r l B mtt iOO Jack Kralick Hurls No-Hit Win for Minnesota Twins By FRED DOWN UPI Spoilt Writer That bulge around no-hit Jack Kralick's tummy could pay ofl in world series vittlea for the Minnesota .twins. It's a long shot, of course, . but is it harder to believe .than the New York Yankees losing six straight games wnn the pennant in their grasp ... or the Cincinnati Reds drive on the National league flag being stopped by a Hous ton Colt team which had lost nine straight games? Or, for that matter, than that Jack Kralick of Youngs town, Ohio, should pitch the fifth no-hitler of the big league season setting a rec ' ord for the lively ball era and missing by a ninth-inning walk the first perfect game in regular-season play since 1922? It's been that kind of a season so don't count out the Twins who are only three games out of first place in the American league with five weeks of the season left to be paced off. Kralick, 26, who was "beef ed up" to 17S pounds this year in hopes of adding to his stamina, pitched his clas sic 1-0 victory against the Kansas City Athletics Sunday. Kralick pitched a perfect game for 8 1-3 innings before walking George Alusik. He then retired the final two bat ters to miss by Alusik's walk the first regular-season per fect game since Charley Rob crtson pitched one in 1922. Twins Move Up The victory moved the Twins to within three games of the Yankees, whose 2-1 loss In Baltimore ran their losing streak to six games. The sec ond-place Angels, three games behind the Yankees and .001 ehcad of Minnesota, beat the Chicago White Sox, 4-0, the Cleveland Indians whipped the Boston Red Sox, 10-5 and 4-0, and the Washington Sena SF Giants Eye Crucial Frays San Francisco - fUPD - The San Francisco Giants got a brief rest today before what will likely be the most crucial 10 days of the 1962 National league pennant race. The Giants, the Los Ange les Dodgers and the Cincin nati Reds are battling down the home-stretch - and they'll nee plenty of each other dur ing that 10-day period. San Francisco, which has been tough at home, hopes to gain valuable ground on both Los Angeles and Cincinnati during the Giants' scries with Milwaukee which begins at Candlestick Park Tuesday. The Dodgers, holding a 2',-i-Rame edge on San Francisco, tangle with the Reds at Chavez Ravine. The Reds are 414 games behind the Dodgers and two behind the Giants. rnn i mi Rental Equipment 2w Air Compressors Water Pumps Cement Finishing Machines Electric and Gas Cement Vibrators Roller Water Wagon WITH OPERATOR 2 Graders Shovel 4 Cranes Back Hoe Drag Lines Tractors With Bulldozers, Ripper or Carryall Turnapulls Gunite Machine With Mobile 600 Cu.

' The Reds, who had won 32 of 40 previous games, were sandbagged by the Colts, 2-1, behind the five-hit pitching of George Brunet and 6-4 on Johnny Temple's, two -run ninth-inning single. They fell 4V4 games off the pace but could rebound suddenly be cause they open a three-game series with the first place Dodgers Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The Dodgers retained their 2 4 game lead with a 16-5 vic tory over the New York Mcts while the San Francisco Gi ants topped the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-4. The Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Braves, 4-1, and the Pitts burgh Pirates gained a 7-6 victory after losing to the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-5, in other N.L. action. Robin Roberts pitched a five-hitter and Brooks Robin son and Jim Gentile homered for the Orioles who swept the five-game series with the Yan kees.

Cash who has 34 hom ers, suffered the Injury in the second game of Sunday's twinbill with the Washington Senators, which the Tigers lost, 5-2, after taking the opener.

Indians Take Opener The Indians rolled to their first game victory as Bubba Phillips knocked in four runs with a single and a homer and then Dick Donovan pitched two-hitter for his 17th win of this season and the 100th of his major league career. Homers by Bill Burton, Norm Cash and Steve Boros led the Tigers to their first-game win but then the Senators bounced back behind the eight - hit pitching of Claude Osteon. Maury Willis stole his 70th, 71st and 72nd bases of the season eight short of Bob Bescher's NL record-and Tim Harkness and Willie Davis homered for the Dodgers who scored 12 unearned runs as a result of five Met errors. Jack Sanfor went 6 2-3 in nings to win his 12th straight game and 18th of the season for the Giants whose seven-hit attack was led by homers by Orlando Ccpeda and Felipe Alou. Art Mahaffcy, seeking his 18th victory, suffered his 11th defeat. Dick Ellsworth's six - hit pitching enabled the Cubs to top the Braves and Bob Skin ner's two-run homer sparked the Pirates to their second game win after Bill White's two-run eighth-inning homer lifted the Cardinals to their first-game victory.

