New York - (UPD - It won''
be four straight like in 1921,
but the New York Yankees
began thinking in terms of
five today, now that they
again are looking like old
"Murderer's Row."
They are only even with
the Pittsburgh Pirates going
into tomorrow's third game
of the 1060 World Series. But
the way that they evened the
count at 1-1 Thursday when
they bombed the Pirates, 16-3,
at Forbes Field, put them
back solidly in the favorites
role.
The bookies quoted them
B'Ai to 5 to win the Series
chiefly on the strength of the
manner in which they hu
miliated the Pirates.
Furthermore, they,, were
7Vi to 5 choices to beat' the
Pirates in the third game at
Yankee Stadium Saturday
with Whitey Ford going
against Wilmer (Vinegar
Bend) Mizell. Both are left
handers and Yankee Stadium
is supposed to be a pitching
paradise for southpawsi
It has "been for Ford, although-
his record this year
was only ' 12-0. But he has
been the Yankee clutch pitch
er for years,, especially in
the Stadium.
Mizell, a fast-baller, had a
14-8 record. Thirteen of those
wins came after the Pirates
obtained him from the St.
Louis Cardinals in May. But
hp never has pitched' in Yan
kee Stadium where late after
noon shadows become a prob
lem, espcially for the left
fielders.
Because he has heard so
much about those shadows,
Manager Danny Murtaugh,
whose Pirates flew here
Thursday night, ordered a
1:30 p.m. EDT workout today.
"I want my players to see
the stadium as close to game
conditions as possible, Mur
taugh explained, adding that
his boys would do all right,
"shadows or not."

NY Fielders Stop Most
Hard Hit Balls of Turley
(Editor's notei Bob Tur
ley drew the New York
Yankees even In the World
Series Thursday when he
was credited with their 16
3 victory over the Pitts
burgh Pirates. He gives his
impressions of the game in
the following dispatch.
By BOB TURLEY
Written For UPI
Pittsburgh (UPD I've pitch
ed better games but I can't
remember when I enjoyed
one more.
Those 16 runs were the most
(he Yankees got for me since
1058 when I beat - or rather
we beat - the Detroit Tigers,
15-2.
Ask any pitcher you meet
and I think he'll tell you he'd
rather work in a game like
yesterday's than maybe even
a no-hitter. It's certainly a
wonderful feeling to sit back
there In the dugout and watch
the score mount up. For your
side, of course. It can be a
pretty rough proposition when
you're sitting on the other
side.
Funny thing,, but most of
the balls the Pirates hit hard
off ml were caught; a lot of
RESTORED TO
starter in left, or Bob Skin
ner, who started Wednesday's
game which the Pirates won,
6-4, would be ou there.
He did say, however, that
if Ford pitched for the Yan
kees, right handed hitter Hal
Smith would catch instead of
Smoky Burgess, a left handed
swinger.
Also, Murtaugh would put
Dick Stuart, a right handed
hitter, back at first base in
stead of Rocky Nelson, a
southpaw, if "Stuart';
jammed finger is okay.'
Stuart, a long-ball hitter
although not as good defen
sively as Nelson, played in
Wednesday s opener, but that
finger, injured at the season's
end, bothered him in the late
innings, so Nelson took nis
Dlace in Thursday's .Pirate
slaughter.
Stengel didn't know "what
my lineup will be for Satur
day's game."
I went with my veterans
yesterday and: we did all
right,' he observed. I just
might go with them again."
To go with as many veter
ans as ne could biengei
switched his catcher, Yogi
Berra. to left field, put Elston
Howard back of the plate and
Gil McDougald at third base
instead of Cletis Boyer.
I ain't saying I'm going
to do the same thing tomor
row, but I might," Stengel
said.
Mv Buy with the bad legs
will be in center field."
That's Mickey Mantle, who
hit two home runs Thursday,
one of them a tape-measure
job, to lead the Yankees to
their ono-slded triumph.
It made winner Bob Turley
run out of gas in the ninth
and with two runs in and a
Pirate on base, Stengel took
him out and put in lime
Bobby Shantz.
It took little Bobby iwo
pitches to end it, the second
one resulting in a qoudic
play.
So the Yankees got even,
setting all kinds of records
in tlie process as 18-game
winner Bob Friend, who In
sisted he had good stuff and
felt "real well," going down
to defeat. Friend yiemea
three runs and six hits in four
innings before giving way to
a pinchhttter.
What happened to nis re
lievers was pure mayhem.
The Yankees battered them
into quick submission, start
lne with Fred Green and con
tinuing the onslaught against
Clem Labine, George Witt,
Joe Gibbon and Tom Cheney.
Bob Turley, left, and Mickey

