t MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, April 1, 1959 Window breaking Keds Bust Phils By FRED DOWN United Press International The Cincinnati Reds are be ginning to look like those famous "window breakers" of 1957-except that they're also getting the pitching. A long-shot National league pennant shot, the Reds have won six of their last seven games scoring a total of 35 runs compared to 10 for the opposition. They've had four different pitchers go nine in nings and Tuesday saw three of their "fringe" pitchers com bine in a 5-0 shutout of the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition, Manager Mayo Smith saw Gus Bell blast out two homers and Ed Bailey hit one-all off Robin Roberts who staggered through his second nine-inning job of the spring. Jim O'Toole, the rookie hope of the camp, Willard Schmidt and Bob Mabe were the pitchers who collaborated in Tuesday's three-hit shutout -second in four games for the Reds. O'Toole, a 6-foot left hander who won 20 games for Nashville last season, held the Phiilies hitless and walked one in four innings. Schmidt yielded a sixth-inning single to Roberts and Mabe double to Jim Hegan and a single to Willie Jcnes in the eighth. Pierce, Friend Win Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox and Bob Friend of the Pittsburgh Pirates indi cated they are approaching top form in other significant performances. Pierce, the White Sox' like ly opening-day pitcher, yield ed five hits in seven shutout innings as the Sox topped the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-1. The Cardinals scored their only run off Bob Shaw when Bill White homered-his third in as many games since traded by San Francisco. General BOWLING KIWAXIS JUNIOR LEAGUE Standings: W. L.

HOCKEY United Press International The Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Black Hawks, a couple of teams that climbed back from the brink of disas ter to breathe new life into the Stanley Cup semi-finals, were brimming with confi dence today that they could keep their comebacks rolling.

And the Hawks came through with a 3-1 triumph over the defending cup cham pion Montreal Canadiens at Chicago, to create another 2-2 deadlock.

This year the pond will be located outside the armory, sponsored by Gilmans Dairy under big plastic bubble. . Harry Ringland and Homer Morris, owners of the trout farm, expect to keep between 300 and 350 hungry trout in the pond at all times during the fair. It is not feasible, th'ey said, to keep more than this number in the pond as the fish need .plenty of fresh water and oxygen. More Eager Trout to be planted in the Sportsfair pond will not be fed for two days prior to the fair. Ringland and Morris ex plained that the fish will travel better from the farm to the armory better on an empty stomach and will also be more eager to take the bait offered by young anglers. Salmon eggs and beef liver are the preferred foods: the fish prefer the liver, but the salmon eggs are easier to handle for feeding purposes. The trout farm has been situated four miles above Tal ent on the Anderson Creek rd. for two years, in what the state game commission has designated as one of the best natural locations for a trout hatchery in the state. McGinty reports that big crowds of eager youngsters are expectee to "limit out" during the fair April 10, 11 and 12, at the Medford arm ory.

Eddie Machen Stops Opponent Sacramento, Calif. (CPU Heavyweight Eddie Machen of Redding, Calif., shuffling along the well trodden come back trail, scored a ninth round technical knockout Tuesday night over Clarence Williams of Hollywood. The unranked Williams car ried the battle to Machen throughout the first eight rounds and might have won on points but for Eddie's sud den awakening. Machen, who barely used his right hand, came to life after Willams doused him with a left-right combination on the head in the last seconds of the eighth. The 200 pound northern California fighter came out or the ninth with a two'fist- ed attack that polished off Williams in one minute, 42 seconds. Williams entered the fray at 197.

The hot-shot hurler from the St. Louis Cardinals is ex pected to help San Francisco into pennant contention, and some experts have already predicted the Giants are it for the 1959 National league crown. One of those experts was Cleveland Indian Manager Manager Joe Gordon who said in Tucson Tuesday that Jones and hurler Jack San fofd could make the differ ence. "I like the Giants to win the pennant," Gordon said. "The club has always had the potential in my book." Show Potential San Francisco showed a bit of that potential Tuesday when it downed Gordons club, 7 to 5, with the help of homeruns by Orlando Cepeda and Bob Schmidt.

Haney's big decision on his perplexing second-base prob lems followed the announce ment of a six-player deal in which the Braves obtained Lopata and infielders Johnny O'Brien and Ted Kazanski from the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Gene Conley and infielders Harry Hanebrink and Joe Koppe. "Mantilla's going to start President Receives Gold Pass Washington- (UPD -President Eisenhower today set himself a task more difficult than than balancing the budget.

"But look for Chuck Cottier to take over later on. We're playing the Pirates in our opening series and i don't want to expose Cottier to that kind of pressure." Asked how the acquisition of O'Brien affected his second-base plans, Haney re plied: "We traded a bench man for a bench man." Ka zanski, who received a $100,--000 bonus from the Phillies in 1951, is being sent to Louis ville of the American associ ation "on a temporary basis." Mantilla is a 24-year-old na tive of Isabela, P.R., whose "lack of incentive" often has been criticized. He hit .221 in 85 games last season. Cottier, an unheralded rookie not yet on the Milwaukee roster, has been the surprise package of the spring for the Braves. "Conley is the big man in the deal for us," said General Manager John Quinn of th Phillies. "He is a good gamble because he's a lot better than his 0-6 record last season and he can be a good pitcher for four or five years." "I like Koppe very much," said Phillies' Manager Eddie Sawyer.
