Newspaper Page TextMONDAY, AUGUST 29. I960 2 b MEDFORD MATL TRTBTOE, MEDTOTO, ORE. Week End Miserable Near Perfect for NY, for Pittsburgh Bucs By MILTON RICHMAN ' United Press International , - It was a near-perfect week end for Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees, but a per fectly miserable one for Dan ny M u r t a u g h of the Pitts burgh Pirates. Off-hand, you wouldn't be able to tell by the standings because the Yankees lead the American league by only two games while the Pirates top the National by 5Vi. Never theless, Stengel is cheering and Murtaugh is fretting. .The reason for Casey's joy is that the Yankees came through a back-breaking week end of three straight double headers in pennant-winning tyle. They swept a swin-bill with Cleveland Friday, did it again on Saturday and split with Detroit Sunday. The Ti gers won the opener, 6-2, but the Yankees took the night cap, 8-5. As far as the Pirates were concerned, it was a lost week end all around. They not only lost to the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday also, 5-4, and now own a four-game losing streak. Charley Dressen, Milwau kee's eternal optimist, says "Somebody is waiting to over take Pittsburgh and it could be us." But his optimism is hard to understand in the face of San Francisco's 15-2 victory over Milwaukee yesterday. The defeat left the Braves 5 Vi games out in a virtual tie with the Cards. The Cincin nati Reds downed the Los An geles Dodgers, 0-3, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Phila delphia Phillies, 8-6, in the other NL games. The Baltimore Orioles gain- ed with his 14th. Al Kaline of ed a half-game in their bid the Tigers collected six hits for the AL lead with a 3-1 in seven trips during the dou win over the Chicago White ble dip. Sox, the Indians snapped a The Orioles victory over five-game losing streak with the White Sox was marked a 9-1 triumph over the Wash- i by a wild rhubarb in the ington Senators, and tne cos ton Red Sox swept a double header from the Kansas City Athletics, 2-1. and 5-4. Couldn't Catch Up Errors by Tony Kubek and losing pitcher Eli Grba in the first inning of the opener helped the Tigers to five un earned runs and the Yankees were never able to catch up. Frank Boiling hit a three-run homer to spark the five-run rally and Rocky Colavito fol lowed with his 26th of the season. Don Mossi won his ninth game although he pitch ed only five innings. A barrage of lour Yankee homers helped Art Ditmar score his 14th win in the nightcap. Dale Long hit his first homer as a Yankee in the second inning and John Blan chard also connected in the same frame. Mickey Mantle belted his 31st homer in the fifth and Yogi Bcrra follow- eightb inning when an appar ent three-run homer by pinch hitter Ted Kluszewski was nullified because umpire Ed Hurley had called time. Giv en another chance to bat, Big Klu flied out. Milt Pappas won his 12th game although Hoyt Wilhelm came in to put down a ninth inning uprising. The Orioles got to Early Wynn for two runs in the second inning on a walk, two singles and a sac rifice fly, then added another in the fifth. Sparked by Homers Home runs by Jim Piersall, Tito Francona and Vic Power sparked the Indians to their victory over the Senators. Barry Latman won his third game with help from Johnny Klippstein. Tex Clevenger was the loser. Power drove in four of Cleveland's runs with three hits.

