53, while St. Schroeder Ladies' Pin Champion Woodburn, Ore. (UPD The 17th annual Oregon State Women's Bowling champion ships ended a seven-week run Sunday night. Betty Schroeder of Wood burn had the highest class A singles score with 640 while Bernice Kalanish and Wanda Prociw of Eugene captured class A doubles with 1247. - Dottie Caudare of Albany led in all-events with 1682 while Timber Structures of Portland had the top class A team score with 2549. Canadians Cop Crown Prague, Czechoslovakia-dJPD - The Canadians emerged from the world amateur ice hockey championships with a slightly-tarnished title while the well-behaved Yanks took fourth place and the "Fair Play Cup." The Canadians, booed throughout the round-robin tournament for body checks, which are considered illegal by Europeans, retained the crown but were upset by Czechoslovakia in the final game Sunday, 5-3. Russia and Canada finished with 4-1 rec ords, but the Canadians plac ed first because of a better goal average. They scored 21 and allowed only seven while Russia had a 20-10 mark. The Russians won their final game Sunday against Sweden 4-2. Czechoslovakia's upset tri umph over Canada delighted 15,000 spectators and enabled it to finish third. Both the Czechs and Yanks finished with 3-2 records but the host nation had a 22-14 goal aver age against the U. S. 23-15. Red Sox, Cards Trade Hurlers San Diego, Calif. -(LTD- The Boston Red Soxave traded Pitcher Dean Stone to the St. Louis Cardinals for hurler Nelson Chittum. Chittum, who spent most of last season with Omaha where he had a 12-8 record, was sent to the Boston club's Minneapolis farm team, the Red Sox announced Satur day. Stone had a 13-10 rec ord with Minneopolis last year and struck out 153 men but gave up 119 bases on balls. Klamath Falls TU 2-4126 Bears Prub SM; Mary's dropped Idaho State 80-71.

Cal's heroes . against St. Mary's were guard Denny Fitzpatrick, who hit nine for MedfordlWTribune Redlegs Still Have Hex on Milwaukee By EARL WRIGHT United Press International It's a new season but the same old Cincinnati Reds as far as the Milwaukee Braves are concerned. In 1957, the Braves smooth ed their path to the National League pennant by defeating the Reds in 18 of their 22 meetings. Last spring the Reds vowed it- wouldn't happen again but Milwaukee won 17 of 22 en route to another pennant. The two clubs clashed Sun day for the first time this year. It was the same old story as the Braves won, 11-5. Of course, it was only art exhibition, but it bore the un mistakable stamp of Milwau kee's strange mastery over Cincinnati. Felix Mantilla collected four hits, including two dou bles, while Bill Bruton got three hits and drove in three runs to lead Milwaukee's 17 hit romp. To make it more embarrassing for the Reds, the Braves got 11 hits and nine runs off Bob Purkey, Cincin nati's ace right-hander. Frank Robinson of Cincin nati hit the game's only homer. Cardinals Lace Larsen Purkey wasn't the only star who took his lumps Sunday. The St. Louis Cardinals treat ed Don Larsen like a batting practice pitcher while crush ing the New York Yankees, 10-3. The Cardinals got to Lar sen in the third for six runs on three hits, two errors and a walk, four of the runs being earned. Ryne Duren, New York's fire-balling relief pitch er, replaced Larsen and held St. Louis to one run in the three innings he worked. Moose Skowron of the Yan kees again brought a grin to Manager Casey Stengel's face by getting a double, two sin gles and a walk. He has a .556 average so far in exhi bition play. The Los Angeles Dodgers, setting a hot exhibition pace, climbed to the top of the Florida Grapefruit League standings by edging the Wash- Perfect Scores Fired Here for , Journal Shoot Don Peterson, Martin Clog ston, Ray Coleman and Jack Burns fired perfect 25s yest erday as Medford Gun club began its annual participation in the Oregon Journal Tele graphic trapshoot.

Suggs Winner In Titleholders Augusta, Ga. (UPD -Louise Suggs and Betsy Rawls agreed on one thing today-neither ever shot a better round of golf. For Miss Suggs, the 10-year veteran of the golf wars, a final round 71 was just what she needed Sunday to win the 20th annual Augusta Women's Titleholders champ ionship. Her 72-hole total was 297. For Miss Rawls, her round of 70 - two . strokes . under men's figures on the Augusta Country Club course and only one stroke off the women's course record-it was a brides maid finish. She wound up second with 298. 16 shots and 21 points, and the big center, Darrall Im hoff, who scored 10, dominat ed backboard play and held Gael center Tom Meschery to five points. Three men form the heart of the Bear team.

It was the Dodger's fifth exhibition triumph in seven games. Jim Gentile hit two doubles and Charlie Neal blasted a triple to lead the Dodgers. Danny McDevitt held the Senators to one hit in the four innings he pitched. Gen tile's double, followed by Don Demeter's single, gave Los Angeles the decisive run in the fourth. Zernial Blasts Homer Gus Zernial, who shares the major league record of nine pinch-hit homers with Cy Williams and Bobby Hoff man, is warming up to break the deadlock. Gus blasted a pinch-hit homer over the left field fence with one on and two out in the ninth to give the Detroit Tigers a 2-1 vie tory over the Chicago White Sox. , Zernial got the homer off Bob Shaw after Billy Pierce and Barry Latman shut out the Tigers on four hits during the first seven innings. Gus Triandos hit a three run homer off Howard Reed in the sixth inning to snap a 6-6 tie and give the Balti more Orioles a 9-6 victory over the Kansas City Ath letics. It was Baltimore's third straight triumph. Harry Anderson drove in four runs with three hits, in cluding a homer, and Valmy Thomas hit a three-run homer to lead the Philadelphia Phil lies to a 13-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Dick. Stu art and Bill Virdon homered for the losers. The Phillies collected 15 hits off Ron Kline and Harvey Haddix, the An derson and Thomas homers coming off Haddix. The Cleveland Indians scor ed an unearned run in the last of the ninth to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 5-4.
