2 L WEDNESDAY. MARCH 27. 19S3 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON MEDFORDgWTRIBimB SIPaDIffiTS Columbo Favorite In Title Mat Bout ROCKY COLUMBO To Make Bid for Till WHL Standings Bit Deceiving United Press International Tlie Western Hockey league's Northern division standings show two teams tied ' Xor first and two tied for third, but appearances arc a ' trifle deceiving. Both Vancouver and Seattle have 70 points after Van couver ran roughshod over Edmonton 7-2 Tuesday night in the only WHL action. But Vancouver has one big advantage over Seattle, for it has played one less game. With five days left In the season, that solitary contest looms larger. 1 Seattle hosts Calgary and Vancouver while Vancouver faces Portland, Spokane and Seattle. ' The apparent third place tie is much more lop-sided. Both Edmonton and Cal gary have 48 points, but Ed monton has only a contest loft at Calgary while the Stamped ers also play Portland and Seattle before hosting the Flyers. Rocky ' Columbo, former professional boxer from New York, is a slight favorite to win the Pacific coast junior heavyweight champio n s h i p when he meets Wild Bill Sav age in the main event of Pro moter Elton Owen's all-star wrestling card at Medford armory tomorrow night. The program starts at 8:15 p.m. and doors will open an hour earlier. Both men are exceptionally fast for heavyweights but Co lumbo s cleverness and his ability to take a beating and come back give him the edge in the match. - - The bout will be Savage's first defense of the crown which he won in a gruelling scrap with Nick Kozak here last Feb. 21. They will go for an hour or two out of three falls. Two supporting matches have been arranged by Owen. The semi-windup will see Jack Dalton clash with Cow boy Bob Boyer and the open er pits Jim Dalton, Jack's younger brother, against classy Ricky Hunter. YANKS BUY BUDDIN Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

A brief onference followed, and within an hour after the plane landed, Baker was signed to a 1963 contract. No terms were disclosed, but it was presumed the 22-year-old left-hand passer - ono of the most honored collegiate football players in history - received a healthy bonus from the National Football league team.

SF Giants Do Better Casa Grandei Ariz. -IUPU- The San Francisco Giants are doing better these days in spring training - they're not losing by such big scores. The Los Angeles Angels made it a clean sweep of the befuddled National League champs Tuesday at Phoenix in a 4-2 battle. Jack fisher probably ce mented his spot as manager Alvin Dark's fifth starter when he hurled eight score less and spectacular innings. In the ninth, the desert sun got to him and he walked three men in a row. Manager Alvin Dark pulled out the rotund right hander and put in Danny Rivas. Bob Sadowski lost Rivas' first pilch over the right field fence and a quartet of cherubs pa raded across the dish. The Giants outhit the An gels 11-9 as Jose Pagan got three safeties and Jim Daven port and Tom Haller two. San Francisco took on their Tacoma farm team here today Although manager Al Dark failed to make any cuts Tues day as expected, it was thought that a few squad members might not be on the bus back to Phoenix tonight. Dark met with his troops before Tuesday's game and said that he would go all out for victories henceforth. "But," he added, "I'm still go ing to give players days off and chase them out of the park. "However, with what we have available we'll make the moves that are based on win ning. Conditioning is over.

