Old Yogi has been reduced to part-time activity this sea son and his batting average is a mere .225 but Wednesday night he delivered a two-run eighth-inning homer that gave the Yankees a 4-3 victory over .the Los Angeles Angels and just about wrapped up Ralph llouk's second straight flag. ; The Yankees have now given the Angels both barrels Jn ' their so-called "crucial" series. Barrel No. 1 was Tues day's 11-4 victory and barrel No. 2 was Wednesday night's triumph stretching the Yan kee lead to six games. All that remains is for the Yankees to deliver the coup de grace to day. Late Inning Lightning A crowd of 49,389 at Los Angeles saw Leon Wagner's ihrce-run first-inning homer off Whitey Ford enable the Angels to carry a 3-2 lead into STANDINGS I'nitfd Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE W.

Roland Sheldon, who pitched only the seventh inning, received credit for his SD Padres Widen To 14 Games By RAYMOND L. ANDREWS United Press International It looks like the San Diego Padres have the Pacific Coast League pennant wrapped up and rookie lefty John Flavin has had a big hand in the packaging. Flavin, a 19-year-old. pitch ed a nifty four-hitter Wednes day night as the league lead ers topped Hawaii 5-2 to open up a 14-game lead over second-place Salt Lake City. In other games. Seattle took Spokane 5-1, Portland scored a 3-1 victory over Vancouver and Tacoma tripped Salt Lake 9-4. Flavin fanned live and walked but one to run his sea son's record to 11-2. One Ha waii run came in the seventh without the benefit of a base hit and the other in the ninth on Ray Webster's homer. However, the Padres got one marker in the second on Jesse Gonder's homer and then added two more in the fourth on a two-run blast by Ken Walters. San Diego added single runs in the fifth and eighth and Flavin breezed home. Portland broke a 1-1 dead lock in the fifth with a run as the Mounties committed three errors and then added f-n in surance run in the eighth on doubles by Jay Hankins and Dave Ricketts.

Baltimore Colts Sorely In (This is another in a series on the pre-seasons prospects of professional football teams for the 1962 season.) By MALCOLM ALLEN Baltimore, Md. 1UPI1 - The Baltimore Colts face the 1962 National Football league sea son sorely in need of a full back. Joe (The Jet) Perry., 3 35-year-old veteran who was ac quired from San , Francisco last season and performed magnificently, suffered a torn leg ligament in an exhibition game against the Washington Redskins. He was placed on waivers with an injury nota tion and is out for anywhere CALL UP OUTFIELDER St. Louis - IUPII - Outfielder Bob Burda has been called up by the St. Louis Cardinals from their Atlanta farm club of the International league to replace the injured Minnie Minoso. Burda, 24. has a .304 batting average, 71 RBI's and 10 home runs with the Crack ers. MADISON ADVANCES Bridgeton, N. J.-lllPli-Madi-son of Portland advanced to the third round of the nation al Babe Ruth base! all tour nament Wednesday. The un beaten Oregon team posted a 5-3 decision over Charlotte, N.C., in second round action. MedfordWtribunb SIPdDMTS Fanfare Softballers, contending in the stale tournament at Me morial field, White City, missed a good bet Monday night. Aim o s t everybody knows that a Softball is not soft and that it is almost as hard as a baseball. What a Softball lacks, that a baseball has, i is liveliness. Now, if one of the teams, preferably the John Wheeler Loggers, had caught that scared jackrabbit and put it in the ball. The rabbit, apparently one which had escaped from an American Legion junior base ball, delayed the game Mon day between the Medford club and the Albany entry, cavort ing about the field for a short period. PIGTAIL NIXED Another tournament oddity occurred Sunday. Pendleton on the brink of defeat at the hands of Corvallis in the seventh inning, feared the consequences of a wild pitch or passed ball. Bob's Hiway service team from the wheat country brought in an out fielder and put him behind the catcher as a "pig-tail." The umps would not allow it, however. Baseball rules say that all players but the catcher must be in fair terri tory when a ball Is put in play. TERRIFIC PLAY Some really terrific soflball was seen during the tourney at the Veterans Administra tion home. There was some fine fielding, pitching and hit ting. It's a shame that, with such a good tournament, the stands and bleachers were not filled to capacity for every session during the five days. Some of the baseball ad dicts frown on Softball. We like both but the game of Softball has the hardball beat for overall speed. It certainly keeps the press box on its toes. MOOSE COMMENDED The Medford Moose lodge and slate director Bob Rob ertson mull be commended for their fine work in staging the men's stale Softball meet at White City, Our special thanks goes to those respon sible for keeping the press box staff supplied with coffee and soft drinks. We'd like particu lar note to be taken by the Medford Lions club which will sponsor the Tri-City- Eu gene baseball game of the Northwest league at Memorial field on Monday, Aug. 27. We could even make this a little more personal. A vote of thanks also to John Wheeler for his pari in bringing the tourney here.

