TUESDAY. OCTOBER 11. I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. avor Pittsburgh For First Time Ms F Bucs Name Friend; NY Undecided :. By LEO H. PETERSEN '" : UPI Sporti Editor Pittsburgh IUPD The Pitts burgh Pirates prepared today to let Bob Friend "pop the corks" lor their first world championship celebration in 35 years, while Casey Sten gel wrestled with a pitching problem that brougnt tne New York Yankees to the brink of extinction in the 1960 World Series. ; Needing only one victory In the two remaining games at Pittsburgh, Wednesday and Thursday, the Pirates were favored at 4 to 1 odds to win their first champion- hip since 1925. At the same time the odds-makers made the Yankees 6 to 5 picks to win the sixth game and carry the Series its full seven games. Z It was the first time the Pirates, who had been taken off the boards following Sat urday's 10-0 defeat, were fa vored to win the beries. Manager Danny Murtaugh confidently named 18-game winner Friend as his sixth eame starting ' pitcher but Stengel was undecided be tween right-handed fastballer Bob Turley and lefty curve- bailer Whitey Ford. Stengel's indecision spotlighted a pitch ing problem that was marked Monday when Art Ditmar, who lasted only a third of an inning in last Wednesday's game, was kayoed in the sec ond inning. ' Pint Pitching Strong . In short, Murtaugh appears to have 70-year-old Stengel over the barrel in this World Series because he has Friend, Vern Law and relief ace El roy Face a trio of pitchers the Yankees Just can't match. . Murtaugh also said that he would start the same Pirate lineup that played the fourth and. fifth games Wednesday while here again Stengel was hedging. He promised noth ingand said only that "I've got until Wednesday morning to make up my mind. Stengel, however, is expect ed to put Yogi Berra in left field to add ' lefty-hitting strength against Friend and move Tony Kubek up from the. seventh or eight slot to the lendoff position. It is also possible that CIctis Boyer will take over at third for McDougaid, whose error led to two unearned runs for the Pirates In the second inning of Monday's 5-2 defeat. In times of stress, Stengel usually goes for defense and he considers Boyer his best defensive third baseman. Yanks Not Disheartened ' Veteran Yanks were fur from disheartened by the sud den turn of events in a Series they figured they had won last Saturday and pointed out that Turley carried them vir tually single-handedly to vic tory in the 1058 World Se ries under similar conditions. The Yankees went back to Milwaukee trailing three games to two that year but Turley pulled them through to one of the most satisfying of Stengel's seven World Sc ries triumphs. The fly In the Yankee oint ment, however, Is that Tur ley of 19(30 hasn't been the same Turley of 195B. A fire- balling 21-game winner that year, Turley has relied hea vily on soft curves this year and had a 9-3 record for the campaign. Ford is the follow Stengel and Yankee brass have al ways said they would want to pitch a game they had to win and that's exactly the way to d e b c r I b e Wednesday's game. The rub with Ford is that he had an erratic 12-9 season and pitched only eight complete games. In addition, he never has won a Series game on the road. He had a breeze game in Saturday's rout at Yankee Stadium so should bo physi cally ready for the assign ment.

Medford r ' HOW GAME WAS WON-The key play dur ing Monday's world series game, won by the Pirates 5-2, came in the second inning, ; With Gind Cimoli on third base and Smokey Burgess on second, Pirate Don Hoak bounced to Tony Kubek at short. Kubek threw to Yankee third baseman Gil Mc Fanfare United Medford Crusade will benefit from the sale of programs Friday night Oct. 14 at the Medford-KIamath Union High school football game, The Kiwanis club again is sponsoring this annual proj ect.