Kralick Goes Nine As Twins Win 2-0 By DICK JOYCE UPI Sports Wrlt.r Manager Sam Mele, who guided the Minnesota Twins to a surprising second place finish in the American league race last season, is whipping his pitching staff into shape for another crack at the world champion New York Yan kees. Southpaw Jack Kralick be came the second Minnesota pitcher to pitch a full nine innings Tuesday in blanking the Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, on six nits. Just last Saturday, the Twins' other top left hander, Jim Kaat, went the route against the Philadelphia Fhlllles. No other major league team has had two pitchers go all the way this spring. In fact, only three other pitchers Johnny Fodres of the Los An geles Dodgers, Paul Brown of the Phils and Gordon Seyfried of the Cleveland Indians-have gone the distance during the exhibition season. Kralick, who pitched a no- hitter last year, scattered four hits in eight innings Tuesday before weakening with two out in the ninth inning. Jim Gentile and Joe Gaines sin gled but Kralick got the last batter on a ground out. Vic- Power's first inning home run off Robin Roberts and Earl Battey's sacrifice fly in the sixth provided for the Twins' runs. Giants Los. Anoth.r ' The San Francisco Giants, who came close to beating the Yankees in the World Series, suffered their fourth straight defeat to the Los Angeles An gels Tuesday, 4-2. Bob Sadow- ski's grand slam homer in the ninth Inning came off rookie Danllo Rivas. Jack Fisher who had pitched eight score less innings, walked three An gels in the ninth before giv ing way to Rivas. The Dodgers and Phils both unleashed their powerful hitting attacks Tuesday. The Dodgers ripped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 19-6, and the Phils pummcled the St. Louis Car dinals, 16-8. In other games, the Chicago White Sox tripped the New York Mets, 2-1; the Detroit Tigers downed the Yankees, 2-1: the Milwaukee Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds, 7-5 and Houston Colts clipped the Chicago Cubs, 6-4; the Indians bopped the Boston Red Sox 5-3. and the Kansas City Ath letics defeated the Washing ton Senators, 7-6. Bill Skowron and Dick Men hit home runs in pacing the Dodgers 20-hit attack. Tommy Davis drove home five runs for Los Angeles while south paw Sandy Koufax pitched seven innings for the Dodgers, striking out nine and giving up 10 hits. Balis Three-Run Homer Johnny Callison belted a three-run homer and Don Demeter hit a solo homer as the Phils scored four runs in the seventh inning and seven in the eighth. Ron Hansen s two-run sin gle beat the Mets, who, never theless, received four score less innings of pitching from Carl Willey, recently acquired from the Braves. Al Kallne's homer and the seven-hit pitch ing of Don Mossi and Terry Fox led the Tigers to victory. Although outhit, 16-5, the Braves capitalized on Ken Hunt's wildness to beat the Reds. Hunt, a rookie sensation two years ago but relegated to the minors last year, walk ed eight, made two wild pitch es and contributed an error before leaving in the fifth. Houston rallied for four runs in the ninth and with stood a Chicago rally behind Larry Ycllen's clutch relief pitching. Four doublcplays helped the Indians overcome the Red Sox. Seyfried picked up the victory and hit a homer. Rookie Dick Green hit a Laker Injured Could Be Back Riverside, Calif. OJPii Most of the Los Angeles Laker's string of Injured players may be back in action tonight in an intrasquad game at Ramo na High school.

Snider Pulled Back From List Vero Beach, Fla. - (UPD - Duke Snider was dangled on the Los Angeles Dodgers' waiver list Tuesday but Dod ger general manager E. J. (Buzzie) Bavasi pulled the vet eran slugger back before the New York Mets or Yankees could take a big bite. Duke, 36, was a popular hitting star with New York fans during his 1949-1957 stay in Brooklyn and both New York clubs claimed him on waivers. But Bavasi withdrew him from the list Tuesday and said he wasn't so sure now that he wanted to dispose of Snider, who has to buck a youthful and talent-loaded squad of Dodger outfielders to get into the lineup. Bavasi told Mets general manager George Weiss last Wednesday that he would con sider a deal for Snider "with- n the next 10 days." "The 10 days won't be up until Satur day," Bavasi said Tuesday.

The Eastern division cham pion Celtics take on the Cin cinnati Royals Thursday night at Boston in the first game of a sectional final and the West ern division champion Lakers swing into action against the St. Louis Hawks at Los An. geles Sunday. Both best-of- seven series will determine the playoff finalists. Big "O" Paces Royals Cincinnati, led by Oscar Robertson's 32 points, defeat ed the Syracuse Nationals, 13.1-127, in overtime and Bob Pettit's 35 points paced St. Louis to a 104-100 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Tues day night's climactic first round games. The Celtics beat the Royals nine times in 12 games during the regular season, so were pulling for them to oust the Nats, who split in 12 games with the world champions. The Lakers had trouble with the Hawks during the regular season, beating them only seven times in 12 games. Detroit, on the other hand, lost to the Lakers 11 of 12 meetings. "All the way to LA'' the Royals shouted in the dressing room as champagne corks popped, figuring they could get by Boston and L.A. would win the Western title.
