Now Open For Business Medford't Only Authorised Dealer KENNEDY'S HARLEY DAVIDSON 1110 No. Central, Medford PLAN 8A 1 CONCRETE by Liningers Chisox Up To Old Tricks, Nudge KC By 1-Run By FRED DOWN United Press International The Chicago White Sox are up to their old tricks. Victors in 35 one-run games en route to the 1959 pennant, the White Sox are defending their championship the same way they won it - by winning the close ones. And if that's the mark of a champion then their seven AL rivals are in for a long, hard summer. The White Sox made it two straight one-run victories in the new season Thursday when Ted Kluszewski's run scoring single pulled out a 6-5 11-inning win over the Kansas City Athletics. Nelson Fox, the AL's most valuable player in '59, led the White Sox' comeback from a 4-0 first-inning deficit with three singles and a double in four official trips. Fox dou bled and scored the run that tied the score at 4-4 in the 1,650-Mile Foot Race Projected Cottage Grove - Five pcrienccd runners will ex be brought together at Tijuana, Mexico on June 26 to begin one of the most unique lung distance foot races in Pacific Coast sports history. According to Al Martin, president of the newly es tablished Oregon sports cor poration, International Mara thons, the runners, one each from the states of California, Oregon and Washington, with one each from Mexico arid Canada to complete the team, will run along the California Coast as far as Crescent City, and then turn inland to fol low Highway 99 into Canada. The entire distance for the run Is over 1,650 miles. Martin reported that, "we don't think anyone has yet attempted to establish any kind of performance records over this rugged coastal and mountain route, and it should be tried soon." As additional motives for the run Martin cited efforts to stimulate pub lic interest in Pacific Coast sports, and provide a basis for specialized programs of phy siological research on athletes. Endurance flecord The high point of the entire run will be an attempt by the five runner team to break the existing non-stop endurance record of 127 miles in 22 hours, 45 minutes made in 1929. The 19(10 run will begin at the outskirts of Seattle, Wash., and cover a course of 133 miles to Vancouver, B.C., with an assualt upon the time record a primary goal of the runners. To emulate the ancient tra dition of the early Greek couriers, and attempt still an other feat never before ac complished, the runners will carry a limited number of pieces of philatelic mail over the route in pre-determined schedules of approximately 38 pickups, for an average carry of 40 miles per day. The entire event takes 39 days to complete. The run Is presently sched uled to begin at Tijuana on June 27, and will bo com pleted upon arrival in Van couver on August 12. The or ganization is now completing nearly tnree months or pre liminary planning and is cur rently seeking Interested sponsors for their event. ATLANTIC EDITOR DIES Washington - wro - Ellcry Sedgwick, 80, editor of the Atlantic Monthly magazine for 3(1 years, died Thursday. ON BUILDING: A Milking Parlor? A Business Building? A Sidewalk? A House? A Patio? PLAN Phone SP 3-7555 Margin fourth inning, delivered a sac rifice fly that tied it again, at 5-5, in the sixth and then sin gled to set up the winning run in the 11th. Fox, batting .500 after two games, led off the 11th with a single and moved to second when Minnie Minoso walked. Kluszewski then delivered a line single down the right field line to chase in Nellie with the decisive tally. Staley The Winner Gerry Staley, who shut out the Athletics with one hit over the last five innings, received credit for his first win. Bob Shaw, an 18-game winner last season, started for the Sox but was bombed for four runs and eight hits in 3 2-3 innings. Re lief pitcher Ken Johnson was Kansas City's loser. The New York Yankees downed the Boston Red Sox, 4-0, and the Washington Sena tors nipped the Baltimore Ori oles, 6-5, in the other Amcr ican league games while the Milwaukee Braves tripped the Cincinnati Reds, 2-0, and the Pittsburgh pirates ripped the Philadelphia Phillies, 11-5, in the only National league ac tivity. Rookie Johnny G abler pitched three-hit ball for sev en innings and fireball relief specialist Ryne Duren fin ished up for the Yankees, who won their opening series, two games to one. Bill Skowron and Gil McDougald homered and Roger Maris had two hits for the Yankees. Ted Williams was out of the Red Sox' line up for the second straight game. Rookie's Homer Wins Rookie Dan Debbek's three run homer with two out in the ninth gave the Senators their third win in four games and provided Chuck Slobbs with his first victory of the season.