Of the 45 previous games Med ford has won 30 and the Pali eight. Seven ended In ties. DEXTER BEND STAR An cx-McLoughlin Junior High school footballer is now a standout back for Bend, according to Bruce Engel in his Prep Patter column in the Portland Oregonian. He Is Jim Dexter, now a junior, who transferred from Eureka, Calif., to Bend. Engel terms Dexter, a left handed passer, the "brightest star in the Lava, Bear galaxy" and comments "just think, if he'd have stay ed there (at Medford)." Dex ter had a 54.7 average for his first nine punts of the season, His average is now 46.4. mettle for the second straight game Monday in making it two In a row over the Yan kees at the stadium. They took advantage of the early break created by .McDou gald's error to gain a 3-0 lead and Harvey Haddix protected it ably until the seventh when Murtaugh was ready to bring in Face. Face, who also saved games number one and four for Law, pitched out of the two-mcn-on, one-out seventh inning jam by getting Mc Dougaid to hit into a force out and striking out Roger Maris. Then 'he breezed through the eighth and ninth facing only seven batters. Dilmar was unlucky but ho wasn't too good either and Stengel must have wished he hud stuck with Bill Stafford the 22-year-old fastballer he planned to use until he woke up Monday morning. Once Stafford finally got into the game he followed Luis Ar royo In' the third inning he took complete command and held the Pirates to three hits and no runs for the next five innings.

Bobby Hull Pulls NHL Hat Trick Montreal -HOT- Bobby Hull, the National Hockey league scoring chamipon from last season wasted little time in finding the range this term, according to league statistics released today.

His death was the first in the young American Football league, and only the third in the history of professional football. Bob Friend Gets Second Chance Against Yanks Pittsburgh-IUPD-Bob Friend says he "can't wait" for Wed nesday, a day in which he hopes to vindicate ihimsclf personally and wrap up the world championship for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the same time. The veteran 31 year old righthander makes no bones about his disappointment over being yanked for a pinch hit ter in me lounn inning ox me second World Series game, which the Pirates lost. "D i s a p p ointcd isn't the word, said Friend, who will start the sixth game for Pitts burgh Wednesday. "I had waited a long time to pitch in a World Series game and then when I finally got to do it, I wasn't even around long enough to enjoy it. "The thing that tnirt was that I had good stuff that day I honestly felt I could beat the Yankees if I had remained in the game. But that's water under the dam now. The only thing that counts with me is tomorrow. For a time, the dejected Friend wasn't even sure that he would get another chance to work in this Scries. But Manager Danny Murtaugh set his fears at rest after the third game of the Scries by announcing that he planned to come back witli him in one of the later games. Friend came mighty close to losing his chance of start ing Wednesday's game during the ninth inning of Monday's contest. Elroy Face had relieved starter Harvey (Kitten) Had dix and Friend was given in structions to warm up in the ninth inning. siPciMnrs Stengel, McDougaid Take Rap ' By NORMAN MILLER United Press International - New York (UPI1 Casey Stengel and Gil McDougaid took their turns at taking the rap for the Yankees' fifth game World Series defeat. Ole Case second - guessed himself for his choice of start ing pitcher and also for the way he deployed his infield during the second inning when the Pirates scored three runs. ; i And McDougaid assumed the blame for muffing a "per fect throw" tha,t made two of those runs unearned, and gave the Pirates an early com manding lead. "It was a perfect throw and I dropped it. What can I say?" McDougaid comment ed with chagrin as he discuss ed his error on shortstop Tony Kubek's throw which at tempted to nail Smoky Bur gess at third base. Hardly Touched "Naw, he didn't barge into me. In fact, he hardly touch ed me. I dropped the ball be fore Burgess even got there," McDougaid added. Someone asked Old Case if he thought the Yankees' plight was "desperate." "I don't know whether it is or not," Stengel replied. "I know how to count. Maybe things are desperate. But why should I say it?" Stengel reflected that per haps after all he should have started young Bill Stafford instead of Art Ditmar, who failed to last the second inn ing. Stafford, who was Sten gel's original choice to start, relieved Ditmar and pitched five shutout innings. I said before I wouldn't hesitate to start Stafford un der any circumstances, and from the way things turned out, maybe that is what I should have done," Stengel mused. "He did a wonderful job, for us but they (the Pirates) stopped us from scor ing." Casey did not excuse Mc Dougaid for his costly error, but the v white-haired skipper wondered out loud what would have resulted had he played his infield differently. With Don Hoak at bat and men on second and third bases with only one out, Sten gel directed his infield to play back. "I was willing to spot them a run at that time," he ex plained. "If I'd have pulled Two Golf Stars Get PGA Honor Dunedin, Fla. - (UPI) - Jim my Demaret of Houston, Tex., and Mike Brady of Brighton, Mass., have been elected to the Professional Golfers' as sociation Hall of Fame in a nation-wide' poll of PGA members.