the easy ones managed
drop in for base hits.
Toughest Spot
to
I'd say my toughest spot
was In the fourth when the
score was still 3-1. They hud
gotten three straight hits off
me, they had two men on base
and Bill Mnzcroskl was up.
That was a perfect chance
for the Pirates to really give
me some trouble.
I threw Mnzerosk a curve
and he lined to Gil McDouguld
at third base, Just before he
did, Casey Stengel came out
and had a little talk with mo.
He didn't go into any deep
strategy as perhaps it ap
peared from the stands. He
merely told me. "You know
how to pitch to him."
Mazeroski's was the big out.
It was the first one of the
Inning and coming with run
ners on second and third,
made me feel a whole lot
better.
Then I got pinch hitter
Gene Baker on a pop-up and
Bill Verdon grounded, out to
end the Inning. ,.

Bob Friend Says New York's
Shorter Hits Hurts Bucs Worst
Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank DeVoss
The first Week end of the
shoot-em-up deer season was
a dry, noisy affair with the
bucks either too high or too
low for the majority of hunt
ers. The upper Applegate,
Soda and Parker mountains,
and a couple of spots in .east
ern Oregon were, the places
where some of the hunters
had luck. The Cascades were
so dry that stepping on a pine
needle sounded like a horse
taking a bite from a celery
stalk
BURNING DRY
There are those who
speak of the burning dry
desert sands. We have a
close parallel in our burn
ing dry forests. The most
dangerous aspect of this
hunting season is the prob
ability that a careless per
son or two can jeopardize
the lives of many hunters
by the starting of a forest
fire. Maybe the. extreme
dryness this year made this
not so probable because no
one could avoid the fact
every time a step was tak
en. Anyway, let's keep our
fingers crossed until the
rains come.
BEAR MAN
That man Faeone did H
again. Ben has a lot of prac
tice in the art of delivering
and he delivered a shot that
stopped one black bear from
the Mount Bailey region. The
bears have been upsetting in
the Diamond lake resort area
upsetting the garbage cans
that is. Bon s bear was a
young, tasty type bear, t
last night's bear-steak type
meal gave evidence to. The
better half says that if bears
taste like this, I should hunt
them instead of deer. I'm In
clined to agree.
A CHANGE '
That area of the Cascades
from Mt. McLoughlin north
to Crater Lake is up for
review as to its classifica
tion at Forest Service land.
It was set aside some years
ago by the state forester
and escaped the multiple
use development unlit now.
Those sportsmen and con
servationists who feel that
this area has values main
tained only in its unspoiled
state should keep close tabs
on recommendations made
by the regional foresters as
to the manner in . which
this area will be developed.
THE BEST YET
The lake basins and the
middle fork drainage of the
Hogue river are of particular
value in their natural state.
The Halifax creek area of the
middle fork, is one of the
most scenic to be found in
the West. The middle fork is
prime elk habitat, if we can
get the 'herd established, and
should warrant a wild area
classification. This region is
unique in its unspoiled gran
deur and our job should be to
keep it that way.
THE ANGLERS LOG
The fall run of steelhead
is reported to be steadily
moving up the river and
last reports have them as
far up as Mule creek. Some
of the earlier fish are show
ing at Rainey falls. Cluster
eggs, worms, flies and lures
are producing for those
who are finding the fish.
The word is that they are
pretty well bunched with '
no estimate at to the com
parative sixe of the run.
A report from Cole Rivers,
our fish biologist, is very
optimistic as to whether the
ladder around the falls on
the Illinois river will be fin
ished. It all depends on how
long the wet weather holds
off. The game commission is
also working on the fish lad
LOOK WHAT DODGE HAS