MEDPOMiVSTUBimi SIPODIKTS THOUGHTFUL BOXERS Challenger Floyd Patterson, left, and heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson appeared thoughtful yesterday as they met in New York to sign con tracts for a June 20 return title fight. In their first meeting last June, Johansson took the crown from Patterson with a third round technical knockout. (UP1 Telcphoto) Portland Winner; Tacomans At Last Get Weather Break By PETE COLEMAN United Press International Tacoma finally overcame the weatherman last night and got back into Pacific Coast league action after a four-day absence. The best the Giants could do was halve a double header with Vancouver, winning the opener, 6-2, and losing the nightcap, 9-4, but they prob ably were delirious with joy just for the chance to play. Rain had kept them on the sidelines Sunday through Wednesday. Elsewhere Thursday night, Portland got another home run from heavy hitting George Freese while downing Sacra mento, 5-2. Salt Lake rang the bell five times in the eighth to come from behind and dump Seattle, 9-7, and San Diego used a six-run, sixth-inning splurge to sink Spokane, 7-4. Tacoma's Curt Barclay fashioned a neat three-hitter as the Giants took the opener. He had trouble only in the sixth inning when the Moun- tics scored both their runs, Early Wrap Up The Giants wrapped it up early with a five - run first frame rally highlighted by doubles off the bats of Danny O Connell and Matty Alou. Vancouver look the second game with two tallies in the top of the ninth on singles by Saperstein Organizes New Loop By GENE BLUDEAU Chicago -IUPII- Abe Saper stein said today his new American Basketball league will bring the game back to the litle guy. "Our rules will be a lot dif ferent than the National Bas ketball association's where it is a game of towering giants and towering scores," Saper stein said. "We will devise rules to re turn defense to basketball and make it a game for the little guy as well the the big guy," he said. Saperstein, millionaire own er of the Harlem Globe Trot ters, announced the birth of the six-city ABL after a closed meeting Thursday. Saperstein was named acting president and part owner of the San Francisco franchise. Franchises Franchises were awarded to Sun Francisco, Chicago. Los Angeles, Kansas City, Wash ington, D.C., and Cleveland. They will organize teams for the league's start this fall, he said. Four other cities Pitts burgh, Vancouver, Portland, Ore., and Honolulu, Hawaii also applied for franchises and will probably be admitted for the 1961-62 season, Saper stein said. He said players will be dis tributed from a league pool consisting of college cage stars and possibly some from the National Industrial Basketball league. Doug Vaillant, Matthews Vie Miami Boach -OiPIt- Fourth ranked lightweight Len Mat thews and Cuban lightweight champ Douglas Vaillant meet tonight in a 10-round fight which matches two rising and talented youngsters. The bout will be telecast nationally starting at 7 p.m. (P.S.T.). Vaillant. 22-year-old na tive of Santiago, Cuba, is un ranked but striving to dupli cate the success of his half brother, Luis Rodriguez. Rod riguez is the world's top ranked welterweight. ' T si itft Joe Staniland and Charlie White, an error, a walk and a sacrifice fly. Bobby Balcena hit a bases empty homer for the Mounties in the first in ning. Phil Paine, the third of four Vancouver pitchers, hurled two scoreless innings to take his first win of the season. San Diego, gaining an even split in the four game series, came up with hits when they were needed to keep the sixth inning rally alive. Grover Jones tripled in two of six runs and Camilo Carreon, a pinch hitter, accounted for two more with a single. Spokane got one run in the first inning when Charlie Smith doubled behind Earl Robinson's walk and two in the third on two free passes, two singles and a sacrifice fly. Frank Howard homered in the ninth for the final In dian tally. All The Way Portland, with Freese hit ting his fifth homer of the season with Bill Causion aboard in the first inning, led the Solons all the way. The Beavers added one run in the fifth inning, and after Sacramento plated two in the sixth, got a pair in the sev enth on two walks, a sacrifice and an infield pinch hit. Winning pitcher Lynn Lov enguth, notching his second victory, gave up eight hits but had trouble only in the sixth. Salt Lake, down for seven and a half innings, came to life in the last of the eighth to stage the big rally. Four singles, a double by Harry Bright, a pair of walks and a Seattle error made up the outburst that got the Bees their second win of the sea son. Jim Baumer hit a solo hom er for Salt Lake in the third frame, but R. C. Stevens was the batting hero with two singles, a double, and three runs scored. Go'rdy Coleman wielded the big stick for Seat tle, getting three safeties, in cluding a double and a triple. I.INKsroRV- Spokane 001 200 001 4 1 San DIoro . 000 OOH lox 7 12 2 Harris, O'Donntll 6.

Johansson, Patterson Signed Up By CONNIE RYAN New York - tUPD - Ingemar Johansson flew back to Eu rope Thursday night after signing for the fight Floyd Patterson feared he would not get. Johansson, who won the world heavyweight title from Patterson last June 26, sign ed to give Floyd a chance to become the first man ever to regain that title. The bout, which may draw a million dollars at the gate alone, will be held on Monday June 20 at the Polo Grounds. "It's a great relief to me to have signed," Floyd said. "I was worried I would not get the fight. I thought may be the International Boxing Club would put Archie Moore in there with Johansson." He need not have worried. Ingo had insisted for nine months he would fight no one before Floyd, and in no place but New York, and he meant it. "It took a lot of time to arrange this fight and to be sure of the contracts and the terms, but now it is done and I am satisfied," said Johans son before he took off on a flight to Paris. He was en route to Geneva, Switzerland, where he maintains a home and where he has been in moderately heavy training. With final approval by the New York State Athletic commission and the subse quent formal signing, the new promotional group, Fea ture Sports Inc., plunged full speed ahead today. It order ed the printing of tickets, which will sell for $10 to $100, and said its press head quarters will open next Mon day in the Commodore hotel. Fishermen Ready for Big Assault Portland - IUPD - Thousands of Oregon trout fishermen readied today for an assault on open streams and lakes Saturday and the weatherman indicated it would be cool, but fair. Sunny skies were forecast for most of the state but nighttime temperatures again will be low and chances are that it'll be below freezing in many spots when anglers start their quest for trout at day break. Inland rivers and streams, many interior lakes, and all coastal lakes open Saturday. High mountain lakes don't open until May 21 with Coast streams opening May 28. Ump qua and Willamette river drainages and streams in the Rogue basin also don't open until May 28. Albany - New York has the oldest unbroken state forest administration in the U. S.