Norway picked up 47.25 points against 38 for the United States. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribuna Sports Editor earlier this week was that Jack Woodward, Phoenix, head coach of the East team for the East-West Shrine foot ball game, was not pleased with the showing of his charges in defense drill. Woodward, however, did praise the defensive showing of players, one of them, Steve Geren, from Eagle Point. Geren, an offensive back, 'is be ing groomed al a guard on defense. Offensively, Woodward commented that Mike Cons bruck,. fullback from his 1961 co-cliampionship team, was looking good. At Pendleton, where Ihe west team Is prepping, re- ports indicate that Cons bruck's running ability is not being taken lightly. The East-West game for A-2 and B prep players will be this Saturday, August 25, at Pendleton. FLINK KF CHAMPION Don't be surprised if you see Lee Flink refereeing bas ketball games in this area dur ing this coming season. Lee left here a couple of years ago to take a Federal aviation agency airport control tower post at Pocatello, Idaho. Next, he assumed a similar position at Pendleton. Flink is back in this sec tion of the- stale now. He's Klamath Falls airport tower chief, Lee made the golfing news last week end. He's the new champion of Reamos Golf and Country club. He de feated Adolph Zamsky 3 and 1 in the club tourney final. BIANCH1 HITS BACK John Bianchi, ex-KIamath Union high athlete, who has been playing pro ball this season with the Salisbury Chiefs of the Class D West ern Carolina league, is out of action for the summer and back home. He injured his back on a sharp rock while fielding a fly ball. Bianchi reported that he was balling about .313 when he was in jured. He led the league In hitting for about five weeks with an average up around .350. BIG LEAGUE PROSPECT A pitcher regarded as one of the lop major league pros pects in the Northwest Base ball league will be seen here on Monday, Aug. 27, when Eugene is host to Tri-City. The player is Eddie Nottle of Tri-City Braves. Charlie Van Sickel, sports editor of the Pasco, Wash., Tri-City Herald and president of the Braves. reports that Nottle is a 1.89 earned run average and has saved 16 games this year for his club. 1918 ' I il Need of Fullback To Replace Injured Perry icamp is rookie fred Gillett. So the club may have to trade. The loss of Perry, even if temporarily, leaves a big hole ! in the Colts' lineup. He was the team's top rusher last sea son with a 675-yard total and an average of four yards per carry. Otherwise, there 11 be no major changes in the Colts this season. Top performers like quart erback Johnny Unitas, half back Lenny Moore and eno Gino Marchetti are back and in no jeopardy of losjng their jobs. There are standout rookies in camp, adding zest to the pre-season competition, but generally the Colts will resemble the team of last year. There mav be a change at defensive tackle. The hold overs are veterans, Billy Ray Smith and Art Donovan, who is the patriarch of the Colts. He is 37 and starting his 13th season in the NFL. This year Donovan is being pressed for his job by Jim Colvin, John Dichl and Joe Lewis, all ex perienced. Raymond Berry, who ap pears fit after knee trouble last season, will be back at one end spot on the offensive team. Dee Mackey is given a slight edge to advance to the first-string tight end spot in place of retired Jim Muts- cheller. But Ken Gregory, Au brey Linne and high jumping R. C. Owens, who will play some end when not a slot back, also are in the running. Veterans Jim Parker and George Preas will be back at tackle and Alex Sandusky and Palmer- Pyle will hold forth at guard. Dick Szyman- ski will play center again. Golden-armed Johnny Uni tas, confident he won't be bothered by finger trouble this season, will call signals in backficld including Moore and either Alex Hawkins, Tom Matte or, on occasion Owens, as halfbacks. Big, tough Gino Marchetti and Ordell Brasse will be at the defensive ends once more. Smith and perhaps The style trim LEVI'S And how they fit! '' YOUR MEDFORD HEADQUARTERS FOR..
