Yogi Berra's Homer Provides
Yanks With 4-3 Nod Over LA
By FRED DOWN
UPI Sporti Wriler
They say this is Yogi Ber
ra's farewell season to base
ball and it looks like he's
given the Yankees another
pennant to remember him by.
. 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

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

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.

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
