Adrian will play Gaston at 5 p.m. for the B school toga. Sutherlin will oppose Sherwood at 7 p.m. in, the A-2 finale and Jefferson will meet The Dalles at 9 p.m. for the A-l crown. The Dalles Shortstop Bob Porter singled home right fielder Bob Alford with the winning run with two out in the bottom of the 12th inning here last night to propel The Dalles Indians into the finals for the Oregon Class A-l high school baseball diadem Porter's blast into left field with the bases filled in the fifth extra stanza gave the In dians a 4 to 3 nod over the Medford Black Tornado in state semi-final game. The Dalles will meet Jefferson of Portland next Saturday night at Multnomah stadium in Portland for the big school crown. Jeff tipped Tigard 4 to 1 in the other semi on Monday night. The Indians piled up three of their runs in the third in ning and Medford sent the contest into overtime with all of its three marrs in an odd sevenw inning. Barr Lifted Winning hit in the tussle came off Tom Laurance, who had gone to the hill in the sev enth inning after starter Den nis Barr was lifted for p inch- batter Wayne Thompson. The Dalles relief chucker Pete Briles led off the 12th by flyiag out but catcher Norm Marks was safe when first baseman Lowell Dean dropped the throw from short stop Cal Dean on a ground ball. Marks was forced at sec ond on Alford's grounder. That made it two out with one man on base.' . A wild pitch by Laurance enabled Alford to go to sec ond. Leftfielder Chuck Searcy walked and both runners vanced on another wild pit Centerfielder Gary Betts walked to fill the sacks. Then Porter broke up the long eve ning, o The Dalles did their third inning tallying on a hitQy second baseman San Muller, bases on balls to first baseman Frank Betts and starting pitcher John Heldt, a ground out by third baseman Roger Peters, anverror when Marks' hard liner got through centgj fielder Jerry Anderson, and wild pitch by Barr. Infield Fly Ruled In the seventh in th suc cessful move to keepheamg alive, Bedford loaded tnej oases wnn none "out witn walks to second baseman Konopasek and Thomngpn and a safety by third baserr&n Ken Durkee. Then came a situation which possibly meant the dif ference between winning and losing for the Black Tornado, Rightfielder Ken Jensen hit a high flyball into short left field (or deep shortstop). The ball was dropped by shortstop Porter. He overthrew third base, Konopasek scooted home and the other runners ad vanced. The run counted by umpire Ken Westover called Jensen out by Invoking the in field fly rule. - Had Jensen been ruled safe bn a dropped outfield fly in- Terpretation), Medford migm have made it four runs in the inning. Next Cal Dean single scored Thompson and went to second base on the throw-in. Lowell Dean walked to fill the bases. Leftfielder George Ice flied out to left, Durkee scored on the sacrifice but .Cal Dean was caught at third base3 on the throw-in for a double play retiring ie side. 14 Bases on Balls The Dalles got to Tornado tossers Barr and Laurance for only two hits off each. Barr struck . out batters six times and Laurance four. Medford's chuckers yielded a total of 14 bases on balls, eight by Barr and six by Laurance. These augmerffcd the Indian threat through the game but only four of the free passes figured in the scoring. Heldt allowed three hits by the Tornado and Briles two with Durkee and Cal Dean each getting two safe blows for Medford. Durkee's tower ing triple to center field lead ing off the game was the only extra base swat of the night. Heldt whiffed seven and walked five and Briles fanned five and issued three bases on balls. Both clubs missed other opportunities to score. The Dalles left 14 men on base and Medford standed 13. The Tor nado had a big chance in the fourth when it loaded the sacs, with one out, on two er rors and a walk. But Konopa sek lined to second baseman Miller who tagged second for j an unassisted double play to stop the bid. tThoughi Conseritttivg Medford also had men eft second and third bases with one out in the ninth inning o Cal Dean's single and an er ror. Ice flied out ana .naer- son fanned. Tornado runnere reached second base on three other occasions. Some observ ers fen JYieaiora 0 piayea r conservatively on Durkee's three-bagger and that he had chance to make it 1L the way. The Indians got a man to third base in the first inninf and had the bases filled 'with one out in the fifth. They had men on first and second with One out in the seventh. Each team had two double plays. The Dalle-? , now