Johnny Podres (10-7) the southpaw ace who has won his last two decisions, was picked by Manager Walt Als ton to take the mound against the Pirates' Ron Kline (8-11). Podres holds one win this sea son against the Pirates as does Kline over Los Angeles. The Dodgers collected seven unearned runs in the fifth in ning Thursday night against Cincinnati, and they needed them. Final score was 8-5.

McDevitt pitched 8 23 inning before being yanked when he served up a homer to Frank Thomas, gave up a walk and a single. Sherry " walked the first batter he faced to fill, the bases. But he quickly stifled any hopes felt by the 8,806 fans at Crosley Stadium by striking out the next batter to end the game. Pitching National league Face.

Va. - (UPI) - Sam Snead paused today in slamming the golf ball to slam the Profes sional Golfers association for "slowly killing" tournament golf. The slammer referred to re cently enacted PGA by-laws setting up penalties for tour nament champions who fail to defend their titles. Sam is faced with a prob lem as a result of the rule, and right now he doesn't know what will come of it. He has balked at partici pating in the 1959 Dallas Open tournament he has won the past two years and the reason is money. "They have, guaranteed me a small amount to return, but it would cost me more than double that in expenses alone to go out there and play," Snead said at his home club here, the Greenbrier Golf club. "That new rule they've got about penalties will kill off tournament golf," Sam said. "They are trying to force us to play in the tournaments. The tournament sponsors know this." Snead indicated the penal ty for his failure to play in the Dallas tournament sched uled Sept. 11-14 would be Cromwell, Conn. - (CPU - A Shetland pony was killed by a car because it didn't live up to its name: "Watch It." $500.

Pacific Hiway Medford Distributor For Phone SP 2-9122 LONGYEAR INDUSTRIAL DIAMOND DRILLS Holes , From &" to 16" In Diameter Drilled Through Reinforced Concrete, Brick, Masonry, Tile, Cast Iron, etc. FASTER Diamond drilling takes advan tage of the ability of diamonds to cut other materials. Hun dreds of small stones are set with sharp edges exposed for maximum cutting action. Dia- monds in Longyear bits are carefully positioned to make full use of natural cutting edges. CHEAPER The extreme hardness of- dia monds gives them excellent wearing qualities, making dia mond bits outperform and out last other types of cutting tools. A hole 4-6 inches in diameter through solid concrete 4 inches thick can be drilled in from 3 to 5 minutes. BETTER Holes drilled with diamond bits are clean and even, eliminating expensive patch-up work after wards. During the drilling, the ' small amount of cooling water" . required can be trapped and picked up, if necessary, with Longyear equipment available for that purpose. SALES . . . SERVICE . . .
