MS Cagers Face Grizzlies, Medford's Black Tornado basketballers find themselves this week in the same posi tion as they did a week ago. They are girding for two Southern Oregon conference games while one of their chief challengers has but one week end fracas and can go all out' in preparations against the Hurricane. Medford on Friday goes to Ashland to meet the league's cellar-occupying team. On Sat urday the Tornado encounters the Grants Pass Cavemen at Hedrick court in Medford. It will be the second meet ing of the season for Medford with the two conference foes. Tornado hoopsters romped Raise Given Piersall by Cleveland , By MILTON RICHMAN ' United Press International ' Jim Piersall, Duke Snider and Gil Hodges all got .exact ly what they expected' today -meaning more money . than last year for ; the pixyish Cleveland outfielder but con siderably less for the pair of Los Angeles veterans. " , Piersall, who is being eager ly sought by his old boss, General Manager Frank Lane of Kansas City, said he hoped to remain with the Indians after okaying am ' increase which brings his salary up to an estimated $30,000. Piersall had been expected to be a much tougher cus tomer to sign in view of the fine season he enjoyed. De spite, his numerous run-ins with umpires, he batted .282 hit 18 homers and drove in 66 runs. Snider and Hodges, both of whom had poor seasons, did n't have much to argue about. "Both expected cuts - and took them," said General Man ager E, J. (Buzzy) Bavasi, who insisted, however, ' that the two men still fit into . the Dodgers' plans f br . the com ing campaign. ' Snider hit .243 last season and Hodges a dismal.. 198. Bavasi told Snider it would take "an unusual trade offer" to get him away .from -the Dodgers and the statement seemed to dim the riew York Yankees' prospects for acquir ing the left-handed hitting outfielder.
