Turley, who won two games and saved a third in the Yan kees' great Series comeback, played the "all American Boy" again Tuesday night when his brilliant relief pitch ing enabled the world cham pions to end their five-game losing streak with a 3-2, 10 inning victory over the Kan sas City Athletics. The triumph - a thriller in" which Turley struck out the side in the last of the 10th after an opening pop-fly dou ble by Hector Lopez got the Yankees back in the win col umn but was too much of a personal victory to indicate the champions actually have shaken their slump. Turley, who has scored the Yankees' only two victories since April 22, stopped a four-game skid April 29 but the New 'York ers promptly lost five more in a row. Play Longest Game , The American league's pitch er of the year in 1958, Tur- lay has only a 3-3 record this season but the Yankees have scored a total of four runs in his three defeats. The Yankees struggle to end their astonishing slump overshadowed the longest game of the year so far - a 16-inning battle in which the Milwaukee Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, and went back into first place in the National league.' Hank Aaron, who's known a little World Series glory himself, broke it lip with a 400-foot double that , scored Eddie Mathews from first base four minutes before a tie-producing curfew was due. The league-leading Cleve land Indians walloped the Bal timore Orioes, 9-1; the Detroit Urigers downed the Boston Red Sox, 8-3; and the Wash ington Senators defeated the Chicago White Sox, 8-3 in the other American league games. The Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-2; the Chicago Cubs whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3; ; and the Philadelphia Phillies ral lied for an 8-7 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the other National league activ ity. - Lepcio Hits Grandilam Aaron - doubled . home the tying run for the Braves in the seventh inning of their four-hour and 47 minute game and Don McMahon and Bob Rush limited the Dodgers to only one hit for the next eight innings before Hammerin' Hank came through again. Lefty Don Ferrarese pitched no-hit ball until the seventh inning and finished with a four-hitter for the Indians who backed him with' a 12 bit attack. ' ' Ted Lepcio, traded by Bos ton last Saturday, hit a grand slam homer against his form er mates as the Tigers made it. three straight victories un der new Manager Jimmy Dykes and Jim Lemon, Bob Allison and Harmon Killi brew paced Washington's 13 bit attack that tagged White Sox ace Billy Pierce with his second defeat. Don Newcombe pitched a five-hitter and Frank Robin son hit a three-run homer as the Reds knocked the Giants out of first place. George Altaian's upper deck homer at Forbes Field was the big blow for the Cubs as Pittsburgh's Bob Friend suffered his fifth straight set back, and Ed Bouchee's bases filled single climaxed a five run ninth-inning rally that en abled Philadelphia's Dick Far rell to win his first game since Aug. 8. Cardinal Manager Solly Hemus suffered his first ejection .during the heated game. LINESCORES: National League St. Louis 100 200 013 7 13 0 Philadelphia 020 001 005 8 12 1 - Mizell, Brosnan (9).

Big Guarantee Offered Sugar New York (DPD - The Madi son Square Garden Boxing club disclosed today it has offered Sugar Ray Robinson a $500,000 minimum guarantee plus certain percentages, to defend his middleweight crown against Carmen Basilio in September at Los Angeles. Explaining the guarantee second largest to a fighter in ring history-General Manager Harry Markson said. "We are hopeful that Robinson will ac cept the match. If he does, we believe we can come to terms with Basilio." Although the offer was made before the National Box ing association stripped Sugar Ray of the NBA portion of his crown on Monday, it still stands-if Robinson signs for the fight before the May 15 deadline of the New York State Athletic commission.

Unspectacular Win Sacramento scored three runs in the sixth inning in typically unspectacular fash ion to wrap up the contest. A walk, singles.by Al Heist, Nip py Jones, Cuno Barragan and pitcher Roger Bowman did the damage. . A pair of doubles -by Mike Krsnich helped account for the other Solon tallies. Spokane fans were treated to their first victory of the season in the Indian ball park as Chris Nicolosi tossed a five hit shutout. Three of the Padre hits were picked up by Rod Graber. First Inning Blood '" , ' Spokane scored the only run it really needed in the first inning when shortstop Maury Wills came home on a single by Tony Roig. The Indians scored four more times in the fourth inning. Steve Bilko belted a double and Wills hit a triple for the big blows of the frame. Vancouver got off to a solid first inning start in its game with Salt Lake when Joe Taylor lashed his fifth home run of the season with one mate aboard. Connie Johnson, who re lieved starter Charlie Beamon was the winner. Marv Breed ing and Taylor each drove in three runs to pace the Moun ties at the plate. Camp Wh iters Will Practice Manager Bob Smith has called for a practice of the Camp White semi-pro base ball team at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Medford High field. .

