Photo shows the spaciousness of McArthur court and part of the record crowd which witnessed the fracas. Medford as the electrical scoreboard shows, led Marshfield Ford Frick To Rule On Trade Issue Scottdale, Ariz. (UPD Base ball Commissioner Ford Frick was expected to issue an offi cial ruling today on a disput ed trade between the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians. The Red Sox traded catcher Sammy White and first base man Jim Marshall to the In dians for catcher Russ Nixon last Wednesday but White promptly threw a monkey wrench into the deal by an nouncing his retirement from baseball. This caused stormy Cleve land General Manager Frank Lane to fire a hotly-worded telegram at Red Sox General Manager Bucky Harris, charg ing Harris knew all along that White would retire if the Red Sox traded him. Harris counter-fired with a message advising Lane, "your accusations are profoundly untrue." Sox Sign Nixon Harris said he signed Nix on to a Red Sox contract Mon day and, in effect, defied the Indians to get him back. "He's a Red Sox ballplayer now," said Harris. Nixon chimed in with the statement that he did not want to return to the Indians because he was annoyed at the tone of a letter Lane sent him this spring. "This is vicious," said Har ris referring to Lane's tele gram. "I didn't know how vi cious Lane could be. He's try ing to make me out a crimi nal. This is a matter for the commissioner." Harris said he expected to hear from Frick today. Lane, during a stopover in San Diego, Calif., Sunday, said "the deal's off as far as I'm concerned," He said he would send Marshall back to the Sox. It was believed that the Red Sox signed Nixon to an S18.000 contract about S3, 000 more than he was receiv ing from Cleveland. Harris indicated he would make some arrangements to make up to the Indians for I me luas ui tf line uui. meat; would not include the return I of Nixon.

One reason is that rainy weather early in the training program deprived many roo kies of a real chance to strut their stuff and another is that veterans already are tuning up to make fast starts in the pennant races. Take Monday when 39-year-old Stan Musial, 38-year-old Warren Spahn and 37-year-old Hank Bauer displayed mid-season form in pacing the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwau kee Braves and Kansas City Athletics to victories. Musial Hits Homer Musial, working like the most unheralded rookie in camp to make up for a .254 campaign in 1959, hammered out a homer and a bases-filled double as the Cardinals pounded out a 12-8 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Larry Jackson pitched no-hit ball for the Cardinals for five in nings but then Jerry Lynch connected for a grand slam homer in the sixth. Musial, who took special workouts during the winter, is enjoying one of ' the best springs of his career, and is more confident than ever that he'll make a comeback. Spahn, 21-15 last season but fighting to prove to Manager Charlie Dressen that he can work on a four-day rotation. held the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers to unearned runs in six innings as the Braves scored a 6-4 victory. Spahn's stint matched the pre vious longest stint turned in by a Milwaukee pitcher, by Carlton Willey, and he now has allowed only two runs in 11 innings this spring. Decisive Runs The Braves scored the deci- Including Parts Cost 1 46 to 39 when the final panel started and went on to top the Pirates 63 to 56 and gain the crown.

Bauer, starting a new ca reer in Kansas City after be ing with the Yankees since 1947, blasted out five hits, in cluding two doubles, against his ex-teammates to lead the Athletics to a 10-1 triumph. Norm Siebern, hitting .440 for the spring, contributed a dou ble to the Kansas City of fense.

