BEDFORD HIGH RULES AS STATE A-1 CHAMPION IN BASEBALL
Black Tornado Tips
Park rose Nine 3-1;
Triple Crown Won
By DICK JEWETT
Mail Tribune Sporti Editor
Champions will come and
champions will go. The years
ahead will be lean or pros
perous. But, the academic
year 1959-60 will be long,
long, long remembered - it
will not be forgotten - in
retrospection on Medford
High school athletic feats.
Don't spare the superla
tives. You need them all to
describe the magnificent, peer
less Black Tornado, titlisU
during this school year in
three major Oregon high
school sports.
They did it - those gifted
resolute and bold - spirited
baseball players of Medford

Park rose in Portland's Mult-
no m a h stadium Saturday
night in the state finale con
flict, the Tornadoes rule
Class A-1 banner bearers.
Their championship, added
to those claimed previously
on the gridiron and on the
maplecourt, completed the
sought for "triple crown," an
achievement which may re
main unmatched - if at all It
is equalled - for many years
to come in Oregon prepdom s
big school athletics.
Rise To Occasion
Thus was wrapped up and
recorded in the annals a most
memorable prep athletic year
for this Metropolis of the
Rogue - the greatest year an
Oregon big school has ever
known.
Tremendous talent to rise
up when the chips were down
has been a 19G0 trait of the
baseball Black Tornado. It
blazed that knack again on
Saturday as seniors Ray Kono
pasck, Mike Parsons, Calvin
and Lowell Dean, Ken Jen
sen, Jerry Anderson and
Wayne Thompson and Juniors
Bob Quinney and Dick Rags
dale - the cohorts of Coach
John Kovenz - meshed their
drills to tame the rambunc
tious bucking Parkrose Bron
chos. Medford's Class A-I mas
ters of the diamond, with
mighty-swinging Lowell Dean
touching off the blast with his
first round-tripper of the year,
roused up from a one-run defi
cit to overpower its Parkrose
foe. Then twin brother Cal
Dean and Ken Jensen sup
plied with Lowell the further

Bronchos Tally
Parkrose jumped to Its lone
marker, an unearned tally,
during its opening turn at bat.
Lynn Alkman, first Bronc to
heft a bat, lashed a scorching
line-drive double to left field.
Larry Kuhlman laid down a
sacrifice bunt. Anderson field

hard throw bounced from the
glove of second baseman

full innings against Parkrose
chucker John Mahoney's of
ferings. And, the heartened
Bronchos from the bench con
fidently were jockeying the
Medford crew,
Parkrose hopes rose further
as Cal Dean filed out and
Jensen grounded out in the
Tornado's fourth batting turn.
Then Lowell Dean severely
and abruptly deflated the op
position glee. He connected
with a long, hard high fly
that dropped over the high
left field wall and into the
stands. Dean rambled around
the bases for a tying run on
the circuit clout.
The ball dropped over the
wall between the left field
305-foot numerals and the
339 center distance, traveling
some 330 feet.
Cal Dean Triples
In the sixth inning Cal
Dean boomed a low fly
smash to left center field and
gained three bases on the
swat. Jensen whammed the
ball in the same direction
scoring Dean, and putting the
Tornado out in front. The
ball bounded off the wall and
Jensen had a double. Ho
scooted to third base on a
Mahoney wild pitch and
scored when Lowell Dean
sizzled a ground hit through
second base and Into center
field. That ended the scoring
in the game.
Medford bid for another run
in the seventh frame when
Quinney on third base and
Ragsdale on first attempted a
double steal. But Ragsdale
was nailed in a rundown be
fore Quinney could reach the
plate. Quinney had been hit
by a pitch, Konopasek had
nicely sacrificed him to sec
ond and Ragsdale had walked
to set the stage for the effort.
Big Parkrose scoring op
portunities were snuffed in
the fourth and sixth innings.
Lawry Jacoby hit a sky high
fly triple deep to center field
In the fourth. He then dashed
for home on a squeeze play
try but batter Dave Chapman
missed the ball. Jensen at
first seemed not to notice
Jacoby racing for the plate
but turned and defty tagged
the runner out.
Pitches Out of Jam
Pinch-batter Dan Kessler
In the sixth inning was drop
ped by an Anderson pitch that
hit his head but was alright to
lake his base. He was forced
out when Aikman hit to short
stop Ragsdale and second
baseman Konopasek took the
throw. Kuhlman line-singled
sharply to centcrfield. Bud
Hill plunked the ball safely
into right field. A real terrific,
sparkling throw-in by fielder
Parsons prevented a run by
keeping Aikman from ad
vancing beyond third base.
Then with the bases loaded
and just one out (the possible
winning run for the Broncs
was on base), Anderson pitch
ed himself out of a tense, for
Medford, jam. He struckout
both Jacoby and Chapman.
That left the tail end of the
order for Anderson to face in
the final inning. In that frame
Bill Hilts filed out but Monte
Stoughton livened Parkrose
chances with a single. How
ever, Anderson whiffed Dick
Sponhauer and pineh-hitter
Dave Beatley. That ended the