C MEDFORD MOTORS 225 S. Riverside Committees Face Legal Problem in Considering Minor Leaque Troubles By JOHN GRIFFITH New York (DPD The law won't let him go as far as he might like, but Baseball Com missioner Ford Frick is try ing to pump television money and more players into the minor leagues in an effort to keep them alive. Frick, calling these two items the problems that "are killing the minors," appoint ed separate committees Tues day to look into each of them and see what can be done. But, as the twin committees faced their work today they found their first problem is legal - because" baseball has not yet been granted the ex emption from anti-trust laws that Frick believes the game desperately needs to survive in its present form. As the law now reads, any attempt by the major and mi nor leagues to restrict televi sion of games could make baseball guilty of monopoly. Similarly, the matter of "who controls how many players" also is fraught with peril. Two Bills Pending A bill to rid baseball of these legal worries was intro duced in Congress last year. It would have exempted cer tain business practices of Oregonians Tied in ND Corvallis -(DPD Rain caused cancelation of the Oregon State-Washington baseball game Tuesday, leaving OSC tted with Oregon atop the Northern Division standings with a 5-2 mark. Washington is 7-3. Under conference rules the game ! cannot be made up when the! two teams meet later this month in Seattle. Washington has four re maining games - all at home. Oregon and Oregon State are on the road for their remain ing contests except for one at home against each other. Indian Start May End Long NY Domination Milwaukee, Wis. (DPD - Mickey Vernon, the Milwau kee Braves' lean arrival from the American league which he called home for nearly two decades, feels, the Cleveland Indians' fast start could mean the end of Yankee domina tion in the junior circuit. While not predicting a pen nant for the Indians - for whom he hit .293 a year ago -o rcounting out the Yankees, Vernon said the "other clubs have gained confidence be cause of what's been happen ing to the Yanks." . "It's hard to remember when the Yankees have start ed so poorly. Given that psy chological edge, all the clubs in the league might turn Yan kee killers.- In the past, they've had only one or two challengers. This year, even the Senators, my old club, look good." Vernon was a first base start at Washington for many years, winning the league batting title twice. He put in a year at Boston and two at Cleve land before being traded to the Braves at the start of this season. Annual movement of the nations wheat crop comprises the biggest single transporta tion job in the world. y it'll baseball and other profession al sports from the anti-trust laws. But after being passed by the House it died in the Senate when Congress ad journed before it could be brought to a vote. Two other "sports bills" are pending in Congress now. One is similar to the bill which died last year, and this bill baseball men regard hope fully. The other bill is not as popular with baseball. . Six Schools In Rogue Loop Meet Six schools will be entered Saturday in the Rogue league and District 6 A-2 southern division track meet on Satur day at Southern Oregon col lege field at Ashland. Entries will be Eagle Point, Phoenix, Henley, Rogue River, Illinois Valley and Glendale. Athletes taking first, second and third places in each event will qualify for the full dis trict meet on May 16 at Ash land. Field events will 'all be run off in the morning this Satur day with sprint and hurdle preliminaries in morning and race finals in the afternoon. First events Saturday are set for 10 a.m. Afternoon ac tivity will begin at 1:30 p.m. Odds in Heavy Bout Expected To Be Snorter New York (DPD Champ Siegal, Broadway "sports man," today called Sweden's Ingemar Johansson "an up right Dempsey." That was the impression of one of New York's better known men about - boxing after studying the solid, round chested challenger who will try to wrest the world heavy weight title from Floyd Pat terson on June 25. "He's the best short-puncher I've seen since Jack Demp sey," said Siegal, whose var ious activities once included managing fighters. "The dif ference is: Johansson fights from an upright stance, and Dempsey " fought from a crouch with a bob and weave." Patterson is favored at 14-5 to snap Johansson's profes sional string of 21 straight victories. Siegal said those odds will shorten considerably before the fights, "after the sports writers see the Swede in training a few times and begin to realize that Patterson will be very lucky if he doesn't get knocked out." Hunting Rule Hearings Early Portland -(DPD The State Game commission said hunt ing regulations for 1959 would be set two months earlier than usual. A bill signed by Gov. Mark Hatfield in Salem Monday gave the commission author ity to choose its own hearing dates to set hunting seasons. Previous statutes made hunt ing hearings mandatory in July. Public hearings will be held May'22 and June 5 with final regulations after the second hearing. '11 FRIDAY MM 8 Ifs German made . . . ifs from Ford!

Giants Bill Long Home Park Stand Cincinnati -(DPD- The San Francisco Giants have a chance to make a bid for dominance in the fierce Na tional league pennant scrap Thursday when they open a lengthy home stand against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants, who ended their first eastern swing with a 6 to 6 record after losing to Cincinnati 5 to 2, Tuesday night, play 21 of their next 24 games at home. In . San Francisco, the Giants have a definite edge. In addition to last licks, they figure to be better able to take advantage of the friend ly winds that blow the ball toward the left field seats at Seals stadium. All the Giants' regular powermen, except Willie Kirkland, swing from the right side of ' the plate.