ROLE
der at Rainey falls. The low
water is making it difficult
for the fish to get to the mid
die and upper river. The lad
der pools are being deepened
and the boat channel around
the falls is being cleaned out
and deepened.
UP AND DOWN
The river has been some
what unstable the past
week. The winds of a few
days ago put a lot of leaves
in the waier and they
clogged the screens at Sav
age Rapids dam. The waier
level had to be changed
and this resulted in such a
rapid rise and fall of the
lower river that guides
were in trouble and there
was some boat damage. The
screens are still fouled up.
GOOD AND BAD
For those who like the lake
fishing is the news that Fish
lake produced right, to the
end and Howard Prairie also
gave up some fine fish last
week end. Now that the lakes
are closed xney can plan next
year accordingly. A report of
poor fishing at Diamond lake
was said, to be caused by
floating weeds in the water.
Let's hope this clears up or
aown and stays there.
ALL INVITED
The publis is invited to
the Izaak Walton league
meeting in the Red Cross
building by Hawthorne
park on Monday night. The
speaker will be State Sen
ator Edwin Durno, who
will give his views on na
tural resource develop
ment. A question period
will be provided for those
who have specific ques
tions . for him. Refresh
ments will be served.
THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
The area closed by the pri-
v a t e landowners of the
Greensprings area was in
creased this year to include
some of the public domain
Hunters should check posted
areas with the forest service
and BLM offices. One mieht
wonder at the motivation of
people who close their land
during the buck season be
cause they are opposed to the
doe season. They need edu
cating. ,
GOOD LUCK!
Yankees Acting
Like Old Pros
Pittsburgh -(UPD- One thing
about the New York Yankees
win or lose they act like old
pros when It's all over.
Its not that they don't take
defeat as hard as the next
club, or feel the joy of vic
tory any less than the next
guy. It's just the manner in
which they deport themselves
in either case.
Take Wednesday, for in
stance, when they lost the
opening game of the 1060
World Series to the Pirates,
6-4. There was very little
alibing in the dressing room
and hardly anyone seemed
downcast. Instead, the club's
two top hitters-Mickey Man
tle and Roger Maris-heaped
praise on the Pirates, and sim
ply vowed "we'll get 'em."
Thursday, after they had
virtually run the Pirates off
the field by a score of 16-3
with Mantle blasting two
homers, they simply sat
around their dressing quarters
in a quiet sort of way, Mickey
seemingly least affected by it
all.
STAMPEDERS WIN
Moose Jaw, Sask.- (UPD- The
Portland Buckaroos lost their
second hockey exhibition
game in three starts Thurs
day night, 4-3 to the Calgary,
Stampeders.
Motor Co.
OF "FAVORITE
Pittsburgh -HJPD- The Pitts
burgh Pirates didn't waste any
time leaving town after
Thursday's 16-3 loss' to the
New York Yankees.
It wasn't that their World
Series conscious hometown
fans had run them beyond the
city limits. They had another
date with the Bronx Bombers
-coming up Saturday in Yan
kee Stadium - and the Bucs
wanted to get in a few prac
tice licks well before hand. '
Bob Friend, for sure, was
one who wanted another shot
at the Yankees. He was the
losing pitcher Thursday even
though he "never felt better'
while on the mound. He did
n't feel too well afterward,
however. ,
The Pirate righthander was
tagged for six hits and three
runs in the four Innings he
toiled.
"The only ball they hit
solidly off me was a foul,"
Friend lamented. "I'll admit
I made a bad pitch to winning
pitcher Bob Turley in the
fourth inning that cost us a
run,
Another Crack Wanted
I think I took care of their
heavier hitters pretty well,
but it was the singles and
doubles hitters at- the top and
bottom of their batting order
who caused me all my trou
ble," he added.
I'll tell you honestly,"
Friend said. "I have never
felt better than when I took
the mound and was out there
pitching. I'll tell you just as
honestly I feel mighty disap
pointed right now, but not
discouraged. I want another
crack at them."
Pirate manager Danny Mur
taugh said he figures the Pi
rates will shake off any
effects the heavy New York
hitting may have had on
them.
I'm not concerned with
the hitting they showed us.
We plan to do a little more
ourselves in the games com
ing up," he said. "The Yan
kees could have hit any pitch
er the way they were going.
This was one of the few times
I saw my relief hurlers get
hit so hard."
Murtaugh viewed the key
play as coming in the fourth
inning when the Pirates were
trailing 3-1 and had men on
second and third and no outs.
Bill Mazeroski lined a
vicious liner down the third
base line which McDougald
gloved.
"If that ball goes through,
there's no telling what might
have happened," the Pirate
manager said.

