o o o MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. THURSDAY, JUNE 16. 1960 o New York Knots Cleveland For Loop Lead When Tribe Splits Ml With Orioles By FRED DOWN Uniled Press International That treadmill American League race reached the "Can you top this?" point today when the New York Yankees advanced Into a first-place deadlock on the strength (it a tie. It was a long, hard road (or the Yankees, who hadn't owned a share of the AL lead since the early days of the 1959 season and it ended on a slightly ridiculous note when the umpires finally threw up their hands at 2:32 a.m. (e.d.t.) this morning and declared a 7-7 tic between New York and the Kansas City Athletics. The Yankees had twice let the Athletics stage three-run rallies to tie, once in the ninth and once in the 12th, and then in 13th the rain came in sharp, slanting pelts. The umps looked at the weary athletes and managers in both dugouts and mercifully said, "Let's all go home." Yanks Tie Indians As a result, the Yankees' 29-21 season record tied them with the Cleveland Indians, who split a twi-night double- header with the Baltimore Orioles, winning 10-2 and losing 13-5. Both the Yankees and Indians have .580 per centages and the Orioles are practically glued to their backs with a .579 mark. The Chicago White Sox whipped the Washington Senators, 6-4. and the Boston Bed Sox puller1 out a ll)-in ning, 4-3 triumph over the Detroit Tigers in the other AL games. The Pittsburgh Piartes in creased their National League lend to three games with a 14-6 win over the San Fran cisco Giants; the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, 6-0; the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Philadel phia PhiJlis, l4-?, -id Chicago Cubs won, 8-5, after losing to i h e ui'i,. Braves, 5-4, in' a twi-night doublehender. Perry Wins Sovenih Yogi Berra and Clctus Buy er hit homers and Roger Ma ris had four hits for the Yan kees while Jerry Lunipe and Pete Daley homered for the Athletics. Jim Perry won his seventh game with the help of two homers by Johnny Romano and one by Woodie Held but I the Orioles staged an eight-1 N'a'ionai League .l-mlj - . u . ., PltUhtirKh . (MI4 iuii, ciKiiui-iiiuiUK runy ill inu second game to split with the Indians. Roy Sievers hit two two run homers, the second to snap a 4-4 eighth-inning tie as the While Sox dealt Pedra Ramos his eighth loss. Gerry Staley picked up his seventh win by shutting out the Sen ators for the last three in nings. Pirates Blast Giants The Pirates blasted six San Francisco pitchers for 19 hits. including six doubles and two triples, to make it easy for Harvey Haddix to win his fourth game. Ray Sadecki pitched a three-hitter and Curt Flood drove in four runs with two homers for the Cardinals, who tagged Joe Nuxhall with his third defeat. Duke Snider and Don De meter homered to lead a 1(1 hit Los Angeles attack that enabled Sandy Koufax to snap his four-game losing streak with a five-hitler. Al Spangler's sin,re drove in the winning run for the Braves In the ninth inning of their opener but the Cubs came up with a six-run eight inning rally in the second game to earn a split. Ed Mathews hit two homers and Frank Thomas, Wes Coving ton and Ed Bouchce one each during the long doublcheader. Uh .

That's the question Manager Bill Rigney of the San Fran cisco Giants pondered today. In two games the Pirates have clobbered his star mound staff for 20 runs and 27 hits in win ning the first two tilts of the the three-game series. "Don't know what we're going to do," said Rigney aft er Wednesday's 14-6 massacre. ifj El & o a Ei Central Point Recreation Program Starts June 27 Central Point-Central Point summer recreation program officially will get under way on Monday, June 27, with the registration of the little league baseballcrs at the Cra ter High school field at 8 a.m. The program will be set up for youngsters 6-15 years of age and will feature such events as baseball, Softball, swimming, tournaments, arts and crafts, free play events, basketball, football and baton lessons.

The Giants now trail the leaders by three games. The Pirates teed off on starter Billy O'Dell Wednes day for four runs in the third inning and drove him to cov er in the fifth with another tally. But that was nothing com pared with what they did to Joe Shipley, Stu Miller, George Maranda and Bud cyeriy. BUI Loes, who was in there for only two-thirds of an inning, escaped without damage. The Giants did a bit of hit ting themselves Wednesday, getting 12 safe blows, com pared with 19 for Pittsburgh. But the Pirates clustered theirs. They put together four hits for four runs in the third; got five runs off five hits in the seventh. Harvey Haddix, the win ning pitcher for the Pirates, took it easy on the mount but he was a tiger at the plate with a bloop double, two in field scratches and one solid hit for 4x5 for the day.