CAR SAFETY HEADQUARTERS 214 South Riverside Ave. Phone SP 2-7119 Medford Medford High school's foot ball squad turned its attention to defense today after stress ing offense in the first work outs of the season. Coach Fred Spiegelberg in dicated that the first work on defense would be drill of in dividual nature. A scrimmage is planned Wednesday. "We have a little speed, I hope," the head mentor stated in assessing the first four days of practice. He then declared, 'There is pretty good team speed and lots of hustle." This year's squad appears quite a bit lighter overall than last season s state champion crew. It seems, according to Spiegelberg, that there is no player over 200 pounds. No official weigh-in has been con ducted, however. The workouts started this year with most of the aspi rants in good physical shape. Spiegelberg was happy about the weather, which has been cooler than at the start of practice in most seasons. Funston, Monro Moved The coach has reported a couple of major position switches. They involve a pair of senior lettermen, Al Fun ston and Mike Monroe. Fun ston, a fullback, who lettered as a sophomore and was out because of injury last season, has been shifted to guard on offense. He will remain on de fense at linebacker where he was a stellar performer. Mon roe is being moved from quarterback to guard. Another senior monogram man, Jim Barry, has been switched from right to left half. Mike McCullough, jun ior letterman, has been shift ed from left to right half. Unless the sophs and jun iors come along strong this season. Spiegelberg faces a big rebuilding job for 1961. Twenty-seven of his 31 letter men are seniors. Senior Letlermen In addition to Funston, Monroe and Barry, they are Kent Blew, Phil Humphreys and Mike Hood, halfbacks: Bruce Bray, Larry Hammack. Bob Quinney, John Hamlin. John Tichcnor and Jerry Winctrout. ends; Larry Brown, Terry Earl, Bill Hobbs and John Pierce, -guards; Bill Charley, fullback and half back: Rich Connolly, John James. Terry O'Sullivan and Chuck Shaw, tackles; Chuck Holt, Warren Parke, and Don Tichenor, centers; Dick Rags dale and Jim Stever, quarter backs, and Dan Sieg, full back. Junior letter holders other than McCullough, are Paul Bauer, center; George Clear water, fullback, and Monte Jones, tackle. There are a couple of trans fer lettermen on the squad. Jim Finnell. 175-pound senior guard from Miami, Fla., Tom Ross, 185-pound junior full back, from North Dakota. Spiegelberg said that Sam Knutson, about 185, is looking good at tackle. Don Buddin's squeeze bunt gave Boston its two runs in the opener as Big Frank Sul livan pitched a five-hitter for his fifth victory. Reliever Mike Fornieles singled home the winning run in the eighth inning of the nightcap to re cord his ninth victory against three defeats. Dick Hall and Ken Johnson were the losing pitchers. Joe Cunningham's sacrifice fly capped a three-run rally in the fourth inning and prov ed to be the winning run for the Cards against the Pirates. Cunningham and Hal Smith each drove in two runs for the Cardinals while Alex Grammas contributed a hom er and three s i n g 1 es. Curt Simmons won his fifth game although he yielded to Lindy McDaniel in the seventh. Har vey Haddix was the loser. Had 17 Hits The Giants poured it on with 17 hits against the Braves, including a two-run homer by Willie Kirkland. San Francisco chased loser Bob Buhl with a six-run ral ly in the fourth. Jack Sanford singled home two runs during the uprising and went on to hurl a s e v e n-hitter for his 11th triumph. Cincinnati scored all nine of its runs in the first inning against Los Angeles and Bob Purkey breezed to his 14th victory with a six-hitter. Ed Bailey and rookie Gordon Coleman each homered in the first inning off loser Stan Wil liams and Roy McMillan hit a three-run homer in the same frame off reliever Ed Roe buck. It was Purkey's fourth straight victory over the Dodgers without a loss to them this season. Ernie Banks drove in three runs for the Cubs against the Phillies to increase his season total to 103, tops in the ma jors. Banks drove in one run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and doubled across two more in the sixth when the Cubs chased loser Gene Conley and clinched the outcome with a five-run rally. Don Cardwell went 7 2-3 in nings for his sixth victory. LINESCORES: Amerlcsn League (lit came) Kansas City 000 001 000 1 3 0 Boston ooo 100 lOx 2 8 1 Hall 7-10 and Kravitz F Sul livan 5-14 and Nixon.

Giants Bash Milwaukee Braves 15-2 By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco - !UM - Man ager Tom Sheehan, discover ing that life can be beautiful even if his San Francisco Gi ants have a tight grip on fifth place, will dispatch left-hand-to the hill against the Phila delphia Phillies tonight when the Giants go after their third straight.

"Wasn t that easy? boss Tom thundered in the dress ing room Sunday after the Giants had sand-bagged the second place Milwaukee I Braves by a score of 15-2. Nothing to it! The lop - sided slugfest, which saw Jack Sanford even his season record at 11-11, followed a 3-1 Saturday tri umph over the Braves behind the three-hit hurling of Stu Miller. San Francisco bested Milwaukee two out of three in the series and closed out a Candlestick park record of 7-4 against them for the year. Three Milwaukee pitchers were raked for 17 hits with Orlando Cepeda driving in three runs and cracking three singles. Sanford also crashed the RBI column, singling I across a brace of runs during an outburst in tne tourin in ning which found the Giants scoring six times.