sonville 7 to 0 and Lone Pine

Lone Pine got the tie when
Martin Chadd crossed the
goal with two minutes to

Ruth's Records
Being Chased
By Mick Mantle
By MILTON RICHMAN
Pittsburgh (UPD Mickey
Mantle is chasing Babe Ruth
again and finally may even
catch him within the next
three days.
Mantle likes his chances,
particularly if Pit t s b u r g h
manager Danny Murtaugh
goes through with his plans
to pitch a pair of left band
ers, Wilmer (Vinegar Bend)
Mizell and Harvey Haddix, at
Yankee Stadium in the next
two games.
Ruth's all-time record of 15
World Series' homers came
within Mantle's ' immediate
reach when Mickey smashed
his 12th and 13th home runs
in World Series competition
during a 16-3 victory over the
Pittsburgh Pirates Thursday.
Hits Better Right
Both of those homers came
off left-handers-Fred Green
and Joe Gibbon - and right
there is the key to Mantle's
chances.
"It's no secret that I hit
much "better right - handed
than I do left-handed," said
the switch-hitting Yankee cen
ter-fielder. "If I see some
more left-handed pitching this
Series, who knows, maybe I
could break Ruth's record.
But if I have to hit against
right - handers there ain't
gonna be much chance. I look
lousy when I'm hitting left
handed." Mantle's second homer of
the game in the seventh in
nine Thursday was one of the
longest ever hit out of Forbes
Field by a right-handed bat
ter. The ball cleared a 12-foot
hieh fence at the 436-foot
mark, making Mickey the first
right-handed hitter to accom
plish the feat.
300-Mile
Swim Led
By Lyons
At the end of the fist month
of swimming, Medford team
member Ted Lyons leads his
mates in their "300-mile swim
to Portland" with a total of
46 miles.
The team, which has about
40 members, is swimming the
distance to keep in shape for
the winter and spring compe
tition. The trip will be over
when the first member of the
team has gone the 300 mile
distance.
Actual swimming is being
done in the YMCA pool.
Close behind Lyons in sec
ond place is Bruce Hess with
a distance of 44 miles. Bruce's
sisters, Linda and Rhonda,
are in third and fourth places,
respectively, having swum dis
tances of 40 and 38 miles. Tied
for fourth place with Rhonda
is Linda Wilkes who also has
swum 38 miles.
Swim Coach Ken Lyons
said the team probably will
complete the jaunt sometime
in the spring. Trophies for the
first place finishers have been
donated by Wakefield Drap
ery company of Medford.
