The Dall es nicked Albany 4 to 3 Fri day in an eight-frame elimi nation scrap. Medford sluggers bludgeon ed out nine hits in the quarter final but only two of them figured in production of Tor nado tallies. Run Drouth Ends Singles by Ray Konopasek and Bob Quinney's base on balls, an error on a Herb Wheeler sacrifice bunt and a dropped - liner miscus gained for the Tornado a pair of fourth inning scores and end ed a run-drouth in the game, Only one hit was needed in Medford's (hree-coun(er six(h Two bases on balls, two hit bailors and one error helped the runs across. The hit was by Quinney, who during the afternoon crossed for two Tor nado markers and was the winning pitcher in relief. Starting pitcher Wheeler and his fielder mates held North Eugene at bay for four full innings. Only Bry Lake in this time got on base for the Highlanders - both times on errors. On the first oc casion a catcher Ken Jensen throw caught the runner off of base. In the fifth inning Bob Bruns drew a walk from Wheeler and swiped second base. With two out Bob Gar nero blooped the ball into right center field for a safety and Bruns, running on the swat, scored on this first of two hits that the Highlanders were able to manage in the tilt. Wheeler then walked pineli-biilter Dick Kirtley and Medford mentor called Quin- nev from led field to the hill A Konopasek error loaded up the bases. Then Quinney, not vet warmed to the task, issued a free pass to Tom Fryback, (orcing another run home Hope Vanishes Quinney, over the rest of the route, gave up one hit and allowed another walk. These permitted two runners on base in the sixth inning with one away. Hut. Qtiinnev whiffed the next two men he faced. With two tnit in the seventh, North Kucciie hopes briefly rose when. Konopasek and first baseman Lowell Dean cot their siunals crossed and Hay dropped Kryback's fly back of first. However, Lake (aimed to end the game.

Oaf a battle today al WESTIIN THRIFT and the successive hits by Quinney and Konopasek per mitted Parsons to score. Wheeler was safe at first on pitcher Fred Carlson' bad throw on a bunted ball. Then Cal Dean lined to John Wehr, the second baseman. Wehr dropped the ball but Wheeler was caught off base and Konopasek tagged in a run down. Before the double play was complete, however, Quin ney had scored for Medford. Medford, which left 11 men stranded on the bases, had the bags filled with one out in the fifth canto on walks to Dick Ragsdale and Lowell Dean and a hit by Jerry Anderson, Parsons knocked the ball to relief hurler Ron McLaughlin and Ragsdale was out at the plate. On the relay to first base, Parsons, obviously was Indianapolis Race Called Wide-Open United Praia International Indianapolis - A wide-open battle for auto racing's richest jackpot loomed today, with a rookie from California chal lenging a fast field of veterans in the 500-mile Memorial Day classic. At least half a dozen ex perienced drivers of the brickyard," including defend ing champion Roger Ward and former winner Jimmy Bryan, were among the top favorites tor a pot of gold estimated to approach a record $350,000. But the speed demon to watch will be newcomer Jim Hurtubise, a 27-year-old ex- Coast Guardsman from Len nox, Calif., who became the speedway's latest hero a week ago when he hurled his lavender-colored roadster around the 2'4 mile race course at an average speed of more than 149 miles per hour. Hurtubise will start in the middle of the eight of 1 1 rows Monday when the 33 pilots gun their racers down the home stretch for the flying start at noon, (EDT). He can't make a solid bid for the lead until traffic in front of him thins out, but most veteran drivers and me chanics expected the rookie to be battling for first place before the half-way mark -provided his car hangs togeth er. "We'll try to average speeds of 143-144 mph," said former "500" driver Danny Oakes, who will call sjgnals for Hur tubise from the pits. "By the time we make our first stop, we should be among the first eight. By the second stop, we should be still closer to the lead." Jim Rathmann, a three-time runner-up and like Ward in a new machine built by A. J Watson, pole-sitter Eddie Sachs, Johnny Thomson and two-time national driving champion Tony Bettenhausen were the other top contenders. 'a ? safe a mile but umpire Chuck Stalzic thumbed him out. Wheeler and Quinney com bining for a two-hitter after noon, each struck out five bat ters. Quinney and Konopasek with two hits each were the only players with more than one safe blow. The Medford ites hit with power but the soggy, soft ground was a fac tor in preventing raps for ex tra bases. Against the Tornadoes, the Highlanders were able to smack only four fair balls which were out of outfielder range. In addition to their hits, the Medford players, on six walks and two hit batters, had eight free passes to the bases. Cal Dean, at third base for Medford, came up with the day's fielding gem. He made a divihg stop of a ball hard hit by Bob Baker and re covered in time for a long throw to put Baker out at first. The Medford squad donned uniforms at North high school and held batting practice and limbered there before driving the considerable distance to Bethel field, home of the pro Eugene Emeralds. 24th Victory Medford now owns a 24- win, one-loss, one tie record. North Eugene finished its 1 season with 17 victories, five defeats and a tie. The Tornado was District 6 champion and the Highlanders won in Dis trict 5. The Dalles is the District 7 titlist and advanced by beat ing the champ of District 8. Medford Coach John Ko venz has indicated that An derson may pitch against the Indians. The Dalles' choice of mentor Noel Aronson likely will be among Ralph Sallce, Tom Taylor and Jerry Wage man. BOX: Medford AB R II PO A K C. Dean. 3b 5 1 0 Ragsdale, ai 2 1 Jensen, c 3 0 L.