MEDFORDt53WrRIBimB Van Brocklin Cautious About Predicting Season For Minnesota Vikings (Thii is lho seventh in a leriei on the pre-teaion sixeups of profession toot ball teams.) By BOB MARTEL St. Paul - Mincapolis - UPP - At this time last year Min nesota Vikings coach Norm Van Brocklin made a predic tion that his neophyte Nation al Football league team would not finish last, But it did finish last in the Western Division and, there fore, Van Brocklin is more cautious with his predictions this season. "We might be stronger this season," said Van Brocklin. "But we're just going to live from week to week.' The Vikings have improved a porous defense, but on the other hand find themselves weaker at offensive ends. Van Brocklin feels, however, the marked improvement on the defensive side of the ledger may more than compensate for any letdown in the of fense. The big reason for the boost in the Viking's defense is the addition of Cliff Livingston, veteran New York Giants line backer. Better seasons are ex pected from tackle Jim Pros tell, end Jim Marshall and sophomore middle linebacker Rip Hawkins, and Van Brock lin feels they will provide a better pass rush than the Vik ings could muster last year. Improvement also is ex- Cleveland Looks Like Real Goods By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer The Cleveland Browns arc beginning to look more and more like the "real goods" this year, which could, of course, mean nothing but trouble again in the National Football league. The Browns, out of the run ning the last four seasons after practically dominating the NFL in seven of the eight previous years, ripped off their third straight exhibition victory during the week end-34-27-over the San Francisco Forty Niners. and even their most outspoken critics are starting to take notice. With newcomers Jim Nin owski and Tommy Wilson put ting on a dazzling passing and running display, the Browns opened up a 27-14 lead after three periods at Portland, Ore., Saturday night and then scored what proved to be the clincher in the last period, just before the speedy Forty Niners tallied their final touchdown. The victory left the Browns, defending champion Green Bay Packers and the Balti more Colts as the NFL's only undefeated teams in pre-sea-son play. The Packers made it four in a-row by beating the Chi cago Bears, 35-21, while the Colls gained their third straight wilh a 2410 decision over the Da I his Cowboys. In the other week end NFL ex hibition games, the New York Giants edged the Los Angeles Rams, 31-24; the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washing ton Redskins, 24-7; and the St. Louis Cardinals nipped the Minnesota Vikings, 24-21. In the only American Foot ball league games played dur ing the week end, the San Diego Chargers spoiled Oak land's debut in its new stadi um by beating the Raiders, 33-27. Physical Exams Set for Hcdrick Hoys planning to play foot ball at Hcdrick Junior High school are to report to Med ford Clinic, 1025 East Main st., on Tuesday evening for physical examinations.

Those responsible are d Sharockman, whose rookie season was delayed a year because of a broken ankle suffered in the College All Star game; and Dean Derby, an all-pro choice in 1958, who has been moved up from safety man. (No mention of Jack Morris, ex - Medford High.) Kookie Larry uuilford, a 15th-round draft choice from University of Pacific, has im pressed the Vikings' coaching staff with his play at safety and may earn a starting job at that position. The retirement of end Dave Middleton to devote full time to his medical career and the holdout of reserve A. D. Wil liams leaves the club totally lacking in experienced hands at the spread end position. The offensive backficld should be one of the Vikings' stronger points. Should Avoid Mislakos Fran Tarkenton, who had an outstanding rookie season at quarterback, has learned his lessons and should avoid mis takes made as a beginner. Tar kenton is backed by veteran George Shaw and former Gi ant Lee Grosscup The Vikings are solid at fullback with veterans Ray Mayes, Doug Mayberry, Glenn Shaw and Mel Triplelt. Hayes appears to have the edge on me rest of the field. Tommy Mason and Hugh McElhenny will alternate at the running halfback position ana the capable Jarry Reich ow returns at flanker back. Among the impressive rook ies in camp are defensive half back Chuck Lamson, Wyo ming; linebacker Roy Win ston, Louisiana State; offen sive guard Marshall Shirk ucA, and offensive end Steve Stonebreaker, Detroit.

East pulverized West 25 to 0 here Saturday night in the an nual Shrine High school all star football game for players from A-2 and Class B schools. Steve Geren, halfback from Eagle Point, and Mike Cons bruck, fullback from Phoenix, piled up the bulk of the yard age for the East and eacn crossed the goal line in the game. Coach Jack Woodward's East, utilizing powerful single wing offense and rock-wall defense with high morale and talented personnel, turned an early break into a touchdown and from there on dominated the game. Geren, selected as the most valuable player in the fracas, scored twice. Consbruck plunged for one touchdown. The other was tabulated by Drains' sparkling Gary Cox, who alternated with A. J. De Maris, Sisters, at quarterback, in guiding East to triumph. Outstanding Consbruck was chosen out standing back for his team. Outstanding lineman laurels went to Mike Shirtcliff, Myr tle Creek, another District fl A-2 participant. For West, Richard Armstrong, Myrtle Point, and Larry Adamson, Estacada, were named out standing back and lineman, respectively. East's first chance in the tussle came in the first quar ter when Roger Hiatt, Vale back shifted to end for the game, recovered a fumble on West's 19-yard line. The even tual winners went to the three-yard line and Geren skirted end for goal. His ex tra point kick try failed. West had a chance when a Geren fumble was recovered on the East 30 yard line. But, East showed its defensive prowess to hold and never again was in real trouble. Second touchdown resulted from a sustained drive with Consbruck going the last yard. East went to the dressing room in front 12 to 0. Geren's kick was blocked. Doug Sanders Aided by Eagle Oklahoma City - IUPU - Doug : Sanders is a man who likes 1 to bide his lime until its time to strike. But when's he's ready to make his move, look out.

He climaxed ! his remarkable rally by roll ing in a 22 foot eagle putt on the 18th hole. As it turned out, that was the big one and saved him from a sudden death playoff J with Johnny Pott, who was putting on as fast a finish. Sanders, a 29-year-old pro fessional from Ojai, Calif., shot a 67 on the par 38-36-72 Quail Creek course, his best j round for a 72-hole total of I 80.

Use of a nine-man line by West did bring on the need for Eastern passes - and the aer ials clicked. "For a while," said Coach Jack Woodward, Phoenix, "everything we did went just right." Said the coach of the victor ious team further, "we just had too much for them . . . We just had more talent than they did." Woodward had predicted that the West would not be able to halt the East attack but he figured that East might have a hard time stopping the West too. But the West of fense was stymied.
