Braves Take Fifth In Row From Pirates By JOHN GRIFFIN United Pressjnlernalional The Cincinnati Reds are refusing to play dead for the Milwaukee Braves any more, but the Braves have found a brand new bunch of "cousins" -the Pittsburgh Pirates. Remember how the Braves marched to the National League pennant in 1957 by rolling up an amazing 18-4 mark against the Reds in their season series? And repeated last year by beating the Reds 17 times .against only five losses? Now they're doing the same thing to the Pirates. A 5-2 Milwaukee triumph Monday that boosted the Braves back into second place was their Backer Up Role Seen For Plumley Oregon State College, Cor vallis - One exceptional line man missing, but still plenty of good ones around to help take up the slack. That's Oregon State's foot ball picture in the middle of the line - a strategic spot where games often are won or lost. The man missing, of course, is all-America tackle Ted Bates, one of the truly great . linemen ever produced here. He made everybody's team. His starting right tackle slot will go to dependable Howard Hogan, who has served as un derstudy to Bates the past two years. Hogan should be ready as a senior to assume the big responsibility, and he's backed up by sophomore Neil Plumley (of Medford) and let-J terman Earl Woodward. At left tackle is Big Ed Kao helaulii, possibly the best line man on the entire squad. He was good enough to be a regu lar last year, but showed in spring drills he's reached full maturity now. Sophomores Mike Kline and Guy SimtSr son, a couple of hefties, go behind Kaohelaulii, but they lack the experience so neces sary. Depth at Guards Oregon State conceivably could have its best depth at the guard positions since Coach Tommy Prothro took over the reins here in 1955. Sonny Sanchez, at starting left guard, has the ability and speed to become one of the really good ones. At right guard, George (Deacon) Ender le proved his true worth in spring drills. Both are to be seniors. Two lettermen holdovers spell depth behind Sanchez. Dennis Brundage and Mike Dolby are the pair, and both have experience, though the latter missed most of spring practice because of a bad knee. A couple of promising soph omores are ready to back up Enderle at right guard. One is John Cadwell, the other Webb Johnson. Both have a lot of ability, but of course will miss that experience. .In any event, the depth at both guard positions is better than it was a year ago. Clinics Conducted . . Meanwhile, OSC officials keep busy in anticipation of another successful season ahead. The coaching staff spends much of the summer reviewing films, scouting all star high school games and evaluating personnel. Prothro has conducted several clinics throughout the nation. Jim Barratt's ticket office has been busy accepting ticket application orders, too. Ore gon State has another good home slate ahead, starting off with a September 19 evening opener against the powerful Southern Calif ornian Trojans in Portland. Corvallis games include Idaho, Washington State and Stanford, while the OSC-Oregon game this year will be played at Eugene. Advance ticket sales gener ally have been good, with chief interest centered around the USC tilt. Reserved seat prices are $4 for that game and $3.50 for each of the three Corvallis encounters. All ap plications should be sent to Coliseum 103, Corvallis. 10th in 13 games with Pitts burgh this year, the last five wins in a row. Braves Sweep Five This win on Joey Jay's five hit pitching climaxed a five game series sweep that really saved the Braves' bacon. The champs stumbled into this se ries with eight losses in their last 10 games but a visit from the new "cousins" got them healthy again quick. Now they're only a game-and-a-half behind the league-leading San Francisco Giants. Ronnie Kline of the Pirates had the Braves blanked, 2-0, until Milwaukee scored all its five runs in the seventh inning in a rally that featured Bob by Avila's two-run triple. The loss was the seventh straight for the Pirates, who now have skidded into the second divi sion. In the only other National league game Monday, Cincin nati downed St. Louis, 8-3. In the American league, Bos ton blanked Cleveland, 4-0, to drop the Indians back into a first-place tie with idle Chi cago; Gene Woodling's slug ging led Baltimore to a 5-2 win over Detroit; and Kansas City scored its eighth straight win, 7-6, over Washington. Temple Homers Johnny Temple's three-run homer led the Reds' 11-hit at tack as they beat the Cards. Bob Purkey scattered nine Card hits to gain his ninth win. Rookie Jerry Casale pitched a three-hitter for the Red Sox to beat the Indians, snapping the Red Sox' six-game losing streak and the Indians' five game winning streak. . Woodling drove in all of the Orioles' five runs with a sin gle and the first grand slam he's hit in 13 years in the ma jors. His bases-full blast off Jim Bunning of Detroit in the third inning was the 27th homer served up by Bunning this year. Roger Maris hit a grand slam homer for the A's in their win over the Senators, but actually Kansas City's pair of winning runs in the eighth inning were unearned, thanks to an error by Ken Aspromonte. Harmon Kille brew's 33rd homer, tops in the majors, and a grand slam by Faye Throneberry couldn't save the Senators from their ninth straight defeat. RESULTS: National Leacu r ?