TORNADO'S TITLE TROPHY Medford
baseball Coach John Kovenz, left, and team
Capt. Ray Konopasek are shown with the
Oregon A-1 high school baseball champion
ship trophy which the Black Tornado won
Saturday night by defeating Parkrose 3 to 1
in Multnomah stadium at Portland. Kono
games and the Black Torna
does were the champs.
Medford got all five of Us
hits and runs off Broncho
starting tosser Mahoney, who
was relieved after being
pounded so hard by the Tor
nado in the sixth panel.
Anderson, 9-1 for the sea
son, going the route on the
hill for Medford struck out
eight batters. He issued no
bases on balls but hit one
batter. Mahoney struck out
batters six times and walked
one. Reliever Mike Seversons
allowed one base on balls, hit
a batter and struck out one
The game marked the end
of Medford high atletic ca
reers of the seven seniors who
saw duty in the championship
game and for another senior,
Pat McLaughlin, member of
the pitching staff.
Victory gave Medford a 26-1-1
record for the year. The
one loss was to a strong Kla
math Falls team which nipped
the Tornado 3 to 2. Medford
beat the Pelicans in three
other games.
Medford took a Southern
Oregon conference playoff
from Klamath 7 to 5 for the
District 6 honors. The Tor
nado beat North Eugene 5 to
2 and The Dalles 8 to 0 in
championship quarter and
semi-finals. -
Coach Jim Cay's Parkrose
crew was the underrated sur
prise aggregation of the state
A-1 playoffs. The Broncos,
champs of the Wilco league,
wilh a 14-2 record before
meeting Medford, would have
written a stirring story them
selves, had they upended the
Black Tornado. Parkrose
spilled Wilson of Portland 6
to 1 and nipped Hillsboro 9
to 4 in runoff tussles.
Bronchos Threaten
And, it looked for a con
siderable while Saturday, as
if the Broncs might outbuck
the Black Tornado.
For Anderson, the Deans,
Quinney, Barry and Ragsdale
there is the distinction of
playing on all three 1959
1900 state title teams. Kono
pasek and Jensen also were
three sport letterman for
Medford. Konopasek was on
the state title grid club and
lettered as a junior in basket
ball. Jensen won a basketball
monogram this year but was
not on the state tourney hoop
rosier.
It was actually "triple-
crown plus" during "that fab
ulous Medford year." For not
to be overlooked Is the state
tennis doubles diadem won by
Gary Cummings and John
Shaw.

Lowell Dean's Home Run
Turning Point in Tussle
The real turning point
was Lowell Dean's home run."
That was the comment of
Coach John Kovenz yesterday
as he looked back at his Med
ford High baseball team's 3 to
1 victory Saturday night in
the Oregon A-1 championship
final with Parkrose.
Kovenz described the Black
Tornado's championship a s
"simply tremendous," "some
thing great" and "still kind
6f hard to believe."
The mentor pointed out that
the players were tense and
tight in the early innings of
the combat. "When Lowell hit,
everyone seemed to relax," he
said. "They settled down and
played good ball." Kovenz
added, "It was more than scor
ing a run. It was a relaxer
for us. It was a morale lifter
for us and deflated them
(Parkrose) a bit."
The homer was Lowells
only one of the high school
season although he had 10
other extra base hits. The ball
cleared a 30 to 40-foot wall
in left field. Kovenz said that
Dean has hit five or six other
sen struck out.

Stitch Dies
Trying to
Save Friend
Louisville, Ky. - (UPD - Hard
hitting Rudell Stitch, a top-
ranking national welterweight
contender, lost hit life in the
Ohio river Sunday while try
ing to rescue a fellow fisher
man. Both the boxer and his 25-
year-old companion, Charles
L. Oliver, drowned in the
swirling water below the
Clarksville dam here. Stitch
only last year was awarded
the Carnegie hero medal for
his heroic feat in rescuing a
worker Joseph Schifccar of
the U.S. Army Corps of En
gineers, in 1958.
Stitch, ranked No. 5 by the
National Boxing association
in the welterweight division,
and Oliver had been fishing
with Stitch's manager, Edgar
Lee (Bud) Bruner and Bru
ner's 19-year-old son, Edgar
Jr., on a rock shelf below
the dam. They had decided to
quit and were heading back
to shore when the accident
occurred.
Manager Watched Accident
The elder Bruner gave this
account of the mishap:
"Rudell was leading the
way along the rock shelf over
which water flows continu
ously. Oliver was following
him and I was last. My son
had stayed on the bank. Oli
ver was leery of the rushing
water and Stitch reached back
to steady him.
"As they clasped hands,
Oliver tumbled off the shelf
into the pool below, pulling
Stitch with him. I grabbed for
them, but I missed.
"Rudell went down and
stayed down a long time. It
looked like he was trying to
get the waders off.
And then I saw them. It
looked like everything was
going to be all right for a
minute. They were both swim
ming toward shore. Then
something happened. Oliver
was struggling. He was hav
ing trouble. Stitch turned back
to help him and they both
went under. That was the last
I saw of them."
Sugar Ray

New York-IUTD-Sugar Ray
Robinson is favored at 2-1 to

of ringside sports writers that
night favored Sugar Ray, 10