has 21 scalps against three losses fbr the season. Medford wound up the season with 10 victories, T losses and 1 tie Ted Socks 2,500th Hit Kansas City, Mo. - (CPU -Ted Williams, 40-year-old Boston Red Sox star outfield er who last night hit the 2,500th base hit of his major league career, took the oc casion pretty much in his stride. He might have been a little happier had not the Kansas City Athletics triumphed over Boston, 5-3. ' Williams' hit was a ringing double into left center field in the first inning off right hander Ray Herbert. , The game was halted while the umpire presented the ball to Williams. After the game Williams said he well remembered his first hit. "It was off Charlie Ruffing in Yankee Stadium. It was a high, fast ball and I hit it over a 407-foot sign in right center field." That first hit occurred April 20,. 1939. Ted chuckled as he recalled. "After I made that first hit I got to second base and Joe Gordon (now manager of the Cleveland Indians) said to me, 'kid, are you scared?' "And I said, Yes I am scared.' Gordon said to me, 'Kid, you got nothing to worry about.' " BOX SCORE: Medford 3) Durkee. 3b 5 I Jensen, rf S Parsons 1 Quinney, rf C. Defcn, ft. Jl L,.

Syracuse, announced today that Carmen Basilio has accepted terms to fight Gene Fullmer for the National Boxing association version of the world middle weight championship at a western site to be determined later. Rothschild xsaid the cities under consideration were Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Ogden, Utah. Denver and Chicago also were designated as possible sites. The date for the match was designated as the first or sec ond week of August Both Basilio and Fullmer, who comes from West Jordan, Utah, has held . ' the world middleweight crown, although they never have met in the ring. Almost 10 million people belong to trade unions in Great Britain. There are near ly 650 of these unions in the country. - - Hay Robinson May Have Lost- Big Pay Chance New York-TCPD-Sugar Ray Robinson won a big argument when he retained New York recognition as world middle weight champion, but it began to appear today that he may have lost a big pay day. The "sugar man," who has won many a tough decision in the ring, was handed a sur prise victory- Tuesday when the New York State Athletic commission refused to go along with the National Box ing association, which has stripped Robinson of his title fat failure to meet Carmen Basilio. But Basilio now indicates that the decision means little as far as he's concerned-he's going ahead with plans to fight ex-champ Gene Fullmer in a bout to be recognized as a title fight by the NBA. That could mean a big jolt in the nocketbook for Robin son. Although Robinson then would b free to defend his Mew York version of the cf own against some other op ponent such as Germany's Gustav Scholz. a rlODinson- Scholz bout doesn't figure to aaake nearly as much as Rob-iaeon-Basilio. Approval Likely For Star Tussle Milwaukee (OPD Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick's ekeh and ironing out such de tails as radio and television commitments is all that stands between a second major league All-Star game in Los Angeles in August. Xxecutive Vice President Birdie Tebbetts of the Mil waukee Braves' said Tuesday club owners and players had approved a second game and tentatively selected Los Ange les as the site. A likely date is Aug. 3 an open date for both leagues. The regular all-star game is set for July 7 in Pittsburgh, flavors Suggest Frick has indicated he will go along with a second all-star eame which was advanced by Dlaver renresentative Robin Roberts of the Philadelphia Phillies as a means of increas ing the players pension fund and providing cash for minor league aid and youth baseball programs. The major leagues held two All-Star games during the war with the second game against former major ; leaguers in service. Tebbetts said the plan next year will be to hold the two games in American league cities and extend the normal All-Star break to four days to permit playing of both con tests. After that, tne games will alternate between the leagues like they do now.' Baseball Nine Bills Practice Camp White baseball team of the Rogue Valley league will hold a practice at 7 o'clock this evening at Me morial stadium, Manager Bob Smith has announced. The Whiters have no non loop activity this week but will be hosts to Grants Pass on Sunday. Massachusetts and Rhode Island are the only two states in the U.S. that have been completely mapped.