Medford mentor Eight Football Games Slated At Multnomah Portland - Multnomah Sta dium hopes its turnstiles will click more than 200,000 times for the eight football games it has slated this year, it was announced today by Manager Harry Glickman in releasing the lflfiO schedule. "This is one of the most at tractive schedule of games put together for Portland and should easily average more than 25.000 fans a game," Glickman ventured. Arranging the schedule was his last official duty as man ager of the stadium, for he leaves May 1 to become gen eral manager of the Portland Hockey club, which enters the Western Hockey league next season upon the comple tion of the Memorial Coli seum. The football season starts with the 13th annual Shrine hospital all-star game Aug. 13 and follows with a profession al encounter Sept. 3 between the Cleveland Browns and San Francisco 49crs.

O 'K&V----' s.v:lH.TIr A If . .A -- Saturday Dean Benson reported that his squad has oeen troubled by a rash of shin splints and a couple of athletes have been sisk off and on during the week. Other than that, Ben son reported, the Black Tor nado is in pretty good shape. Sickess may cut the Crater entry well below tne nopea for 40. Coach Ed Knapp re ported a seige of sore throats and flu. He said he would not know until this afternoon just how large his traveling squad will be. Grants Pass has won the meet for the past two years. Medford was winner the last time in 1957. It will be the frist Tornado competition of the season on a strictly indi vidual basis. Burelson, Eugene Race Rivals Eugene -IUPD- One of the na tion's top mile races is in pros pect Saturday between Dyrol Burleson of Oregon and Ernie Cunliffe of Stanford, if the weather man cooperates. Burleson, a lanky lad from Cottage Grove, Ore., is ranked as America's top 1,500-meter hopeful for the ' Olympic games. Cunliffe, a stocky 880-man who started running the mile to build up his endurance, has proved the surprise of the dis tance world this spring. His 4:02.3 mile is the best in the country so far this year. Their race highlights the Oregon-Stanford dual track meet here. Bill Bowerman, the Oregon coach, says a four-minute mile isn't beyond the range of pos sibility. "A lot depends on the conditions." The weather man has fore cast fair skies for Saturday. Last Effort Poor Burleson's last effort, against Washington, was poor as far as time goes, a little over 4:16. But the 20-year-old sophomore doesn't run for speed, he runs to win. And win, he has, in all but two of his mile races. Teammate Jim Grelle edged him here last year but Burley came back to more than even that score. And Jim Beatty nipped him at the tape in the Baxter mile in New York last winter. Cunliffe, a 5-11, 165-pound-er from Claremount, Calif., ended last season as the coun try's best collegiate half miler. In international competition, top runners managed to catch him in the stretch. So this year Coach Payton Jordan picked the mile for a place for FOUR PROS KNOT New Orleans - IUPD -The scramble for first place re sumed today in the $27,000 Greater New Orleans Open after four pros deadlocked with five-under-par 67s over the first 18 holes. J. C. Goosie of Knoxville, Tenn., Jackson Bradley of Houston, Tex., Li onel Hebcrt of Lafayette, La., and Houston LaClair of Bir mingham, Ala., all shot open ing round 67s. I60 Roseburg To Play in RV League Roseburg, out of southern Oregon semi-pro baseball for several years, will return for the 1960 season, it has been announced. The team, to be comprised mostly of former American Legion junion play ers, will be managed by Mickey Coen, former coast league pitcher. Coen holds the Rogue Val ley league strikeout record, set last year when he pitched for Riddle. He also led the league in the most victories. Other teams making up the circuit are Crescent City, Calif.. Grants Pass, Ashland and Medford Bowling lanes. An effort will be made to ob tain a sixth team to round out the schedule, it was stated. League play starts on May 29. Cunliffe Cunliffe to build up his strength. It worked. Cunliffe chopped some time off his best 880 mark with a 1:47.3, and in the process bet tered his previous mile time by nine seconds. Cunliffe likes to get in front and stay there, fighting off challengers at the finish. Burleson stays off the pace and uses a tremendous finish ing kick in the final 330 yards to win.
