( GP Trims Tornado s In Track Encounter Five 1959 season bests by southern Oregon preppers were turned in at the senior high stadium last night when the Grants Pass high Cave men trimmed the Medford Black Tornado 66V2 to 55V2 in a dual track and field meet. Two of the five top per formances were recorded by Medofrd athletes. Don -Peek ran the 100 yard dash in :10 flat and Ron Reich captured the 440 run in :52 even. Grants Pass athletes marking up 1959 bests so far for this area were Glen Winningham with :15.3 in the high hurdles, Hugh Brown with :21.5 in the low hurdles and Roger Hoat son with 144 feet 10 inches in the discus. Eight GP Firsts Grants Pass, scantclads cap ped eight first places. Med ford took five clear firsts. Two Tornadoes, John Harvey and Skip Bennett, knotted with Larry Holmes, Grants Pass, for top points in the pole vaul. The Cavemen swept the low hurdles with Brown, Winning ham and Clark one-two-three and Medford had a near sweep in the high jump. George Koch won the event for the Tornado, Jerry Shults was second and Bob Mc Intyre tied with B u f o r d Smith, Grants Pass for third. Ability to place two men for points in eight of the 14 and a clutch anchor lap run ning job by Marv Terry in the 880-yard relay were among factors which helped the GP crew come out on top. Terry overcame a fair lead held by Medford's Len Griggs and nipped him at the tape for a win that gave the Cavemen five points. Medford netted none. Winningham Wins Two Winningham was the only double winner of the evening. The national record holder in the,-javelin took his specialty with 196 feet 3 inches. Koch was second for Medford in the spear event with his best heave this season, 183-3. Medford victors in events In addition to Peek, Reich and Koch were Mike Murray in the shot put and Griggs in the broad jump. Murray was out in front all by himself in the shot with 56-2. Steve Ben nett's second place effort for GP was 45-11. Griggs with 21-734 in the BJ was first by a substantial margin of Koch's second place 20-434. " For GP first places includ ed Ken Simmons in the mile, Terry in the 220 and Jim Armstrong in the half-mile. Hoatson had to beat the best counting effort of the season by Medford's Larry Nored in the discus. Nored was second with 143-4. The Tornado thrower had a longer heave but "scratched" on the try. Three Tornadoes Missing Bob Rix, Medford sopho more, gave Armstrong a good run in the 880, finishing just a yard behind the Caveman Simmons and Ray Smith, Medford, had the mile all to themselves with Simmons winner by about 10 yards. Medford was without the services of three of its first fine performers, Roger John son in the mile, Bruce Hill in the half and Robert Hamilton in the low hurdles. Johnson has a leg ailment and Hill and Hamilton were ill. Had they been entered and put up to par, scoring might have come out in favor of Medford, or at least, the margin would have been closer. GP's Terry in taking the 220 in :22.9 and Armstrong in winning the half in 2:03.3 turned in their best times of the year. , Medford will go to Klamath Falls for a track meet on Friday and Grants Pass will face Crater and Ashland at Central Point on Saturday, Mile Simmons.

SPORTS PARADE OSCAR FRALEY Sport Writer United Press 1 $4 ffh New York-fUPt-There is an old story concerning what happened to the men who owned a stable of thorough breds and a stable of harness horses which were cleaning up until suddenly he lost everything. "It's simple," he explained. "The runners started trotting and the trotters started run ning. So' I went broke." . It's that simple, too, with the New York Yankees. "The pitchers suddenly ain't pitching and the hitters ain't hitting," opines Manager Casey Stengel. But no matter what you hear, the wrinkled warrior isn't pressing the panic but ton and he isn't in danger of bein fired a la Bill Norman at Detroit. Ii- was Norman's sage and sad rebuttal that "managers are hired to be fired" but not so with the man who has led the Yankees to nine pennants and seven world championships in 10 years. Sweetness And Light Only since the Norman dis missal has the current sad plight of the Yankees come into focus. Before that, the De troit downfall took prece dence but, with that matter cleaned up, all eyes are now trained on the Yankees. Ac tually, the Yankees plight was even worse ali along. They were expected to be winners. Detroit only was given an overall vote of confidence to make he best run at the world champions. The standing of the club in the strange atmosphere of the lower strata of the ssvnd di vision is evident ia old Ca sey's attitude. He is all sweet ness and light. This, the Yankees will con fide, is ever the way when things are going bad. At such times, 'Stengel is most solici tous of his heroes, in a kindly manner attempting to rebuild tneir trambiing egoes. it is only when they are "hot" that he lashes out with the ship. Then he applies the old back room philosophy of "you've got 'em down, kick 'em." Stengel naturally is worried m, ..AY -J .-s FISTICUFFSTndian Man , . . .
