MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. APRIL U. 1961 Bob Christie Residing in Indianapolis Indianapolis - Bob Christie, 38-year-old race driver, has moved from his birthplace and home town of Grants Pass, Ore., to Indianapolis, Ind. His move to the "Auto Rac ing Capitol" did not come as I surprise in view of his recent increase in activity. Bob will drive in the May SOth "500", the championship trail and as many passenger (stock) car races as he can fit Into his schedule during 1962. One reason for Bobs change in residence is due to the lo cation of the U. S. Auto club which sanctions all these major events throughout the country. They are headquar tered in Indianapolis and have tigned up approximately ISO races this year including midgets, sprint cars, stock cars, sports cars and Cham pionship cars. 131h in 1956 As most Oregon sports fans know, Bob started racing back in 1947 and has competed in the gruelling Mexican road race plus numerous stock car events in the northwest. In 1954 he purchased his own race car for the Indianapolis 500 although his first start in that important race was in 1956 when he drove to a 13th place finish. He has competed in every "500" since then and will drive a car this year owned by William Tucker of Galion, Ohio, known as the North Electric Special. For his many fans around the Pacific northwest who wish to follow his exploits more closely, his car number at the "500" this year is 29. Would-Be Wrestler Offered Chance in Ring Here Thursday Some would-be Rogue val ley wrestler can make himself $100 if he can stay 10 minutes with either Billy Whitewolf or Wild Bill Savage at the Medford armory Thursday night. Promoter Elton Owen mare that proposition today and said that any one who wants to try to earn the money need only to show up at the arena before 8:30 p.m., when the first regular preliminary match is scheduled to start, and make his wishes known. Leafs Win Cup Start Toronto-IUPD- Coach George Punch Imlach agreed his Tor onto Maple Leafs did a good job in beating the Chicago Black Haws, 4-1, in the open ing game of the Stanley Cup final, but he figures "we can do better." The Leafs recovered from an early 1-0 deficit against the Hawks with two goals in each of the next two periods as they caught the Windy City crew flat and tired following their upset semifinal victory over the National Hockey league champion Montreal Ca-nadiens. OSU Thinclads In Triangular Corvallis - rtJPIt - Oregon State's strong track and field team, which handed Washing. ton one of its worst defeats in history last week end, takes on California and Fresno State in Berkeley Saturday Coach Sam Bell's Beavers ran up the second highest score in school history in de feating Washington 104 to 3S'3. Dale Story, Oregon State's "barefoot boy" who holds school mile, two mile and three mile records, probably will compete in the two-mile Saturday. Neathamer Top Hitter Of Tornado LA Lakers Lead Series By ART S NDER Los Angeles -JUPD- A proud athlete, Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, was upset over his performance in the opening National Basketball Association playoff last week between Boston and Los An geles. But he made up for it Tuesday night. The thin guard intercepted a Celtic pass with three sec onds to play and sped alone for the game winning layin as the Lakers edged Boston, 117 115, to take a 2-1 lead in the best four-of-seven game series. The teams play in the fourth game of the set tonight. And the onetime West Vir ginia University star did more than give the final punch. With Los Angeles trailing 115-113 and only three sec onds to play, he stood at the foul line and methodically put in two free throws to tie the score. Boston called time out to set up its one last play. But when Sam Jones tossed the ball toward Bob Cousy, West got his gangling arm in the way and drove in for the bucket. LA Angels Drop Another by One Chicago -IUPD- The Los An geles Angels rest today for another go at the Chicago White Sox Thursday after the Sox captured the opener Tues day. 2-1. Angel Manager Bill Rigney will send pitching ace Ken McBride to the mound against Sox starter Jor Horlen. In what might be a sign of things to come for the Angels, they dropped a cliffhanger by their infamous one-run mar gin. Last year Los Angeles lost 30 games by one run. Credit for the Angel loss goes to Sherm Lollar, who whacked his fourth hit of the game in the ninth to score Floyd Robinson. Juan Pizarro hurled a standout five - nit game before 18,124 opening day fans. Ryne Duren, the fourth of five Angel pitchers, set the stage for Lollar's hit when he walked Robinson. After Al Smith fouled out, Duren is sued another pass to Mike Hcrshberger. Duren was tag ged for the loss. If anyone wants a tryout at wrestling, Owen said he always keeps extra tights available and he will be glad to loan a pair. Garsa Improving Meanwhile, local wrestling fans will get a look at one of the most rapidly improving grapplers in the country when they see Dick Garza of De troit in action against Wild Bill Savage in the 45 min utes semi-windup, down for two out of three falls. Savage, who occasionally appears in the ring wearing a mask which he uses to head butt his opponents into sub mission, will have his hands full with the talented Garza. The main event, scheduled for an hour or the best of three falls, will see Fritz Von Goering and Kurt Von Pop penheim, a pair of rough and tough Germans, post their northwest tag team champion ship against Rocky Columbo and Billy Whitewolf. Whitewolf Won Fans Whitewolf, wrestling coach and student at Portland State College when he isn't on the professional mat circuit, won a host of fans here two weeks ago when he won the battle royal. His partner in the tag affair also was seen here, in November when he dumped Nicoli Volkoff. Von Goering and Von Pop- penheim will stop at nothing if they think it will mean victory but they will have to go all out to overcome the smart tactics of their adver saries. Columbo and Von Goering will have a crack at each other in the curtain-raiser, scheduled for a lone fall or 30 minutes. Ringside tickets will re main on sale at Lamport s Sporting Good store through out tomorrow. Mike Neathamer, swatting the horsehide at a fat .407 clip, has paced the Medford High school Black Tornado baseball crew in the hitting depart ment over its first nine games The Tornado outfielder has 11 hits, including two doubles, in 27 times at bat as the Mcd fords have compiled a .245 team hitting average along with a six-win, three-loss record.

PIN-UP FAN Hampton, Iowa - (UPll - John Pronk is only 10 years old but he is serious bout collecting pin-ups. The boy wrote the Iowa Highway commission asking for picture, of the blade-equipped dump trucks which plow snow from roads "to pin up in my room." Cincinnati Reds Clip Dodger Nine Los Angeles (UPD The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cin cinnati Reds today joined in praise of the Cravez Ravine stadium as they prepared for tonight's first game under the lights at the fabulous new ball park. With one southpaw, Johnny Podres, having gone down to defeat in the inaugurl game at the $18-million stadium Tuesday, the Dodgers called on another lefty, Sandy Ko fax. to work tonight. Koufax, 18-13 last year, is the Na tional League's strikeout king. For the Reds, Moe Drabow sky got the pitching assign ment from manager Fred Hutchinson who is filling the gap caused by a slight hand injury to Jim O'Toolc. Dra bowsky, a former Chicago Cub, was drafted from Louis ville in the winter. Bob Purkey worked Tues day in the place of O'Toole and pitched the Reds to a 6-3 victory to the disappointment of most of the crowd of 52,- 560 fans who hoped vainly the Dodgers would get off to a winning start in the new stadium. Best Seen Players and officials laud ed the new park as the best they had seen. About the only complaint either Dodger man ager Walt Alston or Hutchin son would voice was that out field was too choppy. But groundskeepers went to work even before the crowd was out of the park Tuesday to correct the condi tion. The symetrical design of the playing field did not ap pear to favor either right or left handers. Righthander Purkey pitched an outstand ing game as he gave up only six scattered hits in TA in nings. Although loser Johnny Po dres was touched for 11 hits, Alston said he thought the star pitcher threw well "but Cincinnati was able to hit him." The difference between the teams was veteran outfielder Wally Post's three-run homer in the seventh a 410-foot clout.'