W. a '&M$&vm$?M is zt. r ', , . . , 1(7 6 HOLDING EDGE in size of chest, thighs and calves, Paolo Rosi (right) hopes to lift lightweight title from Champion Joe Brown in upcoming Washington fight. siPODinrs Bronn Defends Title f Against Paolo Rosi - JACK CUDDY Washington - (OPD - Cham pion Joe. Brown; slender Negro boxer-puncher, - is favored at 12-5 to beat Italian Paolo Rosi, a baldish raw boned slugger, tonight in their battle of "oldest men" for the world lightweight crown. They are the oldest pair to fight for the 135-oound titlei Brown, 33, and Rosi, 31. But each is still such an effective puncher that some "sports men" are- offering 7-5 that the bout at Uline Arena does not last its scheduled 15 rounds, regardless of the win ner. Promoter Goldie Ahearn expects a near-capacity 7,500 and a gate of more than $50, 000, despite two days of steady rain that curtailed somewhat the sale of tickets for this indoor show. Washington's first title fight in 18 years will be held at 7 p.m. (PSD. The last cham pionship fight here was on May 23, 1941, when Joe Louis won on a seventh-round disqualification over big Buddy Baer. Brown, who now lives at Baton Rouge, La., is making his seventh defense of the title in his 100th professional fight. He hopes within the next year to equal or surpass the eight successful defenses made by the late Benny Leonard who retired undefeated. However, 'Joe indicated in his last three performances that he may be slipping. He kept his title by an eyelash after 15 furious rounds with southpaw Kenny Lane. He lost a non-title decision to Johnny Busso but managed to beat Busso in a title fight, last Feb. 11," over the full 15 round route. " Nine Consecutive Wins Rosi - formerly of Rieta, Italy - but now a naturalized citizen living in New York -earned tonight's shot by com ing through his last nine bouts unbeaten, although held to one draw. His best wins on that string were a decision and a knockout in two bouts with Bobby Scanlon and a decision over Busso. This year he outpointed Flash Elorde and stopped Frankie Ryff in 3 on April 10. Rosi, son of a fireworks manufacturer, is an aggres sive banger, who fights either from the upright stance or from the bob and weave. A converted southpaw, his left hook is as dangerous as his right uppercut. Rosi didn't turn profes-' sional until he was 23. That accounts for his having only 36 fights. He won 31, lost four and has one draw. . He registered 13 knockouts. Haddix, Aaron Tie for Honor Cincinnati (DPD Harvey Haddix of Pittsburgh, who pitched perfect ball for 12 in nings and still lost, had to set tle for - a tie with Hank Aaron of Milwaukee today in the National League's "Play er of the Month" award for May. Haddix polled 17 votes, the same number as Aaron, from a voting committee of 40 base ball writers and broadcasters who participate in the NL's monthly balloting.

Cirino was unable to an swer the bell for the sixth round because of an injured hand. Moyed hit solidly with both lefts and rights. It was the first fight for Moyer, who weighed 152, since his losing April battle with Yama Bahama, British West Indies, in a bout tele vised nationally from here. Cirino weighed 155. There were no knockdowns. The total area of the 49 states that make up the-U.S. is 2,309,623,680 acres. Less than two per cent of that consists of inland waterways. Olympic Games Withdrawal of o U.S. Proposed Washington-UPD-The United States should withdraw from the 1960 Olympic Games if the Nationalist Chinese are not allowed to compete, in the opinion of Rep. Francis E. Dorn (R-N.Y.). Dora's statement followed an accusation by the U. S. State DeDartment Tuesrlav that the International Olym pic committee had bowed to "Communist pressures" in ex pellin Nationalist China from membership. Dorn called the expulsion of Nationalist China "shameful" and that IOC President Avery Brundage of the United States 0 should resign his position in protest. () 'The United States must not allow a friend of many years to be pushed aside by Commu nist blackmail," said Dorn. "We must prove to all our Al lies that the United States will support every one of our friends." baY Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Drain Tile Bricks, Flees 727 W.
