TUESDAY. AUGUST 14, 1962 MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Reds Win Ninth Straight; Still Are Pennant Contender By FRED DOWN UPI Sport! Writer Frank Robinson is on the loose-and that means the Cin cinnati Reds must still be reckoned with in the National league race. The Reds are 6'2 games behind the first-place Los An pclcs Dodgers and lour behind the second-place San Francis co Giants but they've reeled olf nine straight victories and have a four-came scries com ing up with the Dodgers this week end. And the way Robinson is going they can't yet be counted out of the race. Won Award Robinson, who won the league's Most Valuable Play er award in 1961, could very well join Ernie Banks as the enly NL players to take it two consecutive years. He's bat ting .343, has knocked in 102 runs and has hit 27 homers and 42 doubles. League Leaders Bv I nilcd Press International NATIONAL l.KAGUF I'lavrr i Club G. All B. II. I'rl. T. Davis.

FeatherweiRht ruler Davey Moore of Columbus, Ohio, de fends his 126-pound title against unranked Olli Maeki of Finland at Helsinki, Fin land, Friday night in Scan dinavia's first world title fight. On Saturday night welter weight champion Emile Grif fith of New York meets mid dleweight contender Denny Moycr of Portland, Ore., in a nationally televised non-title 10-rounder at Tacoma, Wash. In two previous bouts each won a decision. Moore, 28, will be making the fifth defense of the feather crown he won from Hogan Kid Bassey in 1959. He de fended against Bassey, Kazuo Takayania, Danny Valdez and Takayama again, 1st Nov. 13. Moore's 15-round fight with speedy but light-hitting Maeki Giants Open Road Trip Chicago - IUPH -The San Francisco Giants, still flush with victory after a sweep of mighty Los Angeles, opened a 12-game road trip today against the Chicago Cubs. The Giants have only sec ond division foes during this Eastern swing. After the Cubs, they meet Milwaukee, New York and Philadelphia. But even teams of this cal ibre have been tough on San Francisco in road action this year. Furthermore, there is a gaping hole in the Giants' lineup since Jimmy Daven port's knuckle injury has kept him home. Davenport is one of the fin est glovemcn at third base around and is sticking .314 besides. His absence puts a big loud on Harvey Kuenn, who will move in from left field to lake over at the hot corner during must of the road trip. San Francisco entered to day's Cub tiff just 2's games back of the Dodgers. Jack Sanford, whose 1 5-6 record is the team's best, was to pitch the opener for Alvin Dark's troops here today. The Dodg ers meanwhile face rugged Pittsburgh tonight. An interesting sidelight in today's Cub-Giant game cen ters around Chicago rookie second sacker Ken Hubbs, who has played 56 consecutive games without an error. If he does not commit a bobble today, Hubbs will equal the mark set by Red Schocndicnst in 1930. The Giants. Cubs and Dodg ers were all idle Monday.
