2 B FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SF Giants Nudge LA Dodgers 9-6 To Take Series; Only U Games Separate Teams in NL By FRED DOWN UPI Sporti Writtr The San Francisco Giants may or may not win the 1962 National league pennant but at least they can never Be ac cused of folding In the clutch. The Giants - who've dis appointed their San Francisco fans year after year since switching from New York -won the game that kept them in the NL race Thursday night when they downed the Los Angeles Dodgers in a head-to- hend heart-stopper, 9-8. The victory was their third of the crucial four-game se ries in Los Angeles and mov ed them to within l'a games of the Dodgers with three weeks left in the race. There's no guarantee that a pennant will fly over San Francisco's & at an earinir r r 100 inin neutral tplriti SO proof. Intsrnjlional Diitllliriis Co.. L A. park but at least there won't be a white feather atop the flagpole. This was the kind of a game the Giants figured to blow-one in which they piled up an early 4-0 lead at the expense of 23-game winner Don Drysdale and then pro ceeded to see it tied at 4-4. They were tied again in the last of the eighth but then pushed across four big runs in the top of the ninth and made them stand up in the face of a last-ditch Dodger rally in the last of the ninth. Kutnn's Hit Wins Stu Miller, soft-balling re lief ace, finally retired the last Dodger but it was Detroit Tiger castoff Harvey Kuenn whose three-run double in the top of the ninth won the game. Relief pitcher Ron Per ranoski had loaded the bases with none out and then walk ed Orlando Cepeda to force in the run that put the Gi ants ahead, 5-4. Then came Kucnn's base-clearing double that settled matters with the aid of Miller's relief. Some 3,000 miles across the continent the Los Angeles An gels also suffered a blow to their American league pen nant hopes when the New York Yankees beat them, B-5, at Yankee Stadium. That vic tory lifted the Yankees into a three-game lead over the idle second-place Minnesota Twins and put them 4'i games ahead of the Angels. The Angels led behind Dean Chance, 5-2, going into the last of the seventh but the Yankees erupted as is their custom with that old late- Inning lightning with Tom Tresh's two-run single the key blow of a four-run counter- rally that won the game. Jim Coates, who shut out the An gels the last two innings, won his seventh game while Chance suffered his eighth loss against 12 wins. Cards Beat Biavn The St. Louis Cardinals de feated the Milwaukee Braves 7-1, and the Houston Colts rallied for a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the only other major league action on Thursday. uene Olivers two - run seventh-Inning homer enabled the Cardinals to take a 2-1 lead and provided Ernie Bros- lio with the runs he needed to post his 11th win against seven losses. The Cardinals clinch the victory with five runs In the eighth inning, Frank Boiling homered for the Braves run. Rookie Dave Roberts' two- run ninth-inning single, his first major league hit, climax ed a three-run Houston rally Dodge has never sold us a lemon. And we've been using them for more : than 20 years. They give us less trouble than any other make we've owned. Our 600 and 700 series Dodges carry 8- and 9 -ton loads. We've never had even a frame problem with any of them. Our fleet also includes a 1949, a 1951, and two 1952 Dodges that still go out and make the daily store-to-store grind without a murmur!" Mack Beverages, Inc.

The drill, around 7 p.m., will wrap up the second week of practice for the Comets. Head Coach Keith Johnson did indicate, however, that sickness and injury plaguing the Comets could curtail the scrimmage plans. Because of the ailments drills have been piecemeal. Johnson reported. He said that the Comets are not so far along as they were at this stage of workouts last year. Tornado Tutor Believes Football Should Be Fun Head Coach Fred Spiegel berg, along with striving to build winning teams at Med ford high, carries the belief that football should be fun for prep players. Pointing to the fact that the game is a business in pro and collegiate ranks, Spiegelberg remarked in a talk to Med ford Kiwanis club Wednesday that "the last time a football player is going to have fun is playing high school ball." The mentor told Kiwanians at their noon luncheon at Rogue Valley Country club that the Mcdford offense this season will be basically T formation. He said that fan. may see some new formations and that the Black Tornado will do some slotting. He de scribed the offense as "con servative to a point." Spiegelberg ventured that of Medford foes this season "Grants Pass will be the toughest of all. The good class among the Cavemenj ath letes, he reported, is the pres ent junior one. He said wish fully, "I hope they are a year away." Scheduling a Problem Discussing scheduling prob lems, the head coach stated that the difficulty is not that the other schools are "afraid of us." He pointed to the en largenlng conferences and dis tricts in the state where the schools have full schedules just playing among them selves. He reported that Med ford was able to schedule The Dalles and La Grande be cause the Intermountain con ference, a 10-team circuit, had divided into five-school sub districts. Spiebelberg also reported that California snhnnls rniild not be scheduled this fall be-1 cause, while those schools kept their same slates, Ore gon schools changed theirs. Grid practice in this state be gan later this year and games were adjusted accordingly. One of these years, the ! Medford mentor said, Marsh-! field, North Bend and Rose- j burg will likely be in the dis- j trict with the Southern Ore-1 gon schools. The numerous ' schools in the Eugene area would like to get rid of the three, Spiegelberg mentioned. I'hc Dalles Hat Vols In further discuss of Med ford rivals this season, Spieg elberg said that The Dalles has a number of starters back from 1961 and remarked that South Salem always has a good team. He described Marshfield, foe of Medford's home starter on Sept. 21 as "always dangerous." He said that he had heard the Pirates are a year away." Of Crater the Tornado coach said that the Comets have some good linemen back and that they have speed. He reported that Klamath Falls lost a good number of play ers but expressed the feeling that "they'll be tough." Concerning football drills, Spiegelberg spoke of "a lot of little problems (sicknesses and injuries) we hope will work out." Telling of some good talent in the backfield, he mentioned the trouble in not having the backs on hand all at the same time. In the line, Spiegelberg told the ' service club, there is good depth but youth and inex-! perience. I The coach stated that the grad squad included a "real fine sophomore class." Spiegelberg heard approval expressed when he declared that he does not believe in high players blocking with their heads. He said this pro cedure might be all right in college or pro ball when necks have been developed. Jacksonville Sunt f Win International r United Prn International - The Jacksonville Suns hav4 clinched the International league pennant.

"I'm still a lead-pipe cinch to be traded," the Angels' playboy southpaw said after Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick announced Thursday that he would void any deal transferring Belinsky to the Ki.nsas City Athletics. Frick's edict followed an extensive two -day investiga tion of reports that had Belin sky marked for post - season shipment to the Athletics as part of an earlier deal involv ing another young pitcher, Dan Osinskl. Frick pointed out that in the formal papers filed in his office at the time of the Osin ski deal in July, no mention was made of any player owed by the Angels to Kansas City. The papers said only that the A's would receive cash for Osinski. IMtrhlns mrrlcftn l.mtup MrRrldr. An.