He's Ready For Crack At Champ Houston, Tex. -(UPD Son ny Liston said today he's ready for a crack at heavy weight champion Ingemar Jo hansson and he 11 fight anyone who thinks he isn't. Liston, number two con tender behind Floyd Patter son, brightened his chances for a title shot Monday night with his second quick disposal of 10th -ranked Cleveland "Cat" Williams. The Philadelphia brawler battered Williams to the can vas twice before referee Ernie Taylor called it off after 2:13 of the second round. The fight was the feature bout of a closed circuit television broad cast to San Antonio and Dal las, where live preliminaries were held. In San Antonia, Ray Portil lia, a local boy, scored the up set of the night with a techni cal knockout over lightweight champion Joe Brown, in the sixth. It was a non-title bout. INVESTIGATION DELAYED Washington - ' (UPD ' - Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) says his subcommittee's investiga tion of boxing has been de layed by the civil rights de bate but is ready to roll "whenever the subcommittee deems it possible." Al Lopez Predicts Chicago White Sox Will Take Series (This is the first of 16 dis patches on the 1960 pros peels of the major league baseball clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Sarasota, Fla.-dJPD-Al, Lopez not only is predicting a pen nant for his Chicago White Sox this year, but a World Se ries triumph as well. He believes the winter deals whereby the club obtained Minnie Minoso and Gene Freese "is going to give us the power we lacked last season." "We had to give up some talent to get them," Lopez pointed out, "but only one of them figured in our 1960 plans. That was Bubba Phil lips and we replaced him at third with Freese. "We didn't disturb the best defense and pitching in the league to get our new talent. "That's why I'm sure we are going to win again and go on to take the World Series." Others Less Optimistic Most baseball men are not as high on the White Sox as the senor. They reason that Freese is not the fielder Phil lips is and that the team could run into pitching trouble because there are some pretty old arms on the staff. Early Wynn, who led the staff with 22 wins in 1959, is 40. Gerry Staley, the relief specialist, will be 40 during the campaign. Dick Donovan and Billy Pierce are not ex actly kids either. However, Lopez predicts that Pierce and Donovan will improve on their marks on last year when they won only 23 games between them. "1 am certain of one thing," said Lopez, "and that is that they won't wind up losing more games tiian they win like they did in 1959." Lopez also forecast that Bob Shaw, 18-6, will be a bigger winner this season and also looks for improvement in arry Lateman, 8-5. Wynn, Shaw, Pierce, Dono van and Latman will be his starters with Turk Lown join ing Staley in the bullpen. Rest of Club Set All the rest of the club is set if Ted Kluszewski can make it at first base. Klu spent the greater part of the last three years on the bench because of back trouble. But after the White Sox got him from Pittsburgh, he played in 30 games, hit .297 and was the big gun for the team in their World Series loss to Los Angeles. If Kluszewski needs help, veterans Earl Torgeson and Billy Goodman are available. That super keystone combina tion of Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio are back at the mid dle of the diamond with Freese at third. Sam Esposito and Goodman will be around to spell them if needed. - It will be Minoso in left field, the fleet Jim Landis in center and Al Smith in right. Joe Hicks, who hit .315 at In dianapolis last year, has a RVCC Host To Pro-Am Links Meet Rogue Valley Country club next Monday and Tuesday will be host for an early spring southern Oregon pro golf tournament.

Abolition Of Boxing Proposed New York - (LTD - Profes sional boxing - "the down-at-the-heels prostitute of organ ized sports" - should be abol ished on both medical and moral grounds. So states James Stewart Gordon in an original article "Abolish Professional Box ing!" in the April issue of The Reader's Digest which appears today. Citing medical testimonv that sometimes a single hard blow to the head can kill a boxer by causing massive cerebral hemorrhage, M r . Gordon points out that since World War II some 165 boxers have died of injuries suffered in the ring. Sordid Business The author calls boxing not a sport but a "sordid busi ness." designed only to yield maximum profit to the men who control the fighters, arenas and TV outlets - a monopoly known as the "Oc topus" with little regard to the fact that boxers can be permanently injured or killed. Two former welterweight champions Johnny Saxton and Johnny Bratton, both around 30, are now in mental institutions, seeking to c&ar the cobwebs from their brains. They are nothing but memor ies to those who used them during their productive years, and dropped them when their value ceased to exist, Mr. Gordon claims. As long as professional box ing is run for the express pur pose of lining the pockets of mobster bosses at the expense of battered, cheated and help less young boxers, the author feels it is time the country banned "this public butch- - Chevrolet Phone SP 2-6113 IF YOU WILL TRY HILL AND HILL JUST ONCE... we believe you will agree with the ever growing num bers of satisfied judges of good whiskey who say: "Hill and HiU 'is Kentucky Bourbon at its best and -the best buy in bourbon!"