The 2 to 0 victory over the Central Point Cheney Studs gave Klamath undisputed leadership in the southern division Of Area 4. Central Point will try to bolster its now second place position at Cheney diamond here on Friday evening. The Sluds tussle Medford at 8 p.m. Klamath's crew got just ! four hits in the game but bunched two of them with two bases on balls and a CP error in the opening canto to manufacture its markers. Don Willey and Rich DePew were the hitters. Studs runners reached third base on two occasions and second sack in three other in nings but teammates could n't muster the punch to get them across. Wally Palmbcrg, Klamath pitcher who fanned batters 14 times, allowed CP three hits but no more than one per inning. First Cheney safety was Pat Pepper's bad hop single down the third base line. Steve Harris sin gled in the sixth inning and Mike Glines doubled in the seventh, Henry Hcrrera and Palm i berg were the other hitters for ! KF. Slow -balling Doug Pfaff was effective in relief for the I Studs. He came in with no one out and two men on base in the second inning and al lowed just two hits over the rest of the route. After one out in the second, he gave up one hit to load the bases but force-outs retired the side. Er rors were the main bugaboo after that. The Studs got Glines to third In the first inning on an error, stolen base and wild pitch nnd to the hot corner again in the third canto on a base on balls, error and steal. Leftfielder Don Gresdel's fine snare of a hard sock by Brad Getlling prevented a Cheney tally in the sixth stanza. Pfaff had been placed on base when hit by a pitch and Sieve Har ris followed Gettling's smash with a single. All St'id outs were on strikeouts in the first, third, fifth and seventh innings. Palmbcrg walked three and hit two batters. Bill Ai.hnrn, Stud hill starter, allowed two hits and walked two. He fan ned three. Pfaff struck out three. He hit one batter but issued no bases on balls. Central Point's p 1 1 r h c r -catcher combination against Medford will be Bill Anhorn and Ed Allen or Brad Settling and Jeff Anhorn. Medford may have Herb Wheeler on the hill with Jim Barry receiving.

PETERSEN UPI Sporti Editor Denver - H'PD - They teed off in the "big one" today and the betting was that when the firing ends around sun down on Saturday the new 1960 U.S. Open golf champion will be brawny Arnold Palm er. He was the 4 to 1 betting choice in the field of 150 golf ers who are trying for the biggest title in their business. That betting favoritism is about as close as you can come to being an odds on choice in a field of stars. Rated next to the Masters champion in the betting odds were former PGA king Dow Finsterwald, Gene Littler, who has been the hottest play er on the tour for the past six weeks, and Ken Venturi. All were quoted at 6 to 1. Sentiment Favors Hogan At 8 to 1 came one of the sentimental favorites, Ben Hogan. He was grouped at those odds with Art Wall, who seems to be back on his game after a siege of illness. Sam S n e a d, another sentimental Rogue Streams Said Dropping Portland -HIPII- The weekly report on fishing conditions prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: Trout fishing fair in Coos and Coquille sys tems; striped bass fishing poor in Coos bay, but shad fishing excellent; Winchester bay slow for salmon. Rogue and major tributar ies dropping. Trout fishing should im prove in headwater portions of Applegate and Illinois riv ers; trout angling in North Umpqua system between Win chester and Boulder creek good to excellent; fishing on lower Rogue and on the lakes and streams surrounding is very slow. choice who never has won this biggest of all golf titles, was quoted at 10 to 1. First off the tee at the 7,004 yard par 35-36-71 Cherry Hills Country club course In mile-high Denver was Jack L. Koennecker of Prairie View, 111., Richard Stranahan of Ala meda, Calif., and Don Bies of Seattle, Wash. Eight former Open cham pions are in the field, which also includes a strong foreign contingent led by Gary Play er, British Open champion from South America, and a better than usual amateur group led by 20-year-old Jack Nicklaus of Columbus, Ohio," the U.S. Amateur king. erDisfilled SOUR MASH KENTUCKY BOURBON in mi iiiim mm ftM jaaW $580 4s qt, Bam ED B 0. f KtNDESSOH CO., IDUISVIIlf.