The 16 new alleys at the lanes actually were put in use last Thursday, July 23, but the other two sets of alleys were idle at different periods since for resurfacing. Proprietor Fred Anderson reported that grand opening and open house for the ex panded establishment has been set fof Wednesday, Aug. 5. In conjunction with that event event Andy (The Great) Vari papa, Hempstead, Long Island, N. Y., will appear in exhibi tion. Varipapa, newly-elected to bowling's Hall of Fame, has been termed the world's great est trick shot artist. Larger Lunch Facilities Expansion at Medford lanes includes enlarged luncheon facilities, not yet complete, and a nursery, not yet in op eration. The luncheon counter and booths will accommodate 68 people. The 16 newest alleys are in a 115 by 120-foot addition. Medford lanes originally was built as a 12-lane facility to which 10 lanes later were added. Ten of the 22 lanes were closed July 18 for resurfacing and were reopened on July 22. The other 12 were shut down after that and were open again last night. Ontario province has 10,000 miles of rail trackage. MedfordTribuni siPODninrs McCovey Hits 29th As PCL Clubs Split By DON BECKER ' United Press International Up and down the Pacific Coast league they're saying big Willie McCovey is the guy who's going to, knock Orlando Cepeda off first base for the San Francisco Giants. The 21-year-old McCovey is leading the PCL in every ma jor batting department. He's hitting .377, has 29 homers and 93 rbi's. "They're going to have to move Cepeda to third or the Metro All-Stars Eye Opportunity To Even State Portland The Metropolitan all-stars will have a chance to "even the statistics" when they clash with a team of State all-stars in the 12th an nual Shriners' hospital foot ball game here Aug. 15. The Metros have Been catch ing up the past two years, after six years 1951 through 1956 without, a victory. Best the Metros could do during that period was a 7 to 7 tie in 1955, and their worst per formance was a 50 to 0 loss inl954. "Thanks to a 28 to 7 win in 1957 and a surprisingly easy 32 to 7 win last year, the Metros have almost evened the score with their State riv als. The record now stands at 6 wins for the Staters as against 4 for the Metros, plus the single tie. The Staters have scored 163 points, the Metros 144, giving the former an av erage of 14.75 per game and the latter, 13.1 points. Wide Open Play Evidence of the wide-open play that has characterized the game since its inception in 1948 is the 28 point per game combined scoring average. Qualified observers predict that this year's contest will be the highest scoring affair to date. They base their fore cast on the fact that both squads are "loaded" with backs who can gallop and quarterbacks who can throw. These same observers be lieve that last year's crop of high school seniors was one of the best in recent years, and their opinions are sub stantiated by the college coaches of the area who have shown keen interest in a great er number of players than ever before in recent history. Police Captain Eugene W. Ferguson, the game's manag ing director, said advance ticket sales for the colorful contest have prompted' the committee to anticipate the largest crowd ever. More than 40,000 foreign students study in the United States colleges every year. outfield," says one veteran PCL scribe. "McCovey's that good. He's too big, and a little too awkward to play any where else but first." Smacks 29th Homer The 6-4, " 198-pound Mc Covey cracked his 29th hom er Monday night as Phoenix won the opening game of a twin bill with Spokane, 5-4. Spokane won the second tilt, 7-5.' The only other action saw Vancouver and Salt Lake split a pair of 2-1 games. By reason of Vancouver's split, the Sacramento Solons took back sole possession of first place by one percentage point. Jim Baumer delivered a two-run single in the fifth in ning to give Salt Lake it's opening game victory over Vancouver. The blow broke up; a tight pitching duel be tween Salt Lake's Ed Bauta and Chuck Estrada. Both teams collected only four hits in the seven inning contest. Estrada came back in the second game to pick up the win in relief. Estrada, who is now 8-3, pitched only the ninth inning in relief of start er Fred Besana. But the Mounties scored in the top of the 10th when Marv Breed ing singled infield and went to third on losing pitcher Jim Umbricht's error. Ray Barker then singled home Breeding. Connie Johnson set the Bees down in the bottom of the 10th. Wind Aids Giants A wind-blown double by third sacker J.' Van Noy gave Phoenix the opener against Spokane. Marshall Renfroe went the route for the Giants, and Bob Speake and Al Steig litz hit - homers for Phoenix along with McCovey. A ninth-inning homer by Tony Roig gave Spokane the second game. Phoenix made five errors during the loosely played contest. The Giants got homers off the bats of Roger McCardell, Owen Friend and Bill Wilson, but the errors were more significant than the distance belting. Bud Watkins was charged with the loss, only his second in nine decisions since joining the Giants. Lloyd Merritt was credited with his first PCL win while working in relief for the Indians.
